"CURE-ALL" VENDER
TROUBLES CITY FATHERS
Members of Pasadena Council Seek
Best Method of Kidding City
of Patent Medicine
Salesman

PASADENA, Nov. 16.-Pasadena city fathers
request suggestions of the best method of rid
ding the community of the presence Of a pat
ent medicine vendor who advertises himself
as 1.-THE Wonderful Fer Don."
Conservative members of the medical fra
ternity have repeatedly called the councils
attention to the operations of the vendor with
recommendations that he be prohibited from
further plying his vocation. How to do this
is a problem for the city officials and the
legal advisers have racked their brains to find
come way to close the shop for the objection
able street doctor.
The health board recommends that a tax
of 5000 per day be imposed, but the council
finds this cannot be done as the doctor is
already paying the regular license fee imposed
by ordinance and should an attempt be made
to place the figures prohibitive he would fight
1t in court and perhaps come out victorious.
The council will again wrestle with the
question tuesday and in the meantime the city
attorney and his assistant will endeavor tC
recommend some way to prohibit the brass
band and free minstrel show attachment
which are the means of drawing the crowds o1
gullbles who buy what is purported to be
"cureall" remedies.
The city attorney believes the noise ant
glare of the free shows given nightly can bt
declared q nuisance.

CHICAGO, Nov 18.--While there are
no longer complaints of car short
age the officials of western lines do not
think the danger of one Is past. 1t is
their opinion that when confidence Is
restored business will be resumed on a
much larger scale and the roads will be
unable to meet the demands which will
be made upon them.
To prepare for this the car shops are
overloaded with repair work. Thou
sands of cars, which heretofore were
in such demand that they could not be
sent to the shops until the great fall
rush was over, are now being over
hauled and put in storage. Moreover,
so far as known, no orders for new

Tho Word Etiquette.

The very high sounding word Ell
quette had very humble origin, for
etiquette meant simply label. 1t re-
ceiyed its present Specification from
the fact that Scotch gardener who
laid out the grounds at Versailles for
Louis XIV. was much annoyed at the
courtiers walking over his newly made
paths and at length had labels placed
to indicate where they might pass. At
first these labels were not attended to,
but a hint from high quarters that in
future the walks of the courtiers must
be within the "etiquettes' or labels
was promptly attended to. To keep
within the etiquettes became the cor
rect thing The meaning of the phrase
was afterward widened.
