WOULD ANNUL ELECTION
Glendale Man Sues Verdugo Pipe
and Reservoir Company-Charges
IlleuaI Action

M. A. King of Glendale yesterday
brought suit against the Verdugo
Pipe & Reservoir company to have
an election recently held, Illegally, so
he states, set aside.
Mr.. King relates a series of misfor-
tunes. Equipped with proxies he at
tended, or attempted to attend, meet
ing of the corporation, but being, for
some reason which he fails to state,
not personally acceptable to those in
voting power, he was unceremonious-
ly ushered from the meeting.
In his petition he states that he was
lawful holder of certain proxies, ad-
mitting, however, that other proxies,
executed by the same persons, were in
the hands of the enemy and declares
that without the stock represented by
him there was not a sufficient amount
of stock represented to make the meet
ing legal.
Notwithstanding this fact, however,
the meeting was held and various mat
ters which he sets forth at some length
were taken up. Officers were elected,
a vote concerning a disbursement of
the company's funds was held and an
expenditure amounting to 5000 agreed
upon. This fact itself was painful to
Mr.. King and those he represents but
when the added fact became known
to him that the corporation had, he
charges, exceeded the amount ap-
proved and disbursed $4,000 of the COM
pany's funds, he filed suit to have the
election set aside.

that mayhap lie beyond the surgeons
knife, she only said, be it done unto
me according to thy will She went like
martyr. What she suffered no one
knows. Her work is done. God has
judged it so and he has called her. She
died as she lived and unto the end she
served the master. Sadness to us who
have lost her-happiness to her who has
won the crown.
I'VE are all better for her having
lived among us. When asked If she
had a last request to make she said:
Her Last Request
"fWhat ] have done always wish to
have done-let the Good Shepherd home
never refuse girl
"As we gather today, bishop, priests,
people and children, oh, let us feel that
the good mother is at rest and blessed
in God. 1t hurts us to part but our
love for her would bid us say it is bet
ter. He has given and he has taken
away The Good Shepherd has taken
his daughter home.
Martyr as she is of obedience, her
life may be the life blood of this in
stitution. Her life may be to us an
inspiration for better living for God
and for the betterment of our fellow
men,"
Following the eulogy the bishop gave
absolution and the sisters of the con-
vent silently gathered around the bier
of their beloved prioress and took last
farewell. The black veil was placed
over her face and the bride of the
Good Shepherd was carried to her last
resting place.

WOMAN WHO TOOK
POISON MAY RECOVER
MRS. ALFRETTA BAUM HAS 4
CHANCE TO LIVE
Daughter of Despondent Victim of
Suicidal Impulse Calls on Mother
at the Deaconess spitaI-Now
Wants to Live

Mrs. Alfretta Baum, known on the
stage at Alfredo Adair, who attempted
to commit suicide by drinking carbolic
acid in the Vile de Paris Monday af-
ternoon at o'clock, was taken to the
Deaconess hospital yesterday afternoon
and her condition, according to the
house physician of that institution, is
much improved.
The woman's mouth and throat were
terribly burned by the acid and the
lining of both was almost entirely eaten
away. 1t will be necessary for her to
be given liquid food through a tube,
the greatest danger now being that she
will be so weakened by the shock that
she cannot overcome the effect of the
poison.
Her daughter, Leona Baum, who with
her uncle, Eph Denton, is doing an
acrobatic act this week at the Chutes
theater, went yesterday afternoon to
see her mother The visit of the girl
seemed to encourage Mrs. Baum and
from her statements it would appear
that she now feels as though she
wanted to recover.
Still NegIects Woman
Jim Baum, the woman's husband, is
in Los Angeles and has been seen by
days. He applied for work yesterday at
one of the small theaters. Although
he must have seen that his wife is ill.,
he has not been to see her since he
deserted her a week ago at San
Bernardino.
1t was learned yesterday that the
clipping which was found in the wo-
mans purse and which was to the ef-
feet that the ideal husband is not lazy
and that he supports his wife as best
he can, was cut out of paper by Mrs
Baum to show her husband. Possibly
she thought that he would take the
lesson to heart, as he was not in the
habit of contributing anything to her
support.
Before Mrs Baum had time to show
the article to her husband, he is said
to have left San Bernardino and to
have come to Los Angeles.

RIGHT NOURlSHMENT.

We think of nourishment
as food-meats, soups, vege.
tables, etc., but that's only half.
It's not the food alone. that
counts but the good that we
get from food that furnishes
nourishment. A pound Of
steak is of less value to a
weak stomach than a crust Of
bread is to a strong digestion.
But weak stomachs can be
made strong. Begin by eat
ing less; have regular hours
for meals; avoid fancy things
and about a half hour after
eating take a tablespoonful Of
SCOTS Emulsion. It's a fact
Of medical history that people
have lived on not much else
but SCOTS Emulsion for a
long time-not only lived but
gained flesh and recovered
their strength and health.
From the pure Norwegian
cod liver oil to the last drop
Of glycerine, SCOTS Emulsion
contains just the strength
giving and health-building
elements needed for low vital
ity, weak digestion and poorly
nourished bodies.

Hand Nominated for Third Time

The Cape May County Republican
convention was held at Ocean City
last Saturday and ex-senator Robert
E. Hand was nominated for Senator,
receiving 143 votes to 14f votes for
Senator Lewis M. Cresse. Councilman
John Bright, as secretary of the last
convention, called the meeting to order.
A. Carlton Hildreth was chosen chair
man over DR.. John S. Douglass by the
half vote. Former County Superinten-
dent Aaron w. Hand was elected
secretary. Lawyer Andrew G. Boswell,
delegate from Ocean City, made a
protest against the admission of the
Holly Beach delegates, claiming illegal
registration at the primary election,
but the chairman ruled him out of
order and refused to allow the conven-
ton to act ON the protest. Orville
Stille, young resident of Tuchahoe,
was nominated for the Assembly, the
Cresse candidate being Freeholder
Chas. P. Vanaman, of Dias Creek who
was named by J. Albert Harris. VIM.
L. Bate, lower township delegate,
placed Hand in nomination, and Cresse
was named by DR.. Griscom, of Ocean
City, in an eloquent speech. DIR. n.
A. Cohen, of Wildwood, was nomina-
ted for Coroner without opposition.
Ex-senator Hand was escorted to the
platform and accepted the nomination
in neat speech. Senator Cresse APP
peared before the convention and
gracefully submitted to the inevitable
and declared that he would not run
as an independent candidate. The
convention was largely attended and
brass band and large company of
followers accompanied theHand adher-
ents, forming parade as soon as they
entered Ocean City.
The vote in the convention was as

THE CAM Ell.
He Has IA Dangerous Temper, and
His Bite Is Vicious.

He Has IA Dangerous Temper, and
His Bite lis Vicious.
The camel is a dangerous animal to
ride-a much more dangerous animal
than the horse-for the reason that,
with his serpentine neck he can reach
round when annoyed and bite his rider.
Camels are not at all the patient,
quiet, kindly creatures they are paint
ed. They have nasty tempers. A cara
van crossing the desert is always noisy.
The loud and angry snarls of the cam
els make the waste places resound.
A camers bite Is serious matter.
The strong teeth lock in the wound and
a circular motion is given to the jaw,
around and then back, before the teeth
are withdrawn again. The wound is
a horrible one. There are few camel
drivers without camel scars.
DR.. Nachtigal. the celebrated African
explorer once said to youth who ex-
pressed a sentimental desire to cross
the Sahara on camel back:
young man, I'll tell you how you
can get a partial Idea of what riding
camel in an African desert Is like.
Take an office stool, screw 1t up as
high as possible and put it along with
a savage dog into wagon without any
springs. Then seat yourself on the
stool and have it driven over uneven
and rocky ground during the hottest
parts of July and August, being care
full not to eat or drink more than once
every two days and letting the dog bite
you every four hours. This will give
you faint idea of the exquisite poetry
of camel riding in the Sahara."-St.

The Persians still believe that human
tears are a remedy for certain chronic
diseases. At every funeral the bottling
of mOurners' tears is one of the chief
features Of the ceremonies. Each of
the mOurners is presented with
sponge with which to mop off his face
and eyes. and after the burial they
are presented to the priest who
squeezes the tears into bottles, which
he keeps. This custom is one of the
oldest known in the east and has prob
ably been practiced by the Persians
for thousands Of years. Mention is
made Of it in the Old Testament.

TOM THUMB SACHETS.
Way to Use Up Your Little Odds
and Ends of Ribbon.

why 10 use OD ouUS
and Ends of Ribbon.
A use has been found for the little
odds and ends of ribbon useless here
tofore, yet too pretty to throw away.
They are now used for Tom Thumb
sachets, which are just the thing for
birthday tokens, luncheon favors and
for pinning into ones gown to impart
4 delicate fragrance. The tiny pocket
which contains the sachet powder.
about an inch square, is sewed to the
ribbon, the ends of which are brought
forward to cover the bag and are
shaped to form dainty flower. or
course upon the morsel of ribbon in
hand depends the kind of flower to be
made. Thus pale pink makes charm
ing little wild rose, purple a pansy,
yellow buttercup, white a dogwood
and so on. The shaping of the petals
is most important as upon this as
well as the coloring depends much of
the naturalness of the flower. The
center Of the blossom Is added by
means of a few stitches In floss of the
appropriate color, yellow being used
for the wild rose, and so forth. When
employed as luncheon fayors the little
sachets are furnished with temporary
stems of wire so as to hang upon the
edge of the water tumblers.
