EIfOf Defends book Shelf.

Former President Eliot of Harvard
has replied again to the numerous crit
icisms of his five-foot book shelf be-
cause it omitted the Bible and Shake
speare. He now says that he left out
the Bible because many things in II
are antiquated happenings OF a bygone
day, and that 1t is question whether
either the Bible or Shakespeare should
take the place of many other good
books. He denies that he has CONSENT

When IIuying Is Done


There's a smile OF relief and spirit
OF fun
Comes over the farmer when haying
Is done:
With his haylofts all swelling with
sweet-scented hay
His smile is as CHEEKY as sunshine in
May.
The summers half over, and out In
the field
He sees the approach OF a bountiful
yield;
AS tall as his hat is the golden topped
corn,
Which waves its long arms In the
breeze Of the morn,
AS fair and as fragrant as gardens Of
old
yellow as gold.
With his barn full Of hay and his bed
ding stacked high.
A smile on his face and a gleam in
his eye:
The cattle provided with winter re-
past,
While apples and pumpkins are ripen-
ipg fast.
There's a smile Of relief and a spirit
of fun
Comes over the farmer when haying Is
done;
The turnips are growing. the melons
are prime,
The harvest ching, his boun-
teous time.
All Lucky the farmer who wanders
afield
And sees the approach Of beautiful
yield!

Milk Contamination.

There are hundred and one places
where milk can be contaminated from
the time 1t Is drawn from the udder
till 1t reaches the table in the form OF
sweet milk, cream or butter. First, a
great deal of bacteria, impurities and
disease germs get into the milk at the
barn or lot in which the cows are
kept. Second, great many more OF
these owe their existence in milk to
the attendant and the place in which
the milk Is kept. The moment the
COW shows signs Of being Ill, or when
even a slight eruption is noticeable, a
person may contract disease by partak'
ing of her milk. Impure water Is an.
other way in which milk is contami.
mated. If the COW Is compelled to
drink out of a mud hole, filled with
disease germs, she cannot help but
drink a large number Of those germs
into her system, some Of them being
sure to reach her milk. Milking the
COW into an open pail when the barn
IS filled with dust, and from which
there hangs an untold number of dirty
cobwebs, or milking her in an offens
lively smelling lot, where the filth is
ankle deep, or milking a COW whose
udder, fianks and legs are covered with
dirt and filth-in such cases it Is i'm
possible to avoid contamination of the
milk. 1t is believed that more disease
germs are given the human family
through milk than are given in any
other agency; and we also believe that
less attention is paid to the care OF
milk than to any other food consumed
upon the table.

Treating Horse COrns.

Or. A. A. Holcombe, inspector OF tho
United States bureau Of animal hus-
bandry, says Of treating horse corns:
"As In all other troubles, the cause
must be discovered II possible and re-
moved, In a great majority of cases
the shoeing will be at fault. For a
sound foot, perfectly formed, fiat
shoe with heels less thick than the toe
and which rests evenly on the wall
proper Is the best. In fiat feet 1t Is
often necessary to concave the feet as
much as possible on the upper surface
so that the sole may not be pressed
upon. If the heels are very low the
heels Of the shoe may be made much
thicker If the foot Is very broad
and the wall light toward the heels

may aid to prevent excessive tension
upon the soft tissues when the foot
receives the weight of the body. A
piece OF leather placed between the
foot and shoe serves largely to destroy
concussion, and It's use Is absolutely
necessary on some animals to enable
them to work. Among the preventive

COMMITTEE TO MEET FOR
CONSOLIDATION CONFERENCE

The Los Angeles and San Pedro con-
solidation committees will meet for con-
ference on the question of united har-
Dor movement Tuesday evening at
o'clock in the directors room of the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce. AS the
meeting is on the invitation of the Los
Angeles committee its chairman, Stod-
dard Jess, will preside.
This promises to be the first of rap
idly occurring series of conferences
among the bodies of Los Angeles, San
Pedro and Wilmington, and meetings
will follow quickly after next Tuesday
discussion. Secretary A. p. Fleming of
the Los Angeles consolidation commit
tee yesterday sent letters to the San
Pedro board of trustees, Wilmington
board of trustees, San Pedro chamber
of commerce, San Pedro board of trade
and Wilmington chamber of commerce,
asking for conferences with the Los An
geles consolidation committee. Each
body is requested to fix date as soon
after April q as may be convenient,
and it is Mr.. Fleming's hope that the
meetings may he arranged in quick
succession, IN order to gather a consen-
sus of opinion chat will aid in the COM
mittee reports.
The consolidation law will become
effective May il, and the work laid out
up to that time through conferences
and other meetings will take a great
deal of time, but the members of the
Los Angeles consolidation committee
realize this is necessary for a compre-
hensive report. and they are unanimous
in promising Chairman Jess all the time
required

IMPROVEMENT DISCUSSION
INVOLVES NEW QUESTIONS

The discussion over the immediate
improvement of the outer harbor as
against the east and west basins Is
likely to involve questions not hereto
fore brought up, according to views
taken by members of the consolidation
committees. The conference meetings
of the committees promise to bring out
o. thorough discussion of the question
in particular. and this undoubtedly Will
be one of the first matters on which
a general decision will be reached.
"The question of the Improvement Of
the harbor has set me thinking" said
a prominent members of the Los An
geies consolidation committee yester-
day "It brings up a number of new
ideas One of these is why should the
tidelands question be confined to the
outer harbor? I believe our har-
Dor commission or some other body
having the power ought to take up, for
instance, the question of the title of
the Pacific Wharf & Storage company
as a case in point.
"That company is engaged in filing
a valuable area along the channel for
private control, in the face of the con-
stitutional provision that no grant shall
be made of this kind within two miles
of an Incorporated city. The Pacific
Wharf & Storage company has lease
from Long Beach, but legally l believe
such a lease is a grant. Here is a priv
ilege right at the mouth of the harbor,
where public docks should be if they are
anywhere.
ut is a question whether under the
constitution of 1879 a work of this kind
can be undertaken except by and for
the public. A good time to decide these
matters Is while consolidation is under
way, and there is an active interest in
all phases of the harbor. When devel-
opment actually begins, let us go as
fast as possible for the public good

Puritds Distilled
Water in Line with
Great Reform
Absolutely Pure Water One OF the
Greatest Aids to Health

The physician in touch with the
times these days has to do more than
dispense drugs, with directions for US
ing. Everywhere he breaches, insists
on, and actually secures for his pa
tient fresh air, pure food, pure water
clearly care, wholesome surroundings
1t is the preventive method which is
responsible for the surely decreasing
death rate all over the world from
such diseases as smallpox, typhold'
diphtheria, etc.
Impure water is a particularly in
sidous breeder of disease. Often it
looks clear, large quantities are taken
into the system, and in case the "clear
water" is impure, with the system at
a lowered resisting power, the conse-
quences are plain to see.
Now, even were the city water here
free of Vegetable impurity Gas you
fondly believe it is when you use a
flter) it contains much mineral mat
ter, which, impossible for the system
to absorb, serves to clog the arteries
and bring on rheumatism, kidney and
liver troubles.

all mineral impurity from water. The

TlDELANDS SUITS
DECISION READY
WILL CLEAR UP DISPUTED
HARB0R QUESTIONS
AUTHORITY OF THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL QUESTIONED
Casa Nav Narrow Down to a Fight
over Mormon Island Involved
In the Litiga-
ton

ATTORNEYS representing the Los An
peles harbor commission and the Ban
ming and other interests involved were
notified Yesterday by Judge waiter
RordWell that a decision will be given
In the tidelands suits at 10 O'CLOCK TINS
morning. This decision propaoly WIN
have the effect of clearing away us
puted points and placing the case
suuarely on its merits.
The contentious set up by the de-
PENDANTS are, in brief, that there Is a
lack of authority on the part OF tne
attorney general to institute the SUITS
that the plaintiffs do not give sum
GENTLY definite description OF the lands
involved, and that the statute OF nmlta-
ton will lie. A. p. Fleming and An
derson & Anderson, attorneys for the
harbor commission, assert that the
authority of the attorney general 10
Intervene is established in the oakland
cases. that the statute of limitations is
settled in the case of the People VS..
Koerber, which involved tidelands at
San Diego, and in a number of ways is
on all tours with the present suits.
They assert that if the defendants have
a description sufficient to sell the lands
thew are sufficiently described in the
tidelands suits.
The stand taken so far by the defend
ants is mainly one of creating delay,
and this argument frequently has been
used as against consolidation at San
Pedro and Wilmington. Whether they
will use any other tactics or present
any arguments not foreseen by the har-
Dor commission will likely develop fol-
lowing the decision to be given today
by Judge Bordwell.
If, as the attorneys for the harbor
commission are confident, his decision
favors the contention that the public
controls the tidelands of Wilmington
bay, in the opinion of a number of per-
sons who have followed harbor mat
ters closely the suits will narrow down
to a fight over Mormon island, which
is involved in the litigation.
