SMELLS TO HEAY YEN
Depression in a Fashionable Resi-
dence District Being Filled With
1 Reeking Offal.
For Blocks Around, People Are Hold
ing Their Noses and Pray
3s ing for Relief. n

It takes strong stomach to stand the
stencil arising from the big pile OF gar
bage which the city Of Minneapolis Is de-
posting as a filler in grading Fremont
avenue s between Twenty fifth and Twen-
ty-s1xIh streets. In the heart OF a fashion
able residence district. 81 #
In every residence within radius OF
several blocks of the nuisance, which
smells to heaven, people are burning sui
phur and scattering disinfectants thru
their domiciles to counteract the all-per-
vading, overpowering odor. Even these
measures do not suffice to disguise the
noxious gases with which the complaining
air is heavily laden. Bad as it is in day
time, the neighborhood should be visited
in the evening, when it exhales a thick
fog to smell at its worst.
Long winded pedestrians who pass that
way hold their breath until the painful
necessity Of breathing occasionally, are
tons.
The stencil was particularly offensive
this morning, and afflicted residents in
the neighborhood were all holding their
noses. The domestic forgot her usual
matin and the housewife neglected to
carol blithely as Of yore. Heavy-eyed for
want Of sleep-sweet slumber banished
by the dread thought Of asphyxiation-
there was no joy in the Sunnyside district.
A ray Of hope illunained the neighbor
hood at noon when a Journal reporter
fought his way into the desolate district
behind freman's sponge inhaler and
brought word to the stricken Inhabitants
that relief thru publicity might be at hand.
All the while two sturdy yeomen in
blue blouses and overalls were merrily
unloading a reeking load which enveloped
them In purple cloud OF its own maxi
ing.
"All we can do to stand it ourselves
said one, with grimace, taking chew
of tobacco in self defense. BOSS says
this is about the last load, SO guess the
worst is over. We're going to cover this
all over with dirt and that'n cut out the

It was well for these worthless that they
had almost reached the limit. for the men
of the neighborhood swore this morning
that they would commit violent assault
upon the teamster who dared bring an
other load Of the plague.
DR.. Louisa M. Hayes. speaking for the
afflicted ones Of the Sunnyside fiat 2431
Hennepin avenue, said that the dump had
made their lives miserable for the last
three weeks that they had complained in
vain and that the city would be enjoined
unless the nuisance was soon abated. The
stencil, she said, had interfered seriously
with study at the Douglas school, several
blocks from the dump and had made
her daughter sick. 4 sS
Others who complained with equal BIT

Chronic DiarfIloea of Nine
Years Standing Cured by
the Use of Mrs. Joe
Persons Remedy.
Person 5 Remedy.

For nine long years suffered from
chronic diarrhoea. which weakened me
down greatly. My weight went from 162
pounds to 81. I got so I could not do
any work, but could sit up little. For
twelve months I lived on sweet milk and
bread. If I ate anything else it would
start the bowels to troubling me, from
four to ten times day. My doctor said
1 would never get well; I might get bet
ter but my bowels would always be my
weak point that would cause me trouble
when 1 would take cold. Seeing Mrs.
Persons advertisement on the South Bos-
ton bridge, I wrote to her and stated my
case. She said she did not think there
was any doubt of her Remedy curing me.
I commenced it and soon I could eat and
drink anything I wanted, except butter
milk. 1 took % bottles, which made a
perfect cure of me, and I gradually re-
gained my weight until I again weighed
1913 pounds. 1t has been seven years
since I was cured, and I am now perfect
ly well. 1 had a baby that was born with
a bowel trouble which nothing would
reach. He was born in May and in July
he had bad boil which he suffered from
for six months. I didn't know Mrs. Per-
sons Remedy could be used on so young
a baby. so 1 wrote to her. She advised its
use. Before he had taken bottle the
bowel trouble was cured and also the
boil. which the doctor said threatened to
be a serious trouble as it was so obstinate
and lasted so long.
