You don't have to 20 to a medical col
lege to learn that pains and aches are
either the result Of neglect, abuse or ac
cident. A pain is simply Natures way
Of showing anger. You trife with Ma
ture, and Nature will pay you back in
pain every time. That's just as true as
and make4. When you get away from
Nature you suffer, and you'll keep on
suffering until you go back where you
belong. The quickest route back is
through the use of Omega Oil. This is
natural vegetable liniment. Nature
makes it and colors it green, just as she
colors all things that grow out of the
ground. She makes it for people who
have painful backs, sore arms, lame
shoulders, tired legs. stiff knees and joints,
rheumatism, and swollen, tender, bad
smelling feet. Rub it into the place that
hurts. and Nature will stop the pain.
"SOme time agowe semitic you for two
bottles of Omega Oil and were so much
pleased with the benefit derived from it
that we enclose 50 for four bottles more.
Have used it for colds, rheumatism,
sprains and so on for ourselves and
friends, and all seem we'll satisfied with
the results" NJ. L. LOOP.

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-03-20

death-like silence, like a great funeral
procession, to the palace to ask the
American government not to make the
American flag the symbol of oppression
in American territory. Nothing like
this solemn spectacle has been seen
since the colonies revoIted against King
George.
When they arrived at the palace the
crowd waited in the street silently
while the committee, headed by the
mayor and Mr.. Crosas, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, entered. Gen
eral Davis King, the deputy, was re
ceived by Adjutant General Hill and
Chief Surgeon Hall. The committee
handed Hall their petition.
I'VE speak in the name Of the bust
ness men and the agriculturists of the
whole island, regardless of party said
Mr.. CroSaS. 1T is a matter Of life and
death to us. We want a decision now.
We cannot wait. Delay means absolute
ruin"
Surgeon Hall read the petition and
said: THE recommendation in this
petition are in line with the suggeS-
tiOns General Davis has made to the
president OF the United States again
and again. General Davis viii imme-
diately cable the petition to the secre-
tary of war and will do everything in
his power to aid you"
Will Give Them Food.
Adjutant General Hill said: 81 can
inform you that the secretary of war
has authorized that S1.000.000 be spent
Immediately for the relief of the island.
All this will be used in making roads.
Within six weeks we expect to have
10000 laborers employed on public
works. Meanwhile we will continue to
give food TO prevent starvation"
THAT is good. but we are sorry that
the people must receive the bread Of
! charity said Mr. CroSas.
What would you have at this mo-
ment?'' asked Hill.
Free trade" answered CrosaS, els
the condition Of stability under which
I commerce and industry can revive.
With free trade business will be re-
/ sumed by merchants; bankers viii have
money to lend to planters, who can en-
/ ploy labor"
Suppose congress makes the tariff
10 per cent?" suggested Hill.
"Then, for Gods sake. let US know
/ our fate at once. Make it Is. 20, % per
cent. We cannot help ourselves But
act quickly

/ and announced the answer, and the
multitude gave three cheers for the
United States and for General Davis.
( Meetings of merchants were held to-
day in all cities and towns of Porto
Rico. kilograms are pouring into the
I palace. Meanwhile special prayers are
1 offered in all the churches.
