SEEKS TO ENFORCE
LAW AGAINST SPLITTING
MUNICIPAL LEAGUE TRIES TIC
STOP HABIT
Police Commission Asked to Take Fur
Their Steps to Apply Ordinance In
Vicinity of First and Main-Ask
That Liquor Licenses Be Revoked

The Municipal league wants the or
dinance against splitting on the side
walks enforced and respectfully sug-
gested to the police commission at its
last session that active measures be
taken to have the filthy practice
stopped. The recommendation of the
league was considered in an executive
session of the commission but what
action was taken on this and another
question in which the league is in
terested will not be announced until
the commission sees fit.
The second proposition with which
the league is concerned is to secure
better order on the corners of Main
and First and Los Angeles and First
streets. The league charges that
habitual loafers and drunken men make
these corners rendezvous and insult
women as they pass.
About eight weeks ago the league
sent a communication to the board
recommending that the licenses of sew
eral Of the sixteen saloons doing bust
ness in this neighborhood be revoked,
as they habitually violated the or
dinances. None OF the licenses was re-
voked. The league claims that only d
half hearted attempt was made to clear
up the neighborhood of the loafers
Order prevailed for week or two, but
the secretary of the league states that
conditions now are as bad as ever.

FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
0UTGROWS QUARTERS
MAY BE COMPELLED TO LIMIT
MEMBERSHIP
At the First Session of the Year Mrs.
Ernest K. Foster Urges the Need
of Conservatism Coupled With
Liberty

Restrict the membership or build a
new club house. Which shall it be?
This is the question which members
of the Friday Morning club must face.
The club met yesterday in the Wom-
ans club house on Figueroa street for
the initial session of the season. An
amendment to the constitution which
will limit the membership to 900 has
been proposed, and the question will
come before the club to be voted upon
at an early meeting.
There are at present 925 names on the
membership list, but all are not active
members, and it is thought possible to
limit the actual membership to 900
without dropping any of the present
members. The club is growing in popu-
larlty and applications are being re-
ceived at all times.
The club has a lease on the Woman's
club house from the Club House asso-
citation, and as this does not expire for
some time it is improbable that another
building will be erected at present
Mrs. Ernest K. Foster presided at the
meeting yesterday and the club men,
bers were greeted by Madame Caroline
M. Severance, president emeritus.
Mrs. Foster delivered the annual pres
idents address, in which she spoke
forcibly of the power for good which a
womans club may be.
conservatism coupled with liberty,
should be the club slogan" she said,
and in the remarks which followed she
showed the many ways in which women
may be conservative and yet use their
liberty to think and act.
The social side was also dwelt upon
and the new president recommended
that the members learn to know each
other better.
Before the members adjourned to
enjoy the club luncheon and social
hour reports from the book and pro-
gram committees were heard.

Doan's Kidney Pills Cure Los Angeles Bad Backs
Testimony of Los Angeles People Proves Their Merit

A bad back is a back that aches after
every little exertion. Sick kidneys
cause that kind of a weak back, and a
kidney bad back will never be strong
and sound until the kidneys are cured
Backache is really kidneyache-the
aching of overworked, inflamed, con-
gested kidneys. 1t comes right in the
small of the back, where the kidneys
are located. Sometimes the ache is
heavy and dull. Again it changes to
sharp, darting pains, like the thrusts
of knife. 1t seems impossible to stoop
or lift. or bend the back. All night
the aching keeps up, leaving the suf-
ferer tired and lame in the morning.
Backache is a warning that should
be needed. 1t calls attention to the
fact that the kidneys are giving out
that diabetes, dropsy and Bright's Dis
ease are threatened. Don't wait. Help
the kidneys at once. Cure them with
Doans Kidney Pills, the great Amer
lean kidney specific. 1t is the one rem
edy that is recommended by residents
of your own city.

WANT DERRICKS REMOVED
Residents of Second Ward Hold Mass
Meeting to Protest Against
Nuisance

For the purpose of urging the auth
critics to cause the removal of oil der
ricks from the Second ward, a mass
meeting of the residents and property
owners has been held at the Congrega-
tional church, corner Metcalf and
Temple streets.
The mule corral and oil treating
plant conducted by the Parker, Nor
rill & OFT company came in for con-
siderable of the censure. The hay barn
connected with the establishment was
set on fire a few days ago by a mis-
chievous boy, and the residents are
fearful of a conflagration in the oil
treating plant.
The Temple Street Improvement
association was getting up a petition
to present to the council at the time
of the fire, warning the fire commits
sioners of the danger.

Such is the menu for an ideal din
ner, according to Mrs. Arthur Smith
of New York city, who has come to
Los Angeles to give a series of parlor
talks before prominent people.
People eat too much" says Mrs.
Smith.
There are certain foods that assist
in cultivating the higher nature.
"a nation of flesh eaters will Gull
inmate in a nation of disbelievers in
spirituality, and a nation of people ad-
dicted to corporal passions.
mo one should ever eat more than
two meals day, and these should be
light.
why should people want to eat
corpses when they can have good nVe
food? Here in California the people
ought to want nothing better than this
delicious California fruit Meat slim
ulates the blood, but has no nutriment.
No food that stimulates is good.
"Oliver Wendell Holmes spoke the
truth when he said that people dig
their graves with their teeth. If peo-
pie did not eat so much they would
live longer. They would keep their
own teeth and hair and would be able
to see better"
Evils of Heavy Eating
Mrs. Smith says that heavy eating
makes extra work for the heart and
this results in the organ giving out.
IF we would eat only to be nour-
ished our hearts would not have to
pump 50 much blood 10 get rid of what
we cannot absorb says she.
Mrs. Smith was born in India of
English parents, and she says that
many of her ideas have come from
20 of nj
oriental countries. Her father was an
English army officer and she numbers
among her acquaintance some of the
most noted men and women of the
day.
This marriage of the east and the
west is the greatest union the world
has known" says Mrs. Smith. 1T
will result in combining the best that
orientalism has to give with the west
ern civilization. The people of the
Orient live higher lives than you of
the west. The Indian does not have
govt or other diseases such as the peo-
pie here have, and many of the Eng
lish officers are following his example
and giving up meat.
IF people live the simple life they
have time for the cultivation of the
higher nature and they should eat the
foods which will assist in cultivating
that nature.
This get-rich- quick spirit in Amer
lea is pitiful; everything for money
and then what have you got?'
Mrs. Smith will give the first of
series of parlor talks in the drawing
room of Mrs. Charles Loomis at the
Angelus hotel, Thursday afternoon,
speaking on THE Orlentalsm of En-
erson" Tuesday evening she will be-
gin course on Foods That Assist in

FAIR PRISONER
IS IDENTIFIED
VICTIM SAYS SHE RECOGNIZES
MRS. DAVIS
Police Claim They Have Ample Evil
dence to Establish Guilt of the
Woman Arrested in Pos
session of JeweIry

Evidence was procured by the police
yesterday which they say positively
establishes the guilt and identity OF
Nellie Davis, who was arrested last
Wednesday night by Detectives Ritch
and Talamantes, and who was at that
time thought to be the author of a
series of sneak-thief jobs which have
extended over a period of four months,
when Mrs. Olive George of 914 West
Fifth street and Mrs. S. Lambert of
SIG South Figueroa street identified
Mrs. Davis as the woman whom they
had seen in their respective houses
on July II, 1905.
On that date Mrs. Lambert missed
ring from her home. This was found
among the collection OF jewelry in pos
session of Mrs. Davis Further evil
dence strongly bearing out the theory
Of the police was the identification OF
a watch, worn by Mrs. Davis at the
time of her arrest, as being the property
of Mrs. S. M. Shyland of 524 West Pico
street.
The total amount of jewelry found
upon Mrs. Davis and in her apartments
is sixteen rings and five watches. Thir
teen of the former decorated the pris
oner's hand at the time of her arrest.
According to the police, the fair pris-
oner's mudus operandi was to watch
for an open door and boldly walk into
the house, and if no one happened &c
be within sight, swoop down on every
thing which could be easily concealed
upon her person.
Talked Most convincineIy
If discovered by the occupants of the
house she would apologize in the sweet
est tones and most convincingly explain
that she was in search of cheap fur
nished rooms which she could use for
housekeeping purposes and thought be-
cause the door was open" that she
had the liberty to walk in without any
front door ceremony.
Her 'eagle eye" as the detectives
termed it, never failed to miss any
thing of a concealable size. 1t was
rare occurrence when nothing was
missed after her departure. Severa
times the occupants of the houses which
she had entered took up a hunt for her
But the woman vanished like q mist
The police know of ten such robberies
and each instance the description oil
the woman furnished correspondent tC
that of the clever Mrs. Davis.
One of the many covers Mrs. Davis
Is said to have used was that Of tax
ing her little 12-year- daughter with
ner Wnen Sne went on ner searches lol
furnished rooms for housekeeping"
Acting on the belief that some infor.
nation could be CLEANED from the little
girl, the police, detectives and the
matron of the city Jail have questioned
her closely. But all without avail
The matrons think the daughter ha:
been well coached by her mother, Us
she positively denies any knowledge Of
the thefts.
A great deal of other property which
was found in Mrs. Davis apartments
is now in the hands of the police
Several people who have been victim
