Buy Goods at Home.

Why will the supposedly intelligent
American citizen be longer deluded by
the famboyant announcements made by
the unscrupulous and conscienceless
dealer in everything that is manufact-
ured? Is it because the voluminous
catalogue shows pictures of the coveted
article, and describes it in irres stible
phraseology, making mountain out of
mole hill; or is it because they have
more confidence in stranger to keep
his promises than in one whom they
have known for years to be an honest,
upright citizen, one to be depended upon
to stand by his business pledges; or
what is it?
Were you to start today to solicit sub
scriptions for the repairing of your
church, to finance a new industry which
would materially help not only the town
in which it was to be established but
all the surrounding towns, or to build
an electric railroad designed to open a
country hitherto almost inaccessible to
profitable commerce, would you 60 to
these foreign grafters who have abso-
lutely no interest in you or your town
besides the hard cash you send them for
inferior goodsY Hardly. You would go
first of all to the merchants, whom you
would expect to respond literally, aud
they would.
You sell these same merchants your
produce, the very things upon which
your living depends, but instead of Civ
ing back part of 1t, you take their money
and send it thousand miles away to
fill the Golfers of an already wealthy but
Unsuitable corporation.
How do you expect your own section
OF the country to thrive and keep
abreast Of the times il steady stream
of the money which is its very business
life blood is pouring out of the stateS
Why not think this matter over calm
ly, deal fairly with yourself and your
neighbors. and see il you are not doing
an iniustics to both your home mer-
chants and yourself by continuing this
practice OF self robbery?

VIII Ask Police Commission to Sell
Central Police Station and Buy
Another Site for New
Building

Chief Ed Kern of the Los Angeles DO
lice department, has come out positive
ly for a new police station house, Re-
ceiving hospital and city Jail. After
four days passed within the walls of
the old building on First street, Chief
Kern has expressed himself as in
favor of a new building as soon as one
can be arranged for, and has prom
ised to take the matter UP with the
mayor and police commission without
loss of time His idea is to have the
old building sold to the highest bid
der and a new site purchased on Los
Angeles and First streets, or some
place in the neighborhood from which
the greatest number of calls for the
wagon come.
During the last five years the MEM
bers of the department have been
crowded for room in the old building,
and although it has been remodeled
a number of times, it is till inade-
quate for the needs of the department.
The detectives are compelled to use
quarters much too small for them and
the physicians at the hospital are
also greatly hampered by lack of
room.
The building was erected twelve
years ago. At that time Paul Flam-
mer, now captain of detectives, was
the jailer, and John Glass was chief
of police. When the building was
completed and moved into 1t was
found to be arranged for almost any
other kind of place than a police
station. Great wide staircases led
through the halls and to the court
rooms, and in fact, space was wasted
everywhere.
Within year the building was re-
modelled in several ways and since
that time the city has expended al
most as much as the building cost or
iginally in making changes in it.
1t is estimated the building could
be sold for almost as much as a new
site could be purchased for and suit
able building erected.

REFUSES TO ENJoIN CITY
Court Holds That Pasadena May Build
and Operate Municipal Light
plant

BY a decision handed down yester-
day by Judge James Of department
seven of the superior court, the petit
tion of the Edison Electric company
for permanent injunction to restrain
the city of Pasadena from erecting a
municipal electric lighting plant was
denied and the work on the building
and plant will be taken up immedi-
ately.
Last June the city voted for mu-
nicipal electric lighting plant to do
away with the inadequate lighting of
streets and public buildings and to cut
the expense per month from $500 to
$500. The money was subscribed and
as the contracts were about to be
made the electric company filed petit
tlon for injunction to hold up the pro-
posed system on the ground that It
would ruin their franchise.
In the decision the court ruled that
the light 10 be manufactured by the
city plant WAS for streets and public
buildings only and not for private
homes.

An evidence of what government
"red tape" can do, or, rather, what it
can do in the way of not doing things,
was found this week in the department
of the interior when an Indian claim
filed in 1869 finally came up for consid-
Grafton. After thirty-seven years of re-
pose in the pigeonholes of officialdom
this claim of Joseph Sealey, a Chicka-
saw Indian, is to be investigated.
Sealey long ago was gathered to the
happy hunting grounds of his fathers,
so that his interest In the outcome Of
his case is not a very live one, but the
case is one of 1913 similar claims, involv-
ing sum in excess of $750,000. The
claims are for reimbursement for losses
sustained to property in the Indian ter
ritory through depredations Of the
Kiowa and Comanche tribes when these
redskins took the warpath.I Sealey was
a friendly Indian, as were the 1913 9TH

standing before the government.

Constipation unchecked brings in

and piles too often superinduce tumors
of malignant nature.
1t is utmost folly to allow this condi-
ton to continue. If you have piles the
veins of the rectum are congested, and
the excessive straining of the abdomi-
nal walls to force passage in many
cases leads to rupture and cracking of
the tissues.

The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-

The stage and rostrum, recognizing ca
tarrh as their greatest enemy, are es-

ANY man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca

omnipresent. Peruna is the best safe

A cold is the beginning of catarrh.
Peruna not only relieves catarrh, but
prevents 1t.
Every household should be supplied
with this great remedy for coughs,

Has GIobe-Trotting Record


Nineteen times around the world and

This is the record of Capt. R. ".
Webster of Ceylon, who is at the Alex
andria.
Captain" is no mere empty title in
this case, for Capt. Webster won it
through hard service with Lord Kitch-
ener in the Soudan and Lord Miner in
South Africa.
The captain is something of an
authority on war; but his knowledge Of
that is as nothing compared to his
knowledge of tea and rubber. He is a
millionaire grower Of both of these
products and has studied the conditions
relative to their cultivation in almost
every part of the globe where they are
grown.
Capt. Webster says that Americans
are acquiring more Of a liking for the
amber beverage all the time, and each
year the amount sent from Ceylon to
America is larger than the previous
year.
He gives cheap labor as one Of the
best reasons why tea growing is so
profitable in Ceylon.
"Tea is picked chiefly by the women
and children, and they receive 8 cents
O. day for their labor" said he. "When
compared with the sum that the Amer
ican laborer receives this seems very
small, but the native of Ceylon lives
comfortably on it.
"The annual export Of tea from Cey-
lon is 164,000,000 pounds and the in
dustry is growing all the time"
Wrecks on the Brain
Even if you don't have leg broken
or are killed there are drawbacks to
being in train wrecks, thinks George
G. Peterson, a New York man who is

Mr.. Peterson was in two wrecks in

lust about enough. He thinks of wrecks
in the daytime and dreams of them at
night He has one eye out for them
all the time and SHES at the least
sound, like colt in city for the first
time.
A lot of bruises and $500 are in his
possession as the aftermath of one
smashup in the Rio Grande, in Utah,
and another set of bruises, minus the
financial remuneration, remains with
him as reminder of a wreck on the
Santa Fe in Colorado.
