In some cases where cows have been

one or two fresh cows In the milking
herd will often overcome the difficulty

THE SEPARATOR.
If Properly Handled 1t Will Prove q
Splendid Investment.

Every progressive dairyman should
have hand separator. You can then
give the calves fresh sweet skim milk.
1t il expensive to feed calves on whole
milk especially when you can sell the
butter for % cents per pound and sup
ply the fat taken from the milk by Oil
meal or oil cake at few cents per
pound.
From the other side, the separator Ia
certainly a splendid investment as a
labor saver. 1t is also valuable as Il
means Of getting all the butter fat from
the milk Get good standard ma
chine, but don't get a very small size
unless you have only very few cows.
For ten to twelve cows we would cer-
tainly recommend a $50 to $50 pound
per hour separator.
Cleaning the Machine.
Wash the machine every time it Is
used. Don't believe the agent who
tells you that you can wash his ma
chine by simply dipping the parts in
warm water. Any one who has han.
died vessels in which milk has beer
kept knows that that is not so. Use
brush, not dish rag, to wash each
piece Of the separator then pour boil
ing hot water over the parts and allow
to dry.
Use plenty Of oil on the bearings, and
thus greatly increase the life Of the
machine Fasten the separator sc.
curely to the floor, take three minutes
to speed 1t up, heat up the bowl with
little lukewarm water before separat
Ing, then flush out with a little clean
water after the milk has run through
to get all the cream.--Professor w. J.

HEALTH REPORT
Shows Two-Thirds of Office Men Are
Victims of Dyspepsia

Recent official health reports make
the surprising revelation that 60 per
cent OF men employed at office work
are afflicted to a greater or less de-
gree with dyspepsia.
Commenting on this, one of the head
medical advisers of the department
says that If dyspepsia or indigestion
even in it's milder forms is allowed to
continue it will in short time poison
the blood from putrefaction of food in
the stomach.
This eventually undermines the
whole system and the sufferer is prev
to almost any disease, especially afflic-
tions of the kidneys and lungs. He
advises any one with indications OF
indigestion, such as bloating, belching
and headaches, to relieve it promptly
He says this can be most effectively
done by using digestive and gives the
following formula which he strongly
recommends: 1.-TWO ounces Essence OF
Pepsin, three ounces Syrup of Ginger,
one ounce Catandir Compound These
to be we'll mixed and used in doses of
from one to two teaspoonfuls after
each meal, also at bedtime for the first
week."
This being very simple home rem
edy, the ingredients obtainabIe at any
well stocked drug store 1t is pleasant
to take and probably is the most eff
fective formula known to science for
restoring the stomach to its normal ac-
tivity in the secretion of gastric juices.

SEEKS BEST MAN
FOR GAS INSPECTOR
MAYOR FAvoRs COMPETITIVE
EXAMINATION
Success of New Wren-HeWitt Measure
Depends Mainly on Enforcement
of Provisions of the
Ordinance

Mayor Harper is determined to get the
best man for the newly created position
of gas inspector as a result of the pas
sage of the Wren-Hewitt gas ordinance.
The mayor favors holding a civil SER
vice examination Immediately for the
position, and he is anxious that the best
available men in the city shall take the
examination.
The success of the new law depends
mainly on the ability and fearlessness of
the new inspector, who is charged with
seeing that its provisions are enforced.
AS the City Gas company will shortly
inaugurate it's service, nearly thirty
miles of mains having been laid and the
new plant being under way, the enforce
ment of the law will be watched with
interest in and out of the city hall.
The fact that the Los Angeles
Gas and Electric company showed
no open hostility to the meas
ure, although the City Gas company
managed to secure few amendments,
is interpreted in different ways by those
who watch legislation, some arguing that
1t will be fought in the courts, others
that the companies will first make test
of premilinary strength and still others
that pressure will be used to get the
right" man named as inspector.
The mayor, however, says he is anxious
that thoroughly competent and consci-
entious man be given Hhe position and
is looking for the one with the qualifica-
tions.

CITY MAY BUILD
NEW WIRE LINES
NO BIDS ON AoUEDUcT POWER
SYSTEM
Superior Court Can Award Privilege to
City Despite Law Requiring
Bids to Be Adver-
tised

County supervisors may now grant the
city of Los Angeles the privilege of
building pole and wire lines along the
public highways, for the purpose of car
rying electric power to aid in the con-
struction of the Owens river aqueduct.
According to legal opinion rendered by
Deputy District Attorney Hartley Shaw
yesterday, the supervisors need not ad-
vertise for bids for the franchise, de-
spite the stringent laws requiring all
privileges to be advertised for bids.
If the board of supervisors see fit
they may now grant the privilege to the
city, which will mean so much in the
work of the speedy and economical con-
struction of the great city water system.
The decision was rendered in response
to an application from the supervisors
for advice upon the legal aspects of the
question. The written decision was made
after thorough investigation of the
law and review of similar decisions rem
dered by courts touching upon the case
in question. 1t is in part as follows:
AFTER careful consideration Of the
Los Angeles herald., 1907-11-15

matter I am of the opinion that it is
not necessary to advertise the franchise
In question for sale. By subdivision 81
of section 4041 of the political code, the
board of supervisors is authorized to
grant franchises along and over the pub
lie roads and highways for all lawful
purposes upon such terms and considera-
tions as in their judgment may be neces-
sary and proper, and in such manner as
to present the least possible obstruction
and inconvenience to the travelling public.
For such a limited privilege there
could, in the nature of things, be no
competition, as only the city of Los
Angeles could make use of the permis-
sion to be granted. 1t is evident from
the provisions of the act of 1903 that
it is only intended to apply to franchises
Tor commercial purposes.

SPECIAL OFFICER
TURNS IN STAR
J. cokoLET NO LONGER MEMBER
OF FORCE
Man Charged with Using Position to
BIackmalI countryman Saves Conn
missioners Trouble of Making.
Investigation

Special Policeman ]. Cokolet turned in
his star to the police authorities yester-
day, thus resigning his position on the
police force.
This action is said to be the result
of complaints filed against him in Justice
Summerfeld's court, charging him with
using his position as an officer to black-
mail a fellow Slavonian and with havlng
sworn to a falsehood in order to obtain
his position on the force.
According to the complaint Cokolet Is
not a citizen of the United States and
therefore cannot hold position on the
police force. In it Cokolet is also charged
with falsely imprisoning Mike Mar1cn, a
Slavonian, who appeared as plalntln IN
the complaint against the officer. Mike 8
cousin. George Marich, was made joint
defendant with the police officer, it be-
ing maintained the two had conspired
to blackmail their fellow countrymen out
of money.
The row resulted from the theft of
between $40O and $500 from the Slavon-
ians living at S17 Sunset boulevard. Mike
Marich was awakened at 2 o'clock the
morning of November G. 1907, and taken
to Jail, where he alleges he was held
prisoner for nearly day. When De-
tectives Dixon and Craig investigated
the case tney Oruereu tiS ilidh iSiS"S0N
without delay.
An investigation by M. Miklauschutz.
deputy to Constable Ben Cohn, resulted
in the filing of the complaint. Miklau-
schultz is also Slavonian and knows the
custom of his countrymen. He says the
men keep their savings in old shoes and
stockings hidden about the premises.
The empty pocketbooks which had
contained the stolen coin of the Slavon-
ians were left outside the room of Mike
Marich, for the purpose, it is said, of
throwing the guilt on him. This fact
led to his arrest on the complaint of
his cousin, George Marich, to officer
Cokolet.
A settlement has taken place between
the parties to the litigation and the suit
fled in Justice Summerfield's court was
dismissed yesterday. Miklauschutz says
the defendants agreed to pay all the
costs if the suit was not pressed.
Now that the officer has turned in his
star the police commissioners will be
saved the trouble of making an inves-
tigation.
