Puritas Distilled Water
for HeaIthfu| Drinking
Contains None of the Mineral Impurities
Found in Natural Waters

Many people complain of the "brack-
ish" taste common to most waters III
Southern California. Even our city
water is not free from it.
This taste is due to the considerable
quantities of mineral matter IN the
water, These minerals are held in So
Internationally dissolved. The wa
ter cannot be freed from them by any
filter or other mechanical device.
This smineralized water is not only
UNPLEASANT to the taste, but 1t mas u
distinctly harmful effect on many per-
sons. To it's action may be ATTRIBUTED
many kidney and rheumatic troubles
as the mineral matter cannot be as
simulated by the body, but becomes
deposited in the arteries.
You should drink pure, "soft' water,
and in this vicinity the only reliable
supply is Puritas Distilled Water
Purltas is absolutely pure. We dis
fiji If twice, double distillation being
essential to insure it's purity.
Puritas is full Of zest and sparkle:
This is due to the fact that it Is aerated
with pure ozone. The ozone is secured
by unique process-hltered air Is
passed through an electric current, and
the resulting ozonc is forced into the
pure. distilled water awaiting it.
We bottle Purltas in clean glass
demiiohns. Every care is exercised in
the work, and we even wrap the corks
in foil, in order that the air, filtering
through a porous cork, may not con-
taminate the pure water within.
Puritas is very inexpensive. Five
gallons cost but 4Oc, delivered within
the old city boundary lines. At points
farther removed the cost is trifie
more, owing to the long haul. Regular
Purftas customers purchase Coupon
Books, thus securing the pure water at
a discount. When you telephone us
ask about these. Home 1O053, Sunset
Main 8191.
Puritas is obtainable from dealers in
most towns throughout Southern Cali
fornia. If you have any difficulty in
securing it write us and we will see
that you are supplied.

SEATTLE UNION INSISTS
ON FULL INVESTIGATION
Organization Adopts Resolution
CritiCiSing L. A. Merchants

SEATTLE, Oct 6.-The Central
Labor union, which includes practical
ly all the organized workmen in Seat
tie, last night adopted a resolution de-
manding "a full and fair investigation
of all the facts and circumstances sur
rounding the loss of life and destruc-
ton of the Los Angeles Times building,
and that such investigation be con-
Quoted with the view of fixing the re-
sponsibility therefor and the apprehen-
sion and punishment of the perpetrat-
ors thereof, and not for the purpose of
forwarding the aims and objects of the
Merchants and Manufacturers associa-
ton"
A preamble declares:
1--WE are warranted in believing that
the destruction of the Los Angeles
Times building and the death of wage
workers therein and the charging of
such murderous and criminal act to
organized labor is in perfect accord
with the purpose and object of the said
pretended Merchants and Manufac-
turers association in its efforts to in
jure and destroy organized labor"

that of Haggarty. The Identification
was made through the finding of a
small wrench near the body. Hag-
garty's father questioned the correct
ness of it because the wrench was not
like the one his son carried. That the
father was right is shown by the 1den-
tification of the body found yesterday.
II is the seventeenth taken from the
ruins.
The body of ]. Wesley Reaves, which
was found several days ago, was
buried yesterday leaving sixteen
bodies awaiting burial.
1t is thought that there are still SIX
bodies in the ruins. 1t will be tmpos-
sible to recover these until the debris
is removed from the north end of the
ruins. They are thought to be near
the rear elevator shaft which so many
of the employees attempted to use as
a means Of escape from the burning
building.
FIRE BREAKS OUT
Fire which had smouldered since the
explosion broke out again yesterday
necessitating the calling out of the fire
department to extinguish the hames:
The fire was confined to the rear or
the ruins and did not reach the place
where the remaining bodies are
thought to be.
throughout the day employees of the
Baker Iron works were at work hoist
ing the iron beams and debris from
the ruins Shortly before o'clock the
men were ordered to stop, as the wall
on the east side of the ruins was de-
clared to be unsafe. Several men were
sent to brace it, and the workmen Will
resume their work again today. The
wall on the north side Of the building
will be torn down today, it is under
stood.
Captain of Detectives Paul tlammer'
when asked for any new developments
in the case, replied that his men were
still hard at work, but that he could
give out nothing.
"While we have run down innumer-
able clews which have not amounted
to much, we have several which ap-
pear promising to u.s." he said.
No arrangements have been maze
for funeral services over the bodies or
the victims. It is planned to hold one
funeral for them all and have one
burial in the Hollywood cemetery
This has not been definitely decided
II was announced at Bresee Bros un-
dertaking parlors last night that the
funerals probably would be held sun

COUNTRY SQUIRE
SEPT. 50
Lee Willard Preparing the
Home Talent Play for
Production Next Week.

The cast for the production of "The
Country Squire" has been secured
and the first rehearsal last night IN
dicates that it will be the most mer-
itorious home talent production yet
put on in this city.
Referring to Mr. Wizards appear
ance in this play with his own COM
pany, the San Diego Tribune of Feb.
7th says:
There is a striking similarity in
theme between THE Country Squire
and such pieces as THE Old Home
stead" "Shore Acres" and Way
Down East" But there the similar
ity ends, for in THE Country Squire
the audience is spared the necessity
of shedding tears over the actions
of the unsophisticated down east
maiden who trusts implicitly but not
too well. In Wizards piece the
daughter does leave home to marry
man of her choice, but discovers
his villainy before it is too late, and
returns home on Christmas eve to
gladden. the Borrowing heart of her
patient and long-suffering father.
Jeremiah is a down east" far
mer who looks upon the world in
some such manner as does David
Harum. He has his heavy burdens
to bear, but does not carry them on
his coat sleeve He suffers alone,
while in public he sheds sunshine and
cheerfulness by his deeds and &C
lions. Willard is especially adapted
for such a character, and at times
his work is a striking resemblance
to that of Sol Smith Russell.
I'm the second and third acts es-
pecially is Willard seen to good ad-
vantage. When he defends the the
cries of Darwin he is brilliant. There
is lots of action, life and gesture in
the lines, and Willard is strong in
scene In the last part of the third
act, Willard again shows his capa-
bilities where he audibly soliloquizes
with himself as he essays the role
of Santa Claus while filling the
stockings which he hangs at the old
fireplace And the heart and SYM
pathies of the audience go out 10
him when he places upon his head
the fur cap sent him by his absent
son. reviews with a sigh of satisfac-
ton the stockings hung with such
care" and sits down before the
glowing embers on the hearth and
takes his might cap smoke befort
retiring.
Announcement was made this
morning that The Country Squire
will be given in the theatre here on
Friday evening, Sept. 30th, under
the auspices of the Wenatchee Mill
tary Band.

The peach crop this year did not
bring the growers any profit, and to
some it was big loss in not getting
enough out of the peaches to pay
for boxes and packing. This. think,
is due to lack of proper management
in marketing this kind of fruit. Some
people are now talking of grubbing
out their peach trees. That seems
to be too bad to do after spending
many years of constant care in grow
ing them If Wenatchee had a bunch
of business men with a paid capital
of a few thousand dollars for the
purpose of handling the peach crop,
growing peaches might not be so bad
after ALL These men should COM
mence early in the season to confer
with storekeepers all over the coun-
try-in mining districts, farming
sections, up in Canada and Alaska
anu snip IAC IL ule uilCSL ~ lLClA
The storekeeper could confer with
customers beforehand to take a GER
tain amount of the fruit, thus the
fruit would go direct from the grow
er to the consumer in much less time
than it takes for it to go through
commission house. then probably
back-track for a few hundred miles
TO an unprepared store, lacking cOur-
age to handle soft fruit in large
quantities for fear of a loss to him.
The success of handling soft fruit is
to get it to the consumer with the
most possible speed and to avoid
middlemen's profit. Arrangement
could be made with the railroad COM
panies to transport freight this way,
at carload rates, and through trains
between large cities, like cattle trains
in the east, having the right of way,
making nearly the time of a passen-
ger train.
