Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explains
why . remedy that acts ON the blood
can cure nervous troubles.
It explains why DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
It is because Of the intimate relation
between tho red corpuscles in the blood
and the health Of tho nerves. The
nervous system receives its nourishment
through tho blood. Let the blood be-
como thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are starved-the victim 10 started

pallor comes first. Enrich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated aud toned

Let us tell you how you can enjoy
good dinner, SO that the heartiest meal
will set well upon your stomach and
cause no unpleasant and disagreeabIe
after effects.
We will show you how to regain the
appetite of your childhood aud the en-
joyment of food, so that it will taste
as we'll as when mother cooked the
dinner.
There is no hard work necessary to
do this; no need of rigid and self
denying diet list; no call f0r'nasty and
disagreeable medicines. Simply take
a Mi-O-na stomach tablet before each
meal and before going to bed, and it
will so strengthen the stomach that
before long a hearty meal will give
you qualification and comfort, without
the least fear of distress and suffering.
The strongest proof we can offer of
our faith in this ADVICE, is the fact that
DOdsOns Drug Store gives an absolute,
unqualified guarantee applying to two
SOC boxes of Mi-O-na) that your money
will be refunded unless Mi-O-na cures.
A guarantee like this gives you conf
dence in Mi-o-na. They take the whole

PLANS SUBMITTED TO COUNCIL
Relative to Electric Lighting and
Street Railway.

The Times Recorder yesterday morn
ing covered fully the proceedings of
the city council Friday night relative
to the light propositions now under
consideration, and some definite con-
clusion may be reached at the next
meeting of that body Thursday
Two propositions for city lighting
and pumping water now have the con-
sideratiOn of the council.
The first of these, as stated, is made
by Mr.. Joseph Roman and his assOci-
ates, which includes the building of an
entirely new power plant, equipped
with new and modern machinery.
Their proposition as to street light
ing, cost of light to the public, pumping
the city's water supply by electricity,
and the construction of an electric rail
way line in Americas, has been set
forth at length and our citizens gener-
| rally are quite familiar herewith.
Mr.. Roman has been Joined here by
one of his associates, Mr.. Henry $.
Sohn, a wealthy manufacturer of New
York City, who will be interested with
him in the enterprise should his prop
ositiOn be accepted by the council.
Another proposition under consider
| alton is that submitted by Leroy DAY.
idson Il Co., of New York, made
| through Mr.. w. A. DodsOn, as stated.
This proposition, too, is said to be
a very favorable one, providing for
pumping of water, city lighting and
the construction of an electric street
railway. In this proposition the util-
ties here already are taken in consider
alton as far as can be utilized.
The city council on Friday night
heard at length from representatives OF
both contracts, and may arrive at de-
cision at Thursdays meeting.

COMMITTEE TO MEET TUESDAY
College Site Matter to be D sposed
OF Then.

Chairman j. II. Daniel, of the college
executive committee of the Third dis
trict, has called another Injecting of his
committee in Americas on Tuesday
next Sth, for the further consideration
of the site to be purchased for the agri-
cultural college to be located here.
And belief is fully expressed that
favorable action will be taken by the
committee at this session.
Twice already the executive commit
tee has assembled here for the purpose
of locating the college, but in each in
stance the lands then at the disposal of
the local committee were rejected.
Within the past week, however, the
local committee has had put at its dis
posal two farms, either of which is fine
ly adapted to the purposes required,
and there is a feeling of confidence here
that the executive board will quickly
reach conclusion.
The Sieg lands out Lee street will be
rendered, it is said, as will also the Ry-
lander farm beyond the Seabord shops,
| together with other lands fronting on
| Fielder street, making a most desirable
site
Both sites have city water and sew
erage already near at hand.
| 1t is but just to the local committee
to say that members have been most
| assiduOus in their efforts to present tC
the executive com nittee an acceptable
site, but were handicapped heretofore
by the prices placed upon certain sites
desired.
This condition no longer exists, and
the question of site will doubtless be
determined fully at the meeting OF
Tuesday. 1t is understood that Gov
Terrell is anxious that the matter bt
closed up and the state rendered the
deeds for the lands necessary.
Citizens of Americas do not appre
bend any further delay upol this score
