Donaf1ue Settles Disposition of
Money Collected in 0akland's
Annexed Sections

OAKLAND. Feb "a tangle that
resulted from the recent annexation to
Oakland of many suburban districts

ion rendered. by District Attorney

ion was prepared by Deputy District
Attorney Leon Clark.

were deposited with the county treas
urer. who kept them pending legal de-
termination OF where they should go.
City Treasurer Meese made a demand
for them To hasten the matter to deci-
sion.
The opinion affects the following
districts, where special taxes were
levied. Fruitvale fire district, Melrose
IRE district Fruitvale library district.
Fruitvale lighting district, Homestead

The law applicable to the various

toned for the dissolution of the dis

tition. At that time it viii be the duty
Of the county treasurer 10 turn over

In the case of the Fruitvale Berkeley.

ing been done. it will be the duty of

OAKLAND TO FLOOD

Post Card Day. Will Mark
New Era in Municipal
Advertising

OAKLAND. Feb. with only three
days in which to prepare for postcard
day, the big advertising festival which
the chamber of commerce has arranged
for next Saturday. Oaklanders are be-
ginning 10 compile lists of addresses 10
which the little boost cards may be

boats at the news stands and stores,
at many down town business offices

quarters There will also be a big
corps of pretty girls patroling the
streets to see that no pedestrian who
makes his home in Oakland gets
through the day without sending out
at least one of the cards to advertise
his home city.
Other cities on the coast have dis
played a great deal of interest in the
outcome of the experimental postcard
campaign. and they are watching 20
see whether Oakland Will prove its
boast that civic pride and public spirit
are stronger within its confines than
If every citizen of Oakland does
not buy and send away at least two
cards on Saturday., said a prominent
union labor man today, I shall be
very much disappointed. I am sure
that every union man in the city will
be willing TO spend at least 10 cents 20
help boost his city over the whole
world if he will only stop TO think OF
the Importance of his individual as
sistance If working man can do
that much, then the average business
or professional man ought TO be able
to do al least twice as much.
The chamber of commerce should be
supported in its great advertising
campaign, OF which postcard day is but
detail. If laboring men and other
workers viii but stop and consider that
this advertising campaign will un-
doubtedly attract a large amount Of
capital to Oakland, and that every in
crease in capital means an added de-
mand for labor, then they viii have
no difficulty in seeing that the cam
paign Will actually benefit them"

LAND WITHDRAWAL!

Bailinger's Action Kills Plan for
Electric Road to PEN
dlefOn
Special Dispatch 10 The Call

NALLA WALLA, Wash, Feb. g.
BY the withdrawal Of lands along the
Walla Walla river by Secretary Of the
Interior Ballinger, the Washington
oregon company, which proposes TO
build an electric line from here 10 Pen
dleton, is put down and out, provided
the action of the secretary is confirmed.
II was found that the withdrawal does
not take in any other land except that
of the Washington-O oregon company.
Why the Washington Oregon COM
pany should be singled out for attack
is difficult of surmise. 1t is but short
line, TO be built through a country that
would be actively served by it. The
directors OF the company intimate that
there is something behind the move
ment
Something" behind. as figured out
by local men Interested in the situation,
is something like this:
The Northern Pacific has physical
connections with the Walla Walla val
ley traction company, which is a local
branch of the Northwestern corpora
tion. 1t is known that there has been
2 deal on for sale Of the holding OF the
corporation here and in Pendleton.
And il is thought that the Northern
Pacific is the Interested party in the
sale. The Northern Pacific. il is said,
is close to the secretary of the inte-
rior. so close that it has more than
passing influence The Northern Pa
cifc, it is said, has instigated an ac-
ton to force its rival company from
the field.

SWEETS BEST FOOD
. FOR GROWING CHILD
Mrs. Meyer E. Jaffa Raises Ban
on Candy and Advises 1t
as a Dessert

BERKELEY, Feb. 9.-In lecture de-
livered before the.South Berkeley moth
ers' club this afternoon Mrs Meyer E.
Jaffa, wife of the well known univer-
sity professor and state pure food ex-
pert. raised the ban against candy for
the children and the club indorsed her
views.
She advocated candy for dessert;
more food for the boy than his parents
get, plenty of molasses, meat substi-
tutes and bran coffee. She cautioned
the mothers not to be afraid of plenty
of sugar for their children. She said:
Give Johnnie candy for dessert
nut candy especialiy-and see how
he warns toward you. Honey and
syrup are classed sugars. He
needs fair proportion of bulky
and concentrated foods each day.
Do not be appalled, at his appetite.
He Is probably studying more than
his parents. exercising more and
growing besides.
He can make good use of all he
manages TO stow away. If he does
not seem to be able TO handle the
quantity of food his age demands
there Is a strain somewhere in his
system or his routine which should
be corrected at once.
Everything should take second
place to the question of nourish-
JiAcit utI diu DteS nave 4
hygienic value in the system, but
after the necessary amount has
been used for this purpose they are
expensive forms of nutrients. Bran
bread is excellent, as its organic
phosphates are very important ele-
mentS. a good coffee substitute
can be made by toasting bran mois-
tened with little molas5es.
Rest assured that nothing will
make him realize more keenly that
a desire for his best good is his pa
rents first and last thought than to
be handed an extra cup of custard
or more than his share of ours or
the last piece of cake or candy, be-
cause he is growing so fast and
needs it."
The building material or protein
comes first for the growing bones
and muscles and internal organs.
But he should not get all the pro-
tein he needs from meat. 1t is too
great a tax on the kidneys. Give
him plenty OF meat substitutes for
breakfast and lunch and he will not
demand so much meat for dinner as
most growing boys do.
Remember that milk, eggs
cheese. beans and nuts furnish
large percentages of protein. Also
that oatmeal and macaroni come
next in order. Johnnie needs such
foods more than his father and
mother do. Soup meat has all the
growing materials still in it,
