The front and rear ends are round, giving the 'shanties the appear ance of a river trading boat of the early days. On the north side of Cali fornia street between Kearny and Du- stands back short distance from the street. The material was brought around the Horn in 1849 in sections. Like other pioneers 1t has passed through many gradations and changes and from it's retired position on the slope of the hill has seen the waters recede from Montgomery to it's pres ent boundaries and the chapparal re- moved from the hill to the west, now known as Mob hill, and crowned with mansions of the rich. No doubt; it seems strange to the people of these latter days why lumber and bricks were brought from New York and Philadelphia for the construction of houses, when we had forests of timber at our doors and plenty of earth for the manufacture of bricks. But in those days every one went to the mines. They wanted to strike it rich quick and few mechanics could be had for $2O a day."
 Our last view of San Francisco bay was obtained when we took the ferry across to Oakland on our homeward trip. It is a land-locked harbor and is called one of the largest, deepest and safest harbors in the world. We could not in the three days time we were there get much more than gen ask being limited because we had turned our steps toward home. Our tickets had been bought, our itineracy mapped out, and we must get on the way. Crossing San Francisco Bay on the morning of July 12, we took the train at Oakland with Salt Lake City to be our first stop. Our course by the Southern Pacific takes us across the state in southeasterly direction 23O miles before we cross the line into Nevada. From San Francisco to Sac ramentO, a run of 90 miles, takes us for considerable distance along the bay and through 3 richly cultivated section where garden truck is raised for the city market. Acres are given up to asparagus and that in many sec Berries and citrus fruits are also in abundance and all find ready sale and good market in the Golden Gate City. We cross the Sacramento river little while before reaching the city of that name. The American and Sacramen to rivers join near the city making river of considerable size and the de- scent toward the bay is so slight that the banks often overflow. At its normal heighth it is rather sluggish river but sailing vessels sail up the river some distance and river steamers run excursions from San Francisco. AS we travel easterly the soil changes and stock raising and wheat growing predominate all through the Sacra- mento valley. Next to San Joaquin valley, it is the &-@ R.

Colusa, CAL, April 1Sth.-Much has
been said and written recently about
Uric Acid in the system; what causes
it and how to get rid Of it. 1t is
known to be the first cause of Rheuma-
tism and many other diseases and has
therefore received great deal OF atten-
ton from medical men.
Mr.. L. F. Moulton of this place
claims that he has solved the problem
Of how to get this acid out of the sys-
tenn. He says:
IT had this acid trouble myself for
years. At times the Kidney secretions
would be very profuse and at other
times scant but the acid was always
my greatest trouble. Medicine failed
to cure me till at last l heard of REM
edy called Dodd's Kidney Pills and
after taking box l seemed to be en-
tirely cured. However it came back on
me and this time I took several boxes
with the result that l was completely
and permanently cured. This was
three years ago and have not had q
single symptom Of the acid trouble
since. am rs years Of age and I am
we'll as ever l was."

1.-THE use of Quinine is growing
apace on the part of the general pub
lic." Edward ID. Driscoll, pharmacist,
tells me, land large number of the
people possess veritable craze for it
They dose themselves with quinine
on the slightest provocation, and ap-
pear to regard 1t as a universal cure
all. Not only is 1t demanded for colds
and fevers, but for stomach disorders
and score of other ills.
Zone customer of mine recently be-
came slightly nauseated after eating,
and he took quinine, In the full be-
lief that 1t would put period to the
sick feeling, while another entertains
theory that quinine is good for the
kidneys and takes the drug regularly
when he fancies there, Is anything
wrong with his organs These are just
people entertain regarding qulnine. l
could quote scores of ideas about its
use for other physical troubles If 1t
were necessary. How such beliefs
have ever sprung up cannot imagine,
but I know persons who dose them
selves with quinine for everything
from a pain In their foot to pneumo
mia.
This Is the time of year when the
craze for quinine is most noticeable,
and I think the people ought to know
that while 1t is good thing for GER
tain ailments, when aiken under the
direction of a physician, 1t has some
what injurious effects when taken pro-
miscuously and for any old trouble
whatever. If the heart is weak a
heavy dose of qulnine will have n bad
effect on 1t, producing palpitation in
many cases. 1t will also cause head
aches, congestion in the nasal passages
and quite few other ills. st. Louis

DELICIOUS CELERY

Lovers of ali kinds Of delicious salads

Celery is now pouring into Washing

crisp and delicious celery as when the
turkey steams on the Thanksgiving
table

and one that lasted during an unusually
short season Thanksgiving Day would
see the first real ripe outlay and shortly
after Christmas IL would be possible TO
find but few stalks in market.
Celery the Year Round.
Now" according to a local dealer,
celery can be bought all the year
round. and every day in the year for
that matter. Plants have been estab-
lished through New York State that
produce ahe finest crop Of celery on the
market. 1t is from these farms that the
present great outlay has come and we
are now handling the largest supply Of
one OF the money making staples Of the
American gardener.
Twenty years ago Michigan was noted
for its fine celery product and even to
this day visitors 10 that State can find
delicious celery on the table of every
home and in every hotel. Kalamazoo
held the record for celery growing. and
its products found their way into every
State in the country. The fine quality
OF the Michigan celery so increased the
demand for the product that soon other
States went into growing IT and about
ten years ago Michigan found a strong
competitor in New York. That State
today sends to Washington the finest
crop Of celery local dealers have ever
handled.
