Trial Court Reversed by Court of
Appeals.

San Francisco.-sThe judgment and
order are reversed and the trial court
Is directed to sustain the demurrer to

PENDANT as to such indictment"
This was the decision handed down
oy the district court of appeals re.
versing the judgment of the trial court
IN the case of former Mayor Eugene
b. Schmitz, sentenced to five years in
San Quentin on the charge of Holding
up French restaurants in the matter
OF liquor licenses, and setting aside
the. indictment on which his conviction
was had. The trial was made notable
by the appearance OF Abraham Ruef.
the political dictator, who controlled
tine municipal administration and prac.
tlcally placed Schmitz in office, as q
witness against the mayor, testifying
that he had paid to him as his share
$500 of the $4,000 received by Ruef
from the French restaurants in order
that Schmitz would permit the board
OF police commissioners to issue liquor
licenses to them. Ruef had, previous
to this, dramatically pleaded guilty to
the same charge, at the same time
making the enigmatical statement that
he was innocent.
On the ground that the indictment
did not show that public offense was
committed because it did nos allege
any threat to injure property, the
court holding that liquor license was
not property, but mere permission:
that threat to prevent the obtaining
OF liquor license by one who had no
authority in the premises did not con-
stitute a threat against property: and
because of numerous errors in the rul-
Ing of the trial judge-Superior Judge
Frank Fl. Dunne-the appellate court
held that the Indictment was invalid
and the conviction null and void In
effect, the court held that Schmitz was
not given fair and impartial trial.
Added interest was given the Ruef
case by the report that the breach be-
tween Ach and Ruef was again healed
and that Ach will take charge OF
Ruef's legal matters again.
Attorney Drew for ex-Mayor
Schmitz, has made an appeal for bail
for Schmitz. Drew also asked District
Attorney Cook to have Schmitzs bail
reduced from $355,O0O to an even
100000
Ruef, it is said, will have to stand
trial on all his indictments. He re-
fused to testify for the prosecution
| unless the prosecution granted him
full immunity. This was refused.
Without Ruef the prosecution will
have difficulty in connecting up many
of the defendants with the alleged
crimes.

BoRAx, NATURES DTsINFEcTANT,
CLEANSER AND PURIFIER

Everyone realizes the necessity of
some method of publication of sinks,
drains and utensils in which may Turk
the germ Of dreaded disease.
Health is a question of cleanliness
and prevention
Most people are familiar with the
use of disinfectants in their ordinary
sense-all of which are either unpleas-
antly associated with disagreeable
odors on which are depnded to kill
the germ of contagion (Which disin-
fectants must of necessity be of a
more or less dangerous character and
must be used for this purpose and no
other, and in consequence must be
kept from children and careless hand
ling.
There is, however, within the reach
of all of our readers a simple, safe and
economical article that will not only
answer for every disinfecting purpose
but can also be used for a multi
tude of domestic cleansing and purify
ing purpOses-Borax.
Borax is pure, white, harmless
powder coming direct from Natures
laboratory; in fact Borax has often
been called Natures Cleanser and
Disinfectant."
Two tablespoonfuls of Borax in a
pailful of hot water poured. down the
greased-choked pipes of sink or flush
ed through disease-laden drain,
cleanses and PRIZES it, leaving it clean
and sweet.
Bed clothing and clothes used in a
sick room can be made hygienically
clean and snowy-white, if washed in a
hot solution of Borax water.
Kitchen and eating utensils used
during illness will be kept from all
possibility of contagion if Borax is
used when washing them. Pure as
snow and harmless as salt, and be-
cause it can be used for almost every
domestic and medical purpose, Borax
must be considered the one great
household necessity.

RHEU MAT|SM RECIPE

MADE MIXTURE YOURSELF.
Buy the Ingredients from Any DRUGGIST
in Your Town and Shake Them in
Bottle to Mix This.

A well known authority on Rheuma-
tlsm gives the readers Of large New
York daily paper the following valu-
able, yet simple and harmless prescrip.
ton, which any one can easily prepare
at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in a bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being a
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take
This pleasant mixture, if taken regu-
larly for a few days, is said to overcome
almost any case of Rheumatism. The
pain and swelling, if any, diminishes
with each dose, until permanent results
are obtained, and without injuring the
stomach. While there are many So
called rheumatism remedies, patent
medicines, etc., some Of which do give
relief, few really give permanent re.
suits, and the above will, no doubt, be
greatly appreciated by many sufferers
here at this time
Inquiry at the drug stores of even the
mall towns ELECTS the information that
these drugs are harmless and can be
bought sepa ately, or the druggist will
mix the prescription if asked to.

The
General Demand

Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy OF
known value; laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because it's component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with it's
excellent combination of Syrup OF
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for it's remarkable
success.
That Is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir OF SIENNA IS
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine manufac-
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
only, and for sale by all leading
druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.
