NEW BOOKS OUT
 FOR POLL TAXES Are Great Improvement Over Those of Former Years EXPECTS GOOD EXHIBIT J. c. Adams Returns to Montgomery From North Alabama Trip in Interest of the Birmingham
 Fair.
EXPECTS GOOD EXHIBIT

Montgomery, September 28.-(Special.) J. The state auditor is sending out the books of receipts for poll taxes and will have them in the hands of tax collectors ! by the first day of October. The books are new in form and will have many improv- ed features over old ideas. In each book there is a sheet of receipts behind which Is thing sheet for copy. A carbon is used and exact copy taken of each re- ceipt issued. This does away with a stub and serves as check on the tax payer as well as the collector.
 Another great advantage is that the 2-3-4 and 5, so that payments on each year, which must be made before voting, can be shown on the one slip Heretofore, the collectors have not had to make stubs but have had to write a separate receipt and stub for payments on each year. The new books will be of great benefit as time-savers, and serve as q double check that is quite to the point.

Adams, chief clerk to the state commissioner of agric Allure, and in charge of arrangements for state exhibits at the state fair in Birmingham and the Gen. tral Alabama fair in Selma, has returned from a trip to Birmingham and north Alabama, in the interest of the two en- terprises.

The state polyte->rlc institute at Auburn will have an exhibit It has not been said yet whether the district agricultural schools will have exhibits or not.
 MT. Adams will leave Saturday for Selma, to have a look into the prelimina- ries for the Central Alabama fair, which opens just as the Birmingham fair closes and he will see that every arrangement is made for a fine display there.

WHAT THEY SAY OF
WISCONSIN WEATHER

Backward, turn backward, Oh
time in your flight, give us July
again, just for tonight: we are dis
guSted with snow and ice: heed our
sweet MARBLE and take our advice
turn the clock back till it reads
August one, give us some dog days,
give us the sun: give us mosquitoes
and send back the flies, but turn on
the lheat before everything dies;
bring back our straw hat and good
linen pants; give Us a chance to live,
give US a chance. "-Kaukauna Sun.
81 remember, / remember, O, most
bright Kaukauna Sun, the days before
the freeze up, fore the suns work
here was done, but that sun has
surely left us, and that loss we have
to mourn, but / remember, | re-
member, the days when it was warm.
Now the cold wind comes to chill us
and it takes more grub to fill us, oh,
the cost is something enormous
Since everything has frOze up, so
many turn their toes up, and the
doctor bills are growing and yet it
keeps on showing, freezing, blowing
and every thing is tough and every
body'S had enough, since the climate
got so rough. Hit the weather
again, SOmebody.-"TheP Post Devil"
Waupaca Post.
Another exchange has the follow
ing to say about the weather:
When tie frost is on the window
and the kitchen pail is froze, when
the little icicleS come from every
breath that blows, when the chill
blains make us sick and faint and
cold feet give us pain, its safe to bet
that we all wish for the summer days
again. For while we sweat and fume
around in gauzy summer clothes, it's
easy enough to get cooled off, as
everybody knows. But it's different
in the winter time, for when the
world is full of ice, the weather is as
hard to beat as pair of loaded dice
We may talk about our climate, oul
winter and our fall, but the balmy
days of summer are the ones that
suit us all.

WINTER MEAT EATING
The Poor Stomach's Tale OF Woe Just Now
Mi.o.na Is Needed.

AT this season of the year thous-
ands of people are already showing
i'll symptoms that are sure TO result
from the usual winter diet. Indoor
life, meat-eating, hearty food, lack of
exercise, overwork, and poor ventila-
tion spell sickness" and poor health.
If the stomach cannot do its work
properly, ill health is sure to follow.
Mi-o-na is the one medicine that
assures a natural digestion, that
strengthens the stomach, that SoOthes
and heals all irritation, congestion,
and Inflammation in the stomach OF
bowels. 1t is this that makes it a
certain and guaranteed cure for all
stomach troubles.
If the digestion is impaired, the
blood is impoverished and becomes
filled with poisonous impurities,
deranging the whole system and
causing sickness and suffering.
Mi-o-na, acting upon the stomach and
digestive organs cures sleepleSSness,
nervous troubles, headaches, back
aches, and general weakness and
debility.
1 you are weak and ailing the
chances are that it is due to diseased
stomach, but you can be cured by U.s.
ing Mi-on-a. Ask John E. Daily, the
reliable druggist, to show you the
strong guarantee under which Mi-o-na
is sold. Mi-o-na costs but so cents a
box. If it does not help you, the
price is absolutely nothing.
Geo. w. Davis, county clerk, says
