they overlap, the effect is most at

lines which the average woman cannot
always avoid possessing.

STRANGER HURT IN A
MYSTERIOUS MANNER

A well dressed man, carrying conside-
rable money in his pocket and apparently
well to do, was taken to the receiving hos
pital about o'clock last night uncon-
scious and with a bad cash over his left
temple. Subsequent investigation re-
vealed that his name was j. A. Mcdowell
and that he had until recently been stay
ing at the Hotel Rosslyn.
The man was picked up at Third and
Broadway by three unidentified men rid
ing in a large TOURING car. These men
brought him to the receiving hospital,
where the belief was expressed that the
abrasion on his temple had been caused
by a hard fall against the curbing.
Mcdowell evidently had been drinking,
but was seen just previous to the sup
posed accident In an apparently sober
condition.
He appeared in extreme agony at the
hospital and an examination of his heart
showed that il was in an unusually bad
condition, presumably due to the blow on
his head. The examination at the hos
pital failed to reveal whether or not the
skull had been fractured, but when the
injured man was removed to the Califor-
MIA hospital at midnight he seemed to
have little chance of recovery.
So far as known he has no relatives in
Los Angeles.

SAYS MEDIUM FOUND
HUSBANDS AFFINITY
WOMAN PREPARES TO FILE SUIT
FOR DIVORCE
Deserted Wife Asserts She Has Proof
Against Soul Mate of Spouse and
Will Lay Bare Secrets of
Home Wreckers

Claiming her husband has been in
fiuenced by a so-called soul-mate, supplied
by fake spookster, to separate from her
and take up his abiding place with his
affinity, Mrs. Nj. D. Valdez of 1861
Wright street is preparing to file suit to
annuel her marriage ceremony, which
took place in Los Angeles five years ago.
Recently suit was filed by the woman
husband to force her to sell the residence
owned by them at PAT Inez avenue. This
property is valued at $4,000.
Mrs. Ellis Baldridge is the woman who
acted as go-between for my husband
while he was searching for his soul
mate" said Mrs. Valdez last night.
AT last she found one which seemed to
suit him in the person of Mrs. Winnie
Nixen, and since that time my husband
has been almost constantly in the COM
pany of this woman.
1.-TWO years ago he left me and I now
have proof that since that time he has
lived in the same house with Mrs. Nixen
II will not file suit for divorce until
after the case now in court is settled.
When It is, however, l shall file a COM
plant against my husband. AT present
l cannot say what will be alleged in this
complaint, as my attorney has instructed
me not to talk. 1t will be a sensational
case, however, and will lay bare the
secrets of several so-called spirituallsts
who make a practice of wrecking homes"

Dyspepsia Easily Remedied

Dyspepsia is generally looked on as
disease much the same as numerous other
ailments, but as a matter of fact 1t
stands in a class by itself, and, theoreti-
cally, is not a disease at all, but a de-
ficiency of the chemicals by which d.
gestion is produced, although the results
Of dyspepsia on the system are such that
a long line of constitutional diseases
are traceable to it. 1t is frequently
STYLED the Mother of Maladies.''
Probably the most effective remedy for
dyspepsia now obtainable is known to
the profession as Catandir Compound. 1t
accomplishes the entire function Of di-
gestion in The stomach. thus allowing
that organ a complete rest which in a
short time. If the treatment is adhered
TO. will restore it to its full vitality and
activity.
A well known specialist on stomach
troubles says the best formula for this
purpose Is as follows: 1.-TWO ounces Es-
sence Of Pepsin; three ounces Syrup Of
Ginger; one ounce Catandir Compound;
mix these and use in doses of from one
to two teaspoonfuls after each meal,
also at bedtime for the first few days"
The ingredients can be had at any well
stocked pharmacy and it makes a mix
ture pleasant to take and probably the
most effective known to science for re-
storing the stomach to its normal con-
dition.

BOARD PROHIBITS
SECRET SOCIETIES
PASSES RESOLUTION CONDEMN.
ING FRATERNlTIEs
Students Who Join Such organiza-
lions in the Future Will Be
Cut Out of All
Honors

Owing to the action of the board OF
education at it's regular meeting last
night students Of the high schools of Los
Angeles who are not now members OF
fraternal societies will probably not be
allowed to associate themselves with such
organizations under the penalty of being
denied the customary public honors at
tending the graduation OF the offending
pupil.
The following resolution to this erect
was offered by the high school committee:
pursuant to the recent opinion OF the
city attorney that If upon Investigation
it is determined that the attendance by
high school students upon meetings OF
secret societies. clubs or so-called creek
letter fraternities Is detrimental to schoot
work. OF il it tends to lower the scholar
ship or to contempt for school author-
ity, or Is in any manner detrimental 10
good order and discipline the board may
by suitable regulation, forbid pupils TO
maintain memberships in such organiza-
tons or to attend meetings of the same
Must Refuse Membership
'',Therefore, inasmuch as membership in
and attendance upon the meetings of fra
ternities, sororities, clubs, organized upon
the foundation of former fraternities ana
sororties and social clubs which meet
periodically Is prejudcial and detrimental
to school work, and because of its time
consuming and distracting character
tends to a lowering of the scholarship
of the person who so belongs and at
tends: and inasmuch as such banding
together of students, after the request
of the board of education of January zS,
1857. that students in the high schools
do not hereafter accept membership III
said societies and fraterntties, is IN con-
tempt of school authority and highly det-
rimental to the good order and discipline
of the schools
Therefore, be it resolved, That the
board of education announce that here
after students in the city schools of Los
Angeles who accept membership In such
fraternities, sororities, social clubs, or
ganized upon the foundation of former
fraternities and social clubs which meet
periodically, shall be prohibited from be-
longing TO or taking part in the work
of the debating clubs, athletic teams ana
other kindred organizations and societies
of the school; shall be ineligible to hold
office of any kind, or in any way to
publicly represent the school; and fur
Their, that they shall be deprived of the
customary honors attending graduation
from the school.
The report of the finance committee
was submitted and the demands approved
and ordered paid. The total amount was
S13 2s5. n. which was divided as follows:
County contingent fund, $599e.65: library
fund, S1112S2; Los Angeles city school
building fund, $1O65.53; common school
fund. SS71S73; common school building

Speaker
BY sIDLE LAWRENCE

If the Hibernianism may be pardoned
last night was field day for Joseph
Galbralth at the Belasco. Galbraith re-
turned to the Belasco stage after con
siderable absence to discover that he had
not been forgotten. His welcome was SO
cordial that it proved embarrassing and
at the close, after the play was over, the
audience insisted upon Mr.. Galbraith' $
making a speech.
Now Galbraith is good actor. Off the
stage he can even make bluff at selling
real estate; but neither off stage nor on
can he make an impromptu speech. 1t
may have been excess of emotion that
spoiled those few after-the-curtain re-
marks, but don't believe 1t. l believe
it was just common, everyday stage
fright.
In his speech the leading comedian"
suffered and stammered worse than the
ingenue in the play. He said he was

STAGE SETTINGS ARE
MARVELs OF BEAUTY

Romance of that picturesque period
s'before the white man came" portrayed
for the most part delightfully."- and staged
in settings of primitive beauty difficult
of description, are the points in the Fer
ris production of "The Redskin" which
most appeal to the ordinary theatergoer.
Poetry there is in plenty in the story
of the Indian maid whose heart went
out - the huntsman detested by his
tribe: pathos there is in the unholy and
unavailing love of the unadored one
whom he would not love because she was
a wife; and while there is tragedy in the
sad death OF the gentle heroine and her
manly lover the story of the play will
please all lovers of the poesy to be found
perhaps more abundantly in the folk
lore Of the American Indian than in
that of any other race.
Manager Ferris has outdone himself in
the telling scenic investiture of the play.
His effects are beautiful in the extreme,

beautiful because of their simplicity and
truth.
1.-THE Hill of the Watch" first scene of
all, is one of the best of the play. The
setting is in a birch wood with the noon
peering through the trees and the council
fire in the foreground to the right. while
the chieftain's tent is to the left. The
next tableau, at Namobin's pool, Is also
a truly beautiful piece of work. Indeed,
there is scarcely a scene in the play
which does not call for commentator.
