Horizon.

A man calls it the horizon where the
earth and the sky seem to meet, but a
woman's notion Of the horizon Is the
families she can see moving in from
behind her front window curtains. II,
further they hang out their washing
In a spirit OF candor, they are, Of
course, all the more So The horizon
is caused by a number Of things, chief
among them the gregarious instinct.
Only for this next door would mean as
little as tariff revision or pure food or
international arbitration. 1t takes a
star or something Of that sort to rise
above the horizon, but very ordinary
woman may feel above it.-Life. se

A lady, accompanied by her small

the army and navy stores in London.
The boy grew tired.
'sWho are you buying those for?'' he
asked. ys
Why, for father" was the reply.

. NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
They Succeeded the System Of rNomi
4 2% nation by Caucus.

r
Conventions have not always nomi-
mated our presidents and vice presi-
dents. For more than thirty years
presidential candidates were named by
a caucus made up of members Of the
house and the senate. This system
died when In 1924 the caucus insisted
upon BY Martin Van Buren, and other
friends of William n. Crawford OF
Georgia defeated Crawford, which
threw the election into the house on
account Of the scattering electoral vote
caused by the entrance of Clay, Call
houn, Jackson and John Quincy Adams
In the race. This fracas elected Adams.
The campaign Of 1928 in consequence
was somewhat demoralized, and in
1881 the Republicans followed the ex-
ample the anti Masonic party had set
the year before and met in conYen-
ton sin Baltimore to nominate Henry
Clay The Democrats held their first
national convention ID the same city
the following year, nominating Martin
Van Buren, for Vice President. The
dominating figure yof the party, Andrew
Jackson. needed no Endorsement of his
candidacy for the presidency.
The Democrats in 1885 and 1910
nominated Van Buren, for the presi-
dency in Baltimore. and the Wings
nominated Clay IN the same place in
1874, when the Democrats named Polk.
In 1886 Romulus M. Saunders intro
duced the two-thirds rule to the Demo-
cratic convention, and 1T was adopted.
The customs Installed at these earlier
conventions which succeeded the tyran-
ny Of the caucus chamber have been
continued and added to- from time to
time, and the Conventions today are
merely the descendants Of those that
nominated Clay and Van Buren,

The Agony of
Impure Blood
Can Be Readily Relieved by Using
Stuart'S Calcium Waters
After Meals
A Trial Package Sent Free

Impure blood causes pimples, letter,
brash, scaly skin, periods of intense
itching, eczema and many other pain
full and discomforting skin Affections.
Purify the blood and in q short time
the skin clears itself of the dead and
waste deposits, fostering and irrita-
tion cease and a clear, white and
healthy skin appears.
Most people attempt to cure pimples
and skin eruptions with exterior appli-
cations, such as salves, lotions, plas-
ters, etc. This method only drives the
irritation elsewhere and serves at best
but temporary relief.
Calcium Sulphide is a blood purifier
prescribed by almost every physician
and Is the most powerful eradicator
known TO science,
Stuart's Calcium Waters contain the
full strength of this wonderful blood
invigorator, which is often weakened
from evaporation, decay or chemical
change in other methods of preparing
Calcium Sulphide is difficult to pre-
serve, and hence the failure Of many
druggists and chemists to hold its full
strength. But when this can be done
Calcium Sulphide drives impurities
from the blood In less time than any
other known substance.
Stuart's Calcium Waters also contain
Ouassia, Golden Seal and Eucalyptus,
each one a great blood purifier and
stimulator. An Alternative and laxative
is also combined with the other ingre-
dients to enable nature to remove more
quickly all Irritating and infectious
matter from the system in a natural
and easy manner.
Go to your druggist today and ask
his opinion of Stuart's Calcium Wa
fers. They sell for SOC per package,
or send us your name and address and
we will send you trial package by
mail free. Address Z. A. Stuart Co.,

Union Men and Women Celebrate
Completion of Structure with

Affair

Seven hundred and fifty couples par

new social hall at the Union Labor
temple. at the ball given by the Labor
Temple association last night The hall
has been used for a mass meeting. but
the bali last night Is the first occasion
since the finishing touches were given
to it.
The association ball was the first OF
a series of similar functions which Will
be held In the hall by labor organlza-
tions during the winter. Temporarily
the social hall will be useo TOT mass
meetings. but upon completion OF the
main hall on the fourth floor of the
Temple the social hall will be given
over entirely to the purposes Tor Wnicn
Ii was planned.
I'VE believe we have the best dane
ing floor In the city" said J. p. Tim
mons of the Temple association last
night. 1.-THE unions which have 'Deen
represented In the work of getting the
hall ready have put themselves out IN
the same spirit that Is being shown
throughout the building Of the Temple
and the results have surprised every
body"
The electrical decorations, which were
presented and installed by the cleo
trical workers, are a feature of the
hall. The Illumination is furnished by
rows and circles of colored bulbs which
ar, harmoniously arranged In the cell
ing to throw ample light In every sec,
ton of the hall. The decorations Will
remain In place for the electricians
ball next Saturday evening.

ing treated to q genuine cloudburst.
The deluge lasted about twenty MIN
utes and was accompanied by GOWN
fall of hailstones as large as OF even
larger than marbles.
With this came a white precipitation
so similar to snow that II Is nara TO
persuade some Of those who witnessed
II that II was not the real article.
Visitors to the big hotel at Mount
Wilson woke up Saturday morning 10
find themselves face to face with true
winter. The snow lay an Inch deep
and was still falling. while the water In
the wash basins and pitchers was
frozen. Early in the morning, however,
the sky cleared, but the air continued
full of frost
That weather conditions are still un-
settled and altogether extraordinary Is
further evidenced by the appearance
Yesterday morning at Santa Monica, at
I O'clock. of three distinct waterspouts'
great columns Of water half a mile In
extent being distinctly visible from the
shore, twisting and sWirltng ror IulIy
half an hour before the preak oc-
Cured.
WoIlaber Optimistic
Despite these unusual conditions MT.
Wollabers information enables him to
issue the following encouraging lore-
cast:
1.-THE western storm area has moved
slowly eastward during the last twenty
four hours and is present as trough
of pressure extending from the upper
lake region southwest to Texas. thence
west to Arizona. The western exten-
sion of this storm is responsible ror
more than the usual amount or cloudl-
ness in Southern California, and iight
precipitation in northern Arizona. Ne
vada, the Salt Lake basin and the Pa
ciflc northwest.
"Precipitation has also occurred In
the northern states between the Rockies
and the great lakes, but elsewhere east
of the great divide no precipitation OF
consequence has occurred.
1.-The pressure has risen rapidly over
the north Pacific states and clearing
and cooler weather prevails In that
region. This high area is expected to
cause generally fair weather in Los
Angeles and vicinity, but owing to the
depression to the east more or less
cloudiness may be looked for. Some
what lower temperature viii probably
be felt in the interior districts"
Los Angeles herald., 1908-10-18

places the ground was covered as with
a coating of snow.
No damage is reported to crops, the
orange growers from all sections re-
porting that the hail was not sufficient
ly large to cut or bruise the fruit. The
rain will do an immense amount OF
good in developing the Christmas
orange crop. which has set well.
Roads have been washed out quite
badly, especially in the mountains, and
in this respect the damage is quite Sc
we're. There the downpour was ter
rifle, but it will do much good by
washing out the channels Of the
streams and preparing them for the
reception of heavier storms during the
winter. In fact even in this respect
the beneficial results are said to Offset
fully the damage.
