RURAL BREVlTIES.

You can run in debt but you have to
crawl to get ont.
FERTILITY increases from the north
side to the south side of the farm.
IT is a poor crop that will not pay for
keeping an account of its cost and re.
ceipts.
IT is the last load of manure that
feeds your crop. All before that feeds
the land.
KEEP the barnyard cleared up. A
nail in horses hoof may cause you
more trouble than it would to keep the
yard clean for life time.
BURN nothing that can be rotted by
blowing it down or burying it in the
manure pile. One exception to this
weeds that have seeds mature enough
to grow. Burn them root and branch.
BETTER farming is to be secured by
more intelligent effort on the part of
the individual. Better laws can be had
only through the organized efforts of
the producers at the caucuses, conven.

KEEP cheerful spirit, stop all
wastes, study the possibilities of your
family and the demand of your market,
and take courage, for we must make
the best of the times that are here ii
we are to succeed.

Several hay racks are illustrated
here which may fill the requirements.
The first is in common use for cart or
wagon, being made of 2x3-inch scant-
ing bolted together at the angles.
The chief precaution necessary in max
ing this rack is to make it upright
enough to prevent the wheels from
rubbing it and SO increasing the draft
for the team. The objection to this
style is its height and the increased
work of high pitching in harvest.

sawed to make the end cross pieces the

Private and Nervous Diseases and
Their Successful Treatment by
an Eminent Practitioner

In all large cities there are, from time to
time, a great many specialists who make it a
practice to size up" place, and on not find
ing their practice as lucrative as their hopes
would like to realize, pull up their stakes and
depart for pastures new. Many of these self
styled doctors, during their brief stay, have
made considerable money, but when they find
that their services are not SO valuable as they
pretended and their victims ere beginning to
find out h ow beautifully they have been duped,
they, like the Arab, quietly fold their tents and
steal away. Hence it becomes the duty of any
suffering from any organic disruption to be
careful and consult reputable and conscien-
tious physician whose standing in his specially
is unquestioned and whose skill and long
residence is well known and can be vouched
for.
Among the specialists in Los Angeles of long
standing is Dr. P. NJ. White. The doctor arrived
in Los Angeles in the year 1885, and has re-
sided here ever since, and is the oldest sexual
disease specialist in the city. He is graduate
of the Medical College of Cincinnati, Ohio,
having graduated with high honors During
his professional career in Cincinnati he was
the visiting physician to the Ohio Charity and
Insane Asylum, which is located near Cincin-
natl. DR.. White has for the past ten years
made study OF SEXUAL and NERVOUS dis
ease and may be regarded as an expert in this,
his speciality. The doctor is a man of extreme
independence as far as his profession is con-
cerned. He refuses to affiliate with any med
ieal clique or association, but attends strictly
to his chosen specialties, and has the means
financially and the ability intellectually to
conduct his profession to his own satisfaction
and that of those directly concerned
DIR. WHITES REPUTATION
AS specialist during the many years he has
been located here is excellent He has effected
many marvellous cures not alone in this city
but in other parts of Southern California, where
he has treated special cases with signal ability
The doctors office is at 1913 n. Main street
He occupies rooms "a, 25 and 26, which are
elegantly furnished. In his rooms are all the
modern and improved electrical and instru
mental appliances for the relief of 81. cial COM
plants OF men or women. Another noteworthy
object is an imported Paris skeleton, received
through the Aloe Surgical Instrument Co. OF
st. Louis accurately demonstrating the seat of
the great nerve centers and origin of nerves
therefrom, affected in certain sexual weak
nesses; and also large collection of Persian
representing, true to life, all dis
eases OF the skin and genito-urinary organs
Dr. White obtains his medicines from the
leading druggists in Los Angeles and New
York, and all his prescriptions are carefully
compounded in his private laboratory. Those
suffering from any of the above Affections will
do well to call on DR.. White and seek cure.

CITY FINANCES.
Recommendations Adopted Yesterday
by the Committee.

by the Committee.
AT It's regular weekly meeting held
yesterday morning the finance commit
tee adopted the following report, for
presentation to the council on Monday
next:
We have examined the report OF the
city auditor, OF the balances OF his
books for the month of December; also
report of the same officer as to the con-
dition of the funds for the week ending
January 10th, 1891, and recommend they
be filed.
Recommend that the communication
from the city attorney relative to the
salaries of retiring officers, also from the
street superintendent, relative to the
salary of the late street upeIintendent,
also communication from the fire COM
missioners, relative to salary OF EN-
ployees of the fire department, be filed.
Recommend that the communication
from the city treasurer recommending
that certain bonded Indebtedness of the
city be refunded, be referred to the city
attorney.
In the matter of the petition from
James McCarn, No. 26, we have care
fully examined this matter and find that
lot Sc of the Archibald tract was doubly
assessed for the year 1SS9-90, and we
therefore recommend that tax sale GER
tificate No. 3S71a, for the year lSS9-9O,
be ordered marked cancelled and re-
deemed OF record in the Office OF the city
clerk, and that the city tax collector be
instructed to issue no tax deed to nj.
Harmon on account OF said sale.
In the matter of the petition from w.
Lamb, No. 10, the city assessor has GER
titled to this committee that the assess
ment complained OF in petition is an
erroneous one we therefore recommend
that tax sale certificate No. S94, for the
year 1SS9.90, be ordered marked can
celled and redeemed of record by the
clerk for the reason that the mortgage
described in said tax sale certificate
never existed.
Recommend that petition No. 1046,
from w. and G. X. Ward, be returned
to petitioners to attach thereto receipts
showing the payment of their taxes, and
we further recommend that hereafter
in all similar cases petitioners be re-
uuired to attach their tax certificates to
the petitions before being presented to
the council.
In the matter OF the collection OF taxes
for the present year, we recommend that
the city auditor be instructed to ascer-
tain and compute the aggregate amount
of the 10 per cent. penalty to be added
to the unpaid portion OF the first hall OF
this years taxes, and report the same
to this committee, in order that the tax
collector may be charged with the came.
After more careful examination as
to the necessity for deputies in the
offices OF the city treasurer and city
auditor, we are of the opinion that it
would be an injustice to said officers to
deprive them of their clerical help. We
therefore recommend that an ordinance
be drawn providing a deputy for each
of said officers, at monthly salary OF
- each.
