CHANGE OF CLIMATE
WON'T CURE CONSUMPTION
The Slocum System Is Needed.
A Curative Medicinal Treatment Founded on Modern
Scientific Truths Is More Potent
Than Air Alone.


If those of our readers who reside in
the most highly favored sections of this
country, where the climate is healthy
and invigorating, with a dry and tonic
atmosphere, will look about them, they
will see a greater or less number Of
their friends and neighbors dying of
consumption, while many others have
already been carried off by that dread
malady.
These deaths have occurred from
time to time amid the refreshing prai-
RE breezes Of summer; in the fair and
mellow days of autumn. and also in
the dry and sunny seasons Of south
ern winter.
Such deaths amid such favorable
surroundings afford positive and con-
vincing proof that climate alone will
not cure consumption; that neither
pine-laden breezes nor bracing mount
ain air will restore weak lungs or build
up a constitution that is being under
mined and broken down by the insid-
ious germs of a fatal disease.
But, on the other hand, many thou
sands of testimonials from grateful
people all over this country, who have
been cured by the DR.. Slocum System
of Treatment and are to-day in the en-
ioyment of perfectly restored health
and strength, afford the most conVinc-
ing evidence that this treatment, aided
by favorable climatic conditions and
surroundings, is a positive cure for
Consumption, Asthma and all other
chronic diseases of the Throat, Chest
and Lungs.
Therefore, those who go to the
mountains. the seashore or to southern
climates, as we'll as those who already
reside in such favored localities, should
not fail TO take the DR.. Slocum System
of Treatment if they wish to derive the

The number Of men who come from the
country on visit with money IN their

though cases are published in the press
from time to time, the bunko men con-
tinue to gather in victims. After coming
to the conclusion that they have been

for assistance in recovering their money
When the bunko men are arrested the
victims get a return of a portion or the
whole of the money from friends of the
prisoners and depart for home. rms re-

A young man, accompanied by TREND
called at the office of the Chief of Police
yesterday morning. He said he had been
robbed by bunko men of between $500 and
$500, and he wanted the police to get back
the money When asked for his name he
refused to give it, remarking that the
police could get his money without his
name. He was informed that the Police
Department was not a collection agency
and unless he gave his name and partic-
ulars of where and how he lost the money
no action would be taken.
He consulted with his friend, and then
said his name was James Riley and that
he was a ranch hand in Sonoma County,

terrible import that are glad to with

The teachers cannot draw the $4,000 be-
cause the merchant creditors have claims
amounting to more than $40. 600. which they
are protecting with injunction. Judge
Seawel tells teachers and merchants that
OF the revenue for any one month are il
regal claims and cannot be paid with the
public moneys. We know that our sslar-
les are legal claims. The merchants con-
cede that about one-half of their claims
cannot be collected legally. They do not say.

70 raise the injunction, allow the teachers

the teachers assign their claim to the No
vember and December salaries to a trustee,
who, in the event of the city at some future
day making good the teachers salaries for
these months, shall pay TO the merchants
the S95' 600 that the law viii not allow
them to collect.
There are about one thousand teachers
interested in these proceedings. About two
hundred did not join in the suit. OF the
remainder many do not understand the le-
gal phra seology that is presented to them
and think they are going to get one-half of
their salaries. AS a matter Of fact If they
accept this proposition, allowing for heavy
the dollar.
There are. however, a large body of teach
ers who are justly indignant that they
should be even asked 10 discuss a cCmpro-
mise. These teachers do not want TO be
misunderstood. They are not fighting the
merchants and never have been, neither are
they battling to help these men to collect
their bills.
We feel that either we are entitled TO our
November and December salaries or We are
not. There is no middle ground. That the
money for these salaries has been diverted
TO other channels we are convinced. but to
establish this fact and 10 get a judgment
can be accomplished only with great loss
OF time and money and at the sacrifice Of
our peace of mind. All of this would tend
to impair our professional usefulness.
We are willing to let the great and gen.
erous city Of San Francisco decide whether
she will accept services from her teachers
for a period OF two months and then repu-
diate the payment of their salaries.

James Mackey, a one time wealthy man
and proprietor of sailors boarding
house on the water front, attempted sui
eide last evening by hanging himself TO a
beam in his cell at the City Prison.
Turnkey Hickey was attracted to his
cell by his groans and Immediately en-
tered to ascertain the cause. He found
Mackey hanging from the beam by means
of a bandana handkerchief, and cut him
down. The prisoner was unconscious and
there five minutes more would have died.
Mackey was hurriedly taken TO the Re
ceiving Hospital and attended by Drs.
Tormey and Rumwell. The prisoner had
been brought from the California street
station earlier in the day and placed in
the drunkards' cell.
