CHASING MICROBES
HEALTH DEPARTMENT DOING
GOOD WORK


The health department Is continuing the
work It commenced a few months ago.
namely. that Of securing from each ply
sician, for microscopical tests, specimens OF
the membranes or blood Of patients sup
posed to be suffering from contagious OF
infectious diseases.
Every physician In the city who has sc
desired has been supplied with diph-
thereto test case. returnable 10 the health
board as soon as used. Hundreds OF these
cases have been taken and used. The case
consists Of a swab to be used upon the
throat of the patient and tube filled Will
& prepared gelatin which forms especially
prepared ground for the development Of
the microbe Of diphtheria In few hour
when properly handled. Physicians have
In suspicious cases, used the outfit and then
sent 1t to DR.. Powers, who has been able
to tell them whether the diagnosis oil
diphtheria was correct or not.
There have been many cases Of true diph'
iberia in this city, but owing to the fact
that they were recognized by the test
mentioned before they had reached the
infectious stage, and the patient isolated
no epidemic has ensued.
DR.. Powers yesterday sent to every
physician in the city a prepared micro
scopic slide upon which he asked that q
single drop of the blood Of any patient
showing symptoms OF typhus fever, or ty-
phoid fever. be placed and allowed to dry
and then sent at once to the health office
where the assistants are prepared to make
microscopic and other tests TO determine
whether the disease Is true typhoid or not
This method of treating diseases is now
generally adopted throughout the United
States and Europe and has proved a mar.
Vicious help In suppressing epidemics. IT
is hoped by the health officer that every
physician in the city will lend the office
their aid In the work undertaken, which
has already proved It's value.

Los ANGELES WINS
The First Match Of the Santa Monica
Cricket Tournament

The Santa Monica cricket tournament
commenced yesterday with a spirited con-
test between teams representing Los An
geies and Duarte, the old-time rivals Of
many an interesting match. A capital
wicket had been prepared on the Polo club
grounds and the day was an Ideal one for
cricket. The farmers won the toss and de-
cided to bat. P. Pedley showed excellent
form. Patterson played q most careful
ard invaluable inning, and Westhorp hit
and was hit in very plucky fashion. Bel
field and Wake. both bowled well, but the
Los Angeles team was sadly in need Of
one or two respectable change bowIers.
Duarte piled up the very respectable score
OF 124.
For Los Angeles Jones Bateman and
Walker both played well, but 1t was j.
SCOTS sturdy defense and fine hitting
power that won the match for the towns
folk. Young bowled steadily and effec-
lively and his only mistake was in putting
himself In so late In the game. The field
Ing Of both teams was somewhat ragged,
but was redeemed by some brilliant work,
particularly Squre's catch which dismissed
Pedley. The following were the scores:

NEWS OF THE RAILWAYS
The Santa Fe Has More Washouts IL

The Santa Fe company is again strug-
Cling with washouts on its line in Arizona.
This time the difficulties have ARISEN near
the California line just east of Needles.
Many miles of track have been carried
away and torrents were flowing over the
road yesterday morning.
Chief Clerk Walker of the super!ntend-
ent's office stated yesterday afternoon that
he expected that yesterdays, the days be-
fore and today's trains would all come In
some time this evening. as all preparations
had been made to have the line in perfect
order today. This was with the expecta-
ton that there would be no more rains to
interfere with the work Of repair.
The good luck of the Southern Pacific
continues to be with that company, for 1t
has not had any trouble Of the washout
order for ten days or more.
The Santa Fe is intending, If all arrange
ments turn out well, to build loop on the
proposed Lakeview branch from PERKS to
Alessandro via Viewpoints ranch, Lake
view, Moreno and Armada.
The Southern Pacif1c's surveyors are
still at work between San Pedro and Re-
dondo. The company has spur extending
three miles out to the north Of San Pedro,
make connection to Redondo. This would
give It belt line to all Of the beach resorts
on the coast.
Mr. Croker Of the Southern Pacific Is
expected to arrive here in few days to
inspect the progress Of the plan to supply
water to San Pedro from Long Beach. He
is interested deeply in the TOWNSHIP owned
at San Pedro by members Of the Southern
Pacific company, and will take steps to
arrange for placing this property on the
market, now that the harbor Is assured.
The Southern Pacific company is consid-
ering the project Of operating but one train
a day on the DIAL railway to Nordhoff, as
the beet sugar factory will not be operated
this year owing to the shortage Of the
crop. What beets are grown in that To-
cality will be shipped to the Chino factory.

genuine oleomargarine is infinitely better
and more wholesome than the so-called
process butter.
1--WE regret to learn that any OF our
merchants have been so mercenary as to
deliver to the home so Objectionable an ar
ticle as process butter, thus not only ex-
hibit1ng a disregard for the comfort of the
old soldiers, but also creating such a pre-
JUDGE as to constrain the management Of
the home to contract for eastern oleomar-
garine instead of California creamery
butter
I'VE also regret that the managers of
the Soldiers home have not had the SER
vices OF an attache possessing such ac-
curate knowledge as to be able to de.ect
the impositions which have been practiced
and who would be authorized to promptly
reject articles which did not absolutely
meet the requirements Of the printed spec
incations. and who would cemand of con-
tractors the delivery of goods which would
come strictly within both the letter and
the spiri, of their contracts.
1.-The Soldiers home being a national and
not state institution, Is not amemable to
the statutes of California. which make |.
unlawful for any state Institution to use
|oleomargarine or any imitation of pure
butter. Therefore, the laws of this state
cannot be invoked in the premises. Your
committee cannot, therefore, recommend
any legal remedy. but 1t most heartily APP
proves Of the disposition Of persons inter-
ested In the dairy products Of Southern
California to agitate the question, and a,
least assist in bringing the actual facts be-
fore the public
The committee on immigration reported
In the matter of establishing California
headquarters in New York for the pur-
pose of advertising the state, that 1t could

Street Sprinkling

The question as to whether A. p. Cross.
who now holds the contract for street
sprinkling. is compelled to sprinkle streets
that are not graveled or paved but only
graded, will come before the council at IT'S
next meeting. Cross and Councilman Toll
had an argument over the matter yesterday
in which City Attorney Crutcher partici-
pated. Toll held that under his contract
Cross must sprinkle all graded streets.
Cross held, and Crutcher sustained him,
that he was only. compelled to sprinkle
streets which were graded and graveled
according to the ordinances. Cross has
been sprinkTing a number Of streets graded
with natural soil free Of charge, but owing
to the scarcity Of water he says he can
no longer afford to do II. These streets.
Cross claims. and Crutcher agrees, are
not graded within the meaning Of the or
dinances and hence should not be sprinkled,
except by private contract. The matter
VIII have to be speedily settled. or there
will be many dusty side streets in the city

An Unusual Experience

William Alexander has the unusual ex-
perience Of being tried twice on the same
charge. About week ago he was driving
along the Redondo road in company with a
woman friend, and happening to pass
where some potatoes were growing in a
field, he expressed the desire to dig some.
The woman told him to proceed, as she
had standing permission from the owners
to help herself. Alexander dug nearly a
sackful when he was interrupted by this
advent of some excited Chinese, who de-
manded why he was stealing from their
ranch. They took his rig and extorted SO
from him and then caused his arrest on
charge Of petty larceny. At his trial be-
fore Justice Sexton Alexander did not deny
having taken the potatoes, and was fined
$25. The real facts were afterwards learned
and new trial was ordered.

Who win BE Our Next Preside Mt?

Politicians are now reported as planning
for the presidential campaign Of 1900, but
the war has so overshadowed all other mat
ters that politics Is almost unnoticed. Many
people are of the opinion that the opposing
candidates will be the same as in 1896, but
there may be dark horse" who will step
in and win the race. Popularity has much
to do with candidates. This Is also true
with medicine. The most popular remedy
today Is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and
It has retained this popularity for many
years. Science never discovered the equal
of this medicine for stomach, liver, kidney
and blood diseases. 1t builds up solid
flesh tissue, dispels poisons from the sys-
tenn. imparts vigor and vitality to all organs
and makes life worth living. A single bot
tie will make a big change for the better in
women as well as in men. Try It.
