 Councilman Y-agcr asked if il w.Is O'Neilrs opinion as q lawyer, that the city could go ahead and build a system parallel with the old one. O'Neill said thc city had a perfect right 70 do SO at any time.

TURNOVER TIME When Nature Hints About the Food

When there's no relish to any food and all that one eats doesn't seem to do any good. then is the time to make a turnover in the diet, for that Ma lures way of dropping a hint that the food isn't the kind required.
 For number of years I followed railroad work, much of it being office work of a trying nature.
 Meal times were cur busiest part of the day. Eating too much and too quickly of food such as is commonly served in hotels and restaurants, to- gether with the sedentary habits, were not long in giving me dyspepsia and stomach trouble which reduced my weight from 2O5 to 16O pounds.
 There was little relish in any food and none of it seemed to do me any good. It seemed the more I ate the thinner I got, and was always hungry before another meal, no matter how much I had eaten.
 Then I commenced a fair trial of Grape Nuts and was surprised how a small saucer of it would carry me along. strong and with satisfied appe- tite, until the next meal. with no sen SdllOnS OI UT ulS- tress as before.
 'I have been following this liet now for several months and my improve ment has been so great all the others in my family have taken up the use of Grape Nuts. with complete satisfaction and much improvement in health and brain power.
 American people undoubtedly eat hurriedly. have lots of worry. thus hindering digestion. and therefore need a food that is predigested and concen- trated for nourishment." There's a Reason

SMASH AT SHELTER.
Ore Bins Gave Way Under the Weigh
 of Rock.

Bedding, Cal, April 19.-The power sub station at the Coram shelter, be longing to the First National Copper company. was destroyed today by the collapse of the new ore bins erected recently at a cost of s250.000.
 About 1000 tons of rock crashed down on the powerhouse. destroying the power lines and telephone wires and damaging the buildings and ma chinery to the extent of $10,0O0. No one was hurt, but the accident will cause a shutdown of the shelter for several days.

THE CIRCUS ELEPHANT
DOROTHY WALSH,
2l9 Eighth Avenue, San MateO, Cal.
Age IL Years

Big Bob. the circus elephant, was
lazily eating hay when he saw hash
of light. which proved to be an oil tank
on fire.
He became frantic with fear, broke
away from his keeper and rushed
through the town. After doing consid-
erable damage and scattering fright
ened people right and left he came to
the hotel grounds. lady. who lived
near our home was sitting in swing
ing chair when the huge beast rushed
toward her. Her first impulse was to
run, but the keeper of the elephant
shouted for her to sit still. She obeyed
his order and the elephant passed by,
not paying heed to her.
From there he plunged into barber
shop, carrying the door frame with him
and emerging from the other side
through the plate glass. He crossed
the street and demolished a large shop
window. After injuring several people
he was quieted and taken back TO the
circus
Ny friend undoubtedly saved herself
from injury if not death by ebeying
the keepers order. Is it not better
that we all should obey and thus save
ourselves from trouble:

M fE have been SO interested in
reading about the schools that
w have vegetable gardens and
raise carrots, turnips and cab
bage heads that we thought We should
like to tell Of the gardens in the Ere
mont school.
We have two kinds of gardens-one
of window boxes in which we grow
vegetables and flowers. but the garden
we do the most good with is the one
full Of real live children
We have small and large, stout and
thin, and light and dark ones The
Seeds we plant are kind thoughts. kind
words and kind deeds.
Everybody in the school, principal
and teachers included. is gardener.
We find that a soil of patience and love
works wonders.
It's not so easy as raising vegetables.
but the results repay us thousand
fold.
All children are not susceptible to
kindness at first, but constant efforts
TO win them are always rewarded with
success.
We never look for faults, but try to

as much as it does the hearts of the
little ones.
Tearing up a plant by the roots
every little while TO ascertain why ii
won't grow is no more helpful than
eternally telling child his faults. A
child's nature yields to love as the
flower opens in the sunshine
We know that good girls and boys
make good women and men: so we
train them to speak kindly to and of
each other, to be charitable. forgiving
and thoughtful of each other. Life is
not burden il you do teach school.
Do not imagine a person is born with
sweet disposition-that is the result
of years of trials and tribulations-an
one is never too old to cultivate it,
We are all prone to look for the
faults in others, and when we no longer
do that, but look for the best, we will
surely find it.
Our garden has weeds in it just
like any other, but we do not let them
outrun the flowers
We never go home discouraged and

but are happy in the thought we have
done some good to some one.

the dishes on the table, ate up every
thing she could find. then went into

Betty raised up in bed and began to

While we were in Europe my
brother found little bird in the pic
ture gallery at Florence, Italy. We
took him. home and bought a cage for
him and named him Mike, and we
carried him all over Europe with us.
Everybody at the stations used to
crowd around us to see what kind of
rare bisd we had and were very
much disgusted when they found it
was only a common English sparrow
In Germany they have large porcelain
stoves that reach almost to the cell
ing and he used to fly up there and
we could, not get him down. At lunch
time he would fly down and sit on my
grandma's shoulder and be fed and
would take a bath if she held the
glass for him. Then he would fly up
on her shoulder and shake up his
feathers. While we were in Vevey
we went for walk one day and left
Mike out of his cage. The servant
left the window open and Mike flew
out and we never saw him again. We
were all very sorry to lose him and
kept his cage out on the balcony un-
til we left there, hoping he might
come back

During the time of the great civil
war a good many of our soldiers died
and a great many more would have if it
wasn't for the aid of some dogs
Perhaps you do not understand how
this is. but l Will tell you.
The nurses who were taking care of
the sick would send a dog off with a
pencil and some paper. The dog would
run about until he had found a wounded
soldier.
The soldier on seeing the pencil and
paper. would write his name.
Then the GO1 would run back from
where he was sent and the nurse would
take the paper and on seeing who's
name it bore she would send some aid
10 the dying or wounded soldier.

There by the boxes was a beautiful
little shepherd dog. My uncle had
given it TO me. His name is Tige.
One day / saw ne was gone. l hunt
ed, but could not find him. In the
evening he came marching home with
the COW Every day after that he
went with the cow.
After a while the COW he had been
brought up with died We soon got
a new COW. The first few days Tige
did not keep very good watch, but
soon he and the COW We're very good
friends. If any one chases the COW he
barks and chases them away. The
funniest thing is he will never come
home during the day unless the COW
comes to get a drink.
Sometimes the COW is in the middle
OF the track eating. If he hears the
train coming he barks and jumps up
and down in front of her. Soon she
moves and just gets off the track
when the cars go flying by. He seems
to know what would happen il she

school, A Fifth trade. age 10 kcssrs
When my father was a small boy
he lived on a big ranch There was a
funny old fashioned house, and you
went upstairs from a low side porch.
My father slept up there.
One night they were awakened by a
terrible racket on the stairs. My grand
ma was afraid to have my grandpa
go out to see what it was, so they
called my father to look.
He lit a candle, tiptoed into the hall
and peeped over. What was his sur
prise to see a little colt. He would
climb up a fewf stairs and fall down;
then try it again.
The yard gate had been left open.
also the door that went upstairs, and
somehow the little colt had got in
and couldn't get out again.
Papa felt quite like a hero when he
saw what had caused the racket and
called out to the rest of the family
not to be afraid.
The little colt grew up and was my
grandma's favorite driving horse until
a few years ago, when big windstorm
blew down q shed under which he was
standing and scared him so he ran
until he dropped dead.
