A SECRET?

Does it concern your health, and all that de-
ponds upon your health
Does ii trouble and perplex you until your
head aches and, your heart seems too full to
hold it?
Is your manhood trembling in the balance?
Do you feel the need OF sympathy, counsel
and aid 4?
Then come to DR.. Sweany, and, in sacred con-
fidence, tell him all.
He will do more than help you keep your Sc
cret. He will help you to forget it.
Diseases fully cured soon cease to be even
matters of memory.
Don't confess to your family. It will only
cause them shame and grief.
Don't tell your closest FREUD. Friendships
are not always lasting, and the temptation TO
gossip is great
If you cannotcome to San Francisco write DR..
Sweany fully and freely, with the assurance
that your letter will be kept carefully concealed
from curious eyes.

THE UNION MUSKET CLUB.
It's Monthly Shoot Held Yesterday at
Schuetzen Park-A Prospective
CHALLENGE.

But few marksmen were at Schuetzen
Park yesterday, and the only regular
match was the medal shoot of the Union
Musket Club. In that shoot the first
class medal was won by F. B. Moulton on
a score of AZ. The third class medal went
to T. S. Archer on So. There were no Sec
ond class men shooting.
Other scores made were: Robinson 46,
Kelley As, Walden "A, Dawson A and Null
Ter A.
Within the present month team of ten
men from the Union Club will challenge a
team of ten from the Columbia Rifle and
Pistol Club. 1t is hoped if the match
comes off that the record for team scores
will be broken.
Those who will probably form the Union
team are f. B. Moulton, J. F. Robinson, j.
Jones, J. Dawson, A. N. Bogen, H. R.
Brown, f. Muller, John Utschig ST., John
Utschig Jr. and F. s. Kelley.

MARGARET ToUCHARD,
President of California Club.

Mrs. Margaret Touchard IS an enthu-
siast on the subject of California products
and their excellence in right hands. Her
speciality for some time has been putting
up iellies and tomatoes, and in the course
of her experience she has supplied the
Palace Hotel, Stanford University, Army
Commissary, Bohemian and University
clubs, Pacific Mail Steamship Company
and other institutions.
Mrs Touchard, delicately reared in a
Southern family, has natural genius tor
cookery. She stands firm for her theory
that California is alone in her products,
and that their qualities can only be brought
out by distinctive treatment. California
-four, she says, can make unsurpassed
"crusty bread"; our vegetables have more
water in them than have Eastern vege-
tables; our water has more saccharine !;
fruits grown by irrigation require special
treatment; there are at least $50 different
receipts for cooking California dried
fruits; there is nothing equal to our Cali
fornia red and white wines.
These are some of the points to which
Mrs. Touchard referred in speaking of the
banquet yesterday.
while not wishing in any way to de-
preciate Eastern goods" said Mrs. Tou-
chard, II desire to emphasize the fact that
Eastern people do not understand Califor-
MIA products. 1t is no use bringing out
Eastern culinary experts 10 InlS coast 10
instruct us in preparing California foods.
ALI our products are sui generis, and re-
quire distinct treatment in order to bring
out their surprising excellencies. For in
stance, l have found that the ordinary
cooking of fruits grown under irrigation
drives out the delicate flavor, and renders
them comparatively tasteless. This may
be obviated by the introduction of heated
air at the bottom of boilers, by process
which have discovered. This is only one
instance.
ION the other hand, California products
are not so well known as they might be if
they were judiciously advertised. Eastern
manufacturers of specially good articles,
such as baking powders, sauces, preserves,
ETC., find it worth while to steadily adver-
tise their wares in this State. We may
have just as good or better, but they must
be known to be appreciated.
81 think the California banquet will be a
great success, although the time for prepa-
ration is not too long. There will be emil
nent speakers at table, and the idea is to
found free cooking-school if possible,
whence may go forth good California cooks.
Such movement would be wide-reaching
for good in California homes, as well as
among California producers"
A large quantity of common native
products have already been offered Mrs.
Touchard for use at the forthcoming ban
oIIet.

In reply to the request in the above letter
that Mrs. Margaret Touchard will conduct and
serve a California banquet, showing that this
State produces the richest and best of every
thing needed in the most elaborate menu, she
has considered and fully discussed the matter
with her friends, and decided to comply with
the request. After looking around to fnd
suitable place, some of the ladies suggested
the banquet-room of the California Hotel
would be most suitable, and decided that the
9th of the coming month (September) the
pleasurable event will take place.

Misnanagement.

Last week our columns were given up TO
a few remarks on lack OF calculatiOns-this
seems to be an exhaustless topic and here is
what another writer tells us on the subject.
She SAYS. One of the secrets If being able
to have ones plans frustrated without Sc
rious Inconvenience is in being forehanded
Never allow work to accumulate if it is pos
sible to do it. Keep everything in such Or
der that a little neglect will not show. o.
cupv spare moments of the days that are
not very busy ones, in doing work little
ahead of the time when It'll actually needed
Then one will be the mistress, and not the
slave of her housewJrk, and the true work
of the homemaker will be accomplished.
But one may even be slave to the idea
of being forehanded; and many house
keeper frets herself nearly to death in order
to keep everything done ahead OF time, SO
that there will be no accumulation of work.
It becomes almost a mania, and though
each seasons work is done 20 long ahead of
time that she could give herself weeks of
complete rest, she seems only to get 1t done
in order to begin the next and thus keeps
herself as much slave to her household
work as if it were always behindhand.
The only advantage in doing work ahead
of time is that one may do it easily, and at
such convenient times that it will hardly
seem to be work. If the habit becomes so
fixed that it seems a necessity, the work has
become the master, and the mistress of the
house is the slave.
And this simply veri6es our oft repeated

the story of the old street lamp that loved
the stars and tried to initiate their shining,
and how it received from them the gift of
telling all it remembered and enjoyed, that
others might enjoy 1t, too. To have this
gift was her third wish, for she thought,
what is the use of any pleasure if you cant
tell someone else of it? What you cannot
share with others is only half delight.
These were the three wishes made that
night so long ago, and would you think it
very wonderful if you were told that in time
they all came true? The same love that
prompted the little maiden 8 first and Sec
ond wishes, to this day made her heart beat
quicker, when someone who has known and
loved both mother and daughter says to the
latter: "You are like your dear mother"
And to decide about the third wish is left to
those who read the stories and sketches from
her pen, that tell to others the things she
herself remembers and enjoys, - Ladies'

Three Wishes.

The sky that night shone beautifully. The
stars looked like so many little holes in the
nights dark canopy, through which light
brighter than sunshine streamed. The three
stars in Orion's belt ,l1ttered like Almonds
and sent down their bright rays to rest on
The head of a little maiden l used to know.
She stood at the window, looking out on the
cold white earth in its wintry sleep, and her
ewes followed the rays up the ladder of light
to the three shining stars that were their
source. She remembered how she had
heard that in some lands they were called
the Three Kings, and the Spanish sailors
say he who sees the Three Kings is sailing
on the right track. Someone had told her,
too. that if YOU look straight up at the stars
and make three good wishes they will all
come true some day. What did she wish
most of all? So many things that she
thought 1t would be impossible for them all
to be realized, for she would love to be sweet
and amiable. she would love to be kind and
good-and to be beautiful. And there were
the three wishes gone already and so many
more to come. She thought of way to ar
range it, Her mother was her ideal OF all
that was fair and lovely, sweet and good, so
she made her first wish include all this by
saying:
II wish may be like my mother" And
the second was: THAT may remember my
first wish and make 1t come true. There
was good, sound philosophy in making this
second wish after the first one, for we all
know that if we are very anxious for thing
the best way to get it is to do what we can
ourselves to obtain it. The very tact of her
wishing to be like her mother would be the
best assurance that she would become like
her.
Now she came to the third wish, and
thought of many things that it would be
pleasant to get in so easy way. But one
has high aspirations when looking up at the
stars, and she could not bring herself to
wish for any of the things that at some other
time might be desirable, She remembered

summer COOKERY.
AS the prolonged summer days draw near
it behOoves us to bestir ourselves in the
cooking department of our home in order
to overcome the monOtOny. 1t is said the
hOusekeeper becomes student of cookbook
literature and searches for ali the novelties,
and we'll she may for there is certainly a
constant anxiety haunting the hOusekeeper
as to what she shall prepare. 1t was the
writer's privilege to visit in the home OF a
newly welded pair not long since and rs we
glanced about the model little home with
its appointments, perfect in every depart
ment, we'could not refrain from drawing
comparisons. Take home tina has been
made, say twenty years and enter it-yOu
see perhaps the faint resemblance to neat
ness and order but you cannot disguise the
fact that time is the only thing that will tell
on hOusekeepers, they all start out in full
accord 20 the models but look along twenty
wears hence and where are the nodes?
