COMMITTEE OF SEVEN QUITS
Fails to Secure Cooperation of Frisco
Graft Fighters.


San Francisco, May 22.-The "com-
m1ttee of seven" appointed by the five
commercial organizations of San Fran
cisco to take over some of the power
of Mayor Schmitz with the latter's
consent for the purpose of bringing
about some order in municipal affairs
in consequence of a general disorgani-
cation and lack of harmony in the
city government resulting from the
sensational bribery graft exposures
has resigned. The reason assigned by
the committee for withdrawing was
that it had been unable to secure the
cooperation Of Rudolph Spreckels and
Francis J. Heney, who are the head
of the graft investigation.
This action was taken by the COM
mittee after a meeting which lasted
nearly the entire afternoon and at
which Governor Gillette sought in vain
to dissuade the members from taking
the step they did. The committee was
to have acted in an advisory capacity
to the mayor and the latter had prom
1sed to carry out whatever it recon-
mended

THIS is SAID TO
CLEAN The BLOOD
Splendid Home Prescription Which
Anyone Can Easily Mix--0ver-
comes Blood Disorders.

A leading journal in answer
ing the question, "What is the
best prescription to clean and
purify the b.ood,'' prints in a re.
cent issue the following: Fluid
Extract of Dandelion one, half
ounce, Compound Kargon, one
ounce, Compound Syrup Sarsap-
arilla three ounces. Shake we'll
and use in teaspoonful doses
after each meal and at bedtime.
A we'll known local druggist,
who is familiar with this pre-
scription, states that it is harm.

ingredients which can be OBJ
tanned from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy.
1t cleans the blood of all i'm.
purities and nourishes the blood.
In just few days the skin be
gins to clear of sores, boils and
pimples. It puts vigor and
energy into rundown, debilitated
men and women. For many
years Sarsaparilla alone has been
considered a good blood medi-
cine. But while it built up and
made new blood, the impurities
re NAMED within and the good
accomplished was only temper
airy. Sarsaparilla, however, when
used in com bination with Com
pound Kargon and Extract Dan
delion works wonders. This
com bination puts the kidneys to
work to filter and sift out the
waste matter, uric acid and
other impurities that cause d.
ease. It makes new blood and
relieves rheumatism and lame
back and bladder troubles.
This prescription is better
than the usual patent medicines,
which are IN the most part alco-
holic connections. The ingredi-
ents cost but little. They may
be procured from any good
pharmist and mixed at home.
Every man and woman here
should make some up and try it
if they feel their system requires
a good blood medicine and tonic.

ATTEMPTS TO END LIFE,
Ensign Implicated in Disorders at
Santiago.

Washington, May 2 The navy de-
partment has received a dispatch from
Santiago, Cuba, stating that Ensign
Alfred Z. Brisbin, who was in diff
Guilty with the police of Santiago
about fortnight ago in company with
sailors from the Tacoma, had shot
himself through the lung and was in
a serious condition. Ensign Brisbin
IS in Santiago. The official investiga-
ton of the trouble with the Santiago
police appears to have developed the
fact that Brisbin was drinking with
the sailors, which would doubtless
have resulted in his having been court
martialed. Brisbin entered the An
napolis naval academy from Pennsyl-
vania in 1899 and graduated in 1903
He was born in Idaho.

PICKETING IMPOSSIBLE.
Sweeping Decision by Federal Court
in Strike Case

Milwaukee, May A sweeping de.
cision against union picketing has
been rendered by Judge A. l.. Sanborn
of the United States district court in
the case of the s-Chalmers COM
pany against the striking union mol
ders. The strike began about a year
ago and last fall Judge Quarles issued
temporary injunction restraining
the union from interference with non
union workmen and with the business
Of the company. Later Judge Sanborn
convicted several union men for con-
tempt in violating the injunction and
suspended sentence as to the greater
number of them, twenty or more. Now
he makes the injunction permanent
and So sweeping in it's provisions that
concerted picketing will be practically
impossible,

How They Dance In Hungary.

With the exception Of the Spaniards
there is no nation in Europe that
dances like the Hungarians They love
it with love that amounts to passion.
They not only go in for it heart and
soul, but they will dance on anything,
in any sort of weather. A paddock,
village street, stable yard, the earth
en- floor Of a wayside csarda-it Is all
the same to them Not the scorching
sun or the whirling dust or the pelting
rain or the falling snow will deter
them. They all dance beautifully too.
It seems to be in their blood.

Growing Flowers In Winter.

A long run of dark days in winter Is
bad for the florists. 1t matters little
how cold the weather is, provided
there is sunshine, for the heat can al
ways be maintained to the proper
point, and with sunshine flowers will
bloom just as freely when the Their
mometer shows an outdoor tempera-
ture of zero as at the freezing point,
though of course more money must be
spent for coal. But when, day after

hang the sky, nothing will grow as it
should. The carnation buds develop
