When the Harper house phar-
macy states that they have a RENE
dy that only costs so cents and is
guaranteed to cure any man or wom-
man who suffers from food fermen-
tation, or money back what are the
poor stomach suffers in Rock Island
and vicinity going to do about it?
Food fermentation causes belch-
ing, sour stomach, gas eruction,
heartburn and that lump of lead
feeling as you probably know.
The name of this most remarkable
stomach prescription is MONA.
Most people call them MONA
stomach tablets because they know
there is no remedy so good for indi-
gestion or stomach disorders. Here
is one opinion:
81 have been troubled with indi-
gestion for more than a year. I.
bought one box of MONA and Il
cured me. Now 1 would not be with

Of American Sheet and Tin
Plate Co. Gives Out En-
couraging News Anent
Progress of Plant.

Superintendent Arthur Macarthur of
the American Sheet and Tin Plate COM
pany stated that the first unit of the
great plant to be erected In Gary will
be completed this year This is the
most encouraging news that has been
received from the subsidiary concerns
for some time.
The completion of the first unit OF
this plant will mean that the company
will start actual manufacturing of their
product before the end of this year,
which will give employment to a large
number of skilled laborers and largely
increase the payroll of the city. 1t also
assures the fact that the work of con-
structing the plant will be rushed just
as fast as human agency can rush It
This will mean also that large num-
Der of men will be employed on the site
at the outset in construction work
At the present the surveyors and en-
gineers are busy going over the site
adjacent to the Indiana Steel company
on the west AS soon as they can as
certain the locations for the various
buildings the work of grading will be
started Immediately. 1t is said that
they are practically ready to let the

The American Bridge company still
has large number of men employed

Ing and excavations preparing to begin

Gary Councilmen Adjourn
Session Posthaste Last
Night and Dissappoint
Spectators Who Gathered
in Chambers.

The shortest session in the history of
the Gary council and the shortest that
ever will be held. in all probability.
was the special meeting last night
called for the purpose of considering
the franchises for a street railway
south of the Calumet river
The minutes of the meeting were as
follows:
The mayor called the meeting to or
der and asked the clerk to read the roll
call. After the names of those present
had been ascertained, Councilman Cas-
tleman then moved that the meeting
be adjourned, which, upon being prop
erly seconded. was carried and the
meeting was declared adjourned
The reason for the especially short
session was because of the fact that the
franchise question had not yet been
settled by the committee which has the
matter under consideration and there
was nothing for the council to do.
City Attorney Harvey j. Curtiss is
now engaged in drawing up a model
franchise for the city which will be
and the Gary and Southern, and these
must be accepted before any franchise
is given at all. The terms of the city
will then be presented to those asking
for franchises that the matter may be
further argued by both sides.
The most amusing feature about the
sudden termination of the council meet
ing last night was the fact that there
were dozens of spectators, reporters
and other interested persons who had
waited in the council chambers for g
long time for the mayor to arrive from
Crown Point where the train had beer
delayed several hours. After this Ions
and restless wait they were greatly dis
appointed hen the meeting was called
to order and Immediately adjourned
but they appreciated the fact that thu
joke was on them.

COMPANY WILL MAKE
MANY CHANGES
Especial to THE TINES

East Chicago, March 3.-The Green
Engineering company is contemplating
the expenditure of $4,000 in improving
and 'enlarging its plant here. A great
many changes are to be made, a new
cupalo is to be constructed. the old one
to be rebuilt and a number of changes
are to be made in the building, to rem
der 1t more convenient. Travelling
cranes are to be installed and other
improvements of a similar nature made.
The Green Engineering company ex-
poets to begin work on these improve
ments in the near future, the plans for
which are already prepared. The com
pany is one of the most substantial Of
the local Industries and the fact that
the company is going to branch out and
do business on still larger scale is a
fact that meets with general favor
among business men here.
