Half of Los Angeles may now
truthfully be described as halt
starved. Their lenten imagina-

forward with longing to the pIen.
teous fare of the Easter season.
The tearing down of the heavy
and cumbrous awnings at the
opening of Spring street has added
much to the sightliness of the cor.
ner. 1t Is an example that could
be initiated with profit in many
other quarters.
For an evidence of the economy
of our City Fathers, look at the cost

pretty that everybody will want it
The key is B fat. Price S5e.
The whole population of Los An
geles are diligently searching
amongst their friends to find out
who is the happy possessor OF Q
"polygamous eye." The able ex
pounding Of the science of physiog

much coed, at least. "When fount

Mr.. M. Norton announces, by

our New To. Day, that on and aftel
Saturday next he will sell his i'm

death was caused by = sudden ant
severe attack of that disease.
