CUTICURA
Soap, Ointment andPills
the Worlds Greatest
Skin Cures.
PRICE THE SET ST
Complete Treatment for Every
humOuT, from PimpleS
to SCrOfHIa.

The agonizing itching and burning
ofthe skin, as in eczema the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss Of
hair and crusting of the scalp, as in
SCALED head the facial Disagreement,
as in pimples and ringworm; the
awful suffering of infants and the
anxiety of worn-out parents, as an
milk crust, letter, and salt rheum, all
demand remedy of almost super
human virtues to successfully cope
with them. That Cuticura Soap, ONT
1nent, and Pills are such stands proven
beyond all doubt. No statement is
made regarding them that is not justi-
fed by the strongest evidence. The
purity and sweetness, the power to
afford immediate relief, the certainty
of speedy and permanent cure, the abb
solute safety and great economy, have
made them the standard skin cures
and humour remedies of the civilized
world.
The grandest testimonial that can
be offered the Cuticura remedies IS
their worldwide sale, due to the per-
sonal recommendations of those who
have used them. From small begin
ming in the simplest form, against
prejudice and opposition, against
monied hosts, countless rivals, and
trade indifference, Cuticura remedies
have become the greatest curatives of
their time, and, in fact, of all time,
for nowhere in the history of medicine
is to be found another approaching
them in popularity and sale. In every
cline and with every people they have
met with the same reception. The
confines of the earth are the only
limits to their growth. They have
conquered the world.

How It's Jumps Along Inc PFfnTec
Line Are Measured.

Line Are Measured.
We know that an eye at ordinary
reading distance takes In about one
inch of line at a time and that In
reading a line of an ordinary book the
eye makes FIVE or six distinct jumps.
But as the movements are so very
minute and rapid how have they been
studied7
A beam Of light is thrown upon the
cornea Of the eye, and this beam Is re-
aected by the cornea on photograph
ic plate. AS the eye moves In reading
the reflected beam also moves, and up
on developing the plate, which Is also
kept moving, zigzag line Is found.
A study of such Photographic tracings
shows that the eyes In turning back to
pick up the next line have some diff
Guilty in so doing. The longer the line
Of print the greater the effort, and for
this reason we may conclude that
narrow line is better for an eye than
long one, and If the line be much wider
than the ordinary newspaper column
there IL greater effort involved.-Jew-
elers' Weekly.

Former Denver Girl Weds

Miss Caddie Louise Hunter and
George Wilson were married last even
ing at the home of the brides father,
Edward Hunter of 1895 Catalina street.
Miss Hunter was formerly a Denver
girl and one of the most popular and
beautiful young women of that city.
Rev Hugh K. Walker performed the
ceremony. and music was in charge
of Mrs. Will Wilson and her sister,
Alice Miller, who played the violin
and piano. The home had been dec
grated by the girls of the Thursday
Afternoon club, of which the bride is
member. In the living room where
the ceremony was performed green and
white were the only colors used. The
couple stood under large canopy or
ferns from which a white wedding bell
of carnations depended. Pink carna-
tions and ferns were used in the
room adjoining and pleasing arrange
ment of red and green frightened the
dining room.
The bride wore a dainty gown of
white crepe de chine and carried a
bouquet of white carnations. She was
attended by Miss Gertrude Dimmick,
as maid of honor. Miss Dimmick's gown
was of pale blue and her bouquet was
also of carnations. Will Wilson, a broth
er of the bridegroom, served as best man
and the bride was given away by her
father. About hundred guests wit
messed the ceremony. After the service,
Alfred Wilson, the year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Will Wilson, was christened.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson have gone for a
wedding trip after which they will
make their home with the brides
father, at 1895 Cataline street.

lections by Miss Maud Reese Davies
and John Douglas Walker.
Christ church has never been more
beautiful than last evening when, un-
der the direction of Miss Waite,
beautiful floral scheme had been per-
fected. A canopy composed of stream
ers of pink tulle held in the beaks of
many white doves poised in the arches
of the grill, stretched over the altar,
and from the center a wedding bell of
pink and white blossoms depended.
Smaller bells of pink carnations were
suspended at intervals from the rood
screen, which was draped in festoons
of smilax and ferns. Wood ferns were
banked at the base of the screen in
solid mass of green. and basket of as
paragus springeri occupied the prin-
cipal position on the central bar.
Ferns and other greenery placed
around the chancel in profusion com
pleted a most charming arrangement.
At the home of the brides parents,
where a wedding supper was served to
the bridal party, the same color scheme
of pink and white prevailed. For their
wedding trip DR.. and Mrs. Bartram
have planned a tour of the eastern
states, at the conclusion of which they
will reside in Los Angeles.

OWNER CLAIMS STRAY AUTO
Cadillac Car 1856 CAL" Is Property
of Attorney Harmon of San
Gabriel

The Cadillac runabout which has
been reposing at the police station for
several days awaiting an owner, was
claimed yesterday by Joseph E. Han
non, an attorney living in San Gabriel.
He established a satisfactory proof Of
ownership and the car was turned
over to him.
Harmon told the police that Walter
Ransom, surveyor living at 202 Mer-
camille place, had borrowed the ma
chine to make a trip out of the city.
A short distance from town the bear
ings became heated and a bolt dropped
out, making further use of the car i'm
possible. Ransom left the car and re-
turned to the city for assistance, but
when he went back found that the
machine had been removed. Ransom
believed that auto had been stolen,
and hoping to secure some trace of
IL said nothing to the owner. Harmon
became alarmed and made an investi-
cation, finding the machine at the
police station.
The number 1856 Cal" painted on a
board attached to the machine was
admitted to be a flake" by Harmon
yesterday, but he claimed that the
number was on the car when he bought
it and no prosecution will be made.

Lad Goes to jail

In spite of his appeal to the court for
leniency because he felt that he had
been the victim of circumstances.
Joseph Allack, the 13 year old lad who
was arrested Tuesday morning for beg
ging, was arraigned yesterday after
noon in the police court and sentenced
to serve twenty-five days in the city
Jail. His eyes filed with tears when
the judge pronounced his sentence, as
he had fully believed that he would be
given his freedom and allowed to look
for work. He had the satisfaction,
however, of having convinced the court
of his story of having injured his arm
while trying to jump from a freight
train, on which he beat his way into
this city. The receiving hospital sur
geons are now treating his arm.

Miss Randolph a Bride

Miss Vida Randolph, that vivacious
little brunette who has been receiving
so much social attention since the an
nouncement of her engagement, became
the bride of Walter w. Carruthers last
evening, and very beautiful bride she
was. The wedding took place at the
Grandview Presbyterian church, with
Rev. A. G. Fesenden officiating. 1t was
a chrysanthemum affair and the friends
of the bride had made of the church
beautiful place. Large white chrysan-
themums were everywhere in evidence,
and combined with them were guam
titles of ferns. Arches of greenery were
erected at intervals throughout the
church and immense baskets of the
white blossoms were suspended from
them. The flowers were banked around
the altar with greenery and the pews
were marked with bows of white satin
ribbon.
Miss Randolph approached the altar
leaning on the arm of her brother,
Byron Randolph, as Mrs. Molire played
the wedding march. Her gown was of
white embroidered net over white
liberty silk and she carried a bouquet
of white carnations, A long tulle veil,
which fell over her dark hair, was
caught in place with a cluster of orange
blossoms. Mrs. Henrietta Martin, who
attended her as matron or honor, wore
white chiffon voile, and the two maids,
Miss Beth Coulter and Miss Beatrice
Duff, wore dainty ruffled gowns of sheer
white material. All the attendants car
ried white carnations. Little Miss Ethel
Barnhart was the flower girl and Mas
ter Edwin De Long carried the ring.
Fred Carruthers attended his brother
as best man and the young men who
assisted as ushers were Sydney Rounse-
field and Warren j. Miller. Just before
the reading of the service Miss Jennie
Winston sang "Call Me Thine own"
After the ceremony a reception was
held at the new home of the young
couple, which has just been completed
at 1928 West Twenty-fifth street The
same color scheme used in the church
was employed in the pretty new home
and about seventy-five guests were
entertained.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carruthers will go north
for a wedding trip, visiting before their
return to Los Angeles San Francisco,
Portland, Seattle and other cities.
Miss Randolph's travelling gown is OF
maroon colored broadcloth, and hat
to match is of panne velvet, trimmed
with ostrich plumes.

GRATEFUL MOTHER 0YaE9 g sHEEEsiaa' &c 5aAAs
Pe-ru-na Proves a Reliable
Remedy For Mothers
and Children.

Mrs. ]. P. Regnier, 754 w. Goth street,
Chicago, I'LL, writes
II am anxious to show my gratitude
for what Peruna has done for me, and
hope this will reach the eyes of some
woman who has suffered as 1 did.
For two years I had intense pains
regularly every month, had headache
and backache. At such times was
hardly able to be about, and felt very
weak and worn-out
"I am now feeling very well, but
would not be without Peruna in the
house.
when I see my children are not feel
ing well and have a little cold, at once
give them Peruna, and they know 1T
does them good so they take it without
any trouble.
T am a naW UoH10n since 0es
gan taking Perund.
my friends say, How well you look!
and 1 tell them what made me well,
so some of my friends are going to try
1t themselves"
Mother and children take the same
remedy.
Certainly this is one of the best rec
ommends that Peruna can have.
There are many families in all parts
of the country who use Peruna, from
the oldest to the youngest member of
the family.
The reason for this is that catarrh
in some form or phase afflicts the old
er people as well as the young.
Pe.ru-na Contains No Narcotics.
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes IS
that it contains no narcotics of any
kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless. 1t
can be used any length of time with
out acquiring drug habit.
