BARS OUT DAIRY COMPANY
Act of City Council Strikes Blow at
Belle Vernon Farms
Concern

BY a legislative act the council has
prevented effectually the plans of the
Belle Vernon Farms company to estab-
liSh large milk depot in the block
bounded by Fifteenth, Sixteenth and
San Pedro streets and Vernon avenue.
An ordinance has been passed which
prevents the operation of milk depot
in the block.
Property owners of the locality have
attempted for more than year to have
a measure of this character enacted
The first proposal was to prohibit the
operation Of a milk depot within 300
feet of any residence, church or school.
This proposed ordinance was defeated
by Health officer DR.. L. M. Powers,
who appeared in the council chamber
and made the assertion that this would
drive the milk dealers out of the city,
where it would be much more difficult
for the city authorities to keep a close
supervision over them.
The ordinance, a drastic one for the
Belle Vernon company, was placed in
it's passage Monday. 1t is possible that
the company may fight the measure in
the courts as illegal, because it is
alleged that it is personal instead of
general in its effect.

NO BED CLOTHES
IS W|FE'S PLANT
WANTS HUSBAND TO PROVIDE
MORE COMFORTS
Says She Is Compelled to Sleep In the
Same Room With the Hired
Man and Is Not Fed
Well

After less than a year Of married
life Mrs. Agnes Tooker Reid yesterday
filed petition for maintenance in the
superior court against her husband,
William Reid, and it is understood that
the action of the unhappy wife is
simply the forerunner of 4. divorce suit.
According to the allegations of Mrs.
Reid her husband is well off, owning
county and city property amounting to
$40, 200.
Among his possessions is an apple
ranch near Los Angeles, and to that
ranch the bride went on her honey
moon. There, according to the brides
allegations, her husband compelled her
to sleep in his shack, a miserable leaky
building with but single room where
husband and hired man took up their
abode. She further alleges that she
was improperly fed, Improperly clothed
and had not enough bed clothes at
night to keep her warm.
She states that she is a woman of
culture and refinement and has done
all she can toward making herself a
loving and dutiful wife, but that she
can no longer stand the shack and its
filth. She asks the court in her petition
to enjoin her husband from selling his
property until she can be provided for,
and further asks an ample allowance
for her support.

$4,000 STUDENTS IN SCHOOL
Report of superintendent Shows Big
Attendance at End of Third
Week g.

At the meeting of the board of educa-
tion Monday night Superintendent Moore
reported that at the end of the third
week of school the enrolment was 32,093
There were 1911 students enrolled at the
high school and 1909 at the Polytechnic.
He made the following report on school
sites.
Responding to your request for infor-
nation concerning the immediate needs
Of the department. in the way of new
sites and buildings, I beg to report as
follows:
A site for primary school is needed
| at Edendale. This growing community is
one mile distant from the Logan street
school. There are no sidewalks con-
| meeting 1t with the school, and to get
there little children must walk along a
| street which is used as a main line for
a rapid suburban street car service.
| A site should be purchased and a school
house built in the vicinity Of Jefferson
street and Western avenue. This locality
is growing very rapidly and the nearby
schools are already full to. capacity,
Additional land is needed for a school
yard at the Gates street school The
yard was originally big enough, but an
additional building has been placed on it,
and as all its rooms are full, the yard
is no longer large enough for the 5O7
children in attendance there.
The Eagle Rock school house should be
enlarged 1t is full to capacity now,
and the district is growing fast.
] An additional building, not less than
eight rooms in size. should be built for
the Vernon avenue school,

Turn Your Face

Many q Man Has Failed Because His
Face Was Picture of Calamity.

1t takes sunshine to produce rose, a
perfect rose. And so man, to be sue
cessful, must have sunshine inside The
life which has 1t not, which has no
health and no happiness, is sour, surly,
pessimiStic, and failure. The world
already has too many vinegar faces
that breathe i'll will and strife. The
world wants JOY comfort, sunshine,
and will cling to the man who has it,
who radiates gladness and triumph
wherever he is and under all circum-
stances.
Some people have a genius for seek
ing out the disagreeable, the crooked,
the bad and the ugly. These are the
destroyers; they travel in schools, they
herd together, for they love their kind,
and the cheerful part of the world will
have nothing to do with them.
And why is it that so many peddle

If they do their lives will be ruined?
Some people cannot help it,. for pes
Enthusiastically comes from bodily dis
orders, and this cannot always be pre-
vented. The stomach, for instance, is
the most common cause of discomfort,
sour face, recklessneSS, disgust and
lack of ambition. A bad stomach
there is the secret of many a failure.
Anyone can have good stomach, a
strong stomach, a stomach that can
take care of anything and everything
that is put into 1t, no matter whether
1t is a very bad stomach now or not.
Then why not have it?,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this
very thing. One ingredient of these
little tablets digests 5000 grains of
food, and no matter how bad is your
dyspepsia or Indigestion, these tablets
will digest everything in your stomach,
thoroughly and completely, and better
and quicker than healthy stomach
can do the same thing. Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will cure quickly loss
Of appetite, brash, irritation burning
sensations, nausea, heartburn, eructa-
tions, loss of vim and spirit, bad mem
ory, and dyspepsia and indigestion In
their very worst forms.
No other little tablets in the world
can do so much. You should carry
Stuart's DYSPEPSIA Tablets around
with you wherever you go and take
them after meals Then only will you
realize what II is to enjoy meal, and
what perfect digestion means. Your
whole body and your mind will feel
