Every Man tiIa own Doctor.

The average man cannot AFFORD to
employ a physician for every slight
ailment or injury that may occur in
his family, nor can he AFFORD to ne
elect them, as SO slight an injury as
the scratch of a pin has been known
to cause the loss Of limb. Hence
every man must, from necessity, be
his own doctor for this class Of all
ments. Success often depends upon
prompt treatment. which can only be
had when suitable medicines are kept
at hand. Chamberlain's remedies
have been IN the market for many
years and .enjoyNa good reputation.

swimmers along the Pacific coast, Will
go back on the lifesaving crew of the
Long Beach Bath House company to-
morrow morning after having been en-
gagged in other business for nearly a
year.
A catamaran is being built at the
Western boat works for use in the surf
instead of the heavy lifeboat now in
service. 1t will be fourteen feet long
and five feet wide. A flag tower will be
constructed on top of the lifesaving sta
tion this week from which signals will
be fioated describing the condition of
the tide and the surf at all hours of the
day. Still another device for the pro-
lection Of bathers will be Installed II O
floating piledriver can be secured to
drive piling in the ocean bed $50 feet
beyond the end of the present life lines.
From d watch tower which would be
built on the sand a cable would be
stretched to the ocean piling, and down
this cable lifeguard would slide at the
first signal of distress from bather.
Seven hundred bathers have bathed in
the surf in front of the bath house since
the Bath House company put on its
first lifesaving crew in 1902, but in that
time only nine lives have been lost. OF
those who We're drowned one was the
victim of heart disease, one died from
shock and nearly all the other deaths
