Haig holds that the man Of average
weight Celebrates twelve grains of uric
acid in twenty-four hours, and woe be-
tide him If he does not excrete the full
amount with due celebrity. A little re-
talned uric acid will give rise to head
ache, lethargy and mental depression.
A greater retention will give rise to
arthritls, lumbago and sciatica. The
uric acid mlser will end his days
through bronchitis, Brlghts disease,
apoplexy, diabetes or cancer. Man
cannot avoid his fate and cease being

to live where he belongs, near the
equator. and had fed on fruit and nuts
all might have been well. But, having
wandered from the tropics, he must be
wise or perish. Here are the rules
that one must follow TO be healthy and
live long: First, swallow no uric acid
and pass out each day regularly and
punctually all that is formed in the
body. Second, excretion Of uric acid
may be obtained by clothing warmly,
by avoiding exposure to cold in every
way (the morning cold tub is an espe-
cial abominatlon), by eating freely Of

Days of the Golden state.
The FIRST European vessel to enter
the port OF San Francisco Of which
there Is any record was the Eagle In
1916. commanded by Captain William
Ii. Davis. She sailed from Boston via
the Sandwich Islands ana Alaska. She
carried an assortment Of goods which
were revelation TO the natives, aud
their garments Of skins and hides were
substituted by the clothing OF clvillza-
ton Payments were made In bides,
tallow, soap ana fish. The Eagle then
becnme engaged in the sea otter trade
and was very successful. as offers
were plentiful In San Francisco bay
and all along the coast She made
three trips, netting about $4,000 on
each trip. This stimulated others, and
this discovery no doubt gave an i'm
petus to commerce which made this
port known to the world.
Commerce in those days Of mama
was carried on I'm what might be term
ed free and easy" manner. on
many articles the duty was 100 per
cent, which practically amounted to
conhscation or made smuggling neces-
sary in self defense, The Mexican Of
ficials generally opened the door. Ere.
quently vessels were permitted to pass
Monterey, the port Of entry, going to
Yerba Buena and, after selling as
much Of the cargo as possible, to re-
turn to Monterey for entry and dis
pose Of the remainder.
The shippers were not sworn as to
the value Of the cargo. They gave fic-
titlous invoices and by this means
would get of on the payment OF $1,000
on a $4,000 cargo.
1t became so customary to swindle
the government as scarcely to excite
comment, except in gases where goods
were concealed In false Innings OF the
vessels and the government officials

not fail him. He reached the bottom
Of the shaft safely, climbed into the
basement of the hotel and eventually
emerged upon the street.
one Of the first objects which met his
gaze as he came out into daylight was
the broad back Of Mr. Weber. That
individual was walking rapidly away.
Clearly the fraud had already been

the street and laid Il hand upon his

Weber looked at him for moment
in blank surprise. Then he suddenly
seized the boy by the back Of the neck
and threw him headlong against the
swinging doors of a barroom. Franz
landed fiat ON his face on the floor.
He bounced up like a rubber ball,
and he was the "maddest" Teuton that
ever came out Of Germany, 1t seemed
to him that he flew after Weber with
out the necessity OF touching the side

from behind, and the two fell in a
heap.
His vengeance was only beginning,
however, when he was suddenly
pulled to his feet by an enormous man
dressed in blue and carrying a club.
Whats the matter?'' demanded this
formidable creature and then repeated
the question In German.
Franz hardly knew what to say. He
could not shake himself free Of all 10y

him as a thief.

US RAM was a sturdy lad Of good
- German stock, and he had the
Il pluck that comes OF pure blood,
yet he was forced to confess
that the future looked extremely black
when he found himself utterly alone
ana friendless In New York on the first
day OF his arrival. Aside from the
dreadful noise, the bewilderlng con
fusion, the frantic haste and rudeness
OF the people. he had a private cause
FOR fearing the great city. lie had no
money. not a single penny, and he had
always been told that something In
ones pocket was more absolutely es-
aentlal to ones existence In New York
than anywhere else In the world.
They sent people home again II they
were caught without money, he had
heard, and that would be a bitter eX-
perlence for boy who had come to
make his fortune. 1t would be gross
injustice also, for he was not pauper
He had brought capital to the new
world amounting TO more than thou
sand marks in clean white currency.

so the money was all right. It was
aafe as a church, but Uncle Wilhelm
was lost. What could have become Of
hlm?
He had left Franz sitting on bench
IN Battery park and had gone to have
a glass OF beer with red faced man
whose acquaintance he had made on
the ferryboat coming across from Ho
boken.
Franz sat on the bench and turned
mis- back to the bay. He had seen
enough water in the last week and nat
urnlly found the tall buildings more In
teresting. BY and by he began to feel
the machinery II the ship that had
brought him over the ocean throbblng
in that wooden bench. This phenome-
non was at first mysterious aud then
distressing. Francs stomach protested
against II, and the boy was compelled
20 walk about
lie felt so much better afoot that he
walked too far and could not find his
way back to the bench where his I'M
Gle had left him. II seemed that this
park, though so small, was a very con-
fusing place, and yet If he and his un-
Gle should walk about there looking for
each other they must meet eventually.
so Franz tramped and tramped until
the clock on the square red tower had
measured the flight of two hours.
lie was then quite sure that Uncle
Wilhelm was not in the park. He
therefore accosted man In a blue uni
form and began 10 state the case to
him, but the Individual In blue could
not understand German and clearly
regarded the matter as none OF his
business. But another man who had
been strollng along behind Franz for
several minutes stepped up to him at
this juncture.
''That isn't policeman" said he In
German. That's a conductor Of car.
II you want to go to the station house

Franz thought that the man was very
