"My little son, when about year

chest, worse than the others. At the

hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing

RHEUMATISM RECIPE
PREPARE SIMPLE HOMEMADE
MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the Ingredients from Any Drug
gist in Your Town and Shake
Them in Bottle to
Mix This.

A Well-knOWn authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in a bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing a vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for a few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, etc.. some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
nent results, and the above will, no
doubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of even
the small towns elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
will mix the prescription if asked to.

SORORITY GIRLS WILL
RAISE GARDEN TRUCK
Alpha Phi Members Decide
to Try Their Hands
as Gardeners
PUT IN VEGETABLES
Cabbage Sprouts and To-
mato Cuttings Adorn
Yard of Quarters
PUT IN VEGETABLES

BERKELEY, June 25.-Sorority girls
as vegetable gardeners constitute a
novelty in campus history and the
Alpha Phi maidens accordingly find
themselves in the enviabie position of
those who have ventured from the
beaten trail and blazed out nice. new
path, full OF all sorts of disabilities.
Fraternity circles were agitated by the
news that the Alpha Phi damsels have
gone into the vegetable raising business
and would not credit the report until
absolute confirmation was supplied by
the sorority girls themselves. The girls
admitted the corn, and the potatoes and
the turnips and the remainder of the
list of vegetables which 1T is purposed
shall be grown on the Alpha Phi prem
iSes.
The Alpha Phis recently leased for
two years the house at 1912 Durant
avenue. Many of the girls have left for
the summer. but the contingent which
remains has decided to start a vegeta-
bic garden in the commodieus back
yard. and already a dozen beds have
been laid out. in which nestle cunning
little onion seeds. cabbage sprouts. to-
mato cuttings and other signs of vege-
table enterprise. The more optimistic
maidens in tne sorority house opine
that enough vegetables can be raised
In the back yard to supply the sorority
house table for long time to come.
Others who reject this commercial
view of the situation believe that un-
told benefit will come to the girls
through tie opportunity afforded them
of getting close to natures heart. The
Alpha Phi members are:
Misses Isabel Scudder Harrington, Florence
Marshall Ward. Marguerite Dorsey Shoecraft

QUOTES LAW REGARDING
CHILDREN ON THE STAGE

OAKLAND, June 25.-"The law in
regard to children on the stage refers
to acts on the vaudeville stage, such as
rope walking, dancing, contortion and
singing and is silent about juveniles
acting in companies of the class with
which Maude Adams is associated il
Peter Pan" said Probation Officer
Ruess today, "and I never expressed
any intention of interfering with the
production of that play. 1 have every
reason to believe that the children with
Miss Adams are as well cared for as
any child in the best of homes, and
preventing the play on such grounds
would be to infiict a distinct esthetic
loss upon this community. The arti-
cles appearing in a morning paper to
the effect that / would stop the pro-
duction of Peter Pan puts the work
/ am engaged in in an unfavorable
light before the public and would
cause the Importance of probation
work among juveniles to be underesti-
mated"
Ruess then outlined some features of
the task he hoped to accomplish. He
included the establishment of a ju-
venile court, with a proper detention
home and a system whereby each case
closing, however, he promised to give
his attention at an early date to the
vaudeville theaters of the county which
have made a practice of featuring child
performers.

GROOM TO Be ARRESTED
ON PERJURY WARRANT

SAN RAFAEL June 25.-A romance
of three weeks duration was brought
to a fearful end here this afternoon,
when the father of Miss Awilda Pfetjen,
popular young member of the society
set, swore out a warrant for the ar
rest of William A. Samabeck on the
charge that the latter had perjured
himself in giving his age when a
marriage license for himself and Miss
Pietjen was issued on June /. The
action of Pietjen was the first public
news of the marriage of the young
couple and caused furor in society
circles here.
Pietjen appeared before District At
torney Thomas p. Boyd this afternoon
and asked for the warrant for his son
in laws arrest, declaring that Sama-
beck, whose home is at Elmhurst, is
but 10 years of age and that he willfuIly
misrepresented his age when he Sc
cured the marriage license by stating
that he was 81 years old. Pietjen also
asserts in his complaint that Samabeck
induced Miss Pietjen to become his
wife by asserting that he was the heir
to a large estate, when in truth he is
the son of a scavenger.
Miss Pietjen is the niece of former
Adjutant General Burnett. is young,
pretty. well educated and talented and
is popular member of the most ex-
elusive society circle of San Rafael.

MARK TWAIN HONORED
At NOTABLE LUNCHEON
All England Eager to Pay
Tribute to American
Hurnorist
SECRETARY PRESIDES
Members of Parliament Quit
Seats to Meet the
Visitor

LONDON, June 25.--The finest tribute
which Mark Twain has received in
England was the Pilgrims luncheon
in his honor today The hosts NUM-
bered $50. Two notable speeches were
made, that of Chief Secretary for Ire
land Tyrrell in introducing Marx
Twain, which was classic and full of
humor and concluded with tribute
which brought the company to its feet
with prolonged cheering. and Clemens
reply. which was largely humorous.
y telegram of congratulation, signed
The Undergraduates of Oxford was
read and another from the New York
Pilgrims The presence of many mem :
bers of parliament was particularly
complimentary. as they were obliged to
absent themselves from one of the most
important and interesting debates Of
the season.
The committee in charge of the
luncheon was obliged to refuse the
applications of nearly 1000 persons of
prominence who were eager to attend.
There were only two toasts king
Edward and the President of the United
States. and Our Guest, Mark Twain. .
In proposing the latter toast Toast
master Birrell said that Samuel L.
Clemens was known to all good men
and women in both hemispheres, and
to all boys and girls who were good
for anything, as Mark Twain. The
dead authors, he said, were a mighty
army. They abounded on the shelves,
but Mark Twain was the finest speci-
men extant of the living artist He
was not going to say what the world
thousand years hence would think
or Twain. but he was speaking for the
men and women of today and their
children--to say what Twain had been
to them.
He remembered in 1867 buying a copy
OF The Jumping Frog" in the preface
of which Twain was described as "the
wild humorist of the Pacific slope" But
the author had proved, to be an influ-
ence in dissipating national influence
and would leave the world richer than
he found Ii.
Clemens. in replying, said that Secre-
tary Birrell had touched very lightly
upon his position as a moralist He
was glad to be recognized as such be-
cause he had suffered since he had
been in England. When he came here.
he said. he saw a placard announcing
that Mark Twain arrives" and The
Ascot cup is stolen" and he had no
doubt that his character had suffered
thereby. He was quite sincere in his
protest, as he never got the cup be-
cause he never had chance to get it.
Then in a similar Dantering mood he
told story after story until. becoming
more serious, he pathetically referred
to the loss of his daughter. Conclud-
ing, he said:
i have received since arriving hum
dreds and hundreds of letters from all
conditions of people in England. There
is compliment and praise in them, but
above all there is the note of affec-
tion, and affection is the most precious
reward a man can desire whether for
character or achievement.
These letters make me feel that in
England, as in America, l am not a
stranger, not an alien, but at home"

FRANCIS WELLMAN To
LEAD THAW's DEFENSE
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

day. From trustworthy sources it is
learned that Francis Wellman, the
noted criminal lawyer, will act as chief
counsel for Thaw at his next trial. TAX
ing the place of Delmas. Today was
the frst anniversary of the killing of
Stanford White. Evelyn Nesbit visited
her husband and they chatted together
for more than an hour.
Walking between two other men ac-
cused of murder. Thaw laughed and
joked over the printed reports of his
i'll health as he swung about the prison
yard of the Tombs in the motley pro-
cession of prisoners out for an airing.
II am not ILL.," said Thaw. I'm fact.
I am feeling in fine condition save for
the intense heat But isn't this asphalt
pavement beastly hot?"
The Imprisonment of Abraham Hum
mel on Blackwells island for one year
will probably delay the trial of Thaw.
1t is more than probable that his case
will not be called before the next jan
uary term of the criminal branch OF
the supreme court.
District Attorney Jerome said today;
"Thaw will end his life in the electric
chair. 1 am greatly interested in his
mental conditions 1 am going to lei
him sweat in the Tombs all summer
and if he is insane the heated spell will
bring it out. If he passes through the
ordeal all right then he will be placed
on trial again"
