MADE NEW STRENGTH
QUICKER THAN DOCTORS TONIOS,

Young Lady Left by Fever in Very Weak
State Uses DIR. Williams Pink Pills
with Gratifying Results.
After fever, such as typhoid or scar
let, has run it's full course there remains
the recovery Of strength. The tonic that
will most rapidly increase the red cor
puscles i'll the blood is the one that will
most quickly restore color to the pale
checks, strength to the weak muscles,
and elasticity to the sluggish nerves. So
far nothing has ever been produced SUI
.perior to DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
this purpose.
Miss Midendorf had been i'll with
typhoid fever for fourteen weeks. She
had a good physician who carried her
safely through the critical stages. When
he left, nothing remained to be done ex-
cept to build up her strength, which was
very feeble, and he gave her some pre-
scriptions for that purpose. Here, how
ever, she met with appoint1nenf:>
- tt99 2ks {hs d2etos,s t9nljcs." she says:
"for two months after I had recovered
from the fever, but they did not do me
the good looked for. My strength GANG
back so slowly that scarcely seemed to
be making any progress at all. Just
then [ read i'll a book thrown i'll our
yard some striking testimonials showing
what wonderful blood-builders and
strength givers DR.. Williams Pink Pills
are. [ got box of them sooa after
this and after I had taken only about
half Of them could see very great i'm
provement i'll my condition. When I
had used up two boxes, felt that did
not need any more medicine. I have
remained strong ever SINCE"
Miss E. B. Midendorf lives at No.
1901 Park street, Quincy, Ill. DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills are the best remedy to
use in all cases of weakness, from what
ever cause the system may be run down.
In cases of debility due to overwork they
minister fresh strength and overcome
nervous symptoms. They are specific
for anamia Or bloodlessness. They are
particularly helpful to girls on the verge
of womanhood. They meet all the re-
quirements Of the period known as the
change Of life. They correct spring
languor. They strengthen weak diges-
ton and rouse up sluggish organs. No
other tonic combines SO many virtues.
All druggists sell them.

LAX DIVORCE LAWS

No surprise is expressed in Los An
geles at the action of the combined
churches of this city in rising to pro-
test against the lax divorce laws of
this state. The surprise is that they
did not move sooner.
During the first six months of this
year there were 1884 marriages in Los
Angeles and 512 divorces!
And these divorces We're principally
granted upon charges of desertion,
cruelty, neglect and drunkenness. In
many of the cases reported in the rec
ords judgment was entered by default,
no one appearing to contest.
There should be no criticism of the
local courts in this connection. The
judges have acted with as much care
and discretion as the law allows. In
Il number Of instances they have in
sisted upon reconciliation, and where
the facts would justify have denied
DEGREES. From all reports they have
done their best to stem the tide of
marital separation that threatens to
The fault lies with the law and the,
law-makers. The law has made it
possible to procure a divorce for the
most trivial causes and rendered the
process so easy that a number of un-
happy wives and husbands have locat-
ed in California for the sole purpose
of procuring divorce.
Public sentiment throughout the state
should be aroused upon this question
now, so that the next assembly will be
impelled to amend the statutes and
restrict divorce to the narrowest DOS
siblc limits.
The call Of the churches for public
mass meeting wherein this sentiment
can be expressed is one commendable
form Of giving voice to the popular
feeling. California cannot afford to be-
come u refuge for persons who have
wearied of the married relation and
who seek that state where divorces can
be secured the quickest and with the
least amount Of publicity, The people
of this state give welcome to no such
characters. But unless there is a
speedy change in our divorce laws we
will have an undesirable immigration
TO California-one that will initiate
against the progress and civilizlng de-
yelopment of the Golden State.
The churches are on the right road
and should be encouraged to a SUCCESS

PLANS BIG PARK SYSTEM
Cities From Pasadena to Ocean In-
cIuded in Dr.. Lambs Gigantic
Proposition

A chain of parks from Pasadena to
the sea is a project which DR.. w. A.
Lamb of the local park board is pro-
noting, and in the estimation of DR..
Lamb the plan is not only feasible, but
there will be few difficulties to encoun-
ter.
The boundaries of the new park dis
trict will hinge very largely on the
city limits of Greater Los Angeles, and
until these are determined it is prob
able decisive action will be deferred.
The plan is to ask Pasadena, Holly
wood, Sawtelle, Ocean Park, Santa
Monica, Venice and probably Long
Beach, Santa Ana and other nearby
cities to join with Los Angeles in the
organization of a district park board
and to vote bonds for the establish
ment of parks, boulevards and drive
ways.
A special act of the Legislature would
be necessary to make the plan possible,
but DR.. Lamb believes that this could
be easily secured

CHIEF LIPS ASKS
AN INVESTIGATION
SAYS INQUIRY WOULD BE IN
HIS FAVOR
Scores Engineers Certified by Civil
Service Commission-Miss Math.
ewson Declares Charges
Will Be Filed

Miss Helen Mathewson's threats tc
file charges against Fire Chief Walter
Lips yesterday I'm connection with the
Coronado fire failed to materialize. but
Miss Mathewson stated yesterday that
she would make an effort to have the
charges i'm the hands of the fire com.
mission by Saturday morning when the
commission will meet.
Chief Lips spent a good portion OF
yesterday in the outer office of the
mayor, awaiting the expected charges
of Miss Mathewson, and expressed him
self as disappointed when the mayors
office was closed for the evening and
no charges had been filed.
"If Miss Mathewson doesn't make
good her threats I'll file charges
against myself" said Chief Lips in a
serio-comic manner. I'm tired of this
constant holler about the Coronado
hotel fire and L would like nothing bet
ter than for the fire commission or any
other body to investigate the case. The
truth would then be shown that we did
the best we could in handling the
Coronado hotel fire. I'll admit that
there are some engineers in the service
of the fire department that should be
following the plow instead of trying to
handle a fire engine, but we have to
take the engineers whom the civil SER
vice commission certifies, and some of
them are about the limit If [ could
take good husky men and train them
in the service it would be much more
efficient than it is at present"
Fire Commissioner Wrenn was of the
same opinion as Mr. Lips.
I'D like to see this thing investi-
gated,' said Mr. Wrenn. II have every
reason to believe that Chief Lips did
what he could in the Hotel Coronado
fire as well as in the Harris & Franks
fire, and in order to prove it to the pub
lie / would like nothing better than an
investigation"
Miss Helen Mathewson, who declares
she will file charges of incompetency
against Fire Chief Lips, is the proprie-
tor of the Hotel Coronado, which was
recently burned to the ground. She
asserts that it was through negligence
on the part of the fire chief and mem
bers of his department that the hotel
was q total loss.

THE TEST OF THE TURBINES
the New York World:

From the New York World:
The Cunard tipie-screw liner Car
mania, which today sells from Liver
pool for New York, will be the first tur-
bine transatlantic ship in regular SER
vice between these ports. Her sister,
the Caronia, equipped with expansion
engines, takes the longer Mediterranean
passage. Together they are to test the
turbine system for the two giant 25-
knot steamers which the Cunard line
is to build.
it should be a conclusive test as to
size. since each ship is of 10000 tons
dis plac ament, midway between the
Great Eastern and the Celtic. AS to
ST eed, turbines have been tried in
yachts and torpedo boats and proved
successful.
The great advantages of the turbine
engine are it's lightness and it's smaller
coil consumption, both qualities saving
cargo capacity or space for the multi
plying apparatus of luxury. The net
tonnage of the Carmania is twice that
of the Campania. The minor disadvan-
tage that the turbine cannot be re-
versed has been met by the use of a
smaller reversing engine, an added
complication in ship that has already
its winch engines, dynamos, steering
engines and other mechanical "frills."
But, disadvantages and all, If the tur-
bine engines continue to save space and
coal and make time, every reciprocal
ing engine in great ship is nearer the
scrap-iron stage than its designer ever

SOBER SIDE OF CHRISTMAS
From the Wall Street Summary:

From the Wall Street Summary:
For the average man the December
% disbursements create in individual
pockets the most serious monetary
stringency of the year. This day is
to the individual what January / is to
the bank. 1t is only human nature to
make strenuous efforts during the
three weeks preceding Christmas to
get little money to meet the fateful
day. Around Wall street it is GUS
tomary TO take a little flyer in the
stock market, the profits of which are
to provide the Christmas presents.
Such flyers, since they are dictated
by the time, not the opportunity. are
necessarily based on judgment poorer
than the average. There are more
oueside speculative losses taken dur
ing the next three weeks than in the
average three months. Inasmuch as
nine persons out of ten buy something
whenever they take a flyer, and in
asmuch as a large majority are going
to lose. the reason of their disappoint-
ment must be declining market. ON
the average, bull Christmas occurs
once in five years.
