Pure Water as
Essential to Health
As Pure Food
That Is Why Puritas Distilled
Water Is So Widely Used for
Drinking Purposes in Los
Angeles.

If you asked the average house.
keeper why she is so careful to serve
nothing but pure, wholesome food on
her table, she would look at you in
astonishment.
If you asked her about the drinking
water her family used-if it were pure
and healthful-she perhaps might not
be quite so sure of her ground.
Yet pure water is essential to health
just as essential as pure food. And
great care should be taken to ascertain
just what water IS reliable, so that a
constant supply may be always avail
able.
Puritas Distilled Water is the only
reliably pure drinking water available
hereabouts. Natural water supplies in
this vicinity carry considerable amounts
of harmful minerals, for the most part
besides vegetable impurities.
These impurities areNharmful, when
taken into the system. Many illnesses
are water bOrne-and even the clearest
water may be most impure.
Puritas is uniformly pure and health
full. We distill it TWICE. We aerate
it with pure ozone. We bottle it so
carefully that it reaches you with all
it's wholesome purity intact.
Yet Puritas is inexpensive-5 gallons
cost but 40c. If you are not now using
it, order a demijohn tomorrow. Try it

sunny landscapes and many small
sketches, pleasant bits of color, crisp
and fresh.
The keramic work shown was mostly
in scenic and naturalistic flower treat
ment, in which were many and eX-
q1isite tones of color, wonderful depth
and atmospheric qualities being ex-
pressed in several pictorial vases. Some
of the most interesting pieces were
those made by Mr. Bischoff himself,
with under glaze decoration, and few
pieces in Spanish luster and one with

Mrs. Henry VOlk, who will give in

Chicago, and has been working here
for more than year, having executed

designed and executed the fixtures and
hardware in her own home, made most
attractive by her work A number of
pieces in brass and copper were ex-

he can do the dealer no harm, for he
has no heart to lead to his partner, and
whatever else he leads the dealer can
win the trick and make the remaining
clubs, which, together with his certain
tricks, make nine.
On the other hand, had the dealer
played the ace of hearts to the first
trick and then lead the club as soon as
fourth hand won with his king he
would have lead a heart, with the re-
suit that the leader would have made
tive heart tricks instead Of two, when
the ace was held up.
In the next article the dealers play
will be discussed more fully.
The following problem, which fire.
quently occurs at the end of the game,
is apparently very simple, yet it is
often enormously played:
The leader holds diamonds 10, s, 6 and
dummy holds 9, Z, 5. All the other dia-
monds have been played, and each
knows what the other holds. What
card should the leader play?

Following this at the same gallery
will be an exhibition of water colors
by Norman st. Clair, after which will
come a showing of recent oils by Mrs

work in the medium of water color.

Long Beach.
Stanley Josling, miniature painter, has
arrived from his home in Paris and will
be here for some time executing a,
number of commissions, among them
being four portraits for Madam Han
cock and others of social prominence.
The exquisite work rendered by this
painter, exhibited here some months
ago, embracing portraits of we'll known
society people of Los Angeles and other
miniatures, will be remembered with
much pleasure, and those considering
such work are most fortunate in again
having this opportunity.
During an absence of less than
year, Mr.. Joslyn has painted portraits
of Lady Northcliff and several prom
inent personages in London, besides
number in Paris, returning to Los An
geleS for the commissions mentioned
above This artist has the honor to
have painted miniatures Off the aristOc-
racy in France, one of them being LIE
Countesse D'A, in costume of $780,
which was exhibited at the Royal
academy, London, 1906. Other charm
ing examples of his work are '"The
Kiss" and Young Girl" copies of
miniatures in the celebrated Wallace
collection, London; several for Mrs.
Hendrie Of Canada, one of herself when
a girl, together with one of her daugh-
ter at the same age, beautifully sur
rounded with PEARLS and portraits of
Mrs. Rand of Los Angeles and a group
of her three children framed to form a
pendant and set around with diamonds.
The work is charmingly executed. Mr.
Joslyn is at Hotel Lankershim, where
he may be met by appointment. He is
to remain for several weeks only.

Stomach Gases
and Torpid LiverS
Give Way Before the Peculiar Puri-
flying Power of Stuart'S
Charcoal LOzengeS
Trial Package Sent Free

The foul gases of the stomach and
the torpid action of the liver are easy
victims for charcoal to overcome
This great natural cleaner and alb
sorbent will most certainly be relished
by a system afflicted with gaseous or
sluggish tendencies.
Charcoal has long been known as a
great absorbent of gas. A painful of
charcoal will positively purify a room
filled with foul odors and decay. It's
absorbing ratio is one hundred times
greater than its own volume.
The ancients gave charcoal for
many human ills successfully. The
North American Indians used it for
snake bite, poison from eating wild
herbs and cured what they called
stomach bad medicine" with it.
Willow charcoal seems to be the best
product for human use, and no doubt
the peculiar curative property of the
willow is represented in a chemical
quality in its charcoal.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are pure
willow and sweet honey blended by
tremendous power and compression
three lozenges Neaten after meals will
prevent the process of digestion from
producing noXiOus gases. They will
vivify lazy liver and aid every organ
which is most likely to be overcome
through its contact with impurities.
They cleanse the stomach and intes-
tines, bring purity and sweetness out
of fermentation and decay and aid di-
gestion by allaying gas. They will aid
you and your stomach. The beneficial
effects are made evident after each
meal when you use charcoal as Stuart
prepares it. To allay gas at night they
are excellent and one arises in the
morning without that terrible nauseat-
ing bad breath which destroys appetite
and renders one miserable
All druggists sell Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges, price twenty-five cents, or

PRETTY NURSE
HELD FOR THEFT
81 DON'T KNOW WHY | TOOK
IT." HER EXPLANATION
ROBBED WHILE GUEST AT HOUSE
is CHARGE
Miss Pearl Mooney, Well Dressed and
Refined, Arrested for Stealing
Money-ls Caught by
Marked Bills

Charged with burglary, Miss Pearl
Mooney, a pretty young woman, we'll
dressed and having the appearance Of
refinement, was arrested in her apart
ments at 2O1S South Figueroa street
yesterday afternoon and locked up in
the matron's department of the city
jail.
Miss Mooney came to Los Angeles
from Minneapolis four weeks ago. She
engaged apartments on South Figueroa
street and soon became acquainted
with several other dodgers. She was
an interesting talker and quickly
formed circle of friends.
Shortly after her arrival E. ]. Kin
ney, who occupied apartments at the
house, began to miss money from his
room. Thefts of small amounts con-
tinued until he had lost $100. Then
he complained to the police.
Officers were detailed on the case
and after an investigation suspicion
rested on the young woman. They
laid a trap for her by placing two
marked $5 bills on the dresser. When
Kinney appeared at his room later the
money was gone.
The arrest of the woman followed
and the police say the marked money
was found in her possession. They
say she did not deny taking the money,
but said it is the first time she has
been guilty of stealing.
She did not seem to worry about her
predicament, but smiled at the officers
as the Jail door changed shut.
"DIdn't Need Money"
CT do not know what prompted me
to take the money" said Miss Mooney
in the matron's department of the city
iaiI yesterday afternoon. "I absolute
ly had no need Of it, for I had about
$40 in my purse. I came home from
my dreSsmaker'S and in passing down
the hall to my room saw the door of
Mr.. Kinney's room was open. Some
irresistible force impelled me to enter
the room and open the top drawer Of
the dresser. I took two bills and hur-
ried out, leaving a wet trail from my
damp skirts on the hardwood floor.
= 81 went to my room, changed my
clothes preparatory to going to lunch,
when I was arrested. The theft was
no doubt traced to me, because the
people in the house had seen me enter
and had followed the trail Of my damp
skirts down the hall, in and out Of
Mr. Kinney's room and to my own
room.
"I have never done anything like
this before and cannot understand why
I took the money. I had completely
forgotten all about taking the bills as
soon as l placed them in my purse"
Miss Mooney is 26 years old and an
undergraduate nurse, having served
two years in a Chicago hospital. She
says she is interested in psychology,
but says she has never made a study
of it.
Her home is in Minneapolis and she
came here to visit Mrs. Erickson,
daughter of L. J. Zimmerman, proprie-
tor Of the rooming house at 201S South
Figueroa street, whom, Miss Mooney
says, was a former schoolmate.
Mrs. Kinney, wife of the man whose
money was taken, is a sister of Mrs.
Erickson, whom Miss Mooney was
visiting.
1t is probable the charge against
Miss Mooney will be changed to petty
larceny. She has retained Attorney
Frank Allender to defend her.

GRAND JURY MAY
RENDER REPORT
OUTCOME OF MEETING NEXT
MONDAY UNCERTAIN
RADICAL CHANGES SAID TO HAVE
BEEN MADE
Most Important Session Held Friday.
Legislator Hurries from Sacra-
mento in Order to At
tend 1t

Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock is the
time set for the next meeting of the
grand jury. Whether or not a report
on the WoOlwine charges will be made
at that time is problematical, as it de-
pends on the stenographer in whose
hands the voluminous notes have been
placed for transcription.
When the report is handed to Judge
James it will bear little resemblance to
the document carried into the court
room by Secretary Gregory Wednes-
day and returned by him to the grand
jury room. Radical changes, it is in
timated, have been made for the pur-
pose of meeting the views of one or
other of the two factions in the grand
jury.
Perhaps the most important meeting
of the jury since the taking of testi-
mony ended was held Friday. So i'm
portant was it deemed that B. F.
Coggswell felt it incumbent on him to
leave his legislative duties at Sacra-
mento and hurried to Los Angeles to
take part in the deliberations. He ar
rived in time to attend the long after
noon session.

Strict Secrecy Observed

The utmost secrecy has been pre-
served by jurors. The vigilance they
have exercised to prevent anything be-
coming known was increased Friday,
when they sat about the long table in
their secret chamber and consulted in
low tones.
A visitor who wanted to see Judge
Wilbur Friday by mistake slightly
opened the door leading from the court
room to the Investigators chamber, be-
lieving it was the judges private office
He quickly closed the door. but had
hardly done so when Mr.. Bliss, one of
the jurors, rushed from the jury room
and entered the court room. The mis-
take was explained to him.
There are listeners around here"
said Mr.. Bliss.
