Grape Juice Facts

Owing to the fact that the high
grade Brands Grape Juice have been
sold at prices that were beyond the
reach Of people OF moderate means In
consequence the liberal use Of this
very meritorious product has been
very much curtailed.. Realizing this
fact we have succeeded in procuring
the agency for Fenners Grape Juice,
product that for quality and purity
has no superior on the market. This
excellent product is made from grapes
raised in the best grape producing
district in New York state and is
absolutely Pure and wholesome. We
have received a large shipment direct
from the factory and are marketing 1t
at price that will enable the public
to use it more generously.

NOURISHING FOOD

CALIFORNIA grows such large
quantities of nourishing beans
" that the people should be able to
laugh at the beef trust. No state in
the Union is as Independent of meat
price conspiracy as is ours, if the peo-
pie only would learn to take adyan-
tage of the food provided in great
abundance and variety. All kinds of
cereal and vegetable crops thrive in
California, and can be grown in inn
mense quantities.
Any citizen who owns a little bit of
ground can make himself independent
of the meat trust by growing vege-
tables and raising fowls.
There is not a better food for man
than the lima bean of California, the
production of which is protected by
an association organized for the pur-
pose of marketing the beans at a fair
price and preventing speculators and
manipulators from getting hold of the
crop and running up values.
The value of lima beans as a food
product ought to be more generally
understood. Protein is the substance
in food that keeps the body in repair.
Scientific men say fresh lean meat
contains from Is to q per cent pro-
tein. whole eggs 1875 per cent, wheat
flour from 10 to IL per cent, while beans
contain from % to 80 per cent. Prof.
Snyder in Minnesota station bulletin "A
and in Farmers bulletin 1859, United
States department of agriculture, says
healthy people digest and use in their
bodies so per cent of the dry matter in
beans. Beans at ordinary prices are
among the cheapest foods in existence
for the furnishing Of protein. and the
lima bean of California is the finest
lima bean in the world.

FEDERAL STEAMSHIP LINE

Ff HAT a goVernment-oWne steam
ship line between Pacific ports
"A and the Panama canal will be of
immense benefit to all industrial inter-
ests may be judged by the frantic eff
forts made by hogging railroad corpor-
ations to prevent their domination Of
industry from slipping away from them
The necessity for a federal steamship
line on the Pacific coast is plain. 1t is
indeed almost a self-evident PROPOSE
tion.
The industrial development of this
coast and of the western country should
not be at the mercy of any private
corporations. There's "the whole thing
in a nutshell"
The growth and prosperity of the Pa
cifc coast cannot be checked, but it
can be hindered and interfered with by
the gouging propensity of harpy cor
porations. The simplest remedy is the
establishment of a line of steamships
which will be "of the people and for
the people, and managed "by the
the people, and managed in the in
terest of the people of Los Angeles and
Southern California.

CRANES RASHNESS

ID ICHARD T. CRANE, the Chicago
n, multi-mi1lionaire who complains
~ of our modern educational sys-
tenn, saying millions spent annually
on universities, colleges and schools
are swallowed up in one of the most
gigantic swindles of the age, repre-
sents that peculiar type of human
being that mistakes accumulation for
success. This view has been con-
demned from the very beginning. In
the first Christian society that was
organized the worker for mankind was
a martyr, but he still truly '1ives
and reigns.' while the accumulation
was traitor to his cause and to man
kind and committed suicide. We
should think the force of that first
lesson, in the very primer of modern
society" would never be forgotten and
would never be lost sight of.
Crane sneers at instructors who tell
their pupils how to accomplish wealth.
bringing results and do not themselves
engage in the activities rewarded by
wealth.
He says: college professors and
teachers are prepared to give advice
on all subjects. AS $4,000 year teach
ers they tell us how to turn out $4,000
and $4,000 business men. Isn't it a
bit strange it has never occurred to
these smart college fellows to go into
business for themselves? Why draw
10, Go, +o1i
how to draw big salaries if you are
capable of drawing the big salary
yourself?"
Mr. Crane makes a mistake that is
common with men of his type. He
lays on the VICTIMS of a notorious
shortcoming of his class the blame of
that shortcoming. 1t is because of
the crude untutored and savage ideas
of men like Crane as to the value of
the services to the world of the trained
thinker, the professor, the school
teacher, the preacher. the writer, that
the greatest and by far the most use
ful work done for modern civilization,
commercial, political and social, the
work of training it, guiding it, ad-
vising it, instructing it. is miserably
underpaid. The only possible way in
which a man who is placing his brains
at the disposal of his unappreciative
fellowmen can keep his equilibrium
(for his trained brain is keenly and
constantly conscious of the insulting
Injustice with which society treats it)
i- 70 vaoar1 him, self as a phiia MT hrO-
pist, a benefactor, one who gives
something for nothing" and is glad
Providence has given him the oppor-
tunfty of being of service to his fell
lows, even although many of them
may be as thickheadedly ungrateful
and inappreciative as Richard T.
Crane, multi-millionaire of Chicago.

Cooperative Societies May
Be Result OF High Prices
(san Francisco Journal of commerce)

mai OF Commerce)
forty-first annual cooperative con-
gress, held at Newcastle on-Tyne last
June, the business done by the coop
erative societies in 1908 had risen to
$537 ,753,270. and the membership to
2,516,19 So far as cooperative trad
ing was concerned, the figures for the
year were very favorable in the face
of the national shrinkage of trade and
at time of universal depression fol-
lowing the worlds financial crisis of
19070S
The units of the whole cooperative
system in Britain are individual So
cieties, the great majority of which
confine their operations to distribu-
ton. In 1908 there were 1928 of these,
with 2,404,595 members, holding 30,037
352 shares. The trade of these retail
societies amounted to $34S, GIG, $3.50, on
which rhe profit realized was $53 .S65,.25.
There is scarcely a town, mining or
factory village in the northeastern
counties of England that does not have
its cooperative store, which. provides
the members and other purchasers
with provisions and clothing at prices
which reflect the effort to reduce to
the lowest terms the cost of produe-
tion, carriage, agency and distribution,
and allowance for fair profit to cover
working expenses and provide addi-
tional capital. The extra profit, If any,
is returned to the members of the So
cieties in proportion to their purchases.

CALIFORNIA RICHES

nULIIETIN 413 of the U. S. Geolog-
x ical Survey says there are four
classes of gypsum deposits in Cal
ifornfa, efflorescent deposits. periodic
lake deposits, interbedded deposits and
selenite or crystallized gypsum veins.
OF these all except the fourth class
may locally be of value. The use of
gypsum for wall plaster and in cement
as well as for minor purposes, such as
for stucco and fertilizer, is adding to
the demand for it and to it's value.
California has only been partially ex-
plored and its development is still at
an early stage. There is undoubtedly
in this great state, untouched, and, in
some places still inaccessible, waiting
to be outwitted by the wit of man, an
amount of natural treasure which stag
gers the imagination that tries to think
of it in mass. Wait until aerial navi-
zation becomes an exact art, and until
supplies and water can be conveyed to
pioneer parties in remote regions where
they have been transported by the air
route, and CALIFORNIA; record for riches
will be SO far surpassed that the sum
of all the treasure of the present and
past will be but a fractional part oi
the prodigious total of the wealth. that
will reward the energy, enterprise and
ingenuity of man.

POISON IN COMETS TAIL ALL
BoSH, SAYS CORRESPONDENT

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. Ill Ed
itor Herald: | should like to say a
word to your readers about the comet.
It may be that I can relieve some
timld souls of portentious fears and
enlighten some others who have looked
upon that object as more removed from
other cosmic forms than is really the
case. / believe the comet has neither
substantive tail or nucleus They are
apparitions from optical effects. The
most probable condition of the cometle
mass is that of an immense globold
lens, fluent and more or less distorted,
The tail is but the reflected light OF the
sun from the extra illuminated bodies
of the immensely of numbers that
throng the universe. Space Is no vast
vacuum, but filed with bodies or cor
puscles, perhaps of the very nature of
the comet itself The comet is a rev.
elation of cosmic constitution. As the
dust in a darkened room is revealed
by a sunbeam entering through a
crevice, so Is this cosmic dust made
evident by the diverging rays from
the brilliant focus of solar light formed
in the interior of the comet and called
the nucleus.
The so-called tail of the comet, while
appearing as II IdA-SlldJed plea1iS, IL ~
reality hollow cone. 1t necessarily
sweeps the heavens as the shadow of
a man does thev ground as he passes
around a light at night-an electric
arc light, for instance. Each must fall
away from the source of its origin.
OF all the bosh of scientific supersti-
ton nothing is more stupendously alb
surd than the various explanations of
what the comets supposed tail is, and
may do. According to some. it is a
train of meteors wheeling like troop
of trained soldiers; to others it is mat
ter repelled from the comet by the
suns influence. From Berkeley comes
the news that the substance of the
tail is cyanogen, and from another
authority we have word that there is
little or no gas in the tail. ] do not
write ex-cathedra, but am fortified by
the opinions of some astronomers be-
fore and after Newton's day.

CONCLUDES THAT TEACHINGS
AND TRUTH DO NOT AGREE

Los ANGELES, Feb. 12.-[Editor
Herald: We are taught that the
world was created in seven days, when
the truth is it never was created at all.
We are taught that plant and animal
life is subject to the will of one sd
preme almighty being. when the truth
is that the constituents of plants aud
animals have the power to assume
form under certain natural conditions.
We are taught that we cannot find
out the science of our being, when the
truth is that some doctors and scien-
lists know exactly the functions of
the brain and nervous system.
We are taught that through belief
in a certain religion we are exempt
from all physical pain and disease,
when the truth is that proper air, prop
er food, proper exercise combined with
happy surroundings keep us healthy
We are taught that spirit is some
thing entirely separate from substance,
when truth is spirit is simply matter
in action.
We are taught that thought and con-
seiousness survive after death. when
the truth is that, as thought and con-
sciousness survive after death, when

PUBLICITY

I'm SPITE of reported official state
ments to the contrary, matters of
Il police discipline do concern the
press" The press is not a busybody.
The newspaper is a public advertiser
of public information, and the pubic
is entitled to receive all information
that will help it to judge as to the
conduct of public affairs. AS soon as
n man assumes the duties of a public
Office he becomes a public servant, and
should be prepared at all times to give
an account OF his stewardship.
It is remarkable that the police
branch of the public service is the most
frequent offender in respect of with
holding from the public information to
which tile public is entitled. When
public employees are disciplined the
public should be told about it. All po
licemen, high and low, draw their sala-
ries from the public. They are not an
elective or representative body OF pub
lie officials. They are hired men. 1t is
honorable to be hired man in an hon
orable service, and no hired man who
is worth bis salt is ashamed of MS
position. But can any other brancn CT
human activity excepting the police
branch he thought of or narue1 in
which the hired man assumes the re-
sponsibility of telling his employer he
has no right to know any noro about
the conduct of his own business than
what his hired man is willing to re-
veal?
We would like to see a sense of abb
surdity and an appreciation of w1lm-
steal humor more generally developed
aud encouraged. It would save us from
many incongruities, embarrassments
and mistakes.

MAST HOLLYWOOD consolidation
FL, election win be held February 49,
= 1t is hoped by friends of Greater
Los Angeles that overconf1dence will
not be allowed to mar the success of
this latest advance in the consolida-
tion movement. East Hollywood will
be- a most desirable addition to Greater
Los Angeles. 1t will give cur progress
sive Uncle Aleek town a suburb
with excellent new streets, the spa
cious area of Griffith park, one of the
finest breathing spaces in the west (or
in the world), and adequate schools and
other equipment of modern metropoli
tan civilization.
We believe East Hollywood viii come
into the Greater Los Angeles family.
At the same time we do not think it
would be wise on the part of the
numerous citizens who share this be-
lief and are looked to for effective
demonstration if instead of demon
strating they were to take it out in
believing.
They would find faith without works
is dead; and we hope sincerely there
will be such patriotic activity in con-
nection with the East Hollywood con-
solidation election that 1t will be car
ried triumphantly.
Every movement, every measure,
every step in connection with Greater
Los Angeles is worthy of the keenest
attention of all citizens. A consolida-
tion celebration has been planned for
March 5, which will be Greater Los
Angeles day. If citizens DO their duty
on February Is the program of March
will be carried out without a hitch,
