A Model
Cafeteria
43O South Broadway

A new cafeteria was thrown open to
the public Tuesday at 49O South Broad
way occupying the entire second floor
of the Bumiller building.
To say that it took" with the pub
lie is but putting it mildly. AS early
as II O'Clock streams of people began
pouring in and at 1 o'clock the man
,agement were compelled to close the
door for want of supplies not having
dr., med of such an ovation.
Monday was inspection day." when
a large and continuous stream of
some of the best people of Los Angeles
flowed into the light and airy and spa
cious rooms of this modern eating es-
Establishment from il a. m. to $50 p. M,
during which hours delicious ice cream
and cake were served free to every
one who visited the premises.
Wednesday the crowds were even
greater than ON Monday and Tuesday
and arrangements for caring for the
crowds were ample and all were thor
oughly satisfied with the abundance of
good things to eat and the most ex-
cellent service.
The management have adopted the
unique and significant name $50 Diff
ferent" for their cafeteria to designate
it from other places of a similar char
acter, and to indicate thereby it's dis
tinguishing features. The question is
frequently asked, In what way is this
cafeteria different from others? The
question could not be satisfactorily
answered in a column of newspaper
space. So to one and all it is suggested
60 and see." incidentally it might
be said that perhaps few of the points
in which the eating public might be
interested is the fact that good" light
and good" air are quickly noted by
everyone entering there-this is differ
emit The management promises that
nothing but good things to eat will
be served to patrons-another point of
difference worthy of note. Again, the
things supposed to be served hot will
be served hot-which is quite a differ
ence. And yet again, the kitchen will
be kept as clean and inviting at all
times as the dining room. 1t is said
that this. is both a distinction and a
difference, with. a big D. But, since
it is best not to particularize, you are
invited to Ego and see," for seeing is
believing.

OUT-OE-TOWN PUPILS
TO PAY TUITION FEE
Non-Residents Are So Numerous at
Santa Monica High School AM
nuaI Payment Is Made
Necessary

SANTA MONICA, Dec. 2.-The board
of education finally has come to a de-
cision regarding the status of non-resi-
dent pupils in the high school.
They announce that beginning with
the term which commences February
tuition fee of S. q month will be
charged pupils living outside the school
district.
The matter has been under discussion
for long time and many arguments
have been urged both for and against
charging the non-residents. When it is
taken into consideration there are be-
tween seventy and eighty of these stu
dents and that the annual expense is
more than $4,000 to the taxpayers of this
district it will be seen that the action
of the board is more in self-defense
than otherwise.

QUALIFICATION FOR FREE
DELIVERY TO BE JUDGED

SANTA MONICA, Dec. 2.-Much in
terest is being manifested by the citi-
zens of this city in the coming visit of
Postal Inspectors Knox and Hall, who
are due here Thursday to inspect actual
conditions relative to qualifications of
this city for carrier service.
The question of free delivery has
been discussed a long time, first one
inspector coming and reporting and
then another, and still nothing has
been said about establishing the ser
vice. Petition after petition has found
it's way to the authorities at Wash
ington, only to disappear from the
public view, and still no free delivery.
1t is understood the visit of the in
spectors at this time will settle for all
time to come the validity of Santa

NOT ALWAYS DEADLY.
Expert Says Seventy Per Cent. OF
People Have tuberculosis. Only
Fifteen Per Cent. Die.

tuberculosis in its many phases
was thoroughly discussed at the ninth
annual meeting of the American
Therapeutic Society. Expert physi-
clans told of the proper treatment of
the dreaded disease in its varying
stages.
The first paper, upon the treatment
of tuberculosis. was read by DR.. Law
renee F. Flick. who has charge of the
White Haven sanitarium.
THE restoration of the afflicted in
dividual to his normal capacity and
the stimulation of his intrinsic disease
fighting qualities constitute in a
broad sense the modern treatment of
tuberculosis, declared DR.. Flick.
LAS rule the tubercle bacillus is
not very virulent to human beings.
The tendency to recover is so great
that the majority who suffer i'm
plantation will recover without devel-
oping noticeable symptoms. Seventy
per cent. OF all persons living in civil
lied communities get implantation of
tuberculosis. Only fifteen per cent.
of those living in civilized communi-
ties die of the disease. Without
mixed infection tuberculosis would
never kill"
W. Sohler Bryant, of New York.
declared that from the ear come the
first signs of pulmonary tuberculosis.
