Expert Opinion by One Who Evident
Iy Knows the Species.
The gentleman who is called the
drummer is frequently the whole band

consequently music in the air when
he is around. After he is gone the
music is Of another brand, for the
man who has bought bill of goods
that he didn't want frequently says
things.
The drummer is great builder.
Sometimes he makes as many al
three towns in day. One would
think while he was at it that he
would make a few hotels. for he ID
never satisfied with the ones that
he finds along the way.
Let us be kind to the drummer, 70

that he meets on his travels do not

RENTS SMALL
EXCESS TAXES
Board Decides Not to Print
the Names Of $1,000 Delin-
quent Property Holders
TO BUY CITY CEMETERY
Accepts Offer of Site in
San Mateo County Subject
to Confirmation of Title

The Board of Supervisors yesterday
adopted the recommendation of the FL
nance Committee that the names of
some 81 900 delinquent taxpayers on the
unsecured personal property roll, whose
unpaid balances amount to one cent
or less be omitted from the delinquent
tax list Of the year 1904. The excess
tax became due owing to the fact that
taxes were collected under the rate for
1903, and the tax rate for 1904 adopted
subsequently, was about one cent on
every $I00. Tax Collector Smith re-
ported that the cost of printing the
delinquentS will amount to three cents
per name and the placing of house
holders on the delinquent list would
entail great hardship in penalties.
A resolution was adopted accepting
the offer of the Brooks estate to sell to
the city twenty-five acres of land in
San Mateo County for $3.50, to
cemetery for San Francisco. The
site adjoins the Chinese Cemetery
and the city cemetery owned by Ed
ward Kelly, one of the contractors for
the burial of the INDECENT dead. The
final acceptance of the offer is subject
to the City Attorneys approval of the
title. An appropriation of $4,000 was

construction of sewers and macadam-
izing the roadway and sidewalks on

avenue, at a cost, respectively of $4,000
and $4,000, were referred to the Street
Committee.
Formal authority was given to the
Board of Works TO repair bituminous
pavements and to use the funds set
aside for the purpose by the adoption
of a resolution on the subject.
Another appropriation of $400 was
made to continue the sanitary work in

SOCIAL DISSIPATION.

young woman from a nearby town,
who was recently visiting friends In
Cleveland, was taken sick at the theater
1t became necessary to call a doctor from
the audience. and one promptly appeared
at the managers Office to render her as
sistance. After learning her symptoms.
he ordered her to take Red Raven. She
was sent home in her carriage. When the
excitement was all over the manager
said to the doctor, II would serve Red
Raven to every lady in my audience If I
thought it would keep them well" THAT
is not exactly the idea,' said the physi-
clan. This is a particular case. This
young woman has been suffering from
too much social dissipation. She has
been going somewhere every night for
the last two or three weeks, no doubt A
theater with refreshments afterward. a
party, late dinner and decidedly too
many luncheons. Her system has become
overtaxed. Had she occasionally taken a
Red Raven she would readily have stood
this strain. AS it was, she allowed her
self to break down. There is nothing
like Red Raven for people in her condi-
tion. But the trouble Is they do not all
know it"
