Reading one day in e paper of Mrs. Pinkham’s great cures, and finding the symptoms described an- swered mine, I decided I would give Lydia ) E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a § trial. I did not sdy a word to the doctor; I bought it myself, and took it according to directions regularly for two months, and I found that I and that all pains left me, and I was my old self once more. — LiLrie E.

Lewis asked for $10,- | 000, or $2500 more than was .llowed last | year to Lhe combined non-sectarian in- stitutions of the kind in the city. The matter was taken under advisement. Fire Commissioners J. S. Parry and | J. G. Boyne occupied the next hour of the morning’s session. the committee on behalf of his depart- | ment, urging a large appropriation. He argued that two new fire houses must be built immediately in order to give the city a proper protection from fire. One of the houses, should the appro- priation permit, will be immediately installed in the Richmond district. Par- ry further asked for enough money to employ thirty more men. This would enable the firemen to work six days in the week instead of seven. Parry said that the amount needed for the extra | men would be $7500. | Brandenstein and d'Ancona simul- | taneously spoke up asking what was done with the $7500 given the Commis- sioners last year for that purpose. Par- ry replied that the money was spent in keeping additional watchmen at the different theaters and playhouses at the time following the Chicago disaster. Chief Hewitt of the Department of Electricity was asked by the commit- tee as to the number of feet of wire now laid underground; when it was laid; how much money was expended; how much wire still remained over- and how long it would be npeces- vy for him to complete the work of g down the overhead wires. Hew- itt was decidedly non-committal. He was questioned for an hour and fifteen minutes, and during that time answer- |ed one question, saying that he was not through with his work. He was dismissed with considerable laughter and a second attempt will be made on him this morning. Several of the Su- | pervisors said after the meeting that Hewitt was a good man in his office, | but not the best financier in the world nor satisfactory in answering ques- tions. The Park Commission, represented by Commissioners Lloyd and Sullivan, cupied the afternoon session. Lloy made an interesting and eloquent ap- peal asking that every cent allowable by the charter be given to the Park Commissioners. He reported the work accomplished by the Commission this vear. The committee will sit again this when the Fire Commissioners n be heard. —_— | BOARD OF EDUCATION WILL AR THREE SCHOOLS will age Thirteen More Rooms Will Be Added to Hamilton, Mission and La- fayette Buildings. The Board of Education yesterday adopted a resolution requesting the Board of Works, through the City Architect, to prepare plans and esti- mates of cost for constructing nece: ry additions to the Hamilton, Mis- sion and Lafayette school buildings. It is proposed build another wing on the westerly wing of the Hamilton school containing three rooms, a wing | of six rooms on the Mission Grammar | School and four additional rooms on | the Lafayett chool. This will do away with 1 sity of renting outside rooms. The beard consented to the transfer of a portion of the school lot on Ken- tucky and Twentieth streets to the Fire | Department for an engine house site, ves of absence were granted to ford, Rebecca Ja- Steele and N. F. Sulli- ght to their respective schools on their return. Professor Espina, who was delegated to submit an improved medial system of handwriting for the schools, re- ported that he had visited 117 class | and found the writing in general very | unsatisfactory. With few exceptions, both teachers and pupils welcome the | change from the vertical to the slant and the interest in the subject is grati- fying. Many of the teachers are both capable and talented and will become | valuable assistants in remedying the injury caused by the vertical system. | Thirty-three applications. were | ceived from tho teachers’ examination on June 11.

The committee referred to the Bud- get’ Committee the petition of prop- erty owners that Fourth street be | widened and revaved. The Board of | Works has recommended that improvement be made at a cost of $85,000. The petition of Mrs. J. A. Russall that Locust avenue be opened be- tween Franklin and Gough streets was referred to the City Attorney to advise as to the status of the avenue in the blogk named. The committee recommended the doing of street and sewer work on Church_street, Sixteenth avenue, J street, Eighth avenue, Twelfth ave- nue south, the establishment of grades on Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh avenues, Lake, West, Clay, South and Sixth streets and the acceptance of Dorland, Harrison, Duncan and Fred- erick streets and Duboce avenue be- tween certain streets designated in the resolution. ——— Humane Society Meets.

So bad are the, conditions as reported by Dr. Ra- gan and Drs. Harvey and Hughes, members of the board, were appointed a committee to inaugurate a crusade against such dairies and to take steps as they may deem necessary to compel them to be placed in sanitary condition. Dr. Ward, president of the board, declared that the only way to force owners of dairies to keep them clean was to publish their names broadcast when they did not fulfill sanitary re- quirements, as a warning to the public whom it is desired to protect. Dr., Ragan's report follows: 1 regret to give publicity to the report that the dalrles are in & very unsanitary condition, and drastlc measures should be employed by the board to remedy the existing evil. Pub- licity is mecessary to bring the dairymen to a proper realization of their duties to the public and to place before the public the facts con- nected with the dairy industry in the city and county. This report is not in the nature of a sensation, is not distorted or unduly colored, but fe the result of an earnest, unblased and careful examination of the different daires. NO SANITARY DAIRIES, There is not within the city and county of San Francised a single dairy conducted on sani- tary or hygienic principles. The gospel of cleanliness has not been preached, ncr are its Pprecepts practiced in any dairy; but the relgn of fiith flourishes throughout our dairy system. The dairy barns are as a rule dilapidated shacks, illy constructed and totally inadequate to carry out the simple principles of cleanness. The floors are filthy, covered with the incrusted accumulations of months and even years. The walls and joists which constitute the celling are begrimed and covered with layers of dirt, cobwebs, etc. There are consumed by the public in our city some 80,000 gallons of milk per day, only one- third of which, say about 20,000 or 30,000 gal- lons, comes from dairies within our county, so that we face the problem of dealing with "the milk supply outside our city and county. My information about dairies in the adfacent courn- ties leads me to believe that similar condi- tions as 1 have described above exist in these dairies also, with but few exceptions.. To bring these outside dairies with our own dairies un- der the surveillance of the Health Department 1 would euggest an increase in the corps of milk inspectors, so that We can have an accu- of the condition and conduct of all ing milk to the public of our city. ¢ this can be conducted without ingle dollar to the public of San o by imposing a emall tax upon each ¢ milk sold in the city | : 4 | TO GIVE PUBLICITY. | I would also insist that besides the arrests | which would follow a violation of our require- ments that a bulletin of the condition of all the dairies supplying milk to San Francisco be publicly exposed in the Board of Health rooms, | ¥o that. information can be given to the publi¢ regarding the condition of the different dairies. I would also suggest that the report be given monthly at each meeting of the Board of | gallon Health, so that the press may give publicity | to this, and, further I suggest that the reports | of the sanitation and conduc: of dairies be pub- Jished in our Monthly Bulletin. I am sure that the inzuguration of such a movement would result in wholesome good. At | the next meeting of the board I will furnish a | system of rules to e adopted by your board and which will form a eroundwork of a pro- posed ordinance to be submitted to the Board of Supervisors, “This condition in other counties,” said Dr. Ward, ‘may be met by mn-' demning the milk that comes from | there and is sold in this city. The committee will take steps in that direction in connection with its pro- posed crusade.” The anpointment of Dr. J. I. Stephen as Chief Emergency Surgeon was rati- fled by formal resolution of the board. The Supervisors will be asked to appropriate $4200 vearly for transpor- tation of four plumbing inspectors, two | disinfectors, one bakery inspector, two dairy inspectors and one chief food inspector.

Cormick. The plans show that a reservoir of 20,000, 000 gallons capacity on Twin Peaks will cost $400,000. A pipe line down Market street, beginning with a 30-inch | pipe and ending with a 20-inch pipe, near the foot of Market street, will cost $125,000. It is also planned to erect a | relief tank near the main reservoir at a cost of $15,000. The plans will be sub- mitted to the Supervisors’ finance com- | mittee to-day. | * A FINE NUT SET Premium to Classified Advertis- ers in Sunday Edition. | -~ THE SUNDAY CALL Has 85,000 Circulation, Princi- pally in the Homes.

Dineen Is Also Mentioned for the Place and J. Daugh- ney May Get Appointment Gossip was rife around the City Hall vesterday relative to the probable successor to Commissioner of Public ‘Works Woodward, who will resign his office to-day to assume that of City Engineer, to which he has already been appointed. It was stated by the wise ones that Frank Maestretti, at present Fire Commissioner, will be promoted to the position of Works Commissioner. When Mayor Schmitz was asked about the rumor he was non-committal and said that he had not taken up the matter and would not make the ap- ointment until next Monday. His onor further stated that neither Maestretti nor any one else had been considered for appointment. The rumor, however, would not down, notwithstanding the Mayor's declaration. The wise ones went so far as to predict that John Daughrey would take Maestretti's place when the latter is promoted. They base their conclusions on the fact that up to the last monent Daughney was to have gone on the Fire Commission last January. Daughney, however, had to give way to Boyne, but refused to accept a place on the Election Commission in- stead. Daughney was promised at the time that he would be taken care of apl if Maestretti is put on the Bjard of Works the promise will in all like- lihood be kept and the Mayor’s polit- ical obligation to him may thus be fulfilled. Another man who stands a gool chance of appointment as Works Commissioner should Maestretti not secure the plum is Jeremiah Dineen, a retired contractor and a warm per- sonal friend of the Mayor. e e— DIES ON THE SIDEWALK.—A. Obujen, proprietor of a restaurant at 1647-1649 Devisa- dero_street, died suddenly vesterday morning at 5:50 o'clock while on his way from his home, 91615 Vallejo street.
