Doctors Can't
Cure It!

Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose a patient for years on their
mercurial and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid of the disease; on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. s. s. s. is the only cure
for this terrible affection, because it is
the only remedy which goes direct to
the cause of the disease and forces it

HOW THEY DID 1T
Story of the Forgery of L. H. Greene's
Name to a Deed

The first witness in the Compton for
gerry case yesterday morning was L. H
Greene of Cincinnati, whose signature
was affixed to bogus deed on May goth
of last year, which purported to convey
to A. e. Davis of this city, for the sum
of $4,000, lot of the DAILY tract
The witness said that he had never
seen Compton, except as a prisoner; did
not know r. B. Williams and N. P.
Brown, who had witnessed his alleged
signature or P. E. King, the notary pub
lie, who, in acknowledging the deed, ap-
pended to it the statement that the per-
son whose name was subscribed to it
he knew to be l.. Fl. Greene. He denied
ever having sold the lot to any one or
having authorized anybody to sign his
name to deed conveying away to Davis
his title.
Other witnesses, among them w. NJ.
Ware, one of the co-defendants. gave
testimony directly connecting Comp
ton with the crime. Ware swore that the
prisoner on trial signed Greene's name
to the deed, and that Davis obtained the
money from the Columbia Savings
bank, of which Davis retained $3.50.
Compton pocketed $500, and the witness
received $175. The witness stuck closely
to his story on cross-eXamination.

Power at One Half It's Former Co,

Power at One Half Its Former Cost
The Wright Wave Motor has realized the
dream of the inventors of the century in
demonstrating that it is practical to trans
form the mighty intermittent power in
the ocean waves into a steady reliable
mechanical power, available for any COM
mercial purpose. and at the same time to
furnish an automatic means of self-regu-
lation during storms.
The motor is now in practical operation
at Potencia Beach, four miles north of
Redondo. on the Redondo branch of the
Santa Fe railroad.
Those who wish to satisfy themselves
that the motor is actually what it is
claimed to be, and that it is destined to
furnish the economic power of the future

before capital generally realizes its great
value, should take the 10 a. m. Santa Fe

mechanical achievement and wonder at
its simplicity, and satisfy themselves that
it is destined to work revolution in the
cost and method of creating power.
The millions of horse power now used
within fifty miles of the sea coast through
out this and other countries, which. by
electrical transmission, can be supplied
by this motor, gives some idea of its enorm-
Gus field of usefulness and revenue. Re

Prof. Gleasen's Troubles

Prof. o. r. Gleason, the horse trainer

creditors. The professor owed the Times

tained judgment and an execution for
that amount in the township court, but
the execution was returned unsatisfied
by the constable, because, as the subsa-

the fair thing, and has offered to make

DISPOSED OF AT LAST
An EvilMinded Little Boy Sent to
Whittier During Minority

Little Johnnie Burns, the small boy
whose known campaign as criminal
embraces highway robbery and burg
larry. was yesterday ordered committed
to the Whittier state school by Judge
Smith during his minority.
Johnnie Is barely IL years old and di-
minutive for his age. but as hardened
criminal he is away up in the list.
The future that stares this kid in the
face, unless he mends his ways, is ap-
palling. He seems to have no moral
sense of the enormity of his conduct, al
though he Is quite alive to the fact that
punishment is meted out to bad boys
who allow themselves to be caught. That
is the only criterion little Burns goes
by; the inability to cover up the tracks
of his peccadilloes and rascality Is the
only part of the transactions which in his
mind constitutes oulpability. Johnnie's
career will probably close in peniten-
ttary

the trip up town, but Brunswick refused
to pay it, saying he would pay when the

the conductor and at the passenger s
request he stopped the car to let him
