COURSE In MACHINERY
instruction in Mechanical Department
Becomes So Popular Another
Class Will Be Added to
Meet Demand

The evening course in machine shop
work at the Young Mems Christian as
ISOLATION has become so popular under
the direction of N. e. Brown, principal
of the automobile school, that the as
Sociation has decided to open a day
class in the same work.
Only twelve students can be accom-
modated in the evening class, which
already has a waiting list, and for
some time the association has had calls
to give similar training during the day
Students are taught the practical OPP
Grafton of lathes, milling machines
drill press, shaper, ETC., and are put to
work on articles of practical utility
such as sprockets and various other
automobile parts that are used in the
repair department of the automobile
school.
The day course in automobile repair
ing is also popular. Machines are re-
paired and overhauled as in other re-
pair shops, all difficult work being per-
formed by skilled machinists.
Numbers of prominent owners Of au-
tomobiles have had their machines
overhauled at the school. Owners who
are taking the automobile repair course
are given instructions in repairing their
machines.

HOME OWES ITS NAME
TO SCOTCH EPISODE
PATTERNED ON MODEL or
ANCIENT CHARITY
Non-SectarIan Institution Opened on
West AngeIeno Street to Provide
Refuge for Neglected
Children

To care for children in need of a
home by reason of neglect, depravity,
abandonment or improper environment
the Heave Ava home has been estab-
lished at 1144 West Angeleno street,
with Mrs. L. ]. Wiles as manager.
This home was organized last o.
tober and already has twenty-one chill
dren to care for. When possible the
parents pay a reasonable compensation
for the care Of the children, but none
has been rejected on account Of in
ability to pay. Many Of the homes
for children are available only for or
phans or half orphans, and this is es-
pecially for children bereft Of home by
other reasons than the death Of parents.
The home is strictly non-sectarian,
and an appeal for funds has been
made.
The Scotch name adopted originated
many years ago, at the time Of the
Edinburgh earthquake. A little boy
was pinned beneath the timbers of a
house which had collapsed, and when
rescuers came he called out, "Heave
ava, chap; am not dead yet" Some
years later a large building was erect
ed on the spot and was called "Heave
AVA" being instituted as home for
children. The local home is patterned
after the Scotch institution.

ROWING AT WESTLAkE::
FIND BODY FLOATING
Advertiser for San Francisco Medi-
cine Company Believed to Have
Committed Suicide, SUISSE
quent to Drunken Spree

The body Of John w. White, So years
old, formerly connected with the Novo
Remedy company at SOC West Ninth
street and recently an advertiser for a
San Francisco medicine company, was
found floating in the lake at Westlake
park shortly after IL o'clock yesterday
morning. E. A. McKillip, a boatman,
and A. Koenigheim of $40 South Hill
street, who were rowing across the
lake, made the discovery. 1t is believed
White jumped into the lake with sui
cidal intent because Of financial
troubles and his inability to quit drink
ing. The body was taken to the under
taking establishment of Bresee Broth
ers, where an inquest will be held.
White was taken to the receiving hos
pital late Wednesday afternoon suffer-
ing from impending delirium tremens.
He was removed to the county hospi-
from the effects of his spree and was
released Friday morning.
He appeared at the police station Fri
day afternoon to get his property,
which had been taken from him when
he was searched at the receiving hos
pital. His belongings were few, and
the total amount of his finances was 45
cents. He spoke cheerfully, but seemed
to be under great strain. He thanked
luO uOSplId1 dIIS1lOduIS anu Wd1hSu
away. That was the last time he was
seen alive.
From the appearance of the body it
is thought it had been in the water
ten or twelve hours. When the body
was searched at the morgue only IL
cents were found in the pockets of the
clothing. It is believed White walked
direct from the station to the park,
waited until dark and then jumped IN
the water and ended his life.
He is said to have come to this city
recently from San Francisco. Nothing
Is known regarding his relatives.

CLAIM PRISONER
HAS CONFESSED
ALLEGE SMITH ADMITS He
ROBBED BURBANK BANK
County Authorities Say Alleged Ac-
complete of q. w. Moore Gives
Details Of His Connection
with Crime

George A. Smith, arrested in the
county Jail Friday. made full confes-
sion to Sheriff Hammel yesterday, &C

by d. w. Moore, who already is in jail

tered the jail on a pass for the purpose
Of visiting Moore. What his object was
in making this visit is not known, but
the officers believe he hoped to frighten
Moore by threats or induce him by
promises not to divulge the identity OF
anyone he knew to be connected with
the robbery at Burbank.
After his arrest Smith denied ali
knowledge of the Burbank robbery or
the looting OF a dry goods store In the
same town. He was given time for re-
Election, and sent for Sheriff Hammel
about o'clock yesterday.
81 am ready to tell all 1 know" he
Is alleged to have remarked. The au-
thorities say Smith told the sheriff he
was willing to plead guilty to the
charge Of robbery, and will be taken
to Burbank Monday, where he will be
arraigned before a justice of the peace.
A complaint also has been filed
against Moore at the Burbank court,
and he probably will be taken with
Smith Monday to answer to the charge.
Smith was formerly an electrical en-
gineer, but for some years has been a
soldier in one of the regular army regi-
ments stationed at San Francisco. He
is said to be wanted there on a charge

Charcoal Removes
Stomach POisOns
Pure Charcoal VIII Absorb One Hun
dred Times It's Volume Ia
Poisonous Gases

Charcoal was made famous by the
old monks of Spain, who cured all
manner Of stomach, liver, blood and
bowel troubles by this simple remedy.
One little nervous Frenchman held
forth its virtues before a famous con-
vention of European physicians and
surgeons. Secheyron was his name. He
was odd, quaint and very determined.
His brothers in medicine laughed at
his claims. Thereupon he swallowed
two grains of strychnine, enough to
kill three men, and ate some charcoal.
The doctors thought him mad, but he
did not even have to go to bed. The
charcoal killed the effects of the
Strychnine and Secheyron was famous.
Ever since that day physicians have
used it. Run impure water through
charcoal and you have pure, delicious
drink.
Bad breath, gastritis, bowel gases,
torpid liver, impure blood etc., give
way before the action Of charcoal.
1t is really a wonderful adjunct to
nature and is a most inexhaustible
storehouse of health to the man or
woman who suffers from gases or i'm
purities of any kind.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are made
of pure willow charcoal, sweetened to
a palatable state with honey.
TWO or three or them cure an Ord1-
nary case of bad breath. They should
be used after every meal, especially
if ones breath is prone to be impure.
These little lozenges have nothing to
do with medicine. They are just sweet,
fresh willow burned to a nicely for
charcoal making and fragrant honey,
the product Of the bee. Thus every in
gredient comes to man from the lap
of nature.
The only secret lies in the Stuart
process Of COMPRISING these simple
substances into a hard tablet or loz-
enge, so that age, evaporation or de-
cay may not assail their curative
qualities.
You may take as many Of them as
you wish and the more you take the
quicker will you remove the effects of
bad breath and impurities arising from
a decayed or decaying meal. They as
sist digestion, purify the blood and
help the intestines and bowels throw
off all waste matter.
Go to your druggist at once and buy
a package Of Stuart's Charcoal Loz-
enges, price 25 cents. You will soon
be told by your friends that your
breath is not so bad as it was. Send
us your name and address and we will
send you a trial package by mail free.

MIN ARE REcovERINo,
Two Of the Threshers Have Severe
Injuries.

Chapman. Sept. 1.-THE men in
jured in the explosion Of the Kruger
threshing machine engine yesterday
are all doing nicely and recovery OF
all except Joe Smith and e. F.fWal-
tiers is assured. Walters, whose
name was, yesterday given as Martin,
is resident Of this city. He was
struck by piece Of flying casting
and one leg is broken and the other
badly crushed, with a possibility that
he was also internally injured. Smith
has a very dangerous scalp wound,
the scalp being torn loose from the
skull and he is suffering with minor
injuries. The report that Andy
Schiller was hurt in the accident is
incorrect. Schiller was not at the
machine when the engine exploded.
The explosion is said to have been
due to carelessness in letting the
water run down in the boiler.

TYPHOID AT SOLOMON.
Five Cases Are Now Reported in that

DR.. Roberts of Solomon has five
typhoid fever patients in that CITY,
all children under IA years OF age
and all located in the same part OF
town. They are, ozetta and Vida
Fugatt, Eddie Hazleton and two OF
the Geissart children. Mayor Olson
makes this suggestion to the peo-
pie: Impure water causes more
typhoid fever than all other causes
combined and we would suggest to
the parents Of these children that
they take steps to have their drink
ing water analysed at once. II they
win send a four ounce bottle OF the
water, express prepaid, to the state
board Of health at Topeka, the same
will be carefully analysed and a rer
port made free OF charge. An cpl
demic might thus be avoided"

DWELLING AT AILLER's
N GREENHcusEs - BURNED
Gasoline Stove Set the Fire and De
struction Resulted.

The Raymond Miller dwelling
north Of the city burned to the
ground at 5 o'clock this morning. A
gasoline stove was responsible and
with great difficulty the greenhouses
we're saved. The chemical engine
from the city was responsible for saw
ing the other buildings.
Mrs, Miller is away and only the
sons Henry and Arthur were home.
They rose early and lighted the gaso-
line stove then went to the engine
room outside the house. Then they
saw the fire the house was ablaze and
practically nothing was saved.
The fire department made a quick
run and used all the chemicals car
ried with the fire engine. J. A. Tufts
went out with his auto and took some
garden hose. This was attached to
the cemetery water system and did
good service in saving the green
houses and outbuildings.
This was all that could be done
and the owners we're thankful for
that as the buildings are new and ex-
pensive. The loss is about $4,000
partly insured.

terrible Sight at the Scene ~ the
Accident.

Lyona, Sept. 1S.-The funeral Of
Otto Kruger was held yesterday af-
ternoon from the German Methodist
church at Lyona. Short services
were held at the home of Joe Schmidt
before the funeral party left for the
church.
One of the farmers who was at the
scene of the exploded traction en-
CINE Wednesday said that 1t was the
worst sight he ever hoped to see.
When the explosion occurred all Of
the men at the outfit with the ex-
ception of one was injured and i'm
mediately the stacks and machinery
took fire. Andy Schiller was on a
load of grain and was not badly in
jured and he and several other farm
ers who were hauling grain arrived
in time to save Joe Schmidt from a
horrible death. Mr.. Schmidt was be-
tween the engine and the separator
when the explosion occurred and was
knocked unconscious and thrown un-
der a part OF a stack of hay that was
turned over. When the men arrived
the stack was burning and all they
could see of Schmidt was his feet
from under the straw. He was
dragged out. The other men lay
around on the field being unable to
get up and 1t was an hour before the
physician from Chapman arrived. He
first dressed the wound on Mr..
Schmidt and, by the time he had
tended to all 1t was several hours.
Many farmers have visited the scene
Of the accident. The force Of the ex-
plosion was upward and the heavy
engine was blown on a high stack and
is now lying some distance from the
scene of the accident.
