Yat Po, made before a meeting OF the
Chinatown property owners yesterday
afternoon. The remarks of the repre-
sentative of the San Francisco Chinese
were heartily indorsed by the property
owners, all of whom desire to have the
Chinese again for tenants.
Ng Poon Chew says that Portland
and Seattle have been bidding for the
Chinese of San Francisco.
The meeting was held at 1928 Pa
cific avenue. Alexander d. Keyes, at
torney for the Humboldt Bank, pre-
sided. Many Chinese merchants were
present Much time was given to dis
cussion of the plans of the committee
of forty. Max Goldberg, the former
Kearny- street broker, consumed much
time in showing the property owners
where they could make more money
,by leasing to Chinese than to whites.
The possibility of Dupont street be-
ing widened was discussed. and the
property owners present expressed
themselves as anxious for the change.
providing the work of widening was
done with. no more assessment upon
them than on property owners on other
streets outside of Chinatown. Many
present expressed themselves as ready
to erect buildings on their lots as soon
as they could get an assurance from
the city officials that the Chinese. to
whom they wished to rent the build
ings, were not to be removed. Thirty
signed a resolution to build temporary
structures at once, under the same
provision.
Ng Poon Chew, the Chinese editor,
was called upon to confirm the ac-
credited expression of the Chinese
populace that it would live In no part
of the city other than the old China
town district. He said: The senti-
ment which I express is expressed by
every Chinaman in San Francisco. All
are eagerly waiting the rebuilding of
Chinatown. when they will flock from
all parts of the State, to which they
have fed in this hour of trouble. Prop
erty owners from Portland and Seattle
have approached me in an attempt to
secure my co-operatio-- in getting the
Chinese to move north. The Chinese
do not want to leave San Francisco.
They do not want to live anywhere
but in old Chinatown. They believe
that they have aided in the upbuild-
ing of the San Francisco of the past
and will certainly assist in the great
work of reconstruction of San Fran
cisco of the future.
The Chinese were doing a business
of $50, 900, 900 year. Our pugnacious
spirit is aroused and we will fight
bitterly any attempt to abolish the old
Chinatown district"
The property owners will organize
an association for their own protec-
ton, and present through the organi-
zation their views and desires to the
committee on adornment of San Fran
cisco.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful II is in Pre-
serving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
dlsinfectant and purifier IN nature, but
few realize It's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose
Charcoal Is a remedy that the moro
sou take OF II the better; II Is not n
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
IN the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out Of the system.
Charcoal swcetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and I'M
proves the complexion, Il whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural
and emlnently safe cathartic.
II absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect IN the stomach and bowels: II
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison OF catarTh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
Is IN Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed % the finest powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics IN tablet form or rather
~ lnt luEll VI ihibNt IlthHdilA luNllIlE
Iozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use Of these lozengcs will
soon tell In much improved condi-
ton OF the general health, better COM
plexlon, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty OF IL Is, that
no possible harm can result from their
continued use, but, on the contrary,
great bcnent.
A Buffalo physician, In speaking Of
the benefits Of charcoal. says: u ad

patients suffering from gas In stomach
