ler and Charles and George Wide,
saved the lives Of eleven japanese fish
ermen at imminent risk to themselves.
Freeth was the conspicuous hero OF the
occasion.
A heavy storm was blowing on the
Venice breakwater and the Japanese
sought shelter behind it. They were in
three boats and were unable to man
age them.

angry sea and carried life lines to the
boats. The third time he jumped INTO
one of the boats and safely steered II
to shelter. BY his action the eleVeh
lives were saved. -,

MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS -
MONDAYS SESSIONS
NOW BUT MEMORIES
CITY COUNCIL WILL MEET
TUESDAY MORNINGS
Increase Of Business in the Various
Departments Has Rendered
Change of Program a
Necessity

For the first time since Los Angeles
has had charter the city council will
not meet Monday The regular meetings
of the legislative body will hereafter
be held Tuesdays, beginning with a
session at 10 o'clock in the morning.
1t will be the endeavor of the council to
get through with all the city business
of the week in the two hours between
10 o'clock and noon Tuesdays, but il
they do so Councilmen Wallace and
Dromgold will have to do less talking
and more listening. Councilman Wren
also will have to give more attention
to the proceedings, so that every other
matter will not have to be repeated to
him.
The growth Of Los Angeles and con-
sequent increase in the business of the
city departments has made necessary
the change in the time and day of
council meetings. The weekly reports
of the various departments have been
growing to such an extent that there
has been great difficulty in getting
them finished in time for presentation
to the council Monday afternoons.
Their length has also so prolonged the
council sessions that 1t has been found
impossible to finish all business dur
ing Monday afternoon, and adjourned
sessions have had to be held Tuesday
mornings.

The Pimple
and the Face
First Show Signs of the BloOd Poverty
Which Causes Most Ska
Diseases

1t is a strange truth that pimples
usually appear upon the face, thus IL
lustrating that nature uses the most
direct method of convincing man that
the blood is filed with poison.
The human circulatory system is
said to be the most wonderful Of all
evidences of nature 1t carries health,
food and strength to every part Of the
body. 1t also carries from every part
of the body all germ life, waste matter
and decay.
II through poor eating, indigestion,
constipation, etc, the blood is filled
with poisonous, decaying, irritating
fluids. these poisons are carried to the
lungs, where they are attempted to be
cleansed by the oxygen from air in
hailed.
IL this does not accomplish the re-
suits demanded the blood takes away
the poison and carries 1t to the little
cells Of the skin, where they leave 1t.
Here these pOisons irritate and decay,
until at last they form piTnples ana
blackheads and other skin eruptions;
at last bursting or are removed by
man.
When you have pimples it is a GER
tain sign your blood is wrong, that the
great human blood system is turned
into an intricate series of sewerage
canals which are filled with impurities
Science long ago learned that Calci-
um Sulphide was the most powerful
harmless and beneficial blood purifier
obtainable.
Stuart's Calcium Waters, under
chemical tests conclusively prove
themselves to be one of the best meth
DDS of preserving the full strength OF
/ this great blood cleanser.
/ The real beauty of Stuart's Calcium
! WATERS lies in their rapid work. Theii
| good effects are seen after only a few
days use and a face full of pimples has
/ been made clear and clean after only
! five days use of these waters.
These waters, by the peculiar Stuart
process, preserve and hold the full

OLD STATUTE WILL MUCH
FACILITATE PROSECUTION
Knights of the 5rakebeam, Regarded
as Suspicious Characters, Can Be
Held for EVading Payment
of Fares

An old statute, passed in 1878, has
been unearthed by Paul Mccormick
deputy district attorney at the police
station, which will make easier the
prosecution of a certain class of Of
tenders. Difficulty has been expert
enced in holding men arrested for
dropping from the brake rods or roofs
of trains, because of a supposed lack
Of statute covering such cases. The
police frequently desire to hold men Of
this class for more serious offenses.
The statute discovered by the deputy
district attorney makes evasion of pay

men suspected of burglary or other
crime may be held until their records

Valuable Work of Animal In
dustry Bureau in Check
ing Disease.

The work of the Territorial veterina
rians in conjunction with the regula
tions being enforced by the Board o
Agriculture and Forestry is doing
great work to prevent the spread o
animal diseases. The report of Nj
Tease, Assistant Territorial Veterinarian
is replete with valuable information
concerning CHAMBERS, ETC., and the meth
DDS taken to check its spread. The re
port to the board, read at yesterday Z
meeting of the Board of Agriculture
was as follows:
Twice a week [ have examined the
horse in the japanese stable at Iwile

been taken against him, he being fined
$50.

On September 22d Mr. Myhre, the
milk and dairy inspector, reported to
me a case of a cow which seemed not
to be in good health. The COW was
located in a japanese dairy on School
street, the man having obtained same
from a Portuguese and now that [ had
appeared he was very anxious to get
rid of it.
The animal was very much emaciated
I applied the tuberculin test but OBJ
tanned no reaction and also examined
the feces for embryos of liver flukes.
The embryos while quite numerous
seemed to me insufficient to produce
such degree of emaciation. Mr.. Myhre
was somewhat inclined to believe it
case of starvation and we are now
watching the animal which is now in
the possession of the owner and under
different condition. If it does not i'm
prove after sufficient time has elapsed
it will be killed and post norton made
to try to discover the cause of it's con-

Florida Pine Plants.

Two pineapple plants were received
per mail from Florida. They were
fumigated and dipped in Bordeaux and
as further precaution submitted to a
plant pathologist for examination. He
reported finding no disease but coun-
seled retaining the plants in quaran-
tine under observation until maturity
in order to enable us to destroy them
should disease, now within, make its
appearance externally before then.
They were turned over to the nursery
men for confinement, the government
nursery being the best place we could
think of available for the purpose.
Should additional importations re-
quire quarantine, as would appear like
ly from a telephone message received
from a citizen DESTROYS of importing
new pineapple varieties, it may become
necessary and desirable TO seek the
cooperation of the q. S. Experiment
Station for this work, since that sta
ton is already equipped with ample
grounds, and expert oversight.

The yams brought by the Korea
from the Orient on the Goth were
found infested with numerous colonies
of our common ant (Pheidole negace-

for which they were fumigated before
being released. Some of the yams
were found affected with fungus at
the extremities and Mr.. Lewton- Brain,
to whom specimens were submitted, re-
ported that it was of parasitic ma
ture. The importers of these roots
were therefore notified through their

so infested will be destroyed. Glad to
report that such action was not found
necessary with yams that arrived sub

Coast Fruit Rejected.

A large number of the apples and
lemons coming from California during
the month were found infested with
greedy scale (Aspidiotus rapax) and it
was found necessary to return or fumi-
gate those found excessively infested.
The insect is already formidable pest
in the Territory, especially to native
trees in some districts, and to augment
it by the admission of hordes on fruit
is not desirable. Herewith I beg to
exhibit two apples taken out of the
same box, one before, the other after,
fumigation. Both are infested with
greedy scale at the calyx; while the
former shows a vast number of young
bugs Matched since importation, the
latter bears only the few original
adults, beautifully demonstrating the
effectiveness of fumigation.
