NOTABLE MEDICAL DISCOVERY.
Of Special Value to Many Her
in Barton.

One of the most notable discoveries,
one that undoubtedly appeals mora
than anything else to many people
here in Barton is the combination of
stomach remedies in the Mi-o-na
treatment. This prescription has
worked wonders, and there is no ex-
cuse for anyone suffering with indi-
gestion or weak stomach.
1t acts specifically upon the muscles
of the stomach and bowels, strength
enipg and stimulating them so that
they readily take care of the food
that is eaten. It also increases the
flow OF gastric juices, thus getting
from the food the nourishment that
is necessary for health and energy.
The symptoms of indigestion are
numerous, such as distress after eat
ing, f4tulence, heartburn, sick head
aches, dizzin and irritability
These are all dispelled by few doses
of Mi-o-na when the trouble is re-
cent, but just as surely in long stand
ing and chronic cases if the treatment
is followed for reasonable length O.
time.
So positive are the good effects fol-
lowing the use of Mi-o ma that the
remedy is sold by Fred D. Pierce un-
der an absolute guarantee to refund
the mon " if it should fail to cure.

OBSTINATE" VERSUS BID.
Curious and Instructive Experience of
Ashland, Wis.

Sattehs &bo tHSkFhS&ts0 G&PcFtcuCo OF
Ashland, Wis.
Last January Ashland. Wis. voted In
favor of installing municipal cleo
trio light plant. Votes were secured
on the basis OF an estimate" that the
complete plant would cost $50, 600 this
estimate" being made by Professor
W. C. Kirchoffer of the University Of
Wisconsin. who the lighting committee
stated had been employed by over for
ty cities of Wisconsin as a consulting
engineer This committee thus con-
tinued its report:
AFTER thoroughly going over the es-
Inmates the committee can state that
the outside cost of this entire PROPOSE
ton. including everything. will be $780,
600, divided as follows: Concrete and
earth dam. spillway and power house.
$18.S5Q; turbines and electrical ma
chinery at power house. $15,430; cleo
trio transmission line. $4.330: substa-
ton building and equipment. $500;
arc lighting system. $S.075: incandes-
cent lighting system. $15,6S0' land
necessary for dam and fiowage rights.
$500; engineering plans. superintend-
ence. incfdentals. $3,735; total. $4,000
I'm every case these figures repre-
sent the highest possible cost for the
work. as It has been the intention OF
this committee to let the people OF
Ashland understand whatever estimate
is made that. in fact. the actual cost
will be under rather than above"
Before the election the mayor pub
lished letter from lone of the con.
Germs the committee has been In touch
with" (name withheld agreeing to
erect complete plant for $4,000. to
be In operation on or before the LIST OF
July. This has not been mentioned by

advertised for bids the only bid re-

not include transformers, meters or
