WELCOME WORDS TO WOMEN.

made of native roots-Nature's own
restoratives, compounded after form
uIa concerning which there can be no
question, by skilled chemists and BY
thoroughly scientific processes, Doctor
Pierce is perfectly willing TO let every
one know that his cFAvORITE PRE-
scRrPTIoN" contains Blue Cohosh root,
Lady's Slipper root, Unicorn root, Black
Cohosh root and Golden Seal root.
Every doctor knows that such a pre-
scription is beneficial in the diseases
of women and when properly COM
pounded is certain TO effect cure in
nearly all cases when given fair trial.
Every bottle of the "FAvORTTE PRE-
scRIPTIoN" which leaves DR.. Pierce's
immense laboratories in Buffalo, N. Y,
has plainly printed upon its wrapper
all the Ingredients Of which it is com
posed. Thus DIR. Pierce proves to the
world his own confidence in the REM
edy which for forty years has borne
his name and which is known all
through the United States and Canada,
England, Australia, and in parts OF
South America, Africa and Asia, as
sovereign cure for those diseases which,
unchecked, make our women old be-
fore their time.
II will be noticed that there is no
alcohol in the vFAvoRITE PREsCRIP-
T1oS." DR.. Pierce never believed in
using alcohol in the preparation of his
famous household remedies. For it, he
substitutes chemically pure glycerine,
which has wonderful properties for ex-
tracing the medicinal principles of
roots and preserving them at their full
strength, without any deleterious effect
whatever.
In favor of DR.. Pierce's medicines
is the frank, confiding, open, honest
statement of their full composition,
giving every ingredient in plain En-
gliSh, without fear of successful criti-
cism and with confidence that the
good sense of the afflicted will lead
them to appreciate this honorable man
ner Of confiding to them what they are
taking into their stomachs when max.
ing use of these medicines.
DR.. Pierce feels that he can afford to
take the afflicted into his full conf
dence and lay all the ingredients of
his medicines freely before them be-
cause these ingredients are such as
are endorsed and most strongly praised
by scores of the most eminent medical
writers of all the several schools OF

mended.

MISS GARDNER'S
RE-ENTRY TONIGHT
AT BELASC0'S

Amelia Gardner will make her re-
entry into local theatricals tonight at
the Belasco thea ter.
The play will be David Belasco's S
well-known romance of the war be-
tween the north and the south The
Heart of Maryland" Miss Gardner
will have the role that brought his
trionic fame to Mrs. Leslie Carter.
1t is full of dramatic possibilities, and
the rehearsals presage a performance
tonight of unquestioned worth.
The Belasco management has gone
to unusual ends to make THE Heart
of Maryland" production a record
breaker in point of elabora teness, and
II is promised that the audience to-
night will find quite as much to en-
thuse over in the way the play is
sta ged as in the work of the individual
players. OF course. Miss Gardner will
receive rousing reception; the fact
that the house is sold out makes this
an assured fact.
The Belasco management asserts
that the advance sale for this weeks s
offering has eclipsed all sales in the
history of the house, not even except
ing the opening week of the theater.
The interest local play natrons have
manifested in the return of Miss Gard
ner to Los Angeles is literally enOrm-
Gus and goes a long way toward sub
stantlating the claim that she is the
most popular leading woman that mas
ever appeared here with stock organ
ization. The entire strength of the
Belasco company will be REQUIRED for
1.-The Heart of Maryland" In addition
to the regular force, over eighty auXil-
iary players have been engaged for the
performance.
Walter Beasco. who played the role
of the old church sexton during Mrs.
Carriers appearances in his brothers S
play, both in this country and Eng
land. has come to Los Angeles to par
ticipate in tonight's triumph.

BABY OROWNS
IN A RESERVOIR
While Playing Near House on Laguna
Ranch Frank Gibbons, Infant
Son of Foreman, Meets
Death

Frank Gibbons, the 1S-months-old
son of the foreman of the Laguna
ranch, about a mile from Bell station,
fell into a reservoir about noon yester-
day and was drowned. The little chap
had been playing around the yard near
the house all morning, but was missed
about l o'clock. Search was instantly
begun by all the members of the
household. The boy was found by an
older brother in a reservoir about ten
feet from the back of the house.
The family worked with the lad in an
endeavor to revive him, applying such
remedies as they knew but with no
avail. Meanwhile word had been sent
to DR.. Weber of Los Angeles, but when
he reached the house the boy had been
dead for some time.
1t is thought that the lad uncon-
sciously, in his play, ran into the open
tank. The brother who found him
said that he thought he heard a cry
just before the child was missed, but as
the call was not repeated he paid no
attention to it.
The body was brought to Los Angeles
last night. An inquest will be held by
Coroner Trout today

"SECRET SERVICE"
SHOW SECOND
WEEK THRILLS

The second week of Secret Service
Sam" at the Grand opened with
matinee Yesterday.
AS detective play "Secret Service
Sam" is wonderful. The detective,
played by Harrison King. spends most
of his time eluding the law which, sup
posititiously. he supports.
1t is a thriller of darkest color and
for that reason it appeals to the Grand
clientele. Widest excitement is prev
alent most of the time, and it is diff
cult to hear the dialogue on the stage
on account of the shouts of the audi
ence.
Harrison King is a very busy person
in "Secret Service Som" With extra
ordinary powers of insight, he COM
bines skill in legerdemain that would
bring blush of shame to the face of
Hermann the Great. Every separate
and individual moment of the play
there are big doings and the action
never drags to any extent whatever.
4 revolver fastened to a table. which
kept constant aim at the villain while
he was in the room, was novel stage
effect.
Lillian Hayward is given an excel
lent opportunity to demonstrate her
ability as heavy woman
Miss Smell is not happily cast. She
appears to much better advantage in
plays that are more subdued in tone
and which have less of the bang-bang
of melodrama.
Myrtle selwyn looks most attractive
in trousers.
Frank Frayne is good as the Irish
butler There are several sorts of dia-
leCt that Frayne does not altogether
''sabe." as the Mexican would say, but
considering the multitude of character
perts which he plays 1t is remarkable
that he does so well. He is a clever
character actor.
Next week a soldier play is promised

From the view point Of the average
man housework is very easy. The wife
is right at home. She is her own mis-
tress. She can sit down and rest any
time. She can even 90 TO bed for a nap
IL she feels like it. She can order her
household affairs just TO suit her own
convenience. II she doesn't feel equal
to doing work to-day, she can do it
tomorrow. That's the beautiful theory
of the average man.
Just suppose the Egyptian task-mas-
ters, when they made the required
daily tale of bricks tax the uttermost
of human strength, had said TO the
toiling slaves, "Don't hurry, take a
rest every now and then - only don't
forget that your tale of bricks must
be all right at night or else there'n be
trouble.p
There's the fact. There are the
days duties to be got through, and the
women who can rest may not. The
woman, who, when she married, said,
vNow, I'll be my own MISTRESS" finds
herself slave to household cares and
duties.
And oh how much that woman
needs rest sometimes. She brushes and
scrubs, and rolls pastry, her temples
throbbing, her back aching, her nerves
quivering under the stress of pain.
What she would give if she could just
creep upstairs and throw herself on the
bed in darkened room and rest.
Rest would temporarily relieve the
strain, doubtless, but it would be the
same story over again tomorrow. The
real need of weak, nervous women is
strength, and that need is fully met
and satisfied by DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. 1t makes weak women
strong and sick women we'll 1t re-
moves the causes of women's weak
ness, tranquilizes and invigorates the
nerves, encourages the appetite and
induces restful sleep. "Favorite Pre-
scription" is a positive cure for the
most complicated and obstinate cases
of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, pain
full menstruation, unnatural suppress
sions and Irregularities, prolapsus or
falling of the womb, weak back, "female
weakness" anteversion, retroversion,
bearing-down sensations, chronic con-
gestion, Inflammation and liberation
of the womb, inflammation, pain and
tenderness of the ovaries, accompanied
with "internal heat"

"BEAUTY SHOPS"
SECOND WEEK AT
THE H0TCHKISS

The second week for the Beauty
Shop" began at the Hotchkiss yester-
day afternoon.
The lines have been changed consd-
erably and the burlesque Is better than
ever.
Kolb and Dill and Ben Dillon form a
trio of fun manufacturers that are hard
to beat. The Dutch dialect is we'll done
and the tough boy of Ben Dillon Is ex-
cellent.
The doll dance in the second act has
also been altered somewhat.
The chorus which is now on at the
Hotchkiss is by far the best that has
been at that house for several years.
The prize fight scene has also been
changed somewhat.
Next week "Roly-Poly" will be the
Offering of the burlesque house.
Tonight the first appearance of Lille
Sutherland, who has been at Fischer's
and the Mason for several seasons, will
take place.

Salt Lake City has an advantage over

MINING STORY
PLEASES MANY
BURBANK PLAYERS OFFER
"TENNESSEE'S PARDNER"
Dram stization Of Bret Harte's Tale
Does Not Lack Good Points as
Portrayed by Main Street
Stock Company

"Tennessees Pardner" the mining
town melodrama at the Burbank this
week. affords healthy evenings en-
tertainment. 1t has enough good COM
mon sense philosophy in it to keep it
from growing old in twice or even three
times the number of "revivals" 1t has
had.
The members of the Burbank stock
company are never seen to better adj
vantage than when portrayng the
good, plain people of the mountains, or
the country folk of the rural drama.
Blanche Hall has role in which she
Is most charming. She is the simple
little Tennessee who comes into the
mountains in search of a father, only
to find him dead. She is the wlnsome
little maid who wins her way into the
hearts of the big miners and finally
has to prompt her blind partner in a
very straightforward way before he
manages to see that she loves him.
Her innocence is refreshing and acts
as an antidote for the villainies of the
villain. William Desmond Is Caleb
Swan, Tennessee's pardner and the
man who is always Legitimate and
high toned" even If he is card dealer.
Mr.. Desmond wears a frock coat, q
sombrero and, that luxury in mining
camp, Whte shirt. Needless 10 say,
he is impressive. John W. Burton sup
plies most of the comedy as Gewilliker
Hay, a magnificent liar. and his pam
tomime accompaniment to the song
speciality of Henry Stockbridge is
ludicrous These specialties of Henry
Stockbridge are becoming more popu-
lar every week with Burbank patrons

grasp the fact. This week it is
Cheyenne" Nothing like having a
man attached to stock company who
can do all kinds of stunts"
Harry Mestayer a Aca Bice gives a
good picture of miner with heart of

bits of character work and Nina Glea-
son and Brenda Fowler round out the

MINING GROWING IN ARIZONA
Attorney Says Industry Is on Increase.
Believes Statehood Bill Will
Be Rejected

,"There is a great future for the min
ing business in Arizona" said Col.
Frank Cox, general attorney for the
Southern Pacific Railroad company at
the Tucson division, when seen at the
Hollenbeck hotel last night. Eastern
and western capital is rapidly finding
its way into the territory and bringing
about very satisfactory results.
"In the Hassayampa river district
much excitement has been caused lately
through the discovery of new fields and
later developments of several of the
older properties. New companies are
daily opening up in this district and
people are fiocking there. Some of the
richest placer claims in Arizona will
undoubtedly be located in this district.
AT Wittenberg record strikes have
been made within the past few months.
Coarse gold, placer products and dry
washing products are showing up in
good shape all through the latter dis
trict."
Col Cox says that when the question
of choosing what to do with the bill on
statehood which was signed and sub
mitted by the president comes up be-
fore the Arizonans the latter will i'm
mediately reject 1t.
