A disordered stomach may cause M
end of trouble. When the stomach fails
to perform it's functions the bowels be-
come deranged, the liver and kidneys
congested, causing numerous diseases,
the most fatal of which are painless and
therefore the more to be dreaded. The
important thing is to restore the stom'
ach and liver to healthy condition.

The expected is about to come to pass
in mid-ocean journalism. A concern has
been organized which will undertake the
printing of a daily newspaper on the
ships of the great transatlantic steamer
lines. Not ships bulletin, giving a
record of the happenings on board, but a
full daily newspaper, with the news of
the world up TO the time of publication.
This is made possible by the Marconi
wireless telegraph system, with which
all but one of the principal ocean lines
are now equipped. The ships will be
supplied with news for the first three
days from stations on the shore which
they are leaving, and will then ''pick up"
stations on the other shore for the rest
of the voyage. When this comes to
pass, an ocean voyage will lose much of
its value for the world-weary man.
About his only resort then will be the
Arctic seas or the woods of Maine. But
if he comes to Maine, let him beware of
telephone wires, for they are still spread
ing into the wilderness.

One other peculiar feature OF the

There are some very impressive
facts In connection with conditions in
Minneapolis at the present time; facts,
which, duly considered, have made it
seem timely to present to T r
a / readers and to the people of
other cities and states some little ac-
count Of the situation as it bears upon
real estate investment and home build
ing.
Briefly these facts include the gen.
orally healthy commercial conditions
In Minneapolis and the northwest, the
continued growth of the city, the
heavy building operations, the very ex-
tensive interest in real estate both for
home building and business invest
ment. the moderate cost Of building.
the thrift of the people which is cau>-
ing an unprecedented investment in
homes, the general elevation Of public
sentiment in matters Of architecture
and the identifying Of the city and the
constant influx of people, who, after
investigation, have decided that Min
neapolis Is the ideal place in which to
establish homes.
Some of these topics have been
touched upon at more. OF lesszlength
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1904-05-31

in the columns which follow. No at
tempt has been made to have the
treatment exhaustive; suggestion has
been the chief purpose. If the ideas
presented will turn more minds in the
direction of Minneapolis a possible
nome, set Minneapolis people to think
ing of the desirability of home own
ing, and assist in promoting the grow
ing desire for a beautiful city, the
purposes of the present issue will have
been accomplished.
It may be we'll to add here one sug-
gestion from an old Minneapolitan to
his fellow citizens. If you have estab-
lished your own home in Minneapolis
and have found the city a desirable
place in which to live, do not be selfish
about it. Try to bring some of your
friends from other parts of the coun-
try to the enjoyment Of the same bene-
fits. Mail few copies Of this issue OF
T h Lou n a to those who may
