ENDS SESSION
Annual Meeting Of POrtu-

d. E. S. a Big Success

HAYWARDS, Sept. 17.-One OF the
most successful sessions ever held by
the Grand Lodge OF the Portuguese
society Of the I. d. e. s., which has
been in elaboration here for the last
week, adjourned to-day. Only two con-
tests came up before the organization.
One was to remove the Office OF the
supreme secretary from Haywards to
Oakland and the other was the election
of the secretary.
The proposition to remove theFofice
to Oakland was lost by vote OF eighty
to twenty. The election OF the secre-
tary brought out a spirited rivalry be-
tween p. G, Leonardo, who has been
the secretary of the Grand Lodge since
the organization Of the society, twelve
years ago, and Frank j. Rose, the re-
firing supreme president Of the order.
who was a candidate for election to the
office held by Leonardo. The latter
won out by a scant margin OF eight
votes. The social features of the ses-
sion were a great success. These con-
sisted of a reception by Mayor Heyer
of this city, a barbecue and entertain
ments Of various kinds at night.
The following grand officers were
elected: Supreme president, j. V. Dus

Frennent Yawn Docs Good.

To be told that physicians recon-
mend yawning as remedy for disease
would make some people smile with
incredulitv. but it is a fact. never
theless-
They say that muscles are brought
into play during a yawn that would
otherwise never get any exercise at
all. The muscles that move the lower
jaw and the breathing muscles of the
chest are the first that come into use
in the yawn. Then the tongue is
raised, the palate tightly stretched and
the uvula raised.
Near the termination of the yawn
the ewes close, the ears are slightly
raised and the nostrils dilate. The
crack sometimes heard in the ear
shows that the aural membranes are
also stretched and exercised, some
thing that cannot be done by any
other process.
Nasal catarrh. Inflammation Of the
palate, sore throat and earache may
all be helped toward a cure by the
sufferers making a practice of yawn-
ing six or seven times a day. But
good form requires that it should be
done in private. of course.

Charles Peterson, Without
Attorney, Has to Face
a Hostile Wife Alone
NO MONEY FOR LAWYER
He Gives Up Case and the
Woman Refuses to COnSid-
er Offer of Reconciliation
Oakland Office san Francisco Call
1915 Broadway, Sept. L.


Left alone without an attorney
Charles Peterson. q young real estate
dealer OF this city. found himself this
morning in court facing a hostile
wife. who was telling the Judge stories
OF his inhdelity 10 her. He took up
the defense in his own behalf after
making an Intellectual attempt 10
reconcile his irate spouse, who would
have none Of him.
Peterson some time ago denied that
he WAS married, there being a tech
uical flaw in The proceedings owing to
The fact that while the marriage Ii
cense was procured in this county the
pair were married by Rev. j. Fuendel-
Ing in san Francisco.
Further trouble was aggravated by
the finding by Mrs. Peterson of photo
graphs of one Mary Johnson, taken In
hel. room dressed i'm her husband s
clothes. She identified the room this
morning by the pictures on the walls.
The clothes she claimed she knew
we'll. Further search among her hus-
bands effects brought to light a mar
rage contract signed by Peterson and
Mary Johnson. 1t set forth that he
had left his wife, TO whom, IL stated,
he had never been married.
With these wrongs ranking in her
heart, Mrs. Peterson came into court
this morning TO prosecute suit for
divorce begun some months ago. Upon
the calling of the case Attorney Frank
Herold told the court that. as he had
received no money, he would with
draw from Pederson's case. Peterson
then made statement that he would
Ike a few words with the court in
chambers. In the presence of Judge
ogden and Attorney Philip Walsh he
then proposed to so back and live
with his wife. Mrs. Peterson was told
Of the offer, but promptly refused to
consider il.
In commenting upon the matter
Judge Ogden said that ordinarily he
would have assisted as far in his
power such a reconciliation, but that
in the present case he could not take
q part in it for the reason that Peder-
son had denied that they were ever
married, and he might do the same
thing again after Mrs. Peterson gave
her consent
The trial Of the case then proceeded
and Mrs. Peterson gave dates and cir
oumstances of visits and evenings
spent by Peterson with Mary Johnson.
She also told the story of the photo
graphs and Of the finding Of the mar
riage contract.
Peterson took notes and later at
tempted TO cross-examine the witness.
The trial will be resumed to-mor-
row.

MEN MUST We'd
STRONG WOMEN
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
PAS Center Street, Sept. II.

Z14O center OITGGls sept L.
DR.. George F. Reinhardt, professor of
hygiene at the University of California,
stands for a higher type Of physical
manhood in America. The doctor de-
men are Indifferent as to the health Of
the women and men they marry. From
these unions result unhappiness and
offspring With shapeless bodies and
dimly lighted brains.
DR.. Reinhardt gave voice to his views
to-day before class of 800 men, to
whom he lectured on health at the uni
versity. He said in part:
LAS a class, we Americans are not
we'll bred. We give more attention to
the production of a fine breed of horses
and cows than we do to the production
of strong, healthy men. Our presence
on this earth is a matter of sentiment
largely, and it is no wonder, then, that
some of us are unfortunate in appear
ance; that we have eyes, ears and
noses and heads out of shape and dis
proportional. If we could only select
the fittest among us for the producers
of our future citizens, what a fine race
of citizens we could have.
These are serious matters. You men
may be sending sons and daughters Of
your own to college some day. Then
bear in mind that sentiment is not the
only thing to think about when you get
ready to enter into wedlock. Do not let
love, playing on your heart strings, get
the better of your common sense. Some
men marry women they know are not
fit to make good wives because they
have entered into a courtship blindly
and do not realize until too late that
they have made a mistake. 1t is all
right to think that there is only one
girl in this world for you, but you
should be very careful in selecting this
one person. When a man selects a
sickly girl or one in whose family there
is some hereditary disorder he is either
a fool or has no regard for his poster
ity."
Continuing, DR.. Reinhardt said that
a mans appearance always plays a
great part in shaping his destiny. To
appear at his best is always important
if a man would succeed. for the tide in
his affairs often turns upon the ap-
pearance that he makes. A cheerful and
we'll groomed appearance is essential
to the ambitious.

American Prunes i'm Europe.

The Hungarian official pomOlogicaI
organ states in its latest number that
the enormous supply and peculiar soft
condition of American pr1nes in Fin
rope has awakened a lively interest
everywhere of late. This organ states
that an examination of such prunes
was made in Germany and that they
were declared to be soaked with a
huid containing from 10 to IL per
cent Of glycerin to artifciaIly increase
their size and weight. The organ
quoted goes on to warn Hungarian
buyers against all American preserved
fruits and to call American fruit ner-
chants profit seeking and oficious."
1t is evident from the foregoing that
there Is market even in Hungary for

PAS Center Street, Sept. II.
Professor John C. Merriam, professor
of palaeontology at the University of
California. returned to-day from five
months trip abroad. the object of
which was to see and compare the fos-
sill remains of prehistoric animals in
European museums with those lately
discovered in the limestone beds in Cal
ifornia and Idaho. While abroad Pro-
fessor Merriam, who was accompanied
by Mrs. Merriam, visited the museums
in London, Brussels, Liege, Stuttgart,
Berne, Zurich. Milan, Lyons, Les
Eyzies, Paris and at Berne, Switzer-
land. He read a paper on THE New
Group of Marine Triassic Reptilia of
California" before the international
Geological Congress.
At the beginning of last year Pro-
fessor Merriam attempted to make an
outline of a monograph on the triassic
ichthyosauria taken from the beds in
Idaho, but discovered before long that
a considerable part of the collection
was not ichthyosaurian. This discov-
cry prompted Professor Merriam to de-
eide that before putting his observa-
tions into print he would make study
of types in European museums most
nearly related to the thalattosaurian,
one of the groups to which he had de-
voted most of his time and study. The
remains of these reptilia are among the
most striking discoveries known to geo
logical research, and it was because of
their value as new specimens that Pro-
fessor Merriam proceeded cautiously
before giving out results.
