The dwelling house of Johile Cass
one and one-half miles west of
town, was totally destroyed by fire
last Monday forenoon. Mrs. Cass
and the children were visiting her
sister at Dolton, and as Mr.. Cass
was alone he did not build a fire
that morning but ate a cold break
fast and came to town with a load
of corn. Shortly after he got here
a telephone messagesscame from his
neighbor stating that his house was
burning. He rushed home as soon
as possible, taking a load of men
from town but, famed by the fierce
wind that was blowing, the fire had
done its work before they got there.
Some of his neighbors discovered
the fire in time to save q few arti-
cles ont of one room but nearly
everything was burned, even to the
family clothing. There was a small
insurance but not neerly enough
to cover the loss. The origin Of
the fire is a mystery, as there had
been no fire in the house since the
! evening before.

From Bed COverlets at
Burglar

BERK ELEY, March 1S.-Peeping
from under the coverlets. Miss Cora
Callem. young society woman Of Los
Angeles. visiting at the home of Louis
Titus, president of the Peoples water
company at $500 Durant avenue,
watched a burglar ransack the apart
ment in which she slept with Mrs. Titus
Monday night. For several minutes
she watched him. Then no longer able
to endure the strain, she turned on the
electric switch and the burglar fed,
taking with him jewelry worth more
than $500
Miss Callem was awakened by the
noise the robber made in his search for
the jewel box of Mrs. Titus. She slow
ly raised the bed covers and caught a
glimpse of the burglar, who was
equipped with dark lantern and re-
yolver.
He cautiously opened the bureau
drawer and thoroughly ransacked the
room. Miss Callem, however. remained
quiet for fear that she would be shot
if she gave the. alarm. Meanwhile Mrs.
Titus slept while her jewels were be-
ing gathered in by the burglar. Sud-
denly Miss Callem screamed and turned
on the electric switch. Before the sur
prised burglar had time to escape Miss
Callem obtained good description of
him, which she gave the police today.
Mrs. Titus said today that the bur-
glar forced the door of the kitchen with
a Jimmy.

Fire which broke out at o'clock
this morning burned to the ground the
Saunders sausage factory and the

Grated by night force.
Both buildings were of frame and
the flames spread with such rapidity
that many surrounding factories anc
warehouses were threatened with de-
struction. Two alarms sent in from box

called out a dozen engines, which soon
had the fire under control.
Both buildings and contents were a
total loss. The sausage factory was

STUDENTS UNREAD,
WELLS REPEATS
Berkeley Faculty Member Still
Maintains Undergraduates
Lack Literary Culture
They Are Brilliant, However, He
Admits, and Quick and
Witty Withal

BERKELEY, March 1S.-Prof. Chaun-
cey Wells of the English department. OF
the university amplihed today the re-
marks he made before the EbeI club
OF Oakland yesterday, in which he de-
elared that the undergraduate student
OF the university possessed more i'm
agination and a quicker fancy than
the students in the large institutions or
other states but were unread and
sho-kingly deficient in knowledge OF
literature.
Wells. who is a Yale graduate and for
some time was connected with the
English department there. said today
that the mind ofAthe average student OF
the University of California far sur
passed that OF the students in other
colleges in the United States.
The Californian Is brilliant. but he
is unread Wells reiterated today. He
is witty. active and is a thinking being
but the trouble is that he is uncultured
as far as reading and the knowledge
of literature is concerned.
TN classroom the student OF the
university has a ready answer for
everything" Wells went on. but he has
not the facts, the groundwork for
thorough knowledge of English. Some
think this is gained by the reading OF
the poets. but often the average stud
ent neglects reading. We members OF
the faculty OF the English department
have devised a special course In litera-
ture for the training Of the student. for
u Is in this department of literature
he is wofulIy deficient"
Prof Thomas Sanford OF the English
department does not entirely agree
with Professor Wells. He said that the
students of the University of Cali
fornia were the peers of the students of
other universities in their knowledge
OF literature.
There is no difference practically
between the students of the Univer
sity of California and other students.

DR. PIERcE's REMEDIES
A Lazy Liver

May be only tired liver, or a starved
liver. 1t would be stupid as well as
savage thing to beat a weary or starved
man because he Jagged in his work So
in treating the tagging, torpid liver it is
a great mistake to lash it with strong
drastic drugs. A torpid liver is but an
indication of an ill-nourished. enfeebled
body whose organs are weary with over
work. Start with the stomach and allied
organs of digestion and nutrition. Put
them in working order and see how
quickly your liver will become active

organs of digestion and nutrition. It re-
stores the normal activity of the stomach,
increases the secretions Of the blood-mak-

STUDENTS MUST SHOW
MARK OF VACCINATION

BERKELEY, March 1S-Notice was
served on Warren Allen, a freshman
student of the university, that he must
not attend his classes until a vaccina-
tion wound had been examined by DIR.
George Reinhardt. medical examiner OF
the students. Allen recently presented
a certificate of vaccination signed by
DR.. Hubert ~ Rowell, but Reinhardt
declined to receive this on the ground
that the rules of the university re-
quired hina to make a personal exami-
nation of the effects of the virus. DIR.
Reinhardt also served notice on the
instructors OF young Allen that they
must not. receive him in their classes.
Allen, however. attended college TO-
day and no attempt was made to bar
his entrance into the classroom. He
was not called upon to recite, however,
and no official recognition of his
presence in the classroom was taken
by the professors of his eight classes.

ALAMEDA HEALTH
BOARD DIVIDED
Salary Raises and Dissensions
Among Members Stir An
ger of the Mayor
Taylor Declares Organization
Is Inactive and Inefficient
and Supports D'Eyelyn

ALAMEDA. March 1S.-Harmony has
been destroyed in the board of health.
The sanitary body is divided against
itself, three and two. The majority is
made up sof DIR. ]. Emmett clark, presi-
dent; DR.. j. X Hamilton and Dr. Harold
f. Miller. The minority consists or
Dr. F. w. d'Evelyn and DR.. e. M
keyes
Mayor E. K Taylor says that because
of Inactivity and inetficiency on the
part of the board" and because of al
legged violations of the charter by the
majority of the health officials IN IN
creasing the salary of DR.. L. w. Std
ham, health officer. from SIS to $3.50
month. and the salary of the food and
dairy inspector DIR. Tom Carpenter, from
sS5 to S135 month, something will
have to be done and that the board
possibly may be reorganized The
mayor. who stands with the minority OF
the health board. has held UP the salary
warrant of Doctor Stidham for $3.50
Under the charter all claims against
the municipality for more than $500
have to be approved by the mayor.
DIR. F. w. d'Evelyn and DIR. f. M.
Keyes have intimated that if DIR. j.
Emmett Clark is not retired from the
presidency of the health board they
will resign.
One of the rocks upon which the
health board split is the pure milk or
dinance. Doctor d'Evelyn d has been a
determined upholder of the law, while
the majority of the board is said to
favor the policy of letting the milk
men down easy"
Another matter that rent the board
asunder was the effort on the part Of
the majority to dismiss A. A. Cunning
ham, city chemist, on the ground that
he was incompetent. Shortly after the
opening of the general sanitary cam
paign Cunningham was required to do
extra work in the way of examining
rats and his pay was increased from
$50 to 500 a month. When the ma
jority sought to dismiss Cunningham
the minority succeeded in saving him
by consenting to again fix his salary
at $50.
Doctor Clark, president of the health
board. says that the salary of Doctor
Stidham was increased because the
health officer was required under new
rule of the state health board to in
spect all bodies. Doctor Carpenters
salary was raised, Doctor Clark said,
because he is giving all his time to
sanitary work.
Concerning the friction in the health
board. Mayor Taylor said:
Not only has the board been mac
tive. but it has violated the city char
ter in giving Doctor Stidham and Doc
tor Carpenter raise of salary to cover
back pay for extra work said to have
been done. No ultimatum has as yet
been delivered to me by Doctor
d Evelyn and Doctor Keyes that they
would resign if Doctor Clark is not re-
moved. Doctor d'Evelyn is pro-
gressive man and wants to see some
thing done. So do T..
