LIVELY CONTEST FOR
STUDENT BODY ELECTION
Mowatt Mitchell Chosen President
After Whirlwind Campaign.
Athletes Honored

Mowatt Mitchell was elected presi-
dent Of the student body Of the Los
Angeles high school yesterday after
noon after whirlwind campaign
which was fought stubbornly from
start to finish.
Mitchell and Harold Todd had been
put forward by the two parties in the
school and the amateur politicians
handled their forces and pulled the
wires likes veterans. In one thing
they outshone their professional col
leagues, for while the battle was
fought with might and main there
was no bitterness or malice displayed
Mitchell won by a majority of nine
teen votes.
The effect of athletic ability to
make a student popular was shown by
the fact that both nominees for presi-
dent were noted for their skill in
many contests and Miss Cleme Grif-
fen, who was chosen vice-president,
is one of the stars of the high schools

Rae Van Give and Miss Edna Augur

BUYS EPSON SALTS; GETS
CARBONATE OF POTASH
Druggist Sued for $4,000 by Gus
toner, Who Alleges He Was
DAfeAaaA


Alleging that poison was admins
tered to him in place of dose of Ep-
som salts, B. C. Duffie yesterday began
suit in the Superior Court against
George b. Wilson for damages alleged
to have been sustained by reason Of
the mistake.
Dufie asserts that on February Q
last he applied at the defend
ants drug store at SSS West Sixth
street, and requested the defendant
through one of his employees to put up
a small dose of Epson salts.
Duffie says that the clerk !carelessly
prepared a certain poisonous drug
which he believes to be known as car
Donate of potash, and which he says
was labeled EPSON Salts
He subsequently partook OF the al
legged poison, whereby he was rem
dered dangerously i'll, and removed to
the hospital.
Duffie asks the court to award him
damages in the sum Of $40, 200, to-
gether with certain sum expended in
the payment of physicians bills.
A number OF physicians who at
tended Duffie at the hospital testified
in his behalf, and they corroborated
his testimony in a number Of details.

why DOCTORS FAIL
AND MRS. PINKHAM SUCCEEDS
Plain Reasons Are Here Given to Explain
Why Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound Cures When Doctors Are POwerless

Awomanis sick; some disease peculiar
TO her sex is fast developing in her sys-
tenn. She goes to her family physician
and tells him story, but not the whole
story.
She holds something back, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told, and thus
completely mystifies the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctors fail to cure the diseaseP Still
we cannot blame the woman, for it is
very embarrassing to detail some of the
symptoms of her suffering, even to her
family physician.
1t was for this reason that years ago
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, de-
termined TO step in and help her sex.
Having had considerable experience in
treating female ills with her Vegetable
Compound, she encouraged the women
of America to write TO her for advice in
regard to their complaints, and being
woman, it was easy for her ailing sis
ters to pour into her ears every detail
of their suffering.
In this way she was able to do for
them what the physicians were unable
to do, simply because she had the
proper information to work upon, and
from the little group of women who
sought her advice years ago a great
army of her fellow beings are to-day
constantly applying for advice and re-
lief, and the fact that many thou
sands of them have been cured by
following the advice of Mrs. Pinkham
during the last year is indicative of the
grand results which are produced by
her unequaled experience and training,
No physician in the world has had
such training or has such an amount
of information at hand to assist in the
treatment of all kinds of female ills,
from the simplest local irritation to
the most complicated womb diseases,
This, therefore, is the reason why
Mrs. Pinkham, in her laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, is able to do more for the
ailing women of America than the
family physician. Any woman, there
fore, is responsible for her own suffer-
ing who will not take the trouble to
write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
The testimonials which we are con-
stantly publishing from grateful wo-
men establish beyond a doubt the
power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound to conquer female diseases.

TIRES OF PRESENCE OF
HIS M0THER-lN-LAW
George Elliott Asserts That Wife and
Her Parent Destroyed His
AanninAcn


What is home without a mother,
thought George Elliott, but yesterday
he told the court of his sad experience.
wherein his wife, Mrs. Alice Elliott.
and her mother were the prime NOV
ers.
So impressed was the court with
Elliott's tale that he allowed the plain
tiff to win his fight for freedom.
The Elliotts first took up the burden
of responsibility at Ventura. Cal, on
April 2, 1901. but since that time they
have not dwelt in unbroken marital
felicity.
Elliott argued to his spouse that
home without mother wasn't worth
a fudge" whereupon Mrs. Elliott tele-
graphed to the old homestead at Ven
tura and urged her mother to journey
to Los Angeles, and here to dwell for
ever in the home of her children.
All went we'll in the Elliott home un-
til the defendants mother put her
spoon in the porridge and then the
white dove OF peace took flight.
To show his disapproval of his
mother-in-law's conduct, Elliott, 1t is
charged, hurled her through the second
story window.
For such conduct Mrs. Elliott became
enraged at her spouse and, it is alleged
she proceeded to club him into submis-

CRUEL TO HER HUSBAND
Continued Fault Finding Wrecks
Home

Home
To be denounced by his wife in the
presence of his friends was little more
than David Amend bargained for when
he courted his present wife, Nellie, and
yesterday the unexpected having hap
pened, he was granted divorce in the
superior court on the grounds of cruelty
and desertion.
That Mrs. Amend was cruel to the
detected spouse was more than the
court could realize, but still Amend in
sisted that his wife, who had previously
sworn to love, honor and protect him,
had made him miserable.
He insisted that in his life there was
no such thing as a "home, sweet,
home" that is, in so far as his matri-
monial career was concerned.
Continual fault-finding, with an oc-
casional but determined "row," were
special features of his married life.

DEPARTMENT HEADS
WANT SYSTEM CHANGED
Objection to Civil Service Commission
Rule-AppIicants Examined
for Street Department

The civil service commission has re-
ceived a communication from the heads
of departments in the city hall asking
that the rule of the commission, which
provides that the name OF only one
eligible be certified for vacancy, be
amended.
The opinion is unanimously expressed
by the city officials that the rule adopt
ed by the commission is not in con-
formity with the spirit of the charter.
The officials hold that the charter con-
templates the sending to the depart
ments by the commission of two or
three names of eligibles, when there
are that many on the list.
1t is pointed out by the officials that
the certification of only one name by
the commission is virtually an appoint
ment by that body rather than by the
head of the department. The commits
sion has the amendment of the rule
Under consideration.
Examination papers of a large num-
ber of applicants for positions in the
street department have been returned
to the commission after having beer
marked by the examiners 1t is prob
able that Street Superintendent HaI,-
ley will make requisition upon the COM
mission at an early date for a number
of these eligibles.
Some consideration was given to tbs
case of Robert Taylor, a sewer flusher
against whom charges have been filed
1t seems that at one time in his life
Taylor was involved in some difficulty
that took him into the courts. He ne
elected to state this in his application
for the position he now holds and some
one preferred charges against him. The
case went over for one week.

COUNCIL ASKED
TO GUST FAKIRS
MEMBER SAYS CONDITIONS
ARE OBJECTIONABLE
District Near Sixth and Main Streets
Contains Nondeseript Class.
Palmists Are
Numerous

A member Of the council on Monday
called the attention of his colleagues
to the condition of Main and other
street in the neighborhood of Sixth
street, with reference to palmists, mind
readers and others.
Since the Huntington building was
opened to traffic, business about the
corners of Sixth and Main streets has
increased greatly and there is a con-
stant ebb and flow of travel there.
In this section Of the city the fakirs
are carrying on their peculiar trades
and attracting many an elusive dime
and quarter in their direction. In re-
turn for good American money the pro-
prietors of these places give back some
sage advice, the value of which each
individual is supposed to determine as
best he can.
There are palmists who will give a
'1ife reading for ten cents. They say
they will give more for 81. Presumably
they will reveal all the secrets of eter-
Bity for that amount.
The Herald reporter has been mar
rled good many years but for the
sake of securing reading he told
a palmist he was anxious to know
something about his future wife. The
operator" directed him to take a seat
in little tent two yards from the
street and facing her.
You have met with a great disap-
pointment," said the medium. The re-
porter wondered what it could possibly
be.
You must not feel bad, though, be-
cause you have not yet met your
affinity"
Then followed a description of the
affinity which discounted the charms
of Greek goddess. When asked how
soon this divinity was to be met the
medium replied coyly, Il can tell you
more for a dollar"
On the other side of the street an in
dividual wearing a seer cap, a monde
script oriental dress and possessing a
Chimmie Fadden accent, offers evil
smelling oriental remedies for sale.
A physician who has examined the
nostrums gives the assurance that they
are not poisonous
Along the street at various places
massage signs are displayed. These
places are said to be in fact quite
different from what they appear to be.
1t is asserted that the rooms are occu-
pied by former inmates of the Alameda
street cribs
Attention has been called in the coun-
Gil to these conditions and while no
action has resulted it is expected that
steps will be taken to have all objec-
tionable characters and their wares
removed from a part of the city where
traffic is constantly increasing and
where every tourist who would take a
street car ride is confronted with dis
agreeable sights.

The Civil Service.

The civil service law has been on
the statute books for twenty-five
years. Every President and vast
majority of heads of departments
who have been in Office during that
period have favored a gradual ex-
tersion of the merit system. The
mere thoroughly its principles have
been understood, the greater has
been the favor with which the law has
heen regarded by administrative oil
officers. Any attempt to carry on the
great executive departments of ~+ife
Government without this law would
inevitably result in chaos. The Civil
Service Commissioners are doing ex-
ccllent work; and their compensa-
ton is inadequate considering the
service they perform.

OF course the only cuinsaete feisiSs..s
for this condition must te found III
an aroused public conscience, a higher
sense Of ethical roliduct III the COM
m,nitv at large, and especially ariong

fession Of the law, and in the growth
Of a Spirit which condemns all dis

The Revenues.
There is more need of stability
than of the attempt to attain an ideal
perfection in the methods of raising
revenue; and the shock and strain to
the business world certain to attend
any serious change In these methods
render such change inadvisable unless
for grave reason. 1t is not possible
to lay down any general rule by
which to determine the moment when
the reasons for will outweigh those
against such a change. Much must
depend, not merely on the needs, but
on the desires, of the people as a
whole; for needs and desires are not
necessarily identical. OF course. no
change can be made on lines benef-
cial to, or desired by, one section
or one State only. There must be
something like a general agreement
among the citizens of the several
States, as. represented in the Con-
gress, that the change is needed and
desired in the interest of the people as
whole; and there should then be
sincere, intelligent, and disinter-
ested effort to make it in such shape
as will combine, so far as possible,
the maximum of good to the people
at large with the minimum of neces-
sary diregard for the special interests
of localities or classes. But in time of
peace the revenue must on the av-
erage, taking series of years to-
gether, equal the expenditures or else
the revenues must be increased. Last
year there was a deficit. Unless our
expenditures can be kept within the
revenues then our revenue laws must
be readjusted.
