MISSION ASSOCIATION ASKS
FOR BETTER WATER SUPPLY
Committee VIII Investigate the Num-
her of Cfsterns for District and
Ask for salt Water System

At a meeting Of the Mission P-o-
motion Association at Twenty fifth and
Guerrero streets Monday night COM
mitfee was appointed to find out how
many fire cisterns are to be established
3n the Mission, and il these will be suf-
fcient TO furnish water in case of fire.
This action was prompted by action
of the Supervisors in arranging to fur
nish a salt water supply for other dis
fricts.
The suggestion to the committee of
the Board Of Supervisors will be made
that q general reservoir be placed
there, and that a salt water system be
furnished to the Mission district. Mem
bers at the meeting resolved to pro-
test against the proposed Improvement
Of Isiais Creek on the ground that the
water in the creek is needed for fire
protection. =

PIANO BUYERS

The Keen Buyer Invariably Buys of
EILERS MUSIC co.

We'll. here we are back again, and
iow we are going to buy two pianos
rom you" was the remark yesterday
II a musical lady who. with her friend,
aad gone to every piano store in San
francisco and had finally come back
% the BIG Piano Store. In one form
br another this occurrence is repeated
svery day. Nothing pleases the Eilers
Piano Stores more than to have a
prospective buyer go to every piano
ltore in San Francisco before finally
ieciding upon a piano. We not only
Welcome but we urge comparisons be-
sause we realize only too well that the
person who buys from US. after a
thorough examination Of other pianos,
accepts his piano with a feeling of
fnthusiasm. We are often asked why
We encourage a customer to visit other
Aano stores. Our reply is that IL is
undoubtedly most convincing evidence
N the high character Of the pianos we
handle and our low prices. The most
tattering Endorsement of our methods

san Francisco who daily advise their
Aallers 10 go 10 any store but Eilers.
THE REASON WHY.
There is a reason for this, and good

because we do not handle excellent

January 2 was the date set yester-
day by Judge Graham for formal ex-
animation in the Superior Court to de-
termine the mental competency of Mrs.
Elizabeth Weis. for whom Mrs. Emily
Winter was appointed temporary
guardian on Monday. Mrs. Weis was
found wandering on the street several
days ago and taken to the Central
Emergency Hospital, where it was dis

ing about $4,000 to her credit in a
local bank. Several guardianship ap-
plications were made in her behalf and
Mrs. Winter was appointed by the
court, the money being left in the
custody of the Central Trust Company.
1t was declared yesterday by attorneys
for some of the other applicants for the
guardianship that Mrs. Weis' mental
competency had not been legally de-
termined, despite the fact that the In
sanity Commission had declared her to
be suffering from senility.

FOR THE SCHOOLS.

From the American Book Company
We have Mines Progressive Arithme-
tics. three books. The intent OF
these books is 10 present the study
with some freshness. yet at the Same
time to hold fast to tried and approved
methods. There is no doubt that a
pupil might learn some arithmetic from
these books. but they are subject TO
the same criticism as is made upon
other arithmetic books these times;
the presentation is long drawn out
and tedious, the pupil would be tired
out with vain iteration before he got
fairly into tho study. The trouble with
this sort of book Is that it tacitly as
sumes arithmetic to be such a
desperately hard study that the pupil will
find IL practically impossible TO master
II. So II is diluted till the mental
stomach revolts. and arithmetic Ia com
Ing TO be about ns much detested by
the pupil as grammar. The real demand
is not for sloppy dIlution, but for con-
ciseness and vigor; and II IS certain
that this series does not tend In that
direction.
