Will TEAR DOWN
CITY HALL SOON
Special Committee Approves the
Plan to Erect Entirely
New Structure
Fifty Thousand Dollars Will Be
Appropriated to Start
the Work

Another month will probably see in
progress the active demolition of the
old city hall. Supervisors Rixford,
Broderick, Booth, Pollok, McLeran,
Murphy and Bancroft, the special COM
mittee in charge, received yesterday
the long delayed report Of Architects
Albert Pissis, James Reid, John Galen
Howard and Newton J. Tharp to the
effect that the structure be entirely
removed and the city build a new
structure and the committee acted at
once in favor of the recommendations.
Its recommendation that $50,000 be
set aside and the board of works be
directed to advertise for bids to have
the structure removed will undoubt-
edly be approved by the board next
Monday. The work of removal will be
let in at least four separate contracts
so that the razing of the different
parts may proceed expeditiously. The
supervisors believe the salvage Of
brick and iron will be sufficient to pay
for clearing 1t away once the work is
started, but the money will be pro-
vided to initiate the proceedings.
The people will be asked in January
or whereabouts to authorize a bond is
sue of probably $5,000,o00 for the con-
.struction of modern freproof city
hall. No formal action was taken by
the committee yesterday on this point,
but the members expressed them
selves as determined TO make things
move.
II is understood that Mayor Taylor
and many of the board members favor
the erection Of classic group OF small
buildings instead of one enormous pile
as more conSonant with the city's
needs. The plan offers several advan-
tages. More light and air to the floor
space would be available, and the de-
votion of single buildings to individ-
ual departments would aid citizens in
doing business with the municipality.
After a general plan had been chosen,
also, the single buildings might be
erected as needed and as funds were
available. Their completion would be
much sooner, in the opinion Of the
board members, than in the case of
one great building.

In Regard to Health

The curative value of fruit is being
more and more insisted upon by those
who make study of distetfcs. Grapes
are recommended for the dyspeptic,
the consumptive, the anaemic, and for
those with a tendency to gout and
liver troubles. Plums, also, are said
to be cure for gouty and rheumatic
tendencies.
The acid fruits, particularly lemons
and oranges, are especially good for
stomach troubles and rheumatism. 1t
is not sufficient, say the advocates of
the fruit cure, to eat small guam
tity at breakfast or dinner. II oranges
are eaten for g. curative purpose the
number may vary from three to six
a day. A healthy condition of the
body depends upon perfect balance
OF foods taken. There are many other
factors entering into the question. but
this feature must not be forgotten.
There are few people who can keep
healthy without fruit.
Healthy children have healthy tastes
and are Invariably fond of vegetables
and fruit, The craving for meat which
affects some children is morbid and
unnatural and entirely an artificial
craving superinduced by improper
Small children need no meat what
ever. Their dietary should consist of
milk cereals fruit and vegetables.
Eggs are good for children, but should
not be fried for them. but simply boiled
or poached, or eaten in the form of
cuStards.

Culinary Notes
SaIads-Saiads of all kinds should be
gently handled. That is. they should
not be put into the desired shape by

the dish and then gently tossing the
salad with an upward movement let

is well to put the oil on first and then
carefully toss the leaves about untii

good should be gentle and regular
Women too often take no exercise at
all and sit huddled over a book or a
piece of fancy work or they will start
suddenly to walk and continue walk

force themselves to walk when they
are tagged out, with every muscle ach-

AUTO DEALERS ARE
WEARY OF RACING
Find That the Frequent Compe-
tition Is Becoming Far
Too Expensive
Promoters of Track Meetings
the Only Ones to Derive
Any Benefit
By K. K. fH0mmedieu

Fresno is to have an automobile
track meeting that is not meeting with
much favor on automobile row. 1t
costs about $500 to prepare Il car for
such an event, not counting incidental
expenses incurred. The fact that some
of the dealers enter these events forces
others into competition to protect the
names of their cars. but taking it as
a whole, virtually none of the partici-
pants is overanxious to compete. Pro-
miscuous track racing is a good thing
for the promoter, but bad for the game.
If it is not curtailed there Is no telling
where 1t will end. Mushroom tracks
will be springing up throughout the
state. backed by promoters who wish
to derive a little easy money, while
the automobile dealer pays the costs.
All that Is necessary under the pre-
vailing conditions is a fee of $50 TO
the national association and the race
meet is on. Some time ago the auto
mobile dealers association OF Cali
fornia passed a resolution putting itself
on record as against track racing and
prohibiting it's members taking part In
any meet not sanctioned by the asso-
citation.
Rules governing the Fresno races
open the entries only to automobiles
of which II have been built and run
on the roads. This is directed at the
is alleged TO be of the racing order
and is known to be faster than any
thing else in it's class. The Comet was
allowed to enter the Santa Rosa races
and also those at Tanforan, and there
is no reason why Fresno or any other
town holding an open meeting. os-
tensibly for the sports sake. should
prohibit a car that has received the
public and trade appreciation.
1t is pointed out by the Fresnoites
that, fearing the entry of the Comet,
other cars will refuse to enter and the
race meeting will be a failure from
| a financial standpoint.
The sooner the trade cuts out these
events. in which the dealers are the
performers as in circus and the
promoter derives the gate receipts, the
better 1t will be for the automobile
sport If there are to be competitions,
they should be controlled by the
dealers association and any profits de-
rived should go to the association.
In the east the death warrant of the
promoter has been signed, and now all
races are being conducted by clubs and
| associations which foster and advance
the interests of automobilists.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful II In
in Preserving Health and Beauty.
Cost Nothing to Trr

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier in nature, but few realize
it's value when taken into the human svs.
TEN for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more YOU
take Of II the better; II is not a drug al
all, but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
and inteCtines and carries them out OF the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking. or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion. II whitens the teeth. and
further acts as natural and eminentlv
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: Il dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison OF catarrh-
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another. but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is In
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form. or rather in the form of
large pleasant tasting lozenges. the char
coal being mixed with honey.

sweeter breath. and purer blood. and the
beauty OF 1t is that no possible harm can
result from their continued use, but, on
the contrary. great benefit.
A Buffalo physician. In speaking Of the

Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients

Several hundred persons attended the
debate last night at the Mount Vernon
Place Methodist Episcopal Church, be-
tween the A. B. Pugh class club of that
church and the WorIey class club. OF the
Bethany Baptist Church, on the subject.
Resolved, That immigration to the

The decision was awarded 10 the mega

G. Jarboe, Of the A. B. Pugh class club.
The affirmative was represented by NJ. d.
Kiefer and F. A. MIllott, Of the WorIey

Mr.. Scott, Of the negative. recited the
fact that, after ninety years OF unre-
stricted immigration, in which 2S.OO0,0o0
immigrants had entered this country. our
institutions were unimpaired and our
prosperity unexampled. He reviewed the
conditions Of the United States, politically
and industrially. asserting that immigra-
