 "Quotations are fairly steady on the bulk of the offerings of good combing 964S and finer western grown wools, even though demand is limited. Inferior wools and edd lots are irregular. but pressure to sell is less pronounced than in late November.

WATERBURY HOSPITAL
 MEETS ITS EXPENSES

The annual meeting of the Wa terbury Hospital was held to-day.
 The executive committee reports as follows:
 The year ending September 30, 1892 has been a difficult one for everyone, and the hospital has been by no means immune from the Increased depression. Through out the year your committee has worked steadily on the principle that the safety and comfort of our patients must not be impaired, but that the hospital must live within its income. To this end employees not absolutely essential have been dropped, all salaries have been re- duced, and maintenance expenses have been cut to the minimum. In this we have had the sincere and very efficient cooperation of Dr Mason and his assistants, who have been able to effect many large economies and a multitude of smaller ones. The result has been an excess of cash receipts from all sources over disbursements of S3,9O5.38, which compares with deficits of $27,629.23 and $26, 158.54 for the two preceding years. This will enable us to take care of part of the necessary maintenance and repairs which have been too long deferred, but not to replace any part of the principal of our per- manent funds, which have been so heavily drawn on for the past two y ars.
 A summary of our financial oper- atfons follows:
 Operating Expenses and Recepits Salaries and wages .$183, 140.5S Supplies and expenses. 140,778.85 Total expense ........$323.919.43 Hospital receipts s.... 226,976.S4 Operating deficit ..... 96,942.50 Capital expense ....... 3.449.25

PEANUTS FORMED
CROP in VALLEY
80 YEARS AGO

One of many visitors at the Ell
Centro Chamber of Commerce re-
Gently was Sheriff George Camp
bell. who dropped in to talk about
peanuts. There is no doubt, he
told the members of the chamber
staff that peanuts will grow sue
cessfully in Imperial Valley.
Way back in 1908, Campbell stat
ed. Bert Going had from five to
10 acres of peanuts on soft land a
Iew miles northeast of Seeley. He
had an enormous yield and DEM
onstrated that peanuts are we'll
adapted to Imperial Valley. The
crop, according to Sheriff Camp
bell, was Improbable because OF
the low price and the high trans
portation. II have no doubt" he
continued, that under changed
conditions now existing, peanuts
can probably be profitably grown
and marketed"
The chamber staff was very much
interested when a local farmer re-
Gently brought Imperial Valley
grown peanuts to chamber head
quarters and it is believed they may
become an important crop in tu-
ture years. The demand for pea
nut oil has increased since the per-
iod of which Campbell speaks, IN
fact vegetable oils were very little
used 80 years ago, compared with
the great demand now.
The El Centre chamber is con-
stantly investigating the posslblll-
ties of new and different crops In
Imperial Valley. 1t has been real
lied that expansion may perhaps
have to come largely through culti-
walton of non-edible crops, such as
textiles and fibres, but not cotton,
and through the production OF veg
etable oils. such as peanut oil, soy
bean oil or tung oil.
styles change in agriculture,
lust as in anything else states
Robert Hays, manager Of the Ell
Centre chamber. 1T is only few
years since we had 100000 acres
of Imperial Valley land in cotton,
and thought We were doing well
with high prices: yet there are
OILY lou dClCo RAaAANSd w ~SSNN-
today and I presume next year
there will be none.
I'VE had a caller at the chamber
this morning, an eastern woman,
who desired TO see fields OF cotton
and rice. She had heard OF the
huge production of cotton in I'M
perial Valley. We had to disappoint
her because the $50 acres OF cotton
are in a distant part of the valley
and the rice crops are usually
planted for the purpose OF land
reclamation, rather than the rice,
and we thought they would be dis
TO her. We switched
her to grapefruit and pecans and
she went out to inspect them and
to see the preparations which are
being made to plant Imperial VAL
ley's winter lettuce, pea and carrot
crops

GLOW do | look to other people?"
If you have lovely skin, attractive
eyes, and plenty of enthusiasm, you
need not worry.
So many women, though, risk
their beauty by neglect of constipa-
ton. 1t often causes loss of pep,
sallow skins, dull eyes, pimples.
Yet constipation can be overcome
by eating Kellogg's ALL-BRAN. This
cereal provides "bulk" to exercise
the intestines, and Vitanin B which
tones the intestinal tract. ALL-BRAN
also supplies iron for the blood.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is much
like that of lettuce. Special cooking
processes make it finer, more pal
atable. 1t is not habit-forming.
Surely this is safer than abusing
the system with pills and drugs
so often habit-forming.
Two tablespoonfuls daily will
correct most types of constipation.
