SANITARIUM DIRECTORS FAVORABLY IMPRESSED Make a Two-Hours' Inspection of Hotel del Campo—Entertained at Magnificent Lunch—Drive About Country. Lee Moran, S. S. Merrill, S. C. Santee and G. B. Hemphill, directors of the Battle Creek, Mich., sanitarium, arrived in Anaheim on Friday morning, for the purpose of thoroughly inspecting the proposition offered by the Chamber of Commerce for the establishment here of a branch of that institution. They were met by a committee from the Chamber and driven in a tally-ho to the Del Campo hotel, where they made a two-hours' inspection of the premises. They were later driven through the extensive walnut groves southwest of town, going as far as Mr. Knapp's farm, where they were shown the wonderful effects of irrigation applied to the soil. At noon they were entertained at luncheon at the Pastime club. The menu was composed mainly of fruit and vegetable dishes prepared by the ladies of this city. The meal consisted of lobster salad, canned apricots, peaches and pears, baked vegetables, celery, bananas in cream, oranges, strawberries and other fruits, ice cream, and the purest of Anaheim's sparkling water. After lunch they were shown the municipal water and electric light works, and were later driven in the tally-ho through the orange and walnut groves of Placentia. They stopped at Mr. Chapman's orange grove, where they were entertained by that gentleman. Here they saw him gathering ten boxes of oranges from a single tree, which netted $4 per box. There being 80 trees to the acre, the net return per acre is thus $3200—the largest sum ever taken from an acre of trees. lished in Anaheim a branch of the famous Battle Creek Sanitarium of Michigan. You, of course, know that the Battle Creek Sanitarium is the largest institution of its kind in the world. The head physician at Battle Creek, in a letter, stated that he believed that, if a sanitarium were founded in Southern California, it would undoubtedly, in a very short time, eclipse the Battle Creek institution. In other places, notably St. Helena and Boulder, Col., where branches have been established, it has revolutionized business entirely, increased the value of property from $10 to $500 and $1000 per acre, reduced the rate of taxation, and brought general prosperity to the town. In Michigan the assessed valuation of the sanitarium property alone is $3,000,000.00. The taxes from that property are practically paying all the running expenses of the city. We have no doubt, in fact we do not hesitate to say, that, should the proposed sanitarium be instituted in Anaheim, it would do as much for us as it has for others. The sanitarium people expect to spend, within one year, in the neighborhood of $200,000. They will guarantee to build, within six months, a building which will cost not less than $50,000. In connection with the institution there will be a laundry, a manufacturing establishment for health foods, and an industrial school. They have at present nearly 200 patients ready and waiting to enter the new sanitarium. We figure that, should we be able to get the sanitarium in Anaheim, it will, within one year, triple the value of our property, and increase our population one thousand. Now the question is: Can we get the sanitarium people to come to Anaheim? We are practically sure that we can—provided we can raise the necessary funds to present them with the Hotel del Campo and about 15 or 20 acres of land. But to do this we need and SAYS CALIFORNIANS ARE UNJUST J. A. Kasson Thinks Duty on Oranges To High—Talks About Us. Six hundred business firms were represented at the annual banquet of the Illinois Manufacturers' Association in Chicago some evenings ago. There was but one set speech on the program for the evening, and that was by John A. Kasson, of Iowa, the diplomat and tariff expert who spoke on "Reciprocity." Martin B. Madden of Chicago, president of the club, sat at the head of the table and made a short address introducing Mr. Kasson, who was received with much applause by the guests as he arrose to speak. Kasson's address was devoted entirely to the subject of reciprocity, which he viewed from every standpoint, devoting his attention particularly to an expansion of the legal soundness of the practice of reciprocity, as demonstrated by the constitution and judicial decisions. He also entered at length into the history of reciprocity, but perhaps the most important section of the speech dealt with the most practical results to be expected from the treaties pending before the senate, the special benefits to be realized by each section of the United States being clearly indicated. He said there was no objection to any of these treaties except in the case of Jamaica, where California objected to the 20 per cent reduction on oranges. This was unjust, he said, because the Dingley duty on oranges was three times higher than ever before, and the duty under the treaty would be twice as high, and, in addition, the Jamaica crop did not compete with the California product, being marketed at a different season. After lunch they were shown the municipal water and electric light works, and were later driven in the tally-ho through the orange and walnut groves of Placentia. They stopped at Mr. Chapman's orange grove, where they were entertained by that gentleman. Here they saw him gathering ten boxes of oranges from a single tree, which netted $4 per box. There being 80 trees to the acre, the net return per acre is thus $3200—the largest sum ever taken from an acre of trees in California. A load of walnuts drove by, and the visitors were assured the price of the same was $900, and that the sum realized from that industry in Orange county was upward of $300,000. To say they were gratified by their trip to Anaheim, is to express it mildly. "Your geographical location is ideal," said Mr. Hemphill on his return, "and the products of the soil the most diversified in the world. "The matter of selecting a site for the branch sanitarium in Southern California is one of too great importance to decide hastily, and the committee will carefully examine into the merits of offers made us by the several localities. Anaheim has entered the competition late, but the showing made by your people, the spontaneous welcome accorded us all, even by the school children, has impressed us greatly. This magnificent welcome has taken permanent hold of the committee, and has gratified us beyond measure. "Your location is absolutely ideal, and the wonderful products of your soil are such as I have never before beheld." "What are the prospects of our securing this enterprise?" he was asked. "The committee will not decide before ten days. There are several localities yet to visit. I will say that it will be hard to decide against Anaheim, after this magnificent showing. "We shall desire eighty acres of land immediately outside of town for our industrial school and farm, besides lands for the sanitarium in the city. The expenditures in contemplation will amount to $200,000." "You can say for us that we have been delighted beyond words to express with our visit to this city." Mr. Hemphill was guarded in his observations, as a matter of course. However, members of the committee were enthusiastic about what the visitors said. "We have got this thing won right now!" exclaimed Secretary Athearn of the Chamber of Commerce after the visitors departed. "The other towns cannot beat us! We are winners, sure! If we raise the bonus, and I think we shall, we will have these people with us in ten days." Other members of the Chamber of Commerce expressed similar views. The subscription of $7000 is in sight! Let us give another pull, a long pull, and a pull altogether, and this magnificent prize shall be ours! Now the report in the trade is that this extra capital was placed so that the company might wipe out the beet and cane sugar industry. No evidence facturing establishment for health food and an industrial school. They have at present nearly 200 patients ready and waiting to enter the new sanitarium. We figure that, should we be able to get the sanitarium in Anaheim, it will, within one year, triple the value of our property, and increase our population one thousand. Now the question is: Can we get the sanitarium people to come to Anaheim? We are practically sure that we can—provided we can raise the necessary funds to present them with the Hotel del Campo and about 15 or 20 acres of land. But to do this we need, and must have, $7000 in money. If we can raise this amount, we can get the sanitarium. Long Beach is making them an offer of 80 acres of land; for 30 acres of this they have to pay $15,000. But we have the necessary climate and water, which is a great point in our favor. It is to your interest, as a property holder, to whom benefit will accrue, to assist in securing this needed amount. In view of what it means to our city to have the sanitarium here, and in view of the great benefit it will be to you personally, we respectfully solicit you to subscribe as liberally as possible by filling out the enclosed postal card and returning it at your very earliest convenience. Yours most respectfully, THE COMMITTEE TO ANNIHILITE BEET SUGAR Trust's Plan to Abolish Protective Treaty a Blow Almed at Local Industry The annihilation of the sugar growing industry of the whole country is threatened by the American Sugar Refining company. Not only has an attack been made directly against the beet sugar growers—an industry that is thriving now in thirteen states—but the growers of sugar cane in the south must face bankruptcy if the present schemes of the sugar trust are carried out. The plan is to abolish the protective tariff system; to admit sugar free of duty; and to turn over to the sugar trust and its few associates the whole business of refining and distributing sugar in the United States. To remove the duty on sugar would enable the trust to crush out competition and put into pockets of its owners the greater part of the sums it now pays in duty to the United States treasury. The trust's champions estimate that the sum to accrue to the people (the trust) would be more than $84,000,000 each year, and a home industry would be blotted out. The sugar trust increased its capital from $75,000,000 to $100,000,000 September 1. It was announced then that the additional $25,000,000 would be employed “to develop the sugar industry in the West Indies.” There has, so far, been no evidence that such intentions would be carried out. Now the report in the trade is that this extra capital was placed so that the company might wipe out the beet and cane sugar industry. No evidence benefits to be realized by each section of the United States being clearly indicated. He said there was no objection to any of these treaties except in the case of Jamaica, where California objected to the 20 per cent reduction on oranges. This was unjust, he said, because the Dingley duty on oranges was three times higher than ever before, and the duty under the treaty would be twice as high, and, in addition, the Jamaica crop did not compete with the California product, being marketed at a different season. He submitted a series of tables showing just how this French reciprocity treaty would affect the New England states and the eastern central states; the tables being prepared at the treasury department and showing cuts in duties in some cases as great as 100 per cent and few below 20 per cent. Another table showed the reductions on United States products by classes, such as wines, 41 3-5 per cent. It was then pointed out that whereas the reduction in duties under reciprocity authorized by the Dingley act was 20 per cent, as a matter of fact on only about one-eighth of the total imports from France is the rate of concession allowed, while on seventeen-eighteenth only five per cent concession is applied. He next undertook to answer the criticism that the concessions obtained by the United States from France were insufficient and he reminded his audience that there are two parties to a treaty. Mr. Kasson pointed to some very present dangers to our export trade, owing to the threatening attitude of Europe. He said there had been too much national bragging about our national expansion, increasing European alarm, and many countries were now preparing for retaliation. Advertising Aphorisms The man who advertises is the man who gets the dough. A business that isn't worth advertising isn’t worth wasting time over. You never know how much your business can amount to until you advertise and find out. An advertisement continues to get its work in until the last copy of the paper containing it is destroyed. The public has a short memory: that's the reason that a business must continue profitable must be advertised continuously. Name the successful and opulent business men of the country, and you repeat the names of those who have advertised freely. No big business has ever been built up without the publicity given it by judicious advertising, and in this era of advertising it is more than ever important that a business expecting success should be liberally advertised. The energy and enterprise of a business man may be measured by his ad vertising. If he be timid, puerile or slow going, he will not utilize the power of the press, but on the contrary, if he be a man of nervous purse, energy and push, he avails himself of every legitimate means to ad A Minister's Mistake. A city minister was recently handed a notice to be read from his pulpit, accompanying it was a clipping from a newspaper bearing upon the matter. The clergyman started to read the extract and found that it began: "Take Kemp's Balsam, the best cough cure." This was hardly what he had expected, and, after a moment's hesitation, he turned it over, and found on the other side the matter intended for the reading. Money to Loan. In sums to suit. Apply to F.

Last March Governor Gage found it necessary to send a number of gentlemen to Washington to save San Francisco from a quarantine, which threatened its commerce with ruin. At that time the Marine Hospital Service threatened in direct terms to cause an ironclad quarantine against the state of California to be put in force, not only by foreign countries, but by other states of the Union, unless the state of California turned its entire health affairs over to the Marine Hospital Service and placed at the disposal of that service an enormous sum of money. Further than that, a movement was on foot in Washington to remove the transport service of the Philippine Islands to the port of Seattle on account of the stories that existed of plague here, and a committee of prominent business men from Seattle went to Washington and interviewed the various cabinet officers, offering to erect in Seattle a transport plant at a cost of a million dollars, if necessary, if the military authorities would order the service removed north. When the committee went to Washington and made the claim that the state of California was able to take care of its own health conditions, it found that every piece of injurious evidence in the Marine Hospital Department had been furnished by the San Francisco Board of Health. Every statement made relative to affairs here was met by some report from the municipal Board of Health, claiming that a directly contrary state of affairs existed, but thanks to the courtesy of Secretary of the Treasury Gage, and thanks to the persistence and courage of the Commission sent on by Governor NO WHISTLING THAT MORNING Dan Williams Loses a Valuable Mare. But His Pa Will Buy Another for Him. Dan Williams, the fifteen-year-old son of I. R. Williams of Buena Park, lost a valuable mare, which his father had recently purchased for him, last Wednesday night; when she strangled herself to death by catching her halter in a projecting beam overhead. The boy had ridden the animal the evening before and had placed her in the barn for the night. She was scratching her head against the stall, when the halter by some means became fastened overhead, with the result that she was found dead the next morning. Dan took his loss very much to heart. Usually a happy youngster, he spent all of Thursday in sorrowful contemplation of his loss. That morning Ike said to his wife: “You don’t hear any whistling out in the yard this morning?” “你’re a pretty young man to be starting out in the world afoot,” said sire to son, as he walked out into the yard where the boy was, feeling rather uncomfortable himself. Friday Ike went to Santa Ana to attend court, and as he was starting off Dan said to him: “Keep your eye peeled for another good horse for me, over at Santa Ana.” Dan doesn’t know it, but his pa is going to buy for him the first suitable nag he sees, no matter what it costs. Chinese Immigration A Call to Action—To the People of the State of California: The Chinese exclusion act, after having been in existence for about ten years, will expire in May, 1902, and at the next session of congress the question of its re-enactment will have to be decided. The Chinese government, through its ministers and consuls, has attempted to influence public opinion When the committee went to Washington and made the claim that the state of California was able to take care of its own health conditions, it found that every piece of injurious evidence in the Marine Hospital Department had been furnished by the San Francisco Board of Health. Every statement made relative to affairs here was met by some report from the municipal Board of Health, claiming that a directly contrary state of affairs existed, but thanks to the courtesy of Secretary of the Treasury Gage, and thanks to the persistence and courage of the Commission sent on by Governor Gage of this state, the Marine Hospital Department reconsidered its attitude and ceased its threats to injure San Francisco. In consequence of the stories set on foot by the San Francisco Board of Health, Governor Gage practically took charge of health conditions in San Francisco, using a portion of the state's special health fund to make an examination of the health of Chinatown and cleanse up that district. A report of the work done under Governor Gage's directions has just been issued by the state printing office, and all persons interested in the subject can secure copies by applying at that department at Sacramento. It is not the purpose here to go into the details of this question. Suffice it to say that from April 9th until June 18th no case of bubonic plague was discovered in San Francisco, though up to that time for more than a year the San Francisco Board of Health had found plague cases at the rate of one a week. During the progress of the work of cleansing Chinatown and during the period that Governor Gage's Commission and the State Board of Health had this city's health affairs in charge, from April 8th to June 18th, a number of alleged plague cases were discovered by the San Francisco Board of Health. But when proper investigation was made, all of those cases were found to be bogus, and it is a reasonable conclusion that the cases previously reported would have turned out not to have been plague had there been a proper check on the work of the San Francisco Board of Health. On June 18, 1901, Governor Gage received from Walter Wyman, Surgeon-General of the United States, a telegram in which he stated that no cases of plague were discovered in San Francisco for a period of 60 days, but immediately conditions became normal and the State Board of Health relaxed its vigilance, the San Francisco Board of Health began the work of discovering plague cases again.—Examiner. Good Times for Farmers. Their wheat crop is worth more than last year's by $150,000,000. Other grains represent as large a total this year as last, the shortage in yield of corn being made up by advance in price. Potatoes are so high that the short crop will probably return more money to the farmer than ever before. Live stock represents a value of nearly $250,000 over last year. Chinese Immigration A Call to Action—To the People of the State of California: The Chinese exclusion act, after having been in existence for about ten years, will expire in May, 1902, and at the next session of congress the question of its re-enactment will have to be decided. The Chinese government, through its ministers and consuls, has attempted to influence public opinion against the necessity for its re-enactment by appeals and petitions and other means known to diplomacy. It is sufficient to remind the American people that should the bars be let down an enormous immigration of Chinese coolies would inundate this country and overwhelm its free working population. The standard of American civilization, our schools, churches, employment and family life, our greatness in peace and power in war are at issue. We invite you to meet in convention in San Francisco, Thursday November 21, to discuss this question and to take appropriate action as voicing the sentiment of California, the state most exposed to the impending danger, by memorializing congress.

That is the regular report from the monkey cage of Barnum's Circus ever since the keepers began dosing the monkeys with Scott's Emulsion. Consumption was carrying off two thirds of them every year and the circus had to buy new ones. One day a keeper accidentally broke a bottle of Scott's Emulsion near the monkey cage and the monkeys eagerly lapped it up from the floor. This suggested the idea that it might do them good. Since then the monkeys have received regular doses and the keepers report very few deaths from consumption. Of course it's cheaper to buy Scott's Emulsion than new monkeys—and that suits the circus men. Consumption in monkeys and in man is the same disease. If you have it or are threatened with it can you take the hint? This picture represents the Trade Mark of Scott's Emulsion and is on the wrapper of every bottle. Send for free sample.
