May Expect Showers

With such ghastly creatures hanging
about, IL hurricane would seem to be
the least that could be expected.
Thus doth the reader of the heavens
tell of the approaching storm: Un-
settled weather, possibly with showers
Sunday, may be expected. The temper
ature is slowly moderating and the Sc =
we're frosts which have been troubling
the agriculturists for the last two
weeks need 10 longer be feared.
The pressure is gradually falling west
OF the Rocky mountains and the cold
weather is slowly moderating in Cali
1ornia and the southwest, with consid-
erable cloudiness.
The weather is unsettled in the vi
Cinity of Los Angeles, and the appear
ance of clouds of cirrus formation with
halos seems to Indicate IL disturbance
south of Point Conception. Locally,
conditions are favorable for unsettled
weather, possibly with showers today
and a more moderate temperature
Rain is reported from Washington and

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sWeetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels. II
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal i'm one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money IS i'm
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges: they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal. and other harmless anti
septics in tablet form or rather i'm the

DIRECTED EFFORTS
Dr., p. n. D. saller Tells Audience
That Telephone Calls, Notes
and the Like Are Not
Effective

Tho third day Of the Missionary In
stitute was successfully closed ycster-
day. Dr. J. +. Guucher opened the
morning session with II devotional SER
vice, which was followed by confer
ence on Giving" led by G. V. Vick-
rey. Or. y. W. Cronkhitc and DR..
George Smyth also spoke.
Mission study in Los Angeles was
the opening subject Of the afternoon
session. Dr y. II. u. Sailer made an
address ON the topic. He said:
Mission work, to be successful must
have an executive head and local com
mittees Of teachers should be formed
TO be placed in contact with the
churches. DO not overload the willing
mission workers. but relieve them by
others who are not overworked. This
work must be done by personal contact.
Telephones, notes and the like do not
do the work.
II believe in long terms of officers,
which are often objected to, but expe-
r'ence is what Is needed for successful
mission study work. I have more hope
for a teacher who thinks he does not
know it ALL than ono who goes to the
extremes--a person who is willing to
learn and put his knowledge obtained
into good use in this work.
You may get a class OF 500 here. but
IF You do not do it well you can never
get it again When you get a good
leader he sure to keep him. AS in busi-
ness it is foolish to keep changing.
Each church should have mission lead
ers to take up the foreign mission
studies"
Dr. j. r. Goucher led the service for
half an hour, at which the delegates
expressed the benefits the service had
been to them. r.. u. Soper followed,
speaking on the topic Of missions and
Prayer" which called forth comment
on books of prayer and the benefits
derived from them. II. W. Hicks led
the closing session in the division Of
the delegates into their separate de-
nominational classes to discuss the best
methods of promoting the mission work.
Harry Wade Hicks and G. V. Wick
rev spoke at the session last evening.
The formal closing of the institute
will be this afternoon at o'clock. when
several of the mission workers will
make addresses.

ANSWER TO QUESTION CAUSES

Dummies Carried Down Ladders Get

Big men, little men, fat men and
skinny men. all clad in shirt sleeves,
trousers and other necessary garments
and all daShing madly around the halls
of the Grand avenue public school,
carrying dummy figures down ladders
and vaulting over buck-horses was
the novel sort of entertainment offered
yesterday afternoon when sixteen men
were put through a civil service exam
nation in order to determine whether
they are fit to serve on the Los Angeles
fire department.
And the examination vas certainly
a novel one, and one of The candidates
proved to be the find of the day.
The men had been lined up before
one of the examiners and various ques-
tions of n practical nature We're being
put to them. Down the line went the
questions and the men answered rapid
ly until one volunteer was reached
"Supposing that you were n member
Of the Los Angeles fire department
and that you We're called to a big fire, -
queried the examiner. "Now you're at
the fire; the flames are leaping up
around the doomed building and, al
though the fire laddies are doing their
best, the destruction of the building is
certain. Suddenly there comes a cry
from the inside and you know that
some man or woman is being burned
alive. Now, under those circumstances,
what would be your first action?"

Inquisitor Faints From Horror
When by the use of ammonia and
other restoratives the examiner once
again beheld the blessed light of day,
the candidate was looking on in mild
amazement. Other questions We're
asked, but the board of examiners did
not question further regarding the
helpless man and woman proposition.

Sorrow at School Headquarters

Sorrowful clerks worked at the
board of education yesterday and
many regretful remarks were heard
regarding the election of Prof. Foshay
to the office, which necessitates his
leaving the superintendency of the city
schools. which position he has accept
ably filled the past ten years. While
it is generally considered to be of bene-
fit for Prof. Foshay, the board of edu-
cation is loath to part with him.
1t is known that Prof. Foshay has
closely applied himself to the work
of the schools and that his health has
not been the best for many months
His doctors have repeatedly told him
that unless he gave up the constant
work of the schools his health would
become permanently affected. The Fra
ternal Brotherhood work will make an
entire change and will necessitate con-
siderable travel in visiting the vari-
Gus lodges. which Will be beneficial to
Prof. Foshay's health.
By many of the order it is consid-
cred that the election of Prof. Foshay
to the office of supreme president will
assist the order to regain it's former
position and that his we'll known integ-
rity will give a feeling of security to

Or. G. w. Pierce, who was elected
