Annual Meeting of the Trustees of
This Big Corporation.
New York Feb. 16 The annual re
port of the trustees of the McKay
companies was issued yesterday and
states that the companies own a part of
or all the capital stock of 74 prosper
ous cable, telephone and telegraph
companies in the United States and
Canada, the Commercial Cable and
Postal Telegraph system.
The report further states that the
McKay company's is one of the largest
stockholders in the American Tele
phone and Telegraph Company known
as the Bell Telephone Company, which
for 20 years has owned and operated a
telegraph system in Minnesota, Wis
consin, Iowa and Illinois. The report
shows that the McKay companies
have no debt; that there are $40,645,
000 preferred shares and $41,380,400
common shares. During the past year
$4,676,900 preferred shares have been
issued in exchange for shares in other
corporations paying as much or great
er dividends than corresponding divi
dends on the McKay preferred shares.
The report states that the income of
the constituent companies is largely
in excess of the amount required to
pay the McKay companies' dividends.
The excess is used for extensions and
reserves. The trustees state that they
confine themselves in their invest
ments to first-class table, telephone and
telegraph stock. The laying of the
fifth cable in the Atlantic Ocean and
thp establishment of cable communi
cation with Nedfoundland, and the lay
ing or trie new caoles to china and Ja
pan are referred to.
The trustees are Clarence H. Mc
Kay, William W. Cook, George G.
Ward, Dumont Clark and Edward C.
Piatt.

Eat what
You Like
Don't Starve or Diet, But Use Mi-o-na
and Cure Your Stomach Troubles.
The average treatment of stomach
trouhles consists of a rigid diet list,
which often half starves the patient.
Of course it would be foolish for any
one who knows that some foods are
positively harmful and poisonous to
continue eating them, even while fol
lowing the Mi-o-na treatment, but in
ordinary cases of stomach troubles it
is not necessary to starve or diet if
Mi-o-na is faithfully used, a tablet be
fore each meal.
This scientific, remedy for the cure
of stomach troubles, acts upon the
whole digestive system and strength
ens the organs so that they are able
to digest any food that is eaten with
out fear of distress.
Woodall & Sheppard have so much
confidence in the power of Mi-o-na to
cure stomach troubles and resulting
ills,, that they give a guarantee with
every 50 cent oox to refund the money
unless it cures. . .
If not convenient to obtain Mi-o-na
of Woodall & Sheppard or some other
retailer it will be sent by mail postage
