Even II It he Emotional Insanity,

Even IL II he Emotional Insanity,
Let u Have Plenty Of IL.
Some English scientist has reached
the conclusion that laughter Is insan.
ity. He regards a AT Of laughter as an
emotional insanity Of short duration.
All right, then, give us a little more in
sanity. There is not laughter enough
In the world-at least the right kind Of
laughter. We will let the E%nglishmen
keep their faces straight II they want
to, but II belts the American civiliza-
ton better to break out into laughter
once In awhile. Laughter is good for
the facial muscles. 1t develops the
muscles of the neck as well as the face.
1t makes the corners of the mouth turn
upward instead of downward. 1t gives
the wrinkles of the face a pleasing out
line, quickens the action of the heart
and gives new life to the nerve centers.
Yes, we can afford to let the English
man look wise and idiotic If he wants
to. He can stare with fish eyed big
otry whenever a joke is perpetrated,
never allowing a ripple of merriment
to disturb the placidity of his counte-
He can do all these things that
he wishes to-, but let us go Oh laugh
ing. This kind of insanity mixes very
well with sanity and prosaic life. A
little burst of emotional insanity breaks
nicely the monotony Of facts and fig
ures.-Medical Talk.

THE WHALES SENSES.
Ability Of the Ponderous Animal to
Hear Under Water.

Hear Under Water.
1t seems perfectly evident that
whales must hear when in the water,
says the London Field. This inference
Is confirmed by the comparatively
small development Of the other sense
organs. The eye, for instance Is very
small and can be Of little use even at
the comparatively small depths to
which whales are now believed to de-
scend.
Again. the sense Of smell. judging by
the rudimentary conditions Of the OIL
factory organs, must be in allegiance,
and whales have no sense organs com
parable to the lateral line system of
fishes. Consequently 1t would seem
that when below the surface of the wa
ter they must depend chiefly upon the
sense OF hearing. Probably this sense
is so highly developed as to enable the
animals in the midst of the vibrations
made by the screwlike movements of
the tail or flukes to distinguish the
sound Tor vibrations made by the i'm.
pact Of the water against the rocks
even in n dead calm, and, in the case
Of ~piscivorous species, to recognize by
the pulse in the water the presence OF
shoal fish.
Failing in this explanation, II is diff,
cult to imagine how whales can find
their way about in the semidarkness
and avoid collisions with rocks and
%rockbound coasts.

DEMOCRATS PREPARE FOR
GREAT DEMONSTRATION
IN HONOR OF Mr.. BELL

We hope to make the affair the
greatest political demonstration that
has ever been held in California said
Anthony Schwamm. chairman of the
Democratic county central committee,
last night.
The executive committee held another
meeting at the Democratic club rooms
last night TO continue the perfection OF
arrangements for the event which will
occur Saturday night, November 8,
three days before the election. l
1t is confidently expected that there
will be not less than 10000 men in line,
including participants from cities and
towns throughout the county.
p. A. Blake of Whittier, the grand
marshal, figures on having about 400
horses in the parade, and H. j. Thomas
of Monrovia, who was instrumental in
getting up the automobile party for
Mr.. Bell when the Democratic nominee
for governor made his tour of the San
Gabriel valley, is confident that at least
100 automobiles will be in the pro-
cesSion.
A dozen bands will be employed for
the occasion, which will mark the close
of the Democratic campaign IN Cali
fornia.
1t is expected that practically all of
the nominees of the state ticket will
accompany Mr.. Cell to Los Angeles and

Two Youths Accused of Many Roh-

AS warming to the desperately bad
gang of young men who for the past
three or four months have been en-
gaging in hold-ups, highway robberles
and like amusements about Los Ange-
les and suburban towns, Judge Smith
of department one Of the superior court
yesterday sentenced Charles smith, the
rinsleader, and Harry Magee, his as
ssstant, to twenty-five and fifteen years
imprisonment respectively in Folsom
state penltentiary.
The appeal made by Magee's father
to save the lad from the disgrace Of the
penitentiary was pitiful, but the court
paid no heed, for Magee's record was
such as to admit of no mercy and he
received none.
Smith, the chief offender, came here
from Chicago some weeks ago. What
his record was in the east the police
have not learned, but he had not been
in Los Angeles many hours before he
had planned a system OF highway rob
berries which later proved unusually
easy, He was only II year old, but his
system was complete as soon as he had

merce hearing was resumed in the dis
trict court.
Twenty grain dealers elevator men
and railway officials were! subpoenaed
to testify.
B. r. Beall of Kansas City of the
National Grain and Elevator company,
which is affiliated with the national
board of trade of Kansas City, a rival
of the Kansas City board Of trade, tes-
titled in effect that farmers who dealt
with the national board and it's mem
bers likewise were blacklisted by the
Kansas City board of trade.
He stated that the rules Of the Kansas
City board of trade provided that any
member Of that organization dealing
with members of the national board of
trade were liable to suspension.
Asked if his company had experienced
any trouble from the Kansas City board
of trade or from any railway in moving
it's grain outside of Kansas City, Mr..
Beall said:
d Eyes. We experienced interruptions
when we attempted an export shipment
of wheat at New Orleans through the
Illinois Central elevator in that city.
They placed an embargo of 51z cents a
bushel on our shipment for running the
wheat"
Mr.. BeaIl had, he said, protested Wig
orously to the Off 7ials of the Illinois
Central railroad both at New Orleans
and Chicago, and the charges were con-
siderably reduced.
Mr.. Beall said that he had been a
member of the Kansas City board of
trade up to a year ago.

Irene Morso and Her Husband, Taken
Into Custody, Believed to
pa CrnaL<S

Irene Morse, alias Trixy Roberts, was
arrested last night by Detectives Zeig-
Ter and Hosick and booked on slispi-
cion. 1t is probable that the woman
will be prosecuted as Vagrant. Some
days ago Ed Morse the husband of the
woman, wrote q letter to her telling her
to look out for the police. Morse was
arrested OH suspicion, and in his room
at Fifth street and Ruth avenue was
found one of the most complete opium
layouts ever captured.
The Morse woman sent messenger
to the police station to bail out her
husband last night. The messenger re-
fused to tell where the woman was, but
the officers forced him to take them to
where she was awaiting her husband.
Morse and his wife are believed to be
petty crooks, and they will be sent out
of the city after they have been prose
cuted for VaErancy.

Catarrh of the Stomach
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and
EffectuaI Cure for II
COSTS NOTHING mol TRY

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or
bloating sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
risings formation Of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing, headaches, tickle ap-
petite, nervousness and a general
played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and if the in
terror of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, infiamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catharral condition will have disap-
feared.
According to Dr. Harlanson, the SAT-
est and best treatment is TO use after
each meal a tablet composed of Dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin, little Nux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dys-
RNPplH ldpltlH anu llOL Dtl1lf- a. patent
medicine, can be used with perfect
safety ana assurance that healthy ap-
petite and thorough digestion will fol-

resulting from neglected cold in the
head, whereby the lining membrane of
the nose becomes inhamed and the

ing backward into the throat, reaches
the stomach, thus producing catarrh of
