Events during the past few months In the
Chicago wheat pit have shown how powerful
a single man can be. Through his influence
wheat more than doubled In price. Through
out the whole of civilization the increase In
the price of bread has been felt. This pows-
of a single man. however, is not so great a s
the power of one single medicine in relieving
and curing many diseases. This medicine is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and Its influ-
ence for good extends to all lands. When
the mouth tastes badly In the morning
when appetite is lost when dizzy spells come
on, when there is buzzing in the ears, when
you are easily tired and have no desire to
work. take a wneglass of the Bitters before
meals and you will feel like different per-
son. This one medicine controls the health
of everybody Just as surely as the one Chi
cago man controlled the price of wheat.

SLIGHT TO THE RED CROSS
White Cross Nurses to Go to the
Philippines

Philippines
Mrs. w. B. Hartman, president Of the
state Red Cross. telegraphed yesterday to
the Los Angeles division as follows: Can
not send women nurses. Nothing new
from hospital ship. Have telegraphed
Washington for news as to White Cross
ship" The message was sent in reply TO
inquiries made by the local society, called
out by the rather disquieting information
contained in the northern papers in the
Fast few days concerning the formation of
rival society with special privileges.
The women of the state of Washington
have started an organization called the
White Cross, with the wife of the governor
and other women of position and influence
at the head. In some way the White Cross
has found favor in the eyes of the ubiqu!-
tous secretary of war, and he has given
this practically unknown society the pref
erence in sending nurses to Manila on the
transports Scandal and Arizona. The Red
Cross of California, being auxiliary to tbs
American national society," considers this
a direct slap in the face from the powers
that be. The state organization had in
tended sending more nurses to strengthen
L
pines, but is met with the astounding news
from Washington that White Cross nurses
will be taken.
Adding insult to injury, the latter, 1t Is
said, are women, the sex whose services the
government has set its face against like
flint, from the Red Cross, in the depart
ment of the Philippines. The work of the
Red Cross in San Francisco for the volun-
teers has been generous and unseltish in
the extreme, and the Los Angeles division
has furnished everything for which 1t was
called upon, from shelter tents to shoes,
and it is probable that hats may soon be
included. The latter necessary articles Of
a soldiers equipment are worn out, and If
Companies A. c and F are to wear hats on
their heads to the Philippines the Los An
geles division will probably have to supply
them. Both the state and local societies
are at loss to understand the treatment
the California Red Cross is receiving from
the government, and. as stated, kilograms
have been sent to ascertain the true state
of affairs concerning the nurses and the
hospital ship which it is said will also he
sent by the White Cross
Judge Sheldon, one of the vice presidents
of the American Red Cross. has been in
San Francisco some weeks in the Interest
of the society A public meeting Will be
held there this week, at which 1t Is hoped
delegates will be present and reports of the
work in all parts of the state will be heard.

end vice president, was chosen to represent
Los Angeles, and full report of the work

Thew Named a Wait

The children of Unity Sunday school last
Sunday morning were given the distinction
of selecting a name for the baby boy that
was left on a lawn at Twenty-fifth street
and Grand avenue, some five weeks ago and
who is now an inmate of the Victoria re-
celving home, awaiting adoption. This
honor was conferred on the school in con-
sideration of its paying the last install-
ment on an assumed obligation Of $40 per
year for five years, making it a patron
member and emitting ID to place a child in
a name of its own choosing.
Three names were submitted, and the one
receiving the largest number of votes was
that of the noted and able pioneer Unitarian
divine of California Starr King.

A Sad Case

An old woman aged 70 years called at the
police station yesterday and to Chief Glass
related a story of neglect and shameful
treatment. She claimed to be the mother
of James Platt, who is the deputy constable
that got into trouble with Mrs. lie Brun
while arresting her on July 4th for dis
turbing the peace at the corner of Winston
and Wall streets. Mrs. Platt said that her
son was trying to get rid of her and had
failed to provide her with food. In conse-
quence she was on the point of starvation.
Chief Glass directed her to go to the office
of Constable Johnston, and her case would
probably be investigated.

The assessment of the Santa Fe Pacific
has been reduced by the state board of
equalization thousand dollars a mile for
the road between Mojave and Barstow, a
distance of seventy-one miles. While this
was the property of the Southern Pacific
the board thought that it was properly as
sessed; but now that the Santa Fe has OBJ
tanned ownership by a trade with the
Southern Pacific, the equalizers have come
to the conclusion that the assessment Of
last year was too high. The assessment
was then placed at 81 Ass ,000 and is now
