Southern California has no facilities for

PROVINCIAL CONDITIONS
AND ANTICIPATED METHODS
OF OUR GOVERNMENT

When the United States was COM
posed of a number of isolated, self
supporting communities the question
of lack of uniformity in laws govern
ing the peoples in their respective
states was not an issue. But now that
modern transportation facilities have
woven us into a great pulsating nation,
throbbing with a single pulse, great
trunk lines forming the main arteries
of the gigantic organism with it's ner-
vous system of telegraph and telephone
lines spreading like a web to the re-
hottest corners of the nation, all this
has changed.
We are no longer merely the citi'
zens of states linked together by a
weak federal agreement which is toll
Grated by the sovereign states merely
for the purpose of protection. Our in
dustries have become national; the
market for which they produce has be-
come world wide. Our railroad and
telegraph lines ignore state and local
boundaries and spread from one end
to the other of the continent. Our life
and our thought are all becoming ma
tional in scope. And yet, while this
gigantic change in our life, produced
by the evolution of industry, has been
going on, our system of government,
devised to meet the needs of two CEN
turtles ago, still remains in effect, with
a few minor changes. The system of
local control still prevails, while the
life of the people has become national,
and there is no uniformity in the plans
of control adopted by the various COM
monwealths. Industry has become
centralized and nationalized; govern
ment control has remained local and
scattered.
Lack of harmony among the laws of
the states has led to many difficulties.
When a railroad line began and ended
in the same state the problem of rail-
road control by states was simple. But
when a single railroad line began to
push it's course across half dozen or
more states the problem began to take
on a more serious aspect.

market not extending beyond the boun-

London is surprised that Mrs. Lang
try is apparently as young as ever
But the Lily, who is now Lady de
Battle, merely illustrates the paradox
cal fact that years do not constitute
age. They may contribute to the condi-
ton known as growing old, but many
persons keep young in spite of them.
Los Angeles has several young citizens
whose years are many; notably Mrs.
Rebecca Spring, who Is nearing the
century mark but is younger than
many women of 80.

Anti-race track sentiment is growing,
and anti-race track associations nave

is the gambling feature which is OBJ
jected to. Every human being with
red blood in his veins admires con-
tests of strength, skill or endurance,
and nothing is prettier than horse
race. But nothing is uglier than the
evils which horse racing brings in its
train, owing to its constant and init

Much annoyance is caused by the free
for all system of taking sand from the
river bed. The city engineer says the
bed of the river has been lowered and
the foundations of the bridges have
been undermined by the sand diggers.
He proposes a charge Of 10 cents cubic
ward for sand. This would regulate
sand carting, and add about $26,70O per
annum to the city's revenue.

3d. o SKIN DISEASES

When the blood is pure aud healthy, the skin will be soft smooth, and
free from all bcmishcs and cruptons but when some acid humot takes
root in the circulation. It's presence is quickly manifested by some form Of
skin disease. The skin receives its necessary nourishment and strength
from the blood. When, however, this vital fluid becomes a humorladen
but by It's acid, impure nature continually iritates and inaames the delicate
tissues and fhfcs and keeps the cuuclei in a diseased and dishgured condition.
External applications cannot reach the blood, and therefore ar beneficial
only for their ability to reduce inflammation. and assist in keeping the parts
clean. TO cure any skin trouble the blood must be purified Of the hunors
that are causing the trouble. S IS. S. drives out the hunors from the blood
so that the skin, instead Of being iritated and diseased, is nourshed by a
healthy, cooling stream. s. S. S. goes down into the circulation and
remove every particle of impure matter, all acids and hunors, and restores
the blood to is normal, pure condition, thereby curing every form of skin
disease or affection. Book on skin diseases and any medical advice re e
