Nerve force like electricity IS hard to ex'

One thing is certain. Nerve force can onl,
be created from rich, red blood.
Make the blood right and you cure diseases
Of the nerves such as headache, indigestion,
sleeplessness, irritability, weakness Of the
bodily organs, prostration and partial paralysis.
This is the only way actual cure can possibly
be brought about, and because DR.. A. w.

they accomplish wonderful results in the cure

OFFICER RIVALS FEAT
OF SLAUGHTERING TWO
BIRDS WITH ONE STONE

killing two birds with one stone, q
feat which for years has been considered
marvellous, was surpassed yesterday by
Deputy Humane Officer Henry c.
Stubbe. who killed one dog and wounded
another with one bullet. 1t was only
chance that the second canine got in
front of the leaden pellet from the Off
GERS revolver, so stubbe is not taking
too much credit to himself.
Early yesterday morning the officer
was called to 1924 West Thirty-sixth
place to get bulldog which had strayed
there. Stubbe found the animal to he
exceedingly cordial In his advances, but
after lifting 1t into his buggy the Off
Ger found that he had been deceived
without warning the dog planted his
teeth firmly into Stubbe's left hand and
not until after a hard and well placed
kick had been delivered did the animal
release his hold.
Stubbe Immediately drew his revolver
and shot the bulldog. The bullet passed
through the animals head and landed In
the body of another canine which was
watching the execution from across the
street. The latter was probably fatally
wounded. but its owner refused to allow
anyone to end Its life.
Stubbe's hand was cauterlzed at the
receiving hospital, after which he re-
tired to his home at 1880 Enterprise
street

bers of the club and many of the re-
Gently elected city officials. Nathan
Newly, president of the club, presided
and spoke in q happy mood.
Being reelected mayor of a city
like Los Angeles with nine such good
councilmen is glory enough for any
man." said Mayor Alexander. "All
the world is looking to Los Angeles as
the result Of tine direct primaries and
the Good Government election. Per-
sonally it will be much easier for me
during the next term of the office of
mayor Of Los Angeles with those elect
ed with me than during the past eight
months of my service for the city. 1t
is now for us to make good, l think
we can do this, for it is the best city
government in the World-eXcept the
mayor"
President Newly then introduced
Meyer Lissner and said in his intro
duction that the great achievement
was largely due to the instrumentality
of Meyer Lissner at the head of the
Good Government forces
Real credit for the Good Govern
ment movement including the cleo
tion. is not so much due to the So
called leaders as those behind the
guns" SAID Mr., Lissner, Many pa

have not been heard from in the re-

Mr.. Lissner said that he had received
"a busheI" of letters from Good Gov
ernment voters, one of WHICH he read
from a man in MonroYia, who wrote:
praise God from whom all blessings
flow. Yours truly"
1--WE have great responsibility be-
fore US" continued Mr.. Lissner
(which is greater than the great vic
tory achieved. Let us not however,
ask too much at once OF our new city
officials. Let us give civic righteous
ness in homeopathic doses and all will

Thomas Il. Gibbon dwelt upon the
new civic ideals of Los Angeles, and
declared that he had noted marked i'm
provement in the moral tone of the
city during the last two years. He
pointed out that the decided response
to the appeals to the citizens to oust q
corrupt mayor, eliminating IN the
later sweeping victory, was matter
for congratulation, not only in its di-
rectly beneficial results but as a trih-
ute to the high standard of the citi-
zenship of Los Angeles.
1--WE have demonstrated that it is
possible in this city to elect good
government ticket opposed by every
evil influence of the municipality,
said Mr. Gibbon.
Judge John D. Works made the
closing address, full Of appreciation to
all who placed him in office and of
his obligations to the CITY.
