HEALTH QUESTION
CONFRON7S COUNCIL
ANTI-SMokE LAW AND CLEANUP
CAMPAIGN PENDING
Special Sanitary Inspectors Will Be
Sent ou. with Police Backing to
Correct Any careIessness
by HousehoIders

Today's session of the city council is
likely to be briefer than usual as the
special session last Thurs day disposed
of the city attorneys report with a
score of sections involving much Iegis-
lation and recommendation.
1t is probable that Counciimen Yon-
kin and Wren will be absent and pos
sibly a third member, in which event
debate will necessarily be reduced
The smoke ordinance as finally ap-
proved by the committee of the whole
will be presented. This Is the measure
upon which the health board has been
at work for months. Corporate in
fiuences have objected to certain feat
urss, such as locomotives being in
cluded. smoke stacks being eliminated
as factors no matter how high they
may stand and other provisions, all OF
which will probably be threshed out
again today before final action Is taken
Mayor Harper will send message
asking that the health department in
spectors be increased rather than
diminished until the city has had q
thorough cleaning up as recommended
by the physicians of Los Angeles and
others who believe the lead taken by
northern cities should be followed.
twenty-five special inspectors may be
named to cooperate with the police in
demanding immediate enforcement OF
all sanitary ordinances, especially those
requiring that cellars and vacant lots
be cleaned, that garbage be put in
closed metal receptacles at all times
and that premises be kept free of rod
ents and bugs.
The question of ordering a hve-cent
bounty on all rats presented to the city
crematory will be disposed of by voting
the bounty in order to assist in the war
against rodents which the health de-
partment has inaugurated with the
council and police department backing
the fight.

LEAGUE TO AID NATIVES
OF INDIA PROGRESSING
Indo-American Woman's Restoration
Organization, Founded in Loo An
geIes, Opposes Marriage
of Children

The work of the Indo-American Wo-
mans Restoration league is making en-
couragng progress in betterirg marital
cond- ions in India.
Mrs. e. P. Wallace, branch organizer
of the league. is exerting every possible
effort, with her co-workers, In organizing
branch leagues in this country and is
meeting with marked success.
At recent meeting of the Methodist
Ministers association Mrs. Wallace
spoke briefly of the work of the league
and urged that the ministers take an
active part in placing before their con-
gregations the Importance of substantial
aid and sympathy to be given in relief OF
the suffering child-wives of India.
| Among the sentiments expressed at the
meeting in behalf of the good work Of
the league and those engaged in carrynf
! 1t on, Presiding Elder A. w. Atkinson o.
| the Los Angeles conference district, gave
Mrs. Wallace letter of recommendation
| to be presented to the ministers of the
churches, urging them and their con.
gregations to aid financially and other
wise N the work of orgal-.zing branches
of the league and the raising of mission
ary funds for India.
The Indo-American woman's Restora-
ton league was organized In Los An
geles in 1901. Through the efforts of
Mrs. Wallace. leagues have been formed
in the larger cities of America and others
are being organized In the foreign coun-
tries.
Mrs. Wallace is not only working hard
in organizing branch leagues, but is pre-
pairing herself for another tour of ag-
gressive work in India.
1t is expected that Miss Carrie Tenant,
vice president of the central league OF
Los Angeles, will accompany Mrs. Wal
lace to India.
Agitation General
The funds of the league, raised by do
nations sale of literature and by an an
nual fee are used to- provide and dis
tribute literature bearing upon the sub
lect of the general degradation of the
children of India, of child-maIriage and
child -widowhood.
The present activity of the league con-
sists not only in circulating literature to
cultivate the American conscience to
sympathize, but in also circulating the
petition for the protection of the children
of India by special laws against child
marriage under t. g age of 16 and raising
of the "age of consent" to that limit.
This petition will be presented to the
English king and parliament when the
time is ripe. Evolution may work raster
than the league and cause the example
1 the car of what is often called the
''barbarous Russias'' in abolishing child
marriage in Turkestan under the age OF
ID. with a possible attendant wave OF
sympathy and moral consideration, to IN
spire the king of the most enlightened
Christian nation" to care for the child of
India.
AS the petition has passed around
among the gatherings in Los Angeles and
vicinity, the league has found ready re-
Spouse from temperance unions. child
study circles, clubs, churcAes and mis-
sionary societies, the latter of which are
working to the same end, but by differ
ent methods. since the league Is strictly
non-sectarian.

SAY CITIES SHOULD CONTROL
THEIR PUBLIC PARK MUSIC
SUPERINTENDENTS UNANIMOUS
ON SUBJECT
Los Angeles Official, Back from Toron-
to Convention, Declares Munich
paIities Now Provide Con-
certs Out of Tax Funds

The recent international convention OF
park officials in Toronto, at which forty
two superintendent and assistant super
intendents from cities in the north, east
south and middle west were present, de.
veloped unanimous sentiment that park
music in the cities should be paid for
and controlled by the municipalities rather
than by private interests.
Superintendent John Morley of Los An
geles parks, the only Pacific coast dele
gate. said yesterday that it was deemed
best by these officials that the park de-
partments have full control of the bands
as they could then be placed in any park
deemed suitable. Besides, the depart
nient could control the quality of the
music better than If the bands were paid
for by trolley companies and outside sub
scribers.
1t appears that in most of the American
cities these concerts are now given at the
expense of the municipalities.
Movable Band Stands
Some cities have movable band stands
which fold up" said Superintendent Nor
ley, "and these are often moved to the
smaller parks and squares where the
poorer classes of people can hear the
music without being obliged to pay car
fare.
.'These concerts are especially desirable
on summer days and evenings and keep
the people out of mischief by providing
healthful pastime for them.
Some of the cities which pay for the
park bands are New York, Chicago. To-
ronto, Detroit, Buffalo. Cincinnati. Min
,neapolis, Grand Rapids. St Paul. Seattle.
San Francisco and many others.

perts, has fine system. including Queens.

.'The zoo is at Riverdale park, which is
the city's main playground Here ball
games, cricket, tennis and other games
are played, eighty permits being issued
for the week in which we were there.
Forty teams can play ball at a time.

The headaches and dizzy feelings that trouble so many persons, are often but symptoms of kidney com plaint.
 Kidney diseases are very treacher- pus. They come on silently, gain ground rapidly. and cause thousands of deaths that could have been pre- vented by treatment in the beginning.
 Nature gives early warnings of every disease, if you would but note and heed them. Backache, twinges of pain when stopping or lifting, head aches. faint spells and urinary dis orders are among the first warnings of kidney trouble

FRIENDLY LEAGUE
Building Opened 10 Visitors For
 Inspection Last Night.

Many members and friends of the Friendly League gathered in the en- tertainment hall last evening to at tend the annual opening reception. The whole building was open to in spection and the ushers were ready to explain the various uses of the vari- ous departments. The entertainment hall itself was beautiful with it's de- corations of brilliant foliage, which seemed to foretell bright and happy gest that league members must show their colors and do their best.
 During the evening Mrs Claude Macdonald Calvert sang ''I Hid My Love-" by Guy De Hardetot, and gave as an encore Swallows" by Cowen. Miss Helene Cecil Futile gave Rich ard Harding Davis "Mr Travers' First Hunt" and responded to an en- core with her silent original panto- mime, How Man Sewed on But ton," and later in the evening she gave James Whitcomb Riley's "Old Aunt Mary" The sweet memories that poem recalled to many heart caused hush to fall upon the hall as Miss Futile left the stage which was soon followed by enthusiastic ap- plause as the audience realized the magnetism of the artist.
 Miss Ida Fish of Keene, New Hamp- shire, pupil of Mrs Calvert, render responded to an encore with ''I Once Had a Sweet Little Doll, Dears."
 Waterbury knows Mrs Calvert and is always ready and anxious to hear her, as usual she charmed her hear CTS last exening, perhaps especially so in the Spring song. It was some thing new to hear her pupil and if Miss Fish is sample of how Mrs Calvert's pupils will sing Waterbury may expect many sweet voices.
 The president, Miss Ward, vel comed the guests and introduced the new members of the faculty. Miss Ward dwelt especially upon the bene- fit and recreation to be gained from taking up such courses as elocution and vocal music and of the good for tune of the Friendly League in hav- ing obtained Miss Futile and Mrs Calvert as instructors. Miss Ward
 also spoke of the enrolment of last year which reached nine hundred and seven and of the influence of the [ nine hundred and seven in as many homes hoping that through each stu dent some thought for good might grow.
 The superintendent explained the plans for the current year and the ev- ening closed with dancing.
