The Regular Meeting of the City Board
of Health

The, city board Of health met in the
mayors office yesterday afternoon at 1
O'Clock, with DR.. Smith presiding and
Drs. Moore Kurtz and Salisbury pres
ent. Health officer Steddom was also
in attendance. Mayor RAIDER was ap-
sent.
The matter Of feeding brewery grain
to dairy cattle was first taken up. Jo-
seph Maier. representing the brewers,
and Judge Gottschalk the dairymcn, ad-
dressed the board at some length, taking
the ground that this grain was not un-
wholesome and was proper food for
cattle. At the conclusion Of their re-
marks action was deferred until such
time as the members of the board could
make "a personal examination.
The following resolution in reference
to street sweeping passed by unani-
NOUS vote:
Whereas, We believe the present
method of street sweeping is unsanitary
and detrimental to the public health on
account of the dust and dirt arising
therefrom, which settles over everything
in the vicinity and blows into the dwell
fngs along the line of the street being
swept, endangering the health and COM
fort of the people; therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense Of this
boardYthat we earnestly recommend that
who secures the contract for the next
ensuing term Of years to use nothing
but the latest improved dustless sweep
ers, and that copy of this resolution
be transmitted to the city council at
their next regular meeting for action
thereon.
Dr. Moore moved that the ordinance
amending sections 80, Al and AZ of or
dinance No. 2288 (new series, approved

An Interesting Paper Read Before the
Association

The October meeting Of the Engi-
neers and Architects association of
Southern California was held in the
new quarters, 243 Wilcox building, last
evening at 8 o'clock, when paper by
Thomas A. Eisen on Steel Building Con-
struction as Applied to the Pacific Coast
was read. In the discussion that fol-
lowed Mr.. Eisen's paper the Importance
was brought out of stricter require
ments In our building laws, and of the
constant need Of keeping technically
abreast of the growth of Los Angeles.
The association also took up the matter
OF the destruction Of our forest reserves
by fire.
Altogether the meeting was the most

"NO FUNDS"

John Rebman, the contractor of the
new city jail, is not likely to get his
pay for extras for some time to come.
at least until some further action is
taken by the council. The council, it is
true, has allowed the demand, but when
Rebman presented his claim to the
treasurer he found that there were no
funds available out of which it could be
paid, so that all that could be done
was to register the same and wait until
such action as the council may see fit
to take in the matter.

MIXED UP IN A STREET FIGHT

John Davis and Pat Carroll, rough
looking hobos, got full of bad whisky
yesterday afternoon and engaged in c.
furious fight down on San Pedro street.
When an officer appeared on the scene
they were pummeling one another in
the most approved style and both were
covered with blood. They were sent

This proposed road, with it's connec-
tions, would make through line from
San DeigO to Lethbridge on the Canada n
Pacific railroad, 1740 miles in length. and
would make the distance from eastern
points to Los Angeles some 400 miles
less than by any other route. 1t would
cross and make connections with eight
main trunk lines west of the Missouri
river, as follows: AT Los Angeles with
the Southern Pacific; at Barstow with

the Rio Grande Western; at Ogden.with
the Central Pacific and the Union Pa

tirely new route and would open up some
of the greatest iron and coal fields in the
world.

are remarkable in all respects. The out

Healthy of Children in Florida.

There is a side to the "new
home" question that has not, I be-
lieve, been presented. AS a mem
Der Of the female persuasion,
would like to say a word about our
South Florida from a mothers
point of view.
Let me assure all who think Of
making this their home, that it is
very paradise for children, es-
pecially babies. There is scarcely
a day in the whole year when they
may not be in the open air, and in
consequence of this, they are al
most entirely free from colds,
coughs, Group and other diseases
of that character. One lady who
came here with five little ones who
were peculiarly liable to Group in
a severe form was directed by her
physician to F'turn them looe"
barefooted, even in winter. This
seemed terribly risky to her but
she tried it and has never had a
case of Group. Our teething babies,
in spite of the length of the sum
mers, weather through much more
easily than those in more variable
climates. They generally wear

one or two garments only, and are
refreshened and strengthened by
the cool nights and mornings even
in midsummer. One pleasantfeature
of our climate is that 1nthe shade
the climate is never oppressive, so
that it is only necessary to keep
the little folks out of the fierce sun
shine during the hottest hours.
Here epidemic diseases, such as
measles, chicken-pox and whoop-
ing cough are contrary to what
might be expected, modified to
degree that renders them quite
harmless and seldom annoying.
Indeed, they speedily die out when
transplanted here from other Sec
tons. Diptheria and scarlet fever
are unknown; even the common
chills and fever are minus, in spite
of the prevailing opinion as to the
malaria Of Florida. The only oil
ment that is at all common among
children is light fever usually in
duced by exposure to the sun,
which is easily controlled. I claim
to speak with authority as this is
the tenth state in which I have re-
sided, and I have made this my
home now for the past twelve
years.
Indeed, the babies seem to flour
ish and luxuriate in the sweet sun
shine and balmy air, just as the
roses do.-Beulah r. Stevens in
Southern States.

and salt. Beat the yolks and the milk and
melted butter. Put the two mixtures
together quickly; add the whites last. Fill

ACCORDING to recent statistics, $40, 642

such occupants. The negro race has not
made much progress in commercial or
manufacturing vocations, but this show
ing is certainly creditable, and that is
probably the line in which it is most
likely to succeed.

great favorites; the coarser looking they are
the more expensive. Plaid or checked mo.
hairs are something quite new and they are
decidedly quite handsome. Cheviots and
mixed suitings are always favorites for
tailor made suits, for outing dresses and for
general wear.
In silks there has been a considerable
change. Brocaded black satins are very
popular, those showing great sprawling
sprays of leaves and flowers or large palm
leaves or ferns being used considerably. In
colored silks the Persian pattern predomi-
mates. Beautiful brilliant grounds with
trailing vines, roses, pansies, violets, in
fact, every and any flower, in their natural
colors, anG all blurred or shaded into the
ground are the favorites. This pattern
comes in all colors and combinations and
the price ranges from 81 yard up to So or
So. In wash silks there are dainty pink, blue
and yellow stripes on white grounds; some
are plain. others figured. They range in
price 25 cents yard and up. A silk which
will be used mulch for shirt-waists is like the
bandana handkerchief, the border bieng
used for trimming. A pretty wash material
for summer dresses is a silk and cotton
mixture. 1t comes in all delicate shades
and costs but 40 cents per yard. Satins
seem to be great tavorites, not only in black
but in coors for evening dresses.
Grenadine has made its appearance again
not the old-fashioned smooth kind, but
coarsely crinkled and satin striped. Hand
some black grenadines are marked off into
two-inch checks with half inch satin stripes
Of green, blue, yellow or red. Some are
brilliant blue with black satin stripes others
are shaded in green's and in Iavenders.
They are simply gorgeous and the prices
range from So so to $500 yard. It is very
wide, however.
Linen in its natural color is the latest
thing for summer dresses. Some OF 1t is
deliberately embroidered. Tiny dots of
colored silk scattered over ground of ecru
linen is a favorite pattern. Dotted swiss
mulls, beautiful organdies with trailing
vines or leaves of flowers, white mulls en-
broidered colors, and dainty dimities are
what will be worn during the summer.
Satin striped challieg, some covered with
flowers, some plain, and others showing a
pattern precisely like the old Paisley shaws,
are beautiful and will be used extensively.
Shirt-waists will be worn just as much
as ever. The handsome goods suita-
bic for them and the great quantities shown,
leaves no doubt as to their popularity. Fine,
colored stripes on white grounds and white
stripes on blue or ecru grounds seems to be
the favorite patterns. Some of the percales
and calicoes suitable for these waists show
the Persian pattern and will, no doubt, be
popular because of the favor in which this
pattern is held.

Fl0orings.

@AVVAAAASH'
at her second lecture on housekeeping,
Miss Parloa gave many suggestions that are
especially usef2l at housekeeping time.
She said, what so many have found true by
experience. that a house with hard wood
floors is kept clean with half the trouble
that carpeted one makes. It pays to take
ample time to do the weekly cleaning well &.
For the sweeping, cover furniture and
pictures. Three widths of cheap print from
three to three and half yards long, sewed
together and hemmed on the ends makes a
very good cover for furniture, and pieces of
cheap cotton cloth should be kept for cover,
ing pictures, clocks and such things as
cannot be taken out of the room readily
before sweeping. Sweep with short strokes,
not lifting the broom high from the floor
and always with the nap of the carpet.
Damp paper or bran may be used for
catching the dust, but wet tea leaves are not
advisable as they are apt to stain. Salt is
sometimes used for the same purpose but if
any is lett it gathers dampness. To brush
down walls cover broom with cotton
flannel and brush with up and down strokes.
Brush the edges Of a carpet with small
broom brush. To cleanse a carpet that is
not to be taken up put four quarts Of water
in pail, add two tabespoonfuls OF house
hold ammonia; use a cloth that has been
dipped in this and wipe the carpet with it,
rinsing frequently. Registers should be
lifted out and turned over on newspaper
and the opening of the pipe wiped free from
dust,
A RUG MAY BE RUINED
by careless beating. The right way is to
lay it face downward On the grass or a fiat
surface and beat, then turn it over and
brush it well. Never shake a heavy rug by
taking hold of one end.
For hard wood floors the Irvine dust mops
are excellent. For floors there are three
kinds of finish. Clear wax gives a high
polish wax and turpentlne less shine; wax,
oil and turpantine soft finish. Simply oil
and turpentine may be used.
For furniture or floors that are stained use
preparation made as follows: Cut iour
ounces of common soap and a pound of
yellow wax fne put i'll five quarts of water
and set on the stove; stir until dissolved;
then add two ounces of sal soda and stir
often until the mixture is cool.
Another polish is made by melting one
pound of wax, and when quite soft take it
from the stove and beat in pint of turpen-
tine. For a soft finish add gill of para
fine Oil.
For furniture that is badly stained use
rottonstone or pomace stone and oil for
rubbing out the stains.
Where furniture has been Clipped the
natural color of the wood may be brought
out by the use Of little burnt lumber, burnt
sienna, yellow ochre or bismark brown.
Roll bit of Geese cloth up into hard
ball, dip in thin shallac then dust IN little
of the color to be used.

Tested Recipes.
An exchange gives them as true and
tested:
FEATHER CAKE.
Take two cups of sugar, one-half cup of
butter, two-thirds of cup of milk, three
cups of -four three eggs and three teaspoon
fuls of baking powder. Flavor with lemon
or vanilla. This is very nice plain cake.
LADY CAKE.
Take three-fourths of cup of butter, two
cups of sugar, half cup of milk, three cups
of pastry -four, whites of six eggs, one tea
spoonful of baking powder, one Of almond
essence. Beat the butter to a cream. Add
the sugar gradually, then the essence, milk,
the flour in which the baking powder has
been mixed and the whites of the EGGS
Bake in moderate oven.
TOMATO SOUP.
One quart can of tomatoes, one pint of
hot water, one teaspoonful salt, four cloves,
four peppercorns or saltspoonful Of white
pepper, one tablespoonful each of butter
chopped onion, parsley and cornstarch, and
one tablespoonful sugar.
Put the tomatoes, water, sugar, salt.
cloves and pepper on to boil in porcelain
steWpan. Put the butter in a small sauce
pan an0 when it bubbles put in the onion
and parsley. FRY FIVE minutes, being care
full not to burn it. Add the cornstarch,
and when well mixed stir it into the toma
toes. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
Strain and serve with plain boiled rice or
''cro1tons' or toasted crackers.
CRoUToNs FOR SOUPS.
Cut slices of stale bread quite thin and
butter both sides; cut into dice, or squares
about half an inch each way, and put into
the oven to toast brown. Croutons made
this way are more delicate than those which
are fried brown in the deep fat and are
better favored. Another way is to buster
the dice of bread in the saucepan in little
butter.
SCRAMBLED EGGS.
Beat four eggs SLIGHTLY, add one salt
spoonful salt, melt one tablespoonful of but
ter in an omlet. Pour in ting eggs, and stir
with fork until creamy. A variation to
the rule is to add half cupful OF milk to the
mixture. This makes the eggs go farther,
and makes a better dish for the taste of
many. The usual fault with scrambled eggs
is that they are cooked too much and are
hard; they should be cooked till they are
creamy. Serve with buttered toast.
BEET SALAD.
Slice cold boiled beets; cut into neat
strips, line a salad bowl with white crisp
lettuce. heap the bects in the center and
pour mayonnaise dressing over them just
before it goes to the table. or you can pass
the dressing with the salad in an ice cold
pitcher or pretty bowl with a ladle in it,
JELLY ROLL CAKE.
Three eggs, one cup sugar, one cup flour,
one tablespoonful milk and one teaspoonful
baking powder. Bake in a shallow pan in
a quick oven. Spread with jelly and 70 l.
LEMON SYRUP.
Take one cup sugar, one-fourth cup water,
one teaspoonful butter, one tablespoonful
of lemon juice. Boil the sugar with the
water until it thickens slightly; add the
butter and lemon juice. Serve as soon as
the butter is melted. This syrup is liked
by many for griddle cakes.
