BUYING HOSE IS
WE|GHTYPROBLEM
SUPPLY COMMITTEE INSPECTS
VARIOUS BRANDS
0PENWORK STYLES BARRED
Many Varieties Are Offered and Pur-
chases Are Made Finally for
Fire and Street Depart

Hose, linen and otherwise, plain and
striped. rubber lined and embroidered,
for the use of the fire department was
discussed by the supply committee of
the council yesterday morning.
Chairman Houghton took little in
terest in the proceedings and spent
his time deploring the fact that 10
Vassar brand or openwork varieties
were displayed and declared that all
shown was of ankle size its entire
length.
At all stages the openwork styles
were barred.
The question was serious one, how
ever, for it consisted of the recon-
mendation to the council as to who
should receive the contract for fur
nishing the fire department with 5000
feet of hose. This recommendation
virtually means the awarding of the
contract.
For some time the committeeman
wrestled with Victor, monitor, rein
forced jacketed versus double jacketed
the red line brand and others, finally
deciding upon the first named brand
over fourteen others submitted and will
Los Angeles herald., 1905-04-16

on Monday recommend that the con-
tract be given to the Bowers Rubber
company of San Francisco, which bid
rs cents a foot for 5000 feet.
The fact that it was home product
had great deal of influence with the
committee in favor of the Victor brand
and in addition to this Chief Lips
recommended the hose in question, say
ing that it was the brand used at
present by the department and had
always given satisfaction.
That the fight is not over is indi-
Gated by the fact that C. A. Bennett,
representing the Fairbanks-Morse
company, which bid 1871 cents for hose
which he says is better than the Victor.
has declared his intention Of carrying
the fight into the council on Monday.
No guarantee was demanded of the
successful bidder, but Fairbanks
Morse offer a guarantee of four years
to back up their bid.

catarrh Is the greatest enemy of the
human family, and especially that por-
tion of the family who must earn their
livelihood by honest toll.
For this reason Peruna comes to the
laboring man as a priceless remedy.
1t not only becomes his household
remedy for that multitude of family
ailments dependent upon the vicissi-
tudes Of climate, but 1t becomes his
own remedy whenever catarrh in any
form begins to manifest itself.

PREACHERS PEANUTS
DIET AT COURT HOUSE
Rev. G. w. Savory Sells His Wares to
Superior Judges Each
Saturday

saturday
Many of the superior court judges
and other county officials look upon
Saturday as the banner day of the
week, for on that day they avail them
selves Of the opportunity to diet on
peanuts.
Just think of it! Many of the official
decisions handed down from the supe-
rior bench Of this county receive their
inspiration from the dainty nut.
Rev. G. w. Savory, who formerly fed
mems souls from the pulpit. is now
engaged in feeding mems bodies on a
particular brand OF peanuts called the
Preachers Perfect Peanuts"
He visits the court house regularly
next few days the superior jurists are
so enchanted that they spend their odd
moments in knocking slivers off the
judicial bench.
The clerks employed in the various
offices also come In on the inspiration
afforded by the peanuts. and when not
otherwise engaged they exercise the
muscles Of their arms by hurting the
great register about the corridors of
the court house.
Even the members of the "bucket
brigade" under the command of the
janitor of the building, indulge in
munching peanuts. as a result Of which
the stone floors OF the building are
mopped from three TO six times daily;
that is TO say, when the deputy janitors
are under the spell superinduced by
The nutritious product Of the soil.

The drought and the strike, the cold
wave and the epidemic all affect the
laborine man more readily than any
other class of people.
Good health is an absolute necessity
with these people. Invalidism is not
compatible with success.
There is no one thing so disastrous to
the laboring man as catarrh in some
phase or form.

The reHcrted sinking of the battle

The belief in the naval circles in

Admiral Rojestvenskys fleet. The
japanese have a large number of tor

that it was unlikely that such serious

been inflicted by ordinary fire.
