TEXAS WANTS TO JOIN
Chamber of Commerce Has Some
UNIQUE Recent Displays

| w. V. NeWlin, traffic manager of the
Cattleraisers' association, in Texas, who
owns some property in Los Angeles
writes to Secretary Virgins for applica-
tion blanks, saying he wishes to become
a member at once, and if he had known
how much the dues were, he would have
sent them in advance. He says the
chamber of commerce is doing great
work, which is benefiting nonresident
owners, and he thinks it is the duty of all
nonresident owners to help bear the ex-
pense.
More of this spirit right here in Los
Angeles would not be a bad thing.
The California Asphalt company of
Ventura have sent the chamber a sample
of their asphalt. This company has six
large retorts at Ventura, in which they
manufacture asphalt from crude oil pur-
chased from the Union Oil company of
Santa Paula. The product is almost all
sent to Pittsburg. The capacity of the
works is forty tons day.
Messrs. Beveridge & Beveridge of Hol-
lywood have renewed their exhibit of
candied figs at the chamber of commerce.
All of the utensils used in the prepara-
ton of these figs are either of silver or
agate; so there is absolutely nothing to
taint the fruit. This firm has created a
market in Chicago and New York, where
the jobbers will take as much of the
product as can be supplied. The dis
play they took from the chamber had
been there two years, and was as good
and in as perfect condition as the day it
was put in.
Harry McCallum sends samples of
Seeding oranges, ready for Thanksgiv-
ing, from Palm Springs.
S. II. Butterfield of Burbank displays
Ben Davis and Stones Eureka apples;
the latter are the finest ever exhibited
in the chamber.
Santa Ana chamber of commerce sends
Smith cider, Ben Davis, Winter Pear
main and Baldwin apples.
From the Fullerton chamber of COM
merce are sent a pumpkin weighing 175
pounds, grown by o. Christensen of Pla-
centia; oranges and pomegranates,
grown by Theo. Staley of Placentia, and
Pearmain apples raised by N. Crowther
of Placentia.
The Ontario Lemon Growers associa-
ton makes a display of a case of cured
Eureka lemons.
Miss Hayden, city, displays three va
rleties or chrysanthemums growing on

This paper recently received information
that the ten year old daughter of Mr.. NJ. Ry-
bolt, of Huntsville, Ind, had been cured of a
an ordinary one, and consequently a special
representative was sent to investigate.
The Rybolts are well.to-do farmers living
about two miles southwest Of Hartsville.
When the reporter called Mr.. and Mrs. Ry-
bolt and their daughter in question, Louise,
were at home, also the other three children.
Louise is the oldest. She had been going to
school for four years, and was formerly In
very good health, but for the past year. or
more she has been ill.
A year ago the present winter II was
noticed that she was breaking down In
health. For q time the cause could not be
ascertained, but II was finally decided that
1t was from over-study. 1t has always been
the ambition of Louise to educate herself %
soon as possible, for she was anxious to
graduate from the common branches carly,
and TO enter a college of music, which her
parents promised she could do as soon as
she should finish the common branches
How many children by diligent study to
achieve their ambitions are fnjuring their
health. 1t was SO in this case. The child
studied hard all day and often far into the
night, and had won the respect and admira-
ton Of her teacher and of all the school by
her aptness, and rapid learning.
Fer some time Louise experienced an indis-
position which she would not make known
to her parents, for fear they would have her
remain from school. Her headache soon
became uncomfortable, and was noticed by her
teacher. She had by this time grown pale
and weak.
One day she became suddenly sick at school,
and was taken home.
For several weeks she suffered from a fever,
and the physicians could not rally her. A
neighbor urged them to try DR.. Williams

covered by Mr.. Bib on the banks of

and from indications it appeared as if
arich vein had been struck. Dr. Broad
head said this evening:
