MINERAL MATTER
IN CITY WATER A
GREAT DETRIMENT
Puritas Devoid of All impurities
Both Mineral and
Vegetable

Hundreds of Physicians in Los An
geles and vicinity use and indorse
Puritas-not only because they know
it is free of all, vegetable impurities,
but because, also, it is part of their
knowledge that the minerals in city
water are harmful. City water con-
tains a considerable amount of min
eral matter-but there is no mineral
matter in Puritas.
The mineral salts in city water, OBJ
tanned by seepage through alkaline,
highly mineralized soil, cannot be abb
sorbed by the human system. Mineral
uualities-such as iron, sulphur, ETC.,
are absorbed by the system only
through the organic salts in fruits and
vegetables.
So, then, continual users of city wa
ter are bound, sooner or later, to have
deposits of this mineral matter In the
arteries. That means disturbance to
the kidneys, rheumatism and govt.
Puritas is a great scientifically me-
dicinal in effect though to the palate
it is just the purest, most refreshing
water you ever drank.

l. The sacrifices which American heir
esses make in purchasing foreign hus-
bands may not be wholly in vain so
far as the English aristocracy is con-
cerned. Prof. Edward A. Simmons, for
merly of McGill university, Montreal,
expresses the conviction that Yankee
wives will save the so-called nobility
from physical, moral and financial de-
generacy. He believes that as result
of marriage to American women the
next decade will witness a great inn
provement in the British upper crust"
While this statement is open to argu-
ment. there is no doubt about the fin
ancial uplift of much of the decaying
nobility. An American recently travel
ing in England with a native for a
companion, remarked the absence of
picturesque old ruins, and inquired the
reason. I'VE had them once" replied
the native, but your heiresses have

Everybody works, even father, in
Japan. The amazing industry and thrift
of the people, often remarked in this
country, is displayed at home to an
astonishing degree. An American.
writing from Kobe, says the earnings
of an unskilled laborer is about $40 a
year. The pay of g policeman, a much
coveted position, is So a month, that
of soldier As cents a week, while in
the government service few heads of
departments receive over $25 a month.
But every member of a family works;

girls OF IA years of age are to be found
learning trades in all the industrial!
workshops. Those not having such OPP
portunities take part in the commoner
kinds of labor "But the country is
poor, miserably poor" says the traveller,
and the struggle for life is so close
that the best grade of food raised on
the land is sent abroad and the poorer
grades consumed at home"

POLO FANS SEE
2 PONY GAMES
Ranelagh Defeats Bryn MaWr II to I
and Riverside Wins from Los
Angeles with Score
of 8 to 1

SAN DIEGO, March 20.-Polo en-
thusiasts witnessed two games in the
tournament at Coronado this afternoon.
In the first the Ranelagh team con-
tended with Bryn Mawr. 1t was an
elimination game, the winner to meet
BurIingame Monday, in a contest that
will close the tournament and be for
the AIl-American and Spreekels cups,
and the Pacific coast championship.
The game today was one-sided from
start to finish and rather featureless
in respect to individual plays. The
PennsylVanians, who had previously
displayed good form, seemed to go TO
pieces. They could not hit the ball and
their poor team work was III sharp
contrast with that of the other games
i'm which they took part The English
men. on the other hand, were at their
best hitting accurately and doing
plenty of aggressive team work. The
final score was: Ranelagh, IL; Bryn
MaWr, l.
Two accidents marred the sport. In
the second period of the first game r.
j. Mackey and Alexander Brown came
in collision, and the latter was huried
under a bunch of ponies and had his
leg sprained severely. Mackey was
also injured in the wrist. Both play
ers managed to continue the game.
In the fifth period w. Huhns pony
went to his knees and threw his rider
over his head. HUM was badly shaken
up, but stayed in the game.
The second game was between River
side and Los Angeles and was also
one-sided. Neither team has played
very strong in this tournament, and
made a rather poorer showing thar
before. Riverside played hard game
but lacked team work. Tom Weiss
and H. G.. Pattee did the best individual
playing. The Los Angeles players
We're very inaccurate when they at
tempted to hit the ball. The final score
was: Riverside. s. Los Angeles, 1.

YOU of a deer. Her neck is almost like
that of a 4-year-old stud, but not in the
least coarse, and set on her shoulders
in such a way that she is compelled to
have style. She is very short coupled
and with great depth at the girth,
giving plenty of heart room and with
tremendous chest and massive quarters.
Altogether an artist could not have
painted a more perfect specimen of the
trotting horse She looks much more
like a wonderfully well developed or
4-year-old than a baby. Now, what
ought a FLY like that bring, to say
nothing of the 100000 worth of stage
engagements she has and all fully
paid up?
With her Founder shipped the brown
mare Vienna, by ZolacK, 2:05A, that has
trotted in 2:121a as S-year-old in a
matinee here, and has been quarters
better than so seconds.
Kenneth C, 2:131a, that James c. Wat
lace bought last week in Pleasanton,
is settled in his new home at San Diego.
This handsome son of the Great Nc
Kinney should be a great success in the
stud in this part of the state, as he is
only years old, gained record OF
2:17 as a S-year-old and is sound and
handsome.
It was a great disappointment to a
number of people at the st. Patrick
day .matinee not to see George w.
F'ord's good horse, Goldennut, race lie
was entered, but he had too much speed
to be classed with any other entry
and so had to content himself with a
workout that morning in 2:12A.
A letter was received last Friday
from Silver Bill Riley at Tucson, Ariz.,
saying that the climate there seemed to
agree with him perfectly and that he
was gaining strength rapidly after his

deed to his hosts of friends both east
and west, for he has them in every

qualities in this respect is furnished by
the census of Allahabad which is
vouched for as common type. Thirty
five residents of that city described
themselves as men who rob with
threats of violence. twenty-nine were
howlers at funerals, 264 said they were
flatterers for gain, twenty-five were
hereditary thieves. and 145 described
themselves as ear cleaners. In addition
to this remarkable list there were nine
professional false witnesses, fourteen
hereditary painters of horses with spots
and seVenty-six makers of crowns with
idols. A truly remarkable showing for
a country where the art of jugglery is
near perfection and affords occidental
people a shining example to follow
