refused to accept the game. when it

TO the public
We know the misery that is caused by
stomach troubles, for both my wife and
have been SO afflicted with suffering of
the worst sort that there seemed no longer
any hope of health comfort. In
fact, my Wife's life was despaired of, and

Mrs. Gale was for a number of years a
victim of dyspepsia, viii Oh grew and
more severe until she was comple tely pros
trated. She was sent into the country by
her doctor, but when she returned she could
not stand up without support. For a long
time she was unable to eat solid food, and
even on a diet of prepared mi TX she was I'M
able to gain strength or escape suffering.
We sought the best advice could obtain,
but the result was failure in every case.
When we first tried Puritana we were
Without other hope and as far as my wife
was concerned, I did not believe that she
would ever recover. After few weeks
there was q marked change and from that
time on her Improvement grew more rapid
from day to day. The stomach trouble dis
appeared and her whole system was
brought into healthy condi tion.
Mrs. Gale belongs to the Daughters of
Rebekah and other Charleston societies,

it was great surprise to the ladies who

cost of $4,000. Some years ago a nne
park was presented to the city by Mr..
Evans, to which has been added a botan-
ical garden. These are kept in fine con-
dition and are the delight of residents
and visitors. The surrounding mountains
furnish a world of pleasure for the stu
dent of nature, the artist and the sports
man. There are miles and miles of fine
roads for wheeling and driving. One of
the principal avenues is Magnolia"
which is one of the finest streets in the
world. For ten miles 1t stretches out with
its unbroken borders lined with tropical
and semi-tropical foliage and floral
wealth. The residences are so beauti-
full on either side as to make it seem
like vast park. There are rows of giant
eucalyptus trees supported in the fore
ground by the fern-like foliage of the
pepper tree; groups and rows of various
kinds of palms, and at the intersection
of streets there are the fragrant, grace
full magnolias. Another great avenue
is Victoria, which, although too new
to be fully developed yet, promises tobe
rival of Magnolia, when it has had
more time for trees and plants to grow.

Of water to apply to it, the Riverside re-
eion is just at the proper distance from
the ocean to have an evenly tempered
climate, free from fogs and mists. The
orange orchards embrace all the noted
varieties, among which are the WASH
ington navels, Mediterranean sweets,
st. /Michaels, Malta bloods, select seed
lings, tangerines and mandarines.
Among the lemons the most noted are
the Lisbon and Eureka. Riverside Is
the acknowledged center of the citrus
industry of the Pacific coast and her
oranges lead in market value.
CITY AND COUNTRY CHARMS.
The peculiar charm of Riverside is
that one may enjoy the freedom of the
country and at the same time all the
advantages of city. The city en-
braces territory of fifty-six square
miles, and thus within the city limits
one may have ten-acre tract for
homesite and a city home at that.
PROSPERITY AND WEALTH
The pioneer settlers located Riverside
in 1871. In 1883 it was incorporated as
q city, having at that time population
of $500 and valuation of 100000. It's
population has increased until at the
present day it numbers over 5000 and its
assessed valuation is six millions of dol

eral pipes and bitches, which furnish
an unlimited supply Of water for irri-
eating $4,000 acres of the older
orchards, besides furnishing pure
artesian water in pipes under
pressure for domestic and fire ex-
tinguishing purposes. Then there is the
later system known as the Riverside
Trust company's canal, which supplies
about 10000 acres, comprising the Ar
lington Heights tract. The water for
use of the Arlington Heights lands is
conveyed from the main canal along
the streets in steel pipes and delivered
from hydrants at the highest point on
the boundary line Of each lot. Although
water in abundance is present every
where on these lands, it is nowhere WIS.,
ible except when being used, and all
water used is spring water of the very
best quality. The water delivered to
each lot is measured from the hydrant
at the place of delivery and each land
owner gets his quota of water without
any deduction for seepage absorption
or evaporation. From the point where
the hydrant is located a flume is laid
along the line on the highest side of the
lot, and from this tlume water may be
distributed over the orchard in such

blankets are not required at night. AL
though the days of midsummer are
warm, the air is so pure there is no op-
preston felt as in the east, and with
the meurcury at 80 degrees one may sit
in the shade without perspiring or expe-
riencing the usual effects of such a tenn
perature in humid atmosphere. Those
familiar with both prefer, even in the
hottest months of the year. the climate
of Riverside to that of the average east
ern climate between Maine and Minne-
sofa, or from the lakes to the gulf.
If, however, a resident desires, during
the warmer days of summer, he has only
to take a few hours ride in one of the
three or four directions to reach the sea-
coast or the mountains, where the days
are never too warm for coat, or the
nights too cool for comfort.

maker should promptly pay up the
$1,000 fine imposed upon him, he having
been convicted on trial of having violat-
ed the federal law forbidding the inn
portation of alien labor under contract.
John believes in a tariff. He says he
believes in protecting Americans
against competition with foreign pau
pers. His way of carrying out this be-
lief is unique. He would exclude the
importation Of goods made in foreigl,
lands by foreign paupers. This enables
the manufacturers of similar articles
in this country to charge American
consumers a higher than the world
price for their wares. John calls this
protecting American laborers against
competition with foreign paupers. As
a matter of fact what it does is to pro-
tect the owner of the factory in which
the protected article is made against
competition with the owners of foreign
factories. But it doesn't protect the
Worhmen.
