NOT A CURE
According to the statement of the
Health Officer OF the port of New
York, the supposed cure for consump-
ton exploited by DR.. Friedman is
not only not a cure, but is proving
positively injurious to many of those
treated.
The health officer recommends that
steps be taken to prohibit its use,

INVESTIGATIONS TO BE MADE
The conditions in the coal fields
Of West Virginia are to be investi
gated by the Federal authorities, n
resolution to that effect having pass
cd the Senate of the United States
last week, and a similar resolution
having bccn presented in the House.
The committee will investigate the
charge of peonage, the violation uf
the immigration laws, interference
with the mails and postoffices. and
the trial of citizens by military tri-
cunals.
ANOTHER INVESTIGATION
As a result OF the charges made
by Pres. WilCon last week, that "a
lobby Of the special interests, indus
trious and insidious, such as before
has never been known, infests the.
capital, antagonistic to some of the
chief items of the tariff BILL" an
investigation is to be made by the
Senate.
The President calls attention to the
fact that the people have no lobby,
entrusting their interests, as they
do, members of Congress, while the
special interests are spending large
sums to impress their views upon
Congress.
DEMOCRATIC MlXUP ON THE CUR.
RENCY
President Wilson is particularly
anxious that a currency law shall
be passed at this session, but his
Democratic compatriots are rather
shy of this large subject. The fact is,
our currency is the most important
subject before the country today -
and some juvenile Democratic states
man arc anxious for the currency
measure to go ever until the regular
session in December so that they
can study up OH the A B C's of fin
ances. Pres. Wi son is helping Lead
er Underwood pick out the
brightest chaps in the present Con-
gress to serve on the Banking and
Currency Committee in the hope that
a Currency Bill may be passed that will
enable the currency to freely expand
in accordance with the requirements
of business. The value of currency is
not increasing in proportion to the
increase of business and a larger
volume is demanded by the business

Prison For Light Weight.

A judge the other day sent a
New York coal dealer to prison
for giving short weight. The
driver was given two tickets,
one for 1000 pounds for the GUS
toner, the other for 3, 600 pounds
for the city inspector. The cart
had 1000 pounds short of the
two tons he claimed to deliver to
the customer. One-half ton of
theft in an order of two tons
was a pretty deep cut. So the
judge fined the dealer $3.50 and
sent him to prison for 20 days.
The high price of coal, almost
out of reach of the poor, makes
its theft by light weight pecu-
liarly reprehensible. Most men
are honest, but the prisons
would not be large enough for
all who give light weight and
short measure. Christian Herald

The court heard arguments on the
appeal by the railroads in which the
carriers claimed the rate fixed by the

evidence and was confiscatory. Coun-
sci for the railroads also argued that
the commission went outside it's jur-

the necessity of protecting the Cali

FAIR SITE As
GREAT PARK
FOR CITY
Business Man Offers TO Raise
$1,000, 900 in Support
of Project

Plans to make the Panama Pacific
exposition grounds great pleasure
PARK after the fair closes in 1915 have
been proposed by r. E. Miller of San
francisco, president of the Owl Drug
company. who offers to subscribe $780,
600 and to raise $1,000 900 additional
among the bdsiness men of the city In
support Of bond issue for the prof.
ect.
such park as this is only resem-
bled by the famous park system that
overlooks the bay of Naples, according
70 Mr.. Miller. 1t is proposed that the
city buy the 400 available acres at
cost of about s3,75o, 900.
THINKS CITY WOULD VOTE BONDS
There never has been a time when
a pond issue having in view the bet
terment of the city as whole has not
carried" said Mr. Miller in stating
his belief that a bond issue for this
project would be voted Il believe
every one would be favorable once 1t
was understood how great thing for
San Francisco this would be.
Il believe the time is at hand in San
Francisco when the people are begin
ming to realize that we must do more
Tor the future generations of the city.
With the civic center, municipal opera
house and other enterprises under,
way the mind of the city is taking on
the continental realization of the i'm
portance of plans for beautifying.
Every day I hear more talk of these
things among San Francisco's men of
affairs, and it is hopeful sign.
SAN FRANCISCO SHOULD ACT
Other cities have already taken i'm
portant steps in such matters. and.
San Francisco, with all its panoramic
advantages, should be second to no
city on the American continent in this
respect, and / am confident that the
proposed bay park project will meet
with hearty popular Endorsement once
1t is generally understood
Louis H. Mooser has made a study
of the values of the exposition
grounds for the exposition corpora
ton, and he estimated yesterday that
1t would take about $780, 900 to ac-
quire the property. Mooser pointed
out that the land was sure to rise in
price on account of the exposition and
would cost about 100000 per city
block after 1915. when it might
originally have been purchased for
100000 per block.
SWISS FINANCING EXHIBIT
To- provide a nucleus for the fund
that will finance the Swiss celebra-
ton during the. Panama Pacific expo
sitfon the united Swiss societies of
San Francisco and the bay counties
will conduct costume festival and
indoor picnic next Sunday in the .Au-
ditorium. Eight Swiss organizations
