weeks ago. The first effect it had was
to give me better appetite than l have
had for ten years. Then my food be-
gan to digest and no longer distressed
me for hours after eating. At the end
of the third week I noticed that l was
not suffering as much from rheuma-
tism, and each day the pain and stiff
ness grew less until no longer had any
rheumatism. For the past week L feel
as though 1 had been made over en-

indigestion whatever.
MY two nieces and my sister have
had stomach trouble. When they saw
what the medicine was doing for me
they all tried it. 1t has helped them

TOURNAMENT AT CORONADO

Sutton Girls of Pasadena and Coasts
Leading Racquet ManipuIators
Will Participate in Great
Athletic Event

Recent entries for the tennis tourna-
ment of the Coronado Country club
February 1922 indicate that the event
will be one of the highest class con-
tests ever held on this coast. The four
most celebrated wielders of the racket
on this coast definitely have announced
their intention Of going to Coronado
for the tournament and have written
to engage accommodations at the Cor
onado hotel.
Secretary Paul H. Schmidt of the
Coronado Country club was in Los An
geles yesterday making arrangements
with the local members of the tourna-
ment committee, and he announced
that Melville Long, who ranks first on
the coast; Maurice Mclaughlin, who
RANKS second, and Carl Gardner, who
ranks third, have entered the tourna-
ment. These three crack players are
all from San Francisco.
Tom Bundy, the local champion, who
ranks fourth on the coast, also is en-
tered.
Should Long and Mclaughlin come
together in the singles, which is likely,
there will be one of the finest games of
tennis ever held on the Pacific coast.
Mclaughlin is showing excellent form
and many believe he is a better player
than Long.
Entries for the tournament will close
Monday, February Is. The following
players have signified their intention of
entering the contest: Los Angeles

YOUTH SUDDENLY DIES
OF THROAT TROUBLE
Son of Former Sheriff Cline Chokes
on Street and Expires Before
Physician Can Be
Brought

Joseph Banning Cline, % years old,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. John c. Cline Of
95S South Bonnie Brae street, collapsed
near the corner of Third and Spring
streets yesterday morning and died
within a few minutes in the Beacon
shoe store, 313 South Spring street,
whittier he was taken until a physi-
clan could be summoned. Death was
due to sudden swelling of the throat.
Young Cline was in his usual health
Sunday night. He went to bed early
and arose yesterday morning complain
ing of a sore throat. 1t panied him to
such an extent that he did not eat
breakfast.
Shortly after o'clock, in company
with his father, he boarded a car for
town to visit the office of DR.. Fleming,
who had been treating him. They
alighted at Third and Spring streets.
Just as the young man stepped on the
curb he threw both hands to his throat
and told his father to assist him, as
he was choking. The elder Cline asked
passerby to help him, and together
they took the stricken man to the
shoe store. The father then ran to the
office of DR. Fleming in the building
just around the corner, but when he
returned with the physician three min
utes later the young man was dead.
Banning, as he was known to his
friends, was a student at Berkeley.
He was unable to continue his studies
because of the malady which caused
his death, and came home for treat
ment.
He had suffered from a severe af-
Fiction of both eyes, and when his eye
sight began to improve he became
troubled with a throat affection.
He was well known throughout the
state, and had many friends in Berke-
ley and this city. His father formerly
was sheriff Of Los Angeles county.

VICTIM OF RARE MALADY
Former Nurse Taken to Receiving
Hospital, Being Sufferer from
Raynaud's Disease

Mrs. Catherine Hyde. formerly a
nurse, living at the Exmeer hotel, was
found on the street in a hystericaI con-
dition and taken to the receiving hos
pital. An examination by the police
surgeons revealed that the woman was
suffering from a nervous malady which
causes a deadening of certain nerves,
resulting in numbness and discOlora-
ton of the parts affected.
The tips of several of her fingers
are white and have the appearance OF
being bleached. The disease is known
as Reynaud's disease and is the first
of it's find to be detected at the receiV-
ing hospital.
In a certain sense, according to medi-
cal authorities, the malady resembles
Ieprosy, in that the parts affected be-
come dead and the fish drops away.
The woman will be placed under OBJ
servation, so that the progress of the
disease may be noted.

Long haired men and short haired
women, with bulging pockets, or car
rying mysterious packages, were seen
early yesterday morning stealthily
making their way in the direction of
Eighth and Hill streets. Timid resi-
dents Of the neighborhood, fearing an
uprising, notified the police department
and "plain clothes" men We're at once
rushed to the scene. In a short time
the detectives returned to the station
and reported that the weird looking in
dividuals who had caused such grave
apprehensions were merely poets who
had answered an advertisement in a
local newspaper calling for compost
tions in verse which could be set to
music.
Miss Madeline Daley, S45 Hill street,
who inserted the advertisement that
brought to her door hordes of local
freaks, was in a state of fatigue when
seen last night at her apartments. 'I
am professional musician" said Miss
Daley, land 1 sell completed songs to

so it is my custom to purchase catchy
jingles from various sources. But this
is terrible. I never knew that there
were so many queer people until I
tried this advertising, and now am
frightened silly
According to the accounts of Miss
Daley, Los Angeles is the Mecca of
all of the near poets in the world.
Bulky manuscripts of countless pages
were submitted by aspiring authors,
who insisted upon reading their produc-
tionS aloud. F'Leave your offerings

no effect in silencing the inspired ones,
and they one and all refused to trust

One man staggered in, bearing a cylin-

thirty pounds and remarked that he
had "some good material"
For what, an encyclopedia? asked
Miss Daley. mo, for a song" Kissed
the outraged author. He was told
that all of the Morse Sagas had not
taken up as much space as his little
song, and he then departed in a rage.
Another raised a fearful scene when
he was refused permission to read
aloud a little manuscript of fifty-seven
pages.

The moon was gayly cleaning when I kissed

The golden sun glowing in the west
No one will ever know how much 1 missed
How 1 carried her dear picture in my vest
But no matter what I do

To the flag Of the red, white and blue.

other was an anti-race suicide epic in
which "do what Teddy bids, was made
to rhyme with "a lot of kids"
One heart wall, which bore the ear
marks of sincerity, read:

Yesterday Miss Daley wanted some
poets; now she wants a big vicious
bulldog to keep the poets away.
