 by President George Westinghouse, who Is now at his country place at Lenox, Mass. It has been a matter of common knowledge that President Westinghouse has not worked amica- bly, with the management which took charge of the company's affairs after the discharge of the receivers in 1908. In fact, during that time he has had two six months vacations when the friction between him and the other officers notably Robert Mather, chair man of the board, became acute. He is at present on one of these vaca- tions, which was scheduled to last until Aug 1. and Wall street was in- clined to regard the latest episode as

JULY COTTON UP IN LEAPS
 AND BOUNDS
Sensational Rise, Precipitated by Bull Raid, Scars 73 Points
 to 16.1O

New York. July PA sensational rise in July cotton, precipitated by what seemed to be bull raid, drove shorts to cover today and sent the cents. This was a very few moments after the opening. The market was sensationally active following yester- days sluggishness. There were wild scenes in the pit as July cotton ad vanced by elaps and bounds, going up 2 and points between bids.
 At the opening Frank B. Hayne bid 15.30 cents for 50.000 bales and few minutes later offered 15.35 cents for 25,000 bales. The bull attack was on and the rises were almost unpreced- ented.
 Shortly after the "cau." 1910 was bid for July cotton. The shorts fled to cover. fearing a bull demonstration that would last all week. The fact that little rain had fallen in Texas and the other big cotton stations had much to do with the cause of the advances which forced the bears to the wall.
 Yesterdays 'near-panic" in the stock exchange during which it seemed the bottom had dropped out of values, was followed at the opening today by many substantial gains which shortly after ward gave way before the bear at tack of the biggest operators in the financial district. The market was decidely active the opening following London's lead and showing good gains in some cases reaching as much as four points. Then came the report that the big brokers had not only withdrawn their relief from the market but were themselves sellers. Prices began fall ing fast.
 At the end of the first quarter of an hour the bear interests were attack ing prices vigorously and forcing them downward at a sharp clip.
 In the first hour a number of inn portant houses took an aggressive position on the bull side of the mark ct, for the first time in five weeks, helping to hold prices steady In the late forenoon the majority of stocks showed substantial gains over yester- days close.

HOTEL OWNERS OBJECT
TO ORDERS ON CENSUS
EnumeratOrs Work Sunday and
Increase Wages at Rate
of 3 Cents a Name

The taking of the United States CEN
sus in Los Angeles proceeded smoothly
yesterday, nothing worthy of note oc-
curing, beyond the beginning of the
work of enumerating the occupants of
the hotels and lodging houses.
Some of the larger hotels of the city
have objected to the task of furnish
ing data on their guests, but it has
been explained to them that it is a
feature of the census law and, being
the only provision made for numbering
that part of the population, must be
carried out. Bert L. Farmer, super
visor of the census, has prepared a
circular letter explaining the provisions
Of the law on this point which he will
forward to all of the hotel and lodg-
ing house keepers affected by it,
A large number of the enumerators
took advantage of Sunday to gather in
a few more names at three cents per,
nothing being said against Sunday
work in the census regulations. Re-
ports from the country districts COM
menced to come in to the census Of
flee yesterday.
The work of the enumerators in gen.
eral is proving very satisfactory, and
as they gain experience and confidence
the number of names turned in grows
considerably each day.

No Time Like the Present tt
Start the Regular Use of
Puritas Distilled Water

There are no special times when you
should drink Puritas Distilled Water.
You should have it on hand ALL THE
TIME.
It is Just as important to the family
health as an abundant supply OF pure
food. A little thought Will show you
that this is true. You doubtless thor
oughly recognize it, then why not ACT
UPON IT?
You know that natural waters in this
locality are strongly mineralized. AND
YOU know that inorganic minerals can
not be assimilated by the human body
They are deposited in the arteries, al
feet the kidneys and work definite
harm to people who persist in drinking
mineralized water.
The human system needs pure SOFT
water-and plenty of it. This is the
only water that really quenches the
thirst, Just as it is the only water that
cleanses the system.
You have Just this s<ind of water in
Puritas Distilled Water-pure, sort,
wholesome, sparkling. We distill Pur-
itas twice. We aerate it with pure
ozone-securing this by passing cur
rent of electricity through filtered air.
We bottle Puritas in clean, glass demi-
Johns. We even wrap the corks IN
foil so that impurities that would filter
through porous cork cannot contain
mate the pure water within.
