PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE TO
R00SEvELT'S CHARACTER
Partisan Newspaper ExtoIs Election
of Former President to Acad-
emy of Sciences in France

PARIS, Dec. 19.-The Temps, extol-
ling the election of Theodore Roosevelt
as a foreign associate of the Academy
of Moral and Political Sciences, pays
high tribute to Mr.. Roosevelt's politi-
cal and moral creed and his insistence
that neither individuals nor nations
have the right to shirk their duty.
The Temps concludes: Peace is
praiseworthy, but its desirability has
been unduly exaggerated, If inspired
by fear. Mr. Roosevelt recalls to our
age that war is an evil, but not the
greatest of evils Especially as the
messenger of national idealism he mer-
its the eminent distinction conferred on
him by the institution"

SOUTH AMERICAN IMPORTS
TO U. S. EXCEED RECORDS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-America in
ten months had used $64,000000 worth
of coffee, or S45, 900 pounds. Eight
ninths Of it came from South America
Coffee is only an indication of the
proportions which the trade between
the United States and South America
has assumed this year. All previous
records for South American importa-
ton will be passed, according to cal
culations Of the bureau of statistics.
The total value Of all imports will be
more than $3.50, 900, 000
In return our exports to South Amer
lea probably will equal, if they do not
exceed, the high mark in 1907, when
they touched $86,000,000,

Caught
Gold

How often it happens that seri-
Gus illness, and sometimes death,
is directly traceable to COM
mon cold. After it is too late
what would we not give to have
checked the cold at the start,
when it would have quickly
yielded to simple home treat
ment.
One of the most effective
remedies for coughs and colds is
made by mixing two ounces of
Glycerlne, a half ounce of Vir-
gin Oil Of Pine compound pure
and eight ounces of pure Whis-
ky. These can be bought in any
good drug store and easily
mixed In a large bottle. 1t is
claimed by the Leach Chemical
company OF Cincinnati, who
prepare the genuine Virgin Oil
of Pine compound pure, that
teaspoonful of this mixture four
times a day will break up a cold
in twenty-four hours, and cure
any cough that is durable.

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec 19.-What is
believed by the police to be evidence OF
terrible crime was found beneath the
Westlake trestle when the mutilated
body of Mrs. Dorothy Woodhead, a
waitress, was picked up there today.
The lower limbs were severed from the
trunk, which was otherwise mangled.
Little blood was found on the ties of
the trestle, which led the coroner to
order the arrest of two men seen with
Mrs. Woodhead last night in cafes.
The authorities assert the woman was
dead before her body was placed whore

T OS ANGELES HERALD broke all
IL records yesterday by issuing a
= newspaper of 236 pages, one of
the biggest editions of any daily news
paper ever published.
Aside from the ord-breaking size,
the Sunday edition was one of the
handsOmest and best papers ever pro-
duced in Los Angeles or in California.
Praise for the wonderful results at
tanned by The Herald flooded the office
yesterday Merchants, manufacturers,
real estate brokers, doctors, lawyers,
and in fact all classes of citizens vol
unteered kind words for The Herald.
One of the distinctive features of the
issue was the lack Of paid writeups
so often found in big annual editions
of newspapers. Advertising was plain
ly advertising. Fulsome praise of in
dividuals was eliminated.
The pictorial magazine of 164 pages
was a work of art from cover to cover.
II was replete with clever stories, ex-
cellent information and exceptionally
clear cuts. The magazine section
would bring easily % cents If purchased
in a bookstall. Never before has such
a magazine been published by a daily
paper anywhere in the United States.
1t is something The Herald manage
ment feels justly proud in having pro-
duced, for 1t sets a new high mark for
competitors.
In the entire issue there were 3511b
columns, or 1883 inches, of advertising.
This amount also is a record, and will
long stand as a mark for which other
newspapers will strive.
Whole Field Covered
Every possible field of endeavor in
the southwest, ranging from selling
real estate to digging oil wells. was
completely covered in the great issue.
Sports. society, music, drama. art, lit
erature, i'm fact, everything which peo-
pie think about or do, was compre-
hensively represented for The Herald
readers.
The great issue is one of the biggest
advertisements California has ever
had. Thousands of copies of The Her
aid are being mailed all over the Unit
ed States, which means that Los An
geles will be given more publicity
through the columns of The Herald
than it has ever had at any half dozen
times before through any single me-
dium. The supply of Sundays Herald
will soon be exhausted. Those who
wish to send copies away would do
well to purchase the big number as
soon as possible.
The big issue shows just what The
Herald means to do for its readers
give them the biggest and best paper
in Los Angeles, carefully edited and
presented in neat and attractive dress
A few sentiments of approval from
some of the readers of The Herald are
chronicled as follows:

RESIDENCE SAVED
FROM DESTRUCTION
BY RAPID WORK

A blaze originating from an
overturned candle did consider
able damage to the parlor of Alex
ander Baillie's residence at South
First street and Tacoma avenue
last evening. The proximity of a
fire department and the quick
work of the firemen prevented
the entire destruction of the
house.
The family was seated in the
dining room when passerby saw
the blazing front window and rang
the doorbell vigorously. Respond
ing to the bell, it was found that
the front part of the house was
full of smoke and the parlor a
roaring furnace.
The fire department was noti-
fled. and prompt work done to
check the flames. The furniture
was badly scorched, rugs and cur
tains destroyed, and windows bro
ken in. Mr.. Baillie was out of
town today so that the value of
the loss could not be ascertained.

SEATTLE, Nov. 29.-An echo
of President Taft's visit to the
Alaska-Yukon exposition has just
caused some amusement to those
who appreciate the bland four
flushing abilities of the japanese.
During his trip the president
fingered genially over the exhib-
its in the japanese building, and
one beady-eyed oriental gave a
semi-official appearing testimo-
niel of international amity by
presenting him with piece of
l6rtistic green crockery big
enough to plant ginko tree in.
The story went about that the
vase was worth fully $4,000. This
generous act boosted the business
of the Japanese art dealers i'm

Treasury agents have been
looking into the matter and have
found that the vase was entered
at the customs office at a value
of exactly $3.50.
Since then residents and tour
lists have not been in frenzied

Mrs. Taylor to the wedding. This
was considered an insult.
Taylor and Futch met on the
street Thanksgiving day and
each began firing. Each emptied
his revolver, and when the smoke
cleared away both were lying on
the ground. At first it was
thought they might recover, but
