EASY way TO strengthen Ii ana Get
Well.
A good digestive system, one that
acts so that you do not know you
have a stomach, is Gods birthright
to every man-to every woman.
If digestion is weak, if food turns
into gas, if you suffer after eating,
if you are sleepless, nervous, out of
sorts-then the stomach is diseased,
and prompt action should be taken
W. A. Ennis, a well-known builder
in Syracuse, tells an easy way to
strengthen the stomach and get we'll
when he writes: "Mi-o-na Stomach
Tablets have done more for me in one
wees than all the doctors the two
years was under their care. Thanks
to Mi-o-na, l can work once more,

1t is an easy thing to strengthen
the stomach and cure indigestion by

Ordinance Putting a Heavy Tax on
Malt Beverages Introduced at
Special Session of Council.

1t is not improbable that the soft
drink dealers of Dawson will have
to cut out the near beer" products
that have become so popular, and
have a large sale.
The prohibitionists have taken up
the cudgel against them, and spe
cial session of the council was held
Thursday afternoon to consider the
question of putting heavy tax on
these drinks, or prohibiting their sale
entirely.
An ordinance was introduced plac-
ing a special tax of $3.50 On all drinks
dispensed at soda founts or elsewhere
that contain more than one-half of
one per cent of alcohol, but it was
not adopted. and went over until the
next meeting of the council on the
first Tuesday in May.
The News understands that when
the council takes up the matter again
tax of $500 may be imposed.

As the date for holding the Re-

alignment indicates the results. In
New Castle county, the first district,
it is now almost a certainty that
Governor Lea and Senator H. A. du
Pont will be chosen from there.
From Kent county, the second dis
trict, Senator Harry A. Richardson
is conceded as one of the delegates,
with DR.. George w. Marshall and
ex-senator J. Frank Alice contesting
for the second. Chances favor the
election Ct DR.. Marshall by reason
of the fact shat he is working with
the organization. In Sussex county
the Congressman, DR.. Hiram R.
Burton, is to be one of the two dele
gates, and as yet the crystalization
Of public sentiment has not been
formed to accurately predict the
other member. 1t now looks as if |
DR.. Caleb R. Layton would be the
sixth and last man of Delaware's |
delegation. This may not be the
