Original Creamerie Proprietors Say
Other Restaurants Are Pooled
Against Them.

The restaurant business continues to be
full of agitation. The recent failures in
that line have led certain leading caterers
to take steps for self-protection. The fol-
lowing agreement was in circulation yester-
day and subscribed to by the firms and
individuals mentioned in the following:
We. the undersigned restaurant-keepers in
San Frsncisco. for the welfare OF the commu-
nifty and benefit to the trade, have come to the
conclusion that henceforth we Will not deal
with or purchase from any firm or dealer that
will settle bills for less than their face value
unless miri eating circumstances are proven to
the satisfaction OF the undersigned.

that they sold out that place to Marston

ments were laid 100 cents to the
dollar and now we are square. Two
attachments were levied, and after
settling we consulted our attorney, who
told us we had done an unnecessary act,
and could have waited until the bills were
due.
Collector J. J. Rauer told me day or
so ago in my own office that he had been
offered $500 by the proprieJors of several
restaurants about town if he would
close us down. This seems to me
to be a very low trick of business
jealousy. | also heard that these restau-
rants had gone around among the fruit
and coffee merchants and butchers saying
that if they did not insist on our paying
100 cents on the dollar the restaurants
would boycott them.
There is too much money, however,
back of both Mr.. Davis and myself for us
to be hurt by any methods of that de-

glng, POISONING your poor SUOMI
ach in your efforts to make that

What ridiculous proposition
it is, to be trying to make the
stomach give up it's vitality to
feed other weak organs +? That's
just what you are trying to do,
for your drugs never get farther

give it strength ? "No, no, no"

us. 1t is life, or the basis of life.

Interesting Game to Be Played on New
Years Day.
A match game of football i'll be played
at Central Fark on New Years day, COM
mencing at 2:30 P. NJ, between teams from
Company A and Company c of the League
of the Cross Cadets.
This will not be the first occasion on
which these two companies have con-
tested for supremacy on the football field.
On Thanksgiving day last year most ex-
citing game was played between them,
which resulted in q tie. neither side having
scored point.
On Admission day they again met at
Schuetzen Park and each scored the same
number of points. Consequently the CON-
ing game is looked forward to with the
greatest interest by the members and
friends of the cadets.
The players have been training hard for
some time and both sides promise that
there will be no tie this time. The teams
