E INTERESTING FACTS
Regarding Our Climate Chronic
Seekers Are Plentiful i'm California


The invalid tourists who come here
thinking that health can be found In any
spot In Southern California are sorely dis
appointed, and many return to their homes
with bitter memories of California.
THIS IS WRONG
Wrong to our matchless climate, wrong
to the AFFLICTED at our gates. In Los An
geles county can be found dozen diff
ferent climatic conditions, each one
adapted to and beneficial to certain class
Of disease.
Unfortunately the health-seeker has no
way to get reliable information on this sub
ject, and he or she settles down In Los
Angeles or Redlands or San Diego to await
good health.

PREVENTIVE OF RABIES
Eating the Liver Of Dog Recon-
mended as Cure for the Bite

m0uOou dS VuTe ZOE the 6lCo
"A French missionary in China wit
messed how two of his carriers
were bitten by rabid dog.
and was very much worried
about it. Several Chinese who
happened to be there told him that his
worry was absolutely uncalled for, since
they had an undoubtedly safe preven-
tive against the poison of a rabid dog
taking effect, and to prove the assertion
five Cinnamon who had been bitten in
March of last year by a mad dog, were
presented to the missionary. He found
that Cinnamon eat the raw liver Of a
mad dog after being bitten, and II they
partake of this within given time
after the accident, it is said they will
not be subject to hydrophobia. 1t is
curious that Plinius in his natural his
tory recommends eating the liver of a
mad dog, II bitten, as raw as possible,
and they who could not swallow the
liver raw should have it cooked and
drink the broth therefrom. 1t is not
positively known whether this remedy
is efficacious. but It appears to be worthy
of investigation, particularly since this
seems to be the actual beginning of the
isopathic treatment since perfected by
Pasteur and Koch-Modern Medicine.

The English and German Expert Special
lists nearly three years ago began investi-
eating the effects of the different climates
on chronic diseases. This investigation
was only possible to these specialists from
the fact that they had patients in every
city. town, village and settlement In
Southern California. and visited these
patients each month for examination, OBJ
servation and treatment.
This was the only real test that could be
applied to the various health resorts Of
California.
The English and German Expert Special
lists had consumptive patients in every
inhabited spot in Southern California.
They watched the progress of the disease.
how 1t yielded to treatment, and how the
patients progressed in each climate or To-
cality. So it was with the other va
rieties Of chronic diseases treated at these
different places.
These specialists made study of this
matter and you cannot fail to see how
valuable the results must be In their prac-
tice.
But 1t was from this study and observa.
ton that the English and German Expert
Specialists learned the secrets Of Califor-

1t must be remembered that the veran-
da, more than any one feature, gives
character to the house, and consequent
ly it must be in perfect accord with the
general style. Whenever 1t is possible
a piazza should extend upon two sides

an eastern exposure. There need be no
fear that piazza will prove too sunny.

and give them back their health; it has
enabled these specialists to enter when all
other doctors had fled and save lives that
seemed beyond the reach of medical skill.
DISAPPOINTMENT CANNOT COME
To health seekers who will seek informa-
ton from the English and German Ex-
pert Specialists, who have made this sub
1ect Of climate and treatment practical
study for nearly three years, with results
that have never been equaled.
That climate alone will not cure deep
seated and chronic diseases is abundantly
proven by the mortality records of the
health office of Los Angeles county, but
this mortality rate could be enormously
lessened If this matter of climate and
treatment were better understood by
physicians.
The English and German Expert Spec
ialists have prepared a record of more
than 1900 cases of different chronic troubles
treated at different points in Southern Cali
fornia, and would be pleased to exhibit IT
to- physicians for the benefit of sufferers
and for the better understanding of South
ern California as a health giver.

Brave Little Girl. at ., Fire &

Little Nora Boyle proved herself a
heroine yesterday morning at the fire
in the Florence apartment building, and
but for her rare presence of mind, many
of the tenants might have had difficulty
in making their escape.
The fire was first discovered by Mrs.
X. D. Boyle, who awakened her 9-year-
old-daughter. Nora, and her sister-in-
law, Mrs. Annie Boyle. Az soon as she
saw the flames shooting UP the airshaft
the little girl ran up the vestibule and
rang the electric bells in all the flats.
This aroused every one IN the building
and they all escaped although many Of
them were nearlEire tfcome by smoke.

very little value. Many of these
old houses that are still standing have
had verandas added to them, regard
less Of whether or not they harmonized
with the original design. The wide
growth in popularity of the piazza is
nowhere more strikingly shown than in
the farm house. A decade or two ago
one might ride mile upon mile in the
country without seeing single farm
house with piazza, but now almost
every new one erected makes some pre-
tensions in this line.

Trilbv in Florida

| Far to the south, nesting amid lovely
wilderness Of magnolias and giant pines,
lpalmettoes and jessamine vines, there
lis a pretty little Florida town by the
name of Trilby.
Founded by Henry B. Plant, the mil
lionaire railroader. who is president of
the Plant system Of railways, steamship
lines and hotels, and holding its site at
the crossing point of two of the railroads
of this system. the little Florida village
is fast growing into the proportions of a
Ipretentious town; and, strangely
enough, its prosperity dates back no
further than when 1t was given the name
Of Trilby. The railroad station near this
point was formerly known as Macon,
Fla. There was nothing of a town so
long as it went by the name Of Macon.
Only a little depot beside the railroad
track, and a wagon road, winding its
white, sandy, path-like track through
the pines, marked the vicinity ae being
| inhabited. 1t became necessary for the
railroad authorities to cut down the
grade at Macon, and when this was done
the little station house was left stand
ing high up on cliff, like light house.
1t was Of no use in this position, and
President Plant gave orders for 1t to be
torn down and the timber taken to a
point close by, where the Sanford and
st. Petersburg railroad crossed the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western. BY this
stroke the town of Macon, Fla, was kill
ed forever. Then the question arose,
What shall the new station be called
President Plant was just at the time
deeply interested in a second reading of
Du Maurier's book, the popularity of
which at that time amounted to q craze
with the American people. The charac-
ter as drawn by the author and given to
the little waif about the streets Of Paris
had touched the railroad magnate with
all its weird and greweome phases and
when one of his officials came to him and
asked what the new station should be
named Mr.. Plant looked up with his ac-
customed bright twinkle about the eye,
which seems to bespeak nature full Of
merriment as well as shrewdnees, and
said: I'VE will name 1t Trilby"-and
Trilby 1t is today.
That was enough. Trilby began to
grow. A place which had never been
heard of 50 long as it SCALED Macon
became known in jiffy to all the world
as Trilby. Ever alert real estate agents
tOOh uOlu, WlutCI tOuTISlS On the west
coast of Florida craned their necks out
Iof Pullman car windows to see Trilby,
and went home to talk about 1t among
their fellow capitalists Of the north;
newspaper writers wrote about It; the
map of Florida held 1t out the most con-
spicuous of all names Of towns and
citiee. Under such environment the
little town of Trilby bids fair to become
an important point some day. The
streets have been named after the char
|acters of the famed book; there is
Svengali square. with the network of
railroad tracks in the center, presenting
the fanciful spider web which was the
emblem Of the book; there is a Little
Billie street, Taffy street and Laird
lane. The avenues are named for the
women Of the book-Leslie's Weekly.

Senator Proctor succeeded in get
ting an amendment attached to one
of the appropriation bills, which
passed the senate during the last
days of the session, which divided
Vermont into two collection districts.
Just what the necessity of the pro-
posed change does. not appear. The
two districts would largely conform
to the boundaries of the two con-
g~ressional districts, Burlington be-
ing the headquarters of the first,
Newport the place of the second col
tector. 1t does not appear that the
business of the present districts,
though much larger than that some
existing districts is so large that it
cannot be done by one collector. If
two districts are established there
must be two collectors, and it is
probable that the salary and per-
quisites Of each would be smaller
than that of the one. We imagine
that proposed change may have been
suggested by the fact that three very
worthy men are seeking the position,
all of whom stand well in the appre-
citation and in favor of the Vermont
delegation, who will be compelled to
r long to make a choice among the
three for collector, or collectors, as
the case may be. We have no doubt
the people of this section of the state
would be equally pleased with the
