That DR.. Elisha Challen Scott, presi
dent of the Elimino Medicine Co., was
right when he said that most sickness
was due to faulty living. That the
waste products from worn out and bro
ken down tissue and the stimulating
poisons from tea, coffee, tobacco and
meat all more or less hinder the eX-
erection of Uric Acid and add to its &C.
emulation in the system.
Weakness and Depression by what
ever name we may call it is caused by
Uric Acid and other poisonous waste
products thickening the blood and
clogging the circulation The thick.
ened blood obstructing the circulation
makes cold hands and feet, suppresses
the secretions, overworks the heart
disturbs the stomach and Injuries the
kidneys.
OF course the only real cure for this
condition is to clear out of the sys.
tenn the uric acid and other poisons
that cause the trouble To do this eff
fectively Dr. Scott originated a spe-
cial remedy called Elimino The word
means to eliminate. Elimino acts by
making the poisons freely soluble SO
they can be readily excreted by the
Kidneys without injury to the kidneys.
Thus Elimino relieves the heart,
helps the stomach and saves the kid
neys Not by alcoholic or other slim
ulation but by removing the poisons
that cause the trouble. Elimino is
sold by Druggists at $10O for large
bottle. 1t is one OF the most elegant
preparations on the market. If you

"A COLOR, ashen gray, spread
IA over Taunston's face white
IA foam came on his lips, and, re-
moving his hat, he mopped his
forehead with his handkerchief. For
the moment he was stunned with dis
appointment and anger, so much so
that he did not appear to hear Marga-
ret's second imperative command to
give way to her, and stood looking at
her dumbly. A woman to scorn him!
Since Taunstons majority in all the
counsels Of the village his voice had
ever been heard the loudest, carrying
conviction with it. The people needed
him; he was leader, and in his own
family the women obeyed his sternest
orders without question or even hesita-
ton. In consequence as he had COM
manded all about him for so many
years he knew no other way Of attain
ing his desires, so he thought now to
conquer this woman, the first to rise in
his path to block it, by his usual harsh
methods Of procedure.

La Fabienne laughed scornfully.

As the last sound of their voices died

livid, with blood dropping from his nos

loud, unearthly sounds Of the baying

but Margaret and La Fabienne, entire

happily, unheeding aught but the sound
of their own voices and the Joy of be-

DOteS Cast in the
First EleUen Days
OOer 10000 DOteS Haze Been P0LLed
Since the Opening of the Herdld'S
Popular JdLeSLddieS Contest


Less than a week ago the first an
nouncement of candidates in The
Herald's Popular Salesladies Contest
was made.
Since that time over 100000 votes
have been cast for the popular sales
ladies who have entered the race.
Next week it is anticipated that three
times that number will be polled, as the
interest is growing rapidly.
1t is an honor to be a candidate in
this race and it never can be deter
mined which lady is to be the winner
until the last vote is cast. Contest
ants who are the last on the list now
may come up to first position over
night-the result of some enthusiastic
labor on the part of a friend or rela-
tive 1t is therefore, unwise to with
draw from a race after the name has
been entered, as someone has taken the
trouble to enter the name and cast
votes and undoubtedly means to lend
support at some time or another dur
ing the life of the contest. Keep ever
lastingly at it, Work hard! You will
be glad you entered the race when you
receive one of the handsome prizes
now being offered.
AS votes really count the most right
now, it is a good plan to get among
your friends and relatives, as soon as
possible as a few may feel able to
subscribe only for year, and If you
are the first one to present the propo-
sition, you will probably be the one
to get the votes. 1t is only repeti-
tion of the old proverb: The early bird
getting the worm, etc. If a person is
already a subscriber to The Herald,
get him to pay in advance for year
or SO, or better, send the paper to an
eastern friend, as it establishes a daily
west and The Herald is the one paper
of Los Angeles which can best serve
this purpose.
Several inquiries have been made by
contestants as to the reserve forces.
Many are under the impression that to
strengthen the reserve force 1t is nec-
essary to withhold subscription money.
This is not so. When person sub
scribes turn in the money at once to
The Herald office and receive votes
accordingly. These votes issued on
subscriptions do not have to be polled
at once, but can be cast any time
during the contest or withheld till the
last day.
This also gives the person sunscrib-
ing chance to clip the coupons in
the daily paper, which they can cast
for their faVorite.
Whether The Herald makes or gains
anything out or thlS contest IL lltenuS
to distribute 5000 in prizes to the five
most popular salesladies just the same.
Those who win will win on popularity,
and that alone The books and votes
are always open to inspection and the
honor of The Herald is placed on the
fact that every vote is bona-fide, and
that the affair will be carried on to
the perfect satisfaction of all. Can
didates and friends of contestants are
always welcomed to The Herald office,
and any questions concerning the con-
test will be gladly answered by person,
phone or mail.

DESERTED HUSBAND FREED
George G. Machris Secures Divorce
From Wife Who Lived With Him
Only Three Days

"Good-by, George, dear. I am going
away because I can't live with you,
but want to tell you good-by just the
same" and husband and wife had
parted after just one week of married
life.
This was year ago and yesterday
George L. Machris, well known in Los
Angeles society," entered suit for di-
vorce against Myrtle e. Machris. who
had loved him but couldn't live with
him.
The case was tried before Judge York
in department three of the superior
court yesterday afternoon and Machris
was granted an interlocutory decree of
divorce.
The couple were married in Los An
geles during June of last year.
The couple occupied their home for
just three days when the wife left Her
husband met her by appointment at
Twenty-f1rst and South Main streets
and she bade him good-by after telling
him that she could not live with him.
She went to Long Beach to live with
her mother and Machris went there sew
eral times to try to get her to re-
turn to him, but all his efforts were un-
availing and he finally gave up in de-
spair after his wife had ordered him
never again to come to her home.

COLON|ST TRAFFIC
ALMOST DOUBLED
RAILROAD OFFICIALS SAY THE
OUTLOOK is BRIGHT
White Rlbboners Coming to Los An
geIes on Special Trains Help to
Swell Number Of Fall ana
Winter Visitors

Although the time of year has not
yet arrived when the great stream of
eastern people begins to pour into Los
Angeles in full volume for the winter
months, the passenger traffic brought
here at the present time is great"
said railroad official yesterday.
"Colonist rates will expire November
l, and from the present time until
then the railroads look for a large
number of arrivals here from eastern
points of people who take advantage
of the low rates to make their homes
in this section of California.
The colonist traffic this fall has
been large, and in excess of the colo-
mist traffic of last year. Most of the
colonists who come to California by
way of Los Angeles remain in this sec
ton of country, the climate and nat
ural advantages making it apparent
that this part of the state, both in it's
urban and country life, presents an
unrivaled combination of advantages
for the citizen who wishes to become
a member of a rapidly growing COM
munity."
While there are no exact statistics
available, the Santa Fe officials esti-
mate that the colonist traffic on their
lines is from thirty-three to fifty per
cent heavier this year than it was last
year.
Regular trains are heavily loaded
and the colonist traffic from the CEN
tral west is particularly large as COM
pared with other sections of the coun-
try.
Railroad officials say that advices
from the east lead them to look for
heavy passenger traffic this Witner.
Commercial conditions in the east are
favorable, the summer just past mas
been distinguished by no unfavorable
characteristic that would lead people
to abandon plans of travel, and the
result of the prosperity in the east will
undoubtedly be an unusually heavy
volume Of traffic bound toward Los
Angeles this winter.
The coming convention of the We
mans Christian Temperance Union
will bring a great number of visitors
to the city. The Salt Lake route will
bring from 500 to 800 persons by it's
line. The white ribbon special will az
rive here next Monday morning at 10
o'clock. The train consists of two Soc
tions from Chicago and brings 500 del
egates.
The Santa Fe will bring in 115 dele
gates from st. Louis and Kansas City
on two special trains, arriving next
Tuesday. A heavily loaded special
train from New England will also ar
rive on Tuesday over the Santa Fe.
The officials say that their regular
trains are heavily loaded just now and
that the coming of so many white rib
boners makes them particularly busy.
