NERVOUS DEBILITY.
Its Ravases on the Human syste

IT'S Ravages on the Human System.
Nervous debility is probably the
means of causing more misery and crush
ing more hopes than any trouble that
human flesh is heir to. It is estimated
that two-thirds of the men Of the pres
sent time are victims of nervous debil-
ity. and of this number less than half
realize it. They know they have gloomy
thoughts, a depression of mind, an i'm
paired memory, a stupid and dull head
ache, and at times feel extremely weak,
but attribute it to any other cause but
the right one They feel languid, irri-
table. restless, but they cannot explain
why. How many thousand business
men have in their mad rush for wealth
exhausted their nerve force. How
many more are in the same condition
from the result of abuses and indul-
gences. There is limit to the strength
of the human body. IT violinist
grinds away on one string for great
length of time it is bound by all natural
laws to give way 1t certainly should
not require ton of brains for one to re-
alize that nervous debility is not going
to cure itself The dying consumptive
generally feels better when death is
near. He is simply deluded by false
hope. So is the debilitated man who
thinks nature alone will cure him. GAL
vanism, electricity and hydropathic
treatment have been the means of
recreating the nerve power and vigor
in thousands of men who have been
treated at the Cosmopolitan Dispensary,
Stockton, Ellis and Market streets.
There are specialists on their staff of
physicians who have made the weakness
of men life study. Many unfortunates
before taking this method of treatment
have had nothing to look forward to but
a life of absolute misery. Mr.. George
Carpenter, Of Dixon, Cal, was victim.
He writes "For twenty years I have

NECESSITY OF UTILIZING OUR WATER
RESOURCES.

City Engineer Dockweiler is authority
for the statement that eight thousand
inches of water are daily running to
waste in the Los Angeles river. This is
little lees than crime, which is en-
phasized in year of delayed rainfall,
like the present.
The Los Angeles river is by no means
the only instance of streams whose waste
waters ought to be utilized. The same
thing may be said of the San Gabriel
river, new and old, the Arroyo Honda,
and, further to the south, the Santa
Ana, and still Others, like the Tejunga.
The surplus waters from these streams
ought not only to be reservoired, but
these twatercourses should all be pro-
vided with submerged dams, to bring
the subterranean waters to the surface.
The Wright law governing the forma-
ton of irrigating districts affords con-
venient means for developing these la
tent water resources. The bonds issued
under this law have been decided to be
constitutional. They form an inviting
medium for eastern and European in
vestment. Running twenty or thirty
years, carrying an attractive rate OF in
terest, and being non -assessable, they
possess all the characteristics which
would recommend them to conservative
investors.
The value OF irrigated as contrasted
with non-irrigated lands is very appar-
ent in number of places contiguous to
Los Angeles. Within a few miles of
this city lands without a water right
can be leased for couple of dollars an
acre; while lands equally as good, with
irrigating facilities, rent for from $50 to
$50 an acre. When General Alexander,
at the head of a commission appointed
by the government of the United States,
went to the south of Europe to investi-
gate the irrigating system of that coun-
try, he found that irrigated lands sold
for $1,000 an acre, while lands without
water right could be bought for from
$50 to $40 an acre.
The water which City Engineer
Dockweiler says is running to waste in
the Los Angeles river, if properly res
ervoired, could be made to irrigate one
hundred thousand acres of the most
fruitful land under the sun. There is
scarcely an acre of soil in the Cahuenga
foothills that could not, with ample irri-
eating facilities, be made to yield from
$500 to $1,000 an acre yearly.
The possibilities of remunerative pro-
duction that lie ahead for Los Angeles if
our people shall awake to the necessity
and profit OF saving our abundant water
supply are almost inconceivable. Why
we have neglected this source of wealth
in the past is something inscrutable.
With the precious fluid stored in capa-
cious reservoirs our orchardists and
truck gardeners would be independent
of the seasons. We might very we'll
have borrowed lesson in this respect
from our enterprising San Bernardino
neigEbors. 1t is well, however, to bear
in mind the homely old adage that cts
never too late to mend"

ELKINs is a genius. 1t is hardly likely
that there is one other living American
who has been so wholly given over to
politics or who ever gained So much
from this pursuit in the same period. In
about two years he got riotously rich in
the district attorneys office in New
Mexico. With this great opening sue
cess he soon became the partner OF the
greatest operators in the whole range of
speculation. But his political ways are
the most surprising of all. The darling
pursuit of his life is politics. He shapes
all of his business chances so that they
are brought to bear on this main
ambition. 1t blossoms in all the
atmosphere around him. He broods
over possible political schemes; he
babbles of new fields. A correspondent
who has recently been down in Virginia
studying the background of the new
war secretary's life, says that there
isn't one station on his railroad down
there whose name has not political
significance. They are all named for
political characters. Even while the
correspondent was paying for local
fare at the window OF station, he
heard a man call out for "a ticket from
Elkins to Blaine, with a stopover at
Harrison" tfs.t 'eft

An qtaaaGsuol offer
tho one that's made by the propri-

Unusual, but made in good faith.
It's a reward Of $500 for an incura-
BILE case of Catarrh. If you have
one, the moneys for you. But you
can't know whether you have one,

That's the reason the money can be

proprietors are willing to take it.
The symptoms of catarrh are,
headache, obstruction of nose, dis
charges falling into throat, some-
times profuse, watery, and acrid, at
others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody, putrid and often

As HI STANDS NOW.

Sir Edward Jenkinson, President
of the International Company, was
interviewed in San Diego the other
day and impaired the following in
formation: "There is one thing that
/ would like the public enlightened
upon, and that is as to the route Of
the railway being constructed in
Lower California. The exact condi-
ton of affairs regarding this road are
these: We have a concession from
the Mexican authorities which re.
quires us to build main trunk line
from San Quintin across the Colorado
river leading on to Sonora, with the
object of connecting the Lower Cali
fornia railroad railroad systems with
those in the Republic of Mexico, and
with branch line to Yuma. This
we intend to do, and, as you are
aware, have already commenced on
the work. We have also a concession
from the Mexican authorities to build
a branch line from Tia Juana to a
connection with the branch line to
Yuma, and this connection will be
made at or near Trinidad. The sur
veys for the whole of the proposed
lines have been completed, and [ have
them with me now on my return to
England. These have yet to be pass
ed upon by our company; also the
estimates of the cost of construction,
and when these are agreed upon we
shall then commence the work of
securing the necessary money to com-
plete the work. All these matters
consume time, but I may say that it
is a foregone conclusion that the
main and branch lines spoken of will
be built. AS to our plans generally,
they are moving along very nicely,
and the report that our company was
about to withdraw from their opera
tions in Lower California has not a
grain of truth in it"
