THERE is a bare possibility of al

THERE is a bare possibility of an
extra session of the legislature be-
ing called to consider the Sunday
closing law; also the water power
question. Owners of waterpOwers
who have recently been in Madison
have been quietly comforting with
public officials there as to how Gov.
Phillip would consider a request
that the special session be called to
make some slight changes in the
waterpower law. The waterpower
men claim three large waterpower
projects in Wisconsin are being
absolutely halted because of one or
two clauses in the present water
power law and say they can show
the legislature that if these clauses
we're slightly amended money could
be obtained for the projects in ques-
ton. 1t is said the waterpOwer
men have not gone directly to Gov.
Philip but have sounded men close
to the governor as to how the exec
utive would likely receive such a
proposition.
It is further said the changes in
the law are not so material as they
might be and that they are asked
merely because eastern bankers
claim to be fearful that they are
not absolutely secured against
depreciation of securities under the
terms of the present legislation.
Both the Sunday closing question
and the waterpOwer question would
probably be included in the call, if
a special session is forthcoming; but
there will be no extra meeting sum
moned on the waterpower question
alone, and the possibilities of a
special session rest entirely upon
the situation which may grow out
of the Sunday closing muddle. 1t
is more propable, if the meeting is
called, that there will be minor sub
iects included in the call, as some
questions have arisen upon which
the action of the legislature might
be welcome. None of these subjects
is sufficient, in itself, however, to
warrant the meeting.

CARRY STOMACH JOY
IN YOUR VEST POCKET
w. w. Albers Has Such Faith in This
Remedy That He Guarantees 1t.

One of the greatest successes in the
sale of medicine has been achieved by
Mi-O-na, the standard dyspepsia re-
medy, and its sale is increasing 50
rapidly that W. w. Albers. the popu-
lar druggist, has hard work to keep
a stock on hand. 1t is very popular
with bankers, ministers, lawyers and
Others. whose business or profession
keeps them closely confined, while
those who have brought on indiges-
ton through irregular eating, worry,
or other causes, have found relief in
this reliable remedy.
Mona comes in tablet form and is
sold in metal box especially designed
for convenience in carrying the medt-
cine in the pocket or purse. 1t is
pleasant TO take, gives quick relief
and should help any case, no matter
of how long standing. This remedy
has been so uniformly successful that
W. W. Albers will in future sell Mi
o-na under a positive guarantee TO
refund the money if il should not
prove entirely satisfactory.
