DO NOT Be A BURDEN.
Dodson's Pharmacy Gives Some Good
Advice to Readers of the
Times-Recorder.

A weak stomach and its resulting ills
are not natural. With proper care and
the use of Mi-o-na stomach tablets, the
very worst case of indigestion or stom-
ach trouble can be completely cured.
1t is a sin to deprive oneself of enjoy
ment in life and become a burden to
others through Indigestion.
The bachaches, headaches, distress
after eating, loss of appetite, gulping
up of undigested food and gases are not
natural. MI-o-na stomach tablets used
for a few days before meals will SO
strengthen the digestive organs that
you can eat anything you want without
fear OF distress or resulting sickness.
The directions for taking Milo ma en-
phasize the difference between this
remedy and the ordinary medicine that
is given for indigestion. Mi-o-na is to
be used before meals, Strengthening the
digestive system for the food which is
| to be eaten, while the ordinary remedy
is taken after meals, and simply di-
gests the food without strengthening
the stomach.
Dodson's Pharmacy has so much faith
in the merit of Mi-o-na that they sell it
under a guarantee to refund the money,
in case it does not cure. A 50-cent box
. of Mi-o-na will do more real good than
dozen packages of the ordinary rem
edies sold for indigestion. Then, too,
it costs nothing unless it cures.

NOT READY TO MAKE

People May Be Educate d in
Due Time.
SUSPECT OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
Serious PueStion confronts tha Peo-
pie. Who In Time VIII Appreciate
the Great Necessities OF Eaunlci
ipai wnership.
c MMUNICATION

The result of the recent municipal
election clearly reflects the fact that
the people are not yet ready for Muni-
cipal ownership of those public utilities
indispensable to the convenience and
growth of the city.
However, the fact remains, and
forms the basis of serious question
which will continue to confront our
people, that with the development and
expansion of the city, such utilities es-
sentially become a subject of munich
pal ownership, because of the fact that
private corporations, either cannot, or
will not, provide such convenience un-
der conditions of satisfactory and ade-
quate service, and at reasonable price.
This assertion, though broad, is not
mere utterance of the Imagination,
but rests upon the experience of va
riOus other cities where private owner
ship has proven utterly incompatible
with the public welfare, and it is con-
fidently believed that conditions pre-
vailing here in our midst will ere long
convince the people of their error,
The question of municipal ownership,
although regarded and treated by many
cities as necessity in these modern
times, is, with the people generelly, a
new one, and prudent people are slow
to accept new methods.
TO my mind, the proposition with us
is not defeated, but only postponed,
and, like the Ghost of Banquo, will
again appear.
The people will realize that although
Americas is twice as large in popula-
ton as when her utilities were first
installed, there is an utter absence of
a prOportionate reduction in cost to the
consumer, as well as failure to supply
additional conVeniences so much need
ed. 1t is not material nor worthwhile
to pause to inquire whether private
ownership shall be censured for this
condition. 1t is sufficient to say that
its solution will be found in municipal
ownership.
Let us not, therefore, be discouraged,
for we know that two hundred and
forty voters expressed their opinion by
ballot, and we believe that this is leav-
en- enough to eventually leaven the
whole.
Let us not forget that legislation ere
ating a board of education and author
ling the establishment of public
schools was passed nearly ten years
before its promoters succeeded in elect
ing a Mayor and City Council who
would levy the necessary tax for its
support; that four elections for water
works bonds were held before they
were successful; and that it required
two elections to educate the people to
the absolute necessity ofsewerage.
1t can, therefore, be clearly forecast
that the majority must sooner or later
realize the unsatisfactory conditions
which now prevail, and will join in an
aggressive and determined effort to
place the ownership of these utilities
in the hands of the people, in order
that they may be operated and con-
trolled with an eye single to good SER
vice, at a minimum cost. CITIZEN.

HOLDERS ARE ACCEPTING PRICE
Hundreds of Bales Sold in Ameri-
Gus Saturday.

While the prediction of fifteen cents
cotton after the holidays may be real
lied, it is true that many farmers here
are letting go the staple at l04 cents.
This was the price in Americas yester-
day and it seemed good to the man
who had worked since January LIST to
make the bales. Americas warehouses
received 743 bales yesterday, all wagon
cotton. and probably half of it was sold
at ten cents or better. That the crop
generally is a poor one is fact star
ing the cotton world in the face, and it
would not be at all surprising if the
market scared to twelve, fifteen or
even seventeen cents ere another crop
is made. An Americas cotton man, in
New York recently, says the feeling
there is one eff greatest apprehension,
and even now fifteen cents for cotton is
considered among the possibilities.
