Excellent Results Are Obtained
From Use New Product.
Doctors Failed to Alleviate His
Suffering.
SYMPTOMS VANISH ED
After Using New Discovery Two
Days Felt Much Improved.
Encouragement Gives Way to
Hope and Happiness.

''You can say that feel like man
that has been born over again." said
F. E. Scudder of SSS North Topeka
avenue, but who is we'll known in
Wichita, in discussing the effect 'Tona
Vita" has produced in his case. Con-
tinuing Mr.. Scudder said: II have been
in tired all run down condition for
the past year. 1 had constipation,
could not slep or eat and felt very weak
most of the time. At times would be
very respondent and discouraged and
thought that life was not worth living.
'1 doctored with several doctors be-
sides taking a number Of different rem
edies, but neither did me any good
After hearing of iona Vita and the
good that it was doing I thought per-
haps it would do me some good After
the second day 1 began to feel a great
deal better. I am now feeling as well
as ever did and can do my work with
out feeling played out when night
comes. I gladly recommend this prepa-
ration to all suffering people"
Mr.. Scudder was a victim of nervous
debility said one of the specialists
who are introducing 'Tona Vita" His
case was an ordinary one" continued
the specialist, but he did not know
the nature of his trouble and did not
have the right remedy until he procur-
ed 'Tona Vita
we are meeting many callers who
complain of nervousness, stomach
trouble, bowel trouble, headaches,
backaches, constipation, poor circuIa-
ton, cold feet. imperfect digestion, spots
before the eyes, timidity, listlessness
sleeplessness and depression, all of
which are certain indications that they
are suffering with debility.
Many people who feel worn out half
sick and depressed all the time, but
who in reality do not know what is
really the matter with them, are I'M
questionably victims of nervous debiI-
ity- 1t is an all too common COM
plant in every city and may be found
existing in any family here.
Our preparation, 'Tona Vita is an
instant and permanent relief in such
cases. A fair test is only required to
convince anyone Of its unequaled value
as a remedy"
The "Tona Vita specialists are at
the Arnold Drug Company's store, No.
5ZS Kansas Avenue, between the hours
OF a. m. and p. m, to meet the pub

remarkable new tonic.

ROW over PARK
Amusement Question Raises
Old Quarrel at City Hall.
Three Favor Them and Two
Oppose Move.

Once more the opposing factions in
the board of city commissioners have
dug into the ground after the same
bone. The Little Two" and the big
Three have declared war over the
proposition to place amusements in
the City park adjoining the Kansas
river at the Melan bridge.
The mayor, Stotts and Miller believe
that a portion of the park should be
used for amusements and they favor
letting a contract to an amusement
firm. Commissioners Bone and Tandy
are up in arms against the action.
They declare that it will result in the
ruin of the real pleasure and enjoy
ment of an open air summer resting
place.
Think of putting peanut stands and
ry-go-rounds IN our parks!'' shifted
Commissioner Bone.
Commissioner Stotts represents the
majority. There is a lot of waste
space-really at one time a dumping
ground-in this park. We are filling
this in and identifying the entire park.
A few amusements will bring people
here. I am in favor of IT.
The matter will be voted on at the
next meeting of the city commission
ers. The officials want to hear what
the people have to say about it.

CIRCULAR BALLOT.
Chicago Man Has Devised Plan for
Saving Much Trouble.

Chicago, March 26.-Edmund H
Roche, former city purchasing agent
has devised a ballot for primary cleo
tions which provides for a circular ar
rangement of names.
1t is claimed for the new ballot
which has met with considerable ia
vor from election officials that it will
do away with the cumbersome, long
sheet, and also put an end to. the
quibbling for position.
AS now made up the Democratic
primary ballot contains 407 names
and is seven feet long.
The Roche plan would have the
title of the office printed in the hub
Of a circle with the names of aspir-
ants for the nomination diverging
from it as the spokes of a wheel There
are thirty-two circles on the sheet,
providing for all offices.
The ballot is printed on a sheet
two feet square. It is argued that it
would do away with the rush in filing
petitions and also make court fights
for positions unnecessary.
