any woman's life.
Health is an inheritance due to every
child and within the reach of every
parent to bestow. 1t is something that
costs no money and is more precious
than a mountain of diamonds
The child's health depends almost
wholly on the mothers, not only before
its birth but afterwards. A sick mother
can't properly care for her child's health.
A sick mother sometimes bears healthy
child, but it isn't to be expected. Maybe
the baby will possess the appearance of
health, but will lack stamina. Maybe
innate weakness will develop in after
years.
Every woman should be particularly
careful of her health during the period
of gestation-when the child is really a
part of herself.
During all this time, she should keep
her body strong and pure and she should
take proper precautions against her time
of labor. For this purpose DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is prescribed. 1t
has been used in thousands of cases,
with the most gratifying results. 1t is
a tonic to the whole body, but particu-
lar1y to the organs distinctly feminine.
1t cures all female troubles and pro-

yesterday afternoon. While we believe
that the people of this city ought to and
will elect j. w. Wilson, the Republican
candidate, it is no more than right to say
duties of his Office to the best of his
ability and has made as good Mayor as
anyone could have done, handicapped by
a Board of Trustees which was opposed
to him on almost every measure that
he proposed and doing all in its power to

URBAN AND RURAL POPULATION.

Perhaps but few people in California
realize the fact that more than two-thirds
of the inhabitants of this State reside in
towns and cities. The census of 1890
gives TO the State of California l,209, 130 in
habitants. OF these, the same census
shows that there reside in the cities,
towns and villages 619, 167 people, leaving
of the rural population but 3S8, ,963. This
is but little more than one-fourth of the
entire population of the State.
Approximately it may be said that 10
per cent. of the people of California may
be classed as urban population and 80
per cent. as rural. 1t may be doubted if
any other part Of the world, outside OF
the densely populated manufacturing
districts of the old world, and some of
the Eastern States, can show a record
comparable with this. We do not present
it as merit, but quite otherwise. We
are not manufacturing people. We are
distinctively an agricultural and min
ing people. The proportion OF urban to
rural population is entirely abnormal.
Nor do we believe that it can long be
maintained without very serious disaster.

TINE FOR REPUBLICANS TO TAKE
CHARGE.

It ia notorious fact that the Board of
Trustees during the past two years be-
cause of its disagreements with the
Mayor, and its unhappy division within
itself, has greatly retarded the progress
of the city. In that board the Republi-
cans have been in a minority and praoti-
cally tied hand and foot.
Not only has the Mayor been handi-
capped by the inharmony, but the USE
fulness of the board has itself been seri-
ously impaired along all lines. 1t is not
necessary to go into details on this sub
ject. They are too well known and too
scandalous. 1t is a matter admitting of
no denial that had the Mayor and the
Trustees been in cordial harmony con-
and privileges the city would have greatly
benefited.
The evil we thus indicate has been the
direct result OF board with majority
responsible to no party, and not owing
allegiance 10 strong organization. What
then should the people now do? Elect
the Republican nominees for Trustees.
and thus give Mr.. Wilson, who will be
elected Mayor, board in harmony with
him and responsible TO organization and
the people.
The Mayor nominates 20 the board
many appointments. These must be
confirmed by the board, and it requires
ak votes to make an appointment effect
i've. When it comes to the creation of an
agency or Office deemed necessary to the
public interest, as for instance in the case
of the Sanitary Inspector. 1t requires
seven votes.
Now, then, in this Republican city.
with well-defined Republican majority,
there should be elected TO the Board OF
Trustees the nominees OF the Republican
party, in harmony with the Republican
Mayor, and thus erect an effective work.
ing force for the best interests of the city.
Can any reason whatever be advanced
why the new board should be hodge
podge. with Republicans in the minority.
as is the present one? Is there any one
with an ounce of brains who will venture
to assert that the mixture and inharmony
In the present board has been beneficial
TO the city in comparison with board

ence, the right, and frequently the duty,
of voters to vote independently Of party

worthy reason to be advanced against the
