Chris Won der Ahe,s Query.

Chris Won der Abe, with little or no
knowledge OF the fine points OF the

business trying TO steal bases. He was
constantly after his eccentric second
baseman, until he lost patience, finally
calling him to account for any break
he made on the field
One day the Louisvilles were playing
In ST. Louis and with two men on bases

'Tis well known that no conductor cares

FOUND TRUE REMEDY.
Dawson Drug Co. Sure Mi-O-na Will
Cure Indigestion.


The incalculable amount of good
that Mona stomach tablets are do
ing in Dawson in making sick and
even despairing, people well should
compel the attention of every judi
cious person who is out of health
with stomach troubles.
The underlying cause of nervous
debility, headaches, sleeplessness and
melancholy is faulty nutrition, the
result of a weakened stomach and
inactive bowels.
So long as the stomach is weak
the tissues cannot assimilate proper
nourishment, no matter how much
food is eaten. Mi-o-na increases the
strength and activity of the muscular
walls of the stomach, regulates the
bowels and makes the blood capable
of conveying nutriment to all the
vital organs.
The use of Mi-o-na stomach tab
lets makes all the difference betW cen
a tired, nervous, sluggish condition,
weakened stomach, and healthy
energetic bodily condition.
In no other way can you so quick
ly, so readily and so positively slim
ulate the stomach to good health as
by using Mona. The fact that this
remedy is sold by the Dawson Drug
Co. and Peoples Drug Store under
a guarantee to refund the money I'M
less it cures shows conclusively its
superiority over ordinary, old-tash-
toned digestives.

KNOCKS THE PANAMA CANAL
FORMER ENGINEER SAYS III
WILL BE A FAILURE.
Will Not Help the Trade of the
United States, and Will Not
Meet Expenses.


John F. Stevens, a vice president
Of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Company and former chief
engineer of the Panama canal, has
issued a statement regarding the lat
ter enterprise in which he prophesies
a failure of the undertaking
Mr.. Stevens says that the canal
will not help the United States In
it's trade with South America, as
practically all of the inhabitants OF
the southern continent are on the
east of the Andes Mr. Stevens also
saws that our commercial returns
with the islands of the Pacific and
the Far East the canal will be OF
little value. Our coal and wheat cen
tiers are inland Their products nave
to be started on the way by rail.
When once loaded on cars it would
be cheaper to ship to the Atlantlc
and then ship to the east by the
wav of the canal than it would be
to send directly to the ports on our
Pacific coast and then get on board
ship. Furthermore, Mr.. Stevens be-
lieves that our coal supply is fast
diminishing, and that China will be
the source of future coal supply.
Siberia, he says, will be the wheat
country of the future, with India a
close second.
Mr.. Stevens maintains that the
Panama canal will not meet eXpen-
ses and it will cost more than IS ex-
pected. 1t will be an advantage to
European countries, and not to us.
The date of the finishing of the canal
he fixes as January, 1915.
The idea of the canal being OF
great value to us in times Of warfare,
since our naval forces can be quickly
sent from one coast to the other,
he says is absurd. 1t would take
DAYS for the ships to get around and
during that time hostile shells could
have done their work.

The fight against consumption is be-
coming a national problem.
Everywhere we hear of sanitariums
established at the expense of the state
for the treatment of the vast army of
cOnSumptlVes.
The open air treatment, fresh air and
sunlight, are recognized by the medical
profession generally as being the great
est necessities in the treatment of con-
sumption in all its stages.
DIR. Hartman has for many years ad.
vocated the fresh air treatment for con-
e,,yoDtiop Az the Sama tima he has
recognized Peruna as a useful pallia-
tive for the many distressing symptoms
which accompany the white plague.
The promptness with which Peruna
relieves fresh cold, and even removes
chronic colds, is well-known. This
ranks Peruna as reliable prophylactic
against consumption.

THE FAITHFUL NEGROES.
Can Those Injured in Confederate
Service Receive State Pensions?

Can Those Injured in Confederate
Service Receive State Pensions?
What provision has the state made
for rewarding the faithful negroes,
who, though not regularly enlisted,
suffered injuries while with the
troops of the south during the civil
war?
This query was raised at the capt.
toll Tuesday by letter from }. {.
Chipley of Loyett, Ga, to Secretary
of State Phil Cook. Mr.. Chipley
states that there is living in his COM
munity an aged negro who is unable
to earn a living because of hurts re-
ceived while helping to build the con-
federate Notifications around At
lanta in 1864. He says that the man
was hit by a cannon from one of
the enemies batteries and has been
more or less disabled ever since, and
is now helpless. He wants to know
if there is any way for the man to
obtain aid from the state.
The pension laws of Georgia make
no distinction between the races, but
requires that the benef1ciaries shall
have served at least six months in
the confederate army, or that their
husband should have done so. They |
must have been regularly enlisted, |
and carried on the muster rolls |
also. Several negroes are drawing |
pensions from the state, but in each |
case the benefciaries were enlisted |
men, having been placed in the ranks |
by their owners, whom they accom-
panied to the front, when to carry |
guns were needed much worse than
servants.
