TO REPLACE NEGROES.
A Special Train of White Mattresses
Reach Atlantic City.

Atlantic City, N. Y, Jan. 27.-The ar
rival here yesterday of special train
from Boston bearing $50 mattresses to
replace the negro walters at a local
hotel has spread CONSERVATION among
the darkies. 1t is predicted that sew
eral of the hotels will import young
white women and that practically all
the negro walters will soon be thrown
out of employment. Insignificant
though the change in walters may APP
pear, an exodus of negroes would
mean a marked change in the political
complexion of Atlantic City, for the
negroes have long held the balance of
political power in the city. Republi-
can machine leaders are not in favor of
the new move.

New York, Jan. 27.-Dr. Harry
Pratt Judson, president of the Chi

evening last last night at a dinner
given by the Eastern Association of
the Alumni of Chicago university.
Mr.. Judson spoke principally of the

Dr.. John W. Coulter, professor Of
botany, was the lion of the evening
in that he. with his wife and two
daughters were on the steamship Re

He related his experience and told

been transferred to the Florida, am

On the whole, said the speaker, the
best spirit prevailed, however. and
he was struck by the generosity and
bravery which prevailed on all hands.

CITIZENS OBJECT TO
NEW LIVESTOCK LAW
PASADENANS TO DEMAND RE-
PEAL OF ORDINANCE
Measure Recently Enacted Prescrlhes
Limits Within Which Chickens
and Cows Can Be Kept and
Causes Opposition
Especial to The Herald.l

PASADENA, Sept. 26.-It begins TO
look as though the city councll-or
those members who passed the anu
chicken ordinance-must race unlteu
opposition from hundreds OF residents
of this city who have been wont IN the
past to go out in the back yard and
gather fresh eggs for their breakfast
The drastic ordinance prescribing the
limits within which chickens and COWS
can be kept, the number, the relegatlon
of the rooster to the tall timbers ana
numerous other provisions seems TO
have aroused an adverse opinion from
citizens who are preparing TO move on
the city council in a body and demand
the repeal Of the law.
Mrs. Elizabeth Grlnnell, known to all
Pasadena as a lover of birds, worker
in humane affairs and woman who
has gained a reputation through dis
posing of the orphan children left with
the Humane society of this city, is one
of the most outspoken regarding the
ordinance.
ut is a fact" she says, that to the
family which works and strives TO
save a little the keeping of few
chickens and sometimes a COW means
half the living with a few luxuries not
found at the hotels and richer homes.
Cows sometimes moo and good laying
hens do caclxle. Trolleys make noise
and so do wagons rafting over pave

Cow Makes Pretty Picture
"a we'll iroomed Jersey on the front
lawn is as pretty a picture as any
woman on the street with a purple
dress, orange coat and a peach basket
hat; almost as pretty a picture as
man I saw yesterday with a bottle of
peach brandy sticking out of his
pocket Cfor a cold) and a scent cigar
in his lips. That is the sort of man,
suspect. though 1 didn't ask him, who
wouldn't keep a cow for his children,
mot if he lived on a ten-acre ranch
mo less a person." Mrs. Grinnell as
serted, than the first woman in the
land, the wife of our president, is re-
ported to have handsome Jersey COW
picketed on the front lawn of the
White House. And nobody in WASH
ington, possibly not in Pasadena, would
think of proposing a national ordinance
to prevent it. Possibly her COW moos

"I had a neighbor once" continued
Mrs. Grinnell, "who declared that if he
were ON the council he would make an

Merchants Association Decides to
Keep Up Fight Against Tariff
Which Is Declared Unfair
to San Bernardino
Especial to The HeraId.l


SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 26.-In-
dications now point to the maintenance
of a permanent freight rates commit
tee by the Merchants association OF
this city. Last week a committee from
this organization protested to the safe
railway commission in rega- d to a num-
ber of existing rates which make 1t
impossible for local merchants to COM
pete with Los Angeles dealers, not
only in the business of this city, but
in the large mining district of the des-
ert, to continue the fight against dis
elimination it is likely permanent
committee will be placed in charge OF
the matter.
George M Cooley, the chairman of
the committee. and one of the largest
shippers in the city, has announced he
will issue a call for meeting within a
few days to take up the wider phases
of the rate matter.
From the territory within radius OF
thirty miles about San Bernardino an
nually $4,000 carloads of citrus and
other high-class freight are shipped to
eastern markets, an amount far in eX-
cess of what is developed at Los An
geles or any other terminal point in
Southern California. Although provid-
ing this amount of freight, the cars are
returned loaded and are not delivered
at any point within this radius at the
same rate which Los Angeles, sixty
miles farther west, enjoys
This sentiment among merchants and
shippers of the San Bernardino valley
is now such that a contest can be the
only result, and it promises to be one
which, before settled, will involve the
entire territory affected by the tariff.

LONG BEACH, Sept. 26.-A serious
case of tetanus is being treated at the
Seaside hospital in this city and, al
though the chances are scarcely one in
a hundred for recovery in such case,
the improvement of the patient today
has given the attending physician and
nurses some hope. The victim is How

Compton.
The lads jaws are set and he has
had numerous convulsions. He is be-
ing treated with ante-tetanus serum
DR.. ]. W. Wood is in charge of the
case.
The boy ran a long silver of wood
into one of his feet, almost between
two toes several days ago. Yesterday
he had several convulsions and his
mother, in terror, hastily brought him
to this city.
DR.. Wood removed the splinter from
the punctured foot. BY that time the

that it would be serious. From a med

More Than Justified

If all work and no play did no more
than make jack dull boy, that alone
would be ample justification. For un-
less Jack is so dull that his women
will be accounted brilliant by com
parison with him. the family's posi-
tion in society is apt to suffer.
But when you add to this that all
work and no play is what makes Jack
one of the fat boys-that is, so
wealthy that the family can have a
box at the opera and house at New
port-then it is no longer any wonder
that industry is our watchword and

FLETcHERlZlNG OF FOOD is
POPULAR WITH PASADENANS

PASADENA, Sept. 26-Thls city,
ever ready to adopt new ideas or be
leader in new thought movements, has
taken kindly to "Fletcherizing," or
chewing food until there isn't a chew
left in the morsel. Those who have
taken up the proposition claim for it
many advantages, not the least of
which is that it is the cheapest of the
new ideas that has ever been under
taken. There isn't a book to buy or
an instrument to manipulate. 1t isn't
necessary to dig down into the purse
for a single nickel. All that you have
to do is chew, not tobacco, to be sure,
but wholesome food.
In a nutshell, the idea is to keep the
jaws moving until the food is so
thoroughly masticated that there isn't
anything left to chew. And the bene-
fits? 1t makes the stout lean, the
skinny fat, the dyspeptic pleasant, the
glutton moderate-it removes the
wrinkles from the aged and puts roses
into the cheeks of the young. 1t ac-
complishes everything a the nominal
fee of-nothing!
If you take your best girl to dinner
and she refuses to talk and insists on
chewing, you know that she has got
the habit. She's a genuine Fletcher
jzer, and If you press her very hard to
give the yell she will shout, between
bites,
Shut your eyes
And Fletcherize,
Then you'll win
The chewing przei
And now it's the fad. Dinners of
three or four courses can by the
Fletcher method be strung out to a
matter of hours, and a dinner that
boasts of ten courses must start in at
5 o'clock and might possibly be fin
ished ere the sun peeks over the noun
tains in the morning-if all the chew
ers have good teeth and do not drop of
exhaustion.
But the fad has come, and those who
are trying it out claim that it is no
Joking matter. 1t accomplishes results,
and especially is this so with the obese
and the dyspeptic. Leave it to Pasa-
dena to carry out the fad.
