An unfailing CTR Tor all diseases that

muscle and drives out disease germs. 1t
cures e9 per cent. of all cases of consump-

facts. Druggists who suggest substitutes
are dishonest.

WINTER LOADING.
Great Britain Marine Men Seeking for In
formation.

The efforts of the Boston Chamber OF
Commerce to ind1ce the British Board
OF Trade to abolish or modify the present
regulations governing the winter loading
OF steamships at north OF Chesapeake
Bay, which it was thought terminated
with the refusal of the Board of Trade to
accede to the request of the cham Der, Will
receive further confederation, as the Brit
ish Parliament has become interested.
The present regulation, it is claimed,
ia an unjust discrimination against the
ports Of Boston, Portland, New York
and Philadelphia, as the steamship tax
ing in cargoes at these ports are obliged
to have freeboard of from four to six
inches more than vessels loading In the
Chesapeakelor. from ports southEofsthere.
The articles criticizing the Board OF
Trades action have been brought to the
attention of Parliament which requested
the British Board of Trade to furnish it
with all correspondence on the subject
which has passed between the boston
Chamber Of Commerce and other repre-
sentatives Of commercial interests and
the Board of Trade.

it is regarded, if at all, with a commits
Grating pity and is accepted passively in
the light of a misfortune, with never
thought as to whether in its present
condition there might not be an active
fault somewhere, which, being a fault,
should be remeded, or at least anchor
ated.
1t is a generally conceded fact that in
the scheme of the universe there are few
people who are wholly bad, and what
is true of an individual may also be
true of a community-or ward. Heredity
and environment are the two great fac
tors which are held accountable for the
condition of the individuals; the one, it
Is claimed may be regulated for his bet
terment; that the other has accom-
plished marked results for his good is
proved by statistics. What has been
done may be done. The only question is
the way.
HOPEFUL-NOT HOPELESS
In the matter of the Eighth Ward the
material seems to be particularly prom
Using and hopeful, instead of hopeless.
1t is only a question of first arousing in
terest, next of deciding on the most
sane and practical way, and thirdly of
setting to work and keeping at it, until
the Eighth ward is no longer "fester-
ing sore Oh the body politic.'' but rather
healthy, normal factor in the munich
pal order; SCARED perhaps, but none the
less wholesome for that; and like many
another prodigal, the more lasting and
conscientious in its reform in that it mas
evolved from the seamy side of the
social fabric and gained self-respect
and the respect of others in the process.
Reference has been made to the
promising material in the Eighth ward.
Perhaps more just conception of how
promising that material is may be
gained from a review of the existing
conditions in the ward; and that can
be done in no better way, perhaps, than
to quote the Rev. Burt Estes Howard
whose keen and active interest in mu-
niclpal Improvement is well known. Mr..
Howard in conversation the other day,
gave some facts and figures that are as
convincing in their way, as is the dia-
gram, here reproduced, and for which
courtesy, acknowledgment is due to the
Grace M. Z. church on e. First street.
WHAT THE DIAGRAM SHOWS
This diagram shows a complete and
dCcuIdte oulliHe oI tHe wards OF Los
Angeles. The letter S in each. repre-
sents the saloons, the letters C, the
churches. 1t is not intended to show
the exact location in each ward of
every saloon and church, but the cor
rect and relative number OF both is
shown in every ward.
The smallest division represents
the Eighth ward. Within it's boun-
daries are 90 saloons, or one third
of the total number-200-in the whole
city. In the whole ward there are just
three churches; the Bethlehem Institu-
tional. the Grace Methodist Episcopal.
and the Third Congregational Only
two of these are self-supporting.
This, in contrast to the First ward,
where there are ten churches and two
saloons. or the Fourth ward, where there
The herald., 1897-11-07

The Eighth ward of Los Angeles, al
though not born to greatness, has
achieved greatness in one way, and has
had greatness thrust upon it in another.
1t is the smallest ward in the city. its
area being but one-forteth of the whole,
and hence, logically, it was not born to
greatness. Its population, however. is
$4,000, or one-ninth that of the whole
city, and in such manner, also logically,
has it achieved greatness, and that the
kind of fame which is spelled with nine
letters has been thrust upon it every
body will admit.
So notorious is the Eighth ward. in
fact, that the haute monde, otherwise
known as society at large, alludes to it
only when it must, and then with bated
breath, disdainfully curling lip and a
shrug of it's respectable shoulders. 1t
has long been considered by apparently
common consent, as entirely hopeless:

are twenty-four churches and eight sa-
looms, or the Fifth, where there are sew
en- churches and one saloon, or the Sixth,
where there are ten churches and two
saloons, or the Ninth. where there are
four churches and only one saloon. In
the Second, Third and Seventh wards
it will be seen that there is greater pre-
ponderance of saloons, but an equally
great number of churches.
1t is frequently contended that the
Eighth ward is not residence district.
On the contrary, and in fact. it is five
times as thickly populated as the same
average area in any other part of the
city, and it is pre- e-eminently the locality
of the small home. 1t is here that the
laboring classes live and raise families
large families. as is the regular rule

among that class; but, instead of being
crowded into tenements. as in eastern
cities, each family has it's own or its
rented home; around each cottage is a
small patch of Il garden; and as a gen.
eral rule palpable effort is made at keep
ing the house and the yard in good con-
dition.
