JOHN w. GATES PARTY
 HAS A VERY BUSY DAY

A board meeting was held in the car. At the ore mines che directors tramped through the mud and spent some time in inspecting mining operations. It was a fatiguing day but MT. Gates and his as soeiates attended another meeting of the Tennessee board held at the Hotel Hill- man last night.
 MT Gates said that still another meet ing of the Tennessee directors would be held this morning. It is well known that the syndicate now in control of the Tennessee Republic companies, will de- velop their properties on a large scale, but MT. Gates, who is recognized as the leader of the new interests, said last night just after the board meeting that he was not yet ready to make a state ment regarding projected plans. for the simple reason that none of the plans had been perfected. It may be. he said, that the directors will not be ready to an- nounce just what will be done until after the annual meeting of the Tennessee company in May.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfect- ant and purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more YOU take of 1t the better; it is not a drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking. drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and improves inc complexion it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe eathartic.
 IL absorbs the injurious gases which collect In the stomach and bowels: 1t dIsinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money, is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: they arc composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal. and other hsrmless antIseptics in tablet form or rather in the form of large pleasant tasting lozenges. the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sWeeter Dreatn anu purer bloou, ana the beauty of 1t Is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal says: 'I advise Stu arts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas In stomach and bowels and to clear the complexion, and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also be- lieve the liver Is greatly benefited by the daily use of them: they cost but twenty-five cents box at drug stores. and although in some sense a patent preparation yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Loz- enges than in any of the ordinary char coal tablets"

WITH TWO LOCKS
 ADOOR IS OPENED
BANNER GROCERY COMPANY FINDS A STRANGE LOCK ON ITS DOOR AND CALLS POLICE TO INVESTIGATE.

Wednesday night Policeman Norrell found inc store door of the Banner Gro cery company at 415 North Twentieth street. unlocked and went to the war den's office and got big jail loek ana returned and locked it. He gave the Key to the policeman on the next watch and told him to give it to the proprietor yes terday morning so he could enter the store.
 Without seeing the policeman who had the key a clerk came down to open up and found the strange lock on the door. Not having any idea how the Jall JOCK got on the door or where to get key to it, he broke it and entered His sup nosition was that the store had been burglarized and locked up but when he found that nothing had been disturbed the matter became a greater mystery than ever
 After the entire store force arrived and failed to fathom the mystery Sergeant Mullens at police headquarters was tele- nhoned to for assistance. Until the ap- nearanee of the strange lock was ex- plained the grocery people were greatly plzzled and considerably excited.
 Policeman Norren said last night that the funny part of the story was that the proprietor of the store recently eonclud- ed that the lock on his door was not safe and put on an additional one' and then went off and left them both un- locked.

tention. He says he will give the greatest protection possible to the sections most exposed to danger.
 There are some features of the change that. as the men see it now makes it doubtful whether or not It will be of any great advantage to them Of course they a-o glad of prospect of being relieved of the fatiguing task of being on their feet for twelve hours at a time, but they say that if they have to spend the time given them by the change hanging around the courts to prosecute cases 1t will really be of very little substantial benefit. For instance. if a man gets off duty at o'clock in the morning and has to stay in court to appear as witness he had just about as soon be on patrol duty.
 1t may be found necessary to request Judge Feagin to accommodate his court hours to the convenience of the police men who are sought to be favored by the change from twelve to eight hour watches.

doctor or a chauffeur?
The question is one Rosemary Glosz
asked herself when she first came to
Los Angeles, and the answer is a big
auto which draws up to the stage en-
trance Of the Mason every afternoon
and again every night.
The fair prma donna of the Harry
James burlesque company has deVel-
oped into real auto girl and the germs
of the disease, speed mania. which the
police and the health departments have
failed to exterminate, are fast taking
root i'm her, Indeed If 1t We're not for
the conservative mind of the chauffeur
1t is more than probable the charm
ing Rosemary might have to face a
grave charge In the police courts some
morning.
When she has finished rehearsal
every day-even the prima donna is
not excused from these trying ses-
sions behind the scenes-she dons a
long coat, hides her curly hair and
pretty face under a big veil and goes
speeding off into the country.

HOnOrS for Bernhard

A LITTLE bird speaking French has
n whispered to Nine. Sarah Bern
hardt that the supreme official
recognition of her own beloved France
is to be hers at last and that President
Fallieres will decorate her at the next
distribution of honors with the grand
cross of the Legion of Honor.
For years has Bernhardt sighed for
the decoration that went to Monet
Sully and to Bartet, those cold clas-
sicists, and passed by her. Even as
Zola and the master minds of literary
France were debarred from the acad-
emy, so has Bernhardt been kept by
jealousy from the Legion of Honor
But now Loubet is gone and Fall
Heres, enamored of Sarahs art, rules
at the Elysee palace. He has been her
friend and supporter for thirty years,
and now, 1t is said, he is to make Bern
hardt happy with a happiness that will
be to the joy of all previous successes
as the electric arc is to the kerosene
lamp-if she gets it.
