Let Mrs. Griffith tell you about Mi
o-na, the greatest prescription for
stomach troubles ever written:
For years 1 have doctored for acute
gastritis, but only received slight
benefit, and had to be careful what
I ate. But, thanks to Mi-o-na stom-
ach tablets, I can now eat anything.
Last Christmas, after partaking of a
hearty turkey dinner, I was seized
with an attack of acute Indigestion,
and the doctor worked over me for
hours before I got relief. He paid me
eight visits before I could say I was
we'll enough to sit up. But since then
I have taken Mi-o-na tablets, and
have not been troubled since. Before
using Mi-o-na I had attacks about
every month.'-Mrs. Ida Griffith,

CITNZENS OF SPOKANE MAY
DECIDE FRANCHISE QUESTION

Spokane, Wash. Manufacturers.
shippers and merchants are circulat-
ing petitions urging the council to
authorize a special election, at which
the toters in Spokane will be asked
to go on record for or against the
granting of franchises by the city to
the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound and the North Coast railway
companies without terminal rate and
common user clauses. This, it is be-
lieved by many. will solve a problem
upon which the chief business inter-
ests and the newspapers are divided
in their opinions.
The city council denied the COM
panies' applications for franchises to
enter the city by a vote of nine to
one at its last meeting, the chief cause
assigned being that the officials re-
fused to bind themselves to grant
terminal rates on west-bound ship
ments to Spokane in the absence of
ruling by the interstate commerce
commission in the Spokane rate case.
The council insisted upon the same
rates that are being made to Pacific
coast points, instead of local ship
'pers paying for a haul Of more than
400 miles back to Spokane from the
coast, in addition to the terminal
rate.

Strike Means Immense Loss.
1T would be a greater strike than
that Of 1894, which cost the country
over 100000. 900" said Mr. Dicken-
SON "The money loss would be be-
yond estimation, but an idea might be
gained from the fact that the recent
switchmen's strike, on 13 northwest
ern railroads, cost for the 90 days
of its existence, more than $1,000
600"
1--WE want the public to under
stand that the responsibility for this
strike rests upon the railroads." said
Mr.. Carter. president of the Brother
hood of Firemen. "The railroads
have intimated right along that they
were willing to arbitrate and we were
trying to evade it. They have said
that the labor unions instigated the
enactment of the arbitration law and
were always trying to keep away from
it.
"On Sunday we told the managers
point blank that we were ready tc
arbitrate the whole matter and we
issued statement to the public tc
that effect. The answer was that they
were willing to arbitrate part Of the
controversy, but we must settle the
other part beforehand. Then, after
telling us that, they announced pub
licly that they are the ones who wan
to arbitrate and we are the ones whc
do not want to arbitrate. If part o.
labor controversy is arbitrable, VIII,
is not the other part?"
