Just word to church goers, that
if needed will make things much more
pleasant. Having entered pew, move
along; do not block up the end Of a
pew as if you did not intend to have
anybody else enter it or IS if you were
holding it for some special Ifiends.
Do not rise to let others in, but move
along and leave the pew invitingly
open, so that they may know that they
are welcome. if a pew holding five
has four in it, do not all rise and file
out in formal procession to let one
poor, lone scared woman to go to the
other end, but move along and let her
take the seat next to the aisle.

KEEP COMFORTABLE.
DR.. Abernethy's Advice About How To
Go Through the Winter.

OEs Ao0TDeCny'S ADVICE ADOuC HOW AZ
Go Through the Winter.
Keep the stomach warm, and you can
not only defy dyspepsia but go through
the severest winter without any danger OF
catching cold
1t was DR.. Abernethy, the celebrated
English physician. who once gave this ad-
vice to wealthy patient He was right
1t Is a well-known fact that cold has a
way of finding out the weak spots In the
body and suddenly attacking them. 1t
generally strikes first at the stomach,
which is a very sensitive place. 1t next
affects the circulation and makes the blood
course feebly through the veins. That is
why people who catch cold have aches and
pains, lose their appetite and suffer from
indigestion.
The way to prevent colds is to keep the
stomach warm and the blood moving
rapidly by the regular use of a pure stirnu-
liant. Something should be taken to tone
up the system and fortify it against the
weakening effects Of cold weather For
this purpose, nothing is better than Duffy S
pure malt whisky, which is renowned Tor
its stimulating, strengthening qualities.
Thousands of men and women who use
this whisky are enabled to escape the
dangers of cold, coughs, chills. grip and
pneumonia 1t frequently happens that
INSCRIPTIONS dealers attempt to substi-
tute some inferior imitation which they
claim is ''just like or .'aS good as
Duffys pure malt. There is, however,
nothing that can possibly take its place.

NO TROUBLE THERE.
The Expectoration Ordinance Strictly
Enforced i'm New York.

DR.. Pinkham yesterday received le.-
ter from his son, who is in New York
city, which contains a statement of
some interest to .Sacramentans
Young Pinkham states in his letter
that New York City has an ordinance
concerning expectoration that is similar
to ours, and that 1t Is strictly enforced
Especially is this true in the elevated
railroad cars, and 1t is as much az a
mans liberty is worth to defile their
floors by the vile practice. A league
Of women has been formed to help the
enforcement of the ordinance, and when
one sees a male biped violating the
decencies in that manner she politely
reminds him of the prohibition and the
consequences of breaking it.
If the ordinance can be strictly en-
forced in a city of a million and half
inhabitants it is idle to say that 1t can
not be enforced in city of 10000, If
any disposition is shown by the author
tiles to enforce it. 1t is a matter Of
common remark already that the side

THE DRAINAGE CANAL AGAIN.
Who is Responsible For Its Mainte-
nance?
Supervisors and City Trustees Are
Still Trying to Solve the
Conundrum.

The drainage canal south of the city
is in a bad condition, but the city
doesn't want to bear all the expense OF
having it cleared and <deepened, and
the Supervisors are fighting shy of the
proposition to stand a portion Of the
expense.
City Trustee Mckay appeared before
the Board of Supervisors yesterday and
stated that a majority Of the City
Trustees are opposed to paying three
fifths Of the expense of cleaning out
the canal from Fifteenth street to the
Riverside road, outside the city. They
thought the county should pay $500
and the city 5000, the estimated cost
being $500.
out $1,000 already on that portion Of
the canal within it's jurisdiction, and
this money would all be wasted unless
the portion of the canal referred to
were cleared out 1t is not city water
that is to be carried off, but water
that comes from Burns Slough, out
side the city, and Is carried along out
side the city
One of the land owners south Of the
city said the people down that way
object to either the county or city car
rying any more water down that way.
Supervisor Jenkins was not sure the
county had any control over or re-
sponsibility for the care OF the canal,
and preferred to have the District At
tcrney's opinion ON the subject
Trustee Mckay said something must
be done, and done right away. The
water is now backing up and cannot
get out.
Supervisor Curtis said he would not
vote for even two-fifths of the expense
unless the dirt taken out were hauled
away as fast as removed from the ca
nal, instead of being thrown on the
edge Of the bank, as had been done.
After some further discussion it was
decided to refer the matter to the Dis
trict Attorney for his opinion as to the
county's liability in the premises.
District Attorney Ryan was sent for
and the situation explained to him. He
said that If the city and county each
contributed one-half the expense of
constructing the canal-as he under
stood was the case-then each would,
he thought, have half-interest In the
canal. and that the expense Of main
portion. However, there might be
some Act of the Legislature on the
subject, and he would prefer to exam
inc further into it before giving an
opinion.
Later on he returned and said the
construction Of the drainage canal was
provided for by Act Of the Legislature
IN 1858, and that it was placed in
charge of the Supervisors. In 1912
the Act was amended allowing the Su-
pervisors to levy special tax for the
canal and exempting certain portions
Of the county therefrom. Subsequently
the Legislature passed an Act appoint
ing Board Of Levee Commissioners for
the city of Sacramento, they to have
full control Of the canal from Sixth
and r streets south, the expense of
maintenance being a charge against
the city.
Supervisor Curtis thought there was
a still later Act referring to the cut
from Fifteenth street., and Mr.. Ryan
departed to make further search for
Information.
Being engaged with the Grand Jury
for the rest of the day, Mr.. Ryan was
unable to render a final opinion.
