HERE'S new VlGOR FOR
OvERW0RkED STOMACHS

Wortley and French, the popular
druggists, have been in the drug bust
ness long enough to have their own
opinion Of the best way of selling
medicines. They say the plan adopted
by Mi-o-na, the great dyspepsia rem
edy, is the fairest they have ever
heard of. They don't believe that a
medicine ought to be paid for unless
it does the user some good. And
Mi-o-na is sold under a positive guar
antee to relieve dyspepsia or to re-
fund the money. You simply leave
30 cents on deposit with Wortley q
French and if, after you have used the
box of Mi-o-na you decide that it has
done you no good, all you have to do
is to tell them so and they will return
your money.
Hundreds of people have been re-
lieved of stomach agonies by using
this remarkable remedy. 1t is not
simply a food digester; it is a medi-
cine that puts all Of the digestive
organs into normal condition and
gives rudy, glowing, vigorous health.
a change for the better will be seen
after the first few doses of Mi-o-na,
and it continued use will soon give the
power to eat anything at any time
and not suffer distress afterward. Use
Mi-o-na and see how much more there
is in life.-adv.

Patrons OF our Schools.
Sootless Railway Engine Consumes
Much Less Fuel

MuCn Less ueI
The revolutionizing of motive power
on railroads may result from tests be-
ing made on the Chicago and North
western and New York Central rail-
roads with device which enables en-
gines to burn pulverized coal. A cut
of 65 per cent in the amount of coal
used by engine and a cut of 40 per
cent in the original cost Of the fuel is
expected.
One engine on the Northwestern
road is so equipped. On recent run
from Chicago to Clinton, Ia, carrying
one car, it consumed approximately
two tons of coal. The ordinary type
would have used between four and
five tons.
Coal ground as fine as -four is fed
into the engines through pipes by
means of force feed. 1t is sprayed
into the fire box and burns like an oil
fuel. 1t must be carried in air-tight
receptacles and contain very little
moisture. Perfect combustion is OBJ
tanned. Crates and sifters are done
away with. So also is SCOT. 1t econo-
mics labor, the fireman feeds the
engine by turning handle. 1t saves
time by eliminating frequent coaling
stops. 1t uses run of mine" coal,
and better yet, screenings, that here
tofore were wasted. Installation cost
is great. Coal storage buildings to
keep coal dry, grinding machinery,
air-tight tanks, etc. Probably the use
will be universal.

Used Special Casket

Portland-Mrs. Charles Spangler,
the heaviest woman for miles around,
expired at her home on the John Kelly
farm, near Brokaw's corners, in Eagle
township, where the family moved on
ly short time ago. The last time
she stepped upon the scales, which
was only few weeks prior to her
death, her weight was registered at
440 pounds. Her husband, her moth
err, Mrs. Rebecca McCrumb, and a
sister, Mrs. VIM. Sandborn Of Grand
Ledge, survive her. The woman was
laid to rest in casket made especial
ly for her. 1t was too large to be
taken into the house through the door
way so large window was removed
to permit of it's reception. The d.
mansions of the casket were 81 inches
across the top, 26 inches across the
bottom and % inches in depth.
Mrs. Spangler's death was due to
fatty degeneration of the heart. Her
illness was of four weeks duration.
She came to Portland often, invari-
ably riding in low phaeton drawn by
mule. Her excessive weight made
it extremely difficult for her to get
about.

Rockford-In the death of S. M.
Briggs, who passed away at his home
north of town Thursday, the town

Hastings Girl Honored

Hastings-It will be no small graft
fication to the friends of Miss Louise
Potter to learn that she has been
elected vice-president of the senior
literary class of the university of
Michigan. This is the highest honor
that a graduating class can give a
woman, as the president must be a
man. The treasurer of the class is
Miss Marian Hubbard, daughter of
the famous Ebert Hubbard.

Blew His Money AWAY

Hastings-A man by the name of
Searls had $50 in bills blown out of
his hand by the strong wind Tuesday,
at the corner of Jefferson and State
streets, and lively chase down the
street by several who saw the mishap
recovered the whole of it, one bill go
ing as far as the Maynard livery barn
before it was recovered. 1t was some
wind, about that time and it was a
miracle that all the money was re-
covered.

Sold 20 Horses

Hastings-The representatives of
the Peterson company of Buffalo, pur-
chased % horses for shipment to
France at Hoes barn. A large num-
Der of horses were offered for sale,
but many owners refused to accept
prices offered. The lowest price paid
was $500, the highest $175.O0. The
cheap horses are used for the cavalry,
the heavier and best ones for hauling
artillery. Barry county's contribu-
ton helped make up full quota of
10000 horses for the French army
The firm has also landed a contract to
supply 10000 horses for the Belgian
army.
The purchasers will buy horses in
Lake Odessa.
