Lucky Imperial Valley

Stockton, Aug 5,-Wrth practical ly an embargo placed on ice by the railroads. several towns In this vicinity are suffering from an Ice famine.
 As yet. Stockton has not suffered. but this Is owing to the fact that the local plant produces about sixty tons daily, while the consumption ranges from thirty to forty tons daily. The surrounding towns must now depend on Stockton for their Ice as the scar city of cars has caused the railroads to cease handling Ice except in small shipments.
 The local dealers say there Is plenty of Ice at points in the mountains, but 1t Is impossible to get 1t delivered at required places.
Imperial Valley press., 1907-08-10

The county division election carried by large majority, and the peerless Imperial county has by the will of the voters been duly formed, and Fl Centro, the center in name and the center in fact has been chosen by a large majority as the county seat of the new county
 That this. town would be chosen as the county seat had been practically conceded by all nearly week before election. The people of the valley be- |lieved that to put the seat of govern ment at this place would best con serve the interests of the largest num- Der of people.
 The election was quiet all over the Ecounty. Much interest was taken in Ithe questions and very large vote Twas polled, showing that practically |every voter in the county cast his |vote for his choice.
 The contest for county seat was be- |tween Fl Cennro.

They hold malice toward no one, and although Imperial was Its hardest com petitor, and perhaps was dishartened over Its defeat at first, It might not be out of place to right here add that 1t Is the wish of Fl Centro to be a sister town of Imperial and every induce ment to secure harmony will be put forward It were we'll to remember that the court house does not neces- sarlly make or mar town and that Imperial will not suffer Is believed by all Let each town get In and work for the betterment of the valley. for the good of the county. and the pros perity of all Its towns and their people. There is room enough for us all Town pride Is justiflable-but har- monious county pride Is to be looked upon with exceeding favor.

Pure Sugar Now.

1t will not be long before grocers will
have to cut out white sugar, unless the
pure food law is changed. The prospect

wiHSsoonbe using granulated and other
sugars of a distinctly yellow hue, for the
pure food commissioners have decreed
that no mineral bluing substance be used
in bleaching sugar. The refineries and
chemists are much disturbed over this,
and perhaps some house wives may share
their feeling. Sugar chemists say that
they use four, pounds of. mineral bluing
substance to every 1,000pounds of sugar
for bleaching purposes. They say that
this is not adulteration-th that it is merely
publication by a thoroughly healthful
process. The pure food commission does
not agree with the chemists, however.

FOR STOMACH SUFFERERS.
Don't Use Any Remedy That Keeps
Its Formula a Secret.

People troubled with stomach weak
ness cannot afford to use medicine
unless they know what it contains.
Mi-o-nal is the one remedy for
stomach troubles that publishes it's for
muls: chemically pure pismuth subgall-
ate, to allay any Inflammation of the
stomach and bowels; cerium oxalate, to
strengthen nerves; sodium bi-carbonate,
to neutralize the poisonous acids that
are present in stomach troubles; and
nux vomica, which restores vigor to the
digestive organs and tones up the whole
nervous system.
This combination Of valuable rem
edies is found only in Mi-o-na
stomach tablets, and itso rarely fails to
strengthen the digestive system, and
cure even the worst form OF stomach
trouble, that L. P. Van Werden sells the
remedy under guarantee to refund the
money unless it cures.
A SOC box of Mi-o-na will give quick
relief for Indigestion, distress after eat
ing, sleeplessness, or any of the other
symptoms of stomach troubles. Unless
it does this the cost is nothing.

The Origin of Valentines.

A fact in natural history, to-wit, that
birds in Southern Europe pair about
the middle of February, is said to
have inspired a custom of the ancient
Romans, to which the origin of modern
valentine can undoubtedly be traced.
At the feast of the Lupercalia, held in
honor of the great god Pan, the names
of the virgin daughters of Rome We're
put in box, and drawn therefrom by
the young men. Each youth was bound
to offer gift to the maiden who fell to
his lot, and make her his partner during
the time of the feast. How this secular
custom became allied to the name of a
saint is altogether different matter.
st. Valentine was a bishop of Rome
during the third century. He is said
to have been man of very amiable
nature, and most eloquent speech,
wherefore he was very successful in corr
verting the pagan Romans to Christian
ity. Marcus Aurelious was then EN-
peror, relentless prosecutor of the
Christians, and by his order the Bishop
was beheaded. The date of his death
was February IA, 207 A. d. We find tn
statement in Archbishop Wheatley S
illustrations of the Book of Common
Prayer" that ST. Valentine was man of
admirable parts, and so famous for his
love and charity that the custom of the
choosing valentine upon his festival
took it's rise from thence" But prob
ably the connection of name is
wholly due to coincidence of date.
When the saints name was placed in
the church calendar, the day of his
deathswas made festival, to Offset that
of Lupercalia, on the 18th. In Allen
Buffers Lives of the Saints we read
that the Jealous Christian fathers tried
to substitute the names of saints for
those of girls in the lottery game, but
without success. So the valentine
custom spread from Rome through Eu-
rope to great Britain always in high
favor, and later, in the form of sending
tender missives, came to America and
down to the present time. The Feb

Names and the Law.

Speaking generally, the law of Eng
land allows a person to assume and
use any name, provided it's use is not
calculated to deceive or inhict pecuni-
airy loss. So the court of appeals laid
down the law in Dockrell against Dou-
gall, and this attitude of the law, the
Law Journal remarks, is characteristic
of our British love of liberty. French
law is much more strict 1t forbids any
citizen to bear any name other thar
that which is expressed in the registry
of his birth or to add any surname tt
his proper name. German law is the
same, only it goes little further in
imposing penalty on any one giving
false name to an oficial.-Dundee

When Cod Become blind.

Several large cod are kept in one Of
necessarily near the surface and there
fore exposed to a strong light from
above. Now, the cod, though not a
deep sea fish, is. not surface swim
mer and lives at depths where the sun
light must be very much modified by
passage through the water 1t lives in
what to us would he semidarkness. Ev.
cry one Of these cod exposed to the
strong light is suffering from an eX.
traordinary hypertrophy Of the eye.
The whole organ has become over
grown, as If in the effort to adjust it.
self to the use of more light rays it had
become overequipped and then useless
The cod, in fact, are blind The most
interesting feature in this change is the
extraordinary rapidity with which in.
creased supply of light rays has over
developed the organ for it's use. 1t has
taken place not by slow degrees from
individual to individual, but in a course
of time to be measured by months and
in every individual in the tank. If
this example is measure of the rapid
ity with which such changes take place
among fishes, the adaptation of those
creatures which have migrated from
the shallow waters Of the deep seas,
shown by the total loss OF enormous
development of their eyes and the
growth of Illuminating organs to light
the abyss, may have been as rapid as
it is Observation-Disclosures Spectator.
