WILL IMPROVE TY HOGPITAL Mayor Schmitz and the Supervisors Inspect Institution. Mayor Schmitz and Supervisors d'An- cona and Alpers of the Health and Hos- pital Committee of the Board of Super- visors made an official visit of inspection to the City and County Hospital yester- day. The need of improvements in the in- stitution as itemized by the Grand Jury in a _communication filed with the board last Monday was thoroughly investgated. Mayor Schmitz finds that the conditions as reported by the Grand Jury are cor= rect, and his Honor says that he found many other things that make the hospital a standing disgrace to the community and an outrage on the municipality. One of the results of the investigation will be the recommendation by the Mayor that a number of useless officlals em- ployed at the hospital be dispensed with. It was found that in some cases the em- ployes are not necessary, and it is quite likely that a reduction in the force will jbe made, and the saving so effected will be used to employ more nurses, of which the hospital stands sadly in need. To that end the Mayor will have a conference with the Board of Health some time next week, when the subject will be discussed and some remedy outlined. Mayor Schmitz fourd that nine employes of the hospital sleep in one room twenty by thirty feet, which he says is in viola- tion of the cubic air law. Other bad con- ditions exist, and the conference with the Board of Health will result in the correc- tion of the abuses. The Mayor will strong- ly urge that separate wards be used for the accommodation of consumptive pa- tients. The visit of inspection occupied exactly two hours, and nothing that would tend io effect an improvement in the institution was overlooked. ————— Californians in Washington. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—The following Californians have arrived at the hotels: Raleigh, L. Henry; Metropolitan, David F. Keefer; National, M. MacArthur, all of San Francisco. It probably comes to every thoughtful person at times that there are plenty of common, mediocre people, and that if one determines to, he or she can press to the front, pass the crowd and win position, fame and gold. It is largely a matter of determination and health. Many a de- termined character with brilliant possibil- ities Is held back by il health. Some find that bright, keen thoughts refuse to eome to their brains, and wonder why. The kind of brain work that makes suc- cessful professional men makes heavy draughts on the filling of the minute merve cells of the body, said filling being composed of & grayish sort of material tgue 1% omb POSTUM CEREAL. Why did YOU quit Coffee? which must be replaced day by day, or the brain and other parts of the body will not act properly. Coffee is a hidden but powerful enemy to one’s progress in life. Its subtle, nar- cotic polson weakens heart, interferes with digestion and has a definite and de- structive effect on the nervous system. People who are content to load themselves with the impediments to progress, who refuse to supply body with food and drink of the kind needed to make up for the dally disintegration of nerve and tissue, must stand aside in the race for pre- eminente. £ The ones who are. properly fed will surely win the laurels, Postum Food Coffee furnishes the glu- ten and phosphates of grain needed by Nature to nourish brain and nerves with food. It does not narcotize and tear down. It is frequently misjudged on first trial, because of improper preparation, but it will be found to be a most deliclous beverage if, after boiling commences, it be allowed to continue boiling for fifteen minutes. This is necessary to extract the food value and flavor. ¢ There are those who are entirely care- less as to what goes into the stomach, but the one who would make all his move- ments tend toward health and possible greatness cannot afford to risk adulter- ated food.or drink or even coffee. ’ bAGE MANIFESTO PLAGED ON FILE It Causes No Enthusiasm in the Republican °* Ranks. Governor Gage's declaration of his can- didacy for renomination has not produced any enthusiasm to speak of. The people secm to be about as indifferent as they were when Dr. Pardee hailed himself as an aspirant for the gubernatorial gomi- nation. What was expected to become a boom has dwindled to a boomlet. It seems to be understood that Gage's fol- lowers are not to invade Alameda County to embarrass Dr. Pardee in his efforts to win the solid support of his own county. There are no signs of any intention on the part of Dr. Pardee's supporters to make trouble for Gage in Los Angeles County. Thomas Flint Jr. is the man who puts on a war bonnet and offers bat- tle on the Governor’s own territory. There is talk of an open demonstration in Flint's favor at Los Angeles next Tuesday, al- though the fact is known that - Jesse Marks, John Lynch, John Mackenzie, ‘Walter Parker and Corney Pendleton of the Governor’s political staff are lurking near the scene of hostilities. Everywhere the supporters of Gage encounter the sen- timent that fair play in politics demands that the gubernatorial nomination of this campaign should go to some one of the candidates in Northern or Central Cali- fornia. Fight for Chief Justice. The contest for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is engaging the attention of lawyers and politiclans in Northern California. In some counties it overshad- ows the,fight for the gubernatorial nom- ination. The two men most prominently mentioned are W. H. Beatty, Chief Jus- tice, and C. H. Garoutte, Associate Jus- tice. It is said that Justice Garoutte is organizing his forces in a masterly man- ner and will go to the State convention supported by a remarkably strong body of young Californians. Justice Beatty’'s supporters are to be found mainly In the ranks of those com- monly known as conservative citizens. They lack the essive and progressive tendencies that give vim and vigor to a campaign managed by youngsters. The conservatives place their chief rellance on Beatty's distinguished services as Chief Justice. The push politicians, who are always eager to get on the winning side, are wary of the fight for Chief Jus- tice. The wise aspirants for Governor are keeping hands off. Biennial League Convention. Alden Anderson, president of the State League of Republican Clubs, gets word that a very larfa number of delegates will attend the biennial convention of the league at San Jose, April 14, 15 and 16 Nearly all of the Republican organiza- tions of Northern and Central California are preparing to send representatiyes. The demonstration at San Jose will prac- tically open the campaign. Special ef- forts are being made to bring out the best speakers of the party for the pur- pose of enlisting enthusiasm in support of Republican principles. All the candi- dates for Governor will be invited to at- tend, but is not allowable under the con- stitution of the league for the convention to indorse the aspirations of any candi- date. The rule applies to all candidates, including United States Senatorial aspir- ants. Senator Pérkins may be so diligent- ly engaged In his official duties in Wash- ington that he cannot atténd in person, but such diligence in behalf of his con- stituents will not preclude him the privi- lege of sending his political manager, George Hatton, to San Jose, to warn the delegates against the stampeding elo- quence of Samuel M. Shortridge. John J.

Frank Parsons, a student of munitipal | matters, not alone in this country, but versed in civic affairs of all the chief| cities of Europe, delivered an adress last | evening at the Academy of Sciences to one of the largest audiences seen in the hall for a long while. Mr. Parsons has | the happy faculty of keeping his hearers thoroughly interested, not alone with the subject of his discourse, but also with some happy anecdotes, of which he has a rare fund. And what is more, the pleas- antries which Mr. Parsens injects into his lecture are part and parcel of the subject under discussion. 1iue aaaress was devoted entirely to‘ municipal ownership and the lecturer won | great applause throughout the delivery | He set out to show the advantages of the | people controlling the municipal utllities, | for, said he, public ownership means | lower rates, and that, submitted, touched the pocket nerve where the Am- | erican was sensitive. He illustrated the | water rate in Oakland and other cities, and in the former he declared the rate should not be more than $8 or $10, where it is actually $75. So, continued Mr. Par- sons, pubie ownership would mean in that direction lower rates. The people might have the money which was now going intg the pockets of a monopoly. TForeign Cities More Cheaply Served. Referring to the electric light system, the speaker showed by figures and com- parison how much more reasonably are the people of foreign countries served, where the muniéipalities own and control the electric plants. It is, he said, the same with gas and the railway systems. For the former the reduction has been as much as 50 per cent, and in France the reduction in the telephone rate is one- half of what the rates were. In Germany similar conditions obtained. Since Eng- land had taken over the telegraphs, there has been a reduction of from 30 to 50 per cent in the cost to the people. ‘When the public utilities shall be part of the public service the profits will go into the public treasury and not into the pockets of a few privaté monopolists, the speaker sald. He asked why the people of this city allowed the street railways to remain in private hands. But he con- fidently expected to see the p:ople here take the street lines under their own con- trol. Their Mayor, he said, had the fire of the future in his heart and he (the Mayor) had said to him that undoubtedly the city would control the street railway. But, asked Mr. Parsons, why only ral ways? And here the lecturer pointed out that the telephone service was too high, as was also the gas charge, and as for water, well that was what he called “Wooooosh!” Public Ownership Helps Labor. ‘The novel description of the water ris- ing with a sudden burst sent the large audience into a roar of laughter. Mr. Parsons begged of them to use observa- tion in civic life and remember that pub- lic ownership meant impartiality anf just rates. He spoke of the rebates 'under peculiar and convenient circumstances by railroad companies and how the matter was_manipulated and how officials had 1ecently confessed to the methods of al- lowing rebates and showed that if the public owned the railways such thin ‘would not happen. Mr. Depew had said, and business men agreed with him, that so long as railway interests pulled against each other, so long would discrimination continue. Mr. Parsons declared that there cannot be true democracy in political life 8o long as there are private monopoiies in indus- trial life. ““When will the workingmen unite?” he asked. ‘“When will they unite and have men represent them and stand shoulder to shoulder for one common interest? ‘When will they see that they have men to honestl‘y represent them in the legis- lative bodles? Public ownership will get rid of the great engines which corrupt government and at the same time it will be the means of elevating labor.” Guard Against Diphtheria.

Til- den. Three hundred and fifty men sat at the tables. Among the guests were former Governor Robert E." Pajtison of Pennsyl- vania, W. Bourke Cockran, Representa- tive DeArmond of Missouri, Edwin M. Shepard, John E. Redmond, Lewis Nixon, Justice Willlam J. Gaynor and ex-Comp- troller Coler. A number of letters of re- gret were read. Ex-President Cleveland wrote: At a time when the beneficence and suffi- clency of principles of pure Democracy com- mend themselves so plainly to our countrymen who are honest-minded, and at a time when Democratic opportunity so palpably awaits their/ sturdy and consistent advocacy. it is espedlally appropriate that those whe profess our party falth should celebrate this anniver- sary_with enthusiasm. - In any effort to put the Democratic ship upon its true course light and Inspiration will be afforded by a contem- plation of the career of the great leader who, resisting every strange temptation and all false lights, steadfastly followed the oid and safs landmarks of Democratic triumohs, and will find their strongest hope and encourage- ment in recalling the victories won under the standard which Samuel J. Tilden held aloft. Following a brief welcome by Chalrman Metx, ex-Givernor Pattison, the first speaker, deprecated the policy of the Re- publicans in their treatment of Cuba, Porto Rico_and the Philippines. Con- | gressman DeArmond spoke in the sam | strain, and Lewis Nixon, Tammany Hall’ leader, asked for a united Dem party in Brooklyn, New York Cit the State, so that vecitory in future con- tésts would be assured. Bourke Coeckran came next. He said, after a eulogy of Tilden: Impertalism, with its imseparable object, plunder, was the issue in 1874, and it is and must be the issue now. The same predatory purposes dominated the Republican party then that dominate it now. Its defeat is as essential to the safety of the republic mow as it was then.
