The shoe Club Scheme.
The suit club scheme bad no sooner got fairly
started In Oakland when shoe clubs began 10
materallZe. One of these. nown as the Co
operative Snoe Club, which was organized in
April by T. +. Grindell, with headquarters at
10111a Washington street, has gone under and
hundreds OF men are mourning losses Oh small
sums.
The scheme was to pay in % cents each week,
and the bait held out that the investor would
stand a chance of winning SO pair OF shoes at
a small cost. or at any rate a the end OF tue
twentieth week he would gel his So shoes.
AS great number OF these clubs were organ
lied the profits of the managers each week
very snug; the more so as IL is stated the draw
ings were not squarely conducted. Ii was
urged that as a number drew pllZe that num-
Der would be dropped, but 1t is noticed that the
same number drew frequently In many OF the
clubs.
The manager of the concern was R. E. Coady,
and few days ago, with his wife, he took a
trip TO The springs. He has not since Deem
heard from.

Drunken Cows.
There Is a fight on between the Brewers and
the Board of Health regarding the feeding of
brewers grain to cows. In this industry the
brewery men have built up good trade and
they look with i'll favor on the interference by
the Health Board
At the last me ting of the board a petition
was received from brewer. who begged mat
the ordinance prohibiting the feeding OF brew
ers' grain be not enforced until the harmfulnesS
of such feed could be fully settled by lnVest1
cation.
DR.. Pierce said that there was no question as
to the i'll effects of this grain on cows, and In
Eastern cities Its use as COW feed was for
hidden. The doctor said the grain begins TO
ferment as soon as 1t leaves the brewery and 1t
acts as an unnatural stimulant on the animals
Ii increases the flow Of milk, but the animals
soon become sickly and die. The milk thus
Obtained, says scientific authority, is unhealthy
too and should not be used.
