REMEDIAL VALUE OF
COLD WATER URGED
Beneficial in Many Cases of Inn
paired Health

Cold water applied externally is a
matchless tonic. Like other remedial
agents. it is not adapted to every case.
There are conditions of health as well
as disease when a cold bath might be
fatal in effect Peculiarites of temper
ament and disposition and individual
susceptibilities must be considered in
water cures. Generally it is whole
some habit to acquire, and one that is
rarely carried to excess.
cold bath is most beneficial taken
when the system is relaxed by indo-
lence. sleeplessness or mental unrest.
During convalescence its cautious use
is productive of the happiest results.
A cold shock from a shower of water
is often beneficial for constipation.
while in catarrhal and liver troubles
cold water is an essential in the treat
ment. OF course, attention to details
is of the greatest Importance. Done in
five minutes in a comfortable tempera-
ture and the whole body rubbed or
brushed into a glow of warmth. the de-
sired results should be obtained.
whereas delay. negligence in making
the toilet. and ignorant exposure to
chill will make the bath hurtful In

Republicans Rally To Seat
Crocker In Mayor S Chair
Second Week of Municipal Campaign Sees Public Taking
Active Interest In the Mayoralty Battle
By GEORGE A. VAN SMITH

The second week of the municipal
campaign opened upon a situation as
unlike that which ushered in the pre-
cediDg week as day is unlike night.
1t opened upon situation in which
the public was taking an active and
an intensely interested part. A week
ago yesterday the campaign of 1909
was a politicians affair. 1t was the
peoples campaign yesterday.
The public was all at sea October /.
The big republican majority. which
has come to recognize its responsibility
for San Francisco's government, was
almost on the verge of panic. The
seeming inactivity of the republican
campaign managers served only to add
to the fears of republicans generally.
Torn by inspired stories of the seces-
sion of clean, honest republicans, and
with more than a suspicion that the
knife was being swung under the di-
rection of some of the Herrin leute-
nants, hundreds of republicans and
democrats, too, for that matter, were
cropping in that political blackness most
charitably described as undecided"
The democratic campaign manage

comparatively little to lose, counted
confidently upon a repetition of the
somersault turned by the republicans
in 1907. They relied, and still rely
upon the theory that the big repub-
lican vote which will probably line up
behind a majority of the incumbent
supervisors, will substitute for its own
the democratic idea of nonpartisanship,
which simplified means vote the dem
CT, icr1,f
MCCARTHY Is HOPEFUL
P. H. Mccarthy and his campaign
managers, with everything to gain and
absolutely nothing to lose, could see
nothing but victory of the landslide
variety ahead of them. Their optimism
was by no means illogical They
counted on a slump of the independent
republicans to Leland. They had an ap-
parently nmitless campaign fund, the
active support of some of the Herrin
machine lieutenants and the passive
support of more of the same kind of
alleged republicans. They knew ac-
port they had and they knew that if
the expected independent republican
slump to Leland materialized, they
could not help winning
The public generally, and more par
ticularly the rank and file of the re-
pQDtlCdn party udQ ldhen
of the situation upon which were
founded the politicians theories, before
the first week of the campaign was at
an end. There was in evidence at the
end of the week that intense public
iaterest which is usually aroused with
difficulty. but which aroused, plays
havoc with theories.
The fears of the republicans were
not allayed or dissolved. They became
the incentive for intelligent action
The doubts of many republicans were
removed by the reputation of the in
spired reports that independent repub-
lican leaders were hocking to the
democratic standard. The big. hon
est rank and file of the republican par
ty saw the independent republican
leaders working Loyalty for the cleo
tion of the republican candidate who
had won his nomination in a fair, open
fight al the direct primary polls. With
those leaders the rank and file began

WILL RESTORE HOUSE
OF THF SEVEN GABLES
Historic Structure at Salem to
Be Completely Rebuilt

Mechanics who have been making
changes in the historic house of the
seven gables, at the foot of Turner
street, Salem, have found indisputable
proof that the building was originally
a house of seven gables and the addi-
tional four gables are to be restored
in the remodeling. The old mortises
have been found in the timbers, says
the Boston Transcript.
1t has been found that the house
originally had an overhanging second
story, which at some time was walled
up, leaving the old wall with IT'S mar
row clapboarding still In place. This
will also be restored. A large addi-
tion will be built on the northerly side
to fit the house for settlement work.
Mrs. Emmerton. who is promoting this
undertaking, has also purchased the
estate adjoining on the north. Alto
gether about s65o0 is being expended
in the remodeling.

to appreciate the consequences OF
split on the head of their ticket.
ELECTED DEMOCRATIC TICKET
Quite independently of their fear of
making the election of Mccarthy prob
able rather than possible, another sem
timent not altogether happy, but born
of experience, is behind the independ-
ent republicans vigorous support of the
republican candidate for mayor. lnde-
pendent republicans, fearful of the con-
sequences of the election of Mccarthy
and rallying in good faith to the 'citi-
zenship above partisanship" standard.
elected the democratic ticket two years
ago. That ticket was call nonpartisan
and its nonpartisan character was es-
tablished by the presence of a few re-
publicans nominated to the nonpatron-
age places.
Machine republicans voted against
the republican nominee because he had
crushed the machine at the primaries.
Independent republicans who had fol-
lowed Ryan through the primary cam
paign voted against him to defeat Nc
Carthy and because they believed they
were voting for government that
could not be used against them by the
Herrin machine. They defeated Nc
Carthy. They elected a board of super
visors above the breath of suspicion
and which has given them eXtraordi-
nary service-intelligent honest, eff
cient. They also got something they
did not bargain for and which they
vigorously resent.
They got a sheriff whose Office and
staff was used against them the first
time they clashed with the reha BILL
tated forces of the Herrin republican
machine, and the second time, too.
They got an administration of police
affairs which resulted in the police de-
partment being used against them in
their fight for free republican party.
WORKS BOARDS OPPOSITION
They got Michael Casey, president
and temporary dictator of the board of
public works, and through him they
were subjected to the organized opposi-
tion of the board of works employees,
when they went to the polls to keep San
Francisco out of the clutches of the
Herrin machinists. They voted for non
partisanship and for San Francisco
They got good government and a brand
of republican partisanship from demo-
Gratis and union labor officials worse
than the Herrinism which went abroad
plainly labeled
That there are several thousand anti
machine republicans in San Francisco
who bear fresh the scars of that kind
of nonpartisanship has been plainly
demonstrated since the active campaign
began a week ago. The fall primary
fight of 1908 is an experience too recent
to serve as a good argument for repub-
lican subscription to more of the 1907
brand of nonpartisanship.
Reputation of the reports of their
desertion by prominent anti-machine
republicans has furnished more food for
thought, for the rank and file reuhlf-
cans. The souphouse and wide open
town" war cries emitted by Mccarthy:
the thousands of dollars exhibited bv
him in the shape of enormous electrical
signs, transparency and billboard ad-
vertising are also being considered by
republicans, many of whom, apathetic
or undecided a week ago, are enthusi-
astically and aggressively for Crocker

INDUSTRIAL PEACE,
MCCARTHY SPLEDGE
Prosperity Is Promised by Union
Labor Nominee in Event of
His Election

P. H. Mccarthy and Charles M. Flick
ert. union labor candidates for mayor
and district attorney, respectively, ad-
dressed four district meetings last
night. Mccarthy promised his hearers
industrial peace and general prosper
ity in the event of his election, while
Fickert took occasion to deny charges
which he said were being "manufac-
tured and circulated by his opponents
and he reiterated his statement that
his election was not being urged by
certain wealthy men under indictment.
The four meetings were held under
the auspices of the county committee of
the labor party. Mccarthy spoke hrst
at Eighteenth and Castro streets and
from there he went to the headquarters
of the building material teamsters in
Folsom street at Fourth, where he ad-
dressed some 200 voters. From Fol-
som street he was whisked in his auto
mobile to Texas and Mariposa streets
and a speech at Veterans hall in Du-
boce avenue concluded his platform
activities for the night.

same principles for which he had been
standing for 20 years and that his de-
sire was to benefit the workingman
and put the government of the city
in the hands of the people. He re-
minded his hearers that he predicted
hard times If the people failed to elect
him two years ago, and broadly inti-
mated that the city was suffering be-
cause of the failure of the voters to
make him mayor at the last election.
He criticised the workings of the
various departments of the city gov
ernment and referred to the fact that
police officers were obliged to spend
some time changing their clothes when
reporting on and off duty. All of his
speeches concluded with a promise of
a return" of prosperity and confidence
and the cessation of the strife and tur-
moil which he declared was injuring
the city.
FICkERT MAKES ADDRESS
Fickert'S talks were directed chiefly
