A Free Trial Package Sent by Mail to All Who Write. Free trial packages of a most remark- able remedy are being mailed to all who will write the State Medical Institute. They cured so many men who had bat- ed for years against the mental and physical suffering of lost manhood that the institute has decided to distribute free trial packages to all who write. It is a home treatment, and all men who | suffer with any fo of sexual weakness | resulting from youthful folly, premature loss of strength and memory, weak back, varicocele or emaciation of parts can now cure themselves at home. The remedy has a peculiarly grateful effect of warmth and seems to act direct to the desired location, giving strength | and development just where it is needed. | It cures all the ills and troubles that | come from years of misuse of the nat- | ural functions and has been an absolute | success in all cases. A uest to. the !Buu\ Medical Institute, 335 Elektron bullding, Fort Wayne, Ind., stating that | you desire one of their free trial pack- ages will be complied with promptly. The | Institute is desirous of reaching that | great class ¢f men who are unable to | Jeave home to be treated, and the free | | sample will enable them to see how easy | it is to be cured of sexual weakness when | the proper remedies are employed. = The | Institute makes\ no restrictions. Any man | who writes will be sent a ‘ree sample, carefully sealed in a plain package, so that its reciplent need have no fear of embarrassment or publicity.

This bit of evidence is supposed to dove- tall with the story of the meeting of Mrs. tra!\'en-Fah’. the Senator and Notary Talg. “Touched” the Senator for $50. He remembered the date of the meeilng at Fair’s office from the fact that he went there that day to make a ‘‘touch” and got it. He needed the money to send a young woman named June Payne back to her home in Sait Lake City. He bought her a firsi-class ticket at the Seventh- street depot, Oakland, but he did not re- member that her name was on the cou- on.

AL The Call’s Effort to Protect San Fran- cisco’s Shipping Interests Is Crowned With Complete Success. P L In the bill which is regularly Introduced making appropriations for the Hydrographic Office there was in- troduced this year 2 clause that sald “no expenditure shall be incurred or author- | 1zed for personal service, or otherwise, un- der the Hydrographic Office during the fiscal year 11 except as herein author- 1zed by appropriations under the Navy Department, or under appropriations that may be made for printing and binding." In other words the running expenses of the Hydrographic Office were to be so cut down that it would have been impossible to pay the salaries and other expenses necessary for maintaining the branch of- fices in the different seaport cities throughout the United States, ese offices are o eat and’ the aid they affofd (o snr'l“"ifé?-l’;:: tion cannot be too highly estimated, - It appeared that the reduction of the ap- propriation, which would have amounted to something over $84,000, was a measure of false economy, which would have cost | the country far more than that sum in the long run, through the losses our ship- ping would suffer, deprived of the Infor- mation collected thrnush the help of the branch Hydrographic Office in this city. The Call. readily enlisted itself in the effort to secure the restoration of the necessary appropriation, so that the office here might be continued and the seafar- ing interests in and out of San Fyrancisco be afforded the much-appreciated help it has always recelved. How well The Call succeeded In its effort will be seen by the following telegram, which was re. celved last night: WASHINGTON, D, John_D, Spreckels, San Francisco Call, San Francieco, Cal.: Appropriation for Hydrographlc Office restored and restric- tions of payment for personal services ra- moved by Senate Committee on Appropri tions in appropriation bill reported to Benate to-day.
