To Show Public How
Pure Food Is Made

NORFOLK, Va, July 11.-For the
first time in the history of expositions
there will be seen at the Jamestown
Tercentennial Exposition, to be held
on the shore of Hampton Roads, near
Norfolk, in 1907, a department provid-
ing for a display of methods used by
manufacturers of pure foods This will
be in the department of food products.
1t is the outgrowth of the recent dis
closures made in Congress and the
widespread doubt on the part of the
consuming public as to just what food
is pure. This innovation in exposition
work Is the most important of all the
many departures from usual exposition
methods and has already excited the
greatest interest in the public at large
and in the manufactures of foodstuffs.
The great food producers will be given
an opportunity to show their methods
in every detail, and the public will
have an opportunity to see for itself
just how much chance there is for i'm
purities or unsanitary methods to en-
ter into the production of the food it
eats.
The recent investigation of the large
food-producing houses has hurt the
business of other houses which were
conducted on a high standard of purity
and cleanliness, and 1t is for the pur-
pose of removing unjust suspicion from
food manufacturers who are entirely
reliable that this division of the de-
partment of food products was insti-
tuted.
The great consuming public will
there have an opportunity to confirm
opinions of products whose quality had
been doubted because of the condemna-
tion of other makers of the same food.
The idea of special division of the
department of food products has met
with the hearty approval of food pro-
ducers all over the country and the
public as well.
After the exposition the public and
the men who manufacture its food
will be able to separate with better
understanding as to the quality of
food made in this country.

East Beginning to
Take a Sane View

The work being done by the Califor-
MIA Promotion Committee through IT'S
publicity work in Eastern newspapers
and magazines is bearing good fruit
and having results that are extremely
beneficial to the future prosperity OF
San Francisco. Through about forty
prominent newspapers IN all the prin-
cipaI cities of the United States articles
are published twice a week giving
resumes of progress. while on the first
of each month a Bulletin OF Progress
is published by the committee and sent
all over the country. What is thought
of the work of the committee in the
East is shown by the following edi-
torial which appeared. under the cap
tion Courageous San Francisco" in
recent issue of the Boston Globe, one
of the most influential newspapers In
the East:
AT a meeting of representative
business men recently held in this
city the prediction was made by one
of the speakers that the California
Promotion Committee, which has done
so much to help develop the State.
would be one Of the first Of San Fran
ciscOs institutions to be heard from
after the city began to recuperate from
its great catastrophe
That the prophecy was well founded
appears from the announcement that
the committee mas just issued a month";
ly bulletin setting forth the business
outlook in the Golden State in Ian
guage that could scarcely be more op-
timistic had there never been an earth
quake and fire on the coast
1t is evident that the COMMITTEES
takes but little stock in the idea that
San Francisco's calamitN has given the
city and State a setback from which ie
will not recover in many years.
The report says that the present
commercial conditions IN California
are unprecedented in The history OF
recuperation from disaster and there
is a good demand for labor all over
the State. with good crops OF all kinds
assured, except apricots.
In San Francisco nearly 25. 900 skilled
laborers are employed in reconstruction
work. Even the bank clearings for
June have been only per cent less
than those of the corresponding month
last year.
such a spirit OF courage and hope
should appeal to every citizen OF tho
United States and make US all feel
that the general confidence in the peo-
pie of the stricken Western city has
not been misplaced

percentage of the happiness that went out with the
flames Every boy and girl feels with unexpressed
sorrow the wipng out OF playthings that were part
of their very lives.
People with children who were fortunate enough
to save their toys and people who have money
enough to buy ones for their children probably
have not given the matter consideration not be-
cause of sefshness, but because it had not been
called to their attention No doubt they will re-
spond literally the call of the refugee children.
as will the various charitable societies. The Po-
trero camp plea for the return of toyland to those
who suffered by its destruction is touching one.
Who is moved by it deserves the worst that the
insurance scalers can do to him.

TOMORROW AND IT'S TASKS.

Reviewing what has been accomplished in the re-
building of the city, real estate experts to the
conclusion that within three years the section east
OF Van Ness avenue, which is now rapidly building
up, will have joined the downtown section that
is beginning to build westward There have been
many delays in getting ready for the big class A
structures that to go up on the downtown
Streets but these delays becoming shorter as
business and the insurance situations adjust them
selves
Three years is not long time in which to build
a great city. The critics of New San Francisco
have dwelt upon the non-appearance of the sky
scraper without knowing why not practicable for
property owners to start work on large buildings
until every question of insurance adjustment and
new building laws has been settled to the salts
faction of their attorneys Philadelphia and Boston
newspapers, in reviewing the rebuilding, hold forth
every encouragement but do not to realize
the enormity of the loss here and to appreciate
the city's difficulty in obtaining on short notice
material for the reconstruction of the burned
district. No one who has not been on the ground
can fully understand the manifold troubles of San
Francisco in overcoming even the preliminary
difficulty of clearing away the debris and outlining
reconstruction on Stupendous scale.
The soil must be prepared before the seed is
planted and termination must precede the harvest
The temporary structure must follow as the after
math OF the clearing away OF the debris, and the
ireproof structure will rise above the temporary
shack just as business requirements show
that it is needed Millions of dollars ready for
investment in San Francisco. These millions cannot
be used all at once because of scarcity of labor and
because of conditions that naturally come after
great destruction of things essential to the main
tenance of a metropolis certain parts of the
burned district must wait development until other
sections are restored No lot or block of property
within the lines of the burned district will
represent decreasing valuation for any length of
time. In fact, real estate values have gone up in
some blocks of the burned district and are holding
their own in most of the others. When the city has
housed itself best it to meet the needs of
this day and hour then it can begin contract for
general improvements of permanent character.
The three-year estimate of time required to fill in
the burned district between Van Ness avenue and
Market street is fair one There will be all man
of buildings erected in the section, doubt
but along the lines of the principal streets there
are sure to be splendid edifces. The heart of the
city will be of steel and cement and its influence
for solidity will eventually be felt in every corner
OF the peninsula

EXAMPLE FOR INSURANCE COMPANIES

The German insurance companies doing business
in this city, because of pressure brought by En-
peror William himself it is said, have decided to
pay their losses. This announcement comes after
several of the German companies had disclaimed
responsibility, under the provisions of their poll
cies, for losses growing out of the San Francisco
disaster.
For two months it has been known that the Ger
man Emperor has had agents at work investigating
the affairs of the German companies and their ob-
cations in this city Now he has let it be known
throughout Germany that he wishes the German
companies to meet their obligations in order that
the good of German business methods may
be upheld. In conformity with the Emperor's
wishes, it is understood the German companies
will pay their losses without further quibblng
The stand taken by the German Emperor should
not be lost upon insurance companies other than
German which, because of ambiguously worded
policies of their own making, would dodge their
liabilities The German Emperor recognizes that
the German people cannot afford-even though
they might trick the burned-out people of San
Francisco out of few million dollars-to sacrifice
their reputation for square dealing. What is true
OF the people of Germany is true of the people of
all nations and equally true of firms, corporations
and individuals. In the world of business he who
can pay and will not is summed Those engaged
i'll underwriting no exception to the rule. In
surance companies and directors OF insurance COM
panies that think to save few thousands or even
millions at the expense Of the thousands of policy
holders in this city waiting upon the insurance
companies for adjustment of losses will find eheir
course as costly as it is dishonest. The rule
holds true of individual directors and stockhold-
of the companies themselves
Bryan states that the nation has changed since
1896. 1t does not appear to to Bryan that he
too, has been in motion.
Some OF the German insurance companies are re-
pudiating all of their losses. No insurance company
has right to lose, anyway.
There is skating rink that is to be named
"Dreamland." The name must have been suggested

Young Thaw refused to permit insanity to be
pleaded as his defense. Evidently he is determined
that no act of sanity shall be thrown in the way OF
his execution.

PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY.

Every property owner should be on guard against
the tricks of the property-grabbing sharks and
give careful attention the of the Legislature
which enables land owners to perfect title to their
holdings by bringing suit to quiet title. The pro-
cess of bringing suit may be slow and expensive
and it is necessary that, pending proceedings the
property owner be kept informed as to whether
a land-grabber has filed claim against his estate.
The Call has arranged to protect property own
ers from the sharks. When suit is filed against
property it will notify every person who fills in
the coupon printed elsewhere in this issue The
Call cannot undertake to defend suits or to pro-
vide counsel 1t undertakes, however to notify
Immediately the person whose name and address
are given on the coupon that his title is in ieop-
ardy because OF claims filed against his real estate
Record titles necessary to clear land of prior
claims and to protect the owner in case he de-

Without record title it will be impossible to secure
a loan property to sell it. Fill in The Calls
coupon and send it to this Office without delay and
you may be spared a vast amount of annoyance
and expense.
