VENTURA
The Day Celebrated by Citizens and Veterans
In Camp

VENTURA, July s-Camp Phil Sher-
idan actually slept on the night of the Sd
of July-all but Senator Seymore and a
number of choice spirits who were howl
ingly and firecrackerly patriotic. Sec
tions of the camp would awake, fire
bombs. and suddenly subside into the
arms of Morpheus.
The morning trains were crowded to
the utmost, there being nine carloads
from Santa Barbara and six carloads
from Los Angeles; besides this, from ap-
pearances. every man, woman and child
in Ventura county was in town.
Main street was decorated with bunt-
ing from top to bottom, and was very
correctly up to the mark of the Fourth
of July patriotic requirements. But one
solitary building. probably on account of
It's venerable age, was permitted to re-
main gray, weather beaten and bunting
less. The old mission of San Buena Ven
tura, with its sauatty, cap-like steeple
and its hoarse- se-sounding cracked bells
peeping out of eyeholes in the steeple,
did not celebrate, but looked down upon
the gay throng somber and serene.
The procession was not as extensive
as was predicted, yet 1t was picturesque
and pleased the multitude. James Dom
lon, the grand marshal, followed by 100
aides, led the line of march, followed
by the Ventura City band. Then came

Hawaiian Huckleberry.

Near the Volcano House on the island
Of Hawaii are great thickets of the ohelo,
or Hawaiian huckleberry (Vacoinium ret
iculatum), which the natives consider
sacred to Pele, the goddess who is sup
posed to preside over the famous crater of
Kilauea, and which, together with white
pigs and chickens, are thrown by them
into the boiling red lake during an erup-
tion to appease the wrath of the aggres-
sive dame and thus cause the rivers of
lava to cease flowing on their destructive
course.
These berries grow in clusters on low
bushes right on the vrey brink of the
birthstone beds and are so numerous that
bushel may be easily gathered in half
an hour. In appearance they somewhat re-
semble a cranberry, and the flavor is pleas
antly suggestive of pes.-Popular Sci

MANHOOD
The Most Precious EIe-
n7ent of Our Physical
Being - You DO Not
Know How to APpre-
Ciafe Ii Until You Have
Lost 1t How II Can
Be Regained

There are three stages of lost
manhood: First, the absence of
manly power: second, loss of
ambition, energy, business and
social ability; third, loss of mem
ory, dullneSs of vision, dullneSS
of intellect, and in the end but
one result-nervouS debility.
Lack of manhood is the lack
of the one thing that makes life
worth living. The possessor of
a vigorous manhood does not
appreciate its worth. When he
loses it by excesses or indiscre-
tions he then begins to realize
what a grand element it is; how
much his happiness yes, his
very existence - depends up
on it.
When a man is broken down
in his vital powers, as a rule he
is not the only one who suffers.
Others = family, friends, those
who enjoy his company and
protection notice the depreS-
| sion in his spirits. the lack of
ambition, logged disposition,
nagging, irritable temperament.
1t makes all who come in con-
tact with him unhappy.
Let the reader understand
that all this misery comes from
the loss of nerve force i that
element which is the we'll
spring of all joy, of all mental
and physical pleasure. 1t is
the loss of this nerve force
that leaves the mind and body
weak, and causes the sufferer
to feel that the best of his life
has been spent.
To replace the force and
strength of the nerves we must
use Electricity-not drugs-as
Electricity forms the basis of
all animal life. 1t is the nerve
force, the life of the nerves,
and the life of all nervous ana
vital organs increases when
Electricity is applied in mild,
soothing currents, as it is from
DR.. Sanden'S Electric Belt.
1t is hard to convince some
people of the value of this great

amount of fraud and deception
which is practiced by makers
of a cheap grade of belts, and
how these charlatans impose
them on the public with the
announcement that they are
"as good as DR.. Sanden's.
| was very skeptical before |
used your Belt, but must say
in all my 50 years experience |

A Thin Mans Complaint.

Oneof these days some philanthropist
will take long time off and try to dis
cover why it is that neckties are always
made for the man with the thickest
conceivable neck, while the rest OF
normal masculinity has to go about
with a couple of inches of necktie
pinned up at the back or have n liberal
segment cut out in order to make the
cravat tie properly. Despite the COM
plant of purchasers no relief comes
from the haberdashers. This necessity
has created the demand for ties made to
order, but the best styles are usually
those already made up when they are
offered for sale, and the same patterns
are not likely to be available.
apparently there is no limit under
the size of the supposititious neck for
which all ties are made" complained Il
thin man. "Anecl1tie in order to be tied
properly should fit the neck as 4 collar
does. In one store up town found ties
made for boys which fitted me better
than the others and learned in this
particular place that most of the mei
customers had for several years bought
the neckties intended for boys. But
even this fact had not suggested to the
proprietor that it might be q good thing
for him and his customers to have the
ties graded in size to something under
the phenomenal length in which the,'
are all made at present. IN. Y. Sun.
