SMITH WANTS SHIELD AGAIN
Police Captain, Derated Years Ago,
Seeks Justice from New
Board

Patrolman Joseph A. Smith, now sta
toned at the Arcade depot, yesterday
asked the police board to reinstate him
in his former rank as captain,
Smith was derated in 1899, and has
since then done patrol duty special
detail work. He claims that he was
unjustly degraded and submits that
he should al this late day get justice
Old-t time police officers say Smith,
who is better known as Gus" Smith,
is a valuable man. and that politics
caused his removal, he being the in
nocent sufferer in the shift. AS the
civil service commission was not es-
tablished until afterwards, the COM
missioners yesterday decided to refer
the request to the city attorney for an
opinion.

NO BRIDE KISSING FOR JUDGE
STEPHENS
Skips That Part of the Service Every
Time and Sets a Precedent
That Other Justices
Do Not Like

Is d kissless marriage preferable to
an oyerkssed marriage?
That is the difficult question which
the young aud old brides OF Los Ange-
les county who have the habit of be-
ing married by justices of the peace
are asking themselves this weather,
and the pretty ones favor the former,
the other kind the latter,
Such a thing as a kissIess marriage
was unhcard Of before Justice Albert
Lee stephens, the recently elected JUS
tice took Office. but since that time the
kisslcss marriage ceremony has been
fashionable.
With the exception of drawing the
color line. Justice Pierce has missed
but very few pretty brides during his
administration in the osculatOry per
rormaucc and the groom has been COM
PEELED to set the example.
When Justice Pierce would receive a
couple who wished TO be united in the
holy bonds he would deliver delight
ful little talk about marriage and It's
sacredueSs and about the history OF the
marriage ring and then he would finish
up by saying:
Man, salute your Wife
About that time there would be some
thing doing. The bride would blush
rosy red and the groom would kiss her
and then Justice Pierce, extending mis-
arms as though to give his blessing,
would seiz. the bride and imprint the
seal of office Sometimes there was d
struggle, at other times not,
Justice Young did not use the salu-
tation himself but he saw to it that his
clients always kissed one another be-
fore he signed up the marriage certifl-
cate,
But Justice stephens is the kissless
justice.
ON the quiet, the justice is a young
bachelor and he is not quite certain
how it feels to kiss a girl and he hasn't
made up his mind yet that it is up to
him 10 tIN

rings about with him.
"One day Mrs. Cressey said that Cres-
scy came to her and told her that if
she would give up the three pocket
knife mcmentoes of husbands one, two
and three he would give up the three
wedding rings of wives one, two and
three ana he would pool them all and
buy Mrs. Cressey pretty bracelet.
she told me she had let him have
the knives and that ne went away and
bought her the bracelet, but that when

Childhood is the period when the

Reflex action, CO. ordina ton of mus

nervous system is pushed to it's utmost
capacity. and long is the list of victims
that follow it's over stimulotion. In
these little people. nothing but harm
can come from the use of such articles
as tea or coffee.
Bad. then, as this practice is, let us
as physicians be aggressive in its pro-
hibiton. Do not be satisfied by ans
wering NO" when asked as to its
USE but let US teach the families with
whom we come in contact, that such
practice is evil. We speak ,emphatical-
ly, because not only among the poor

is marvelously prevalent"
