DO NOT BE A BURDEN.

1t is a sin to deprive oneself OF en-
joyment in life and become a burden
to others through indigestion.
The backaches, headaches distress
after eating, loss OF appetite, gulping
up OF undigested food, etc. 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 with
out fear of distress or resulting sick
ness.

In the merits Of Mi-o-na that they sell

MARGARET HOPKINS
GIVEN DIVORCE
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


DETROIT. Jan. s.-Mrs. Margaret
Mills Hopkins was granted a divorce
today from Walter ]. Hopkins, and in
addition to the divorce was given the
custody of their 10-year-oId boy. The
divorce was granted on the grounds of
habituaI drunkenness.
The Hopkins divorce case had SO
many pathetic features that the public
seemed to have lost its appetite for
scandal in its pity for the man and
sorrow for the woman. Hardly had the
words of the marriage VOW crossed his
lips before the husband went on a
spree, and, according to his wife, that
spree lasted almost continuously since.
Because of both Walter Hopkins and
his wifes money. millions of it, the
whisky could not rob them of the ne
cessities of life, but it did rob them of
happiness.
A few years ago relative Of Hop
kins offered him $4,000 if he would
keep sober for certain period. The
young man won the money, but no
sooner received it than he started to
spend it for drink. and it was gone in a
few months.

RAILWAY ATTACKS
STATES RIGHT

ST. PAUL Jan. Assignments were
begun today in the injunction proceed
ings brought against the Great North
ern Railroad to prevent the proposed
issue of ssO.O00.OOO additional stock.
Counsel for the railroad argued that
the State could not prevent the issue.
because the railroad had the right uA-
der the original charter Of the Mime
apolis and St. Cloud Railway. to make
it. They claimed further. that at the
time one of the previous issues was
made an opinion had been given by
the Attorney General that it conformed
with the State law.
Attorney General Young. speaking
for the State. said the right of the
commonwealth to give authority for
the stock issue went to the vitals of
the situation in respect to the protec-
tion which the State wishes to grant
the people. The defendant had issued

Lukesh was tried before a court
