POSTAL APPOINTMENT
CAUSES CONTROVERSY
Ocean View Sees Itself PrecIud-
ed of Federal Honors

BERKELEY, March 10.-With the
creation of William Rust, a business
man of the county line, as postmast ter
of the district lying between Siege and
Ocean View controversy has arisen.
According to law a postoffice can not
be established nearer than mile from
another, and Rusts appointment pre-
cludes all possibility OF a postoffice at
Ocean View, as the new office is at the
county line, and an attempt has been
made to oust him from the position
The only solution to the difficulty seems
to be the establishment of a branch of
flee, with full powers of the main one
in Ocean View. This probably will be
done by the residents of Ocean View,
who also have the consent of postmas-
ter Clarence Merrill of this city to use
the West Berkeley office.

WHIPPING POST FOR
WIFE BEATERS URGED
Alameda Police Sergeant in Fa.
vor of Corporal Punishment

ALAMEDA, March 10.-Police Ser
geant Albert Kamp has come out as an
advocate of the whipping post, partic-
ularly for wife beaters.
He believes that corporal punishment
would do far more to deter brutal hus-
bands from mistreating their spouses
than the present system of fine and
Imprisonment.
Il believe that the whipping post
would be the most corrective institution
that the police could have in connection
with this department. said kamp. 1T
has proved a great success in Delaware
and oregon. especially in the cases of
wife beaters, and the records show that
there is less abuse of women in those
states than in other states where the
whipping post is unknown"

WHlSkEY FOR LAME BACK
Formula Whose Quick Action Surprises
Expert Doctors.

The Increased use OF whiskey for
lame back and rheumatism is causing
considerable discussion among the med
ical fraternity. It is an almost in
fallible cure when mixed with certain
other ingredients and taken properly
The following Is the formula:
ITO one half pint OF good whiskey
add one ounce of Toris compound and
one ounce syrup SarsapariI1a compound.
Take in tablespoonful doses before each
meal and before retiring.
1t Is surely worth trying by anyone
who may be afflicted.
Not only will this formula promptfr
relieve the muscular pains, but 1t also
makes one of the most effective system
builders known to the profession. If
will increase the appetite anG IL use
is continued will restore full phvsiea I
vigor to all persons of failing strength
especially the decline caused by age
The Toris compound In nnection
with the other Ingredients has such a
decided action in purifvin~ the blood
that the good results OF this treatment
can be felt after the first few doses
but 1T would be a serious mistake to
discontinue until the health is COM
pletely recovered.

TO KEEP OUT THE
BURGLAR.

No more nervousness, no more fear
Of burglars! A German has invented
a burglar alarm which prevents a
night prowler from entering a window
or door without arousing the dead.
This appliance has been thorough
ly tested by the police authorities of
Dresden and Berlin, and the most ex
perienced criminal experts were un-
able to find flaws In the apparatus, or
to enter into the protected premises
without starting the alarm. The ap.
pliance itself is very simple, consist
Ing Of a curtain or portiere. wired with
fine conductors. At certain places on
the curtain are affixed small metal
knobs, which are connected with the
wire conductors. The curtain is then
drawn across the window or door, or
around the safe and the slightest dis
turbance of this position Immediately
breaks the circuit, as the metal knobs
are thrown out of contact with each
other.
Should the burglar notice the wires
and cut one or several thereof, the
breaking Of the circuit would also
start the alarm. Any other attempt to
destroy the protecting curtain would
also be noticed, Any curtain. unless
made of fire proof material, would also
act as a fire alarm. The alarm Itself
may consist Of series OF bells, lights.
OF other electrical appliances. This
Invention can be used to protect
doors. windows, safes, etc, and ma
turally the curtains, forming the most
conspicuous part of the device, can be
designed and arranged to suit indiyi-
dual taste.
With a few of Ogden's windows
decorated with those burglar alarms,
the thug would take no chances on the
town, but would go on to Salt Lake
whern the residents might be less up.

WHERE AN ACTOR is
A ROGUE.

The Washington Post points out a
few peculiarities of English law. In
England the statute books are filed
with obsolete and obsolescent laws,
so loath arc the legislators TO amend
or repeal. Indirect substitution is re-
lied upon instead OF direct replace
ment, and common consent" Is the
chief operative factor in the gradual
evolution of new system. What has
been must remain In force, without
change because, according TO the Brit
ish notion, 1t is dangerous to tamper
with traditions and engage ia statu-
tory housekeeping lest the spirit OF
innovation nay carry the nation too
dangerously fer aleld toward radi-
calism.
An instructive instance Of the musty
condition of the British statutes has
just been brought to hand in the plea
OF an actor. who, summoned for jury
Quly III l<OuQOn, CidiuiSQ
on the ground that he was unfit to
eerve, an old act OF Parliament, never
repealed, having defined an actor as
4 "rogue and vagabond." The court
sustained the plea and excused the
talesman, thus calling the attention
Of the world to the fact that in the
eye OF the law Of England dramatic
performer Is to be classed with the
beggars and tramps. Yet Queen Vic
toria chose to bestow the honor OF
kn!ghthood upon an actor. one Henry
Irving by name. while her son, the
rcigning King Of England, has in the
same manner conferred a title upon
another rogue and vagabond." John
Hare Nor is 1t in any degree likely
that this striking inconsistency will
sufficiently impress the British law
makers to induce them to repeal the
ancient statute. 1t ie hopeless to ex-
pect that the humor of the situation
will work a reform-in England.
