FAU[TLESS PRESCRIPTION
No Remedy for Stomach Distress and
Indigestion So Perfect.

A scientific prescription for dyspep-
STA put up in small tablet form and
called Mi-o-na is making thousands OF
quick and lasting cures throughout
America.
There is no stomach disease (even
catarrh of the stomach) that it is not
guaranteed to cure, and Hays & Field
has so much faith in Mona for stom
ach disorders of all kind that they will
refund your money if it does not
cure.
Mona, the faultless prescription,
stops sour stomach, belching Of gas,
distress after eating, heartburn, bill
iousness and nervousness.
1t is well worth trial by any reader
of the News who suffers from any
stomach disturbance. 1t contains in
gradients that not only give relief but
that act on the stomach so benen
cially that in a short time the flabby
tired out walls of the stomach regain
their strength and activity and can
erfectly digest any kind of food with
| out aid.
TRY Mi-o-na for a week; misery will
change to happiness; despair to hope
dull eyes to bright and you will your
self wonder why you suffered so long
with such a remarkable prescription
at hand.
And only so cents for large box
at HAYS & Field, and at druggists ev-
erywhere.

The Navy Department has been

was said at the department today that
the vote is three to one against the

is that many Of the employees live out

SPRECKELS
HEIRS TO Fight
FOR MILLIONS

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2O-The ex
Dected contest of the will of Claus
Spreckles, who bequeathed his millions
to his sons, Rudolph and Claus Angus
tus Spreckles, and his daughter, Mrs
Emma c. Ferris, while disinheritine
his sons, John D. and Adolph Spreck'
els, has been begun.
The first step was taken when the
petition of Rudolph and c. Augustus,
as executors of the will for the partial
distribution OF the estate to themselves
as trustees. was vigorously opposed by
John d. and Adolph. This means that
the validity Of the trust clause Is to
be attacked and that bitter war will
be urged OF secure for John d. and
Adolph Spreckels their share of their
fathers millions.
The will had been permitted to go to
probate without objection, but it was
expected that a contest would be made
when an application for distribution
should be made. Accordingly Judge
yoffey's courtroom was crowded today
when the hearing Of the application OF

the executors, who are also named as
trustees, was called for hearing. At
torney Cope, acting for John d. and
Adolph Spreckels, interposed volum-
nous demurrer, and the matter was
continued for one week.
In explaining the demurrer, Mr.
Cope said:
This means a contest and war tc
the knife. We will attack the validity
of the trust clause, and attempt tC
have the will set aside and secure oul
| legal share of the estate. We were
obliged to demur to the application TO
distribution, as otherwise the validit!
of the will could not be attacked later
and we would have lost our rights"
Claus Spreckels estate is valued a
between $3OOOO,OOO and $4O,OOO,OOO.

SOUTHERN BUSINESS
CONDITIONS REPORTED

While there has not been any mark
ed change in the general situation
affecting the textile industry, the gen.
eral opinion is that the general trend
is upward.
Building operations continue with
unabated vigor, and from all parts of
the South reports come of new mills
chartered and improvements planned
in old ones.
Lumber Situation.
The demand and supply theory in
commerce was never more forcibly IL
Illustrated than by the pine lumber
situation of this year. Although the
demand has been steadily increasing
for the past six months prices remain
low with a very threatening prospect
of declining. Lumbermen who are and
have been for many years daily stu
dents of the conditions diagnose the
case as one of over production. The
pine cut has steadily increased the
! past six weeks, Notwithstanding the
efforts of the leading mills to curtail
the production and prices threaten to
tumble. Trade is very good, however,
and the movement is becoming very
general. All parts of the country are
buying literally of the South's great
product and orders now carry with
them routing orders for immediate
movement. The pine situation is still
far from satisfactory from the manu-
| facturers viewpoint, however, due en-
tirely to over-production.
With the hardwood dealers condi
lions are much better. Trade is i'm
proving fast with excellent prospects
for the future. Manufacturing con
sumers are daily making heavier de
mands and inquiries indicate that the
summer and fall business will be mucf
better. The hardwood cut this sprins
is considerably larger than last, al
though the outlook for the summer il
not so good. The spring log crop ha!
nearly been used up. The rivers. thu
greatest producers ofchoice hardwood
logs have about yielded their usua
supply and agricultural pursuits viii
prevent logging for nearly two months
Many mills are still operating on pref
ty full time and a large number hav
closed until September. Hardwood
prices are strong with slight advance
in poplar, quartered oak, ash and ches
nut Common stock is holding firI
but promises no advances soon.
Inquiries are still coming from ca
manufacturers and railroads for bot
{ pine and hardwood, but Their
more inquiries than orders on the g
Some good deals have been closed BIT

HOT SPRINGS, Va, May POI am
sorry. l was in hope the report
which had reached me on the links

John D. Rockefeller when an Associ-
ated Press correspondent handed him
a dispatch confirming the death OF H.
II. Rogers. 1T is so unexpected, he
said. 81 had no knowledge that he Was
sick"
When asked for an expression as 10
the effect Mr.. Rogers death would
have on the stock market and the bust
ness world. Mr.. Rockefeller replied
Mr.. Rogers death is a great per-
sonal loss to the business world, but
it is only a personal loss. l am not
familiar with his business affairs, but
have every reason to believe they
were all in good shape. Mr. Rogers
has not been actively connected with
the affairs of the Standard Oil com
pany for more than two years"
I
Continuing and showing plainly that
the news had greatly affected him
Mr.. Rockefeller said:
81 have seen Mr.. Rogers but twice
during the last five years and on botf
of these occasions, as well as often be
fore. urged him with tears in my
eyes, not to work so hard. l alsC
pleaded with the members of his i'm
mediate family whenever l met then
to urge him not to work so hard. Blu

no one could persuade him to cas-
aside his burdens. ! can only repea
that his death is a great personal los
but that the business world will be il
no way unfavorably affected"

The Tradesmen this week will say:
Although in the midst of the quietest
season of the year for the hardware
jobbing trade, wholesale dealers are
not complaining at present business.
On the contrary the summer business
shows a considerable improvement
over last year and is entirely satisfac-
tory. Retailers are duplicating their
early orders, indicating a satisfactory
trade in the rural sections. Repots
gathered by The Tradesman from all
sections shaw a gradual and sure i'm
provement with the retail trade. Many
dealers are now placing fall orders
and preparing for an excellent fall
season.
The greatest influence on the hard
ware market just now is the advancing
price of cotton, the South's chief
source of money. The market has adj
vanced regularly for more than a
month and we'll informed cotton men
now express the belief that the prices

tailers in the cotton sections are max
ing preparations accordingly and
there is little doubt but that all ex-
pectations will be realized.
In manufacturing centers material
change of sentiment has developed in
the past two weeks and many of the
leading manufacturers are taking on
new life. The jobbers are continually
crowding them with fall orders, pass
ing up their reports from the retail
ers, and it now looks as if the manu-
facturer who is not well supplied with
stock will miss an opportunity. The
entire hardware fraternity is conf
IDENTIFY looking for a good fall.
In Textile Lines.
There has been some improvement
noted in the cotton markets during thu
past ten days. Fewer irregularities
have been found in cotton yarns, ant
some prices have advanced slightly
There have been more buyers in the
markets, both weavers and knitters

proposed change resentfully as revo-
lutionary
1t was also said at the department
that there is deep suspicion among
the employees that if they are induced
to go to work two hours earlier the
executive of congress will find way,
sooner or later, to add on half hours
work or more.

CONSIDERING HAVING

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Before
leaving for the South this week Pres
ident Taft and his cabinet considered
the question of moving up the Off
cial clock for government employees
in Washington, according to the Eng
lish idea, so as to allow the thou
sands of clerks in the departments to
get off earlier in the afternoon. Nearly
all of the male clerks, who want to
witness baseball games are for the
change. but there is some opposition
on the part of the women, who want
every hour of beauty sleep they can
get. No action has as yet been taken.

men. headed by former Mayor Fleisch-
man, asked the President to take
some governmental action to pushing
the clock ahead two hours on each
first of May, putting it back to the
original hours on october 1, The OBJ
iect is to get people to work two hours
earlier in the daylight months and
to allow them to quit work two hours
earlier that they may enjoy the
sunshine of the afternoons.
The President pointed out that the
new two hours would work a revolu
