JoHxvY, THE OFFICE BoY.

"Is Mr.. Martin in?" said the repre-.

local firm.
why" said the bookkeeper, "that
must be Johnny, the Office boy" and
SO it proved to be.
Johnny, the office-boy, has pen
chant for BELLS He bought the first
chestnut bell owned in this city. A
street-car gong is source of pleasure
to him, and the boom of fre-bells sets
him wild with delight. The dream OF
his life is to hear Great Tom of Lon.
don. and to gaze upon the big bell OF
Moscow.
A short time ago he sent typewrit.
ten letter, on the letterhead Of the firm
for whom he works, asking the price of
bells, particularly large church bells
weighing from 20, to 30, 600 pounds
In reply he received a circular and
price list, with polite letter from the
firm earnestly soliciting his trade.
He acknowledged the receipt of the
price list, but said that he had con-
cluded not to buy at present. Further
more, he said that the prices were too
high, and he could do better here for
the kind of bell he wanted. The best
salesman the bell men had was called
in from the road and started off to San
Francisco to sell the big bell, with in.
structions to secure the contract at any
price. The visitor was that salesman.
Johnny was called in and the letters
shown to him. He at once acknowl-
edged their authorship.
The Eastern man was mad. He had
travelled 5000 miles and spent lot of
money to find he had been sold by bow.
He stormed and raved, and wound I'm
by demanding the discharge of the bow.
The local firm declined to discharge
the urchin, saying that a boy of his
age who could write such good BUSH
ness letters as those shown by the bell
man was just the kind they wanted in
their office. Johnny has been pro.
NOTED, and now occupies desk instead

he gets rich he is going to build a
church and buy it the biggest bell the

flashing OUT THE sTOMACH.

\
This subject was introduced at re-
cent meeting in Boston, of the Suffold
District Medical Society, in paper
read by DR.. E. G. Cutler.
Nature provides for emptying the
stomach of injurious contents by revers-
ing its natural action. The ancient
Greeks ana Romans used mechanical
means for promoting vomiting. We
are now all familiar with the use OF
drugs for the same purpose.
In the eighteenth century an En-
glish physician introduced the use of the
stomach pump. In 1928 DR.. Sommer-
vile of Virginia proposed the use OF
the syphon. Twenty years ago the use
of the stomach-pump was advocated as
q remedial help in dilation of the stom~
ach: but since that time the syphoh
has been preferred for this purpose,
and has become more or less general.
For the benefit of some of our read
ers we may explain that syphon is 3
bent tube, with one end longer than
the other. If the longer end is filed
with water, and the shorter is put be-
meath the surface of fluid, with the
bent of the tube uppermost, as the wa
ter flows out of the long end, that which
is in the vessel will follow it until the
whole is emptied.
In Washing out the stomach, the
stomach is again and again filled with
water, until it flows clear and sweet.
ms cases, medical solutions are
added to the water; in others, after the
irrigation, appropriate remedies are
introduced to advantage; but in most
cases, the simple washing out with
fresh, cool water is sufficient.
In chronic gastric catarrh there is an
abundant secretion of tough mucus,
which, being alkaline, neutralizes the
acid of the gastric juice. It moreover
envelopes the food, and protects it from
the digestive action of the gastric juice.
This, with the resulting fermentation,
gives rise to dilatation of the stomach.
LII OAeAOA0 CdS0S UI10 SGOul6Cu WILL GA
tend to the very bottom of the abdo.
men.
In all cases of dilatation, the food is
with difficulty propelled in the duo
denum, often remaining to ferment and
decompose several days. If it remains
regularly in the stomach over night,
there is reason to suspect dilatation.
DR.. Cutler gave, from his own prac-
tic, an interesting case of cure of dys-
pepsia by simple washing.
Some cases require but a few wash
ings while others demand it daily the
rest of their lives. When one gets used
to it, the operation is not unpleasant.
There are cases in which it would be
harmful. The operation should be
conducted by responsible physician,
thong some patients afterward readily
learn to perform it on Themselves

THE RAILROADS.
Building Projects in the
San Joaquin.
THE LATEST PROPOSITION.
Condition of Freight and Passenger
Business Throughout the
State.

The attention of railroad men is being
turned toward the new railroad which is
to be constructed from Stockton south to
Visalia, and work on which is to be COM
menced within ninety days. Again the
cry goes up that it is Santa Fe scheme
and is intended to connect with that sys-
tenn at some southern point and thus
give it a northern exit. Stockton would
present many advantages for the fulfil
ment Of such a project as there would be
= water outlet, in addition to which there
are many ways by which Oakland and
San Francisco could be reached, one of
the routes suggested being through the
Livermore Valley to Martinez, and this
would open up O rich wheat country.
The other goes via Hayward's to Oak
land. So far it has been overlooked that
this new road may probably be being
built with the object OF connecting with
the Wilbur Road. The idea is perfectly
feasible. The Wilbur Road running
from Rodgers on the A. & P. will run
over Fresno slough, point west ot Fres-
no, and this new road from Stockton will
be just east OF Fresno, so it is very pos
sible that the two lines may be connected
either there or at some other equally
favored point. One thing is certain, and
that is that the Stockton Road at present
has the same characteristics as the
Wilbur Road. Both lines are to be
built by individuals, who say
that they are constructing the lines
in their own interests, and both
roads would supply links that the Atchi-
son system badly needs in it's chain to
the northern part of the State. OF course
even if the connection and consolidation
referred to were made, it would not hin.
der the Wilbur Road from following up
it's originally defined line on the west
side OF the Southern Pacific, and, in fact,
this work is certain to be carried out, as
the line is graded from Hill's Ferry on
the border of Merced and Stanislaus
Counties, to point about fourteen miles
east OF Whites Bridge, west OF Fresno.
The Southern Pacific is not lying idle
while all of these competitors are declar-
ing their intentions of obtaining some OF
the business of that pioneer line. The
road, which it was originally intended to
construct a few miles south from Oak
dale along the foothills, is to be con-
structed through to Merced, and will
pass through Hopetown and close to
Lake Yosemite. Then there is the new
branch road from Tracy to Newmen in
the Eastern San Joaquin Valley, which
went into operation yesterday. This
track is to be pushed on due south over
theHuron road toLakeTulare round which
two lines will run like the prongs of a
fork and connect at its southern extrem-
ity. From this point the new track will
turn slightly east and meet the present
main track at Poso, north of Sumner.
These roads will give the Southern Pa
cific a compete gridiron Of roads over
the San Joaquin Valley, and when the
Wilbur or any other road puts in an ap-
pearance it will find that it will not have
matters quite all its own way.

for mile. Ii the pipe in addition costs
$500 per running foot, he will find that
the work will cost about $4,000 per
mile, and that 5000, 900 will cover the ex-
pense to the ocean, assuming the whole
distance at seventeen miles. If the sew
age can be sold (and the probability is
that such will be found to be the case),
this route will become self-sustaining.
The same can be said OF route via Yer
non and Compton, to some slough be-
tween Wilmington and Long Beach. But
can the same be said of the Centinela
route. We pause to give Mr.. Eaton an
opportunity to reply to this question.

THE TRAFFIC SITUATION.
Business Rather Quiet Throughout
the Country.

Mr.. Charles E. Fairbank, Traffic Agent
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Railway, with headquarters at San
Francisco, arrived in this city yesterday.
Mr.. Fairbank is well known in rail-
road circles on the Coast, as he was asso-
ciated with the opening of the Central
Pacific Offices in San Francisco in 1869.
The railroad he represents is one of the
most substantial lines in the United
States, as it operates its own 5000 miles
OF track, has no leased lines and is not
in debt. In response to question by a
HERALD reporter Mr.. Fairbank said !:
Railroading is rather quiet in
the east just now, but this is to be ex-
pected on account Of the imminence of
the Presidential election. The same in
huence is affecting business on the Pa
cific Coast. but the reaction after the
result is declared will give compensation
for the at present short receipts. A no.
ticeable thing throughout this State
though is that the local traffic in all parts
of it is steadily on the increase, ami this
is good evidence of the vast increase of
permanent population. In San Fran.
cisco, although business is rather quiet,
the railroad returns are keeping
up With previous years and the
annual showing will not, think,
mark any falling off at all. There is a
pause, SO to speak, and this is caused
by the meeting of the Transcontinental
Association and its unsatisfactory work
at San Francisco. AS soon as the St.
Paul decisions are announced and pro-
mulgated there is no doubt but that bust
ness will soon spring up to it's former
standard. The rapid strides made by
this Southern country are watched with
interest aud establishment by the resi-
dents Of the northern part Of the State
and the day is not far distant when San
Diego and San Pedro will become as great
distributing points as the city of San
Francisco.
Talking about improvements going on
in the Bay City, Mr.. Fairbank said that
the addition being made to the Southern
Pacific Offices on Fourth and Townsend
streets is rapidly approaching compile
tion- The walls of the additional story
are all fixed and everything is ready for
raising the roof.
