Allan Box and Miss Florence Moore
have been unceasing in their endeavor,
and the result is eminently gratifying.
Many pictures are shown which have
not been seen in the west before, and
some of the older and more familiar
prints are given additional interest and
value by reason of the possibilities for
comparison afforded by the entire col
lection.
The Whistler group is of great Inter
est to all visitors, and the committee
in charge of the exhibit is delighted
with the characteristic representation
of the works of this artist. There arc
nfteen pictures from his pen and two
prints which are especially good are
"The Lime Burner" and "Kotherithe."
"Bibi Lalouette" is another one of this
number which makes an instant appeal
to the observer.
Joseph Pennell, the greatest living
etcher, is represented by about a score
of pictures, which include the famous
New York series, 1905; Illustrations of
the Spanish series; the J.ond<>n series,
1891; the London series, 1906, and throe
from the Pittsburg scries. 1909.
Charles A. Platt, a New Yorker,
shows a number of illustration* of the
Atlantic seaboard, and two which are
considered among the best examples <>r
ins work arc "kue de Menu Cenis,"
"Monmartre" and "Under the Pont Ma
rie. Paris." i
The thumbnail sketches of Donald
Shaw McLaughlln also attract much

there are two, the "Mill of St. Maurice"

CITY MUST LAY PIPES
OR LOSE BIG RESERVOIR
Mayor Warns Council That Land
Near Eastlake Park May Re
vert to Former Owners
Unless the council ran provide
for tlie i>;trk department t" lay water
pipes to the old reservoir site north of
ISaatlake park, the reservoir property
will revert to the former owners, in I
the substance or a message the mayor
has .sent to the city council. The I
mayor asked that this sum be pro
vided, aw the land Is most valuable and
I the city should not let It slip through
Its fingers so easily. Ho says:
"The property known as the old rfes
ervolr, located north of Rastlakp park,
near the Indian village, is held by the
city under a condition that, if it be
use,l for any other than reservoir pur-
I poses, or if it be abandoned as a res
i ervoir, it shall revert to the former
j owners. This reservoir lias been used
I by the park department for the pur
■ pose of collecting tha storm water of
| that vicinity and using it for park pur
poses. This storm water has not been
sufficient to keep the reservoir in use
the year round. At the present time it
is practically dry, and the former own
era or their successors in interest are
now claiming an abandonment on the
part of the city.
"In order to hold the property it
is necessary for tho city to keep the
reservoir in use, and this may be done
by utilizing the -waste water or over
flow from the pipes of the water de
partment at North Slain and QatOS
streets. In order to obtain this over
flow water it will be necessary for tho
park department to lay pipes from the
point to this old reservoir, a distance of
about 3600 feet. The estimated cost
of this work is $2000. As this old res
ervoir is of great value to thn parks,
I would respectfully reecommond that
your honorable body provide funds for
the laying of this plpci"
STEWART OFFERS A NOVEL
INDUSTRIAL TANGLE PLAN
Each Member of Committee to
Write His Own Report
Councilman G. H. Stewart, chair
man of the public welfare committee,
yesterday suggested a novel method
of settling the industrial district dis
putes.
The matter of establishing these dis
tricts has been before the committee
almost since the council's election,
I but no definite conclusion has been
i reached. Every member of the com
mittee has a dlffeient view of the sub
ject and Mr. Stewart proposes hut
each of the three members shall sub
mit his plans in a report to be written
by himself.
These reports are to be ready by
next Monday and if any two of them
agree those two shall be considered
i the report of the committee. If no
I two of them agree, which Is more
! likely to lie the case, all three are to
j be submitted to the council Tuesday
and the council told to take its choice.
TRANSFER SPANISH CONSUL
MADRID, Dec. 15.—P. Diaz Cobslo,
Spanish consul general at Constanti
nople, has been appointed consul gen
eral at New York.
WORKS BOARD DEMANDS
EMPLOYES GIVE BONDS
Heads of City Departments Must
Have Financial Backing
Determined that lax bookkeeping
shall not make their bondsmen respon
sible for possible money shortages the
board of public works has Issued an
order that all the heads of departments
under their jurisdiction must give
bonds.
Nearly all the heads of departments
have been under bonds, but F. J. Palo
mares, assessment clerk, and W. O.
! .Schrelber, clerk of the opening and
; widening of streets, have been told to
. provide themselves with sureties and
the bond of R. H. Manahan, city elee
trlclnn, lias been Increased from $1000
to $2000. Palomares must furnish $2500
and Schrelber $8000. If they give surety
company bonds they must pay the
premium demanded from their own
salartca and at no expense to the city.
ah these officials receive public
money, The electrician collects fees for
electrical permits. Palomares and
Sehrelber receive money paid in for
street assessments.
While there has been no question of
the Integrity of any of these men,
members of the board are responsible
for them and should there .be any
shortage would have to make pood
the amounts or the city could collect
from their bondsmen.

I Most Important That You Drink |
Puritas Distilled Water at
\ This Time of the Year
At No Time Are Natural Waters
More Liable to Impurity Than
During the Fall
Her* Are Sninp of the Unison* for It
During the fall and early winter in
Southern ralifornla you ought to avoid
drinking the natural waters. At no
lime is their liability to impurity so
great. This can be readily seen.
If the rains have not yet come, the
streams are running at their lo'weat.
Flowing through an alkaline noil, they
take up largo amounts of thiß mineral
matter. Then, too. tho decaying veg
etable matter of summer impregnates
the whole stream.
If the rains have come, then the con
dition is even worse, for the rain has
washed the soil—dry through so many
months, and the impurities thus washed
away are in the streams—and many of
them are of such a character that no
mechanical device will rid the water
of them.
Good judgment indicates Puritas
Distilled Water as tho ideal drinking
water the year round. Especially is
Puritas necessary during the fall and
winter. Puritas is absolutely pure
water. When you drink Purltas you
need hive no fear of the evil effects
of impurities—mineral, vegetable and
bacterial—so generally found in natural
sources of supply.
We distill Purlta3 twice—double dis
tillation is essential to water purity.
j We aerate It with pure ozone—secured
by passing a current of electricity
I through filtered air. We bottle Puritas
in clean, glass demijohns—it reaches
you with all its wholesome purity ln
tact.
Puritas is easy to secure and very
inexpensive. Five gallons cost but 40c,
delivered within the old city boundary
lines. At outside points the cost is a
trifle more, owing to the long haul.
Regular Puritas customers purchase
Coupon Books, thus securing the pure
water at a discount. When you tele
phone, usk us about them. Home 10053;
; Sunset, Main 8191.
Puritas can be secured through deal
ers, in most towns in Southern Cali
fornia. If you are unable to tlnd it
readily, rto nut accept any substitute.
Just communicate with ua and we will
see that you are supplied with Puritas.
