10 THE SAN FRANCISCU CALL, WEDNESDAY, -OCI'OBER 9, 1895. TWO VIEWS OF THE LAW. How the S. P. of Kentucky Operated in the Federal Courts. THOMPSON ON CORPORATIONS. Escaping Congressional Investiga- tlon and the Payment of Call- fornia Taxes. Seymour D. Thompson, editor of the American Law Review and author of Thompson’s “Commentaries on Private Corporations,” whose grilling of the four founders of the Southern Pacific Company of Kentucky appeared in yesterday’s CALL, now goes deeper into the incidents that surroundea the creation of the company, and chats about the way the Federal judiciary assisted the corporation to avoid a Congressional investigating committee, and also protect its franchise from State taxation. “It will be remembered,” said Mr. Thompson, in réferring to the incidents mentioned, *that when the Congressional commiittee was investigating the accounts of the company and wanted to know what had become of that $1,700,000 for which the company could not or would not show any vouchers, -the Federal courts that such information was beyond the reach of Federal compulsory process, asit was a State corporation, but, on the other hand, when the State of California was trying to subiect the franchise to taxation, it procured a decision from the Supreme Court of the United States, that whereas its most important franchises were granted by the United States, they were not subject to State taxation. The particular case I refer to was the Central Pacific road, which is practically the Southern Pacific, having been leased by the latter company according to the act of incorpora- tion issued from the State of Kentucky, which permitted them to absorb all the railroads with which they were able to nal capital stock was $1,000,000, clowing strange extract from the act to incorporate has made it possible for the directors to increase it to nearly $100,- 000,000: The capital stock of said corporation may be increased from time to time to such sum as may be determined by the board of directors of said corporation. “In all the incorporations I have ever had to deal with the matter of increasing the capital stock rested solely in the stock- hold and not in the directors. *The incorporation simply amounted. to the formation of a railroad trust in Ken- tucky, and part of section 1 of the original act read * * * Or the stockholders therein shall deem expedient or necessary for the manage- ment of its affairs not inconsistent with the constitution and laws of the United States, and generally to doand execute all acts, mat- ters and things which may be deemed neces- sary or convenient to carry into effect the powers and privileges herein granted; pro- vided, however, that said corporation shall not have power to make joint stock with, lease, own or operate any raiiroad within the State of Kentueky. *‘This was done,” continued Mr. Thomp- son, *“for the purpose of bringing all the business of the company within the jaris- diction of the United States courts and under the Federal laws just the same asa citizen can carry cases wherein the sum of over $200( rvolved to the United States court, provided he is doing the business in a State other than the one in wkich he re- t was afterward discovered that Penn- sylvania had once created a corporation that could do business everywhere except in Pennsylvania, and Kansas heid that it was ot a corporation in the State of Kan- sas, claiming that a corporation that was not allow to exercise its franchises in Pennsylvania conld notdo so in Kansas. This was good law and the following amendment was then made: That the act entitled “An act to incorporate the Southern Pacific Company,” which was ap- proved March 17, 1884, be ‘end the same is amended by adding 10 s 1 1 thereof the following words: Except subject to and in conformity with the provisions of the laws of the State of K applicable to railroads and requiring no special rights that may be possessed by any railroads in the State, except the general and ordinary rights of common carriers as possessed by railroads geuerally. Approved March 21, 1888. “The Southern Pacific Company has simply used the Federal judiciary against the Government. It escaped investigation at the hands of the Congressional com- mittee through the decision of Sawyer and Subin, and escaped tax on its franchise by the decision of the Supreme Court, Just what influence the corpora- tion had over these men and whatever became of that $4,700,000 I am unable to say, but it was presumed by various au- thorities to have been used in influencing legislati ‘Whether it was or not I am unable to state, as no vouchers could be reached to prove ordisprove anything, and I would not care to make direct statements regarding the money and its wherezbouts unless I had given it all the attention it deserves and handled it with care.” In Mr. Thompson's commentaries he deals with the railroad issue and the cor- Egrporulions very carefully and presents th sides of the questions involved. Itis National 1n its scope and the six volumes contain over 8000 pages. Mr. Thompson is at present engaged in completing the last volume and he has left no stone un- turned. T0 FOUND FREE SCHOOLS Prominent Hebrews Meet to Talk Over the Neces- sary Steps. <] 5 = Dr. Voorsanger Thinks the Faclilitles for Religlous Instruction Inadequate. The meeting of representative members of the Jewish community summoned by Dr. Jacob Voorsanger was held in the vestrysroom of the Temple Emanu-El Mon- day to take steps toward establishingan association of schools in various districts of San Erancisco, it being feared that the B'nai B'rith School is not efficiently sup- ported. & The motion before the meeting was: “Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the school supportea by the Indepe ndent Order of B'nai B’rith is inaa- equate to afford religious education-to the children of the poor in the Southern Ad- dition.” Rev. Dr. Voorsanger spoke on the neces- sity of the dissemination of religious edu- cation among thechildren of the poor. He cemarked that this is certainly not being ione now. L J. Ascheim, ‘chairman of the B’nai B’rith Religious School, was opposed to es- :ablishing a new free school, because he said he took a pridein the one founded ander the auspices ofithe B'nai B'rith. Joseph Rothschild/in answer, said that m 1890 when he was grand president of the order, the idea was to establish a charity. Chis charity took the form of the B’nai 3’rith Religious School, and was not es- ablished till 1891, when Felix Merzbach was grand Fmsidenh It was thought that + technical school might be established, »ut upon investigation it was found that ‘is would cost too much. Mr. Rothschild held | remarked that year after year a great fight had to be made to keep the religious school 2oing. 2 Co.l:oncl Bush and Mr. Ascheim said that the last speaker was mistaken, whereupon Mr. Rothschild remarked that the ap- propriation was reduced several hundred dollars. N7 S. Levy spoke in behalf of establishing the school. He was followed by E. Raas, who said that no one doubted the B'nai B'rith School had done much good, but both its facilities and those of the congregational schools were inade- quate_to_give religious education to all poor Jewish children in the City. Rabbi Julius Fryer and Samuel Pollack fayored the proposition. 2 President Altmeyer of the Congregation Qhabai Shalome gave it as his opmion that the children in the southern districts should be removed from the B’nai B'rith School, and thought it would be a good plan to_establish free schools in the north- ern and western parts of the City. J. Greenebaum promised to aid the movement as much as he could if the means were forthcoming. He was, how- ever, averse to taking the matter out of the hands of the order, because he had been assured that it was fully in a position to support it. 2 Mr. Goldberg counseled delay and Dr. May, principal of the B'nai B'rith Religious School, quoted statistics proving that the facilities for imparting religious instruc- tion to Jewish children are totally inade- quate to the needs of the City. On the motion of Attorney Joseph Roths- chilg, it was decided that the chairman, Dr. \'oorsan}:er, be requested to appoint a committee of five on permanent organiza- tion. This was agreed to nem con. The meeting then adjourned, Dr. Voor- sanger stating that he would appoint the committee. A LOCAL FRESH-AIR FUND It Will Be Formed in Connec- tion With the Presbyterian Orphanage. Negotlations Now Pending for the Purchase of a Large Farm Near San Rafael. The lady managers of the Presbyterian Orphanage at San Rafael held a meeting yesterday afternoon for the purpose of coming to some decision regarding the re- moval of the orphanage in San Rafael to some larger and more commodious quar- ters. As a result of the meeting it was de- cided to combine two schemes which the ladies have had under consideration for some time and to secure a large farm upon which both plans may be put into effect, The idea is to establish an orphanage, a children’s home jor the weak and con- valescent, and a number cf “fresh air’’ cottages on a large farm. The establishing of the ‘iresh air” cot- tages will be after the idea which has proved so successful in the East. There will be this difference, however, that while in the East children are sent to private families, on the farm to be established cially for them. The idea of forming a fresh-air fund for this purpose Las been in the minds of the managers of the orphan- age ever since that institution was founded in San Rafael last February. The orphanage at San Rafael has now thirty-six children under its roof, and this fills the house so that it has been found necessary to turn the last living-room in the house into a_dormitory. It must be moved temporarily, but the lady mana- gers have fixed on one suitable site for its permanent location, and they are only waiting to assure themselves that there is no better before taking it. The under con- sideration site is located near San Ansel- mo, in the vicinity of the Presbyterian Theological Seminary, and contains 158 acres. The ladies can secure it for $10,000, and the raising of that amount is a que tion for serious consideration. Already over $200 has been donated toward the amount, and it is announced that further donations can be sent to Mrs. P. D. Brown, the president of the board, or Mrs. W. B. Noble, the treasurer, at 920 Sacramento street. As a further means of increasing the revenue of the orphanage and raising the purchase money of the land, the Presby- terian Synod, which meets in San Jose within the next week, will be asked to set aside one Sunday in the year as Orphan Sunday, upon which day the collections from the churches of the State will be turned over to the orphanage. This, with the donations which are expected and the the dues of the members, will, the ladies hope, pay off the $10,000 within a reason- able time, and keep the institution run- ning. The privileges of the farm while under control of the Presbyterian church will be allowed to all children regardiess of their religious belief. If no better site than the one offered is found, and it is not expected there will be, the bargain will be closed, and by next summer the farm will be run- ning. The cottages will be open during the summer months, and children who otherwise would spend the hot days in the streets of the City will be given as long a time as possible over on the farm. Sickly children will be allowed to regain their health, orphans will be kept where they will have plenty of room and the oider boys will be tanght how to plow and sow, and all the trade of a farm, for there are forty-seven acres of meadow land in the farm which will not be allowed to remain idle. As for the funds the ladies feel con- fident that when the scope of the scheme is known there will be found plenty of peo- ple willing to help. The officers in charge of the work are: Mrs. P. D. Brown, president; Mrs. Wil- liam McRae, financial secretary; Miss Helen Van Winkle, corresponding secre- tary; Mrs. W. B. Noble, treasurer; direct- ors—Mrs. L. McLaine, Mrs. Thomas An- derson, Mrs. Frank Dalton, Mrs. J. C. Smith, Mrs. E. G, Denniston, Mrs. Robert Mackenzie. SIGNING A BIG PETITION. Architects Preparing to Fight Hard on the Building Contest, A big petition, containing over a thousand names, will be presented to the Board of Supervisors at their special ses- sion this evening. The proposed ordinance on the height of buildings will come up for discussion, and those in favor of no limit on the height are backing the petition. Chief among the signersare the archi- tects. Most of them believe it will check the architectural development of the City to limit building operations in any A A great number of influential merchahts and property-owners directly interested are also among the signers. Some of them will endeavor to personally present their views at this evening’s meeting. Supervisor James will champion the cause of the other side. He believes that buildings should be limited at least to 100 feet in height. Yesterday he had a lot of literature bearing on the subject, and he stands p:eparedg to back up his argu- ments with guotations from all kinds of authorities. . When the matter was up for discussion in commiitee the tendency was to limit the height by the width of the street. Streets 100 feet wide were only to be allowed buildings over that height. The champions of both. sides of the question are preparing for a stubborn argument this evening. It is supposed that the big petition now being signed will add weight to the “'no limit” side. ———-— Died ¥rom Apoplexy. James R.

THE HIGHEST ASSAY OF BEETS, Dr. Galen Wilson Writes of the Ex- haustion of Cultivated Solls. At last week’s session of the State Grange the good roads question received some of the consideration that it demands, and the following commendable resoiution was adopted: *As by far the greatest trans- portation expense incurred by farmers is that for hauling products over common roads, we urge all granges to constantly watch over the public expenditure upon country roads, with the determination to get full value for the money spent, and we declare it to be the policy of the grange to favor liberal expenditure upon the roads whenever the character and ability of the officials in charse seem to promise a wise and economical use of the funds at their command.”” The claim having been advanced that probably the highest assay of sugar ever | obtained from average samples of beets was that shown recently at Chino, when a sarple from a load hauled by W. H. Kirby was analyzed and gave 25.6 sugar and 88.7 purity, brings the following dec- laration from the Watsonville Pajaronian: “We do not desire to take from the repu- tation of Chino, but tne percentage quoted will have to be excelied to beat the record | made by the Moro Cojo ranch, near Cas- troville, in 1893, One lot of beets from that ranch, during the factory run, showed 26, er cent of saccharine, and this year one field of 140 acres in the Salinas Valley is averaging 21 per cent.” Dr. Galen Wilson, writing on the sub- ject of the exhaustion of cultivated soils, | declares that there are farms in New Mex- ico that have been irrigated for 250 years, and they are to-day as good asnew. The Pima Indians of Arizona have cultivated land the same way for 500 years, and noth- mg has been applied but the irrigating water, and crops are as good as ever. There is no manure in water. Now, where did the fertility come from if not from the land itself and the atmosphere? It is estimated by an Eastern exchange that the increase of population in New Jersey directly attributable to the im- provement of the roaas consisted of not Jess than 10,000 people during the past year. These accessions bring the markets home to the farmers, increase the value of land and home products, as well as add to the general prosperity of the State. The conversion of a heavy mass of alfalfa into a choice quality of hay isan operation, says B. F. Stuart in Arid America, calling for no small degree of skill and experience. But the process is one to be learned by intelligent observation and practice rather than from a written description. The first and second crops of each season need to be cured with especial care, or they will cer- tainly mold in the stack. Beginners need to beware of this point. The knack to be acquired is that of curing the hay sufficient to be assured of its keeping sweet in the stack without becoming so dry as to shed its lcaves in the lmndlimf. ’f"his cannot possibly be accomplished by curing fully {in the swath. A method much prac- ticed is to rake the alfalfa. while quite | green into winrows, where it is allowed | to stand until ready for the stack. This process makes very nice hay, but where a large acreage is to be taken care of it is too slow and expensive. Alfalfa may be cured with entire success in the winrow, but it is important, when cured in this way, that there be ample facilities for putting it into the stack very | rapidly when ready, otherwise it will be- | come too dry and much of it will be lost in | the handling, especially if it has to be car- | ried from the fields on wagons. Alfaifa should be cut on the first appearance of bloom, as experiments have proved its nutritive ratio to be considerably higher at that age than later on, The State Veterinary Department of Towa carried on an extensive series of ex- periments to determine whether tuber- culosis in cattle is hereditary. They con- clude it is not. Calves from cows affected with tuberculosis when fed milk from healthy cows become healthy, and calves from healthy cows fed on milk from dis- eased ones contract the disease. 1t is de- termined that the disease is transmitted only by the milk and that it can also be transmitied to persons as well as cattle if the diseased milk is used. The experi- ments have been made at the State agri- cultural college and have extended over a long time and been thorough. On the Hardesty premises in this city may be seen three lime trees which ata low estimate are bearing an aggregate bur- den of 4000 limes, says the Modesto Herald. The trees are thirteen years old, and bore fruit’ for the first time three years ago. Last year the crop was disposed of to local consumers at 20 cents a dozen, and the present crop will undoubtedly bring as good a price. The fruit is full size and in every respect equal to the imported article. We ‘don’t know whether lime trees com- mence bearing earlier than these have or not, but we do know that there would be big money in an orchard of limes, once the trees are in bearing. A very small per- centage indeed of the limes consumed in i the United states are raised in this coun- try, and the same is true of lemons. South- ern Californians who have lemon groves are making small fortunes this year, it may be remarked incidentally, netting $4 per box. This is an unusually high nrice, gfit névertheless the growers make money right along. It is very natural that Great Britain,with colonial interests to protect, should pro- test against the-beet-sugar invasion, says the Philadelphia Sugar Beet. Itcontinues to be declared that it has not the sweeten- ing power of cane-sugar, yet theory and science are not sufficiently far advanced to prove, if there isa difference, in what it consists, Therefining process for the two sugars is not the same, but let a British re- finer submit refined (not raw) beet-sugar i to his own method of refining and then compare the two sugars, we do not hesi- tate to assert that there is no living expert who could distinguish them. Make a test with lemonade or any sour drink, submit this to twenty persons and they can give a practical test as to the superior sweeten- +ing powers of two products, e from the tropical cane and the other from the northern beet. George Feaver Jr. of Fowler, Cal., fur- nishes the Fruit-grower with a novel remedy for the vine-hopper pest as follows: For the benefit of those who are troubled with this pest I would recommend asa preventive for next year the feeding off of the vineyards thus affected by sheep. This, where I have tried it, and according to my observation in other vineyards where it has been done, has proved very helpful. While such treatment will not destroy every hopper, it will so reduce their num- bers’ that they will not injure the vines. The theory is that the sheep eat all the leaves, thus leaving no cover for the bop- ers winter under, and they are there- ore killed by the winter cold. The sheep are turned into the vineyard after the grapes are all off and as late as possible in the season, but before the frost, as afser frost the sheep will not eat the leaves so readily. Care should be taken not to let the sheep on in rainy weather, as they will vack the gound very hard if wet. ~ Care must also be taken not to let the sheep re- main in the vineyard when they are not feeding, for instance during the night or middle of the day; for when they are bunched up in a small space they will nibble the canes and buds; although they will do 1o damage so long as there are leaves to eat, and the sheep are required to keep moving over the vineyard. This remedy is practiced quite extensively in Fresno County, and we get from 25 to 50 cents per acre for the feed, besides keeping the hoppers in subjection. Lemon Culture. In a paper on this subject, presented at the recent session of the Ojai Valley Farm- ers’ Institute, N, W. Blanchard of Santa Paula gave the following advice, born of experience: The location of a lemon orchard should be upcn land compara- tively free from frost and with a supply of water. Lemon trees will stand for a short time a temperature of 27 degrees Fahrenheit without any damage, but no one, in view of the sharp com petition that is bound to come in future years in the lemon culture, should venture to invest his capital where there is liability of fre- quent or occasional loss through fros Lemons shonld not be grown on their own roots. It has been sufficiently demon- strated that the lemon root is not so healthv nor so long-lived as the orange root, and as to the merits of sweet versus sour stock there is no settled opinion. But plant in either case vigorous, healthy stock, for scrubby stock is dear if gotten for nothing. The lemon will not endure as much cold as the orange and theie is less acreage adapted to lemon culture than to orange culture, and yet there is suitable land suffi- cient to grow ten times the present con- sumption of lemons in this country. PLANTING.—In our rich soil I would rec- ommend planting Lisbon trees 30 feet apart and Eureka trees 25 feet apart. The manner in which I have planted the Lem- oneria Orchard of 400 acres is as follows: Lisbon trees 15x26, Eureka trees 12:6x22. This gives one way a wide space for raising hoed crops fora few years and when the trees become too close in the row every al- ternate tree in the row can be removed, leaving the permanent orchard. Lisbon trees 30x30 and Eureka 25x25, both in a triangular orchard form. The lemon trees thus removed will pay several times their cost before it i necessary to take them out. PRUNING.—A little pruning may be safely and, I think, profitably done. In the start, thin out the branches so ihere will not be too many, three or four being enough to start the top of the tree. Shorten in the branches that push them- selves out much beyond the others, cut out the water sprouts that start from the inside of the tree, and cut away any limb that crosses and abrades another.” Also try to prevent the limbs getting down on the ground, which many of the lower ones will “naturally do; this is necessary in order to cultivate and irrigate the soil. Were it not for this need -of cultivation and irrigation, and for the necessity of getting into the orchard to gather the fruit, I would say, let the tree spread and hug the ground at will, for more fruit can be produced if the tree is allowed to grow in_“nccordance with nature’s own sweet will. The more pruning—mautilating would often be the better word—the longer time required for fruiting. ICKING.—Cut the stem of the lemon close to the fruit and handle with great care. Gather them before they have chan%ed to a lemon color on the tree, if they are intended to be kept for some months; I am more and more convinced of the necessity of doing this. They should have attained the diameter of 214 to 214 inches when cut, and this will require on large trees a.high state of culti- vation, or I think thinning of the fruit as ifs q?ne in deciduous trees to produce large ruit. Curing.—I have no liking for the use of this term, for it seems to imp? some tech- nical or professiona! knowledge, whereas, the lemon will cure fitself. fn Ttaly, no such expression as ‘“‘curing” lemons is known, I think. If green, fiuey will color up better in the dark than in the light, and an]y contrivance that will keep away a cir- | culaf tion of our desiccating air from the lemons, give them a cool atmosphere and prevent the heating by ferment of decay answers every purpose of ‘‘curing.” A lemon kept until the skin has become thin has both a greater amount of juice and greater acidity. VARIETY.—After testing for two or three | years, side by side, the keeping qualities and appearance of the Lisbon, Eureka and Genoa varieties, I think it right to give the result of my experience for the benefit of my ‘‘competitors.” I have carefully re- corded the result, and have found each ear, and this year in particular, that the isbon lemons at the end of five or six months are much the best. There is not only more loss by decay of the Eureka (I class the Genoa with them, for the habit and growth of the tree and the appearance of the fruit are similar to the Eureka{, but there are many of the Eureka decidedly off in appearance, having a dark-brown color, and I have noticed this to a greater extent this year than in years before. The Eureka lemon has the merit, however, of bein| nearly seedless and the tree thornless an a good bearer, and if the Eureka is mar- keted early shonld find perhaps as good sale as the Lisbon. _As is generally known by lemon-growers I formerly rather pre- ferred the FEureka variety, and thus planted my lemons for market, but I have no desire to conceal my present preference. I cannot speak of Villa E‘ranca lemons, for I have had no experience with them. WILL OPPOSE REDUCTIONS A Prominent Official Defines the Position of the Railroad. NOT AFTER THE COMMISSION. But It Is the Purpose of the Com- pany to Test the Legality of Its Acts. When the attention of a prominent offi- cial of the Southern Pacific Company was yesterday drawn to the interview in THE CALL with Commissioner Stanton, wherein the latter stated that the railroad company was issuing new rate schedules without notifying the commission, and that it ap- peared to be the policy of the company to ignore the commission with the ultimate purpose of questioning its legal standing, he satd: The question is not so much as to the legality of the commission as to the legality of the acts of the commission. By a majority vote the board has declared its intention {o put into force freight schedules by January 1 next, making an everage reduction of 25 per cent on existing rates. Any one knows that the com- pany cannot stand any such reduction, nor could any other business or industry in_ the State existif such a reduction was made at oncein its earnings or profits. The reduction proposed by the commission is simply confisca- tory of railroad property. The commission has no power to confiscate this property. It isun- fortunate that the commission has undertaken to do what the courts have repeatedly decided it has no right to do. In order that the com- mission may accomplish any good for the people, it must confine itself within the powers ven it by law. The railroad company cannot blamed for insisting that the commission shall not do what it has no right to do. In view of the fact that the foregoing statement came from a gentleman high in the councils of the railroad it unmistaka- bly appears that the railroad company in- tends to take the matter of the proposed 25 per cent reduction on freight rates into court whenever it becomes necessary to prevent such reductions going into force. In reference to the action of the compan, in issning new rate schedules without noti- fying the commission, as it was charged with doing by Commissioner_ Stanton, it was impossible to get any definite informa- tion as to whether or not this was being done with premeditation or as to the im- port of such a proceeding. Assistant General Manager Curtis was first questioned concerning this and said such action would not necessarily come under his notice, but would properly be done under the direction of General Traffic Agent Smurr, When Mr. Smurr was asked about the matter he admitted that if any such action had been taken it was done over his signa- ture. He then quickly added that all pro- ceedings relative to the recent action of the Railroad Commission were now taken only under the direction of the law de- gflrtment of the company. But William . Herrin, the head of thecompany’s legal corps, refused to have anything to say on this subject for publication, but said the railroad company was simply acting with- in what it deemed was the law. According to a statement published in an evening newspaper vesterday there ap- pears to be a misconception as to when the new reduced rates on grain go into effect. It was stated that these rates would go into effect to-day. This is a mistake, for the twenty days’ notice begins to run-only after a printed copy of the revised rates has been served on the comvpany. The assumption under which the mistake was made was that the twenty days’ notice ran from the date of . the adoption of the resolution. This printed copy of the reduced grain rates was served on the company on the 26th day of September, and therefore the new ratés do not go into effect until October 16. ‘When the commission meets at 1 o’clock to-day its first business will be the con- sideration of an amendment to the graiu rates, adjusting discriminations in the Sacramento, Salinas and San Joaquin vallers. It is calculated that the relief that will be afforded by the adoption of this amendment will be greater than that which will result from the 8 per cent hori- zontal reduction on grain SALVATION TABLEAUX. The Army Will Present a Series of Living Pictures. There will be a novel service at the Sal- vation Army headquarters during what is known as the week of self-denial, Novem- ber 11 to 18. It will consist of a series of living pictures. The trades will be represented by a kind of working exhibit. Masons and stone- cuiters will ply their trade in the midst of realistic accessories. Blacksmiths - will fashion bona fide shoes, and cobblers will ““half sole” while they tell of the goodness of the Lord. Last year $35.000 was raised through ab- stinence from Juxuries during that week by the army throughout the United States, and it is expected that a Jarger sum wiil be saved this year. ' Brigadier Keppel and Staff Captain Mc- Intyre have returned from the councils at Sacramento and Woodland, and are en- thusiastic about the interest in their work in the capital city. John Millsaps, editor of the War Cry, left yesterday for New York to take charge of the army organ in that city. T0 SOME EMPLOYERS, You have heard of “Whirlwinds” who were worth A HUNDRED DOLLARS A MINUTE—men who could sell more goods in that one min- ute than any ordinary sales- manat say amodest thirty dol- lars a week could dispose of in a year. Perhaps you as an employer have been un- lucky enough to let enthu- siasm get the better of judg- ment. Well, it can’t be helped. Your “star sales- man” has burned money for you. The same thing is true about medicines. T0 SOME EMPLOYEES, When you hear that Messrs. John Doe & Co. are paying their men twenty per cent more than you are get- ting hadn’t you better think twice before you “strike for a rise ?” It is certain to come when you are genuinely worth it, but don’t play any “smart” games trying to make your employer believe you are shrewder or brainier than you are. Honesty is the best policy for you. In medicines let the same rules guide you when you are “under the weather.” Get an HONEST medicine. If your nerves suffer you evidently want celery ; if your stomach is out of order you want a sustenant, and if your blood needs purifying or en- riching it needs iron. DR.
