COUNCILMEN PLAN
CONFERENCE WITH
RAILWAY MAGNATE
TO OTALK OWL CARS WITH HUNTINGTON
Much disappointment Felt Because of Inability
to Inaugurate a Late Service Without
Further Delay-CityA Says
Ordinance Will Be Effective

Bitter disappointment was the portion
OF the special committee Of the city
council on "owl cars" yesterday MORN
ing. They could not get an interview
with Henry F.. Huntington because Mr..
Huntington was not In the city.
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning
Councilmen Kern and Healy, members
of the special committee, met at the
city hall and anxiously waited for
Houghton, chairman of the committee.
For more than an hour they im-
patiently shifted their feet, but still
the chairman Of the committee did not
arrive. At last he came, but in no
very pleasant frame of mind.
While his colleagues had been wait
ing for him at the city hall Couneilman
Houghton had been trying to arrange
an interview with Mr.. Huntington so
that there need be no delay when the
committee called on him. But Hough-
ton was told that Mr.. Huntington was
"out of town" Fearing that this might
be merely an evasion, Houghton spent
nearly an hour attempting to learn IL 1t
was true that Mr. Huntington was not
in Los Angeles.
VIII SONTcT monudy
eff he's in the city we want to confer
with him, wherever he Is. : have my
automobile here and can take the COM
mittee to Mr.. Huntington" he said.
But Mr.. Huntington could not be found,
and Mr.. HoughtOn and the other MEM
bers of the committee were relunctantly
forced to the conclusion that Hunting
ton really was out of the city.
Through Attorney Dunn they made
arrangements to meet the railway mag
nate at o'clock Monday morning, be-
fore the city council meets.
The death of City Engineer Stafford
also had its effect in delaying the con-
ference over the "owl car" question.
While every member of the committee
was on hand and willing to meet Hunt
ington yesterday morning they were all
feeling depressed and shocked over the
sudden death of the man whom they
all knew so well.
Houghton promises that there shall
be no delay Monday morning, however,
if Mr.. Huntington is in the city at that
time, and he claims to have reasonabl
assurance that he will be.
Citizens Want Owl Cars
"The citizens want those owl cars,
the city council wants those owl cars
and this special committee wants owl
cars. What can Mr.. Huntington do
against a combination of that kind %
said Houghton yesterday.
eff we are bound to have them, why
we will have them, and Huntin gton
knows well that it is better to grant
them gracefully than oppose the wish
of the people. Every improvement as

Apple juice gives this jelly a faint

this substance is usually obtained by
combina tion of glucose and cane
sugar. According to the city chemist
one can eat large quantity of this
stuff without material damage to
health, but, oh! what an insult to the
stomach.
Pure jellies that are all they are rep
resented to be, cost at retail 25 cents a
glass. The Japanese gelatine kind re-

Milk Preservatlves
Formaldehyde in milk is one of the
biggest frauds perpetrated on an un-
suspecting public and according to DR..
Carl Kurtz, a member Of the board of
health, one of the most dangerous and
damnable for it is the little babies that
suffer most from the dishonest milk
man,
The board of health has fought this
so strong that of late. there has been
very little complaint along this line.
See that bottle of milk?" quizzed
City Chemist Miller 1T has been
standing there in the sun for the last
week or more and 1t is still as sweet
as the day 1t was brought here"
The milk was sweet, but it was
stringy and fibrous like piece of tough
beef. 1t had long ago lost it's useful
ness and but for the large quantity Of
formallne 1T contained would have been
a solid curd.
The city chemist produced a jar of
formaldehyde.
Put your finger in that for min
ute" he said.
The finger wet with the formaline
soon turned a CHASTITY blue and for
hours had a dried up and stiff appear
ance.
ShrIveIs the Finger
Think of putting that stun in your
stomach and feeding It to little babies
who have not grown accustomed to

'brane lining the stomach % asked
the city chemist.
Until recently when a number of
butchers We're prosecuted by Mr.. Miller

widely adulterated food products on
the market.

Miss Helen Spencer, 1924 Cook Ave-,

1t seemed imperative that should still

Il am like new person and I feel

Peruna and it is pleasure to recon-

Catarrh of the liver is new phrase
to many people. Many will say, 81
never heard of catarrh of the liver"
but the very people who say this may
be afflicted with the disease.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-08-05

A catarrhal condition of the stomach
may spread to the duodenum and then
continue through the large bile ducts
into the liver.
This partly obstructs the bile ducts
and produces sluggishness of the liver.
Sometimes the ducts are so OBJ
structed as to produce Stoppage OF
the bile, in which case the bile is thick
ened and forms into concretions called
gall stones. Bilious collie is the result.
Most cases of bilious collie depend
upon catarrh of the liver. For this con-
dition purgatives are generally used.
These give temporary relief, but do not
cure.
The correct thing to do is to remove
the catarrh. Then the liver rights itself.
Any one troubled with sluggish liver
should give Peruna fair trial.
If, after taking one bottle, relief is
experienced. it should be followed by a
thorough course of Peruna until COM
plete relief is obtained.

Demurrers In four liquor cases were
overruled yesterday morning by Police
Justice Rose.
John Foley, Charles Kelley, Edward
Kroll and Paul Thomas, the defend
ants, were walters arrested July % In
a raid upon several cafes, including the
Imperial, Palace, Burbank, First Street
hotel and a saloon on San Pedro street
Counsel for defendants argued the
demurrers and asked for jury trials In
each case following the overruling OF
the demurrers.
The Kelley case was set for August
q, Kroll for August 30, Paul Thomas
for September and Foley for Septem-
ber 9.
Gustaf Mox, a waiter at the Palace
cafe, was found guilty of violating the
Sunday liquor selling ordinance on
Thursday, and on the following day
was fined $25 by Police Justice Rose.
Attorneys Robert Todd and G. w
Pendleton appealed the case to the su-
perior court.
Attack Meal Clause
1t is believed the lawyers will attack
the validity of that portion of section
81 which defines what a bona fide meal
shall be.
The ordinance states a bona fide meal
shall consist of such quantity and quail
ity of food as Is ordinarily served for
a meal in hotels and restaurants. Mere
ly sandwiches or lunches, crackers or
cheese shall not constitute q meal with
in the provisions of the ordinance
1t Is thought the counsel represent
ing the liquor interests will argue that
the ordinance cannot definitely sta te
what or what not shall constitute a
meal. as that would rest with the in
dividua1 guest.
City Prosecutor Beebe, on the other
hand, is certain that the ordinance is
valid and asserts the serving of minia-
ture sandwiches OF stale crackers with
each order of drinks is a palpable eva
sion of the Sunday law.
Police VIII Watch
Chief of Police Auble believes this
is the correct position to hold, and
says he will have officers in plain
clothes visit certain saloons and cafes
every Sunday to see that the law is
enforced.
In every case where a waiter Is de-
tected in serving drinks without a bona
fide meal the chief says arrests will
be made.
I'VE cannot we'll arre:t the proprie-
tors of these Places said the chief
Yesterday THAT would come under
the supervision of the police commits
sion.
"If the commissioners see fit they
can revoke the license of such places
where the law is violated, for it stands
to reason that the walters do not serve
liquor to Sunday guests without orders
from their superiors.
1.-THE commission may await the de-
cision of the superior court before max
ing any move in the Palace cafe case.
] do not believe the ordinance will be
overthrown by the higher, courts"
Sunday Law at Stake
The outcome of the pending cases will
be watched with interest by the citi-
zens at large, for 1t is believed the fate
of Sunday liquor selling rests in a large
degree upon the construction ofrthe
ordinance relative to what constitutes
bona fide meals. 1t is asserted that
thousands of thirsty men are served
with beer and whisky every Sunday.
The police say the walters in many
instances do not even ask the guests
if they will take any lunch and often
neglect to place the overworked sand
wich before the customers.

VISIT to the average packing
n house, however clean, would turn
most stomachs vegetarianward.
"A night spent in the average bakery,
however well it complied with the city's
sanitary laws, would cause the biggest
gourmet in the land to eschew pie.
But day spent with the city chemist
would send all of us who have con-
tracted the expensive habit of eating
in malignant form back to nature
with such a complete, whole Souled
hustle that the chiggers and other
ferocious tribes that nestle in natures
bosom would be startled into making
room for us.
The city of Los Angeles pays an ex-
cellent chemist, Irving II. Miller, $3.50 a
month to find out what new and in
gen.ous poisons the food adulterators
are trying to ram down the throats of
the consuming public. And Mr.. Miller
earns his money
Drives Out Devils
All day long he is perched in a little
laboratory in the third floor of the city
building over the health department
and there with retort and test tubes
and weird incantations he drives out
the little devils from the food we eat,
and when he has learned their names he
swears out a warrant against the food
adulterator, if he has the ghost of a
show for making a case and thereupor
and thereafter that particular food
product is pure and wholesome until
the manufacturer conceives the idea
that the city chemists eye is no longer
on him.
These continuous prosecutions have
had their effect and of late many of the
chemists analyses have shown that
foods that We're formerly to be eyed
with suspicion are at least within the
limits of the law.
There are many food authorizations
that the health department cannot
regulate by the law.
Unless a food product contains some
substance that is absolutely injurious
to health there is no remedy at law and
the food adulterator may perpetrate
all sorts Of frauds so long as the eff
fects of his frauds are harmless as far
as health is concerned.
That his labels guarantee the con-
tents OF his can or bottle to be abso-
lutely as represented does not consti-
tute a criminal offense according to
the very inadequate poor food laws on
the California statute books.
Because It's. Cheaper
A householder may pay out his good
money for pure fruit Juice and pure
cane sugar Jelly, according to the label,
and receive Japanese gelatine, apple
juice, artificial colorlng and other
havoring, but there is no remedy at
law unless the duped purchaser chooses
to put the manufacturer In jail for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
