SITE CHOSEN FOR
new WARMY BUILDING
General Weston Selects Loca-
tiOn of Department Headquar-
ters Facing Fort Mason
Stone and Concrete Structure
at End of Van Ness Avenue
to Cost 100000

commander of the department of Cali

The building is to be erected at
Fort Mason Immediately in front of
the commanders present quarters and
facing the entrance to Fort Mason, at
the north end of Van Ness avenue. 1t
is to be of stone and concrete, three
stories high, and to cost 100000. The
labor will be done by the convicts at
Fort Alcatraz.
1t is the intention of the war de-
partment to make this administration
building the most complete and hand
soonest in the United States.
For the last % years the government
has had its army headquarters in
downtown buildings and paid an an
nual rental of $4,000 or $4,000
For 20 years the head offices of the
department were on the fourth floor
of the old Phelan building. After the
fire the headquarters were established
at the Preside, and later in the Quinn

In May. 1908, the department head
quarters were removed to the Chron-

ARRANGE BENEFIT
FOR ROBERTSON
Unfortunate Poet to Be Given
Testimonial at California
Club Hall

Learning that he is dangerously i'll
and in need of help, the friends of
Louis A. Robertson, the poet, have ar
ranged for a testimonial performance
TO be given for his benefit at the Cali
fornia club hall on the evening of
March 4. Robertson was long rec
ognized as one of the geniuses OF Cali
fornia, his poems, notably The Dead
Calypso" showing a depth of feeling
and a talent far above the average.
Five years ago he was stricken with
paralysis. His illness robbed him of
his gift Of song and after series OF
misfortunes he gradually began to drop
away from the public memory. A short
time ago he was found at the Hahne-
mann hospital by some of his old
friends, who Immediately went to his
assistance. The performance will have
the leading talent from the various
clubs. Among those who will take
will read from Robertsons works:
Joaquin Miller, George Sterling and
Herman Scheffauer, who will read orig
inal poems; Charles X. Field, in a
humorous skit; Haig Patigan, in some
rapid fire sketching; Mackenzie Gordon
and Miss Gladys Kieghin, a soprano.
Another feature of the entertainment
will be an illustrated travel talk by
George Wharton James. Will l..
Greenbaum is taking a prominent part
in the arrangements and mail orders
for seats can be addressed to him.

THE PNEUMONIA
SEASON
MORE DEATHS FROM PNEU.
MONA THAN FROM TU.
BERCULoSIS.
Pneumonia an Infectious Disease,
It Can Be Prevented---A
Remarkable Record.

CFrom the Des Moines Register and Leader.J
"Why has this season of the year become
known as the pneumonia season? Why dur
ing the closing week of the old year were
there more deaths in Chicago and New York
from pneumonia than tuberculosis? Why
are pneumonia and related bronchial trou-
bles beginning to take the place of tubercu-
losis as the dread scourge of city life? Simply
and solely because we are devoting too much
ingenuity and energy to dodging the fresh
and invigorating winter air that every twelve
months refrigerates our latitude.
1t is believed now that pneumonia is an
infectious disease, and that in the cities
where the death rate is growing SO rapidly
it is communicated in the heated and crowded
cars. A nickel is so small, and the cold air is
so chilling, that the American people are for
getting how to walk. The old time red that
burned the cheek of childhood does not visit
a mature face on an average of once in the
twelve months, not even the red of chilly
and pinched nose. We are getting afraid Of
the climate, and as result, the climate is
taking its revenge.
The mere habit of turning up coat collars
has killed thousands Of people, and the fur
boa has long list to its account, for no part
of the human body becomes delicate more
quickly because of superhuous covering than
the throat And yet we are multiplying
devices for turning up more coat collars. It
is not too early TO recognize that this is all
wrong, that our climate is here to stay, and
that if ne are going to live in it with COM
fort we must accommodate ourselves to it.
1t will pay to keep on good terms with the
climate
A great many have learned that pneumo-
mia may be avoided by taking Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy whenever they have a
cold. Among the tens of thousands who
have used this remedy for colds and grip
during the epidemics of the past few years,
we have yet to learn of a single one having
had pneumonia, which should certainly con-
vince the most skeptical of the value of that
preparation It's remarkable cures of colds
have made it staple article of trade and
commerce throughout the United States and
in many foreign countries.

nouncing my intention to give cup for
the best time between Oakland and
San Francisco by way of San Jose my
attention has been called to the fact
that the course as laid out by me will
require the exceeding of the speed
limit through the cities, which might
create some antagonistic feeling in the
public against automobiles.
MY aim is to lend every. assistance
motor car and at the same time to
avoid any conflict with the authorities.
1 have therefore decided that the start
will be from Fruitvale and twenty
Sheehan's on the boulevard, San Fran
cisco. This will give any driver
good 10 mile stretch along the boule-
ward in which to make final dash for
speed and avoid breaking the law.
II do not insist upon previous notice
of intention to start. When ready con-
testants will please call my office by
phone or otherwise, at which time the
driver will be supplied with score
card and some one with authority will
be sent to time the start and finish 1t
