Alcohol as a Medicine

One of Canada's most prominent physi-
clans. in writing to the Montreal Medical
Journal, a treatise on alcohol, says ii is
neither a poison nor a panacea, but its
sation. including that of fatigue, allaying
subjective symptoms, relieving nervous
strain. and promoting rest He says II Is
valuable as a food; as 1t places no tax on
the digestive organs, and If used as judi
ciously as directed, Increases their secre'
tlons.
In infections OF all forms. he advises
cautious use of alcohol; and at a eonyen-
tion the leading doctors of the world have
decided that DUFFY'S MALT WHISKEY
Is the purest and best form of alcohol.
They say 1t is a form of food already di-
gested; that 1t enriehes the blood, stimu-
lates the heart action, invigorates the
brain, and kills all decay and diseased
germs In the system.
For fifty years the makers of DUFFY
PURE MALT WHISKEY have taken
every precaution in the manufacture OF
same to see that no impurities whatever
are permitted. and 4 is owing to its pur-
ity and excellence that 1t has been such
wonderful factor In the medicinal world

by asking division of the property
Lawton filed a general denial and
accused his wife of multitude of sins.
He alleged that she had cursed him on
frequent occasions; that she had made
the most horrible and vile remarks
about himself, his first wife and all
his relatives, referring to them as men
and women of bad character. On one
occasion when Lawton, according to
his allegations, was trying to cook his
own breakfast after his wife had re-
fused to cook it for him, she became
angered, turned the skillet over on
him, threw a flatiron at him, attempted
to hit him on the head with a chair
and was only prevented from doing so
by the chair colliding with the overhead
gas fixtures. The husband said that he
did not tear buttons off his wife's
clothes but tore his former wife's gold
studs from his present wife's garments
when the latter made, slanderous re-
marks about his first wife.

SUE MORLEY FOR DAMAGES
Stockholders in Baseball Association
Say Magnate Surrendered Franz
.chise Without Their Consent

The harbinger of what promises to be
a thorough stirup and investigation of
the recent troubles of the Los Angeles
division of the Pacific Coast Baseball
league appeared in the superior court
yesterday in the filing of suit for
damages for $35, 900 against James Nor
lev. All Levy, John Brink and the Los
Angeles Baseball association by Thomas
j. Stephens and j. F. Edwards.
stephens and Edwards are stock
holders in the former local association
which controlled the league franchise
for this city Stephens owns twenty
shares of stock, purchased at $40 per
share, while Edwards has ninety-hve
shares of the stock.
They accuse James Morley, former
manager of the local association, with
having forfeited the franchise without
permission or direction from the mem
bers of the board of directors.

Says Wife Was a Kicker

He further accused his wife of hav-
ing seriously injured him by kicking
him when he demonstrated with her for
writing a letter to the railway COM
pany. Lawton finished his cross COM
plaint with general denial of the
allegations against him and set forth
that his wife, in addition to other per-
formances, had rushed out in the back
yard of her own free will and yelled for
help to complain that he was abusing
her, and that she tied a rope about her
own neck and caused abrasions which
she showed to witnesses whom she ex-
pected to use at the divorce proceed
ings and told them that her husband
had choked her.
The last clause of Lawton's cross
complaint alleged that his wife hit him
Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-04

on the head with a bread knife and
shot him in the shoulder.
Mrs. Lawton on the witness stand
yesterday testified that Lawton had
threatened to kill her, whereupon she
told him to give the gun to her and
she would save him the trouble. He
handed her the revolver, according to
her testimony. and she broke it, open
to see if it was loaded. In swapping
back the gun, she testified, it had
accidentally discharged, shooting her
husband in the shoulder.
1t is supposed that the trial will con-
tinue for the next two or three days.

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have i'll
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages, or by too close contine-
ment TO home, Office or factory, and In
consequence the stomach must be treated
in a natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people, In fact in every weary
thin and thin blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. AS q result
fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutritive aid is
ahead of the supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from the blood GER
tain materials and return to 1t certain
others, 1t is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work Of taking up from
the food what is necessary to make good,
rich,' ,'red blood. We must go to Nature
for the remedy. There were certain
roots known TO the Indians of this
country before the advent Of the whites
which later came TO the knowledge Of
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly in professional favor for the cure
of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found to be safe and yet GER
tain in their cleansing and invigorating
effect upon the stomach, liver and blood.
These are: Golden Seal root, Queens
root, Stone root, Bloodroot, Mandrake
root. Then there Is Black Cherry bark.
The medicinal principles residing In these
native roots when extracted with glyc-
crime as a solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in
vigorator, when combined in just the
right proportions, as In DR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Where there
is bankrupt vitality such as nervous
exhaustion, bad nutrition and thin
blood, the body acquires vlgor and the
nerves, blood and all the tissues feel the
favorable effect of this sovereign remedy
Although some physicians have been
aware of the high medicinal value OF the
above mentioned plants, yet few have
used pure glycerine as a solvent and
usually the doctors prescriptions called
for the ingredients in varying amounts.

BOTH TIRE OF
welded LIFE
HUSBAND AND WIFE SEEK
DIVORCE
If Allegations of Either Are True, Life
in the Lawton Home Was
Strenuous in the
Extreme

On accusations of most unusual
nature Elizabeth T.. Lawton and Sam
uel G. Lawton of Adams street, hus-
band and wife. have based their
claims for divorce from one another
before Judge Smith of department one
of the superior court.
Both want dtcrees of divorce on the
ground of cruelty and from the allega-
tions set forth in their petitions and
testified to in part before Judge Smith
yesterday, their short period of mar
ried life was crowded with strange
happenings which deeply interested the
neighbors.
AS a result yesterday there were ten
women in court, called to give choice
bits of evidence relative to the con-
fiicts of a personal character occurring
at the Lawton home.
The couple were married in San Diego
July IS, 1900, Lawton, the groom, hav-
| ing been married once before. He is a
mining promoter and owns considerable
property in Los Angeles, which includes
half interest in prosperous tobacco
| concern.
Honeymoon Short
According to the testimony offered
by the wife yesterday the trouble in
| the Lawton family began to assume a
! personal character within few weeks
|
months ago when Mrs. Lawton shot her
husband through the shoulder, using
his own revolver for the target prac-
tice.
Among the allegations testified to by
| the woman yesterday are the following:
During January of 1908. she said, her
husband attacked her and gave her a
severe drubbing, calling her vile names
and hitting her with his fist so that
for weeks her face was swollen and dis
| colored from the blows.
A short time thereafter she was in
jured In a street car wreck and when
she attempted to write a letter to the
company asking for redress she testi-
fled her husband called her vile names
and forbade her to send the letter, say
ing he wished that the street car had
killed her.
During another argument some time
later Mrs. Lawton said her husband
had struck her and had called her
names, whereupon she sank down upon
sofa, fainting with fright. She al
legged that Lawton attempted to revive
her by throwing her off the sofa to tbs
floor, where he proceeded to pound hen
head against the boards.
Tells of Cruelty
Mrs. Lawton further testified thai
Lawton tore buttons off her clothes anc
threw her garments out or the house
that he choked and beat her and called
her vile names without provoeation
that he brought his sister to the house

YOUNG BIRDS EVER IN PERIL.
A Wonder He Ever Grows Up, Ne Has
So Many Enemies.

So many dangers beset young birds
between the time they are Matched
and the time when they are able to
take care of themselves 1t is q won
der that so many Of them reach matur-
ity. That any Of them do so is prob
ably due to the fact that this period
Of helplessness is comparatively short,
averaging perhaps three weeks with
the majority of our perching birds.
During the period of incubation the
nest is comparatively safe; as rule
1t is inconspicuous, often carefully
hidden, and the sitting bird is usually
silent.
AS soon as the tender chicks break
through the shells of the eggs 1t be-
comes difficult matter indeed for
the parents to keep their secret from
hundred enemies more pitiless than
any storm, and whose eyes, ears and
noses are ever ready to detect the
presence of such dainty and available
morsels as nesting birds.
The feeding of the little ones and
the cleaning of the nest necessitate
scores of visits daily on the part of the
old birds, and quietly as the work
is usually done, so much passing back
and forth to a given point is very
often apt to attract undesirable atten'
ton. Then the young birds them
selves seem very indiscreet and fire.
uuently make so much ado when their
parents arrive with food that they
seeem to invite every enemy within
sight or hearing.
The young of birds which build on
the ground are perhaps the ones which
are subject to the greatest number OF
dangers. Fortunate it Is for them
that they know no evil-that their in
born fear is latent and does not de-
velop until such time as it shall profit
them to be afraid, until they are able
to fly and thus escape the dangers they
are afraid Of
White footed mice in all probability
destroy young birds occasionally,
since they are fond of animal food,
Personally, have never seen a gray
squirrel injure birds nest, but l
think there is enough good evidence
Forthcoming to convict him of at least
occasionally eating both eggs and
nestlings. Red squirrels and chip
hunks have been caught in the act
so often that they may be regarded as
habitual criminals.
In proportion to their numbers
however, 1t is doubtful If squirrels dc

wrought by the domestic cat. The lat

more so because of the strong hold
