Those who lead sedentary life find the circulation feeblest about the nose. lips and temples, and those parts of the face should be energetically knead- ed several times a day. When the pores become distended the fine. invis- ible dust in the air enters and clogs and blackens them. Mere ordinary face washing, even when warm water and soap are used, is not sufficient to remove the dirt in the pores. but the vigorous acid of the lemon will cleanse and carry on all such unsightly blem- ishes.

FINDS DIAMOND FORMATION
South African Mining Engineer Says
Gems Exist in Riverside and
San Diego Counties

J. Arthur Harding. an experienced
mining engineer of South Africa. has
recently travelled through San Diego
and Riverside counties, and says that
in these counties he finds formation
similar to that found in certain sec
tions of the diamond fields OF South
Africa. In speaking of his visit he SAID
yesterday
"The latter part of September ] made
an extended trip throughout the So
called gem belt OF San Diego and Riv-
erside counties. There is unmtstak-
able surface evidence that diamonds
might be found in the range OF noun
tains lying between Oak Grove valley
on the south and the Cahuilla Indian
reservation on the north.

the boundary line of San Diego and

WARMER WEATHER PROMISED
East Is lcebound While Los Angeles
Enjoys Summer Sunshine and
Flowers

II is a peculiar coincidence that Los
Angeles weather is always the contrary
OF the eastern brand. When the weather
man back home" was forcing the
thermometer up to the boiling point,
Local Forecaster Wollaber kept the lid
down and permitted the little silvery
stream to rise just little. Now, while
the eastern record breaker is forcing
the shiny column down around the
freezing point, the Los Angeles mer-
curry controller lets its up three spaces
10 prove that California weather is the
best ever.
Eastern reports show temperature
as low as 80 degrees; Los Angeles reg
listers % degrees. For today another
rise Of two or three degrees is promised,
but look at the record of the eastern
cities will ircline one to the opinion
that even with the additional rise, Los
Angeles is more comfortable than the
fur-clad ice-bedecked regions on the
other side of the Rockies

shaved for the children, working day
and night for their support.
AS for the father, he testified that he
was. a mechanical engineer by trade,
having graduated from an eastern
college. that he had spent much of his
time patenting Inventions and had
practically given his life to the perfect
ing of certain devices whereby he
hopes to solve the question of aerial
navigation.
Works on Airship
According to the statements, of the
humane Officers, the husband spent
most of his time sitting at home while
his wife did all the work. HUFF denied
that statement. announcing that he
was experimenting with swings for
the purpose of studying certain effects
of air currents. He claimed to have in
vented a magnetic saw, and at the
suggestion of Judge Wilbur drew a
diagram of his invention and handed
it to the court.
Besides his other accomplishments
Judge Wilbur is well versed in me-
chanical engineering and electricity,
and when he began to question Huff
in detail about his inventions and ex-
periments the mans answers became
rambling and disconnected. 1t was tes-
titled that Huff often indulged in spells
of fury during which he beat his wife
and children numerically, and that
on one occasion the woman had con-
suited an attorney with the idea of Sc
curing divorce. ~..-l
Huff stated that his wife had at one
time been in the insane asylum from
disease. but other witnesses testified
that Mrs. Huff had been mentally un-
balanced by the cruelties perpetrated
upon her by her husband.
Draws Revolver on Woman
There We're about twenty witnesses
in the case, among them a valiant
groceryman, who testified that on one
occasion when he interfered with one
of the children whom he accused OF
having stolen a chicken, the mother had
attacked him, or rather had followed
him to the grocery store, where he. in
self defense for he told the court thai
through deduction and long experience
in the study of human nature he could
tell when person was desperate. hao

The case was finally continued for
further Investigation, but the two little

Iron Founder Claims He Was Attach ked
BY Former Fellow Workman

Thomas Lynch, who is employed at
the Llewellyn iron works, applied at
the office of the city prosecuting at
torney yesterday afternoon for a. conn
plaint against Richard Roach, who not

Col. jackson was one of the first men
to go to Alaska in 1879, and he built. the
first house in the town of juneau, now
the largest city I'm southern Ala ska.
Wherever the cry of gold has been
heard this son of the west has been
close at hand, and he has a stock OF
stories of the courageous deeds of
strong men and true" that would fill
many volumes.
Since he climbed the ice-covered noun
tains of the north he has gone down
into the heart of Mexico, always in
search of the yellow dust, and now the
search has taken him to Nevada.
The years of work have brought their
reward. and today the colonel and his

FOR SUPREME JUSTICE

In a recent issue of the Superior
Times, we note an editorial in regard
to the candidacy of Louis Hanitch
and H. H. Grace, both of that city
for the position Of Supreme Justice.
Mr.. Grace was at one time resident
of Grand Rapids, receiving part of
his education here. He has many
friends in this city and Wood county
who will take pleasure in casting a
vote for him at the coming spring
election. The editorial above referred
to indicates the situation in Superior.
as to the relative opinions held as to
two men. 1t reads:
There are at present two candidates
for tie Office of Justice of the Su-
preme Court, Louis Hanitch and Ii.
H. Grace. Both Of these gentlemen
reside ia this city. Both are good
lawyers. Both have the endorsement
OF a considerable portion of the bar Of
the city.
One, Mr.. Hanitch. is now and for
many years past has been the attorney
for The Northern Pacific Railway Co.
The other. Mr.. Grace, is not now and
we think never has been attorney for
any railroad or other public service
corporation.
Mr.. Hanitch claims the endorse
ment CT the bar of this city. There
were forty-three lawyers who voted
on the endorsement. OF which number
Mr. Hanitch received twenty-five.
1t is claimed that there were sever
al lawyers present and voting who are
not now and never have been practic-
ing attorneys, and that Mr.. Hanitch
has not the endorsement of a majority
of tie practicing attorneys in the
city.
If Mr.. Hanitch has such endorse
ment it is by the solid support Of ali
the railroad, elevator and public
service corporation lawyers, and then
only by maj GRITTY of one.
The people Of Wisconsin have been,
for the past five years, under the able
leadership of Gov. LaFollette, striving
to enact laws regulating railroads
and other public service corporations.
These laws have now all been put on
the statue books Of this state but none
of them have yet been before the
Superior court for decision. Should
JndU court uOlu UDe laws uDCOnSUlCu-
tional or otherwise void the work thus
far accomplished would be of no
effect.
1t is therefore important that these
laws should be upheld by the Supreme
court, When one considers that even
the Supreme court of the United
States decides very many important
cases by a bare majOrity-tiye to four
it is highly important that the new
member of the State Supreme Court
elected this coming spring, should go
upon the bench without any prejudice
or bias against the laws which have
been enacted to control railroad and
other public service corporations. 1t
may be and probably is true that Mr.,
Hanitch is not conscious of any such
bias or prejudice. We believe, how
eyer, that the people will demand
that the new member of the Supreme
Court be an attorney who has not for
years represented a railroad company.
Mr.. Grace is such an attorney and We
believe the people prefer him at the
present time to Mr., Hanitch.

Startling But True.

People the world over were Mortified
on learning of the burning of Chica-
60 theater in which nearly six hun
dred people lost their lives, yet more
than five times this number or over
5000 people died from pneumonia in
Chicago during the same year, with
scarcely passing notice. Every one
of these cases of pneumonia resulted
from cold and could have been pre-
vented by the timely use of Chamber
lain'S Cough Remedy. A great many
who have every reason to fear pneu-
mOnia have warded it off by the
prompt use of this remedy. The fol-
lowing is an instance of this sort:
Too much cannot be said in favor of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and
especially for colds and influenza. l
