NOW is the time everybody is deciding what
to take for a spring medicine. That remedy
should be taken which has the best record,
gives the best results, makes the most cures.
DIR. Greenes Nervura hlosd and nerve remedy
stands preeminent as the greatest medical dis
covery of the age. 1t has demonstrated by its
countless cures among prominent and famous
personages whom everybody knows, as well as
among the common people everywhere, that
its record stands highest among medicines,
that its results are unequalled and unriyalled,
and that no other remedy in the world ever
made so many cures, such wonderful restor-
atoms to heath as Dr.. Greene's Neryura blood
and nerve remedy. This is the reason DR..
Greene's NeryuTa blood and nerve remedy
should be used now-frst, because it is the
greatest and grandest medicine on earth, and
second, because every body needs spring
medicine, and DR.. Greene's Neryura is the
best and surest remedy possible to take. Hon.

full cures. He says -
81 have known of DIR. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy for many years, and
of many cases where great benefit has been de-

lady who was bed-ridden and on whom all
other remedies had failed, who used it and got
great help. She now goes around the house
and is comfortable. All the reports that have
come to my knowledge, put Dr.. Greene's Ner-

in the line of popular remedies. My wife's
mother has used it. She was troubled with
nervousness and general debility and was much
benefited. She now sleeps quietly after using.

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
Buddhistic Law Expounded Before the
Theosophists

A lecture on the "Ten Command
ments of Buddhism" was delivered last
night by VIII c. Bailey of San Francisco
at the Odd Fellows building. The speak
er said that the Buddhist reversed the
order Of the Mosaic commandments and
gave first the duties of man to man, and
by taking that which was most familiar
and appealed to the mind of all, the steps
led gradually up toward the duty of the
infinite. Thus the Buddhistic method
was the natural plan of growth from the
known to the unknown.
Another characteristic of the Oriental
law was that each commandment con-
sisted of a couplet, one-haif saying thou
shalt not' and the other thou shall"
Thus not only was given the direction
how to avoid evil, but also to overcome
evil already encountered. While on the
whole the commandments handed down
by Moses and those taught by the Budd
ha may be considered companion pieces,
the Buddhistic law is more comprehen-
sive than that of Moses and is especially
appropriate to the present condition of
affairs.
Mr. Bailey's last lecture will be given
before the Theosophical society in the
same hall on Sunday evening. Subject:
Whom Did Jesus Worship"

SANTA CLAUS ARRESTED
The Little Old Man Gets Into Trouble
for Carrying Sign

Old Santa Claus probably has poor
opinion Of Los Angeles after his expert
ence here yesterday. He had heard
great deal about our beautiful city and
wanted to see the children of the angels
once before Christmas. Accordingly he
left his snow castle away off in Reindeer
land and started out to make the city a
visit. Tired and hungry and with great
patches of shining snow that resembled
white cotton blossoms still adhering to
his fur coat he arrived here about
o'clock. He had not proceeded far down
Spring street when he was accosted by
a burly policeman, who told Old Chris
that he might consider himself under
arrest. OF course Santa Claus didn't
understand this peculiar proceeding, but
like a good citizen he accompanied the
officer to the police station. He regis
tered at the desk as Frank Lee. Be-
cause Santa Claus carried a sign with
the Hub Clothing company's name on
it he was charged with violating the
advertising ordinance. Justice Morri-
son fined Santa Claus 81, which the little
old man paid with much bluster and ado.

WILLIAMS WAY
It Approaches Too Near Dictation to
Suit Justice Morrison

When the case of Frank Howard, who
pleaded guilty to q charge of petit lar
ceny, came up for sentence yesterday
before Justice Morrison the defendants
attorney, Hugh Crawford, arose and
stated that he had made arrangements
with Deputy District Attorney Williams
that his client should receive not more
than thirty day sentence if he pleaded
guilty. Justice Morrison quickly an
swered by inquiring by what authority
Mr.. Williams had been able to state
what the punishment of a criminal
should be. Mr.. Crawford said that he
did not know what authority the deputy
district attorney had exercised, but re-
peated that the agreement had been en-
tered into and stated that he expected
it to be carried out in good faith.
Justice Morrison then stated in une-
quivocal language that he did not pro-
pose to be dictated to in the discharge of
his duties by the member of the district
attorneys office referred to- He said
that Howard had pleaded guilty and un-
doubtedly deserved a longer term than
that designated and should have it If he
were to pronounce sentence upon him.
The defendant was then informed that
he might change Iis plea if he so desired
He took advantage of the opportunity
offered and asked for a jury trial. The
case was set for the 31st inst
Frank Howard and r. jackson were
arrested together for stealing bicycle.
They were equally guilty. 1t was ar
ranged, however, that Howard should
take all the blame. Jackson asked for a
jury trial. Assistant District Attorney
Chambers was busy with another case
and Deputy Williams took charge of the
prosecution. He remained only during
the impaneling of the jury and then the
case was turned over to Chambers. 1t
was during this time that Crawford
states he made the arrangement with
Williams to have his clients punish
ment fixed at thirty days.

HE LOST HIS TEMPER
Col. Simms' Hereditary Proclivity for
Swearing Asserts Itself

A tricycle. propelled by both foot and
hand power was the indirect cause of a
Virginia gentleman's loss of temper and
his ultimate arrest for disturbing the
peace yesterday. The old man, who is
known as Col. G. w. M. Simms,, owner
and inventor of the three wheeled mo-
torcycle, for which a patent has been
applied for, started out on a trial trip
yesterday afternoon with the not very
laudable purpose in view of sampling
the contents Of every saloon on Spring
street between First and Sixth. At
Fifth and Spring, however, the cycle.
which was, of course, too large to ''step
to the barr with it's owner, was left on
the curb outside, Immediately becoming
the center of curiosity for a mischiev-
iously inclined trio of newsboys. The
irate and befuddled colonel heard the
racket and made a bee-line for the en-
emy.
Then on the ears of the passers-by In
the vicinity fell conglomeratf6n of the
most exquisite and forcible invectives
ever experienced in this land Of sunshine.

fumes and, incidentally the cries of hys-
terical women. He executed strategic

From the notes of his '1og book" Mr..
Franklin also gathers that the '94 cold
spell was remarkable not only for it's
low night temperature, but for the lack
of sufficient warmth during the days to
admit of plants recovering from the
night chill. In this respect also compar-
ison with the maximum temperatures
of the present cold spell show marked
similarity, and while one may not meas
ure orange frost results by thermom-
eter alone, all other essential points con-
sidered, 1t appears reasonable to calcu-
late as great a loss resultant from the
present cold snap as from that of '94.
This conviction becomes more firmly
grounded when it is considered that the
present cold spell is colder than that of
'94, and that it has now continued as
long until all the latent heat of the fruit
is exhausted and that Mr. Franklin's
latest forecast carries the ominous
prophecy: killing frost tonight and
probable serious damage to citrus
fruits"
A. H. Naftzger, president of the Over
land Fruit Dispatch and also of the
Southern California fruit exchange, said
yesterday: II have had reports or seen
men today from every section Of the
orange belt except Highlands, and there
is no reason to believe that there is as
much as twenty per cent of the crop
damaged by this cold spell. 1t may be
as cold or colder as In '94, but you can't
measure orange injury with thermom-
eter. No living man can say now that
half the crop has been damaged or how
much of it Yes, admit that by the
same token cannot tell how little has
been damaged either. but have my in
formation from men know from long
experience would tell me Just how they
