STOP PAYING FOR PROMISES

A promise is not cure.
The man who thinks IL is. soon
discovers his mistake-after he pays
for It.
When some would-be doctor, who
got his medical education out of an
encyclopaedia, says that he will cure
you with drugs. you believe him
without hesitation. You were taught
to believe in drugs.
Fifty years ago they lnougnt
bleeding was the only cure for dis
ease OF any kind Think of drain
ing a mans life blood now You
wouldn't have it done. yet doctors
made your ancestors believe in It.,
just as they have caused you to be-
lieve in drugs.
Science has made some wonderful
discoveries since those days. 1 don't
mean medical science. If you call
that science That body Of fanat-
les is still cropping in the dark
going from colossal blunder TO blum
der and championtng new absurdi-
ties every year
But the worlds greatest scien-
fists have proven that the force
which runs the human machine, the
power that builds vitality and
strength. Is electricity.
They have shown that most all
sickness and chronic disorders are
due TO a lack Of electric energy.
They have taught US the worthless
ness OF drugs, that they are only
poisons, and poisons don't cure.
The reason drugs don't cure is be-
cause they don't help nature Ma
ture wants nourishment, not poison.
This nouriShment is electricity. 1t
puts vim and energy into every part
of your body. 1t gives strength TO
every vital organ, enabling each part
TO do its work as nature intended.
When every organ is working
right there can be no pain or sick
ness.
My Electro-Vigor pumps a steady
current of electric life into your
nerves and yitals while you sleep.
All night long you feel its gentle.

ETfl6T TslpsG9sc j psssG9ss coIEeI CHER, secretary of
>Ssgfs5TEIss the San Francisco
labor council, has
been authorized by that body to hire
a horse and buggy whenever he has
many places to visit in the discharge
of his duties as a committee of one on
any investigation. He has been in the
habit of securing rig from a certain
stable and was always given the same
horse, which answered his purpose but
last Thursday he was given another
horse and while driving along Mission
street he noticed that the animal
would, of his own volition, turn toSthe
right or left of the street and stop in
front of some saloons and that it re-
quired the whip to make him move.
The following day he was given the
same horse and as he had to go over
the same course he discovered the same
peculiarity on the part of the horse for
stopping at the same saloons he had
halted at the previous day. When he
returned the animal to the stable he
of the horses peculiar desire to stop
at certain saloons and not at others.
The proprietor said: Why that's
easy; the horse belongs to Supervisor
Oscar Hooks, who is now in the coun-
try, and Hooks is in the liquor trade.
1 suppose that he has visited the places
you mention so frequently that the
horse. like those in the postoffice de-
partment learned to stop at those
places from force OF habit
Gallagher smiled and said: THANK
God for that l thought the horse had
sized me up, was under the impression
that occasionally 1 needed a small beer
and that he was a capper for particular
saloons"

the council granted a dispensation to
