Jones of Brunswick, Tenn,
at the Age of u, Tells
About Liquid
Vitalitas

Mr.. r. L. Jones, aged ~, postmaster,
railroad agent and perhaps the most
popular man residing in Brunswick,
Tenn, tells how Vitalitas has made him
feel
There is nothing I can say which
would be too good for Vitalitas. 1t is
a wonderful builder of the system and
for indigestion, sour stomach and belch =
Ing nothing has ever done for me what
three bottles of Vitalitas have / now
feel as well as / ever felt in my life.
1t has cured me of ills with which
have been suffering for years"
The action of Vitalitas is natural,
giving fresh vigor wherever there is
weakness or disease. 1t restocks the
system with nerve forces and cleanses
it of toxic poisons Not only the aged
find new health and strength in Vitalf-
tas but the young and middle aged as
well. 1t sweeps away many derange-
ments of stomach, liver kidneys, bowels
and blood.
Have sample drink of Vitalitas to-
day at the demonstration at Averty' S
drug store, 109-111 Twentieth street, or

Peace Endangered

''These bellicose dispositions constituted
a permanent danger for the peace of Eu-
rope.
From a perusal of the six other chap
ters of the yellow book which are de-
voted to the diplomatic negotiations car
ried on in the month of July, there is to
be deducted, and supported by evidence,
the following impressions: That the COM
bination between Austria and Germany
had decided upon war, and that on four
successive occasions this combination en-
deavored to precipitate war by violent
proceedings, the purpose of which was to
prevent or TO insure the failure of all
efforts at conciliation. The first of these
proceedings was the Austrian ultmatum
10 Servia (July 2D which was the origin
of this conflict. In spite of the fact that
the Belgrade government offered for the
prosecution of the assassins of the Aus
trian archduke every facility compatible
with its dignity, the cabinet of Vienna

SHANGHAI and Salt Fish.

The city of Shanghai imported last
year about 100000 yen worth Of salt
fish. The import of salt fish dates
three years back, and began with the
introduction of salt salmon from Prim-
erskaya (Russian HttOral prOvince),
salt cod from Kwangtung leased terri
tory, and salt sardines from Nagasak,
says the Manchurian Daily News. In
addition to salt cod. the leased terri
tory exported 5000 yen worth Of
swordfish last year This fish, which
owes its name to its likeness to a
sword in shape as well as in its glis-
tening, scaleless body, is found in
great abundance in these coast wa
tiers. The local quality is better suited
to the Chinese palate than imports
from Ningpo and ports on the North
China coasts, and has a promising fu-
tUre on the Shanghai market In fact,
the Chinese are heavy consumers Of
this fish, the total annual import to
Shanghai reaching 100000 piculs.
