EAT A SQUARE MEAL AND
NOT FEAR INDIGESTION
. \ 4 \ \ \ \ 4 x 4 x 4 4 4 Z


There are hundreds of people in
Salem who were not the least hit sur
Prised when they read in the Journal
that Daniel j. Fry is selling Mi'o'na
on guarantee to refund the money in
case it did not relieve. This remark
able dyspepsia remedy will relieve the
worst case Of indigestion, headache,
dizziness, or the general played'out con-
dition that afflicts every one suffering
with stomach trouble. Mi.o-na does not
simply relieve, it aims to cure.
Daniel j. Fry can tell you Of many
well known people in this city who this
remedy has restored TO health, often
after they have tried many other
methods Of treatment with little or no
benefit. No other dyspepsia remedy has
made so large a percentage Of cures as
Mio'na. 1t is so large that Daniel j.
Fry stands ready to refund the price
to any customer whom It does not help.
The best kind of advertising is the
praise Of pleased customer, and there
are hundreds in Salem today praising
Ni'o.na because IL does what it is ad
Vertised to do. A few months ago they
could eat nothing without wondering
what the result would be. Since using
Mi'o'na, they eat what they want and
"hen they want with no fear of suffer
ing This medicine comes in the form
Of a small tablet and is very pleasant tC
,ake' II speedily and permanently re
neves almost all forms Of stomach

a positive guarantee without any re
sulehon, to refund the money IL Il

vantage Of Daniel j. Fry's offer.

CRAWLING The STREETS,

Quite a force Of men under the direc-
ton of the city officials are at work on
the streets preparing for the graveling
of same. This is just the beginning Of
the work that will be done, which will
mean a great deal to our citizens in
Welsh; for with the development of
our country, and the pressing demand
for good roads, it Will only be a very
short time until all of the small towns
will have all their streets grdveled.
This is splendid move and in the right
direction. There is nothing that is
more convincing than to be able to
place right before our people a good
sample of the real thing, and that is of
the kind that will become more plenti.
full in the near future. We certainly
endorse the movement and ask all to
join in to get all of this kind Of work
done that we possibly can; and in the
language of our old time friend and
good roads booster, C. E. Carr, why
muzzle the dog and turn the knocker
loose" Why not reverse the thing
and muZzle the knocker?

was approached by a stranger who
asked him what sort Of fellow Cobb
was. Cobb replied: Cobb is related to
my wife by marriage, and if you don't
object to brief sketch, with all the
technicalities eliminated, 1should say
that in appearance he is rather bulky,
standing six.feet high, not especially
beautiful, light roam IN color with a
black name. His figure is undecided,
but might be called bunchy in places.
He belongs to several clubs, including
the Yonkers Pressing Club and the
Park Hill Democratic Marching Club,
and has always, like his father, who
was a Confederate soldier, voted the
Depocratic ticket. He has had one
wife and one child and still has them.

CITRUS FRUIT GROWING.

The editor of the Journal had the
pleasure last Friday of visit to the
orange farm of Mr.. C. Mclaughlin, of
Kansas City, KanS, situated two miles
north of Woodlawn, and just west of
the Iron Mountain Railway.
This farm is very nicely located on a
high rolling piece of cut.over pine
timber land, and has all the qualities
that are necessary to grow good fruit.
Mr. A. B. LaidloW, the manager of this
farm informed us that there is one
hundred and twenty acres in this tract,
of which there are tweny.Six acres in
fruit trees, all growing finely. Among
them are two varieties of grape fruit,
eight kinds of oranges, peaches of all
kinds, English walnuts, figs, pecans
and plum.
This farm was opened up IS months
ago and some of the trees have fruit on
this year. There are several acres in
corn and about 10 acres in rice. This
farm is watered by a 10.inch Layne &
Bowler we'll 80 feet deep, and pump
driven by so horse power Rumley oil
engine, which furnishes ample water
for all purposes.
The fruit trees show every evidence
OF care, and peas have been Sown in
the orchard which will serve as a cover
crop and at the same time there will be
some remuneration from the peas.
From the way the trees are growing it
will be but short time until this farm
will be furnishing quite large share
OF fruit to this town, which now
comes from other places. This is a
business that will soon be bringing in
large returns on the investment; and
should be splendid example for some
of our friends to follow. We are look.
ing forward to the time when there
will be many more farms of this kind
in our section of the country.

IS A GALA DAY
IN MANY LANDS.

The Fourth of July Is here again,
with the usual round of festivities be-
ginning with the morning rain that
threatens to spoil the day, but never
does, and ending with the glorious
fireworks at night, writes Frederic j.
HaskinS in the Chicago Daily News.
Nor are the orator and the creased pig
conspicuous by their absence. This is
an old, old story here at home, but how
our Independence day is celebrated
abroad, in many different lands, is a
story that is seldom told.
Wherever Americans 90 they take
their Fourth of July with them. 1t is
not too much to say that the strange
folk among whom we carry our nation.
al custom soon learn to watch for the
day with a great deal more interest
than they do the holidays of the other
countries. their own holidays excepted,
of course. Even under this head, how.
ever, our day completes with their own
time honored Publications for the sim
pie reason that many of the countries
have no independence day" of their
own.
Most foreigners are utterly indlffer-
ent to the comings and qoingS of
other nations. they who should be
their brothers, or els they exhibit only
contempt for everything that does not
conform to their own peculiar way of
doing things. This is not so of the
American Fourth of July. They all
seem to have for our great event of
the year feeling that varies from
kindly tolerance to spontaneous enthu-
SiaSm.
This is interesting in the light Of the
fact that so many other lands have
their own independence days. With
the possible exception of Frances,
however, they attract no attention
outside of their own country. Norway
has two independence days, May II and
and June s. The French date is July
IA, which commentaries the fall of
the Bastile in their great revolution.
Other independence days are;
Brazil. September Z; Mexico, Septem-
Der Is; Uruguay, May rs: Chile, Sep
TENDER IS; Colombia, July 20; Haiti
January /; Cuba, February "a. The
Cubans also look to our independence
day as theirs in a sense, since we are
the givers and guardians of their liber.
ty.July 20, the day on which Colombia
makes merry, is the birthday Of Gen.
Simon Bolivar, the venezuelan. who
freed Venezuela, New Granada, Peru
and BOLIVIA from the yoke of Spain.
Bolivar united Venezuela and New
Granada under the name OF Colombia,
of which nation he was president for
nine years, until his death in 1880. Boil.
lvia was new state carved out of
what had been royaliSt Peru and so
named in honor of Bolivar, who was
also its president. His birthday serves
as an additional national festival in

PUBLIC CONVENIENCES
BY OR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1915. by Frank Cranel

One of the worst failures in American
city government is the failure TO provide
suitable public comfort stations, sanl-
tary, frequent, free, ana accessible to all.
To relieve ones self is a necessity of
nature and the passing of waste from
the body is no more 20 be ashamed of
than the taking of nutriment into the
body.
The removal Of human waste is also
vital matter of public health, since from
the lack of proper care Of eXcretions
come some of the most terrible plaques,
with cholera and typhus in the lead.
You would naturally suppose that the
city would provide plenty Of refugees for
the multitudes that throng the streets.
They provide none as rule. The much
cursed beer saloon is the only place
man can go. What the poor women do,
wonder.
When one goes to Paris he is struck,
and shocked, at the numerous booths for
public convenience along the sidewalk.
At first his American prudishness is Of
Tended Soon, however, when he discov-
ers that nobody pays any attention to
them. that they are accepted in the most
matter-of-fact way in the world, and that
they are really of great use to the COM
munity, his mind changes, and he begins
to marvel why New York and Chicago
cannot do likewise.
It's rather delicate subject to write
about, but it's time somebody started
something.
No man would think of building
house without proper sanitary conven-
fences. What would you think of him
if he were too modest to build water
closet in his new home?
No theatre or railway train is con-
structed without some sort of conven-
fence for the public.
Why then should the streets of the
city be without due means of providing
for the natural needs of the people? Has
the city a right to expect saloons, hotels
and department stores to attend to one
of the most important of its public func-
tons?
