No Peace for the Dyspeptic

"A few years ago the noble army OF
dyspeptics and sufferers from malaria
and other life-wearying ailments dis
covered the virtues of the grapefruit
and were all fast curing themselves and
becoming capable of enjoying the plea,-
ures of this world. when along came the
great freeze in Florida and killed most
of the grapefruit trees At the same time
the fruit dealers braced up their con-
sciences to an extent that enabled them
to charge from 35 cents to 60 cents for
grapefruit no larger than an ordinary
orange. Such combination of condi-
tions naturally made 1t impossible for
any except millionaire dyspeptics to cure
themselves by means of the grapefruit.
Then some body discovered that the
pineapple cure was even better than the
grapefruit cure. The cure was pleasant

dustry in California is the fact that no
other country in the world, and no other
section of the United States, except ia
vored sections of Arizona, can produce
the navel orange as 1t is produced in
California. No other orange equals the
navel. The destruction of the orange
groves of Florida has given the people of
the east an opportunity to learn this
fact. The citizens of New York, Boston
and other portions of the east, as well
as the orange eaters Of Jacksonville,
Florida, are now acknowledging the SUI
periority of the navel orange, and this
superior fruit is going to stay in the mar
kets along the Atlantic seaboard. The
eastern people will hereafter demand the
navel and Southern California will sup
ply it.

years and believe him to be worthy Of
confidence, and a scholarly disciple Of
his deceased father and tutor.

In pursuance of the above correspond
ence, DR.. Wing arrived in Los Angeles
few weeks ago and has since been as
sociated with DR.. Foo at the latter's of
flee and residence, No. 929 South Broad
way. Those of DR.. Foo's former pat
rons who have met his new associate
| have been very much pleased with DR..
, Wings personality and address and
with his evidently complete mental
| equipment for the practice of his diff
cult profession. Any one who will take
| the trouble to glance a. the foregoing
pictures of these Oriental doctors will
see at once that they are both men Of
superior intellectual endowments. There
is just as much difference between the
higher and the lower orders in China as
in any other country, and heredity, edu-
cation and special training prepare the
best men for the best work in China as
in America Both DR.. Foo and DR.. Wing
have inherited their calling it having
descended to them through a long line
of ancestry; and every faculty of their
minds has been trained and refined In
this direction from their birth. Their
training at the Imperial Medical Col
lege and their success in this country
are guarantee of even greater things in
their future careers.
He has been a successful practitioner
in San Francisco for several years. DR..
Foo is too we'll known to the citizens Of
Los Angeles to need any introduction.
The two together will unquestionably
make the strongest firm of Oriental ply
sicians that have ever come to any Amer
, lean city. They will not only practice
but will teach, write and explain, and
will show to the citizens of this city and
of Southern California just what the gen.
uine Oriental system of medicine, which
has been handed down from generation
to generation among the Chinese for the
past four thousand years, can accom-
plish when it is sustained by the highest
skill and is administered with the knowl-
edge born of study and experience.
Further information upon these sub
jects will be given later through the
columns of this paper.
DR.. Wing, in entering upon this busi-
ness arrangement, desires to add that he
has entirely severed his business rela-
tions at San Francisco, and intends to
build up life work among the people Of
Los Angeles.

Florence Nightingale once said that
it was possible to be quite clean, using
only two quarts of water day. This
is cheerful to remember when drought
threatens or when one is in country
farmhouse, where bal ih-tubs are un.
known luxuries. The rest of the time
il is just as well to forget it. A tub
which contains gallons of water may
be no more effective, but it seems SO
to the average person, and it iscertain-
ly far pleasanter.
The water for the summer bath
should be at least moderately warm, to
begin with. and then cold water should
be gradually turned in until it is finally
quite cold.
A scrubbing brush of some sort is a
necessity, and the woman whose skin
is most like ivory in smoothness is she
whose daily dip is accompanied by q
vigorous scrnbbing. Tue water of the
bath may be softened by bran bags,
toilet water, or borax. After soap,
water and scrubbing brush have done
their work. 3 rinsing with cold water
and Q brisk rubbing with a Turkish
towel will make one feel deliciously re-
freshed.

he never notices that the places set
before him are beginning to show marks
of hard usage, that the spotless linen
has been dared in several plates or
that the childrens' shoes are shabby. II
the ensemble is comfortable he is con-
tent, and wonders why in the world his
wife wants new china, tablecloths or
anything else.
The very man who grumbles when
he gives his wife SIS for a new pair of
shoes frequently has half dozen pair
but little worn standing on the floor of
his closet. He couldn't think of wear
ng shoe with patch, but is horri-
bly, put out when his wife informs him
that the single pair she has been wear
ing steadily for six months must be re-
placed. He doesn't intend to be mean.
He can't help his lack of observation,
and in consequence the wife feels like
some guilty thing when she only asks
him for money with which to buy
necessary food or clothing.
We feel inclined to shake all those
women who do not at the outset. of
their matrimonial career insist upon
an allowance for their household ex-
penses. and definite sum to be used
for their cwn wardrobe. II The pro-
position is placed before the man in a
business light he will undoubtedly see
its advantage over the old way, unless
he is one of those born Turks who
enjoys seeing his wife in the role of a
slave, and then he will probably con-
tend that such a course would make
her too independent, and should there
fore be tabooed.
Independence is just what he himself
corrals. and he would feel highly indig-
nant if places were reversed and lac
had to ask for his car fare or money to
buy a new necktie. Moreover he likes
to have his home and his wife and chill
dren appear pie Easing in the sight Of the
world, and if he did but know it the
allowance plan would work long way
TOWARD achieving this end. Economy
would be the outgrowth of such
scheme, for, knowing that SO much
could she have and no more, the wife
would prove her own cleverness by
little saving devices that would make
the money go much farther than when
she gets it in dribbles for which she has
to offer explanations largely out of
proportion to the sum given her. Insist
upon an allowance, old wives and
young wives. 1t is a big item of matri-
monial happiness which once COM
menced will win appreciation from all
whom 1t concerns.
