the cost of living. clothing and books
alone into consideration, leaving off the

/ think the cost of a set of books for

frequently changed or renewed, and
there is an additional cost for station

small in comparison with that for the
food and clothing of children, which
must be borne by the parents, while the
children themselves are really in the
public service for the principal part of
their time for six or eight months of the
year. They are there by the direct COM
naand Of the law.

questionable. The books cost the pupils
as much as the books of twenty years

receive no special commendation as to
their excellence. The amount ex-
pended upon them ought to have fur

THE CROPS.
Summary Of the Weeks Weather
and Crop Reports.

The week has been generally warm
throughout the State, except along the
northern coast, the temperature has
averaged six to eight degrees above
the normal This has been favorable
for fruit drying, although in some sec
tions there was considerable cIoudiness
and occasionally, sprinkles of rain
Large quantities of prunes and rails
ms are on the drying trays. and heavy
rain at this time would cause a serious
loss. The rainfall is below the nor
NAL throughout the State. Raisin dry
ing has progressed favorably. In San
Diego County the raisin crop is report
ed to be the finest in several years.
Wine grapes have yielded well. Sugar
beets have done well, and are now be-
ing gathered. Apples are abundant and
fine
At many points ounces, apples,
grapes and pears are being shipped. In
the northern part of the Sacramento
Valley some wheat has been sown in
the dust. Farmers are still shucking
corn.
Beans yield better than expected. AL
mOnds make a fair crop. In Orange
County peanuts are ready for taking
up, but the crop will be small. the red
spider having injured them. WaInuts
are beginning to drop freely. Oranges
are doing nicely.

TO CURE DYSPEPSIA.
a New Remedy Which VIII Do I

p N eW ESemedy w men Will OO AC.
Chronic DYSPEPSIA is considered by
many people to be nearly if not quite
incurable. No good reason can be Civ
en- why they think SO except that per
haps they have tried various remedies
without much, if any benefit. But the
progress in every branch of medicine
has been such that among other things
a lasting cure for indigestion in it's
chronic form as we'll as temporary has
been discovered and is now placed be-
fore the public strictly on its merits
as a permanent cure for all stomach
troubles or difficulties with the diges-
tive organs. 1a
This new trea atment is called Stuart's s
Dyspepsia Tablets, being put up in
tablet form SO as to be easily taken
and also to preserve its good qualities
for an indefinite length of time.
This remedy has produced surprising
effects in the worst forms Of indiges-
tion, and in many cases where ordi-
nary remedies failed to give even re-
lief, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
fully cured.
The splendid results from using this
preparation are OWING TO lnS TACT lLal
it is prepared and intended for Dyspep
sia and stomach troubles only. 1t is
not a cureall like 50 many advertised
remedies, claiming to cure everything
under the sun, but it is claimed that it
is a certain cure for dyspepsia and any
one suffering from any form of indi-
gestion cannot fail to get permanent
relief and cure from its use.
1t is so prepared and the ingredients
are of such a nature that when the
tablets are taken into the stomach they
digest the food no matter whether the
stomach is in good working order or
not. You get sustenance and strength
to mind and body by reason of the
food being properly digested and at the
same time the much abused stomach is
allowed to rest and recuperate.
Notwithstanding the great benefits to
be derived from Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, the price is but SOC for full
sized package and all druggists sell
them.

BABY's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter

Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
cat the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on hisright
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear OF,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried MS medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse. and when he was
three months old, / began giving him
Hoods Sarsapariila. / also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
