Just as a mother is careful about
the food she gives a child, she
should be careful about the kind of
a laxative she gives it to move its
little bowels. Not all remedies for
this purpose, no matter how good
they may be, are suited to a child.
You should especially avoid pills and
tablets and powders. for they are difficult
TO digest and children find il hard to
swallow them. And purgatiyes and salts
and the various waters are too violent
for the young. Better give il a gentle,
though effective laxative like DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. which Is pleasant to
the taste and absolutely does not gripe.
4 fifty-cent or enc dollar bottle can be
bought of any druggist, and II you give
a small dose. as the directions call for,
before you put the child TO bed, or a
small dose before breakfast. you will
have cheerful, happy child in a few
hours.

quarter of a century and thousands of
families know about <. but If you have

MULE SUCCUMBS
TOHYDROPHO
ANIMAL BELIEVED TO HAVE
BEEN BITTEN BY DOG
MuzzIing Ordinance, and Says
Only Strict Enforcement
Can Eradicate Rabies

Additional reasons for the rigid en-
forkcement Of the ordinance requiring
the muzzling of dogs was brought to
the attention of DR.. l.. M. Powers, city
health officer, yesterday when he was
called to Santa Fe avenue and Bay
street to examine Il mule that had dled
under distressing circumstances. AS
soon as DR.. Powers saw the mule he
pronounced it a case Of hydrophobia,
and took portions of the brain and
spinal cord to the city laboratory for
further examination.
The mule had bitten itself horribly,
chewing great pieces of flesh out of its
shoulders and other parts of its body
that it could reach with it's teeth. The
mule was owned by a negro, and is
believed to have been bitten by dog.
Since the warning was issued against
rabies four horses, one mule and one
person are said to have died Of hydro
phobia.
There may have been other human
cases of hydrophobia that have been
reported to the health department as
meningitis" said DR.. Powers yester-
day. "The symptoms and results are
similar in both diseases, and it some
times requires an expert to determine
the difference.
I'VE are never going to stamp out
this trouble until the ordinance re-
quiring the muzzling of dogs is rig
idly enforced for at least sixty days.
That would give all cases an oppor-
tunity to develop, and new ones could
not occur.
Il have been severely criticised for
starting what some people are pleased
to call hydrophobia scare and giving
the city black eye, but l believe the
public should know what it has to
contend with in cases of this kind. we
cannot stop the trouble by ignoring It.
I'VE neew veterinarian to assist
the health department in this work,
and have called the councils attention
to the matter"

did not know what he was doing but
said he was stopping at the Angelus

pay more.

EVERY FIREMAN FOR FIRST
TIME DRAWS OWN SALARY
Order to Revoke Powers of Attorney
TO Loan Sharks Has Bene-
fetal Effect

For the first time in many years,
probably the first time since Los An
geles has had a regular paid fire de-
partment. every member of that de-
partment drew his own salary TINS
month. This report was made to the
fire commission by Commissioner HaW-
lev yesterday morning.
Mr.. Hawley was much pleased WIN
this condition, for it was his special
activity that brought it about. Throu9h
his efforts the fire commission issued
an order to firemen to revoke all pow
ers of attorney that had been given
by them to loan sharks to collect their
salaries and fixed a penalty of DIS
missal for failure to do So
This order was rigidly carried out
and because of it the firemen drew
their own salaries.

ASK CHARGE AGAINST
FINKS Be QUASHED
Attorneys Move for the Dismissal of
Complaint Against Defendants
in JeweIry Disappear
ance Tanqle

A motion for the dismissal of the
charge of making a false demand
against the Hartford Insurance COM
pany in connection with the disap-
pearance of a trunk containing $40, 800
worth of jewelry and diamonds against
Albert Fink and his wife, Julia Fink,
was made yesterday by their attor-
neys in Justice Summereflld's court at
the close of the prosecutions case at
their preliminary hearing.
The ground upon which the motion
was made is that the prosecution had
not introduced sufficient facts with
which to convict the defendants. JUS
tice Summertield took the motion under
adVisement until this morning when
he will render his decision.
The bone of contention in the hear
ing is the corporate existence of the
insurance company. 1t is eontended
by the defense that the company was
not empowered to give a burglary in
surance as their license states that it
is a fire insurance company. The
theory of the prosecution is corporate
existence does not enter into the mat
ter at all.
Several detectives and railroad Off
Gals of the Southern Pacic were ex-
amined yesterday regarding the tracing
of the trunk. Records of the railroad
baggage department were introduced
into the evi@~nce in an effort to show
that the suit case, which it is alleged
was substituted for the trunk, went
north on the same train with the
trunk.
c. j. Balfour, Pullman clerk of the
Southern Pacific company in Los An
geles, testified that there were three
berths that were not engaged on the
Owl train on December 29 at which
time Fink is alleged to have told
Adams, a travelling salesman, that he
was unable TO procure a berth on the
train for him and for him to take the
morning train instead.
If the motion for dismissal is de-
MED the defense will begin the intro
duction of testimony.

ORDERED TO SUPPORT FAMILY

Pete Sarry, a farm laborer, was
tried for failure to provide for his wife
and two minor children before Judge
Willis yesterday morning and was or
dered by the court to pay his wife SIS
a month for the support of the chill
dren Mrs. Sarry declared she would
not live with him because he made
her work. If she asked him for any
money, she said, he replied by telling
her to work for it if she wanted it.
The court asked her if she was will
ing to live with him if he were COM
PEELED to provide for her, but she re-
fused on the ground that he would
either make her work or quarrel.
