THE SAN FRANCde CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1904 ADVERTISEMENTS. DYSPEPSIA OF WOMEN Requires Treatment Which Acts in Harmony with the Female System. A great manK W, treatment. scribed do not seem to restore the patient’s normal condition. Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a kind of dyspepsia that is caused by derangement of the female organism, and which while it causes disturbance similar to ordinary indigestion cannot be relieved without a medicine which not only acts 2{ as a stomach tonic, but has peculiar utero-tonic effects as well; in other words, a derangement of the female organs may have AL and it cannot be relieved . i { Q) such a disturbing effect upon a woman’s whole system as to cause serious indigestion and dyspepsia, women ‘suffer with a form of indigestion or dyspepsia which does not seem to yield to ordinary medical ile the symptoms seem to be similar to those of ordinary indigestion, yet the medicines universally pre- 1’/'7[‘ B] without curing the original cause of the trouble, which seems to find its source in the pelvic organs. As proof of this theory, we call attention tp the letters from Mrs. Maggie Wright and Mrs. Emma Sawyer, w “ DEAR M=s.

Ifelt weak and nervous, and nothing I ate tasted good or felt comfortable in my stomach. I tried several dyspepsia cures, me permanently. I decided to ompound a trial, and was happily surprised to find that it acted like a fine tonic, and in a few days I begnn to enjoy and properly digest my food.

POLES ON GEARY The committee STREET. reported in favor of | requesting the Department of Elec- tricity to grant permission to the Cen- tral Light and Power Company to maintain poles for the stringing of elec- tric wires on Geary street, between Powell and Stockton thirty days. The poles were erected in | violation of an ordinance on a permit signed by President Schmitz of the Board of Public Works. Messrs. Levi- son and Vaughan of the Geary Street Improvement Ciub explained that it was intended to improve the condition of the thoroughfare, and urged the the privilege. They will confer with Chief Hewitt of the De- partment of Electricity and some agree- ment will be arrived at to insure the placing of the electric wires under- ground, the poles being used for the arc lights only. The committee ordered paid the de- mand of J. G. Harney for $16,445 12 for sweeping the streets during April. Some | question was raised as to the mrrech: ness of the bill, because it far exceeded | the sums paid for the work during pre- vious months in spite of the fact that it | rajned frequently during April. In-| spector Cowden testified that the sweeping was done according to con- tract, and remarked that the appro- priation is not sufficient to do the work as it should be done. TO CLOSE THOROUGHFARE. The petition of Islais Creek property | owners to construct a drawbridge over Kentucky street at its intersection | with the creek, and also to open Tlii- | pols street, was taken under advise- ment. The committee recommended passage of the resolution granting’ per- mission to the Santa Fe Railway sys- tem to close Eighteenth street, from Minnesota to Towa streets, for one year, | in order to build a viaduct, on condi- tion that the company build a tempor- ary road over which fire department | apparatus could reach Southern | Heights. The committee reported in favor of street and sewer work on Park Hiil avenue, Tilden street, J street between Fourteenth and Sixteenth avenues, Pennsylvania avenue between Nine- teenth and Twentieth streets and the acceptance of Greenwich street between Gough and Octavia, Merchant street between Kearny and Montgomery and Gough street between Greenwich and Lombard. ———— Unknown Man Drowned. Frank Travasallo and Domenico Monchello, fishermen, found the body of an unidentified drowned man float- ing in the bay yesterday morning near Fisherman's wharf. The body had not been in the water more than twenty-four hours. It was that of a man gbout 65 years old, with gray hair, chin whiskers and gray eyes. All the upper teeth were missing and two in the front of the lower jow. ————— The Satisfactory Way. “The pleasure is mine,” said the engi- neer, as he brought the train into Chi- cago on time to the second. “From San Fmancisco here the pleas- ure has been mine,” sald the merchant to his son. “The ‘California Limited’ is the finest train I have ever traveled on.” for a period of the | Street Committee | ween the tracks | | that there | Supervisors’ office during office hours Moral: The Santa Fe is the Satisfac- tory Way.

Woodward, ap- peared before the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors yesterday morning to submit their money requi- sitions for the following fiscal year. The total amount required by the ! Board of Public Works this year is $2,846,541 50, while the Auditor has| ended that it be allow t 2, an increase of $154,255 on last year’s budget. | Herbert Schmitz, president of the | Board of Works, maintains, however, | are many permanent im- provements that are sadly needed in the city, but that have been neglected through lack:of funds. He says that | $2,300,000 was asked for last year, | while only $769,867 was given the | board. The first step taken vesterday morn- } ing toward the investigation of the fig- | ures was a close study of the payroll | of Jthe Board of Works. Supervisor | Brandenstein found that a resolution | of the Board of Supervisors to the ef- i fect that the salaries of office employes be reduced had been entirely ignored | and that in several cases the salaries | had been raised. In one case the | salary, of a bookkeeper had been raised | from $1800 to $2100 per annum.| Schmitz averred that he had at the time of the change strongly opposed it, but that his voice was overruled by a large majority. | A recent raise of the salary of Morris Levy, secretary of the Board of Public Works, caused considerable | comment from Brandenstein, who said: “Personally I have nothing against Mr. Levy, but time and again | I have seen him hanging around the waliting for a permit to give a prize- fight.” WOULD CONSOLIDATE OFFICES. Supervisor d’Ancona suggested that if the entire Department of Public ‘Works should be consolidated into one large office the expense might be de- creased, as one force of office em- ployes might then attend to all the business of the department. The idea | was quickly cast aside after a strenu- ous objection from Commissioner Casey. No further work was done in the morning session and the committee adjourned until afternoon. The after- noon session opened with a heated argument upon the merits of the civil service charter. It developed during the investiga- tion that three men were employed on the Fourth and the Sixth street bridges in the roles of assistant engi- neers, but that their work consisted of “bridge tending.” There is no list of assistant engineers on the civil ser- vice list and in this way the Board of Works avoided employing civil ser- vice men. Michael Casey on being questioned said that civil service had not always proved a success and that in many cases it has been little more than a farce. OFFICIALS QUARREL. Supervisor Braunhart strongly de- nounced Schmitz for employing the men, and, considerable arguing from both sides, he said: “Of course, Mr. Schmitz, I Know that the violation of the charter has been purely accidental on your part, and I know, sir, that you would not engage for a moment in any political scheme—Oh, no!’ Schmitz said: “Well, never mind about that. We all know what you'd do; what you always have done, and what you will do when given the chance. 1 think it would be a good plan if yvou would change the brand of your cigars.” Braunhart hotly told - Schmitz to keep a civil tofigue in his head, when further argument was prevented by Chairman Brandenstein, who called the men to order. Braunhart said later that the Board! of Public Works had prepared ‘its requisition in better style than any board that has yet come before the committee and that only in the one case regarding the civil service mat- ter had he any cause to find fault. The committee adjourned the meet- ing until Monday morning, when the subject will again be taken up. P S N R The Traveler's Comfort First.

SCOTT TAKES BROOKS' PLACE The Board of Education yesterday formally accepted the resignation of Elisha Brooks as principal of the 3irls’ High School and appointed Dr. A. W. Scott to the vacancy, as already announced. The proceedings of the board on the matter are contained in the following resolutions: Whereas. Elisha Brooks, principal of the Giris' High School. has submitted his resig- nation of said position to this department, and Whereas, Mr. Brooks assumed said prin- hip July 1, 1892, and has since that his_scholarly attainments and the exer: of ability of a high administrative order not only entrenched himself in fection of the scholars who attended his but also commanded the respect and dence of all with whom he came in conta as_principal of said school; therefore be it | Resolved, That the resignation of Elieha Brooks, as principal of the Girls' High School be and is hereby accepted with regret, the same to take effect July 25, 1904, subject to the condition that Mr. Brooks be piaced on the retired list in order that he may avail him- self of the provisions of the act to create and administer a public school teachers' annuity and retirement fund. NAMES SUCCESSOR. Resolved, That Arthur W. Scott, M. D., be and he is hereby appointed principal of tie Girls' High School subject to two vears® pr on, the same fo take effect upon the con- ditions contained in the resignation of Elisha Brooks, as principal of sald school, becoming operative. As the system of appointing teach- ers to the graded classes of the San Francisco School Department for the past two years has through the medium of civil service examinations proved an unqualified success, the board decided to make it a permanent feature and adopted a resolution as follows: Resolved, The Board of Education shall con- duct annually a_competitive examination for appointments to the substitute Iist. Al teach- ers desiring to enter such examinations shall be required to take both a written and an oral examination on the practice and theory of edu- | | cation and such other topics &s may from | time to time be announced. BOARD ISSUES PAMPHLETS. The board is now issuing pamphlets | containing the plan of appointment of teachers in the competitive examina- | tion to be held June 11, 1904. The plan was formally adopted at the meeting and is identical with that of last year, except that it provides for a morning and afternoon session, at each | | of which five questions will be pro- pounded. The oral examinations of those who take the written test will begin June 13. Several applications were filed. The flag was ordered displayed from schoolhouses Tuesday, June 14, 1904, this date being the one hundred and twenty-seventh anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the national emblem of the American States. State Controller Colgan notifled the board that the amount now in the State school land fund is $754,275 74. Chief Census Marshal Atkinson in- formed the board that the work -of compiling the school census is pro- gressing and that it will show an in- crease over 1903. The cost of the work so far aggregates $6800. e U gia Check Was Worthless. M. F. Morrissey, a longshoreman, was arrested yesterday by Policeman Dowd and booked at the City Prison on a charge of passing a fictitious check.s It is alléged that on Tuesday Morrissey cashed a check with L. Hin- rickson, saloon-keepepr, 286 East street, for 83263 on the Canadian Bank of Commerce purporting to be gigned by R. M. Lynes, and that no such person has an account with the bank. —_—— A Book Worth Having. That this is an age of condensation is further proven by the popularity of the Pocket Direc- tory of the American Press, issued annually by Lord & Thomas, the famous advertising firm of Chicago and New York. The 1804 fssue is just out. It contains an amount af information concerning the publi- cations of the United States, Canada, the Philippines, etc., that would ordinarily require a volume as big as Webster's Unabridged, con- Gdensed to fit into a pigeon-hole-size book. con- venlently arranged and classified Systematic boiling down has not lessened its completeness. This work should prove invaluable to all general advertisers. To Iluminate Market Street. The Supervisors’ Electricity Com- mittee vesterday reported in favor of granting permission to the Knights Templar to illuminate Market street during its forthcoming conclave. For that purpose the committee ordered the purchase of 100 additional poles to extend the scheme of illumihation from Second street to the ferries. | Wants Rafts and Bathing Cabins. | AN INSPIRING SIGHT.
