BEGINS WAR ON
PATENT MEDICINES
BOARD OF HEALTH MEANS TO
ENFORCE LAW
Death KneII of "Fake" Preparations
Is Sounded, Provided Statutes
Give the Power to
Proceed

The death knell of fake" patent
medicines in Los Angeles will soon be
sounded If the board of health finds
| that it has free hand to deal with
them. At the last meeting of the board
the secretary was instructed to confer
with the city attorney and report at
the next meeting all the laws, state
and city, governing the manufacture
and sale of patent medicines.
This step was taken at the instance
of Dr. E. M. Palette, member of the
board, who believes that the time is
now ripe for an active crusade against
| the fake nostrums that form a large
part of the business of Los Angeles
druggists.
"A popular agitation has recently
| been begun against patent medicines
ated into nothing but compounds of
poisons and opiates and instead of be-
| ing a benefit are a positive detrimens
to the general health" said DR.. Pal
lette yesterday. There is an old state
law that stipulates that all patent med
icines containing poisons or opiates
shall have the formula printed on the
label. This law is thirty years old, yet
there is hardly an instance in which
1t has been enforced. If there is any
reason why this law cannot be en-
forced the board has a perfect right
to ask for city ordinance to this ef-
feet and if it is necessary we will do
So"
Board Will Act
AS soon as the board knows it's po-
sition from a legal standpoint, that
body will take active steps to see that
the law is implicitly complied with.
The city chemist will be instructed
to secure samples of all patent medi-
cines that are believed to violate the
law and analyses for poisons and OPT
ates will be made. On the report of
the city chemist warrants will be
sworn out and the cases fought
through the courts.
Il know there is a state law to
this effect" said DR.. Palette, "for
just a short time ago we received a
communication from the San Francis
co board of health advising us that
they had stopped the sale of certain

FANS BREATHLESS
OYER The WINDUP
Close Finish in the Big Leagues
Keeps Interest at Fever
Heat.
New York Sun Special Service.


New York, Sept. 27.-Two weeks ago base
ball followers had settled who were to be the
pennant winners IN the two major leagues and
were already commencing to figure on whether
the giants or the Athletics would walk of with
the post-season series. Philadelphia fans, with
few exceptions, chose tine Athletics and the
New York bleacherites almost as body backed
the giants. Now the partizans of the two cities
are wondering who will really take the pennants
In the two leagues.
In the National league the pennant still ap-
pears safe for the locals If Pittsburg had con-
hnued its winning streak during the past week
when New York slumped at Chicago. McGraw's
pennant aspirations would have been in pre-
carious condition, but as luck or the interests
of the game would have it the pirates followed
the giants lead and took the opportunity to also
drop few games. Consequently they have kept
about the same distance behind the New York
ers, and unless they duplicate the feat Of
Providence in the Eastern league and the giants
at the same time continue last weeks losing
streak the pennant will stay at the Polo
grounds.
The Athletics, however, have a row to hoe
in order to maintain their position. At present
Philadelphia has lead of but seven points over
Com1skey's men, who are now playing at Boston,
while Detroit Is the opponent of the Athletics
at Philadelphia. If the Chicagoans win the ma
jority of the games in the Philadelphia series
they would leave Philadelphia leaders In the
race with good chance to maintain their ad-
vantage. So, after all, it may not be the Ath.
letics who will represent the American league
in the final struggle Of the year.
1t would be a strange thing If the Highland
ers should have been the cause Of the down.
fall Of the Athletics and the elevation of the
whitesox, for they certainly have checked the
Athletics and boosted Comiskey's men. If the
highlanders have any enemy in the league it is
the Chicago team, with whom they had trouble
all the season. On the other hand, the Athletics
have been friendly to Griffith all thru the year
Mack loaned the highlanders Powers when Grit
fiths catching staff was in the hospital and the
relations between Mack and Griffith have beer
very cordial. So that if the highlanders, by
their erratic play during the past two series
have killed Mack's chances and pulled Comis
keys, 1t will be regretted In certain circles.

The scrimmage yesterday between the college
and varsity teams somewhat longer than
heretofore. The play started with the ball in
the varsity's possession on the college 3o-yard
line. From that point it was taken over the
goal line on short, steady gains. The touchdown
made by Roome and was the first of the
year. The college team was then given the
ball and beat the varsity back to its own goal
line when time was called.
The last part Of the afternoons work was
given up to receiving kickoff. The varsity
used the formation played last year in which
Captain Shevlin received the ball in the posi-
ton of the fullback and is used to advance
the ball whenever possible. Around him are
the guards and tackle, with the ends and backs
thrown out as Interference.
