WORKER EXPIRES
MRS. E. A. RANSOM DIES FULL
OF YEARS AND HONOR
WAS NOTED ARMY NURSE DUR
ING THE CIVIL WAR
PhiIanthropist After Whom Home for
FriendIess Women Was Named
Never Recovered from Re-
cent Fall

Mrs. e. c. Ransom, SO years old,
nurse in the Civil War, after whom the
Ransom home for friendless women in
Los Angeles was named, died early
yesterday morning at the Angelus hos
pital. She had been i'll since March Z,
when she accidentally fell and injured
her hip.
Mrs. Ransom, who was lovingly
friends as Mother" and "Aunty" Ran
som, had long been famous for her
charitable work, both i'll the east and
in Los Angeles.
She was one of the first recognized
regular women army nurses employed
in the Civil War, and during those
stormy times visited the army hospitals
and fields of battle, tending the wound
ed, sick and dying. For her valiant
services she was pensioned.
Mrs Ransom was greatly interested
in several homes for friendlesS women
in Richmond, Ind, and on coming to
Los Angeles, about twenty-siX years
ago, continued her interest in local
works She started the First Methodist
mission among the Chinese of Los An
geles about twenty-five years ago. This
mission, however, was broken up
through the anti-Chinese riots, which
occurred soon after its establishment.
Since coming 10 LOS Angeles MIS-
Ransom had been a prominent worker
in the First Methodist church, of which
she was a member at the time of her
death. During the early struggles of
the home for friendless girls and wo-
men in Los Angeles, Mrs. Ransom gave
| her experience, interest and many of
| her worldly possessions to its support.
She always maintained a deep inter-
est in its welfare, and in that of the
girls and women who entered it. The
Home Missionary society was another
| charity which in former years received
much of her attention.
| For about three years Mrs. Ransom
| had resided with Mrs. Mary MarcouX,
| 1929 Wall street. On the morning of
March 7, while endeavoring to leave
| her bed, Mrs. Ransom slipped and fell,
injuring her hip. She was removed to
the Angelus hospital and was cared
for by DR.. Goechenauer, but two days
| later went into a comatose state from
which she never rallied, passing away
yesterday morning. Until her last ILL
ness she retained her faculties and
seemed we'll and strong for person of
her age.
The body is at the undertaking estab-
lishment of Bresee Bros. A grandson,
Walter Dennison of San Francisco, is
expected to arrive today and arrange
ments for the funeral then will be COM
pleted

Watching a Stomach
Digest Food
Was the Means Whereby Science Made
Possible the Cure of Dyspepsia

The Able Spallanzani was the first
scientist to study systematically the
chemical powers of the gastric juice,
but it was by the careful and convinc-
ing experiments Of Beaumont that the
foundation of our exact knowledge of
its composition and action was laid.
Beaumont was an army surgeon, To-
Gated at an obscure military post in
Michigan, while it was yet territory,
and was called upon to treat gun
shot wound of the stomach in a Ca
madam oyageur-AleXis st. Martin.
When the wound healed permanent
opening was left by means of which
food could be placed in the stomach
and gastric juice taken from it,
Beaumont made scientific expert
ments with his crude means and
wrote a book, which today is recog-
nized among the classics of physiology
Beaumont blazed the way for other
scientists, so that today medicine
knows what the stomach does with
food and what food does to the stom-
ach.
Science also knows what the gastric
juices are and how TO make them best
for the system.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, thanks
to the poor army surgeon and Alexis
st. Martin, give man a means of di-
costing food, replenishing the exhaust
ed juices, soothing the nerves and cor
recting dyspeptic conditions of the
stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are nat.
ural fruit and vegetable essences re-
duced in concentrated form and by
tremendous power compressed into a
tablet. These wonderful little digestors
are known all over America and Can
ada. Full meals have been digested
by them in glass tubes and they are
sold by every druggist.
Physicians to the number of 10000
use them. They are meritorious and
powerful. Go to your druggist and

FIRST PUBLIC EXHIBIT
Chief Electrician of New York Conn
pany Explains System to Members
of Engineers and Architects
Association

Members of the Engineers and Archi-
tects' association of Los Angeles VINO
attended the annual banquet at the
Hollenbeck hotel last night were SO
fortunate as to witness the first prac-
tical demonstration of wireless tele-
phony ever given in Los Angeles.
The demonstration was given by Will
liam Dubillier, chief electrician Ior the
A. E. Collins wireless telephone COM
pany of New York, who arrived IN Los
Angeles Monday for the purpose or
making arrangements for the lnstalla-
ton of a subsidiary wireless telephone
station to control the wireless telephone
system west of the Mississippi.
Previous to the demonstration -1r.
Dubilier gave an interesting lecture
in which he showed that wireless tele-
phony is no longer vague theory, put
practical. and that it is but matter
of a few years before 1t VIII become
a commercial necessity.
He cited the fact that already there
are $4,000 telephones in use in New
York city, with the number constantly
increasing, and that soon it will De
impossible to transact business over
the wire telephones, so badly mixed
and crossed will they become, owing to
their number.
stated, this would be obviated, as
the strong and salient feature of wire
less telephony, feature yet to be made
practical in wireless telegraphy, is the
secrecy that can be maintained, since
wireless phone messages never can be
intercepted and will only reach the
party for whom they are intended.
Wireless telephony has been CiscoV-
cred at an opportune time, and in q
few short years its use would become
imperative in all the great metropoli-
tan centerS.
Guests Test the System
After his lecture Mr.. Dubilier al
lowed the members of the association
TO use the wireless system. which
worked perfectly
Telephones had been placed in the
banquet room of the hotel and in adj
joining rooms, and it was possible to
converse as simply and easily as with
wire telephones.
Great applause greeted the statement
mad. by Mr.. Dubilier that Los Angeles
was to have the honor of having the
first public demonstration of wireless
telephony ever given in the world, and
that within the next three weeks.
Previous to the demonstration Prof.
H. La Verne Twining of Polytechnic
high school gave an interesting talk
and demonstration on the rapid adj
vancement of wireless te1egraphy. He
showed by the use of apparatus the
manner in which wireless messages
are sent and received.
At the close the members of the as
ISOLATION gave Mr.. Dubilier and Prof.
Twining a rising vote of thanks for
what they termed the most interesting
I'd educational treat they ever had
been offered at any similar gathering.
