Many Days to Come.
SAN FRANCISCO Had it not beam
for the sight of the rude altars set up
in the open air wherever San Fran
cisco's homeless thousands were
camped one would have some difficult
in finding any of the peaceful associa
tions of the Sabbath in this city.
Everywhere throughout the burned as
well as the remaining section of the
city there was the greatest activity.
Streets were being cleared of debris,
laborers were repairing broken water
pipes, sewers and gas mains, elec
tricians were everywhere seeking to
untangle the alosmt hopeless confusion
of wires in fact San Francisco was
in the first stages of its regeneration.
There are no hungry people here
now; gaunt specter has been ban'shed
by the generous response of the na
tion to the appeals that went out for
assistance. Food by the carload and
by the boatload poured into Oakland
Saturday night and Sunday in suffi
cient quantities to overwhelm the com
mittee which has in charge its distri
bution. So great was the volume of
foodstuffs brought into the general de
oot at Oakland that the general com
mittee made an appeal for skilled la
bor in the handling of these supplies.
Grocers, butchers and commission men
have been requested to secure men
who are familiar in the handling of
food stuffs in order that the confusion
attendant upon the distribution at
the scores of stations established
might go on without confusion.
The homeless people are no longer
obliged to subsist on bread and canned
stuff entirely, as they bad been during
the previous days of their trying exist
ence, but were today given hot coffee,
canned meats and even cakes and
oranges. Oranges have come in In
plentiful supply from southern Cali
fornia and the sight of California's fa
mous product was everywhere hailed
with words of delight
It must be understood by the chari
table people of -the country that there
Is a surfeit of food for the sufferers.
While the supply is abundant at this
writing It is well for the public to re
member that the homeless thousands
must be fed and cared by the or
ganized relief committees for an in
definite period. It is desired therefore
that contributions be continued until
the people who have been rendered
helpless can care for themselves.
EXTENT OF BURNED AREA.
Circumference Figured Out At About
Twenty-six Miles.
SAN FRANCISCO The Associated
Press representatives Sunday covered
the entire area of the burned section.
The circumference of the area of the
great conflagration is, as near as could
be ascertained by the markings of a
cyleometer, twenty-six miles and com
prises the entire business district and
a large section of the residence dis
trict, all of which was densely popu
lated. It was estimated today by compe
tent insurance authorities that the loss
will aggregate $300,000,000 and on this
vast amount of property the insurance
companies carried approximately $175.

their western terminals here continue

the Union Pacific and whirled on to

There was no Sunday with the rail
road men of the operating and traffic
departments. They were at their
desks from early morning until late at
night, directing the shipment of stores
that were constantly arriving.

RESULT OF WIND ON SHINS
Exposure of Front of the Leg to
Draughts Frequently Pro
ductive of Cold.
"It Is not generally known." says the
British Journal of Nursing, "how fre
quently a bad cold is induced by cold
ness of the shins, due to thin stocking3,
or by their exposure to draughts in a
railway train or in other chilly convey
ances. "The blood vessels on the front of
the shin are peculiarly exposed to such
influences, because the skin covering
them is so thin, and thus it can easily
be understood that such exposure to
cold on the front of the leg may chill
the blood circulating through it as
thoroughly as the evaporation of wa
ter from wet boots or clothing can Ao.

TERRORS OF THE TEAPOT.
Bye Troubles, Among Other Affec
tions, Result from Tea
Drinking.
Physicians are only beginning to
realize the apparently remote causes
that go to produce a local affliction.
The average layman certainly would
not think of attributing sore eyes to
tea drinking. Yet it has recently been
asserted by one of the physicians of
the New xork Postgraduate medical
school' that a large proportion of the
patients who find their way into tha
eye clinics ewe their trouble to the
teapot which stands always simmer
ing on the tenement house stove.
The tea. of course, does not go di
rectly to the eyes. What actually hap
pens is that persons who drink too
much of it are improperly nourished,
so that when a tiny cinder or speck of
dust breaks through the feeble 'tissues
there follow complications which call
for the skill of the best surgeon. A
host of other ailments, so the post
graduate physicians find, are dae to
the same cause, excessive devotion to
the "cup that cheers but mot inebri
ates." As a matter of sober fact the In
ebriety among confirmed tea drinkers
Is said to be hardly less deadly than
that among tne victims of alcoholism.
As every teacher knows, thousands of
children come to school improperly
prepared for their work because they
have access to the family teapot
AUTOMATIC RESTAURANTS.
Ingenious Contrivance in Berlin
Which Does Away with Tips
and Delays.
In the Technical World Magazine
Friz Morris describes the ingenious
automatic restaurants which have re
cently been introduced in Berlin.
"Cabinets with glass fronts line the
walls," Mr. Morris writes, "and through
these glass fronts are to be seen rows
and rows of little elevators, with the
slots and mechanism for working
them. On one side of the restaurant
is fitted an 'automat' bar. where, by
dropping the indicated price Into the
proper slot, the wished-for drink come3
to the waiting customer. Shelves, al!
i around, on the little elevators, bring up
;hot soups, roasts, cold meats, pie-.',
, sandwiches, tea, coffee in fact what
ever is on the menu, and that is
, changed daily. All the customer has
to do Is to decide what he wants, drop
his coin in the little opening, and
await results. In less than a minute
up comes his meal, raised by electrici
and it comes either steaming hot or ice
and it comes either steaming hot or ice
cold, just as ordered, and clean, fresh
and sweet, with no dirty-handed wait
er, with black cuffs and greasy nap-
kin, to take your appetite away while
handing it to you."
No Need of It
"Can't I sell you a painless corm
cure, madam?" said the peddler.
"No, you can't!" snapped the woman
of the house. "I have no painless

full of joy. This is the great secret
of the inner life. We do ourselves the
most good doing something fer oth
ers. Horace Mann.

Civil war was the capture of Fort
