trade they could handle throughout

To the mere man, who attempted to
enter either of the big dry goods

eager crowd of women the scene was
confusing and it was difficult to under
stand how the buyers could be salts
factorily waited on, but as one watched
the streams of bundles going back to
the wrapping counters and heard the
constant ring of the cash registers he
was forced to the conclusion that the
women customers were not so exact

like these when they realize that they
are securing real bargains and are
saving a great deal of money in their
purchases.
No such crowded scenes were ever
witnessed in local stores and it is
doubtful if they are often witnessed in
the large city department stores, and
the chatter and noise were so great !
that one could scarcely hear himself |
speak. This was particularly true at
McKennon, Anderson & Fosters |

WHAT CAUSES INDIGESTION.
To Be Cured, Weakness of Stomach
Muscles Must Be Overcome.

The chief cause of Indigestion is thc
weakness of the stomach muscles ana
the lack of gastric juice.
To make complete cure of stomach
trouble, most people think they have to
give up business and devote their time
to dieting, exercise and, perhaps, a
vacation
But by taking Mi-o-na stomach tab
lets the stomach muscles will be slim
ulated and strengthened and the flow
of gastric juice will be increased. Mi
o-na does not do the stomach's work;
it makes the stomach strong enough to
do it. In this way the trouble is COM
pletely cured and there is no further
need of medicine.
No matter how severe case of
stomach trouble you have, Mi-o-na
will cure it by strengthening the whole
digestive system, and you will soon

The Year in the Shipyards,

Times have not been very strenuous
OF late--lnore the pity-in the ship
yards along the coast and yet, accord
ing to the report of the United States
commissioners of navigation, the fiscal
year which closed q week ago was
record breaking in it's shipbuidius
activities. The output from American
yards for the year was 1906 vessels of
5SS,627 gross tons. Heretofore 1852
crafts held the record, with a tonnage
output of 53S, $50 Two tendencies are
made conspicuous by a comparison of
these years. The first is exhibited by
the fact that the lesser number of YES
sells had the greater tonnage. Building
bigger and bigger is the order of the
years. not only in navies. but in mer-
chant marine. There is limit to the
profitable dimensions of vessels, en-
ployed in ordinary trade. but the small
vessel under normal transportation
conditions is no longer economically
advisable.
The other tendency, which illustrates
the change of maritime base, is seen in
the rise of the lake marine to a com
manding position in the aggregate
shipping of the United States. Fol
instance. in 1865 there were built or
the Great Lakes only 263 vessels OF
45.243 tons while last year IS stee
steamers of 3o4,379 gross tons were
constructed for service in our inland
seas OF the total output last year
more than fifty per cent. is to the cred
it of the great establishments at Cleve,
land, Ecorse. Lorain and other points
which in 1855 were too far inland tt
affect the shipbuilding industry of the
entire United States.
The tonnage built last year was en-
tirely for domestic transportation. NJ

trade was launched. Here we see an
other point of contrast with 1885, which
was the zenith year of the "Palmy'
period of the American merchant ma
rine, as that phrase is commonly I'M
derstood Then our ships almost lit
orally whitened every sea. Today W.

French Sea Foods.

Consul George II. Jackson of La
Rochelle, sends the following Informal
ten concerning oysters and fish on the
French coast:
"Thc MarenneS oyster is considered
the most popular in France. The
oyster parks are laid out in the space
between the island of Oleron, the is
land Of AK and the mainland. Each
ebb tide permits the waters of the
Seudre to flow over the beds. The
bivalves are brought to this locality in
large numbers from the breeding beds
at Archcson. Here they are deposit
ed in the mud to fatten and to take on
the peculiar coppery tint and taste,
which makes the green oyster of
Marannes popular in France. Accord
ing 70 the statistics of 1907, shipments
of oysters from one Of the two railway
stations gave a total of S,220 tons.
which nccessitated the use of 620
freight cars. The increase over 1906
was more than one hundred and fifty
tons.
"a number of fishes hitherto I'M
known in these waters. but we'll known
Oh the Atlantic coast of the United

The Bryan Platform.

Although Bryan himself is really
the Democratic platform as we'll as
the Democratic candidate he has al
lowed his convention to put together a
collection of planks upon which in
theory he will stand in the coming
campaign. There has been lot of
newspaper discussion as to the planks
which Bryan has wanted and has not
wanted, but everybody knows that the
platform is nothing to Bryan after all
and that he is willing to get on and
off of any old platform as long as he
has the privilege Of running for the
presidency. There would be no lack
the planks which Bryan has used and
discarded could only be sold as lum-
Der. Free silver, Imperialism, govern
ment ownership, court wrecking-
these and others have been in turn
paramount issues" with the shifty
Nebraskan who has leaped from one
fad and folly to another with an agil-
ity unprecedented in our political his
tory. Read the platform adopted at
Denver and then look over the follow
ing partial list of the discarded planks
of earlier Bryan platforms:
We are unalterably opposed to
monometallism, which has locked fast
the prosperity Of an industrial peo-
pie in the paralysis of hard times
We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
nation on earth.
We denounce the issuance of notes
intended to circulate as money by ma
tional banks as in derogation of the
constitution.
Until the money question is settled
we are opposed to any agitation for
further change in our tariff laws.
We especially object to government
by injunction, as a new and highly
dangerous form of oppression, by
which federal judges, in contempt of
the laws of the states and rights OF
citizens, become at once legislators
judges and executioners.
We regard the recent decision of
the Supreme court relative to the in
come tax as a msinterpretation of the
constitution and an invasion of the
rightful power of Congress over the
subject of taxation.
The telegraph. like the postof1ice
system, being necessity for the
transmission of news, should be owned
and operated by the government
We favor a system of direct legs-
lttion through the initiative and ref
erendunl.
The burning issue of imperialism
growing out Of the Spanish war in
wolves the very existence of the repub-
lie and the destruction of our free in
stituions. We regard it as the para
mount issue of the campaign.
We favor the immediate construc-
ton, ownership and control of the
Nicaragua canal by the United States.
One remedy for trusts is that own
crship and control be assumed and
exercised by the people.
In all probability in two or three
years the Bryan planks of today will
