CITY WILL ACCEPT OFFER
OF LOS ANGELES RAILWAY

Los Angeles will accept $4,000 offered
by the Los Angeles railway as its share
toward the construction of the Main
street bridge, instead of the $4,000 it
had at first expected to receive.
Last week the city attorney was
asked for an opinion whether the city
could build its own bridge, without
taking the railway company into part
nership, and have one bridge in the
city with no street car tracks on 1t. 1t
was feared the railway company had
tied up the bridge site so it had a
right of way there.
The city attorney decided the city
could construct its own bridge, IL il
pleased, and could force the railway
company to build its own bridge. II
was decided to accept the $4,000 Of
sered and let the tracks stay on the
bridge.

greatest in all of DR.. Torrey's expert

IN TROPICAL FOREST.

1.-TWO or three years ago an Aus
TRAN civil engineer was travel
ing in Ceylon. Near Pasadena,
one Of the large cities, was q botanical
xarden, which is considered one Of the
finest in the world.
One afternoon the engineer strolled
around the gardens admiring the trop-
ical plants and examining the curious
forms OF vegetable life with which the
gardens abounded. At length he be-
came very tired, and, the day being
warm, even for Ceylon, he lay down
and was soon fast asleep. what nap
pened is best told in his W words.
IT must have slept an hour" he says
twhen I was awakened suddenly by an
uncanny feeling, and opened my eyes
Judge of my surprise when L saw
perched upon my feet, body and even
upon my shoulders, a lot of little mon
keys; while all about me and beaming
down upon me from the trees, were
monkeys of all sizes and ages. IL
seemed to me there were myrlads OF
them. I was frightened, for l knew
these monkeys were wild, and, in their
wild state. 1 did not known what SO
many of them might do.
II gave one leg a twitch, then, the
other, and bounded to my feet, throw
ing off all that were garfbolling oVei
and about me. In a second the mon
keys vanished, and only here and there
peering down from the tops of the tai
trees, could I see any of them.
IT was very much alarmed, for tins
appearance of SO many of them was en-
tirely unexpected. 1t was q week be-
fore I got over my fright. 1t appeared
however, that the monkeys had meant
no harm to me. The congress had beer
called, and their examination of me as
1 lay upon the ground was merely out
of curiosity to divine what kind Of an
object l really was.
Nevertheless, 1 vowed never to go tc
sleep again in a wild tropical forest
even IL it happened to be called

Treatment for Enlarged pores

Treatment for Enlarged Pores.
Enlarged pores n blackheads are
perhaps the greatest of all troubles that
beset milady's skin, and causes more
worry or annoyance to the woman
who would preserve her good looks.
An excess of rich food or drink with
their common result, indigestion, are
mostly to blame for the condition Of
the skin. Greasy food, such as fried
dishes and gravies. will play sad havoc
with the complexion and" cause the
pores to become coarse and enlarged.
This Is easily understood when one
realizes that more fat Is taken into the
system than can be thrown off in nor
NAL manner through the liver, and so
It makes it's way through the pores of
the skin, enlarging them, n causing
the complexion to be oily, the latter
m lnvariable accompaniment of dilated
pores.
Failure to keep the skin perfectly
clean may be another cause of this
difflculty, and to obviate 1T the flesh
must be thoroughly washed to remove
the dust from the pores, as they cannot
throw out the dirt unassisted. Pores,
II must be remembered, are like tiny
lungs, and give air to the skin. Clog
them and they struggle for breath, and
this causes dilation. 1t Is impossible
to prevent dust getting on the skin
through the day, and therefore great
care must be taken to clean the pores
at night. 1t is because a complexion
brush does this so successfully that Its
use Is advocated. These brushes should
