After curing herself and many of her friends she was besieged by so many women needing the treatment that she decided to furnish 1t to those who might call for 1t. She started with only few dollars capital, and the remedy possessing true and won derful merit, producing marvellous cures when doctors and other remedies failed the demand grew so rapidly she was several times compelled to seek larger quarters. She now occupies one of the city's largest office build ings, which she owns. and almost one hundred clerks and stenographers are required to assist in this great busi- ness.

 In an interview here. President L. C. Grover of the Colt Patent Fire Arms Company of Hartford, declared that his concern had lost practically all it's mar ket in the Far East to the Japanese, who had stolen the Colt patents and were making all manner of American arms for both Government and private use. Mir. Grover added:
 "When the Colt Company found it's market in the East had disappeared 1t secured the services of an English army officer to Investigate. We found in Southern China a Japanese factory in full operation, turning out gatling guns, Colt automatios and other armament, great and small. The Chinese Govern ment apparently fostered the enter prise and the Calt Company got noth- ing out of 1t because the Japanese merely took the gun to pieces and copied the design without asking any bodys permission. ?"

HOW AUTHORS BOOM BOOKS

Not long ago writer of modern
flame" called on a Journalistic ac-
quaintance and proposed that he write
some bright bitter, epigrammatic para =
graphs attacking the authors latest
novel. why in the world should you
want me to do that?" inquired the
astonished Journalist. For business
reasons" was the calm reply. MY re-
views have been very favorable, but
the book doesn't seem to be going as
we'll as my last, and think some hot
shot would do it good
1t is no exaggeration to say that the
high road to literary fame is well-nigh
deserted. But the short cuts are so
crowded that the adventures bump
one another at every step. Rumor has
it that one aspirant for Immortality per-
Sonally visits every book stall in the
large cities and presents an autogra ph
copy to the chief salesmen before his
volume is marketed; another makes 1t
his business to procure testimonials
from public characters on every book
he offers; and few years ago fancy
dress ball was given in Washingt on
by an author whose guests were actual
ly requested to mpersonate the char
acters portrayed in their hostess latest
tome! Report does not say whether the
masks saved the wearers' faces, but
the laughter that this supreme effort
provoked was happily undisguised.-

POPULATION AND SCHOOLS

The actual enrolment Of school chill
dren for Los Angeles city and county
was made yesterday--not the school
census estimate, but the nose-by-nose
count of the pupils in their seats.
The figures are astounding.
The schools Of Los Angeles city yes-
terday seated 44.I4s children, while
those of the city md county combined
figured out SG,2i2.
This. Notwithstanding that hundreds
of city youngsters are still at the
beach. that the enrolment was made
on one of the hottest days of the
year; that many new schools are not
yet ready to receive pupils, and that
those who went east for vacation have
not yet returned.
II these conditions were all removed,
there is not the shadow OF a doubt
that Los Angeles city would have
$4,000 children in it's schools To-Day.
But taking the enrolment at its
present status, and using 1t as the
most conservative basis known upon
which to figure population, 1t can
readily be seen that Los Angeles is
now practically a city Of $50, 900 people
or more. The low multiple of 5k is
used in estimating this. Most places
figure on higher multiple, but Los
Angeles one task is to keep it's enumer-
alton conservative. AT the 51a rate.
the city's population is shown to be
242,7S6 souls, There is little reason to
believe that $4,000 would really be be-
low the mark.
On the same basis, with the same
multiple the population Of the county
Is 419, ,166.
The last school census, taken in
June, showed that Los Angeles people,
figured out In the same way, numbered
23SO00 An Increase of nearly 5000 in
two and a half months gives good
idea of how this city is growing.
In this respect San Franciscos esti-
mates are worthy of note, The San
Francisco school census in round MUM
900 claimed before the quake. The
California Promotion committee, the Of
fetal San Francisco boosting agency,
figures out a population, on the $4,000
basis, of 100000. Just what multiple
the advertising agency uses, it is
rather hard to guess. On the 101s theory
evidently the one used there-the
population of Los Angeles now num-

SALooNLICENSE AND SCHOOLS

The standard argument that the bur-

Oh the shoulders of the consumer, is
not likely to be advanced against the

dealer may shift his burden to the
stomach, but not to the shoulders Of the
consumer The dealer may strive to
get even by putting a larger percent

During the past two years The Her

constructing new school buildings, and
now DR.. E. C. Moore, city superinten-
dent, has reached the same conclusion.
Los Angeles cannot afford to go before
the taxpayers every year appealing for
an issue or bonds to erect new school
buildings, but the city is growing SO
rapidly that new buildings are annually
required, and the only way out of the
situation is through sinking lund

after watching them for while. what
are those wasps doing?"

mother, going into lengthy explana-
tion of how the work was done.
Little Willie thoughfully communed
with himself as he continued to watch
the wasps, and finally, becoming pos.
sessed of a happy idea, looked up and
said:
Say mamma. 1 wish our home was

. ECHO OF A JOLT

1t Is not a present but an ulterior
purpose that actuates w, r. Hearst
in projecting himself into the limelight
as a candidate for governor of New
York. Through his Los Angeles organ
he says with three tickets in the
field, even if the Independence league
should not win, it would be certain to
run second. and that would mean that
the third party, which would be either
the Republican or the Democratic
would be swept out of all power; the
appointment of election officials would
be lost to the third party"
In the above extract Hearst practi-
caly admits that he does not expect
his guerrilla band, bearing the preten-
tious name of independence league, to
win in the New York election. Nor
has he the faintest idea that his gang
out either the Democrats or the Re-
publicans in the appointment of cleo
tion officials. But what he does hope
for is to draw enough Democratic votes
to insure the election of the Republi-
can state ticket. If he can succeed in
that effort he thinks he will be in a
position to claim that the only hope
of success for the New York Demo-
Gratis, in the campaign of 1908, will be
in supporting Willie Also-ran-dolph
Hearst for the presidency.
1t is not strange, of course, that
Hearst's vindictiveness toward the
Democratic party was greatly intensi-
fled by the awful jolt when he was
figuratively kicked down and out at
the state Democratic convention. A
native son of California, born in San
Francisco, operating in the state two
examples of the yellowest journalism,
until recent period proclaiming him
| self a Democrat, yet he was branded
as political traitor in convention
comprising a large percentage of dele
gates from his native city.
No wonder that Hearst mentally eX-
claimed, ''Et tu, Frisco" and then
sought relief in deeper plotting to in
jure the Democratic party.

REPUBLICAN, BELL MEN

IF any Republican is deluding him
self with the thought that his party is
going to have walkover. with Bell as
the leading opponent, he may as we'll
wake up to the fact that he is badly
mistaken"
That is an extract from the leading
editorial in one of the staunchest and
ablest Republican newspapers in South
ern California-the RedlandS Daily Re-
view. Just preceding the above extract
the editor of the Review says: The
writer has known Theodore A. Bell of
all that time has never known him to
do a dishonorable or mean thing"
From the same good Republican
authority we learn that Bell is cam
paigner who wins. He has been elected
to office four out of five times when
appearing as a candidate, and each
time in the face of a strong Republican
majority. He has always had the sup
port of strong Republican papers in the
north in his candidacy, owing to his
81 y
of accomplishing things"
This frank recognition of the merits
of the Democratic candidate for gov
ernOr from a pronounced Republican
source is significant and suggestive. 1t
agrees with the general expression of
opinion by -partisans and by many
straight-laced Republicans as well. The
character, the ability the maniness of
Theodore A. Bell, and especially his
bold defiance of Southern Pacific des-
potism and his stinging contempt for
w. r.. Hearst, commend him to ntelli-
gent and sane voters of all classes.
e 1t was Southern California that pulled
Pardee through in the contest of 1902
the full strength of the Republican,
party a plurality in the state of 1850
votes was secured. A change of 776
such votes to the Democratic side
would have caused Pardee's defeat.
Prior to the mandate from San Fran
cisco calling pom the henchmen of
Boss Herrin to support Gillett for the
Republican nomination for governor,
Pardee was the favorite in the Southern
California counties excepting Los An
geles. Only by the most vigorous
swishing of the party lash were dele
gates for Gillett secured, in many in
stances. But there is soreness where
the lash was felt, and the effect thereof
will be in evidence on election day.
1t would not be difficult to find. at
this time, enough disgruntled Pardee
men in Southern California, with
''knives up their sleeves" for Gillett, to
assure the election of Bell. 1t is with
full knowledge of this Republican,
undercurrent that the Redlands editor
concludes his article with this ominous
sentence; I'm spite of the very large
Republican majority in California it
behooves every man who supports that
party to get busy if he does not want tc

willing TO stand an increase Of % Per

The city needs more money for sew

since the non-partisan movement is sup

candidates, and there can be no COM

WINGED, that an evolution is at hand,
yet an evolution is not to be expected.
Moreover dress changes come very
gradually and only the refined and
tasteful is essayed by men of discern
ment and cultivated aesthetic sense.
Then, too, the reign of the black and
white scheme without frills or furbe-
lows has been undisturbed through so
many years that even the suggestion
of a change would be accepted by the
multitude as a welcome and long
awaited opportunity to array itself in
dazzling tinsel when on parade For
these reasons I conclude that only
moderate innovations are in prospect
for the near future Indeed. the grow
ing use of figured waistcoats and of
pique and small self-figured patterns
in shirts for formal wear cannot be
overlooked or minimized in the light of
a getting away from the extreme sim
