You know them; they are
numerous, and make their
presence felt everywhere. The
names of the family are Head
ache, Toothache, 'Earache,
Backache, Stomach ache, Neu-

that warn you of any derange-
ment OF your system. When
the brain nerves become ex-
hausted or irritated, Headache
makes you miserable; if the
stomach nerves are weak, in
digestion results, and you
double up with pain, and if the
more prominent nerves are af-
fected, Neuralgia simply makes
life uncomfortable. The way to
stop pain is to soothe and

HOW San FRANCISCO IS
COMING OUT OF ASHES
weeks have passed.

weeks have passed.
Forty Five hundred wooden
structures have been erected to ac-
commodate the retail and whole
sale business of the city. The
people who lost their homes have
doubled up with those who did not.
The license to erect temporary
wooden buildings has been revoked
and the herculean undertaking of
building a new city has been look
ed squarely in the face.
San Francisco's loss Is now esti-
mated at about $500 600 600. The
insurance was $20S, 600 600. The
amount of insurance which has
been pal up to date is $3.50 10000
So there is a permanent net loss
of $3.50, 100000, 600 which must be
replaced by new effort.
That cannot be done in a day or
a week. II will require time to re-
build permanent San Francisco. 1t
will likewise require hands-an
army of builders-men who know
how to lay bricks, miv cement,
rivet a steel girder and saw board
The San Franciscans have the
money and the will to build; they
have not the necessary army of
builders. Their coming is awaited.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. $50
tremendous is the task of rebuild
ing a great city that the casual
visitor is likely to get the impress
sion that little is being done in
San Francisco. He sees a man here
and there pecking away at the
choas of brick and iron and can
not realize that 1?5 carloads Of
debris are being removed daily.
He looks about at the hundreds
of deserted skyscrapers and cannot
realize that $50 0Q0,0 worth of
permanent construction is actually
under way. Yet the records show
that such are the facts. Over 500
licenses have been issued for per-
manent buildings in September and
in the one month of August 1176
permits for temporary and perma-
nent structures had been granted.
During the same month 1915 real
estate transfers had been recorded.
And the bank clearings for Aug
ust were upward of slS0.0O0 900,
which was actually s25 600, 900 in
excess of the clearings for August
year ago.
But labor IS scarce and high
priced. There are four jobs for
every man. The result may be
guessed. Union scales and all that
sort of thing have peen forgotten,
and workmen are taking what they
can get. Carpenters get $3.50 a day
and upward; steam engineers get
IS day. Plasterers get from SO
to 81 a day. Bricklayers the
same. There were instances where
chimney builders were paid as high
as SIS a day.

wages bank clerks and hookkeepers
