ORANGE COUNTY
ANAHEIM

ANAHEIM, Dec. 13-Some time since
the board of directors of the Anaheim
Union Water company sent out lists to
the stockholders to get their signatures
agreeing to an extension Of the bounda-
ries of the water district. A sufficient
amount of stock was reported subscribed
and the board proceeded to take in the
territory, something over one thousand
acres, but the opponents of the measure
did not think enough stock was legally
signed to allow the territory to be taken
in, consequently they carried the matter
to the superior court, and on Friday
Judge Ballard sustained the general de-
murrer to the complaint, with leave to
amend. The plaintiffs elected to stand
upon their complaint instead of amend
ing, and will probably take an appeal to
the supreme court.

Ants Used to Cure Wounds - Savage
Surgery

A wounded Brazilian Indian allows GER
tain species of large ant to fasten Its
mandibles on either side OF the cash. A row
OF these unites the sides Of the aperture as
effectually, SO travellers say, as would the
needle and thread of the surgeon. This
must be terribly painful, but not SO ex-
cruciating as rheumatism, which Is easily
eradicable at the outset with Hostetter' 9
Stomach Bitters. Poisons like colchicum
and others sometimes administered for this
trouble are dangerous to experiment with.
The use of the Bitters is not dangerous
experiment but safe and pleasant GER
tainty. Dyspepsia. constipation, bilious
ness, kidney and bladder complaint and
nervousness are among the bodily troubles
remedied and prevented by the Bitters.

ducible by its USE Physicians commend II,
