Seattle Post Office OYerwOrked

The Seattle post office is continually clogged up with mail and clerks work nearly all the time. First-class mail is often held up one or two days because it cannot be sorted sooner, and paper mail is held up indefinitely. The post master has been shouting for more help for years and the department regularly supplies it about two years behind. It seems that the department cannot be made tounderstandt that Seattle handles as much mail as any other city of twice it's size in the United States because of the Alaska business.

COOKING at the gorgeous and aris-
tocratic buildings and quarters

T COOKING at the gorgeous and aris-
tocratic buildings and quarters
of the Los Angeles clubs of today
one may be pardoned for a research
into the genesis of all this splendor.
The first distinctive club of the
Angelic City was known as the Canvas
back club. It's quarters were at
French Louis single story building,
which stood opposite the Pico house.
about where the mammoth warehouse
of f. w. Braun & Co. now stands This
building was occupied bv the eccentric
Frenchman as a restaurant.
Its members comprised all the good
fellows then in town. such as Billy
Rowland, Col. Albert J. johnson, Gen.
John NJ Baldwin, Tom Mott Tom
Rowan and quite a number of others.
They were wont to meet once a month
and dispensed with the ordinary club
conveniences and appointments. If
there were any club dues they were
doubtless very irregularly collected,
but the dinner was fixed function.
AT that time the duck season was not
closed but practically ran from Novem-
Der to March, inclusive, and, We gods
could then be bought in our market for
50 a dozen! 1t was an i'll day for
Southern California and for the govern
ment when some malign wretch intro
duced the German carp, the piscatorial
hog, into our waters. This racious
fish meandered through all the creeks
and sloughs herea bout and ate up all
the wild celery and marine growths

upon which the CanvasbaCk delighted
to feed, and thus the number of canvas
backs which visit our waters has
enormously decreased of late years
The carp is an inadmissible edible fish
and its mission in California has been
one of dire destruction.
Will Tells Place
Another early resort with almost the
continuity of a club was Will Tells
resort down at Ballona lake. The
the clientele of the Canvasback club
used to go down there. On the lake
itself Col r. S. Baker for years main
tanned the Polly Wog, pleasure boat
on which he always kept a chef of
great capabilities. The guests of Col.
Baker and the patrons of Will Tell
enjoyed the rarest dainties of the ocean
as well as ducks of high degree on
water and on land where the Playa del
Rey invites the attention of the tourist.
Many a delightful culinary flavor is
associated with the "reminiscences of
that region.
The first club house complete in its
appointments, though on a small scale,
ever erected in Los Angeles county,
was built by Charlie Johnson, In 1876
at Santa Monica. That was at the com
mencement of the Jones boom, when
the Nevada senator was building his
Los Angeles & Independence railway.
The Los Angeles and Santa Monica
branch of that road had no sooner
been completed than Johnson put UP
his clnb house. 1t is In Santa Monica
now, .on Second street, not far from
the Southern Pacific tracks. 1t has

sician. Diet and skilled care are de-
pended on very largely in the treat
ment of the sick nowadays. Cooking
is by no means the least important of
the nurses studies and down in the
basement of the Post Graduate school
there is "dietetic kitchen" in which
everything from pure beef juice to
complicated desserts is prepared under
the supervision of a graduate of the
Boston Cooking school. Here the nurses
not only learn to make the jellieS and
broths ordered by physicians for their
patients, but also frequently prepare a
good part of the "house staff's" din
ner. Patients are never made subjects
for cooking experiments
Practically all the work of caring for
the hospital patients is done by the
pupil nurses, there being only five po-
sitions for graduates In the institution,
in addition to the superintendent and
her assistant. One of these graduates
is in charge of the operating room,
one of the private floor" one of the
orthopedic ward and two of the babies
wards, which are almost a separate
hospital in themselves. Under them
the students work in rotation, each
serving before graduation in all the
departments, assisting the surgeons in

Surprisingly few girls who pass
through the ordeal of the probationary
and preliminary periods are found I'M
equal to the tasks they have set them
selves. But the nurses self-control Is
ii very different thing from callous-
ness. On the contrary, in the opinion
of those who have had long experience,
the training nurse receives does
much to give her sympathy with suf-
fering as well as knowledge of how to

the keener perhaps because II so we'll
understands the pain and weakness
that arouse 1t. No girl with a disposi-
tion to harshness lasts very long in
the nurses school; the slightest sign
of any inclination to treat patients
carelessly or unfeelngly is never toll
