It's a pleasure to tell our readers
about Cough Cure like DR.. Shops.
For years DR.. Shoop has fought against
the use of Opium, Chloroform, or other
unsafe ingredients commonly found in
Cough remedies. Dr. Shoop, it seems,
has welcomed the Pure Food ard Drug

ed along similar lines many years. For
nearly 20 years DR.. Shops cough Cure

BENNINGTON SURVIVOR IS
VICTIM OF SMALL SCRATCH
Sailor Who Set His Own Jaw After
the Explosion May Lose Arm
from Prick of
Brass

A small cut on the little finger of his
right hand may cause Louis Neitham-
mer to lose his arm.
Neithammer is employed In saloon on
San Fernando street While cleaning
brass there late Thursday afternoon he
cut his finger on a sharp corner. He
paid no attention to the injury at the
time. but toward nightfall it began to
swell Neithammer then visited ply
stefan.
When he awoke yesterday morning he
found his entire arm had swollen greatly
and was giving him great pain. Neitham-
mer hurried to the receiving hospital
where it was found blood poisoning had
set in The injured man was then hur-
ried to the county hospital for treat
meDt.
Neithamer was a sailor on the Ben
nington at the time of the disaster at
San Diego last year At that time his
Jaw was broken and one of his fingers
torn from his hand. He was unable to
secure medical treatment at the mo-
ment, so he set the broken jaw himself
and also fastened his finger in such
way that it has mended nicely
According to the physicians who ex-
amined his jaw the work was well done
and the bone is now firmly knit.

APPOINTMENT
COMPLETES COMMITTEE
TO REPRESENT CLEARING HOUSE
IN CONFERENCE
All Charter ReVisionists Who Will Do
Preliminary Work Now Named,
but Mayor Harper Awaits
Absentees' Return

With the appointment of John E. Fish
burn, president of the National Bank of
California by President w. c. Patterson,
of the Clearing House association, the
full list of delegates to the charter re-
vision conference is in Mayor A. c.
Harper's hands.
AS Councilman Wallace and Blanchard
are absent from the city it is probable
that no meeting will be held until after
their return
One of the first subjects to be taken up
is the number of revisionists who shall
constitute the permanent committee.
Some Of the councilmen favor emitting
all city Soffcials from the final COM
mission and making it body composed
of doctors, preachers, professional men
and business men.
Non-partisans say that the reason that
the Republicans want no city officials on
the commission is that they fear only
one representative may be selected from
the council finally and he may be non
partisan.

INSANE, SLASHES HIS
THROAT AND WRISTS
NELS HOLMBLAD OF ORPHEUM
KILLS SELF
Believing He Was Hounded by News
papers, Takes Fatal Step-Dies
While Being Transferred
in Ambulance

While temporarily insane Nes Holm
blad, an employee of the Orpheum theater
cut his throat and slashed both his
wrists with a razor in his room at the
Yosemite house, 115a South Broadway,
early yesterday morning.
He was found by ]. c. Donnely, a
lodger in the house who heard Holmblad
calling for aid. The man was hurried to
the receiving hospital.
About 10 o'clock it was deemed ad-
visable to take Holmblad to the county
hospital and an ambulance was called.
When it was a few blocks from the
station Holmblad began to grow weaker
and by the time the county hospital was
reached he was dead.
Holmblad has been employed at the
Orpheum theater for about six years.
During the last two years he has been
acting strangely, but no one suspected
his sanity.
A few weeks ago he began to COM
plain that newspapers in Los Angeles
were publishing articles detrimental to
him This idea about the stories was
hallucination, as no mention of his name
has been made in any local paper.
The body was taken to Pierce Brothers
undertaking establishment and coroner's
inquest was held yesterday afternoon
The verdict was suicide.

DATES OF MEETINGS
ARE NOW DECIDED
REV, DIR, r. A. TORREY WILL HOLD
REVIVAL SERVICES
Great Preparations Are Being Made by
the Church Federation for EVan=
eeIistic Series-NeWs of
the Churches

The executive committee of the Church
federation has secured the Morley rink
for the Torrey evangelistic meetings, TO
be held January to the first Sunday OF
February, under the auspices of the
Church federation.
The dates have been advanced, as the
old ring could only be secured for those
dates, as it is to be torn down immedi-
ately after the close of the meeting.
Arrangements will be made for the
seating of between five and six thousand
people, DR.. Torrey has visited the rink
and says that it is equal if not better than
the large hall in which he held meetings
in London, England.
A large chorus will be secured and
trained before the opening of the serv-
ices, and all the Protestant Evangelical
churches will join in the services, which
will continue over five Sundays. 1t Is
expected to be one of the largest evan
gelistic movements that have ever been
undertaken in Los Angeles.
