CITY PAYS 0ME-HALF;
LAUNDRIES THE OTHER
Additional Underground Outlet to Be
Built from Seventh Switchboard
Of Works Furnishes Needed Funds
Through Council

The board of public works has had
considerable complaint as to the con-
dition of the sewer on Los Angeles
street, south of Seventh.
Three laundries on this street, be-
tween Seventh and Eleventh streets,
discharge large quantities of water
into this sewer and the sewer is not
large enough to carry off the volume,
and it frequently overruns and floods
the easements along the line of this
portion of the city.
The city engineer has recommended
certain measures for the relief of this
sewer
The board has adopted one recon-
mendation of the city engineer, which
is to build an additional sewer on Los
Angeles street, from Seventh street to
a point 215 feet southerly. This will
cost $425. The three laundres have
agreed to pay one-half the cost of this
sewer, provided the city will have the
same constructed.
The board has recommended to the
council that resolution of authoriza-
tion for the expenditure of $425 for
this purpose be adopted, and this car
ried.
When the sewer is constructed the
board will collect one-half the cost of
same from the three laundries interest
ed and return this amount to the city
treasury.

Catarrh Of the Stomach
A Pleasant, Simple. but Safe and
EffectuaI Cure for II
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or
boating sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
risings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing, headaches, tickle ap-
petite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeling
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth. coated tongue, and If the in
terror of the stomach could be seen II
would show a Shiny, inflamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble Is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before 1t has time
TO ferment and irritate the delicate
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catharral condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson, the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal tablet composed of Dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin, little Nux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dys-
pepSia Tablets and not being q patent

safety and assurance that healthy ap-
petite and thorough digestion will fol-
low their regular use after meals.
Mr. r. s. Workman, Chicago, Ill,
writes: ''Catarrh is a local condition
resulting from a neglected cold in the
head, whereby the lining membrane OF
the nose becomes infiamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom pass
ing backward into the throat, reaches
the stomach, thus producing catarrh OF
the stomach. Medical authorities pre-
scribed for me for three years for ca
tarrh OF stomach without cure. but to-

JUNE MccREE, the "Dope Tlend"

YUNIE McCREE, the dope Flend"
Of the Orpheum program, belongs
- to the west. He proclaims himself
a product of the Pacific coast, and the
reception which greeted his appearance
in San Francisco and in this city indi-
Gates that the coast is pleased with his
work. AS the dope Fiend'' Mr.. McCree
has toured the east with notable sue
cess. He graduated into this act from
the opium tainted atmosphere Of San
Francisco and Tacoma music halls, but
strangely enough claims that he never
saw a pipe smoked until he reached
New York. He may never have wit
messed the operation, but the results
were familiar, as the numerous stories
told by him witness
In reply to direct question concern
ing the prototype of his sketch, Mr..
McCree said recently that the man he
tries to impersonate was known in Ta-
coma years ago as Divvy Brag, a slang
singer who lived around the gambling
houses in that town until he went out'
in dream" Brag was different from
other hop heads" in many particu-
lars, but as an inventor of slang
phrases he was in a class by himself.
A typical "smoke man" is pictured in
the story which McCree tells of young
San Franciscan who awoke one morning
from laundry dream with a bad head
ache and worse nerves. He resolved to
quit the pipe and-all the rest.
But he was fiat broke" says Nc
Cree. so he wrote home: Dear
Mother-I have been a fool, but 1 am
going to drop the dope and clean up.
No more Chinese pipe for me If you will
send me money to come home Fifty
will do
HE strolls down the street, meets a
friend and borrows 2-cent stamp for
his letter. The crony invites him to
come up to the place
Nothing doing says Joe. I've quit.
Jaw, come ahead and club off a
few urges the friend.
"T tell you, I've quit
well, then, come up to the place with
me for a few minutes while burn a
pill
Finally he goes along, and it's the
old story. First he takes just one pill
| to steady his nerves, then another and
another, and another, all for his nerves
The glim comes back to his eyes, his
tongue flows with eloquence His brain
throbs with great ideas. To his friend
he says in manner most magnificent:
LET me have two bits for few min
utes. I left my check book at the
! bank
Taking the coin, he goes to the tele.

The message reads:

He Was Always a Judge.

A southern lawyer tells Of a judge
of county court who had many duties
besides his legal ones to perform, but
who never for an instant forgot that he
"embodied the law" under all circuln-
stances. On one occasion this judge
was acting as an auctioneer to dispose
of the stock of retailer who had died
a short time before.
While the action was in progress a
certain bidder was the cause of dis
turbance that finally so exasperated
the auctioneer that he suddenly as
sumed his character of judge and fined
the offender in the sum of s25 for con-
tempt of court.
OF course, an application for the re-
mission Of the fine was Immediately
filed by an attorney, on the ground
that there had been no contempt OF
court. The attorney maintained that
the judge when acting as auctioneer
was not a court, and was not, there
fora liable to contempt. The judge.
who heard this application with in
creasing wrath, assumed every bit Se
dignity he possessed, and, glaring
