-two-thirds of the upper house declared

an alleged defect in the bill, which is

The bill, after providing for the ap-

cludes as follows:
Section 19-This act shall take effect
Immediately. and the laws heretofore
enacted and existing prior to this act

late the practice of dentistry in the

fiict with this act are repealed.
1t is said that the attempt in the
bill to save section Of the present
law is not sufficient. The senate may
amend the bill so as to remove any
doubt of its legality.

kLITTLE LABOR LEAFLETS
w BY WE.MslERNON. NSS3

VIZ LILLIAN A. ENGLE, president or
w the Central Labor council IS one
of the best known and respected
members in the labor movement in Los
Angeles. AS the official head of the
governing body, in which position ne IS
serving a second term, he is frequently
called upon to act quickly in matters
of Importance to the workers, and his
excellent knowledge of labor conditions
and cool judgment have been of great
assistance to him and his followers,
who have confidence in his ability and
strict adherence to principle in all his
dealings. His familiarity with parlia-
mentary law has served him well in
guiding the deliberations of the coun-
ell along proper lines, and his decisions
are clear-cut and free from bias
Mr. Engle was born in Indiana, in
which state he first became identified
with the cause of labor for several
years editing a trade paper in Marion
He enlisted as a private in the Twelfth
regiment, United States infantry, and
served for three years, being stationed
at Fort Yates, Oak, and Leavenworth,

the true way, or way of Truth, and 1t
was in humble consciousness of this
that he said, "I am the way, the truth,
and the life'' 1.-THE words that l speak
unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life"
Jesus was not only the best man, and
the best Christian, but because of his
exact knowledge of Truth he was the
most scientific man" the world has
even known In his life Christianity
and Science were one. He proved his
Christianity by his scientific works OF
healing, his dominion over matter, In
perfect conformity to Gods spiritual
law. He stated clearly and emphatic
ally that his sole purpose in life was to
bear witness unto the truth" His
method of bearing witness was his idea
of how to be a Christian. He was the
ideal Christian and the ideal Scientist,
and therefore the ideal Christian Sci
enlist. 1t is the privilege and duty of
every one to follow in his footsteps, and
to adopt as their life purpose his Chris
tian and scientific way of bearing wit
ness unto the truth" In uplifting the
sinful, comforting the sorrowful, and
healing the sick, he proved that the
gospel is indeed glad tidings.
Mrs. Eddy Teaches Truth
The Christ-way of bearing witness
unto the truth is the way taught by
Christian Science by Mrs. Eddy, which
is a formulated statement of our Mas
ter's spiritual method of doing the
Christ works. 1t is therefore a guide
to practical Christianity Thousands
are healed from sin and sickness each
year, and tens of thousands find life
more abundantly," through the study
of this book. Moreover through the
study of the textbook the Bible is be-
ing enshrined in the hearts of the peo-
pie. Our beloved Leader became a
Christian Scientist through her love
for and study of the Bible, and her
own healing, and that which has come
to others through her teaching proves
that the Gospels contain the glad It'd
ings of the power of Truth to heal and
to save today. Yearning for Truth, she

New Oil Company Starts

The Kern Star Oil company a corporation
under the management of well known Los An
gees men, although largely financed in the
east has started to work on its holdings in
the northwest part of the Kern River oil field
The situation is just north of the property of
the Sapphire Oil company, c. A. Cantield's lat
est Kern river enterprise, and just southwest
of the property of the Edgar Oil company, on
which there is of the best wells in the
Kern river district. This section of the field
is considered thoroughly proved and although
the drilling may be little deeper than in some
other portions of the field, the expectation is
that a much higher grade of oil will be OBJ
tained. The Edgar well shows 16O feet of oil
sand and is not yet completed.
The Kern Star oil company plans the drill
ing of at least three wells before the end of
this year. The management of the company
includes men long identified with the oil and
mining industries, the names of the officers and
directors being as follows; George Greedy King,
president; Francis Smitheram, vice president
and general manager; f. w. Mattern treas

DR.. POWERS WILL BE
RETAINED IN OFFICE
DENIALS OF RUMoRS OF RE-
MoVAL ARE FREQUENT
Alleged Successor Refuses to Accept
Position on Board of Health
Which Is Lower Than One
He Now Has

Reiteration of denials of rumors that
DR.. L. NJ. Powers is to be removed a.
health officer have become hXed napit
with members of the board OF healtu
and Mayor Alexander, so 1t was ohiy
with a sigh of protest that they again
denied yesterday that DR.. Powers IS
to be removed and another appointed
as health officer.
The rumor is the same in each in
stance. 1t is stated DIR. Sherwin GID
hons is to be the man chosen to sue
ceed DR.. Powers. DR.. Gibbons and the
nayor denied this yesterday, as they
have done several times in the past.
In the first place, DIR. Gibbons IS a
member of the board of health. ana
from the activity he has shown in MS
position he has come to be called, joe
ularly, "boss OF the health depart
ment.'
AS a member of the board of health
he is superior to the health officer, ana
he does not propose to give up a high
position to accept lower one. He mas
stated and yesterday repeated in en-
phatic terms that he would not accept
the position of health officer under any
circumstances.
Another fact that makes DIR. Powers
position secure is that he was practi-
cally the court of last resort in the
matter of the mayors appointments to
the board of health. Before Mayor
Alexander announced the name of any
member of the board he first asked DR..
Powers if the men he had chosen were
satisfactory and if the health officer
felt he could work in harmony with
them.
Friends Of DR.. Powers said the story
printed yesterday morning in the Ex-
aminer was for the especial purpose OF
annoying Mayor Alexander and was in
keeping with the actions of that pro-
vice paper, which is trying by innu-
endo to undermine the mayors infiu-
ence and discredit his administration.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-05-09

found the Christ that heals from sick
ness as we'll as sin. Acknowledging no
master but Truth, no God but divine
Love, she has devoted her life to the
service of God and humanity. Thus
has she borne witness unto the truth"
in the Christway, way which is
adapted to the needs of all men and
all times. Revelation is always from
God, and comes to those (which do
hunger and thirst after Righteousness"
and are spiritually worthy and able to
receive it.
Glory of Healing Given to God
Christian Science gives all the glory
for its healing work to God. EVIL and
matter receive no recognition in 1t save
that of the Master, when he said, Get
thee behind me, Satan"
Gods blessing rests upon humanity
today, in that the ideal of manhood and
womanhood has been lifted up through
Christian Science, until the world is be-
ginning to catch a glimpse of God, and
man made in His image; the vision or
the final victory of good over the be-
lief in evil. The opened ears are hear
ing a voice from heaven, saying of
the Christ-idea, This is my beloved
Son, in whom 1 am we'll pleased"
Christian Science teaches the perfect
equality and unity of Gods children,
and in our Leader the prophecy has
again been fulfilled, "The Lord God
hath given me the tongue of the
learned, that l should know how to
speak a word in season to him that Is
weary" Multitudes of the weary have
heard this word, and all must and will
hear it in due season, for we have the
promise that the day cemeth when
"God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes; and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain;
for the former things are passed away"

Boy Run Down by Wagon

Tuesday night the 12yearo son
of Charles e. Honsberger, living at 94l
Towne avenue, WAS run down by a
sprinkling wagon driven by E. Mason
of 713 Charming street. The little fell
low was removed to the Emergency
hospital, where it was found he had
sustained a fracture of the left leg,
his right knee cap injured and right
leg frightfully lacerated. He is now
in a serious condition. The driver of
the wagon says he did not see the lad
until too late. A woman who wit
messed the accident called at the home
of Mr. Honsberger, but failed to leave
her name 1t is the desire of Mr..
Honsberger to find this woman and
hear her version of the affair.
