THE RIVERS AND
HARBORS CONGRESS
MET IN WASHINGTON TODAY,
WITH MANY DELEGATES PRES
ENT-lMPoRTANT MEETING.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, Dec. G.-That the com
mercial, agricultural, manufacturing
and the consuming and producing ele-
ments of all sections of the United
States have at last been aroused to the
necessity of demanding that a larger
proportion of the revenues of the gen
eral government be devoted to the
improvement of rivers and harbors
was evidenced by the large and repre-
sentative attendance today at the
opening of the third annual session of
the National Rivers and Harbors con
gress.
Numerically the gathering is the
largest ever held in this country in
the interest Of waterway and harbor
improvements. Its personnel also is
such as to give great weight to its ex-
pressed opinions Hundreds of bust
ness men are present as the represen-
tatives of commercial bodies, river
Improvement associations. maritime
exchanges. chambers of commerce and
other organized bodies in many parts
Of the country. The Pacific coast has
displayed an equal interest with the
Mississippi valley commonwealth and
the States bordering the gulf and the
Atlantic by sending large sized dele
cations to the conference.
The initial session today was taken
up largely with the necessary prelim-
inaries. AS soon as these were dis
posed OF the congress entered upon its
real business. The sessions are to
continue over tomorrow. 1t is not
the purpose of the congress to work
for any particular appropriation or to
urge the Improvement of any special
stream, but to discuss the matter in |
its general aspects. and to urge upon |
congress the appropriation of at least |
S50,OOO,OOO annually for the improve
ment of the rivers and harbors of the |
country. The average appropriations |
for the past ten years has been less
than s2OOOO.OOO, and the condition of
the waterways of the country shows
this to have been ridiculously made
quate. The effort before congress will
be to have the rivers and harbors bill
upon a plane with other government
and commensurate in
size to its bearing upon the economic
and commercial welfare of the nation

OUT OF SORTS.
Don't starve or Diet, but Use Mi-o-na,
and Cure Your Stomach Troubles.

The average treatment of stomach
troubles consists Of a rigid diet list,
which often half starves the patient.
OF course it would be foolish for any
one who knows that some foods are
positively harmful and poisonous to
continue eating them, even while fol-
lowing the Mi-o-na treatment, but in
ordinary cases of stomach troubles it
is not necessary to starve or diet if
Mi-o-na is faithfully used, a tablet
before each meal.
This scientific remedy for the cure
of stomach troubles, acts upon the
whole digestive system, and strength
ems the organs so that they are able
to digest any food that is eaten with
out fear of distress. II you suffer
from loss of appetite. belching of
gases. sour taste in the mouth, fur
red tongue, severe pains in the re-
gion of the stomach, depression of
spirits, bad dreams, lack of energy,
headaches, back aches, loss of
strength and weight, you can be as
sured that these troubles are all due
to imperfect digestion.
Strengthen the stomach by taking
a Mona tablet before each meal,
and soon you will gain in weight,
strength will return, and your food
viii give nOurishment so that the
rich red blood will carry good health
to every part of the system.
Bratton Drug Co. have so much con-
fdence in the power of Mona to cure
stomach troubles and resulting ills,
that they give a guarantee with every
so cent box to refund the money I'M
less it cures.
