eyes, dependency and nervousness.
now that YOU have been told Of the

Mi-o-na will strengthen all the

get from your food the nourshmcnt
that is needed to support the vital
forces and strengthen the nerve

The fact that Mi-o-na is sold under

most clearly and strongly the great
merit of this remedy.
Ask them to show you the guarantee

A horse belonging to the Augusta
Steam Laundry Co, and attached to a
delivery pung, made lively run on
Commercial and Water streets yester-
day forenoon. and although many
teams were on the latter street at the
time there were no serious cOnse-
quences connected with the runaway.
The horse became frightened by some
snow which was shovelled from one of
the roofs while he was standing ON
Commercial street, and started up
that thOroughfare at a rate which
could truthfully he called lively. ON
turning the corner on to Bridge street
he left the body Of the punE and the
rear runners and laid his course down
Water street with nothing but the
forward runners behind him. Before
he had gone far. however. the reinS
were tangled in the runners in such !;
way as to stop him and his run was
over.

A WISE CANINE.
The Story of Dog Owned by a
Journal Carrier Boy.

Master Will Townsend. the young son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Claude w. Townsend
Of this city. has Il dog that knows
some things that dogs i'll general do not
know. and among the things that he
knows is To take good care of anything
that is LETT IN his charge. Will, or
Billie" as the boys call him, is one
OF the Journal carriers and is also the
owner of the dog referred to above.
The Cog is about the average sized dog
as is seen about the streets, brown in
color and of an appearance which
would suggest the impression that
while his father may have been span-
el of some kind his mother probably
had no pride of ancestry and was most
likely just plain dog.
But that makes no difference in the
case Of Billie's dog. for he is one of the
brightest dogs on the avenue where he
makes his home. The dog follows his
master over the route every morning.
rain or shine, and has a good time in
the bargain. Billie'S route is not y
straight one, and he has to make many
side trips to considerable distance
from the main line, and as his list Of
subscribers is Il big one the papers
would be much heavier load if il We're
not for the dog He has the dog train
ed, however, to watch the papers. 50
that he can leave the animal on guard
of the bag and make his side trips
without taking the whole lot.
That the dog does his work well was
noticed not long since, when he sat on
the bag of papers which had been left
on the library steps, and was waiting
his masters return from trip down
to Winthrop court. A man came along
AMI seeing the papers made overturc''
to the dog to get off the bag until II"
could borrow IL Journal to read, but i
WAS of no use. and finally when tn"
man resolved to resort to force thcr.
was IL demonstration on the part OF the
dog that caused the man to Vacatc Will
more speed than dignity, after which
the dog returned to his post OF duty
where he remained until his master
came.

cordial relations.
Inspectors will be sent to all points
in Louisiana where fever existed TO
fumigate and sanitate before warm
days set in.
Competent men will be stationed at
all possible fever inlets. There shall
be no Conccalment. Should any spo-
radio cases pop up drastic measures
will be adopted to stamp them out,
health boards and officers being noti-
fed of their existence.
Governor Blanchard assured the new
board it should not be hampcred for
want of funds.
The personnel of the new board is
as follows: DR.. Clifford II. Irion, Ben

preventing the possible spread, should
such cases appear. 1t is not certain
that they will, but 1t Is the aim OF the
new board to be prepared in case they
should.
Governor Blanchard declared the
board should not be hampered in the
matter Of funds. All the money re-
