WOMEN OBJECT TO
TREATING custom
Berkeley W. c. T. U. Will Ask
Legislature for Laws Against
Alleged Pernicious Habit

BERKELEY, Dec 12.-Treating will
be doomed under the laws of the state
If the members of the Berkeley W omen. $
Christian Temperance union has its
way. With the opening of the 1egis-
lature January the members of the
local organization plan to- carry the
battle against treating in saloons to
the state capital and ask for legislation
to prevent it. Mrs. j. L. Slater presi-
dent of the local White Ribbon society,
is heading the movement against treat
ing.
Formal plans for the battle against
treating will be made at meeting of
the Berkeley organiza ton in Trinity
Methodist Episcopal church on the aft
ernoon of December 81. There will be
number of speakers present, who will
tell of the evils of the present system.
Much of the poverty, want and dis
tress," said Mrs. Slater today "can be
laid at the door of treating in saloons.
One drink would. perhaps. satisfy most
men, but when crowd of men in a
saloon start to treat, then is the shame
of treating illustrated
The habit is engendered by false
standard of pride. Men want to appear
liberal and spenders, and they will not
stand back while their companions are
treating. Consequently, all the treaters
get more liquor than is good for them
There are laws in other states
against treating. and there is no reason
why the same legislation should not be
enacted in California to be rid of this
social curse"

Against Her

OAKLAND, Dec. 12.-More damage
was done to her own case today by the
witnesses Mrs. Isabella J. Martin placed
on the stand to clear herself of the
charge of dynamfting the home OF
Judge Ogden. None of those she has
summoned so far has failed to testify
against the woman, and former Deputy
Sheriff George Janion of Trinity county
proved no exception.
Janion was questioned by Mrs. Mar
tin as to conversations he had with
Baby John" : Martin, with a view to
proving that the boys character was
bad Janion detailed a. conversation he
had with John Martin, in which the
latter described how he had manufac-
tured bomb under Mrs. Martins direc-
tions and had taken it to Judge Ogden
home and set it off
Baby John" who gave extended tes-
tlmony against Mrs. Martin, was placed
on the witness stand by her today. She

week. Mrs. Martin has spent months in
preparing her address to the jury.

ADDRESSED TO LADIES'

1t isn't often that a cigar
advertisement is addressed to
ladies.
Because ladies seldom buy
cigars.
But at Christmastide they
have men folks to look after,
and some of the male crea-
lures would rather smoke than
wear diamonds.
Therefore the ladies buy
cigars for the Xmas socks of
their doubtful better halves.
And such cigars
-Whoof!
Now, ladies, there's a way
out of this cigar problem.
And that is to come to us.
