SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April ~
"By this is meant that the said party

that which rarely exists-a model hus-
band"
With these words one of the strang-
est marriage contracts ever drawn up
in California was brought to a close
yesterday when Mrs. LIE Pont, aged IS,
a native of France, and Joseph Du-
four, aged 26, were joined in wedlock
at the home of the bride on the south
east corner of Banding avenue and
Oak street, Alameda.
A peculiar combination of, circum-
stances and infirmities brought about
the wedding The bride is a rheumatic
cripple and bed-ridden, while her
youthful husband, paralyzed in his
right arm, is unable to do any physi-
cal labor The newly married couple

youthful groom used to call at the
home of the aged woman to solicit or
tiers for tea and coffee. They sympa-
thized with each other in their afflic-
lions and the woman, who had long
passed the three score and ten limit,
took a fancy to her young caller. He
ran errands for her and in every way
tried to make her life happier.
In order to insure this treatment
for the balance of her days, and be-
ing without kin, she proposed that Du-
four become her husband, and in con-
sideration of that arrangement she
would give him $500 in cash that she
had in the bank. besides her valuable
realty holdings where she resides. The
groom accepted her proposition. with
the result that the unique nuptials
took place at the bedside of the crippled
woman this afternoon. -"

of the flowers home with them to

Nov how did the Howlands sue

as to befuddle the most pretentious
Spiritualists of Los Angeles? How
were the flowers brought into the

will explain a really clever trick:
"a woman confederate of the me-
dium was in the audience. When the
committee of women was named to
search the medium this woman con-
federate made one. She wore petit
coat different from anybody else; hers
had all the flowers used during the
seance, cunningly concealed in it.
When the medium had been undressed
and searched, the woman wearing the
stuffed petticoat suggested that the
medium wear her petticoat during the
seance, Just to make the test condi-
tions perfect in every particular. So
you see the very test conditions out
of which the Howlands made so much
capital enabled them to work their
simple yet clever trick, and that, too,
right in the face of the committee.

back room, adjoining Wylie's studio.
There I saw Wylie's spirits piled UP on

however, but just. images on glass of

Stomach Sufferers
Squander Millions
In Search of Relief

The world is full of dlsordered stom-
achs and 80 per cent of the money
spent upon physicians and drugs goes
in an attempt to cure the stomach.
People are made to believe that in
order to gain health they must doctor
their st0machs and use cathartics. So
the doctor gets his fee for the stomach
treatment and the druggist for the
physic, until the savings of a lifetime
are exhausted and yet no cure.
Let's be reasonable.
The sick stomach is in every case
the result of overeating, hurried mas
tication and improper choice of foods.
The mucous lining all the way down
the food tract loses it's sensitiveness,
and when food Is forced down the
muscles fail to respond. They do not
churn the food as they should. The
glands no longer give out gastric juice
to dissolve the food and render II
capable of assimilation. The man has
become a dyspeptic.
There is one sure way and only one
to bring positive relief. Put into that
stomach of yours the very elements
that 1t lacks to get that food into liquid
form. 1t takes pepsin, diastase, golden
seal and other ferments to accomplish
this. The healthy stomach contains
these elements. The dyspeptic stomach
lacks part or all of them. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablet is made up of just
what the dyspeptic stomach lacks
natures digestives.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not a
medicine, not a drug, not cathartic.
They do not cure anybody of anything
but Dyspepsia and Indigestion and such
ailments as arise from poorly digested
food.
While they digest the food the stom-
ach recuperates. The mucous men,
brane is coming out of its stupor,
the gastric juice is coming to the sur
face, the muscles are regaining their
power. Every organ of the body takes
on new life, the skin gains color, and
the eyes are no longer tinged with yell
low. You live.
Why doctor and why drug yourself?
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets will take
care of your food while Nature cures
you.
Try a box at your druggists, so cents.

HERALD'S CRUSADE
PUTS FAKE MEDIUMS
OUT OF BUSINESS
GRAFTERS ARE REDUCED IS PER CENT
Expose of Chicanery Takes Profit Out of CONNER
cial Spiritualism-Som Practicing With
out Licenses p A. Jensen Tells
Of Spirit Photography

A s result of the crusade waged
II by The Herald against fake medi-
ums, clairvoyants and others OF
their kind who take the money of the
gullible public under false pretenses
the grating fraternity of Los Angeles
has been reduced in number by nearly
75 per cent, according to report of the
city license clerk.
In September before The Herald cru
sade was started, there were $50 IL
censed clairvoyants, card readers, mag
netic healers, mediums, palmtsts,
psychics and fake Hindoo mystics ope-
rating and taking the money of Los
Angeles people.
At the present time the number Is
thlrty-six, and the reason given by the
license clerk is that The Herald crusade
has so reduced the number of their VIC
TINS as to render the vicious trade nc
longer profitable.
The Herald expose of the tricks
worked upon the public-of the frauds
perpetrated on the weak women and
foolish girls, to say nothing of the nu-
merous other Victims-has made people
wary of throwing their money away
for fake conversations with departed
friends or relatives or for fake glimpses
into the future.

Dupes Appreciate Crusade
Letters of appreciation are being re-
ceived daily at The Herald office from
people who have watched the crusade
and read the exposures of various fax
ers. Many of them have been dupes
of fake mediums and have frankly ac-
knowledged it and expressed their
thanks to The Herald for enlightening
them.
p. A. Jensen of 825 Sunset boulevard
has had much experience with mediums
of various kinds, and he says he has
watched the various features of the
expose with much interest. 1.-THE Her
aid has done great work." says he.
Spirit photography, so far, has not
been so extensively utilized by fake
mediums as means to defraud the
public as any Of the other mediumistlc
phenomena. There are, however, many
mediums who use it as a side issue
along with the other phases" contin-
ued Mr. Jensen.
"Mr. Wylie, the photo medium, is
the only spirit photographer on the
Pacific coast who depends entirely
upon this one phase of the phenomena
for success, He has for months past
in conjunction with Elsie Reynolds
been the great attraction at the Semi
Tropic Spiritualists' Camp, at Eden
dale. Mr.. Wylie generally lives either
| in San Diego or Los Angeles; he has
many customers in each place, most
of them aspirants for mediumistic
honors. When a person is to become
a great medium-great enough to as
| tonish the word-he OF course wants
| to know all he can about his spirit
guides, who are to work the wonders
| through him. Mr.. Wylie has always
| a great variety of spirits in stock
suitable for the most exacting and
pretentious spiritualists.
Years ago Mr.. Wylie had rooms in
the Grand Pacific hotel on Spring
street. Being at that time interested
| in spirit photography, / visited him
frequently Like others who went to
him, l received many spirit faces upon
my pictures, but not one OF them could
l recognize as a spirit friend or rela-
tive from the other world. While puz-
zling myself about this apparent i'm
consistency something happened which
cleared up some of the mysteries OF
