sented that Ruef did assist Herrin ant
Parker in executing the programme
Whether Ruef had voice in the fran.
ing of the programme is quite another
thing.
In the councils of the organization

somewhat in the style Of boasting thai
the machine was strong enough to con

Governor Pardee's estimated strength

and Porter from the contest he released

Governor conceived II to be his duty to
protect friends who had made sacrifices
in his behalf.
HAYES FAR FROM LINE.
J. o. Hayes time and again assured
his friends that he was in the fight to
the finish and that If the fortunes OF
war should deprive him of victory, he
would fall on the firing line. Hayes
now says that the finish came sooner
than he expected and all the observers
knew that he was quite a distance
in the rear from the firing line when
Walter Parker opened fire with the
machine guns of the organization.

the punishment without a whimper. He
was sincerely and ardently the sup
porter Of Governor Pardee's admins
tration. Some weeks ago he said to
the Governor: You can knock off my
block If it will advance your cause.
I'm your friend and stand ready to
make any sacrifice in your behalf
HENDERSON is SHUT OUT.
Orrin Henderson's failure to secure
denomination for railroad commissioner,
third district, can be traced to the uglf-
ness of the political quarrel in San Joa-
quin. l noticed that the Alameda dele
cations that were for Pardee did not
vote for Henderson in the railroad dis
trict convention. The Contra Costa
delegation was also against Henderson.
Senator e. 1. Wolfe is on Ruefs slate
for railroad commissioners, in the San
Francisco district to succeed Adam An
drew. Ruef has in mind candidate
for the State Board of Equalization,
first district, but wants to be sure that
the candidate thought of will accept a
place on the ticket. Ruef was chairman
of the appellate district convention,
first district, and is also chairman of
the equalization district convention.
Ben Fehnemann is secretary of all
assisting Ruef at every point. Judge
=. M. Sweeney of Shasta was chair
man of the third equalization district
Ihe nominee, Richard E. Comins, was
extolled by Thomas B. Dozier as a
Republican who could beat Beamer. the
Democrat who has in many elections
downed the Republicans
Alex Brown of Calaveras was fortu-
nate enough to secure denomination in
the second district. without serious
contest In the southern appellate dis
trict, which embraces the counties of
Los Angeles, San Diego and Santa Bar
bara, Victor Shaw of San Diego and j.
w. Taggart OF Santa Barbara are
highly spoken of. although they are
not incumbents.
The story is going the rounds that
George Hatton is preparing to Omar
die Senator Perkins. The aspirant for
the United States Senate that Hatton is
reported to favor is Porter, the nomi-
nee for Lieutenant Governor. In the
convention today Porter intimated that
he would be a candidate for Governor
four years hence.

Sudden Change.

Two commercial travellers, one from
London and one from New York, were
discussing the weather in their re-
spective countries. The Englishman
said that English weather had one
great faults sudden changes.
"a person may take walk one
day" he said, "attired in a light
summer suit, and still feel quite
warm. Next day he needs an over
coat"
That's nothing" said the Ameri-
can. my two friends. Johnson and
Jones, were once having an argu-
ment. There were eight or nine
inches of snow on the ground The
argument got heated, and Johnson
picked up a SNOWFALL and threw 1t at
Jones from a distance of not more
than five yards During the transit
of that SNOWFALL, believe me or not,
as you like, the weather changed and
became hot and summerlfke, and

IN OCEAN DEPTHS.

Some Of the most beautiful sights
are found in the seattle coral reefs
and the sunken gardens, filed with
strange marine plants. Some marine
animals live only in the purest wa,
ter, others only in the foulest water
for every condition there Is life to
fit II.
In all ocean basins, hills and ridges,
as well as troughs and deep holes, oc-
cur, and the bottom is covered with
the skeletons of marine animals,
changed by time into slime and stone.
Some of the animals of the ocean
have no eyes, having no need Of them |;
others have hundred eyes
The largest animal and the tiniest
animal are found in the sea. In places
the sea is 10000 feet deep. Its aver
age depth is over 1900 feet. Twice
every "a hours the water rises and
falls. At the entrance to the Bay
of Fundy the rise at spring tide is no
Jess than 20 feet. The natural power
that controls the tide is a tremendous
one
And the plant life in the ocean is
almost as remarkable as the animal
life. Learned men have been study
ing it for centuries and are only be-
ginning to understand it. If you want
to be interested as no novel can in
terest you, procure a book telling in
4 simple manner of the life in the
seas. There are plenty of such books
written for the people rather than for
chemists

Curious Results When Coffee Drink
ing Is Abandoned
It is almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use of coffee as it is for
a whisky or tobacco fend TO break of,
except that the coffee user can quit cof-
fee and take up Postum Food Coffee
without any feeling of a loss of the
morning beverage, for when Postum Is
well boiled and served with cream, il
IS really better in point of favor than
most of the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste of the connoisseur il
is like the flavor Of fine Java
A great transformation takes place In
the body within ten days or two weeks
after coffee is left OF and Postum Food
Coffee used, for the reason that the poi
son to the nerves has been discontinued
and in its place is taken a liquid that
contains the most powerful elements Of
nourishment.

these statements by changing from cof-
fee to Postum Food Coffee.

THE FLOWER INDUSTRY.
Has Had Rapid Growth in the United
States in the Last Thirty
Years.

Our country is much behind Eng
land in orchard houses, wineries, pine
ries and 50 on. This is the case for
two reasons-frst, the extent of our
territory, and, second, advance in this
direction being unnecessary because Of
our rapid transit. But in the growing
OF roses, yiolets, carnations and GER
tain vegetables we are ahead of any
other country in the world.
This industry has made rapid strides
during the last 80 years, due to the in
crease in wealth and population and
the demand for greater variety OF
fruits and vegetables. AS the demand
increased specialized ton became neces-
sary, and horticulturists no longer ex-
list who grow various kinds of plants
in large quantities. They are divided
into three classes, the growing of cut
flowers, ornamental plants and vege-
tables.
Roses, carnations and violets have
seen the greatest advance in flower
culture. The annual sale in this coun-
try is from s6,000,b0O to $7,00O,OO
worth of cut roses, which represents
from 100,O0O,0O0 to 100000 flowers.
The industry has been most developed
in the neighSorhood of our largest
cities.
The carnation comes next in i'm
portance, and the most successful
greenhouses are in the vicinity of New
York and Chicago. There are annual
ly produced and sold in this country
from $4,000, 900 to s4,500,0 900 worth Of
carnations, or from LOG, 0O0. 900 to 49,
600 blooms.
Before this impetus to flower cul-
ture came violets were raised almost
entirely under outdoor frames of
cheap construction, but as the demand
increased these became impracticable
and were supRlanted by cheap green
houses. There are about 100000 square
feet of glass devoted to the culture OF
this flower in the vicinity OF Pough-
keepsie and Rbinebeck alone
The value of the crop of vegetables
is much less than that OF flowers, but
still there are 100000 square feet of
glass devoted t. this industry. Under
favorable conditions this will bring
to the owner al average Of so cents
per square foot.

and she is often the bread-winner of
the family Whether she is sick or
well, whether il rains or shines, she
must get to her place of employment,
perform the duties exacted of her
smile and be agreeable.
Among this class the symptoms of
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the
lower limbs and lower part of the
stomach. In consequence of frequent
wetting of the feet, periods become
painful and irregular, and frequently
there are faint and dizzy spells, with
loss of appetite, until life is a burden.
All these symptoms point to a de-
rangement of the female organism
which can be easily and promptly
cured by Lydia z. Pinkham's Vegeta-
bic Compound.
Miss Abby T. Barrows, Jacksonville,
Athens Co.. Ohio. tells what this great
medicine did for her. She writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham
Il feel it my duty TO tell you the good
lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and Blood Purifier have done for me. Before
/ took them was very nervous, had duh
headaches, pains in back, and periods were
irregular, had been to several doctors, and
they did me no good.
Your medicine has made me well and
strong. i can do most any kind Of work
without complaint, and my periods are all
right.
Il am in better health than I ever was,
and know it is all due TO your remedies. l
recommend your advice and medicine to all
who suffer"
1t is to such girls that Mrs. Pink
ham holds out helping hand and ex-
tends a cordial invitation to correspond
with her. She is daughter-in-law of
lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty five
years has been advising sick women
free of charge. Her long record of
success in treating woman's ills makes
her letters of advice of untold value to
every ailing working girl. Address,
