bacco is always clean? 1t a
man drops a piece of meat, no
matter how clean the floor may
be, he will either give it a kick
or pick it up and lay it to one

let him drop his plug of tobacco

how dirty the spot was where
it fell, he will pick it up and
give it a careless swipe on his
coat sleeve OR on the bosom of
his pants and then take a chew
with greater relish than ever.

The managers of the Rock

rebuild their entire system
with a view to securing mini
mum grades on every division.
By the reduction of the grades
they will be able to raise the
average train load to $50 tons
thereby saving several millions
of dollars annually in operating
expenses. The average train
load at present on the Rock
Island road,is 298 t ms. It is
expected the work of rebuilding
will take several years.

The Rebekah's.

Last Saturday evening was a
great time with the Rebekah's
in this city. Six new members
were introduced and instructed
in due form, and after work, a
short time was spent in social
visiting with the visiting MEM
bers from Magnolia, then the
banquet room was thrown open
and all were invited to enter
and partake of the good things
prepared for the occasion.
These social exchange visits
between the members of the
different lodges does much to
promote friendship and extend
the lines of the Order. At a
late hour the banqueters
adjourned, all feeling that they
had enjoyed a very pleasant
evening.

SEEKS POSSESSION OF BOYS
Mrs. Verda Wilson Wants to Recover
Her Two Children, Who Are
in Orphans Home

A writ of habeas corpus was issued
yesterday by Judge Trask In depart
ment four of the superior court to Mrs.
Verda Wilson for the recovery of her
two boys, Arthur and Ernest. ages six
and eight, who are now in the Rice
Orphans Home.
The writ was made returnable before
Judge Gibbs in department two of the
superior court Friday afternoon and
then, through Attorney McKelvy, Mrs
Wilson will fight for the recovery of
her little ones.
Mrs. Wilson told a sad story yester-
day. She was married at the age Of
fourteen years to Victor Wilson. a bar
ber. That was eleven years ago, and
the woman, now twenty-five years of
age. is the mother of five children.
Three months ago, according to her
allegations, her husband got on one
great drunk and went to Bakersfield
taking his children with him. The
next she learned OF the wherea bouts of
her little ones was that two of them
had been sent to the Rice home In
Los Angeles for safekeeping by the
Bakersfield court.

RULERS OF THE WORLD
Meat Batting Nations Are the Leaders In Every
Branch Of Human Achievement

The ruling nations Of the world are
meat eaters and history records that
they always have been.
Vegetarians and food cranks may ex-
plain this In any way they choose, but
the facts remain that the Americans,
English, French, Russians and Ger
mans are meat-eating nations, and
they are also the most energetic and
most progressive.
The principal food of the heroic Boer
soldier, known as Biltong, Is a sort of
dried beef, affording a great deal of
punishment in a highly concentrated
form.
The weak races of people are the rice
eating Chinese, Hindoos and Siamese,
regarded since the dawn OF history as
non-progressive, superstitlous and in
ferior physically and mentally to the
meat-eating nations who dominate
them.
The structure of the teeth plainly
indicates that human beings should
subsist upon a variety Of food, meat
fruit and grains, and II is unhygienic
to conflne ones diet to any one of those
classes to the exclusion Of another.
Meat Is the most concentrated and
most easily digested Of foods, but our
manner of living Is often so unnatural
that the digestive organs refuse to
plOpSlly ulBeSI meat, eggs ana Sl1nllar
nutritious and wholesome food, but it
Is not because such food Is unwhole-
some. but the real reason Is that the
stomach lacks. from disease or weak
ness, some necessary digestive element; /;
hence arising indigestion and, later on,
chronic dyspepsia.
Nervous people should eat plenty Of
meat, convalescents should make meat
the principal food, hard working people
have to do so, and brain workers
and office men should eat, not so much
meat, but at least once a day, and to
insure its perfect digestion one or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should
be taken after each meal, because they
supply the peptones diastase and fruit
acids lacking in every case of stomach
trouble.
Nervous dyspepsia, catarrh of stom-
ach, gastritis, sour stomach, gas and
acidity are only different names for in
Digestion the failure to digest whole
some food, and the use of Stuarts
Dyspepsia Tablets cures them all be-
cause, by affording perfect digestion,
the stomach has a chance to rest and
recover it's natural tone and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
real household medicine; 1t is as safe
and pleasant for the stomach ache of
the baby as it is for the imperfect di-
gestion of its grandsire.
They are not cathartc but a di-
gestive. and no pill habit can ever fol-
low their use; the only habit Stuart's
Tablets induce is the habit of good di-
gestion and consequently good health.

SEEK SHELTER FRANCHISE
Capitalists Appear Before San Pedro
Board of Trustees and Apply
for PRIVILEGES

The San Pedro board of trustees con-
sidered a proposition from the Califor-
mia Smelling and Chemical company
relative to its application for a fran
chise to erect plant in the city and
for certain rights and privileges on
city grounds on the water front.
No definite action was taken by the
board beyond the appointment of a
committee to meet with Fred L. Nc
Gahan, inventor of the vacuum process
of smelling ores and vice president and
manager of the company
The company was represented by Mr..
McGahan, c. w. Chamberlain of Fort
Smith, Ark, president of the Cornella
Copper company of Ajo, Ariz. H. B.
Sails of Fort Smith, Ark, president
of the Rescue Copper company of Ajo,
Ariz., John r. Brodie, secretary of the
Arizona Independent Vacuum Smelt-
ing company, Garner Curran, secre-
tary of the California Smelling and
Chemical company and e. C. Flagler
and j. Thomas, expert.
The company wants a franchise to
erect its plant. water front privileges
and a twenty-five acre site. In re-
turn, the company guarantees to erect
a plant which will emit no offensive
fumes and will employ one thousand
men within eighteen months
The proposition OF the company was
discussed by its representatives, the
trustees and representatives from the
San Pedro chamber of commerce. all
of whom spoke favorably of the plans.
1t Is said that the reduction of ores
would be a minor feature of the COM
pany, as they expect to save all the by
products and manufacture acids, tine
lures and all chemicals obtained from
metallic substances. And later the
company would put the baser metals
on the market in the form of sheet
lead. copper and other finished pro-
ducts.

VIII Preserve Valuable Papers

In the jumble of reports there are
number which are hardly worth keep
ing, and when Judge Monroe asked re-
lief, 1t was proposed by some of the
supervisors to make a bonfire out of
the collection. Chairman Patterson
made an investigation yesterday, and
upon learning the value of the papers
in the collection, he decided to con-
suit the district attorney concerning
the disposition of the reports.
II understand that some provision
is contemplated for this collection when
the new library building is built" said
Chairman Patterson yesterday. I'm
the meantime many of the priceless
relics are becoming ruined, packed as
they are in the garret where no atten-
ton is paid to them. l will consult
the supervisors and we may find some
good light room in this building where
all these valuable papers can be kept
while the unimportant ones can be de-
stroyed. These things should be put
where people can see them.
"If we cannot find a place in the
court house and the district attorney
deems it legal, we may rent some con-
venient room down town where these
things can be displayed. They should
be one of Los Angeles chief exhibits
for the tourists who visit here. 1t is a
pity that we have no museum here
where these records can be kept"

Unless some action is taken immedi-

The pamphlets reports and various
other important papers which compose
the collection are stored away in a
room on the fourth floor of the county

retary of the society has been near
the room for several months past and
the dust and mold has accumulated
over the documents until Judge Charles
Monroe, whose court room is immedi-
ately below the store room, has COM
planned to the county supervisors for
relief from the odor of musty paper.
Many of the documents are of the
most vital Importance to Southern Cal
