Another Wonderful Discovery

Another Wonderful Discovery.
Electricity, telephones, airships
and all the wonderful inventions
of this scientific age seemed i'm
possible a few years ago. But
it seems there is nothing so inn
possible but what some scientist
will discover the means of ac-
cOmplishment. Prof. Emerson
has now discovered a preparation
which viii really grow hair.
Iowa people are amazed and as
founded by Emerson's new dis
covery for the hair. Emerson
said that one bottle of his new
discovery would grow a full
head Of hair to its natural color.
The people did not believe him.
1t was too much to expect and
too good to be true. They had
tried all the highly advertised
hair restorers and had always
been disappointed and they could
not believe one bottle would
really grow n full head of hair.
But now comes the most start
ling part of all-for Emerson
proved it--yes, absolutely proved
it. What do you think he did,
lie made the bold and remarkable
statement that he would give five
dollars to any person who used
one bottle of his new discovery
and failed to secure a new and
satisfactory growth of hair. The
people were astounded by the
unheard of offer, but they knew
that Emerson was financially re-
sponsible and would do as he
agreed if it cost him his fortune.
Thousands bought bottles Of his
new discovery, though most of
them had little faith and expect
ed to be paid five dollars for us
ing the bottle Of new discovery.
Out of the first thousand bottles
! sold only seven claimed they were
not entirely satisfied, and they
Immediately received the five
dollars without question. The
rest of them we're overjoyed to
find that Emerson's new Discov-
cry hsd really promoted a new
and healthy growth of hair. What
is this remarkable new discovery :
Emerson won't tell, and chemists
have tried to analyze it and have
failed to find out what it is. EN-
erson asks us to publish this same
offer to the readers of this paper.
He states that with every bottle
of his new discovery, the price OF
which is ST., he viii send a
written agreement to pay You
five dollars if you are not en-.
tirely satisfied with the result
which is invariably a new head
of healthy, vigorous hair. The
new discovery is not sticky, oily

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE
The bounding growth Of the city OF
Los Angeles in population at the rate
of more than 211 per cent In ten years
serves notice upon those who look after
the transportation facilities OF tne CITY
that they must be up and hustle as
never before, and that Is just what
Mr.. Huntington and his associates III
charge of the Los Angeles railway sys-
tenn are doing. No man in this com
rnunitv can read more accurately the
signs Of the times than can Mr.. Hunt
ington.
His wonderful foresight in the build
ing of the interurban system, the con-
troi of which he surrendered to the
Hartman interests some months ago.
proved him to be a man of reliable
Judgment as well as a man of cour-
age in the investment of many millions
of dollars in the extension of the far
reaching lines which speedily convey
patrons to any part of the county. and
also into other counties, all feeders for
the surface lines in Los Angeles.
Mr.. Huntington, at his own motion,
having been relieved of the manage
ment of the interurban lines, now de-
votes his entire time to the city car
lines.
Like other f1nanciers and men who do
things in Los Angeles. Mr.. Huntington
believes and knows that in the near
future, some say not later than 1920.
Los Angeles will have population of
1 000, 900 people. Even now the cars at
certain hours of the day and evening
are crowded to overflowing, and often
it occurs that patrons have to stand up
many blocks. and in some instances
miles, before they can secure a seat.
Los Angeles people have in large meas
ure elected to live far out in the open,
where they can own and cultivate back
lots or acreage, and get elbow room. A
potent factor in bringing the outlying
acreage, now we'll within the city limits,
into the market for home sites has been
the business management of Los An
geles Railway company. No longer
can it be said that IL man of a family
cannot get TO and from his business
conveniently. In all directions, from
the hill section to the city limits and
beyond have the steel rails of the sur
face system been extended, and for a
nickel one may ride for miles and miles
to his home and the quiet of the coun-
try and still be in the city.
About a year ago the division barns
of the railway system were completed,
one in Eagle Rock valley, one in the
south end, and others at other points
at terminals, and from these barns in
the early morning of each day the cars
and crews start out meeting in the
business district, making it easy for
the workingman, clerk or shop girl to

FAMOUS ELECTRIC SYSTEM
1t is appropriate in this special ref
ercnce to the lines of the Los Angeles
Railway company. Of which Mr.. Hunt
ington is president, to state that the
Worldwide ycnoHn of Los Angeles,
fitting tribute to the intelligence and
Industry of her citizens has resulted
not merely because of a superb location

value of and solicitude in the deycl-
opment of public utilities The improve

sttion of light and water facilities, the
construction of municipal buildings-all
these have occupied the minds and en-
gagged the earnest efforts of the resi-
dents for u number of years.
Aligned with Improvements of this
character is the electric railway sys-

the only entrance is in the rear of the
last truck. making a fall under the
wheels impossible.
On the new type of car the motor
man gives undivided attention to the
operation of his car and does not have
to pay attention to passengers trying
to board his end of the car.
The conductor maintains his position
at the rear END of the car continuously,
and is in a position to watch the in
gress and egress of passengers at all
times. There is no need of leaving his
post, either to pick up fares or to
throw switches, for the fares are taken
up at the time the passenger boards the
ear and all switches are governed au-
tomatically from the motorman's con-
troler box.
The safety of passengers is cared for
in dozen other ways, of which the
travelling public knows nothing.
Up on the seventh floor of the Pa
citic Electric building is the dispatch
ers room, where night and day cool
headed men, with telephone head
pieces glued to their ears, keep their
fingers on the pulse of the traffic of
the entire system.
Scattered over the city are dozens of
inspectors both in and out of uniform,
looking into the thousand and one
questions that make for quick, safe
service
If, for instance. the power is weak
on a Crown Hill car during the rush
hours, the indicators in the substations
point out this fact, and more current Is
thrown into the line.

With the completion of the Owens

of these big plants which will be pro-
vided with cheap power from the aque-
duct tens of thousands of newcomers
will flock to our city. OF necessity
and the crowds will continue to grow
from year to year.
1t is up to Mr.. Huntington to get
busy for the extension of the city lines
on new streets, and not only that, but
more cars must be provided to relieve
the congested condition.
1t is the chief aim and purpose of
the Los Angeles railway management
to meet every condition promptly. 1t is
gratifying to know that Mr.. Hunting
ton in person is at the head of the city
railway lines He has always taken
personal pride in providing the best Of
results for the public in all of his en-
terprises, and however rapidly Los An

manufacturing enterprises, he will not
fall to give the Angel City the best
system that his genius and the capital
he controls will supply.
