TICKET SCALPERS DESPERATE
WANT ORDINANCE OUSTED

Chicago's theater ticket scalpers
are hot after the ticket scalping Or
dinance. 1t has to be put out of
the way" If it isn't thousand of dol
lars will be lost each year by ticket
scalpers, with the indefinite and in
direct cooperation of the ticket
offices, generally manage to sell you
seats from SO cents to 81 more than
you should pay for them.
Ticket scalpers make thousands
from the people each year. So do the
theaters. The general public gets
stung. Astonishing facts were
brought to light before the aldermen
passed the ordinance. 1t was brought
out that the first Is rows in the Ma
iestic we're distributed in some mys-
FERROUS way to the cigar counters of
hotels and the vest pockets of ticket
scalpers. 1t was also discovered that
good seats which had been sold" for
days suddenly turned up at the box
office a few minutes before show
time rushed there by the scalpers in
the hope that they would be sold.
Atty Levy Mayer justifies scaIping.
He compares the ticket brokers" as
he calls them-to the grain broker.
ct infringes on their constitutional
rights" as the ordinance is illegal, he
says.

OBITUARY..
Mrs. Fannie Harding Downs.

The passing" Of Fannie Harding
Downs, wife of B. w. Downs of Bruins
wick, Me-, which occurred April q,
1916, brought great sorrow to her fam
lily. and her many friends, few of
whom knew that her sweet life was
drawing so near its close.
While she had been ill for several
months, hopes had been entertained by
her family and friends, that the spring
and summer time would bring health
and strength to our loved one; but,
He, who doeth all things well. in his
wisdom, called her to the beautiful
summer land of souls. and. before
leaving this earth life she expressed
herself as ready and willing to go even
calling for the dear ARISEN ones to
come and take her home. She was
critically i'll for 10 days before passing
on. She is survived by husband, one
daughter, Mrs. c. NJ. Hayes of Allston,
Mass, two grandchildren, and one sis
ter, Mrs. Clara Bailey Of Bangor, Me-,
and hosts of friends, who would bow
in submission to the Divine will" yet
sincerely mourn the loss of a devoted
wife, a true and faithful mother, and
a loyal friend, one who endeared her
self to all who knew her by her brave
and noble life, and by her unselfish
and kind thoughtfulness and care over
all her family and friends; she had a
gift peculiar" to herself for smooth
ing the rough places in life" her ideals
were of the best, she held the standard
"a ~.
improve her mind and to help all those
with whom she came in contact. She
was an honored member of the Q. E.
S., and at different periods in life had
been member of the P. of H., the
Sunshine Society, etc, and was always
interested and ready to assist in all
good and helpful work.
Mrs. Downs was born in Hampden,
Me-, Oct 81, 1S4S, the daughter of Capt.
and Mrs. Allen Harding; Capt. Harding
was lost at sea, and Mrs. Harding
died, leaving Fannie an orphan in the
tender years Of childhood-but Grand
ma Harding and other relatives kindly
cared for her, and she grew up and be-
, came a successful school teacher Oct.
81, 1869, she became the wife of 3. w.
Downs of Winterport Me, where they
lived until 1889, moving from there to
Thorndike, Me, where they lived sew
eral years. Since then business and
pleasure have caused them to cross
our continent. and to pass several win
tiers In Florida, and other parts of the
South, and they have lived at different
times in Portland, Augusta and Rich
mond, Me. During the winter of 1915
and 1916, they caused to have built for
themselves a bungalow home" in
Brunswick Me, where they planned to
live in peace and quiet, during their
declining years. April 4, Mr.. and Mrs.
Downs moved to this new and cosy
home; April Is Mrs. Downs was strick-
en- with paralysis. All that medical sci
ence and kind and loving hands could
do, failed to hold her to earth, and
April 81 she. passed to the Higher
life"
The remains were taken to Hampden
Highlands, April 90. where services
were held in the home of cousin, Mrs.
Belle Myrick, attended by Rev. Mr.. Nc
Donald of Richmond, Me, and she was
laid to rest among a profusion of beau
tiful flowers, in the pretty cemetery of
her loved and native town.

The Real Way To End
Stomach Trouble
II To Correct the Conditions That
Cause It. Don't Let Food Ferment
and Decompose in Your Stomach.
Make Your Stomach Digest Your Food
Before Ii Sours.

Hyperchlorhydria -per-klor-high-
dreer) is a medical word meaning an I'M
healthy condition in the stomach and
digestive track, that causes premature
formation of food after it reaches the
stomach. Sourness, Gas, Acidity and
Heartburn result.
Artificial digestants give relief simply
by relieving the stomach Of its sour food
contents. They do not stop the fermenta-
ton or help the stomach.
To overcome conditions of this kind
Bowditch-Webster Co. and many 6ther
druggists are strongly recommending Mi
o-na Stomach Tablets which tone up the
stomach and restore normal digestion by
loosening up the hardened bile and mucus
from the stomach walls that are prevent
ing a normal flow of the natural digestive
Juices Mi-o-na gives quick relief to all
the usual distressing stomach symptoms
and so tones the stomach machinery that
pretty soon meals no longer turn sour,
but are digested normally and painless
ly. Druggists everywhere sell Mi-o-na
and say, "You can have your money back
If this don't help you"
