The Great Fer-Don Says Human
Beings Are Like Locomotives
More Care Given to Stalking Engines Than Regulating
Food Supply.
Food Supply.

J. M. Fer-Don, or the Great Fer-Don,
as he is called in California, and his
staff of European medical experts and
bloodless surgeons are causing much
talk and excitement In Walla Walla.
The State hotel has presented a scene
of unusual activity for the past few
weeks. This hotel is the headquarters
for the Fer-Don's medical experts, who
are meeting the public daily. The
success Fer-Don has had in California
for the past five years has followed
him here to Walla Walla, for an aston
ishing number of people are calling to
see these wonderful experts. Fer-Don
had the following to say when seen at
his headquarters Saturday to a news
paper reporter:
"The way Americans abuse their
The digestive organs are like boiler
in locomotive. They generate the
power to run the human machine. If
a locomotive makes run of 100 miles
it is fed just enough fuel to do the
work properly-no more, no less. 1t
would be an insane idea to attempt to
make locomotive use as much fuel
in a run of five miles as during a 100
mile run. The fireman would be fired
if he attempted it.
I'VE are our own firemen. We de-
eide how much fuel, in the shape Of
food, the human engine shall have. Do
we go about it in a sensible, rational
manner, striving to regulate the supply

The city Ct Walla Walla, in common
with all other municipal corporations
has it's charter and ordinances duly
constituted, it's municipal court, and
this l desire to triefiyy discuss under
three heads, namely: First, how con-
stituted. Second, it's jurisdiction
j. Third, its procedure.
First. How constituted: The city
charter provides that at each regular
city election there shall be elected one
city Justice, who shall serve for term
of one year, Or until his successor is
duly elected and qualified.
Under present conditions the annual
election of a city justice is but mere
formula. When the present city char
ter was adopted by the territorial leg
islature in 1883, the city Of Walla
walla was entitled to and there were
elected therein two justices of the
peace, and the charter wisely provid-
ed that the electors should select one
Of them to be city justice at the an
nuai city election, but later the general
laws were changed to the effect that
the city is now entitled to one JUS
tice of sthe peace AS the city justice

HlTCHING RACKS
ARE CONDEMNED

Third street hitching rancks are
doomed. After much discussion in
past years, during which the farmers
benefited vigorously protested against
the proposed removal, it has been de-
cided that the street must be cleared
with the widening of the walk on the
east side of the street between Main
and Rose streets. The city council
last night granted Gardner & company
and J. c.. Scott permission to extend
the walk to width of IL feet, provid-
ing the racks were eliminated. The
proposed extension will make the walk
about four feet wider than at present,
and as North Third is comparatively
narrow, it was the feeling Of council
men that the teams should not be per-
mitted the use of the pioneer hitch
ing posts.
Perhaps somebody has made a
'bobble"-Councilma c. H. White
man isn't certain, yet. But he entered
motion at the meeting of the city
fathers last night that Park street,
as we'll as the curling, be raised at
least four inches between Alder and
Birch streets. Ever since the street
was improved by macadam last sum-
mer, Mr. Whiteman, chairman of the
street committee, has been worried by
the apparent mistake" that had been
made by someone in permitting the
curling as well as the street in front
Of the Mosgrove property to fall into
unseemly depths. The motion made
last night, carried, and ere the south
erly end of Park street is completed
by the contractor, it is probable work
will be started on the northerly end
with the view to repairing something
that should not have happened, ac-
cording to the chairman of the street
committee.

to the demand put upon it? I should
say not. Our idea is to crowd just as
much into ourselves as we can possibly
eat three or four times day.
Exercise to the human engine Is
equivalent to miles run by the locomo-
tive. Surely human engine that sits
at desk or stands behind a counter
or rides in motor car all day is not
entitled to the big fuel supply of one
that walks behind a pillow for nine 10
ten hours at a stretch. But they all
get about the same amount of food,
and in consequence most city people
are nervous, run down, easily tired
and about half sick For years they
haven't had enough outdoor exercise to
digest their food properly, and the
whole digestive machine is stuffed up
and out of order.
my experts have a medicine and
treatment that will tone up the diges-
tive organs in 80 days. Not less than
one-fourth of the population of Walla
Walla will take this tree tment in the
next two months. They cant hep it.
Every time a tired-looking, droopy
man or woman starts using our treat
ment they will be persuading friends
to try it in about two weeks. That's
how / made such a record in California
My medical experts will be at the
State hotel every day from 10 to Il
a. M, 2 to A p. m. and every evening
from to s, where the public can call
and see them.

Farmers Gather In Great Numbers

Monday last was Farmers Day. at
the College Farm of the Delaware Ex-
pertinent Station. And the farmers
were there-more than 1000 of them
from Cecil, New Castle. Chester and
elsewhere to inspect the experiments
being conducted on the beautiful farm
near Newark, and to hear the ad-
dresses that were in store for their
entertainment and instruction. The
morning was spent in inspection under
the guidance OF bulletin especially
prepared for that purpose. At noon a
luncheon was served to all present.
And then the speaking began Con-
gressman Head of Wilmington, pre-
sided, and Senator dupont made a few
remarks. Then followed DIR. Waite,
of the U. S. Agricultural Department,
who took the place of Secretary Will
son. DR.. Wsite's theme was agricul-
ture as an art-"the greatest and most
valuable art, its value being inesti-
mable."
Col. Seeds, OF Pennsylvania, was then
introduced as practical farmer. who
had proven in his own person the value
of farming to both mans health and
wealth. Col. Seeds address was witty
and entertaining from beginning to
end. at the same time. preaching a
sound philosophy of life. He empha-
sized the value al education. if educa-
tion be taken as signifying the knowl-
edge OF how to do things. He empha-
sized the Importance OF mans loving
his occupation. No wonder the boys
despise and leave the farm, when they
hear nothing but abuse OF it from their
parents lips. He denied that the most
successful man is the richest man
rather the man who gets the most out
OF life. He plead for the home. Make
it supreme. Let sunlight and comfort
and good cheer pervsde it. Make it so
good place to be that the children
cry when they leave it, He also dwelt
on the need OF progressive spirit, a
Willingness to adopt new ideas and new
methods. A man may not be respon-
sible for having the itch. but he need
not be nine years behind in his scratch
ing. He then went on to show what
new ideas had done for WORKOUT
lands. and brought forth many practical
questions from his great company of
listeners. This closed the speaking,
and the throng dispersed. feeling that
the day had been prohtably and hap
pilv spent.
