Important to Ladies

We venture to assert, with
out fear of successful con-
tradiction, that the practi-
toner of medicine who is
able to cure a surgical case
without resort TO cutting in
the end, will make more
friends and build UP better
practice than he who is ever
ready to draw the scalpel, no
matter how skillful he may
be. Operations are undOubt-
edly a necessity and all cred
it is TO be given TO those who
master the art Of operative
technique, but it cannot be
disregarded that every opera
tion is fraught with certain
risks and dangers, and that
until a positive method of
avoiding shocks, etc., be
found, the patients will fear
the surgeons knife and will
cling to him who can con
scientlously offer a less risky
method of cure. The LILY
REMEDIES offers you this
hope. We have cured others
aud may cure you. If we
fail, there is yet time to try
other means. If the surgeon
fails, the end has come and
life has fled. You are invited
to call at my parlors. Con-

The librarian of Harvard university,
the largest library in America, with
the exception of the national library,
commonly called the Library of Con-

II read the clipping from The Herald

ulate you on having started up the
work in the Los Angeles library in so
many good directions. You seem to
have introduced a great many COM

A piquant letter from Joseph f.
Daniels, who received his training from
John Cotton Dana, the model public
librarian, says;
Wishes More Power
ut is a pleasure to note the tone
of confidence and purpose of your re-
port The details, at this distance,
lose. of course, much of their insis-
tence and stronger meaning, but the
main fact of progress and power and
the apparent-the obvious Intelligence
used in directing the library as ma
chine of public tervice is what strikes
me, and l am sure that it must so
impress the thinking people OF Los
Angeles.
THAT you were mistaken for simple
and picturesque figure that had acct
dentally wandered into public life
through one of those unaccountable
shifts of rapid adjustment, for which
the social forces seem to have an at
inity. is no longer the point of view
of the Los Angeles public nor the
library world, and it is reason for con-
graduation which J. extend to you and
of which 1 retain a sufficient working
amount myself-coagratula that a
man may defy inane conventions OF a
technical sort If he be In earnest. and
that without the help of the social
momentum he may arrive somewhere
ahead of and above the dead level OF
standardized medlocrity and have the
fact recognized by the veriest pinhead
of the proletarlat and politician class.

MY Dear Mr. Lummis 1 owe you an
apology for not calling again after your

day of my visit at your library in

The play was followed by the usual
group of class songs and in these the
senior AS took many good-nat atured
slams at their under-class men. Miss
Ruth Aubury was the accompanist, and
to her is due much of the credit for the
originality of the songs.

Following the glowing success of the
class play the senior A class adjourned
to Levy's Immediately after the eXer-
cises where the most ambitious ban
quet ever attempted by high school

Young Actors Do Well


the climax of the afternoon was
reached. For weeks the young actors
and actresses have been working dill
gently to produce a play that would do
them credit, and the fact that from the
rise of the first curtain until the fall
of the last there was never a lull in the
interest is sufficient proof of their sue
cess
Grace Brown was chosen to play the
part of Janice Meredith, and a charm
ing young Janice she made. Pretty and
vivacious and with much more histrion-

did fine bit of work. OF the maids,

FATHER DIED
ON DAY SPIRIT
PREDICTED

New York, Dec. 2i.-Professor James IL.
Hyslop i'm the proceedings OF the Ameri-
can Society for Physical Research, just
issued, declares that the spirit of his dead
wife communicated with him, forecasting
the early death of her father-which later
occurred exactly as predicted by the spir-
1t; and that the spirit of this dead father
in-law then sent messages TO him from
across the void.
Taken at their face value, the state
ments seem TO establish at last the possi-
bility OF communication, in a partial man
ner at least, between the living and the
dead.
Professor Hyslop last night absolutely
declined TO discuss the phenomena.
II cannot discuss these things outside
of the reports that 1 make" he said.
There are the results; that is all l can
say now"
Not the least interesting feature of the
latest developments is the fact that Prof.
Hyslop had been able TO achieve these
most striking results through the spirit
ualistic assistance OF Mrs. Smead, a
medium whose powers. IL is claimed, far
surpass those displayed by Mrs. Piper of
Boston, who was made famous by the
late DR.. Hodgson.
Smead. by the way, is not this woman 5
real name. She is the wife OF an ortho-
dox minister living in an inland village,
who has never received a penny for her
service and has never given a public ex-
hihition of her powers.

100 MINERS
HAVE 4 VERY
NARROW ESCAPE

Hazleton, Pa. Dec. 2L-More than loO
miners narrowly escaped drowning today
in the No. slope of tho Lehigh and
Wikesbarre Coal company at Audenreid.
through the unexpected tapping OF a
large body OF water in the abandoned No.
slope adjoining. The water reached to
the chins Of some Of the men, who got to
the surface through two separate open
ings. Officials at first thought that all OF
the men had escaped, but later the body
Of a Polish miner was found In No. 4
slope. IL is believed he fired the shot that
broke the barriers between the workings
and the water. Because of the confusion
attending the flight OF the men from the
flooded mine the men are not certain
whether all got out. The flood rose rap
idly and then quickly subsided.
Nine men lost their lives in this mine
last July.
