THE PRICE OF A KISS.

Kissing" wherein the lecturer had

other infections), "still it sometimes
causes trouble, as I have reason to

WELL" she said, "this is a sad
tale. There are sad things in this
world, you must admit Meg, even
though you can smile, always"
Eyes, | admit there are sad, very
sad, Incidents" I replied. Then she
told me this little narrative and I re-
Trained from further interrupting her.
"It was while we lived on our good
old farm in King County, Washington.
We had beautiful place, Meg. l
only wish you could see it as l do now
in my mind. Six miles from the Dor
ders of Seattle, the house stood back
among three great naples, and the
yard was one mass of flowers from
March until late October. My little
girl was only three years old when my
old chum, Myrtle Reece, came to visit
me. We had lovely times while she
stayed, and I was sorry to see her re-
turn to Ohio early in the fall. We had
spent a happy summer, and l drove
with her into the city on the morning
she wanted to leave, feeling rather
blue over losing her. My baby was

a year later. She was very near the
wheel and it struck her, throwing her
with great force against the curb and
an internal injury resulted, from which
she died. After that my health was
so poor that my husband sold the farm
and we came away. but I long for it
every day."

FAILS TO
KEEP RECORDS HERE

State Surveyor General W. S. Kings
bury is now in a position to resume
his interrupted journey to washington
with the records Of his Office needed
in the Hyde-Benson land fraud trials
He got as far as Truckee one day last
week, but was brought back by tele-
graphed injunction issued by Judge
Seawel Monday the Judge discharged
that injunction and yesterday he de-
MED another application for an injunc-
ton made on an amended complaint
filed by Attorney c. H Fairall, alleg-
ing that the Sacramento searcher, v. l..
Roberts, and all other citizens and tax
payers of the state would suffer ire
parable injury by the removal OF the
papers.
FairaIl from the first has denied that
he was acting for Hyde and Benson In
this matter, but yesterday he was
coached in court by William H. Met
son, law partner of Joseph c. Camp
bell, who is assisting in the defense of
the defendants In Washington.
Judge Seaweu made 1t plain almost
at the outset of yesterdays proceedings
that he had no intention of granting
another injunction Fairall cited sew
eral cases to show that tax payers had
right to object to the removal of
state records from the state.
"But it is not shown that your client
is tax payer" said the judge. Attor-
ney General Webb who was present
with United States District Attorney
Devlin to resist the granting of an in
junction, said that Kingsbury had been
at some considerable expense to in
vestigate whether or not he had the
right to take the records to Washing
ton. He had come to the conclusion
that he had that right, inasmuch as
the papers needed were dead" records.
not often referred to, and dealing with
matters long since settled.
Fairall said yesterday afternoon he
had not decided whether or not he
would take other steps to block the de-
parture of Kingsbury. It is understood
the surveyor general will leave for
Washington today.

DYSPEPSIA EASILY REMEDIED

Dyspepsia is generally looked on as
a disease much the same as numerous
other ailments, but as a matter of fact
ii stands in class by Itself and theo-
retically is not a disease at all, but a
deficiency of the chemicals by which
digestion is produced although the re-
suits of dyspepsia on the system are
such that a long line Of constitutional
diseases are traceable to it. 1t is fire.
Quently styled the Mother of Mala-
dies"
If a good digestive be used regu-
larly for a while and the diet is cur
tailed by avoiding sweet things and
pastries the stomach VIII soon be re-
stored to it's normal activity and dis
tress after eating, berching and dizzi-
ness Will be quickly relieved.
The best formula for this purpose is
as follows: Two ounces essence of pep
SIM 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
The catandir compound IS product
of the laboratories of the Globe Phar-
Co. of Chicago. and it, as
well as the other ingredients, can be
gotten at any well stoes-ed drug store
and easily mixed at home.

FAULTS POINTED OUT
Horace Davis Takes Issue With
DIR. Jordan on Latter's Policy

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, April IA.
Under the caption Some Radical Needs
at Stanford" the current issue of the
Stanford Sequoia, which will appear
upon the quadrangle tomorrow, con-
tains an article by Horace Davis, presi-
dent of the board of trustees of Stan
ford university, in which he cites sew
eral faults in the conduct of the uni
versity and suggests remedies for them.
He differs from the view taken by DIR.
Jordan, who suggested that freshmen
and sophomores be eliminated and that
specialization be taken up. At the
present time. says Davis, too much time
and energy are devoted to research
work More money should be devoted to
providing general education. This
tendency to run to research Is classed
by the writer as serious and leading to
the ill balance" OF the university, as
he calls 1t.
Another weak point, President Davis
points out. is the lack of cooperation
between the various departments. He
says that the lack of opportunity to
discuss public opinion in university af-
fairs is wrong, and that the faculty
should meet oftener to consider such
topics.
Coming from a member of the board
of trustees and one held in high regard
here and in San Francisco. both as a
businessman and philanthropist t,
the article will cause widespread COM
ment. In introducing the article Edi-
tor E. n. Smith of the Sequoia says:
