He Likes Such Surprises.

It's an old saying: the best adver-
tisement is a pleased customer. .
It happens to US continually in this
way: A man buys Devoe for his house
he has painted it once in three years
for q dog's-age, and thinks he knows
what he wants-b1ys 80 gallons, and
has 10 left.
He sees right-off that 20 Devoe is as
much as 80 of anything else. He likes
that; it comes quick; it is a surprise;
and he tells OF it. The best ADVERTISE
ment is pleased customer.
Three years roll round. There isn't
sign that his house paint; he don't
paint it. Next year he don't paint it.
This comes slow; it is a surprise; but
he has got used to it. Still the best
advertisement is a pleased customer.

DRINK PURITAS
DISTILLED WATER
1t Is the Only Pure, Wholesome,
Healthful, Reliable Drinking
Water to Be Had in Los
Angeles

To drink Puritas Distilled Water
regularly is not fad. Thousands OF
customers who have used Puritas for
many years will testify to this.
1t is a health requirement. Pure
water is just as essential to healthful
living as pure food. You will realize
this If you think about it little.
Our city water contains considerable
amounts OF minerals. These are entirely dis
solved in the water and cannot be removed
from 1t by alter or any mechanic de-
vice. Such Is the case with most the
water in Southern California. lows
through a highly mineraized soil ANA nat
uraly absorbs the minerals in 1t.
The only way to remove such Impurities
is by distillation-that is, by turning the
water into steam. In this process the i'm
pure parts of the water are deposited as
solids in the boiler. The pure part-that
is, the steam-is then condensed into wa
ter-pure water.
Roughly speaking, this is exactly the pro-
cess through which Puritas is put. But we
dIstllI Il twice, because two Installations are
necessary to remove all impurities.
Purtas Is aerated with pure ozone. Sc
cured by passing a current of electricity
through filtered air.
Johns This work Is so carefully done that
tha water reaches you with all its whole
some purity intact.
Purltas is inexpensive--5 gallons cost but

BY SHIRLEY OLYMPUS

One of the chief features of Forty

duced at the Belasco theater last night,
is that 1t shows the exceptional versa
tility of members OF Manager John
Blackwood's aggregation of players.
1t is a rather far cry from drama TO
music. Hence every Blackwoodian

or her efforts in George M. Cohan's
famous musical play success. Evident
ly the writer's opinion Is shared by
great many theatergoers of Los An
geles, for q capacity house applauded
the various members of the cast;
"Forty-f1Ve Minutes from Broadway
