"About the latter part Of July my whole

worse all the time, and then I began to
get uneasy and tried all kinds Of baths md

for skin humors; but became worse al!
the time. My hair began to fall out and
my scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as I would get in
bed and get warm, my whole body would
begin to itch and my finger nails would
keep it irritated, and it was not long be-
fore l could not rest night or day. A
friend asked me to try the Cuticura Rene

helped me wonderfully. For about four
weeks I would take d hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura ONT

HAD HEART PAINS
A Critical Case Of rheumatism Cured
Bv Or, Williams Pink Pills.

by DR.. WIitdmS RINK FtHS.
While Mr.. W. S. Geisel, of No. 125
East Coates street, Moberly, Mo-, was
steadily working at his trade in a foun-
dry at that place, he became the victim
of an attack of rheumatism, and his e x
p~erience is that of thousands who are
compelled to work in similar surround
ings. He describes his situation as fol-
lows:
81 had been at work for a long time
i'll a foundry where / was exposed to
dampness. First my feet began to hurt
and to swell, then my knees and my
shoulder joints began to be affected in
the same way. Finally I could not walk
without great difficulty and suffering
and had to stop work altogether. My
appetite was feeble and / grew very pale
and weak. I began to have pains about
my heart and it fiuttered a great deal.
I became greatly alarmed about my con-
dition. My mother knew about the vir-
tues of DIR. Williams Pink Pills, as they
had given her back her health when she
was nearly wasting to death, and when
she found that they were good for rheu-
matism too, she began to give them to
me about a month after l was attacked.
That was in the early part of March,
1908, and by June they had driven away
the pains and swelling and had restored
my appetite and color. Then 1 felt
strong enough to take up a line of out
door work and now, in October, I re-
gard myself as entirely we'll and I am
about to go into a foundry again at st.
Louis"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills also cure
other diseases springing from i'm
pure blood or disordered nerves, such
as scia.ica, locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis and all forms of weakness in
male or female. They may be had at
all druggists or directly from the DR..

For three hours and half last night
Captain Tom Home of Engine COM
pany IA fought to retain his position
on the fire department, where he has
been for twelve years. He was before
the fire commission on charges of
drunkenness and conduct unbecoming
an officer, preferred by Thomas w.
Bridges and his brother-in-law, Bert
Peacock.
These complaints declared that on
the evening of July II at fire at Six
teenth and San Pedro streets, Captain
Home had struck Bridges without
provocation, when ordering him from
the house in which the fire had been
extinguisheC. Bridges claimed that
two blows had been delivered by Cap
tain Home while in the house and that
three additional blows were struck DUR
ing a scuffle in the yard.
Numerous witnesses were introduced
to prove that these blows were struck
and Captain Home admitted that he
had hit Bridges twice, but only in ex-
change of blows and in self defense.
e@ The First Blow
CAPTAIN Home claimed that Bridges
STRUCK the first blow in the house when
he was ordered to leave the premises,
The charge of drunkenness was not
well sustained.
The mayor and Attorney Walter
Haas who represented Home, had a
passage of words while the mayor was
examining Fireman Briden, one Of
Homes witnesses.
McAlecr asked some questions to
which Haas objected.
Il do not propose, while I'm mayor
of this city, to permit a lawyer to come
here and dictate to me-" said the mayor
in angry tones.
But Mr.. Mayor" objected Attor-
ney Haas.
Keep your place or this case will be
dismissed right here" said the mayor.
Assistant Chief O'Donnell told the
commission that Captain Home was one
of the best men on the force and that
his reputation for sobriety was of the
best.
The commission took the case under
advisement and will report at the next
regular meeting Friday morning.

HOTEL COMPANY BRINGS SUIT
Broadway Van Nuys Proprletors Take
Action Against Owner of
New Building

Suit for recovery of several thousand
dollars and for the possession Of prop
erty was filed yesterday in the superior
Hotel company against Mrs. Elizabeth
Martz, owner Of the new hotel building.
According to the allegations set out
in the companys complaint the lease
on the hotel property underwent many
changes before it was finally trans
ferred to the Van Nuys company with
Mrs. Elizabeth Martz as owner.
They allege that the rental Of $500
month was paid regularly until
December "a, when the building was
destroyed by fire.
Since then, during the rebuilding of
the hotel, the directors allege, they
have been willing to pay rental but
that the rental has been refused.
The members of the company further
state that the building was ready for
occupancy month ago and that at
that time they prepared to move in
and again open a hotel, but that Mrs.
Martz refused to allow them to take
charge of the building and refused to
let them furnish the house.
The directors allege that they have
been damaged several thousand dollars
by the delay and that they are entitled
to the building by their lease. They
state, as reason for the trouble, that
the lease fixes the rental at $500, while
it is now worth about $4,000 month.
The case will be fought out in court
wit hin the nexa month.

BEATS ALL CITIES
IN CLEANLINESS
NEW YORK OFFICIAL PRAISES
ANGEL CITY
no Need for skyscrapers, as There Is
Plenty Of Ground for \Expan-
son-No Limits to
Growth

Il am simply surprised at the num-
Der of fine buildings in Los Angeles.
did not guess that the city was half
the size find it and for enterprise and
cleanliness 1t beats any city l was
ever in"
Thus spoke Joseph Gordon, assistant
superintendent of buildings in New
ork, when seen at the Angelus hotel
last evening. Mr. Gordon is making
a pleasure tour of the western states
in company with his wife, and he has
visited most of the large cities of the
north, including Portland Seattle and
San Francisco
Since l left New York 1 have seen
considerable of the country, but I can
truthfully and frankly say that 1 have
seen no city so enterprising as Los
Angeles" said Mr.. Gordon. "Those of
us in the east who have not visited this
coast do not fully realize conditions
here.
"On every hand there are buildings
of good class and more going up all
the time There are very few to let
signs. Both from an architectural and
CONSTITUTIONAL point the buildings are
fine. 1t is true that there is an abb
sence of skyscrapers. but it will never
be necessary to have skyscrapers here.
Plenty of Room
lin New York we have only little
, island with no room for expansion, and
therefore man must build upward If
he is to get his moneys worth. Here
there is plenty of room. You can eX-
pand twenty miles to the coast if nee
essary and as far again to the noun
tains There seems to be no limit to
the possibility for growth.
THE street car system is another
thing which surprises me- There~are
ga liDac tbo
seems to be excellent. 1 really believe
that we easterners could learn some
profitable lessons from you of the
west.
MY wife visited the stores especial
ly the dry goods stores, today, and she
was equally surprised at them"
Mr.. Gordon came to Los Angeles
from San Francisco, where he took
great interest in the few buildings in
course of construction and those being
torn down.
Merely Bonfires
"I was in Baltimore and Chicago Just
after the fire in each of those cities,
but they must have been mere bonfires
compared with the San Francisco fire.
There is much discussion as to the kind
of building that will withstand an
earthquake, but it is my opinion that
1T would be impossible to make such a
building.
"Of course the steel constructed
buildings are the best, but the trouble
i'm the case of an earthquake is not with
the foundation, 1t is below the founda-
tion, therefore no matter how good a
foundation you have the building is
apt to slant from one direction or an
other"
After week spent in sightseeing in
and around Los Angeles, Mr.. Gordon
and his wife will return east by way
