Make It Yourself.

Tells Our Readers How to Mix Best Rheuma-
tism Cure.
A well-known authority on rheumatism
gives the readers Of large New York daily
paper the following valuable, yet simple and
harmless, prescription, which one can easily
prepare at home
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce !
Compound Kargon, one ounce Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla three ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and take
a teaspoonfal after each meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be OBJ
tanned from any good prescription pharmacy
at small cost, and, being OF vegetable ex-
traction, are harmless to take.
This pleasant mixture, II taken regularly
for few days, Is said to overcome almost
any case OF Rheumatism. The pain and
swelling, IL any, diminishes with each dose,
until permanent results are obtained, and
without injuring the stomach While there
are many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, ETC., some Of which do
give relief, few really give permanent results,
and the above will, no doubt, be greatly APP
preciated by many sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores OF this neigh
borhood ELECTS the information that these
drugs are harmless and can be bought separ-
ately, or the druggists here will mix the pre-
scription for our readers, If asked to-

A Private Letter.

Dear SaIlie.
Last Saturday met Skid down TO the
hotel and he said he had sent some poetry
TO his girl, her name is Pauline, and that
Sunday evening he called at her house in
tending to ask her an important question,
but the old man met him at the door and
said, "Mr. Doc, your poetry made quite an
impression on me and am now going to
make an impression on you" and he kicked
him down the front steps. Here is what
Skid wrote:
Will you 90 TO the Fair with me, Pauline I?
1t comes in the month OF June;
If the old man objects and acts kinder mean,
Just tell him TO go bark at the moon.
Now, Sallie wasn't that fierce, II write
you any poetry it will be something nice.
BY the way, l heard yesterday that over
5000 tick cts had been sold for the Masonic
Fair and that there were only 1000 left. am
glad we got ours early and hope you win
the prize. Hestatingly yours,

MUST COMPLY WITH
THE NINE HOUR LAW
Interstate Commission Refuses
TO Grant Extension of Time
to Railroads

WASHINGTON, March Announce
ment was made today of the formal
decision Of the interstate commerce
commission as to the application by
railroads for an extension of time
within which TO comply with an act of
congress al many stations covered by
the l3 hour provision and at nearly
twO-thirds in the aggregate of the
stations on the lines of the applicants
10 which the hour provision relates
The petitions allege in some cases in
ability to secure the additional force
required and in most cases the fnan-
cial hardship which the compliance
imposes.
An order was entered by the COM
mission denying the petitions in every
case II was held by the commission
unanimously that TO grant such
wholesale orders OF extension would
interfere in effect with the policy Of
the legislation in its fundamental
aspects and would amount TO an
amendment OF the law by an official
body charged with its administration.
IL was held further that to grant ex-
tension on account of financial dis
tress would open the door TO endless
uncertainties because there is no pos
sible means OF determining the degree
OF financial distress which would JUS
rify extension and II mere financial
hardship is, in the language of the
law, good cause for postponing
compliance, il was equally good cause

BERKELEY GARBAGE
QUESTION SERIOUS
Gilman Street People Threaten
War if Dumping Continues
or Present Site

BERKELEY, March 7.-Determined
that no more garbage should be
dumped at the foot of Gilman street on
the bay shore. 200 citizens of the vicin-
ity of Third and Gilman streets, West
Berkeley, met at Duggan hall. Corbin
station, tonight and formed the West
End protective association. Mrs. Ella
de Veau was elected president and Mrs.
Nellie Dowling secretary
By this action of the citizens of the
West End Berkeley has no place where
the garbage can be dumped and the
situation is critical.
Ten of the residents of the vicinity
at the meeting tonight pledged them
selves to stop all dumping Of garbage
Monday morning. Peaceful methods
will first be used to ward off scav-
engers from the tide lands. but if this
fails, ii is said, shotgun methods will
be used.
Two hundred boys, the sons of the
people living in that vicinity, have been
engaged by the association to assist in
keeping the scavengers from the roads
leading to the dumping grounds. The
boys will be provided with rocks and
other missiles and told to keep the
scayengers of the streets.
Town Trustee W. ]. Schmidt, on
whose land the scavengers are dumping
garbage, was present at the meeting
and made a speech indorsing the ac-
tion. Before he left the hall Schmidt
turned over to the president signed
order revoking the permit he had Civ
en- the garbagemen. He also assured
the residents that he WILL have their
rights protected, even If he was COM
PEELED to call the entire Berkeley po-
lice department to the scene to drive
away the scavengers.
AS the Contra Costa improvement
club has forbidden the scavengers to
dump refuse matter at the county line
the board of town trustees have en-
countered the most serious phase os
the garbage situation which has yet
presented itself, as the Fred Foss
property at the foot of Delaware
street will not be ready for the scaven-
gers for three weeks, as the tide lands
must first be bulkheaded.
The offer of the King keystone oil
company Of dumping site at the foot
OF Bristol street may be accepted and
the place used temporarily.

DIPLOMATS SANGUINE

LONDON, March Tt is the general
opinion in diplomatic circles that the
chances OF a rupture between Japan

Pending the receipt Of advices from

While diplomats consider that China
