Innocent Indulgence Often
Brings Trouble - Bow
ditch e. Webster and
Percy W. Means Offer
Means Of Escape.

The consequences Of violating ply
Sical laws are often as unpleasant as
the breaking of moral rule. The in
nocent Indulgence of over-eating
brings consequences that amount to
real suffering. Indigestion is not
natural: it is not right; it should not
be. Bowdtch & Webster and Percy
W. Means offer Il means of escape in
Mi-o-na tablets that is simple and
pra actical.
These simple tablets are composed
of such valuable medicinal agents as
bismuth subgallate which is super

ach troubles. cerium oxalate. and ton
les and correctives which promote the
action of the digestive organs
strengthen the whole digestive tract
and make it possible to eat what you
like and when you like.
Ask Bowditch & Webster and Percy

under which they sell Mi-o-na. 1t

A question which is yet matter of
n great deal of speculation in Capitol
circles and others as well, is that of
who will be the next State librarian.
and when the nomination will be made
by the Governor. 1t is now several
months since the vacancy in the office
occurred, and although there are Il
number of candidates who have an
nounccd their Willingness and 4 desire
to accept the place. the name of the one
who will eventually be chosen tor the
office is as much of 4 mystery as it has
been from the first.
The appointment of librarian has
been looked for ut each succeeding
meeting Of the Governor and Council
since the vacancy occurred, but the
meetings have come and gone and no.
thing has been done. and the situation

growing feeling in official circles. al
though the reason therefor cannot be
given. that the appointment will soon

made ut the next meeting of the

g.
for the feeling cannot be given, there
are in existence theories as to the cause
Of the delay of the appointment. one of
them being as follows. The term of Of
flee of the librarian of the State of
Maine is. according to Section 80 OF
Chapter of the Revised Statutes. three
years. and had the appointment been
made by Governor Cobb it would be-
come one of the first duties of the in
coming Governor who may succeed him
at the end of his second term. to make
an appointment of 4 librarian. which
would come in the midst of the con-
fusion attendant upon the cOnvening

pointment is made at the coming meet

there is a certain amount of expecta-

ANOTHER LINK FOR

Gull Lake and the Willow River Diversion Plan Aids
the Upper Mississippi System.

Another important link in the sys-
tenn of upper, Mississippi reservoirs is
projected. A movement is on foot to
revive the plan of making reservoir
at Gull lake, northwest of Brainerd,
which would be near enough the twin
cities and the power dams here and
above. to be Of great assistance in
regulating the flow.
The plan also calls for diversion of
the water Of Willow river, which
empties into the Mississippi short
distance above Aitkin and is noe Of the
principal causes of the floods that have
submerged low lands about that place.
The Willow empties below Sandy lake,
now the farthest down stream of all
the reservoirs, and so at present there
is no way to control it's flow The
proposed plan would divert the head
waters of the Willow thru chain Of
lakes to Pelican river, where a daln
would force them by another channel
into Pelican lake, and thence into Gull
lake. 49, A dam at the outlet of Gull
lake would regulate the flow, and at u
small cost it could be made to contain
5000, 900 cubic feet, available for
swelling the flow Of the river during a
