Possibly the attention of very few mothers
has been directed to the importance of the
position of their children's beds. With GER
tain orderly careful mothers a small alcove
adjoining their sleeping room is generally
considered suitable leaving the main room
so much freer for other uses. But to what
fate are we consigniuE our child when we OK
lie him TO the alcovei Here turks all the
stale, vitiated, or, we might say, dead air,

tendency to colds, and languil, oppressed

from the refreshed awakening in pare air.
1t has been demonstrated that the beds
nearest the walls in hospitals have the high
est rate of mortality, they being subject to
influence Of polluted air similar to the alcove
Of the bedroom. The existence of bad Nenti-

has been so well demonstrated that it has al

That is the Place For Us. Hannah, Said
He When He Saw tho Corn,

Among recent arrivals from the east
are a man and his wife from Southern
Illinois. The man was in the Office of
D. Freeman, Esq, yesterday, and told a
funny story on himself. He was up in
Chicago when Ben Truman began to I'M
pack his big corn, pumpkins, and other
products sent to the permanent exhibit.
He looked on open-mouthed at the
things as they came out of the boxes,
and at last he began to give expression
to his thoughts. He said to Truman:
"Do you expect us to believe that
these things grow out of doors in the
natural way in your country"

asked Truman.

it, will pay all the expenses of your

At the close of MI. Truman's address,
the skeptical granger from the swamps
of Egypt turned to his wife and said: IF
that is true, that is the place for us,

And sure enough, here with Hannah,
to look up the cornfields and pumpkin
patches. He went down last night
to Cerritos, to see whether the big
pumpkins and yellow corn grow in the
open field or under glass. And that is
what is the matter with Hannah.

CHICAGO EXHIBIT.
President Marvel Tells What He
Thinks of It.

Mr.. Marvel, president OF the Santa
Fe Railroad company, is most enthusi-
astlc oyer the display Southern Califor-
MIA is making at the permanent exhibit
al Chicago. He, this morning, tele-
graphed Mr.. d. Freeman, chairman OF
the exhibit committee here, that thou
sands of people were viewing with
astonishment the wonderful exhibit
from this fertile and unequalled section,
and that this practical illustration and
proof of the varied and valuable pro-
ducts of Southern California would
bring thousands of home-seekers to our
golden coast. He says the exhibit will
be formally opened today in grand style.
Major Truman has written to Mr..
Freeman to the same effect, and says:
"While Los Angeles and San Diego
counties have done well, Pomona has
covered herself with glory by her grand
display, and Orange county has done
almost as WE'LL" Two carloads for the
exhibit have already reached Chicago,
and the contents have been placed in
the hall. This grand work is giving
eastern people practical proof OF what
Southern California can produce, and
will completely counteract the bad effect
heretofore produced by slanderous lies
concerning this section that have been
so diligently circulated by some of the
eastern papers.
Mr.. Marvel sent the following tele-
gram yesterday to D. Freeman, Esq, in
reference to the arrival of the second
carload of stuff:
CHICAGO, Oct. 10.
d. FREEMAN, CHAIRMAN: Truman says
you may say to Nolan that he shall re-
main there until he is perfectly ready to
come and has perfected organization.
He will write Nolan fully. The second
car came in Friday. Nothing was brok-
en- or decayed. The formal opening
will be on the 14th inst.

The Alleged Trade Between Frank
Kelly and McLachlan.

Ae~~>>
Kelly and McLachlan.
A story. was circulated yesterday
among politicians which, if true, will eff
fectually kill all possible chance, if any
ever existed, of the election of James
McLachlan, the Pasadena candidate on
the Republican ticket for district attor-
ney. Mr.. McLachlan, during the ad-'
ministration of District Attorney Frank
Patricio Kelly, has been that officers
deputy in Pasadena. 1t is now asserted
that the trade was made before the con-
vention met, that if McLachlan got the
nomination and was elected, Mr.. Kelly
was to receive the appointment of dep
uty at Pasadena. For some reason or
other, the Pasadena Republicans are
not happy at this prospect, and there is
general kick among the party leaders,
who believe that Mr.. Kelly's name can
not be profitably used in this cam
paign.
