Smith. It is almost impossible to iso- late patients suffering from contagious troubles when hundreds are together in those big barns of buildings. The Nassar patients are cared for by Dr Thelberg and Dr. Grace Kimball both women; the latter is the girl who was safeguarded from the United States legation in Constantinople down to the Galata wharf during the Armenian riots by the stars and stripes, and who afterward enormously stated that the flag was not respected in Turkey.
 Personally having seen Armenians where they grow, look for decrease in sympathy for them here, now that they are coming to this country in such numbers.
 There was in Providence, R. L, some years ago. a strike of boys in fac tory. Armenians were employed in their places and have remained there ever since, earning considerably less than a dollar a day and saving money with which they embark in the rag business, yielding their places to new corners. They are as shrewd in busi' ness as even the Greeks, who now con. trol half the retail fruit business ot New York, and probably are numerous in other cities.

"Ill just tell you what, Teddie, she cried. i've thought of a splendid plan. You haven't any papa, and haven't any mamma. Now, my papa is rich, you know-eFer 50 rich-and he can do anything he likes.

 What a magnificent scene for the reveIs of Friday night was the Wander bilt house! Aside from the dreary pal aces of royalty, there is nothing to compare with 1t in London.

Such is the discipline three years continued, of very or dinary young man for suiting himself with wife. instead of suiting his father; such the iron will of the man in all America who owns the most money and fewest smiles.

A more pitiful sight than mother and
her child, both captives and shackled in a
dungeon, could not we'll be imagined.
There are thousands of mothers and their
babes who lie shack1ed by disease in the
dungeon of death.
Without knowing it, or having the faint
est comprehension of it, the fault lies with
the mother Too many women enter upon
the responsibilities OF wifehood and moth
erhood while suffering from weakness and
disease of the delicate and important or
Cans that make wifehood and motherhood
possible. Awoman who suffers in this way
cannot be capable wife and competent
mother. Before entering upon the duties
and responsibilities of these positions, she
should see to it that her health, both gen.
era1 and local, is thoroughly restored. DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the best
of all medicines for this purpose. 1t acts
directly on the sensitive organs concerned,
making them strong, healthy and vigorous.
1t promotes regularity of the functions,
allays irritation and inflammation, heals
liberation, checks unnatural and exhaust
ing drains and soothes pain. 1t tones and
builds up the shattered nerves. 1t turns
the dangers and pains of maternity into
safety and ease 1t is medicine that is
intended for this one purpose only and is
good for no other Dealers sell it and no
honest dealer will suggest substitute.

Eds. Record Union: As one who
has known Colonel D. M. Burns init
mately since 1873, I desire to enter my
humble but emphatic protest against
the abuse which is daily being
heaped upon him by those who are OPP
posed to him in his candidacy for the
United States Senate. And in thus pro-
testing know that I but voice the sem
timents Of thousands of those who best
know the man. Dan" Burns is one of
the truest, bravest and most generous
and sympathetic men whom have ever
known, and he possesses in an eminent
degree that most laudable characters
tic of true manhood-grateful remem-
brance Of favors received and stanch
loyalty and unwavering truth to his
friends.
Where he IS best known is where ne
is held in the highest esteem, and
those who are loudest in their abuse OF
the man at this time are those who do
not know him at all.
Here is a case in point: A well-known
business man of Woodland, Yolo Coun-
ty, Democrat in politics, told me
day or two ago that representative OF
the San Francisco Chronicle" called
upon him for an expression of opinion
concerning Colonel Burns, but when he
learned in what high esteem he held
the Colonel, replied that that was not
what he wanted, and asked to be di-
rected to some one who held a different
opinion. He was plainly told that he
would have to go to some community
in which Colonel Burns was not so
we'll known.
/ am not unknown in this community,
and am sure my motive in inditing this
communication will not be misunder-
stood. am not seeker for any favors,
present or prospective; and l am writ
ing this without the knowledge of Colo
mel Burns or any of his friends. 1t is
a simple tribute to the worth and truth
of one whom know to be unjustly
abused, and such a tribute as I am
sure thousands of those who know Dan
Burns would be glad to pay at this
time / believe In the great big Amer
lean spirit of fair play
Those who shah support in the Legis-
lature the candidacy Of Dan Burns will
be fully justified when, in good time,
he shall choose to vindicate himself, as
he can and surely will, from the mali
cious and wicked charges so industri-
ously circulated by his opponents. He
is a cool. brave, dead game man. and
can bide his time.

DOCTORS WANT new LAWS.
STATE HEALTH BOARD DIS
CUss PURE FOOD.
They Will Also Seek to stamp
Out the Deadly
Anthrax.

There was meeting Of the State
Board Of Health at the rooms Of the
Lunacy Commissioners. at the Capitol,
yesterday afternoon. After consider
able attention to purely routine mat
tiers the question Of anthrax was dis
cussed, and the board finally concluded
to strongly recommend law which
Will make 1t q penalty to refuse to dis
infect living cattle that have anthrax
or to incinerate the dead. It was de-
cided to uphold the State Veterinarian
in all that he has done relative to
stamping out anthrax, and to use all
honorable means to induce the Legisla-
ture to pass stringent laws relative to
anthrax and other diseases among cat
tie.
There was an informal discussion of
questions pertaining to pure food mat
tiers, with a view of having pure food
laws passed, by which it will be possible
to protect citizens against adultera-
tons. +
j. P. Dockery. the Food Inspector Of
San Francisco, was before the board in
behalf Of the movement for pure food
laws. Mr.. Dockery had long list Of
the various societies and bodies Of citi-
zens that have already Endorsed the
proposition of legislating for protection
OF the public against adulterated food.
The plan is to have a Food Com
MISSION" said Mr.. Dockery, (which is to
Serve without pay. except their expenses
while travelling on duty. They
are to investigate all the
abuses in market and do all
they can to secure the prosecution of
vendors of impure food, such as milk,
butter, olive oil and all the products
that are subject to adulteration. The
movement has thus far been Endorsed
by the following organizations: The
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce,
State Board Of Trade. Mechanics Insti-
tute, Builders Exchange, Manufac-
turers' and Producers Association,
Good Roads League State Horticultural
Society, State Board Of Health and
State Fruit Growers Association. There
is decided feeling throughout the
State that something of substantial
nature should be done to put stop to
the shameful sale Of spurious food in
the State
After the meeting was over it was de-
cided to meet again subject to the call
comforting with the Code Commissioners
relative to the necessary amendments
to effect the reform desired. The board
visited the Governor for a little while,
to consult on the subject Of intended
legislation and pay their RESPECTS, after
which they dispersed.

To be Buried To-Day.

The funeral Of the late Edward p.
Carragher, son of E. J. Carragher OF
1926 N street, will take place from the
Cathedral at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
The removal of the remains from the
house will be private, owing to the i'll
ness of the father.
The deceased was held in the highest
esteem by every one that knew him,
and especially by his fellow-pupils OF
the High School, where he was re-
garded as an unusually bright and
promising student. The community
deeply sympathizes with the young
mans family and other relatives, this
being their third, bereavement within
the space of a few months.
