Baths In Finland.

One Of the greatest trials a visitor In
Finland has to endure is Finnish
bath. The method Of procedure is
unique Diyested Of outer clothing
and atttred In a light and airy cot
ton garment. you are slung In a sort
Of hammock composed of cord above
a large receptacle like the boilers in
public laundrles. This Is almost filled
with cold water, into which at the
right moment is flung a large redhOt
brick or piece of iron, which of course
causes an overwhelming rush of steam
to ascend and almost choke you.
Then when that process has gone on
sufficiently long you are shaken out
of your hammock, immersed In cold
water, and after very drastic treat
ment you resume your raiment, sad
der and wiser than before your novel

DISPUTED DEED IS
UPHELD BY COURT
Woman Allowed to Keep Land
Given for Injury Done.
Her Daughter

OAKLAND. Feb. 26.-That the words,
Il hereby convey the property TO Mrs.
Helms written on an old deed and
signed by the owner of the property,
were sufficient to pass title to the land
was held today by Judge Harris in a
suit to quiet title brought by the ex-
ecutor of the will of the late H. Dahl
man
Interesting facts came out during
the trial of the suit, which was a
friendly one, as TO the relations be-
tween Dahlman and the family of Mrs.
Helms. In 1872 Dahlman's horse
kicked the little daughter of Mrs.
Helms in the face. disfiguring her for
life. Anxious to make reparation to
her he gave her mother the deed to a
piece of property near San Lorenzo
worth about $4,000. But as he was
not very well educated he did not at
tempt to make out a fresh deed, con-
tenting himself with writing his in
tention to convey on the deed he had
already.
Mrs. Helms took possession of the
land and has occupied it ever since.
Dahlman died in 1907, when his execu-
tor, ID. Pestdorf. brought the suit in
order to clear title.

EVIL EYE FIGURES
IN DIVORCE SUIT
NeapOIitan Woman Tells Court
That Husband Accused Her
of Being a SOrceress

OAKLAND, Feb. 26.-The superstition
of the evil eye" and the cure for it,
were dragged into Judge Harris court
this morning during the trial of the
divorce suit brought by Ersilia Firpo
gainst Giacomo Firpo. The burden OF
Mrs Firpo's complaint against her hus-
band was that he accused her of possess
ing the "evil eye" or being sorceress,
in other words, and of greeting her
with the gesture appropriate TO ward
off her evil spell.
This gesture is made by extending
toward the person having the evil
eye" the index and little fingers of the
hand, and turning down the two fin
gers between them. 1t is called max
ing horns"
He made horns at me all the time
judge" Mrs Firpo told Judge Harris,
who called a halt in the proceedings
until the meaning of what she said,
and its bearing on the superstition OF
the evil eye,' was explained.
Judge Harris did not think that
making horns" at a wife was a very
cruel thing, for he denied Mrs. F'irpe' S
prayer for divorce, and, instead,
granted an interlocutory decree to her
husband Giacomo. He testified that
Mrs Firpo had threatened to kill him
with a butcher knife, and had wrong
fully accused him of having an affinity
in the person of Giuzepte Codevila.
The appearance of w. H. Hughes, a
railroad man, who pleaded guilty to
having been married four times and
whose third wife, now divorced, is try
ing TO compel him to pay her alimony,
was the occasion of an outburst on the
part of Judge Ellsworth, in whose
court the proceedings were held today.
1T makes me ashamed of my sex,
said Judge Ellsworth, Ito see men
bring children into the world and then
pass the responsibility of caring for
them and supporting them on to a
woman
Hughes has two crippled children by
his first wife, who is dead. His third
wife has a child by him, and was in
receipt of aImony until he married
again recently. Then it took all his
money to furnish a fat for bride No. 4
Added to his troubles, the Southern
Pacific railroad company suspended
him. He was given two weeks to do
something for his third wife and their
child.
An interlocutory decree of divorce
was granted to Marie A. Lima against
NJ. NJ. Lima on the ground of desertion.

The Charm of Childhood
Is Clear Clean and Spotess Skin, Such as Is Attained
By the Use of Stuart's Calcium Waters
Trial Package of Suarts Calcium Waters Sent Free

When You deprive your children of
their btrthright inheritance of a clear.
clean skin, you have deprived them of
more than you realize or think. You
have in a measure deprived them of
caresses and kisses, for no one loves
so well to kiss a blotched and pimpled
face, no matter how sweet and lovable
the owner, as one that is smooth and
unmarried by unsightly eruptions.
An unhealthy and unwholesome con-
dition of the skin is simply an evidence
and indica tion that the system through
out is not in order; is not at it's best
and needs attention, and the careful
parent viii be prompt to see that proper
attention is given. Pimples and their
Kin are not causes, but palpable patent
effects. Remove the cause, take away
the obstacle TO perfect health and love-
liness of the skin, and the children
will bless you and you must see to
for their being.
Those unsightly pimples and blotches
on your children's faces indicate an in
correct condition of the blood and some
times in the lives of our children, the
blood runs wild and riot through the
system, depositing its germs, poison or
otherwise, wherever it courses. There
is the time when children turn to young
women and manhood. The blood is
finding new channels and new oppor-
tunitfes, and strange avenues, carrying
with it good or i'll. whatever it con-
tains. When the blood is pure clean
and unvitiated the young peoples
health is good. as evidenced in the clear
eye, the elastic step and the beautiful
skin. When the blood is bad, tainted
and vicious, or lacking some essential
quality it is also shown in the lack
luster' eye, the lifeless step, and the
pimpled, blotched and unsigftly skin
This is grief to all concerned and
humiliation, but more than to any one
else the young man or woman who
must endure it There remains but one
sensible. practical thing to be done,
namely to put the blood in proper con-

GREEK THEATER HAS
IT'S OWN "PROP" ROOM
Many Costumes Will Be Pur=
chased for University Plays

BERKELEY, Feb 26.-The Greek
theater stage has arisen to the dignity
of having a property room and, with
nucleus of so costumes used in
Eumenides' THE Birds" four years ago,
an effort will be made to stock the
property room with all sorts and kinds
of costumes for future use.
In the production of Nero" this year
and "Oedipus Tryannus" the students
will buy their own costumes, and after
the play many of them will be pur-
chased by the university for future
shows.
1t has been estimated that a least
$1,000 a play will be spent by the sew

fects, which will probably become the

The professors contended that when
they bought sites for their homes In
Berkeley from Doctor Mouser's father
they were assured by him that small
strip in front OF their places should be
used for ornamental purposes and
should not he built upon. This Doctor
Mouser denied and sought to oust the

dition and the evil will be remedied,
Just as surely as the blood has caused
the trouble
There are lot of blood purifiers
that our grandmothers used to give: they
are given now, too only in a different
and more presentabe manner The
spring was the favorite season for
teaing" the children and were thew
sick or well all must participate In this
rite; none were exempt on the fine old
theory that an ounce of prevention
was worth a pound of cure Great
poWls of tea were concocted of sassa-
fras, sarsaparilla. spikenard, ginseng
and many other things that We're fierce
and bitter to the taste. In fact pretty
nearly all were bad, only differing in
degrees of badness, but in the right
line of procedure.
Now the STUART CALCIUM WATERS
take the place and do the splendid work
of all of these and other equally valu-
able things which were not so well
known years ago. But there is this
difference: there is no dread of taking
the Waters and consequently we are
no forced or made to take them. There
is no holding of the nose" like our
Srandmothers did. No, these tablets
about with you if necessary and as
soon as taken they go promptly to
work without dallying or delay and in
a little while the beneficial effects are

the general toning up of the system

know more about this Calcium Wafer
than this limited space can give, SO
go and ask your druggist his opinion

DIAMOND THI[PS
RECORD UNEARTH[D
Man Captured by Mine Owner
Proves to Be Clever East
ern Crook

OAKLAND, Feb. 26.-Captain of De-
tectives Petersen has received from e.
Van Buskirk, superintendent of the
national bureau of criminal identifica-
tion at Washington, d. c., the full
prison record of Charles Wade, the
pickpocket who is awaiting trial in the
superior court for the theft of a dia-
mond stud from Captain w. A. Neville,
the millionaire owner of the Rawhide
mine. Neville. who was robbed by
three men at the Oakland mole, pur-
sued and captured Wade, but did not
recover his diamond.
The national bureau data stamps
Wade as one of the professional crooks
of the east who visit western cities.
His exploit wah two pals by which
Neville lost a 500 stone was typical
of such workers, as they followed the
mine owner across the bay, jostled him
in the door of a car and shipped the
stud from his shirt bosom in the
crush.
Wade was known at st. Louis. where
he was first arrested, as John Scullen,
Kid Taylor and Clarence Robinson. He
was arrested in that city January 10,
1908, for picking a mans pockets. He
forfeited S100 bail January %, and got
to Chicago, where he was arrested
again as a fugitive from justice. He
again raised bail, $1,000 in amount, and
again forfeited. He is still wanted at
st. Louis.
He next appeared at Jefferson City,
Mo-. where he was convicted and SEN
fenced to two years in the penitentiary
for larceny April 9. 1904. His case was

NOMINATING PAPERS
MAY NOT BE LEGAL
Blank Spaces Likely to Invalidate
Afhdavits

OAKLAND, Feb. 2s.-Owing to the
fact that blank spaces are being left
on the affidavits Of voters that are 10
be used ia nominating petitions, a
grave doubt has arisen in the past few
days regarding the validity of them.
According 10 District Attorney Dona-
hue. the doubt is a serious one.
Most Of the affidayiJs are signed and
sworn 10 by voters who do not know
IN what ward or precinct they reside,
although they can give their residence.
The verihcation deputy who takes
the affidavit is equally ignorant in most
cases, so blank spaces are left, which
are afterward hlled out. In the mean
time the voter has already sworn to
the affidavit.
