Aerated
With Pure
Ozone
That is why Puritas Distilled Water Is So
Sparkling and Palatable. Tho Process
Of Aeration Exceedingly
Interesting

Puritas Distilled Water is aerated
with pure ozone. For years 1t was
aerated with carefully purified air.
Now pure ozone-really condensed
oxygen-is forced into it. The result
is an ideal drinking water.
The aeration of Puritas is the result
of long scientific experiment, finally
brought to a PRACTICAL success.
The air from which the ozone Is Sc
cured is purified again and again be-
fore being utilized.
Then a current of electricity, gem
Grated by an electric machine, is passed
through the purified air, turning 1t
into ozone. No bacterial life can exist
in ozone-it is absolutely pure.
The ozone is then forced into the
pure, doubly distilled water-just as
much as the water will take up.
Puritas is very carefully bottled so
that it will reach you with all its
wholesome purity intact.
When you buy Puritas you get pure
water, thoroughly aerated, carefully
bottled-the purest, most wholesome
and healthful drinking water obtain
able in California.
Yet Puritas is inexpensive-five gall

LAST MEETINGS SHOW
INTENSE ENTHUSIASM
RECALL SPEAKERS CHEERED
TO THE ECHO
Alexander Talks straight-WaIter
Parker as Manipulation for Rev.
enue Only Analysed by
Marshall Stlmson

The closing meetings of the recall
campaign last night demonstrated the
enthusiasm and the constantly grow
ing interest in the election of Alexan-
der by large majority. Meetings were
held at Conaty hall on Downey ave.
nue., Odd Fellows hall on West JEFF
ferson street and Hokom hall on
Moneta avenue.
The latter meeting was packed full
of interested recall supporters, and
every opportunity to get standing room
on the edge was utilized, while $50
persons were outside on the sidewalk,
unable to get In, but listening eagerly.
The speakers, George Alexander.
Thomas Lee Woolwine and w. r.
Burke. were received enthusiastically.
At Odd Fellows hall, 1913 West JEFF
ferson street, there was like enthu-
siasm for George Alexander and the
recall. Lyman Farnell presided, and
strongly urged on voters a realization
of the fact that responsibility for the
successful fulfillment of the recall
campaign was placed on them and that
they must respond by electing Alexan-
der by an overwhelming vote.
Judge Cyrus F. McNutt made a
strong appeal for decency in municipal
government in Los Angeles.
Marshall Stimson discussed the is
sues f-the present fight. He analysed
in vigorous fashion Walter Parker's po-
sition as the manipulation of the Demo-
cratic Republican for-revenue-only ma
chine. The late mayors statement in
q newspaper interview that Parker
had not told him the name of the man
ne had picked as his successor" was
referred to as showing conclusively
that Parker dominated the city admin
istration. George Alexander was
cheered heartily, and Judge Bordwell's
decision was warmly commended.
At Conaty hall the lights unfortun-
ately gave out, but the meeting was
carried on with the aid of candles, and
the enthusiasm for the recall was not
in the least dimmed. George Alexan-
der, Lorin A. Handley and Frank s.
Forbes spoke on recall issues, and the
same sentiment for the movement that
had been evinced at the other meet
ings was shown here.

RECALL FORCES
ATTORNEY SAYS THE MACHINE
MUST BE BEATEN
Madison Marine Believes There viii
Be Grand Response on Elec-
ton Day-Lessons OF
the Fight

"Citizens must turn out in force and
vote for Alexander Friday. for it is of
the greatest Importance that we teach
the political machine that there must
be no tampering with the recall law
in our city charter hereafter" said
Madison Marine, an attorney, who has
been closely following recent attempts
to nullify the recall. 1T seems certain
that there will be q grand response
election day to the efforts of the cam
paign management. If so 1t will be a
response that will ring in a new era
In American municipal affairs.
"The most healthy thing about the
whole political upheaval in the city is
that the revolt against the ex-mayor
was largely in his own party, by the
decent people therein backed up by the
decent people all over the city, ir-
respective of politics. The political
party must be divorced from munich
pal affairs-the vitality of the country
demands 1t. 1t has been weighed too
long in the balance and found wanting
Let us no longer say, Now is the time
for all good men to come to the aid OF
their party but rather, Now is the
time for all loyal, good and true citi-
zens to rally to the aid of their city,
''If this campaign only accompliShes
the enforcement of the citizen from the
political party and marries him to the
city where he alone belongs, 1t Will
be an epoch making period not only
in our own city, but in our nation, and
will hundredfold more than repay for
all the expense and work of this great
fight. And we believe that it will ac-
complish this and more. The workers
in this great movement have built
better than they have realized. What
a magnificent opportunity has been
given to the citizens of this city, to
place municipal affairs out Of the mire
business and moral plane, and If we
mistake not, the citizens of this beau
tiful city will not fail to avail them
selves of this great opportunity Let
us faint not in well doing, for in due
season we shall reap if we faint not
"The political party has divided the
Los Angeles herald., 1909-03-25

vote of the decent business men, and
has placed the balance of power in the
hands of political grafters and the ele-
ments which stand for evil in the COM
munity. The only logical and
patriotic division is one where the
clean and decent people are lined up
for a business administration against
the ignorant and the corruptionist in
whatever form they may exist who are
in for what they can get out of 1t,
and not for what they can give it. Any
other alignment or alliance of the
voters is prejudicial in the extreme to
the good of the community.
1.-THE Herald is entitled to the graft
tude of every good citizen for the
magnificent fight 1t has made for good
and clean municipal government. 1t
has helped to make an epoch in the
government not only of Los Angeles,
but of all American cities.
1.-THE government of American cities
has been and is now in many places
disgrace to the people thereof. The old
idea of government of municipalities
by political parties has proved an alb
solute failure. If proof is needed, let
one read the history of Tweed in New
York. of Schmitz in San Francisco, of
Ames In Minneapolis and in fact of
any great American city during the
last fifty years, and he will find con-
6itions there which are intolerable and
criminal.
Ambassador Bryce, who is one of
the deepest students of American
political affairs, in speaking of these
matters in his great book--the great
est ever written on American political
institutions-says: "A hundred times in
writing this book have 1 been dis
heartened by the facts was stating;
a hundred times has the recollection
of the Astounding strength and vitality
of the nation chased away these
tremors.' We are passing through one
of these great periods in our city when
it's Astounding moral strength and
vitality is asserting itself, and may it
impress upon our whole nation for all
time the uselessness and worthlessness
of political parties in municipal gov
eminent"

Prohibitionlsts Divided

Prohibitionists are making a cam

the nominee put UP by six members
of the Prohibition clubs. They say
that prohibition is not the issue; that
the recall is involved as the only prin-

consequence the choice must lie be-

Richard earle, who will appear to-
night at the Mason opera house, is one
of the unique persons of the American
stage. He is author, composer, lyric
writer, stage manager, dancing IN
structor, star comedian and producer.
He not only writes his own plays, but
he provides much Of the music, ar
ranges the dances, prepares the
sketches for the scenery, produces ana
manages his plays, thereby drawing
salary as star, drawing royalties from
his songs and participating in the net
profits as manager.
Mr.. earle is still on the sunny side
of forty. He was born in Somerville,
Mass, suburb of Boston. He was
christened Charles N. Carleton; ,, ms
father, Edgar w. Carleton, still lives
in Somerville. According to the
father, everything indicated a stage
career for the son from earliest youth.
When he was still in his kits young
Carleton strung a wire screen across
an unused wagon loft, mounted some
old chintz curtains and gave shows IN
which he furnished the whole enter
tainment The admission fee was ten
nails and the receipts were cashed at
junk dealers.
When he was Is or 16 young Carleton
fed his stage fever with frequent put
furtive trips to the old Howard
athanaeum in Boston. There, IN eX-
change for admission, he passed out
programs-a tall, gawky boy with light
hair spectacles and an imitation FUR
cap, with the accompanying ear mufff
tied together atop. He had keen eye
for Someryille faces, and when he saw
neighbor coming he introduced the
novelty of passing out programs be-

"G~raustark," dramatized from the
novel of Geo. Barr McCutcheon, will
be presented at the Jefferson Theater
next Tuesday night.
This attraction comes to us with
the same cast of players that made
the play such a decided success in
New York and Chicago. There is a
distinct literary flavor to the play,
for it is well written, is true to the
laws of dramatic structure and has a
continuous and well developed plot,
with characters that are human. Geo.

stage purposes. has followed the text
closely and built a play hat is reals
tic and interesting from the moment
the curtain rises on the two Ameri-
cans at the Continental Hotel until it
falls on the two lovers seated on the
throne in each others arms.
The marked originality in the con-
struction of "Graustark" is it's chief
charm; new methods are employed in
building the situations, and the dia-
logue bristles with bright lines and
witty repartee. The play is exquisite
