REUNIONS IN
SEATTLE TRIP
ARE ALLURING
TEACHERS ANXIOUS TO MEET
OLD SCHOOLMATES
YUKON EXPOSITION WILL BRING
THOUSANDS TOGETHER
Educational Value of Great Show
Stimulates Workers for Votes to
Get Out Full BaIIoting for
FaVorites

One of the factors that interest
teachers in The Herald's Seattle trip
is that in midsummer the teachers Of
the United States as an organization
will convene at the exposition city.
Thousands will attend from the remot-
est points, and there will be no end
o. reunions of alumnae and former
schoolmates.
This is proving a magnet which at
tracts strongly, for these annual re-
unions of the educators revive old
school ties than which no stronger eX-
ist outside of the home and family.
These facts serve to stimulate friends
of all the contestants to work hard for
subscriptions and votes, knowing that
reward awaits the most diligent
Of Educational Value
The educational value of the exposi
ton will be great.
AS it's name implies, it was designed
to exploit resources of the United
States and Canada that were acquired
when these young countries stretched
their spheres of influence and pushed
their frontier lines to some of the few
remaining virgin fields of trade and
commerce.
If the visitor to the fair seeks infor-
nation regarding Alaska he can find
out everything there is to learn about
it by a few hours study in the Alaska
building.
Every feature of that great north
country will be exploited, from work.

millions in gold to the outer country
to the little flower that lifts it's head
to greet the midnight sun. From that
great part of Alaska that reaches into
the tempered zone of the Pacific cur
rents to the ice fields that lose them
selves in the barren wastes of the top
of the world will come men and ma

gold.

Hawaii, too, and the Philippines will
tell their stories. Their natives will
come to give demonstrations of their
handicraft.
Canada will exploit that part. of her
great empire that pushes between the
severed portions of the United States
on this continent
Warships lying at anchor in Seattle's
harbor will tell the story of the Pa

ment will have the entire Pacific fleet
here during the fair; Japan will send
her great war vessels, and Great Brit
ain, Germany, China, France, Russia
and other nations that have to do with
the commerce of the Pacific will have
their navies represented.
1t will be one of the greatest oppor-
tunities yet presented to the people of
the middle states to study the modern
navy.

CLUB WOMEN STIR
COUNCIL TO ACTION
Delegation of Nicely Gowned Mem.
bers appears in Behalf of Garbage
Legislation, and Results May
Be Expected

That the councilmen needed but the
whip of gallantry to stir their civic
pride was shown yesterday when the
civic improvement committee of the
Cosmos club appeared before that body
III the interests Of city cleanliness and
beauty.
Be it known that the civic improve
ment committee is composed of some of
the handsomest and best dressed Wom-
EN- of the Cosmos club, and whether it
was the rustling silks and satins and
the graceful ostrich plumes that awoke
such a fierce desire for garbage reform
in the council, or an awakened sense OF
duty neglected, none of the councilmen
would say.
The women of the Cosmos club ap-
peared to ask that when the new con-
tract for garbage is let, if it ever is,
the contractor be required to take the
garbage from the back doors and not
the front lawns, as it is now done.
Mrs. J. G. MacLean was the spokes-
man of the committee, and she pre-
sented the cause of the women of the
Cosmos club and of the city in general
in clear and concise terms. She made a
very telling point when she said:
"You spend large sums of money ad-
vertising Los Angeles in the east. You
invite easternerS to come here and they
come in hordes. And when they arrive
we show them a long line of garbage
cans on our front lawns"
The committee of the whole will meet
Monday morning at 10 o'clock to take
up the garbage matter. 1t is probable
some decision as to the specifications
under which bids will be asked for
will be adopted, and at the meeting of
the council later in the morning, which
will be held to approve the monthly
demands, the advertisement will be or
dered.

HEAVY RAIN FALLS;
STREETS ARE FLOODED

A third storm came in on the Cali
fornia coast yesterday and brought
rain in the vicinity of Los Angeles
early in the evening. Between o'clock
and midnight about half an inch of
rain fell in the city. The ground was
so soaked that the water ran off more
freely than heretofore and the cutters
and zanjas were soon running full. On
Hill and Broadway enough water came
down from the hilly streets to make
crossing difficult.
Los Angeles is catching the lower
end of the latest storm, and it may
bring continuance of unsettled
weather today with rain>at intervals.

TROUBLE ARISES OVER
CONDEMNATION OF LAND

Is the city attempting to condemn
property it already owns for the wild
ening of Los Angeles street from
Fourth to Winston? Some Of the prop
erty owners interested say it is, and
some say it is not. The matter will
probably have to be threshed out in
the courts before a definite decision is
given that will satisfy both sides. In
condemning land for the widening Of
this street a board of referees has de-
cided that property owners in the as
sessment district must pay for several
strips of land on one side of the street
that have been used as public high
ways. These have been so used be-
cause in erecting business buildings on
that side of the street some of them
have been set back five feet from the
original property line. And the five
feet that was really private property
has been used as a sidewalk.
The city attorney ruled yesterday
that the offer of the sidewalk consti-
tuted an offer of dedication for public
purposes, and the use by the public
of an acceptance of this dedication. The
matter was sent back to the board of
public works to determine the true
facts in the case.

SEEKS DAMAGES FOR
VACCINATION SORE
Girl Sues Physician for $4,000, Claim

wise Defendants Rejoinder
to Suit

Claiming that DR.. L. V. Dewitt was
negligent and careless when he vac
cinated her a year ago, Miss Ruth
Virgins, 10 years old, asked the supe-
ages of $4,000.
Miss Virgins barred her arm to the
shoulder to exhibit an ugly wound on
the under side of the arm. She said the
physician had himself selected the spot
as the place for the application of the
needle and vaccine.
DR.. Dewitt, however, testified that
Miss Virgins had not taken proper
care of the arm and had not followed
his instructions regarding treatment.
The case was submitted to Judge Os-

Taste Is Sure
Stomach Guide
A Barometer Which Never Fails.
Though Seldom Believed.

Taste is the direct guide to the
stomach; and the taste buds are con-
nected by the nerves with the stomach
itself, so that they represent its health
or disorder. If the stomach or it's
juices are out of tone the blood is fer
mented by change in the alkaline or
acid condition, and these reach the
mouth both directly and indirectly.
"The taste buds are in the tongue
and are mounted by hairlike proiec-
uons called papillae; they cover the
surface of the tongue.
when you taste these buds rise up
and absorb the liquid; inform the
nerves; the nerves tell the stomach.
and the food is acceptable or not, Just
as the stomach feels"
The above remarks on taste come
from an eminent authority and simply
explain why when one smells cooking
or sees food one thinks he can eat, but
when he tastes he learns the stomach
is out of business.

Alright, who relishes no food and SIM

When your taste for food is lost if is

Accents Bid

After having delayed action on the
bids for several weeks, the city coun-
Gil yesterday accepted the proposal of
the Mott Fire Engine company and
purchased fire engine for $6125. The
city service truck for which bids were
considered yesterday was not pur-
chased, because Chief Lipps objects to
taking the apparatus of the Robinson
company, which was the lowest bidder.
He declares the apparatus Of this COM

CITIZENS OBJECT TO NOISE
OF BASS-VOICED FROGS

The recent rains have again stirred
residents and property owners of Gar
vanza to wrath against the city for
the accumulation of storm water in a
hollow above Pasadena avenue, in
which bass-voiced frogs nightly hold
musical tournaments.
In order to afford some relief the
council yesterday instructed the board
of public works to develop some scheme
for temporarily taking care of this
storm water until the injunction suit
can be settled. While letting the wa
ter down on the Metz tEact to damage
of property in that district appears a
little unjust, the city attorney declares
the city has a perfect right to do so,
as this tract is in the way of a
natural water course.
