Wait for
Hunger
Good Advice from L. p. Var
Werden as to How to Create an
Appetite.

Any physician will tell you that it is
unwise to eat unless one is really
hungry. 1t is far better to miss a
meal than to eat without appetite.
But do not take tonic, stimulant, or
appetizer to make you hungry. L. P.
Van Werden says that the best way to
create an appetite is to restore the di-
gestion to health by the use of Mi-o-na
stomach tablets, reliable remedy that
he has sold with the best of satisfaction.
WheniMi-o-na is used, the irritation
and inflammation of the stomach
coating will be soothcd, the gastric
follicles will be strengthened SO that
they will pour out the natural digestive
fluids with regularity, and the food you
eat will be perfectly digested without
distress.
A large box of Mi-o-na stomach
tablets is sold for so cents by L. P.
Van Werden, iand it is so successful
and reliable in curing indigestion and
other stomach troubles, with the ex-
ccption of cancer of the stomach, that
he sells it under guarantee that the
money will be refunded unless it does
all that is claimed for it.

THE CHUTEs.
Chicago's Famous Water Park Fur
nishes New Sensations.

No more wonderful pleasure resort
exists than Chicago's famous water
park, 'The Chutes.'
Its fame is international. This sea-
son it offers two sensations which have
set the big city agog. One is "Elter,' -
the Beautiful Mystery of the Lake, /"
and the other King Humboldt Royal

Pozzi. The "Banda Italiana Abruzzi''
is an organization of forty skilled mu-
sicians, which created furore in Eu-

delight the Chutes' patrons this summer.

woman, energies from the depths of the
lake and disappears beneath it's waves
like tabled nymph. Her marvellous
feat amazes and mystifes.
"Shooting the Chutes' over the
biggest artificial cascades in the world
is the favorite pastime of Chicago.
Shouting and laughing throngs descend
the glistening cascades with the speed
OF the wind until their gay gondolas
splash in the lake and glide swiftly
forward on foam-crested waves to a
placid harbor.

While Pozzi's big band fills the park
with majestic strains, delighted cele-
brants are whirled through mid-air at
marvellous speed; phantom cars flash
across the horizon laden with gaily at
tired children and young women; mists
OF opalescent spray cool the beautiful
park; its blue lake glistens and scin-
tillates under the glorious sun and

Washington, Feb. 24.-Preceded by
a debate which indicated no hesitancy
but rather a relish in taking action
against alleged railroad combinations,
the house agreed yesterday to the
Tillman-G illispie resolution directing
the interstate commerce commission
to make an immediate inquiry and re-
port regarding alleged restraints OF
trade on the part of certain railways
regarding the handling of coal and
merchandise. The resolution is not
in the form 1t passed the senate and
will go back to the senate for second
action. The debate occupied an hour
and consisted of a succession of
speeches in denunciation of alleged re-
straining practices. Mr.. Grosvenor of
Ohio supported it as a ''rebuke to the
recent puerile report which had been
made by certain railway official"
The house devoted the remainder of
the day to minor matters and passed
several bills, among which was the
famous Mussel Shoals dam bill.

ST. Petersburg, Feb. %. Most
alarming views with reference to the
relations between Germany and
France prevail in certain diplomatic
quarters where the situation is con-
sidered to be extremely tense and a
conflict by no means unlikely.
The ambassador of one OF the big
European powers told the Associated
Press yesterday that war, in his opin-
ion, was inevitable, and had in fact,
already been decided upon.
at is sad" added the diplomat, who
is not ranked among the admirers OF
Emperor William, that for the whims
of one man, Europe must be plunged
into the horrors of war"
At the French embassy opinion as
to the situation is frankly pessimistic,
and the outlook at present is regarded
as extremely serious, the views being
that there is no telling what may be
in store, if the conference
Should Break of
and France and Germany be left face
to face In incorporating opposition.
The abandonment of the French posi-
tion is regarded as impossible. En-
peror Williams toast at the banquet
in Berlin yesterday with it's direct al
fusion to the possibility of war is
quoted with apprehension. The pes
simism, however, is not general, and
German circles present manifestly
less alarm and affect to believe that
war is out of the question. The en-
peror's words are regarded in these
German circles as merely natural
phrases applicable to his military
functions.
Russian officials personally take a
gloomy view of the outlook, especial
ly of the prospects of securing new
loan abroad, but the foreign Office is
officially on record as trusting that
the dispute ultimately will work out
satisfactorily.
