MODEL YACHTSMEN PLAN
AN IMPORTANT MEETING
Question of New Racing Rules Will
Be Discussed and Acted
Upon Shortly.

Golfers racing system will be given
its third and last trial to-day on
Spreckels Lake. 1t has given satisfac-
ton on the two previous trials and
if all goes we'll it will behoove the club
members to adopt the new rules. The
objection to them was that they would
string the Sunday pennant racing out
and make it impossible to dispose OF
the pennant in a single day. To test
this the owners were asked to bring
out as many boats as possible. They
did so and the races have been finished
early in the afternoon and have been
enjoyed more than ever before.
The next meeting of the club, which
will be on the second Wednesday night
in August, will be an important one.
The annual election of officers will take
place and the question of pennant rae
ing rules will be decided. If Golfers
rules are rejected, new ones will have
to be formulated. as the old ones as
set forth In the bylaws have not
proved satisfactory. The club will
give a smoker on the night of the
meeting.
The ticket as nominated last We'd
nesday will undoubtedly go through.
William B. Collier will succeed J. E.
Genung as commodore. The latter has
led the club since its organization and
he has worked wonders. Starting with
a membership of eight two years ago
he has increased the membership to
the limit-50-and there is quite a
waiting list. His clubmates were anx-
ious to make him their leader again
but he figures he can accomplish more
as the secretary treasurer of the club
Collier is an indefatigable worker and
will fill Genung's place as no other
member of the club could.

WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions by Or. Hartman. How
to Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident to Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due TO
anamic nerve centers- The nerve CEN
ters are the reservoir for nerve vitality.
These centers become bloodless for tho
want of proper nutrition
This condition is especially noticeable
during the warm season. Every sum
ner an army of invalids are produced a.
direct result of weak nervous systems
This could easily be overcome by tho
use of Peruna- Peruna strikes At tho
roo. of the trouble by correcting the
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes
increased nutrition for the nerve can
;ers- Perfectly digested food gives these
reservoirs Of life q vitality which Gro
ates strong, steady nerves, and in this
manner fortifics and nourishes life.
Miss Blanche Grey a prominent young
society woman of Memphis, Tenn, in .
recent letter from ia Alabama street,
writes: TO a society woman whose
nervous force is often taxed to tho
utmost from lack of rest and irregular
meals, ! know Of nothing which fs Of 20
much benefit ss Peruna. / took it
few months ago when felt my strength
giving way, and IL soon made ifsek
manifest In giving me new sfre1gfA
and health. Mis- Blanche Grey.
Pe-ru-ua Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in 50 many homes is that
Il contains no narcotic of any kind. Pc
runa is perfectly harmless. 1t can DO
used any length of time without acquir-
ing drug habit Peruna does not pro-
duce temporary results 1t is perma-
nent in its effect
1t has no bad effect upon the system.
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of eatarrh. There
are a multitude of homes where Peruna
has been used off and on for twenty
years Such thing could not be pos
sible IL Peruna contained any drugs OF
a narcotic nature.
At this season OF the year we arc
peculiarly liable to inhammations of tho
stomach and bowels. 1t is the part OF
wisdom TO learn how to cut them short
and in the easist and quickest manner.
Peruna does this by its peculiar power
over all forms OF catarrhal troubles.

New Use for phone.

To apply for a position when you
are out of work by telephone is one
OF the latest manifestations of the
universal convenience Of long-distance
talking No need now to advise the
impecunious young man to borrow $25
of somebody else-for a new suit,
hat and gloves in order that he may
give out the impression of not being
poor. The man at the phone will
listen only to the quality of his ut
terance, and will not be affected by
the color Of the tie the youth has on.
The net saving, therefore, of getting
job over the wire, supposing that
the young man has to call up fifty
different business men. is S20-a tidy
little sum toward staving off the as
signment-of-wages man. Great is
modern economy.-Boston Transcript.

A Genuine Message in a Bottle.

Six years ago the British schooner
Ethel mysteriously disappeared en-
route from Bombay to Port Said. Her
owners. Barefoot & Co, of the latter
port, gave her mp for lost, and since
that time until last month her fate re-
NAMED mystery to the world.
It was an empty and tightly corked
wine bottle that brought the story OF
her fate and that of Capt. Lee and his
crew to land. The bottle was discov-
cred by Capt. Lombard on the beach
of the island of Fukave, situated in the
South Seas, and the note it contained
reads as follows:
"Will the finder of this inform
Messrs. Barefoot e Co. of Port Said
that their schooner, Ethel, foundered
about 900 miles from Bombay? This
note is written by the sole survivors,
Capt. Lee and Seaman Thomas who
are in their last hopes. Signed ]. 7.

And the early. streaks OF morning DER the

When, all he ygard, broken, old. / seek
my long~neglected bed
With a humping In my bosom and an
aching In my head,
Then / feel vague uneasiness thai
thrills me as | pass
Where the warning gazes at me from my

When upon my solar plexus Fate has
landed with a thud
And Adversely has trampled me low
down into the mud:
Then l gaze into my mirror and lot OF

Just TO see that bless creationl I'm a

And ' smooth the wrinkles woven by the
troubles that harass
As pause and gaze a while into my

the pathway of the years.
Building riches for myself out of a BROTH

When my character is written i'm each
cruel curve and line,
And my soul is long a stranger to a
ray of Gods sunshine,
All tho wealth I've given life and health
and honor to amass
Turns TO ashes Of repentance In my
faithful looking glass.
On my wall II hangs-a monitor that
never natters me
Never passes DER a crowfoot with some
gentle sophistry;
l may break a Jest with Fortune, may
fout the coming Death,
I may swear my heart is lighter than the

But all vanities and follies / have cher

Silk from Spiders Web.

A. Michelon registered at the Louis
Vile hotel yesterday as being from
Cincinnati, but his every gesture and
his accent marked him as a son OF
Franco and showed that Cincinnati is
merely an adopted home. He sells
silks.
"The art Of manufacturing silk from,
the web of spiders is being gradually
accomplished" he said. 1T is yet in
it's early stages and it is hard TO say
what the result will be, but there is
not any reason why it should not be
done. The French silkmakers expect
to get a better and different grade OF
silk from this method. 1t will be
much lighter and will be serviceabla
only for certain purposes, but it viii,
certainly be a beautiful product.

GAVE HIM AN INSPIRATION.
Traveller Saw Great Opportunity for
Thrilling Melodrama.

Thrilling Melodrama.
When was coming up the Colum-
bia river last month" said 4 man who
travels, 1T struck me that the men
who write melodramas are letting one
of their grandest opportunities 60 to
waste. II | were going to write a
hair-raising play, I'd lay the scene OF
II out in the lumber country along the
Columbia river. The hills rise almost
straight from the banks Of the stream,
and every now and then, way up a
couple of thousand feet above the
water, you see little tramway built
to carry logs to the mills. A crazy
little engine puf.s along till 1t reaches
point where the logs can be shot
down the hill to the water, and the
logs are unloaded. One by one they
shoot down the hill and into the river.
When a log strikes the water col
umn of spray rises fifty feet into the
air, and has time to die away in rip
pies before the log rises to the sur
face. It's the most magnificent thing
to watch that you can imagine, and
when l write play I'm going to uti-
lie IL. / haven't thought out all the
details yet. but | think I'll have the
villain get the papers-villains in mel
odrama could give the ash man points
about collecting papers-and peg the
hero down on one OF those lumber
chutes. The heroine, who happens to
be taking a pleasure excursion on the
tramway, sees the dastardly deed from
the top of the chute. She springs
upon log which Is about to go down,
steers it carefully to one side and
picks up the hero as she goes past.
I'll have to have a tank and some
practicable logs, but as a thriller my
scene lays way over sawmills and
trains and burning buildings on the
stage. It's sure to be winner, and II
| find it can't be dramatized | think
I'll make q book Of 1t. It's too good
an idea to be lost"
