Nor On a HaIf-Dime, Either.

Simon Hardcastle believed with sim
cere faith that any wife who had, or
asked, more than a quarter of a year
for her W amusement or enjoyment
was a being toe horrible to contem-
plate. He came from the village store
for dinner and told what he had
heard.
Miranda, would you believe that
the Lords prayer could be engraved
in a space no larger than a dime?"
well yes, Simon" she hazared, "ff
a dime is as large in the engraver's
eye as it is in yours, l should think
that he would have no difficulty at
all."-The Housekeeper.

New York.-The beef trust directors,
with the exception of one, were indicted
for conspiracy by the grand jury OF
Hudson county, sitting in Jersey. City.
The incident is not based upon any new
antitrust law or upon any old one

the old common law of conspiracy. This
law has been upheld by the highest court
Of the State and is epitomized in the
expression that sit is a crime to do a

6fd an Ohio She tells her own
story:
81 did not believe coffee caused my
trouble, and frequently said l liked
it so well | would not, and could not
quit drinking it, but l was a miserable
sufferer from heart trouble and nerv-
Gus prostration for four years.
Il was scarcely able to be around,
had no energy and did not care for any
thing. Was emaciated and had a con-
slant pain around my heart until l
thought / could not endure it. For
months | never went to bed excepting
to get up in the morning. | felt as
though l was liable to die any time.
Frequently / had nervous chills and
the leas. excitement would drive sleep
away, and any little noise would upset
me terri ply. l was gradually getting
worse until finally one time it came
over me and l asked myself what's the
use of being sick all the time and
buying medicine so that / could in
dulge myself in coffee?
$50 l thought I would see if I could
quit drinking coffee and got some
Postum to help me quit. l made it
strictly according to directions and I
want to tell you, that change was the
greatest step in my life. 1t was easy
to quit coffee because l had the Postum
which l now like better than the old
coffee.
"One by one the old troubles left,
until now l am in splendid health,
nerves steady, heart all right and the
pain all gone. Never have any more
chills, don't take any medicine,
can do all my homework, and have
done a great deal beside"

REALTY DEALERS VISIT
/. GROUND FOR NEW TOWN
Gigantic Enterprise Planned by
Los Angeles Investment
Co. Southwest of City

Nearly forty heads of departments,
! directors and officers Of the Los Angeles
Investment company and a number of
newspapermen inspected the company's
1700-acre hill tract, lying southwest of
the city. The trip was made in auto
mobiles yesterday morning. The party
left the city at 8 and returned for dim
ner. The members were taken from
end to end Of the big tract, and the
final plans for it's development into a
$40, 100000 city were discussed.
The project is undoubtedly the big
gest development enterprise ever
launched in the west. The tract will
be subdivided into 5000 lots, on which
about 1000 homes will be built, none of
them costing less than $4,000. The
streets will follow the contour Of the
hills and will vary in width from sixty
to 200 feet. They will be built of de-
composed granite and oiled.
Trees, shrubs and plants will be set
in at once, the initial order being for
650,000 trees. There will be forty acres
of sunken gardens and parks, twenty
acres of Fairgrounds, as well as scores
of smaller parks. AS in the company
College tract, there will be no vacant
lots, but all will be put in lawn. Pub
lie buildings will include schools,
churches, model stores, offices, post
office, pavilion, observation hall, as
sembly hall and central business Sec
ton.
The company's new mills will be near
enough to this tract to operate econ
omically. Street work is to- be started
at any early date.
The new project of this building com
pany is another evidence of Los Angeles
growth and the confidence which firms
have in it's future. All told, the project
will involve an outlay of between $4O
000, 900 and $4,000 900, most of which is
being furnished by people in ordinary
circumstances.
Drawings of the company's new IA
story office building at Broadway and
Eighth will be given to the public in
side Of week. Building will COM
mence in the spring. The exterior will
probably be cream tile and terra Gotta
and the interior, lobby, etc, of marble
and bronze.
The party included the following
men: Charles A Elder president
Charles Cassatt Davis, vice president;
w. d. Decide, secretary; George M
Derby, treasurer; II. D. Rodgers, pur-
chasing agent; A. P. Thomson and H
