HOW TO AVOID (OLD WEATHER ! DISEASES To prevent cold weather diseases, put your body into a proper healthy condition to successfully resist them. Colds, grippe, bronchitis, pneumonia, chtarrh, typhoid fever, rheumatism and other ailments may be escaped in most cases, if this is done.

The Englishman was attending his first ball game. He seemed very uneasy after the fifth inning and finally said to his American friend: ; "I say, old chap, when do they serve i the tea?" "They don't serve tea at ( a ball game," laughed the American. . "No tea between innings?" gasped the I Englishman.

This mental ecstasy, \ ^ /! o however, was i /rtSi 1 made before meet^ * inS the "Melican i /jn-rf That day of /I I I ( memories Wing I ' I i drove a satisfactory oargain, filching a shirt without notico being taken thereof. Carrying his empty basket down the street he figured the gain and was content, and that 6ame instant ho caught the first glimpse of his destiny. She was standing behind the plate glass of a department store. A robe of azure gauze, price marked $8.95, Bwatbed her slender form and a polo hat of violets sat well forward above her golden "Marcel." Her cheeks mantled with the blush of maidenhood were luscious as ripe pomegranates and her round eyes, which in color matched the $8.95, grew lashee as long as a painter's brush. Wing saw and was conquered. Trailing his basket he approached the window, admiration expanding his features into a grin. Fixed as the pagodas of Nankin he stood before this daughter of the gods and drank his fill of her loveliness. Late that evening he returned to his laundry. Next afternoon he feigned 3lcknees and hurried off to State street, where his idol awaited him. A week of such devotion and Wing summed up Ms cash on hand?eight, nine, ten dollars and 40 cents. He dressed himself in Sunday clothes, rolled his pigtail into a tight knot and 3et out for the department store, where she was enslaved. "How mpchee you want your Mellcan gal?" he asked the floorwalker, moet politely. Strange to say it took some minutes to convince the addressed that an insult was not implied. Questions followed at length. Did Wing wish the figure alone, or in costume, as exhibited. To be sure he wished her clothes and all. Alas, when the price was named, including dress, bat and girl, in toto, Wing's countenance fell. He shook his head and departed with the visage of a stoic. Behind the ironing board came more calculations and Wing began to work j overtime. Months passed. The adored one changed her diaphanous voile for a smart Sreen tailor-made and the violet polo for a velvet toque. Later In the season she wore a fur cape around her shapely shoulders. The new year had been ushered in J before Wing again appeared in the j role of suitor. The savings of six j months were with him. A. new invcn- j torv was made, the price had increased | with the season. Wins deliberated, j He.was "veliy solly," but the "Melican ' gal" would have to do without her lux- > urious cape. The money being paid, the now master undaunted by jeers of the populace and occasional apple cores, i shouldered his blou 1c beauty and boro her home. Or.ce within the laundry precincts, ! Wing placed :iie beauty on a wash tul>! and arranged her gown U: correct j folds. It took niid a full half hour be- ; fore he was satisfied with the result, j Then he lighted some joss sticks and ! placed them so that site should be en- ! veloped in the perfumed smoke. Ho J next offered her a plate of rice and sooy, but the tilted nose refused to | sniff its appetizing aroma. Alas, that the lates snouia De so | cruel to lovers. A sharp ring at the telephone interrupted this amorous soliloquy. To Wing's reluctant response an irate customer demanded his washing and threatened the law. Wing shouldered a heavy basket and stole out into the night. An hour passed. The Melican gal still crowns the wash tub with statuesque grace. Then a visiting rat spreads the tale that the beauty is becoming animate. True it certainly is that the smiling rosy mouth has begun to pout. An ugly wrinkle, too, has appeared above the Bmooth brow and as the moments pass the tapering -fingers stretch and grow weirdly long.

Some forty year3 ago considerable copper was mined and shipped out of San Fernando in the southern part of Lower California, but since then not much has been done with this metal. The principal difficulties in the way of the profitable mining of copper are fuel and transportation facilities. Iron deposits have been found at several places, the principal one being at San < Isidro. but no actly# work has ever J been done. < Costly Ornamentation.
