STARTING LA FIESTA

The Importance Of getting an early
start in a great undertaking is realized
by the men whom Los Angeles depends
upon to insure next year the most
magnificent festal attraction ever witt
messed in the United states.
The time fixed for La Fiesta In 1907
is May to II. The opening date Is
three-fourths Of year in the future
plus few days II would not be neces-
sary to start the preliminary work so
far in advance If only a normal effort
were Intended But Los Angeles got
Its bristies Up last spring. when Cold
feet Collins killed the Shriner feature
of the Fiesta. and vow was registered
then to make next years festival really
"the greatest show on earth"
The men who are entrusted with the
task of making this program material
ize know by experience that they are
tacklng a big undertaking. They are
confident of their own ability. however
and they feel assured OF ample public
support, financial and sympathetic.
An earnest of the scope of plans pro-
jected for the Fiesta of 1907 is seen in
the fact that the sum Of money neces-
sary for the purpose is set at the
goodly figure of S5OOO There is no
question that the public verdict will be-
on witnessing the result, Its well
worth it." There is nothing small about
Los Angeles in any respect, least of
all is there any inclination to hold back
the needful cash to show the world
what the metropolis of Southern Cali
fornia can do in the Fiesta line when
its bristles are perpendicular.
The time fixed for the Fiesta next
year is coincident with the call for the
session of the imperial council of. the
Mystic Shrine. The Toronto gentleman
with the frigid pedals has ceased full
minating "edicts," by reason of cir
cumstances over which he had no con-
troll, and the Shriners promise to-
gather at Los Angeles in such numbers
as they have rarely if ever mustered
before the Toronto gentleman among
them.
1t is up to the Los Angeles people
now to provide the funds necessary to
carry out the plans of the Fiesta man.

pageant as this city is capable of pre-

SANE OLD STORY

Two correlative news dispatches in
Wednesdays Herald afford an inter-
esting subject for study. The first one
is a report of earnings of the United
States steel corporation (the billion dol
lar steel trusD for the quarter year
ending June 80. 1t is shown that the
net earnings of the concern during that
period reached the stupendous sum of
$40,125,03S, at the rate Of more than
$160,000,000 a year. The net earnings
were nearly $1OOOO0OO in excess of the
figures for the like period last year.
The second dispatch referred to was
from a small town near Pittsburg.
Here are brief extracts from it: This
little town, the former home of w.
Ellis Corey and his wife Laura, is to-
day much excited over the news from
Nevada that the wife of the head of
the United States steel corporation has
been granted a divorce so quickly.
Mrs. Laura Cook Corey has host of
friends in Braddock, where she was
reared and where she formerly sewed
patches on the trousers of Corey when
he was a poor lad working for forty
dollars per month"
Today w. e. Corey is the head of the
greatest industrial corporation in the
world, and is personally a multimillion-
aire. The Braddock dispatch says "the
price paid by Corey to his wife was
$S,OOO,OOO, her promise being given that
she would not bring the name of Ma
belle Gilman nor any other woman
into the case"
The old story. A couple presumably
happy in the days of their poverty,
each working with a will for the bare
comforts of a home. Then came the
husbands ascent of the ladder of for
tune, slow and toilsome in the early
days, then more rapid and easier
until at last the dizzy perch of the mil
lionaire was reached. At that lofty
height the charms Of the woman who
formerly sewed patches on his trous-
ers" began to fade. His great wealth
and prominence brought him into con-
tact with the gay world, and the
strength of character that served to
boost him on fortunes ladder sue
cumbed before footlight favorites.
The world is full of Coreys, of great
er or less financial proportions. 1t is
in the realm of poverty and adversely,
not that of wealth and prosperity, that
we most often find the kind of char
acter that will stand the acid test and
show pure gold in the crucible. But
when it climbs too high it falls.

Angeles are known to be well conducted
in respect to cleanliness and santa
ton. retailers in the meat line note n
considerable decrease In their meat or
ders since the exposures in eastern
packing houses So seriously has the
business Of some of these dealers been
crippled that II is a question whether
conditions warrant a continuance of
business. In some cases, as The Herald
Is advised, some dealers already have
been forced out of business. although
formerly enjoying prosperous trade.
This condition Of affairs is only tenn
porary. Of course as enforced reforms
will restore public confidence, causing
the fright gradually to subslde. As
a matter of fact, the possible injury
by food adulteration probably
has been greatly magniied. Such doc
torlng OF foods has been going on from
time immemorial," abroad as well as
In the United States, and all the time
the population of the earth has been

The millonares at the top are ac-
countable for all the food doctorlng,

CLEVER AMERICAN

A Frenchman, German, an English
man and an American were sitting be-
fore an open fire. each one telling of
the greatness of his native country.
While speaking the Frenchman took
from his wallet a dollar bill, rolled 1t
up. touched II to the Goals and lighted
cigar with IL.
The others were impressed. and soon
the German opened his wallet brought
forth a so bill. rolled 1t up. touched it
to the Goals and lighted his cigar with
it,
The Englishman thought ii very fool
ish. but he could not be outdone nor
have 1t appear that England was not,
as ever the richest OF all, so he calmly
took 500 bill and sacrificed 1t to light
his cigar. NJ
The American looked on in wonder.
He hadn't even a dollar bill with him
and yet he knew he represented the
leading race of all-which was never
outwitted nor outdone by any one or
any country; so he quietly drew forth
a checkbook, wrote a check for $4,000
on a prominent New York bank. duly
signed II, rolled it up, touched it to the
Goals and lighted his cigar with 1t,
while his confreres watched him curl
ously and intensely.-Ladies' Home

WHEN is A MAN DEAD?

F'loresco claims to have brought back
life to dogs whose hearts have stopped
from 25 to 40 minutes. He applies cleo
trodes directly to the heart either on
the outside or by needles to the inside
of the ventricles. Danilewsky has
started heart beats in a rabbit twenty
four hours after death and in the auri-
cles three days after death. This he
accomplished by perfusion of the heart
by Locke's solution. Inhibition of this
heart action can be brought about by
applying electrodes at the root of the
aOrta. Locke and Rosenheim perfused
heart that had been hanging in the
la boratory for five days since it's re-
moVal from the rabbits body, and
caused it to give beats of considera BILE
magnitude. Howell, of Johns Hopkins,
concludes from his experiments that in
hibition of the heart depends on the
presence of diffusible potassium COM
pounds in the heart tissue, and that
vagus impulses act indirectly by in
creasing the amount of potassium COM
pounds of this character.
From the physiological standpoint,
therefore, it looks as if the day may
come when death will be cheated of it's
prey, and the heart forced to take up
a again the work that it has laid down.

THE GREATEST SUFFERERS

The greatest hardship resulting from
the exposure of food authorizations falls
upon the shoulders of business men
who are not accountable in any way
for it's frauds These sufferers are re-
tail dealers in the various foodstuffs
that have come under the ban as
consequence of the recent disclosures.
The retail dealer has no better means
than the consumer of knowing all the
constituents of food preparations that
the public demand.
Here in Los Angeles the health au-
thorities are quite as Vigilant as those
of other large American cities in pro-
tecting the public from unhealthful
foods. 1t is quite likely. also, that a
smaller relative proportion of ques-
tionable foods is consumed here
than in the average American city.
1t is certain, anyway, that the people
of Los Angeles are chary in taking
risks in what they purchase for the
table.
It is a we'll known fact, however, that
certain lines Of business in this city
have suffered as result of the revela-
tions about doctored meats and adul-
terated food preparations of various
kinds. Retail meat dealers, groeers and
specialists in table delicaeies generally
report a shrinkage of sales, to greater
or less extent. In the varieties Of foods
that bear the mark of suspicion.

Men, maids and widows hurry
To get aboard and pay their share
OF dividends in worry.

To Nuptial park Suburban.
Connecting thence to Haremtown
For wearers of the turban
A branch extends to Quarreville,
To serve the heavy spenders;
And cars to AlimonY hill
Go loaded to the tenders.
Crowds get aboard at Rival row.
But no one gives his seat up,
And those who sit no interest show
Except to draw their feet up
At Fickle street there's quite a stir
Some take a new direction.
Obtaining there a free transfer
To avenue Rejection.

When there's an accident, 1t starts
The lawyers on their mettle,
With claims for fractured hopes and

And someone has to settle.
No threat of bankruptcy assails

And maids pay theirs in kisses.
For womenfolk. however, there
Are quite two separate classes;
The lovely maids alone pay fare
The others ride on passes.
