Taste Is Sure
Stomach Guide
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 stom-
ach itself, so that they represent its
health or disorder. If the stomach or
its juices are out of tone the blood is
fermented by a change in the alkaline
or acid condition, and these reach the
mouth both directly and Indirectly.
The taste buds are in the tongue.
ana are mounted by hairlike projec-
tions 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 sim
ply explain why when one smells
can eat, but when lie tastes he learns
the stomach is out of business.

BANK CARTS AWAY
FIXTURES AT NIGHT
Officials of Union National Move
in Face OF Many Legal
Documents
Edison F. Adams Retires From
Institution and Tries to
Tie Up Property

OAKLAND. Jan. 23-Like Samson
OF old, who carried off the gates of
the city of GAIA while the inhabitants
slept. officials of the Union national
bank carried off even the doors to the
vaults in the building at the southwest
corner of Twelfth street and Broadway
during the darkness. The ancient San.-
son worked unheeded and unmoIested
the modern Samsons personally braved
the wrath of Edison F. Adams, reputed
owner of the building and the fixtures,
and ignored formidable legal docu-
ments which he served.
The occasion was the removal he
tween the hours of 10 o'clock last night
and o'clock this morning of the entire
business which for % years has been
carried on at the old location. Today
the bank threw open its doors at 1114
broadway, on the eastern side of the
street
ADAMS APPEARS ON SCENE
While the transfer was going on and
MIXTURES. books, records, money boxes
and sacks and roller top desks were
carried IN a long procession across the
street, Adams appeared on the scene.
He was accompanied by an attorney.
Adams promptly claimed all the fix
lures, as he had claimed the building.
His notices were ignored
Inc removal gave a new angle to a
complication which is already unique
In Oakland banking history. Having
severed his connection with the bank
which he described as Inactive
Adams filed an ejectment suit against
the institution when, as he said, the
lease had expired. At the same time
he filed for record deeds vesting the
bank corner absolutely in the estate
OF his mother, Hannah Jones Adams,
and ended an option which he said the
bank officials had held for 16 years for
the purchase of the property. Now
Adams claims the fixtures as we'll as
the building.
George Roeth. president OF the Union
national bank, holds that the property
was paid for with the banks money,
and he intlmated that an action to COM
pei restitution would be commenced. A
desire TO avoid further litigation has
been expressed by Attorney r. M
Fitzgerald. who represented the bank,
but Adams most recent attack upon
the institution with which he was so
long identified will probably lead to
continued battle in the courts.
The new location in the Jurgens
block has been leased by the Southern
Pacific company and the bank is a
subtenant. Roeth today announced his
intention of furnishing the bank with
commodious modern quarters at an ex-
pense of 100000.
