who gladly tell of how S.S.S. has cured
them OF blood diseases, after trying
other treatment in vain
No wonder S.S.S. has such stauuch
friends. The experience of those who
take 1t day will be the same as of
those who twenty years ago found it the
only cure. Blood diseases are obstinate,
and cannot be cured by one medicine
IN dozen which claims to cure them:
SO when S. SIS. is taken with satisfactory
results, after disappointing expert
ence with other remedies, it is not
strange that it has grateful friends by
the score.

MIR. William Sewers, of Bradford Ohio,
was cured by SIS. ten years ago of
severe blood poison, and writes that to
this day no sign of the dreadful disease
has ever returned. He says:
II had terrible blood disease which
is considered incurable, and was treated
for long time by the best physicians,
but they did me no good. The disease
seemed to get firmer hold on me, and
attacked my tongue and throat, which
were soon full of vile ulcers.
81 changed doctors several times, and
afterwards took nearly every blood rem
edy on the market, without the slightest
benefit. After FIVE years of treatment
which did ME no good whatever, was
induced to try SIS. This remedy
proved itself equal to the case. for in
few months 1 was entirely cured and my
skin was perfectly clear and smooth.
I could hardly believe that the cure was
permanent, but ten years have elapsed
and no sign of the disease has yet ap-
peared."

KABE'5 CONTEMPT CASE,
He Took Forc!b e Possession of
Little Katie Brown
Last Week.
Attorney Donzel Ston Hod That
This Was in Violation of
the Courts 0rdar.

Judge Coffey's court was the scene of q
spirited contest between Attorney Donzel
Stoney on one hand and Attorney J. 2.
Sweeney Oh the other yesterday after
noon, the case of Frank Kane, charged
with contempt of court for alleged kid
naping of minor given to its mothers s
custody by the court, being under con-
sideration.
The discussion grew out Of the guardian
ship matter of little Katie Brown. whose
father owned considerable property in his
lifetime, and concerning the disposition
Of which there has been considerable
litigation since his death.
In open court Mr.. Stoney declared that
Kane is the catspaw of Private Detective
Dillon, who lays claim to the property in
some way, and SAID that Mrs. Emma
Brown, mother of the minor claimant, il
being prosecuted by Dillon and Kane. In
this respect Mr.. Stoney was supported by
Attorney Bradley, who informed Judge
Coffey that he appeared simply as a
friend of the court and because of his de-
sire TO see justice done.
Judge Coffey plainly stated his opinion
that the money In the case accounted for
the unusual interest of so many lawyers
in the pending litigation.
Mr. Sweeney met all the allegations OF
Messrs. Stoney and Bradley with vehe-
ment deniaIs, and at one time it looked as
if he would not allow any further pro-
ceedings-
Atlast Judge Coffey said "Mr. Sweeney,
If you do not permit me to finish my re-
marks, shall commit you Cor contem pit. "
well, proceed" was Mr.. Sweenev's :
placid rejOinder, whereupon the court
mOckingiy thanked him for his courteous
consideration, and proceeded TO bestow a
castigat.on on Officer McCuIrie, one of the
representatives. OF the California Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
because of McCurrie's confession that he
had made an appointment with a young
woman to meet her in a room in the hou Sc
where Mrs Brown is lodging. 1t is a
large house, and Mrs. Browns attorneys
contend that there was nothing to show
that their client knew of McCurrie's S
doings, whether ley were good or bad.
McCurrie justified his course by explain
ing that he was that night helping the
officers for the Suppression of Vice or
some similar organization. He said the
girl told him a younger girl was in the
house, and he was making an investi-
CATION.
What were you doing running around
mashlng young women in that way?" was
Judge Coffey's crushing inquiry ''Was il
by way of diversion?'
McCurrIe appeared to be satisfied with
his part in the matter, and q continuance
in the hearing was granted until next
Thursday.

a MIX UP CASE.
Selling Liquor without a License in
the Keystone Restaurant

Selling Liquor Without a License in
the Keystone Restaurant.
The cas-, of Inez Forrest, a waitress in
the Keystone restaurant, 1907 Market
street, charged with selling liquor without

yesterday on motion OF Prosecuting A l.
torney Mogan, as ]. c. Bingham assumed
the responsib lity of any infringement OF
the law, declaring that he was the propri-
etor of the restaurant.
Bingham had also been arrested, and
the hearing of the charge against him was
fixed for Tuesday next before jury.
Sergeant Gleeson said yesterday that
the gl-l was arrested because she sold the
liquor across the counter to a policeman
In plain clothes, sent there specially to
hnd out II the law was being violated
they were acting within their rights, as
the law says "any person" selling LIQUOR
without license is liable to be arrested.
The girl is cashier in the restaurant, anu
her brother, E. l.. Forrest, is really the
owner, although Bingham, who was a
waiter there, hold a bill of sale from
Forrest. Now that Bingham had assumed
the responsibility, there was no use in
proceeding further against the Lirl.
Overtures had been made to him by
Julian Pinto, the attorney for the girl. to
consent to a fine of $40 being imposed
without an alternative, before Bingham
assumed tie responsibility. but he had
declined, as the lowest penalty was S1OO.
