The Oldest and Largest Manufacturers of Cocoa cnd Chocolate in the World. 41 HIGHEST AWARDS IN EUROPE AND AMERICA. What is the secret of their great success? Itis a very simple one. They have won and held the confidence of the great and constantly increas- ing body of consumers by always main- taining the highest standard in the quality of their cocoa and chocolate preparations, and selling them at the lowest price for which unadulterated articles of good qual- ity can be put upon the market. They receive numerous letters from housekeepers who have used their cocoa and ckocolate for many years, stating that lately, when ordering the Baker goods, other goods of greatly inferior quality have been sent to them. They find it sary, therefore, for the protection of se who want their cocoa and chocolate, to issue an emphatic warning against these fraudulent practices, "and to ask buyers to examine every package they receive and see that it bears the well-known trade-mark of “La Belle Chocola- tiere,” and the correct name of Walter Baker & Co., Ltd. Under the decisions of the United States courts, no other cocoa or chocolate is entitled to be labeled or sold as “Baker’s Cocoa” or “Baker’s Chocolate.” WALTER BAKER & CO., Ltd.

Few Pcople Know How Useful It Is | in Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that char- coal is the safest and most efficient dis- infectant and purifier in nature, but few | realize its value when taken into the| human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after| smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im-| proves the complexion, it whitens the| teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it| disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal. in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless an- tiseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozen- ges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soorf tell in a much improved- condition of the general health, better complex- ion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: “I advise Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges to all pa- tients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels and to clear the complexion | and purify the breath, mouth and threat; I also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a bhox at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, vet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart’ Absorbent Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.” B3 | when numerous of the juvenile attend- | to the members of the Sunday school, JOE ROSENBERG’S.

DICKENS' PLAY BY JUVENILES Bright Children of Pilgrim | Sunday Sechool Suceessfully Play “The Christmas Carol” e el The avproach of Yuletide was appro- priately announced to the members of the First Unitarian Church last night, ants of the Pilgrim Sunday school frolicked around a massive electric- lighted and tov-laden Christmas tree, and, together with members of the church, appeared besides in character in Miss Emily 1. Wade's adaptation of Charles Dickens’ “The Christmas ol.”” C?: was a great gathering which took | part in the seasonable festivities and the programme proved to be not only interesting but was in every sense unique. Costumes of the period of the story were worn by the characters and it| was given a perfectly intelligent and animated interpretation. And before it all there were some sparkling addresses delivered by the Rev. Bradford Leavitt, the Rev. Christopher Ruess and Charles A. Murdock, the honorary superintend- ent.

City Attorney Lane has advised the local Board of Supervisors to inform the Sacramento Board of Supervisors that he will assist in defense of an ac- tion brought by De Camp & Mosher on an alleged infringement of letters patent in the use of crude petroleum oil in the construction of roadways. Lane doubts the wisdom of making a financial contribution for the employ- ment of special counsel, inasmuch as it would establish a precedent that other counties would follow. “The city would find itself embar- rassed,” says Lane in his opinion, “by frequent requests for such financial assistance from the various counties of the State. This city has defended a large number of cases which the other political subdivisions of the State were interested in and have profited by—notably, for instance, the litigation growing out of the taxation of national bank stock—but it has sought no assistacne from other cities and counties. I further question the power of the Board of Supervisors to appropriate any money for the con- duct of litigation to which this city is not a party.” . —_————————— FIXES DAMAGES FOR BAY SHORE GRADE CHANGES City Engineer Determines Amounts to Be Paid Property-Owners by Southern Pacific Company. ! City Engineer Grunsky yesterday ! filed with the Board of Public Works his report containing an appraisement of damages due to proposed grade changes along the projected bay shore route of the Southern Pacific Com- pany. The board in turn trans- mitted it to the Board of Supervisors. The City Engineer fixes the total amount of damages at approximately $75,000. He advises that for the pro- tection of those property-owners who have not already made specific agree- ments with the railroad company, the Board of Supervisors require the com- pany to obligate itself to pay ‘the amounts he has appraised as damages to the owners of the several tracts. The obligation is also to cover the work of putting each of the streets al- ready improved into a like condition of improvement at the expense of the company. ——— ‘Wings of wealth carry no souls to-the skies.
