Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat.

SOCTETY'S NOTEBOOK
BY THE CHATTERER

Resolved, That Fashion Is the Pin.
nacle of Human Happiness" This
most weighty of subjects furnished food
for a whole evenings discussion a
couple of nights ago and in spite of the
fact that a committee of worthy judges
decided the question in the affirmative
there are doubtless some who are pom
dering over It yet The gathering was
composed Of residents of Garvanza,
and was one of many similar affairs
which have been much enjoyed in that
neighborhood at intervals during the
year. S. w. Green and G. M. Jay, were
firm in the belief that fashion is the
pinnacle Of human happiness, and Prof.
w. L. Judson and Major j. A. Donnell
were just as ready to offer some other
substitutes The committee of five
young women, including Mrs. Wheat,
Misses Gilbert, Guiberson, Haskins and
Hansen, upheld the decision of the first
named gentlemen and thus the subject
has been forever settled.

A REMINDER FOR LOS ANGELES

What would the people Of Los Angeles think Of a
proposition for the city to borrow sOOOOOO wherewth
to expand and improve its system? That
relative proposition the people of Redlands deciding
today The population of Redlands is about 10000
twentieth that Of Los Angeles bond election is in
progress today in Redlands to determine whether that
progressive little city shall expend 100000 com
prehensive system Of street and road betterment
Los Angeles has neither the need nor the power to
go the relative length that Redands is going in the
matter of highway improvements. The sum of $4OOOOOO
would reach far beyond legal bond-borrowng limit
And then much need such improvements there is
no call for so vast expenditure
But the example of Redands in the matter should not
be lost upon Los Angeles It is fact, which cannot
be got around that this city is woefuy in the
rear Of progressive American cities in the matter of
street and road improvements. We have few streets
that are well paved for comparatively short distances
from three four fine roadways in of construc
ton. Los Angeles ought to have at least few of such
splendid modern bouevards extending mile after mile,
in the leading eastern cities and which
common in the minor cities of Europe.
No people have better than those of Los An
gees know that street Improvements are largely the
making of a CITY, For every dollar expended in such
in the enhanced value of property.
Los Angeles should stop chasing chimeras and buckle
down to the proposition of giving the
city drives worthy of its proud position in
other respects.

JAPANS POUND OF FLESH"

What will be the japanese price of peace? Upon
that point probably the momenous question
whether the shall continue No intimaton has
come from the Japanese government bearing that
question There have been various conjectures and
assumptions but nothing really Indicative of Japan's
purpose
That part of the price which relates to cash indem-
nifty appears be the troublesome feature Both
the pride the poverty of the Russian government
stand against a demand that would be both financially
srievous and humiating
The only experience of this kind that Japan has
had derived from the settlement of the war issue
with China ten years 1t was comparatively short
and inexpensive account that adjusted then.
According to the terms of the treaty China ceded to
Japan the island Formosa the Pescadores islands and
the southern portion of the province of Fengen The
cash indemnity equivalent to $150,000,000.
The highest demand that Japan is thought likely to
make against Russia is cash indemnity of $1000000
OOO together with the cession of saghaen island the
and of Russia exclusively to its Siberian
possessions
Peace terms in the conclusion of other modern wars
interesting in this connection The largest cash in
demnty in the history of modern warfare was that
which Germany exacted from France at the conclusion
of peace in 1871 The $1OOO,OOO.O 1000 The
sion of Alsace and Lorraine also consideration.
And the FrancoGerman war lasted only twentyeight
weeks but little than onethrd the duration of the
Rusian-Japanese thus far.
The most voracious indemnity of modern times
that which the United States exaced from Mexico
the vast territory comprising California and
New Mexico AS sort of salve for the carving wound
Mexico got a paltry $15000O00. AS a result of the
with Spain the United States got the Philippine
archipelago and Porto Rico giving Spain in return a

WISDOM

Men called him stupid, dull-yet he
And won the maid, where all of them
had failed.
But was he witless? Read and you
shall know
Why she, at least, refused to think
him So
One day he said: 81 would not seem
unkind;
But, do you know your hair looks
queer behind"
She tucked the wild strands underneath
her hat,
And thought: Wise man, to know as
much as that"
She wore a gown-a late and modish
thing,
And he at once it's praises sought to
The Yoke, s"s the sleeve-he mentioned
every point,
Commenting sanely on each tuck and
joint.
The other women he would criticise,
And view them through her searching,
biased eyes;
In argument he secuted reasons laws:
He claimed that this or that Is true.
"because!
He won his suit while at the matinee;
The idol, handsome, debonair and gay,
stood forth a hero! He refused to jeer,
But softly murmured: Heavens, what

In Kansas

CA Kansas farmer offers as an in
ducement to college-boy farmhands
three kisses and a hug from his pretty
aughter-Emporia, Kas., Gazette.)
No wonder college men go fast to Kan
sas' harvest field
To gather In the crops until their faces
all are peeled;
The father hath daughter, and upon
each college mug
The daughter plants three kisses, and
she gives each man a hug!
Who wouldn't alma mater leave, the
harvest fields to seek.
When he could get three rousing
smacks upon his sun-scorched
cheek?
Who wouldn't garner in the grain for
found" and two per day,
When he was certain of hug with
every ton of hay?
o Kansas farmer, slick and wise, you
know a trick or two,
And eke your daughter beautiful has
learned a very few;
For many's the college lad who'll get

And gladly go through h for those

FIGHTING THE PUBLIC VEAL

Here is the logical view of the presented in the
mayors attack upon the electric transit management
All of the 100000 inhabitants of Angeles are inter-
ested, directly and indirectly. in having the products
they consume healthful possible The nuritve
and healthgvng value of all vegetables fruits berries
garden products every kind depends largely upon
the condition in which those products are marketed
The truth of that proposition is obvious
There can be no question that the fresh vegetable
produce in Los Angeles is delivered at the
markets by the electric freight in much better
condition than is possible by the country wagons

such produce with the least possible injury to the

portation.
The produce freight clean, comfortably cool
and they run smoothly and rapidly. They deliver the
pershabe products of the gardens orchards
markets in practically the condition they are
shipped from the farms. And that great deal to
the health of this city.
With these sefevident facts in mind it seems absurd
that the old wagon system of marketing produce for this
city should be forcibly reintroduced If the law shall
declare that Los Angeles may receive it's produce by
the newer and better method then be it, we can
change the law But pending the legal decision that
point it utterly unreasonable for the mayor

There can no excuse for treating the railway man.
