The ladies of the Little Sisters Infant
Shelter held their annual meeting yester-
day afternoon at 512 Minna street, for the
purpose CT hearing the reports of officers
and the election of directors.
This institution, conducted by charitable
ladies who number sixty-four and con-
tribute to the support of the shelter, re-
ceives the children of parents who work
out during the day and takes care of them
at an expense of 5 cents day, giving
them two meals daily and looking after
their welfare, besides giving them kinder
garten instruction. Children are also re-
ceived and cared for by the month for
parent or parents who cannot by reason of
their occupation pay them attention.

pointing to tot of 7, lis little fellow
who is motherless, and his father is en-

leaves him here, and every time he comes

"If they all did as he does" said Miss
Josie Henley, the kindergarten teacher, lit
would be we'll, but there are some parents
who leave their children here and never
come to see them. 1t is too bad that there
are some people who are SO heartless as to
forget their children. Yet, while these
parents do not seem to care for their little
ones, they will not consent to the placing
of their children with people who would
gladly adopt them. A well-to-do couple,
who have splendid home in San Mateo
County, wanted to adopt little five-year-
old, and she would have had all the COM
forts that any one could desire, but the
mother would not hear to it, yet she never
comes here to see her, and for more than
year has not contributed to its support,
and the good ladies who conduct this place
have to Keep her.

children here until they are years of age
but we have one little girl who is now
8 years DID," added Mrs. Fell. ave

have to keep her."
The meeting vas presided over by Mrs
H. E. Fisher, president, who in her report
reviewed the work of the year and ex-
pressed the hope that in the near future
the society would be able to enlarge its
scope for good and with contributions that
are. to be paid in at no distant day new

the Directory, and there is no fear for the
future. However, we cannot get along with
out their earnest cooperation. Neither State

The downfall of snow and the CORE

most chilling effect on the favorites at the

weeks before numbers of the talent get
thawed out. Of all the favorites sent to

that finished in front. The most startling
upsets were the defeat of the l to favor

Complaint That County Institutions
Discriminate Against Homo Products.
The following is copy of letter sent
out on Monday by the Manufacturers and
Producers Association TO each county
Board of Supervisors:
Gentlemen: The fact has been brought to
the attention OF this association that in a num-
Der OF county Institutions throughout the
State. the schedule of supplies required dis
crlmlnate in many items against California
manufactures and products and in favor of the
Eastern article.
The particular subject TO which our attention
has been called is that of pharmaceutical
preparations for use in the county hospitals
There are many cases where, in calling for GER
tain items, the name of an Eastern manufac-
turer OF that particular item is given, and in
such cases, as the schedule calls for q certain
make (and that Eastern), the bidder cannot bid
on California articles.
There is manufactured in California as high
class OF pharmaceutical preparations are
produced in the United States and in view of
this fact we feel fully justified in addressing
appeal TO every citizen OF California, and es-
pecially to the public institutions of the State,
TO arouse loyal home feeling and State pa
trlotlsm lot pharmaceutical as well as every
product of California manufacture We ask
that this be done in all cases where prices and
quality are equal.
H. among the schedules issued periodically
py your board for pharmaceutical preparations,
groceries, stationary or any other class of sup
plles. there are items specifying an Eastern
brand We most respectfully request that you
look into the subject, and hope you will de-
termine to change the specification SO as to
give the preference to California manufac-
lures.
We hardly think it necessary to call your at
tention to the good that IAN be done to the in
dustres of the State of California If oil the citi
zens and institutions, both public and private,
would adhere strictly to the line of "Patroniz-
Ing home industries, price and quality equal"
You can readily see that it would result in re-
tanning within the State, and causing to be
circulated at home, large amount of money
which would otherwise help to enrich another
community.
Trusting that this matter will receive the
consideration at your hands that its import
ance deserves, I am, for the association. yours
