A LOS ANGELES MISTAKE.
A Warning to Those Who Would Build
 Club Houses.

A very interesting question has arisen in Los Angeles. and should be given publicity as a warning to cfAD women who. when they build club houses fail to retain the majority of stock. The Friday Morning Club of Los Angeles occupies a fine building one of the show places of the city. When 1t was built the members of the club did not show great avidity in acquiring the stock, and the house could not have been erected had not two women of wealth, not club mem bers. bought large blocks of stock, thus securing a controlling interest. The fact that the members themselves did not actually own their own home seems to have escaped most of them. They occupied the building. under a five years lease at monthly rental of $125. The lease is about to expire, and they have been informed that owing to a general rise in Los Angeles real estate the club property is now worth $2S,5O0, instead of the S20,000 1t origi- nally cost. They have the option of buying 1t at the larger figure. or of leasing it for another five years, of course at an increased rental The club women feel that they have not reaped the just reward of their fabors. It is true that the money came largely from outsiders, but it was their own energy and enterprise that made the club possible to build. The cold-hearted financial promoters, however, insist that they are entitled to the benefit of their business acumen. The only com fort the members have is the reflection that they are in a much peter condition to stand the increased rental than they were when the house was built The membership has been doubled in the last four years, and now enrolls 800 of the most intellectual and inhuen- tial women in Los Angeles.

 Let us hope that the day is near when all our people, having a correct appreciation of the value of the free institutions which God has voDchsafed to them, and animated by the spirit of true patriotism. may see their highest duty in continually guarding and de- fending these institutions against the decay which comes of neglect, the weakness which comes of undermining materialism and the perversion which comes of disobedienee to the laws of our national life and health

NO MORE TOBACCO HEART.
Health Faddists Have Destroyed the
 Weeds Harmful Qualities.

Two boys. one ard the other 10 years old, sat in their fathers study, smoking long cigars.
 The father watched them. Two other men watched them also. The question was. Would they get sick
 The boys smoked tfe cigars to the end without getting stck, and then they ran out to play.
 'It is true" said the men. "It is true. Who'd have believed it?"
 An experiment had been tried on the boys-an experiment with a hygienic or health tobacco. For the health fad dists, having completed their work with predigested cereals and non-caffe- mated coffee and bacteria-proof pep tonized milk, have turned now to to- bacco and, without affecting its taste in any way have so destroyed its harmless qualities that a babe can smoke a pipe, a cigarette or a cigar without any consequent indisposition.
 A German of Halle originated this new tobacco. He takes the ordinary leaf, and treats 1t with tannic acid in such a way as to kill all the poison in the nicotine The tannic acid in this process kills also the tobaco taste. Therefore, the German afterward treats the leaf with a solution Of wild mar joram, anS this is said to make the leaf taste as it did before it was tam pered with.
 Some cigars made of this harmless tobacco have been sent to American scientists. The cigars do not taste bad. A scientist says they are not as good as 15-cent cigar, and not as bad as a Scent one. They are a fair smoke. A number of them have been smoked by children who never used tobacco be- fore. The children suffered none of the troubles that ordinary tobacco would have entailed.
 The Halle German thinks his inven- ton will do away with tobacco heart, nicotine nervousness, and the half dozen other ills that are laid at the h. dian weeds door Newark News.
