No DOWRY. So
COULD NOT WE'D
CHERRYS Comes to Rescue

1T was not SO very. long ago. said
Mayme, that / can remember the
case of a. young couple who could not
wed because the girl could not bring a
dowry with her. This lamen'table fact
was considered a bar to the marriages
because the prospective husband could
not afford to buy. her the necessary
clothes.
But, thank goodness. this condi-
ton does not exist now: Y Dung
couples feel that they can afford to
marry, because they can both GO. to
CHERRYS and. buy their complete
outfits !. on CHERRYS liberal credit
plan. And such wonderful clothes,
Made with the greatest care. and yet
with an eye on the. latest. STYLES, these
clothes are daily demonstrating that
they are worth many times the
amounts paid for them. CHERRYS
has demonstrated its worth to the
community, for their stylish clothes
and liberal credit plan have made it
possible for many young couples to
marry
!. CHERRYS have two. stores in San
Francisco-at 1909 Market street and
2400 Mission street. Both of these
carry mems as well as women's s
clothes. CHERRY'S Oakland stores
are at 528 18th street for men and 515
18th street for women. In Los An
geles the store is at 636 South Broad

WHAT DYSP'EPTICS
SHOULD EAT
4 PHYSICIANS ADVICE


/ Indigestion and practically all forms
of stoma ch trouble are, nine times. out
Of ten, due. to .acidity; therefore stom-
ach sufferers should. whenever possi-
Die, avoid eating food that is acid in
its nature. or which by chemical ac-
tion in. the stomach develops 'acidity
Unfortunately, such rule eliminates
most foods. which are pleasant to the
| taste as well as those which are rich
in blood, flesh and nerve building
properties. This lis the reason why
dyspeptics and stomach sufferers are
usually so thin. .emaciated and lacking
in that vital energy which can only
come. from a Well fed body. For the.
benefit of those sufferers who have
been obliged to exclude from their diet
all starchyr sweet or fatty food, and
are trying to keep up miserable exist
ence on gluten products, l would sug-
.gest that you should try meal of any
food or foods which you may like, in
moderate amount, taking immediately
afterward a teaspoonful of bisurated
magnesia in little hot orscold water
This will neutralize any acid which.
may be present, or. which may be
formed, and instead of the usual feel
ing of uneasiness and fullness. you
will find that your food agrees with
you perfectly Bisurated magnesia is
/ doubtless the best food corrective and
antacid known. 1t has no direct ac-
ton on the stomach, but by neutral
izing the acidity of the food contents,
and thus removing the source of the
acid irritation which lnfiames the DEL
icate stomach lining, 1t does more
than could possibly be done by any
drug or medicine. As physician I
believe in the use of medicine when
ever necessary, but | must admit that
I can not see the sense of dosing an
inf1amed and irritated stomach with
drugs instead of getting rid OF the
acid-the cause of all the trouble. Get
i little bisurated magnesia from your
druggist, eat what you want at your
next meal, take some Of the bisura ted
magnesia as directed above, and see If
I'm not right"

WASHINGTON. Dec. '1.-Caiifornia
oil for the navy is urged: by Secre-
tary Of the Navy Josephus Daniels in
his annual report. = His most import
ant recommendation in the. report is
the immediate acquisition and opera
tion By the .gavernment. of the oil
wellss and refneries' in Elk Hills and
Buena VISTA fields. California The
government. is. now suing the South
ern Pacific company and others for
the possession.pf these fields.
Tie 'recomnien ndat1on regarding oil
wells. :.and refneries follows the
aBsfornation of. modern navies
from coal to. OIL burners. The report
says the. price of. oil is steadily creep
ing upward; IS. now twice as much as
in 1871, and WIZ be a staggering item
in the expense: account of the navy
IN the future~unless the navy controls
Its own wells: Even now the navy is
using 10000. 900 gallons Of oil year.

Therefore. the secretary. urges. by
the time the Panama canal is. opened
the Bavy should be producing It's own
oil from its petroleum. reserves in the
Elk Hills and Bliena.. Vista fields of
CalifoChia. and IT'S :rehneries- should
be in operation. ::
MORE CHAPLAINS

crying need of the. navy, says. .Secre-
tary Daniels. He recommends also an.
appropriation. to enable" him to en-
ploy on every ship that has noschap-
lain a. young religious. leader to be
known as d. -'weffare secretary
Secretary; :. Daniels says. the navy
was pevers,in such; a. high state of
efficiency as today. and that in con-
siderings its future needs. he has given
less thought To- the: guns than to the
men behind them.
Believing that. the. efficiency of the

The. secretary, thinks that the time
has GENE when the department should

OUTSTANDING SMALL GAINS

Penny Contest Editor: Your
Money Bargain Sale" has inter-
ested me greatly from the stand
point not only of the sale. bat
also of the important principle
back of the sale--the advantag-
eous use OF the American penny
Emerson taught "that as much
wisdom may be expended on a
I private economy as on an empire,
and as much wisdom may be
drawn from it, Perhaps part of
the wisdom would be prudence,
which consists of outstanding
small gains.
In making general use of the
penny. the first gain would come
in buying our papers. Our morn
ing papers are still five cents a
copy, rs cents a month, 80 cents a
month more than any newspaper
in the east. Three dollars and so
cents a year lost to as western
housekeepers because we have not
fully realized the value of the
copper.
The second gain would come in
daily shopping. Our climate COM
bined with apartment house living
is prohibitive of buying vegetae-
bles in. quantities. For example,
take string beans. which sell two
pounds for Is cents. In the. east
a. groceryman would charge you
: eight cents pound. Here. how
ever. because pennies have not
become generally accepted. the
housewife must pay 10 cents.
In such ways, by making small
gains the penny can be of service
to the housewife in reducing the
high cost of living. In behalf OF
the penny, may yours be a. win
ming fight.

A PITHY ARGUMENT

Z Some of the great. lessons of hu
manity are taught by means OF falr
tales. This writer resorts to such
form in his argument for the al
vantages Of the penny. It's pithy an
pointed.
Penny contest Editor Once
upon a time prince wished to
marry. the BEAUTIFUL daughter OF a
king, the daughter being in love
with the prince The king stipu-
lated that when the prince has
saved up a million dollars he
could have the girl. For years
the prince saved every penny until
he had the million dollars. where
upon he took it to the king with
great joy Behold, o king.
have fulfilled the condition OF
Your demands. and have come. to
claim my prize. The king ordered.
that the money be placed in a safe
place until 1t could be counted,
which was to be done on the fol-
lowing day The wedding was to
8 take place Immediately after the
counting -
1t so happened that another
prince was in. love with. the same
girl and would stop: at. nothing
10 gam ntI. oo Wtien hc ouiio
out that. his rival had a million
:. dollars on deposit. he consipred
with the kings chamberlain,
whom he induced. to steal one
penny from the hoard. which left
it short of million dollars. When
it was counted by the king it was
found to be short one penny, and
.as there was not a million dollars
the. prince lost the girl.
Now, as one cent is big enough
to make or unmake million dol
lars it is obvious that it is of
some Importance.
