CHILDREN ARE
FED ON GARBAGE
Continued from page one.

lily. A broken vase in gaudy colors or
a bright bit of ribbon will set their
childish hearts in a flutter of delight.
Not all the children who depend on
the rubbish caps for their playthings
are negroes or Mexicans or half
breeds. Nearly a dozen white children,
whose pinched little faces showed
plainly of the terrible poverty that was
their lot were yesterday half buried
in piles of filth and rubbish and their
merry whoops told that they were hav
ing the time of their lives.
But not all who eat the city's garbage
are negroes and cholos. Much of it finds
its way to prosperous homes in the
guise of breakfast bacon and sugar
cured hams. Every day hog raisers in
the neighborhood visit the garbage
dump and cart away great quantities
of the refuse to feed to their hogs.
1t is these same swill-fed hogs that
cause most of the troubles arising from
meat Their flesh is soft and they are
an easy prey for hog cholera and other
diseases. But according to the men,
bers of the board of health and others
who have testified before the meat in
vestigating committee recently, the
death of a hog by cholera or any other
means makes little difference to the
raiser. He either sells 1t to some
peddler, who dresses the meat and in
turn sells it to restaurants and butcher
shops or kills the hog himself and sells
it surreptitiously. A food animal of
this kind will not be received for
slaughter or dressing in any of the
packing houses where government in
spectors are stationed, nor by the
city meat inspectors, but this fact does
not prevent it from reaching the tables
of Los Angeles residents.
Some of the meat that has been found
unfit for food by the city meat inspec-
tors and condemned has been traced
back to the city's garbage dump. On
the same ground where the dump is
located negro family has wretched
hovel. Here they raise pigs and ducks.
Two of the hogs are so fat they can
scarcely stand up and they have
reached their corpulency solely through
the garbage dump.
These pigs will be slaughtered at
no distant day and converted into ham,
bacon and spare ribs.

MIeHTSHlRT HIS PARTY GARB
Wife Asks for Divorce From Man
Whose Costume Did Not
Suit Her

ST. LOUIS, June 23.-'Twas what
happened the night before Christmas
which impelled Mrs. Stella V. Wilson,
wife of John Il, Wilson, grand presi-
dent of the Brotherhood OF Maintenance

In Judge Douglas court Wednesday
Mrs. Wilson told how her husband ap-
peared at a Christmas eve party at
their home, clad only in his nightshirt,
and sat in the parlor all evening
dressed that way.
There was a mixed crowd OF young
women and young men there. Asked
how long the nightshirt was, Mrs. VIII

'Well II hit him about the knees
when he sat down." She said he wore
no other garment.

UNITED CIGAR STORES
DO RECORD BUSINESS
Smokers Give the "Shield Sign"
Places Big Patronage

After one week of business life in
Los Angeles the Unittd Cigar Stores
company feels assured that the efforts
to give the discriminating smoker the
best value for his money are being ap-
preciated.
The encouragement given the COM
pany did not come in the shape of a
handshake and good wishes, but
through a record d-breaking business.
Many times in the past the company
has made record-breaking sales, but it
remained for the City of Angels to pay
the highest tribute to this great or
ganization.
Extending from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast today there are more than
400 stores conducted by the United Ci-
gar Stores company. Los Angeles is
the fourth city on the Pacific coast to
be given United Stores. Oakland
was the first city to be given a store,
then came San Francisco, quickly fol-
lowed by Portland, and now Los An
geles has welcomed the enterprise with
open pocketbooks. The management
has been highly pleased with Los An
geles.
There is a reason for the success of
the United Cigar Stores company, and
= the principal one of the many advanced
is the quality of the goods on sale and
the manner in which they are manu-
factured No article produced by the
United Cigar Stores company ever sees
the inside of a sweatshop and all high
grade cigars are made by union men
under the title of the Havana cigar
makers union.
In al factories OF the United Cigar
Stores company sanitary conditions are
given first consideration, a striking
contrast to the surroundings in the fac
5 tories OF many of the other brands of
cigars that are on the market.
There is probably no article in COM
mon use that is manufactured that the
public knows so little about as the
manufacture of cigars and tobaccos.
There Is an added sense of satisfaction
In smoking a cigar that one knows
comes fror.l a cleanly workroom and
from the hands of cleanly and skilled
workmen.
The American public consumes $780,
100000 worth of tobacco every year. 1t
is che aim of the United Cigar Stores
company to get as much of that amount
as possible and at the same time give
the smoker full value for every cent
paid out by him.
The company has at the present time
several corners in Los Angeles under
lease and new stores will be installed
at the earliest opportunities.

GODSEND"
This Is the Senator's Opinion of the
Measure In Its Present Form.
House Passes Pure Food
5y Associated press.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The three
hours of today's open session of the
senate were divided between the meat
inspection provision of the agricul-

after speeches by Lenators Bailey and
Gallinger that motion was adopted.
Mr.. Bailey declared the house in
spection provision unconstitutional,
Mr.. Warren defended the interest of
the stock growers and Mr.. Gallinger
urged the necessity for close inspec-
tion at the expense of the packers.
The Long resolution was amended.
Senator Foraker again t~ok oppor-
tunity to express his disapproval of the

SO writes Mrs. Binkert of New Mexico.
DR.. Hartman, in the past two years.
has received numberless letters with
similar expressions Of gratitude.
No physician in the world has a
larger number Of grateful patients scat

Dr. Hartman.
Not day passeg that he does not
receive some token Of appreciation from
the patients he has cured of some
chronic malady.
The remedy which has brought Or.
Hartman into such fame Is Pernna.
People have generally bought It at
the recommendation Of some friend or
neighbor.
Usually they begin taking It without
lany other advice than the directions
that are on the bottle.
From this host Of patients DIR. Hart
man rarely receives any letter. But
small per cent Of Those who buy Peruna
find It necessary to write DR.. Hartman
concerning the matter.
These inquirers receive a prompt re-
ply for which no charge is made. This
generally results in a cure.
The multitude of heartfelt, sincere
testimonials which pour In upon DR..
Hartman every year is gratifying
result of such d stupendous character
as few physicians in the world can
boast.

Witness told of meeting Jaxon on the
street the day after the murder. AS
they were chatting a white boy, a
stranger to them. asked II the murdered
man were not his brother-in-law.
"JaXon answered him mo- without
any nervousness" said the minister,
"and then as the boy moved on I
volunteered the suggestion that some
white man had done the killing. 1t
was jealousy of a white man that
caused that murder. 1 said so to Jaxon
then and I have said 1t since.
This fellow Baker," he continued,
"is responsible for all these rumors
connecting Jaxon with it. He said
Jaxon did not reach our meeting till
$50.

to anything. 1 did say to him, Brother
Jaxon, what is the use of trying to
change facts? We all know you did
not kill Logan"

wrangled over the form of questions,
each seeking to draw from Witness
Hunter the admission that rumors had
freely been circulated concerning Lo-
gan and Mrs. Jaxon.

Foundation for AIlbI

The defense here laid a foundation
for an alibi by getting Hunter to ad-
init that Jaxon told him he was outside
of the shop that night for some time
listening to the discussions. He did
not enter because Lattimer, a director
whom he had brought into the as
ISOLATION, had become an obstructionist
and he did not want to be in the posi-
ton of taking sides, so he (Jaxon) re-
NAMED outside while much of the de-
bate was going on. Jaxon in this way
sought to explain that he was not
near the Raymond links about the
time of the tragedy.
Asked what was said when Jaxon
entered the room and explained why
he was late he replied:
Some one made a jocular remark
asking If he (Jaxon) had brought d
check from the old man whose suit
he fitted on, as cash was needed IN
the treasury"

Prince Helped Fill Tub
Secretary Will Prince of the San
Gabriel Association, followed the first
witness. He told circumstances that
were relied on by the defense to dis
prove the idea that Jaxon soaked his
own bloody clothes.
Il helped Mr.. Jaxon fill a tub of
water after the meeting adjourned that
night" said Secretary Prince. His
hand slipped on the handle IN lifting it
down and much of 1t spilled on the
floor. 1 saw that there were clothes
in it, but saw no blood on them or on
his hands.
"Jaxon swept up the water and 1
helped refill the tub"
prince admitted that Jaxon said to
him that 'if the worst came" he was
to arrange that a note on which both
were signers was to be taken up.
on cross examination Attorney Hahn
cried to show that Jaxon had used the
term worst" because his client was
about to undergo an operation for ap-
pendicjtis and that 1t grew out of fear
of consequences because of a homicide.
