AUTO HAD revenge
GOT eLoRIoUs.Y EVEN WITH
CAR THAT WRECKED 1T.
Affair Closely Resembling a Duel to
the Death Afforded Diversion to
Crowd on San Francisco
Street Recently.

San Francisco.-An electric car, q
gasoline runabout, a willing and over
Jealous motorman. two amateur au-
tomobile enthusiasts and chorus of
apprciative street car patrons-these
composed the principals, supporting
cast and audience which figured in a
one act arenic spectacle put on with
out prior announcement in the middle
of Suffer street between Pierce and
Scott
The event, which had every element
of a tragedy but at the same time was
replete with delicate humor which
converted 1t into comedy, was in the
nature of gladiatorial struggle to
the death between electricity and gas
oline. AS an exhibition of mortal COM
bat it was an equal of the melodramat-
ic thriller of 10 cent theater. for all
concerned got 1t in the neck in the
end.
The automobiles one cylinder al
fair-started the trouble; but then, too
much should not be said about Its
faults for the dear departed should not
be reviled. Suffice 1t that the machine
suffered paralysis in the middle OF
that the ministrations of its two occu-
pants were of no avail. Its wheels
absolutely refused to go around either
in answer to the appeal of its own
engine or when urged by the strong
arms of its disgruntled passengers.
Then the street car came up behind
and stopped.
"Wha 'smatter?" sang the motor
man to the accompaniment of bell
solo with his gong.
Give us Shove" came the answer
Were stuck"
The motorman was accommodating.
He unslung the heavy connection bar
used when a well car goes to the as
sistance of a sick one, and attaching
one end to the front of the car, braced
the other against the back of the auto
mobile. Then he turned on all the
juice.
1t was foul blow. The automobile
was looking for a steady shove and 1t
got slap. The bar flew in the air.
the street car gave bound. there was
one resounding crash and a couple of
yells, and the automobile was subject
for the machinery morgue. 1t had
refused to bulge even with several
hundred volts of Patrick Calhoun's
soothing syrup behind it, and the
heavy car made scrap heap of 1t.
But in its expiring gasp the auto sent
back as good as had been given and
evened up the score. Its drive chain,
wrenched loose from the machinery,
writhed out with a hiss of hate, struck
fair and true, and for the fraction of
a second formed connection between
the motor box of the street car and
one of the rails.
"Bang!" Retribution had been re-
ceived. The car demolished the auto
mobile, but the automobile short cir
Quilted the whole Suffer street system
In return. And then the passengers
got out of he dark, silent car and
gazed at its lifeless bulk standing
there over the ruin it had wrought
Only one or two of them swore; all
the rest sat down on the curb and
laughed.

The pure food law does not prohibit
the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking
Powders because Cream of Tartar is
as pure as Alum-but it is a well
known fact that baking powder in
which Alum Is used instead of Cream of
Tartar is less injurious. DIR. Herman
Reinbold. the expert German chemist,
in a recent official report concerning
Baking Powders, declares that pure
Alum baking powder is better and less
injurious than the so-called Cream of

HOMEMADE REMEDY
INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY PRE-
PARED BY ANYONE.
Is Said to Promptly Relieve Baekaehe
and Overcome Kidney Trouble and
Bladder Weakness Though Harm
less and Pleasant to Take.

What will appear very interesting
TO many people here is the article
taken from a New York daily paper,
giving a simple prescription, as formu-
lated by a noted authority, who claims
that he has found a positive rem
edy to cure almost any case of back
ache or kidney or bladder derange-
ment. in the following simple prescrip-
ton, If taken before the stage of
Brights disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated
that the ingredients are all harmless.
and can be obtained at small cost
from any good prescription pharmacy,
or the mixture would be put up il
asked to do so. He further stated that
while this prescription is often pre-
scribed in rheumatic Affections with
splendid results, he could see no rea-
son why it would not be splendid
remedy for kidney and urinary trou-
bles and backache, as it has peculiar
action upon the kidney structure,
cleansing these most important or
gans and helping them to sift and
filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sick
ness and suffering. Those who suffer
can make no mistake in giving it a
