The motive power must como from public opinion.
and in order that such a power should exist IL Is
necessary that the ordinary individual should i'm

Experts who have given attention to the subject
believe that most cut their lives in two by
unhygienic, irrational methods of living. and that
during the half Of their natural life which they
actually live they are sick unnecessarily often and
long. Pasteur said: 1T Is within the power OF

that IL more neglected and less appreciated than

SO diet has received attention from scien-
tiIc men. II has been chiefly concerned with the
explanation of the process OF nutrition For pTac-
tical purposes, however. the important study OF
food is not much the way in which 1t is utilized
inside the body but the question of the quantities
of 1t which should consume and the method by
which we should eat It The only control prac-
tically have over food is limited to the teeth and

NOT SENDING COIN EAST.
Southern Pacific Emphatically Denies
Report That II Has Been Hust-
ling Money to New York.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1S.-
Southern Pacific officials emphatically
deny report current in Oregon and
the northern part of the state that
the company is remitting coin and
currency to the east and paying its
bills and its employees in checks to
cash at local banks.
Assistant treasurer of the Southern
Pacific c. II. Redington is authority
for the statement that not a dollar
of coin or currency. has been shipped
to the east, but that all money is be-
ing held here for local circulation.
He says Southern Pacific employees
are paid by checks and 1t has been
the custom of the interior banks, as
a matter of accommodation, to cash
these checks. So far as consistent
with good business, under present
conditions, the interior banks, more
especially at the a4.ruer places, have
signified their intention of continu-
ing this accommodation, but in places
where there are large numbers of
Southern Pacific employees, like Sac
ramento and Oakland, and where the
amount of Southern Pacific station
receipts, deposited with the banks
are relatively small, clearing house
certificates may be largely used, es-
pecially as it is not possible to fore
see where or when the checks will be
presented.

CAR SHORTAGE REMEDY. .
Railroads Believe They Will Bring !
About Through New Arrange
ment.

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.--The South
ern Pacific and Santa Fe, together
with 20 other large railroads. are
holding meeting here today
to discuss severe care shortage and
the interchange of freight equipment
Rules imposing penalty of So for
the diversion of a freight car \from
it's home road after being received
by another line have been drawn up
for consideration at the meeting.
The railroads claim that much of
the car shortage is due to the fact
that they are unable to keep their
cars on their own roads. Many rail-
roads are said to he in the habit of
using cars received from other roads,
and at present there is no penalty
other than the per diem charge of 80
cents.
Twenty-Five railroads have agreed
to abide by any rules adopted by the
conference for a period of six months
and efforts are being made to bring
all the members Of the American
Railway association into the agree
ment. The roads which have so far
consented to the agreement are
mostly western lines.

. from the wrist to the elbow and I
his body covered with bruises.

manner in which the news of
. Mr.. MacDonald's mishap was I
. brought here there is question I
. as to what complications may I
set in.
Mr.. Macdonald had been to I

returning. Speeding along at
. the rate of 60 miles an hour, I
. the forward wheel of his auto I

CITY STATEMENTS "A COM
PARISON.

We have made careful exami-
nation of the recently published
financial statement of the city for
the year 1906. also the statement
for the year 1905, which was re-
published, as stated by the Mayor,
for the purpose of comparison.
Considering these statements
carefully. as intended, the appen-
dix to the report proper and the
statement of the Mayor in con-
junction. but for our knowledge of
the fairness of those who made
results for this statement their
freedom from political methods,
we might conclude the object to be
rather for the furtherance of pO-
litical fortunes.
In comparing the financial state
ments for the years 1905 and 1906
we find that at the end of the year
1905 there was cash in the Treas
ury. S14.29S.57; there were out
standing vouchers. $23, 299. ga:
thus showing an Indebtedness at
the end of that year of S9.091. 07.
In the financial statement of Jan
uary |, 1907. we find cash in
Treasury. 50. 1859: there were
outstanding vouchers. $lO,S95. SO:
thus showing an indebtedness at
that time of 81. 1854. In other
words as shown by comparison of
these rep0h'ts the Indebtedness of
the city was reduced $S,9l1.23
from the Both day of December,
1905. to the 1st day of January.

statement is apparent for an ex-
animation of the report of receipts

terror to the character of women

the death Of this calumniator.
