CHIEF SUGGESTS FEE FOR
SPECIAL FIRE PROTECTION
Bankers Ball viii Be Guarded
from Possible Blaze

Chief Eley yesterday asked the fire
commission to define a policy on the
matter of supplying special fire pro-
lection to individuals. He said that
requests for special fire protection had
become so numerous that they made
a serious drain on the department.
He suggested that when special fire
protection was given by the depart
ment that the place specially protected
be charged a fee.
Commissioner Hawley was in favor
of charging for this service, but the
mayor opposed 1t.
The chiefs suggestion was made as
a result of the request of NJ. II. Flint
for special fire protection for the ball
to be given the American Bankers
association at the Shrine auditorium
October 4. In his communication Mr..
Flint said the decorations were to be
magnificent, and he asked for chem
ical engine to be stationed at the au-
ditorium to protect them. The pro-
lection was granted.

successive accusations of issuing
worthless checks were refuted in court

Specifically, he was accused of forg-
ing the name of L. T. Sherer, presi-
dent Of the Unit Loan company, to q
check for $25 drawn on the Park bank,
the date on the instrument being
April 1S, 1910. He proved that he had

his liberation being at $3.50 o'clock last
night-was to call his wife by tele-
phone and notify her of his acquittal.
His trial has been followed with con-

PuritaS Distilled
Water Is the Pure
Drinking Water
It Has the Wholesome Taste
That Pure Water Should Have
Free from Minerals

Perhaps you have noticed how
'brackish' the city water tastes. To
those accustomed to pure. soft drink
ing water it is not at all pleasant. AS
matter of fact, it is not healthful.
either-just because it contains con-
siderable mineral deposits.
What is true Of our city water is
likewise true Of most natural waters
in Southern California. They flow
through a highly nlineralized soil and
absorb the alkaline salts contained in
the soil.
These salts cannot be assimilated by
the human system. They become de-
posted In the arteries-a fertile cause
of rheumatic and kidney troubles.
You should drink pure, soft water;
that is the healthful and the natural"
drinking water.
The only way to get 1t hereabouts is
to purchase Puritas Distilled Water
and have a supply always on hand for
general family use.
Puritas is twice distilled and aerated
with pure ozone. We turn the water
into steam twice, recondensing the
steam (the pure part of the water).
The ozone is secured by passing a cur
rent of electricity through filtered air.
Puritas comes to YOU pure and spark
ling. 1t is bottled in clean glass demi-
johns so carefully that it reaches you
with all its wholesome purity intact.
Five gallons cost but 4Oc, delivered
within the old city boundary lines.
At outside points the cost is a trifie
more. Puritas can be had through
dealers at practically all the principal
outside towns in Southern California.
For city delivery phone us, Home
10053, Sunset Main $751; Ask us about
our Coupon Books, which enable you
to buy Puritas at a discount. Los

NORTH END IMPROVEMENT
DESIRED BY RESIDENTS

The North, Northeast and North
west Improvement association has sug-
gested some street improvements to
the council that the organization con-
siders would be of benefit to the north
ern part of the city.
The first is to open Yale street to
Sunset boulevard, intersecting and thus
widening the mouth of Hill at its
junction with Sunset; to close Ord
street between Yale and Hill, except
a narrow strip for a cement stairway,
and give the closed area to those per-
sons whose property is disturbed by
the opening of Yale as compensation;
to close Teed street and pave Ord be-
tween Yale and CASTELAR,.

CANTEEN IN CAMP
Church Federation and Anti-Sa-

tenn at AtaSCaderO
APPEAL SENT TO GOVERNOR
Fear Expressed That Troops May
Be Injured by the Sale
of Beverages
APPEAL SENT TO GOVERNOR

The soldiers at Atascadero probably
will lose their army canteen. The Los
Angeles Church Federation and the
Anti-Saloon league of the state are uI
in arms over the alleged sale of liquor
at the army camp. Orville j. Nave
a retired army chaplain who recently
visited Atascadero, is responsible for
the charges. The matter was brought
to the attention of the various anti
liquor organizations, which in turn
took it up with Mayor Alexander, and
last night a telegram signed by the
mayor, Erwin S. Chapman, superin-
tendent of the Southern California
Anti-Saloon league; S. T. Montgomery
president of the Los Angeles Church
Federation; Mrs. Hester T. Griffith
president of the w. C. T. U. of South
ern California, and o. J. Nave, was
forwarded to Governor Gillett.
TELEGRAM TO GOVERNOR
= The telegram protests against the
unlawful sale of liquor" and requests
that the 'liquor" be removed. The
telegram reads:
Los Angeles, Sept. %, 1910.
Governor J. N. Gillett,
Sacramento, Cal.
We are credibly informed that,
contrary to law and regulations,
the canteens of the regular regi-
ments at Atascadero are selling in
toxicating liquors by use of which
soldiers are being intoxicated. In
view of our state troops assembling
there for instruction, we, citizens
of Southern California, request you
to protest against furnishing such
liquors and to urge the general
in command to cause such liquors
to be removed from the camp.

league of his visit to the army en-
campment states that he found the

teen in progress in all but one of the
regiments, and that that was the

diate action and save them from
temptation"
There has been more or less disturb
ance over the activity Of the army
canteen at Atascadero ever since en-
campments began there. officers in
command of the men are said to have
allowed the sale of liquor because of
their desire to keep the men from the
atmosphere of the low dives that cling
like vultures to the outskirts of an
army camp. The army canteen is
supported under the old rules by the
regiment, where the soldiers may buy
their drinks up to a certain quantity
a day, the proceeds of the sales going
into the general regimental fund in
stead of the till of the dive keeper.
At the time of the abolishment of the
canteen in the army many of the
officers were said to be directly op-
posed to 1t, General Miles taking an
active stand in its favor.

IN EXPLOSION OF GAS

Mrs. Emma Gray, 83 years old, was
slightly burned about the hands yes
terday morning when a gas stove ex-
ploded in her home at 235 West Forty
second place.
The gas cock on the burner of the
stove had evidently been turned on
for some time and a quantity Of gas
allowed to escape so that when Mrs.
GRAY applied the match to it, it caused
an explosion. She was thrown across
the room by the explosion and the
stove was blown to bits. She sue
ceeded in squelching the flame before
it did any damage to the building. Her
