Vitality Lowered by Drugs.

Dr. Kebler said this morning that what
he said about soothing sirups was that
they lowered the vitality of the Infants
and made them susceptible to almost any
disease that was going about.
The health department has paid no at
tention to the sale of soothing sirups, pc
cause of natural inclination to let inc
police attend to their own duty. The drug
stores and what they sell are under the
eye of a special department of the ponce
in charge of a drug inspector. Moreover,
the federal law. 1.-The pure FOOD ana oius
act" controls the percentage of opium In
soothing sirups and other drugs.
Dr. Woodward said this morning tnat
while he condemned the use OF soothlng
sirups as vigorously as any one, ne couiu
not attribute the epidemic of infantiie
paralysis to their use In general In ell
feet he said exactly what DR.. kebier
said, that the soothing s1rup is pau
thing for a child because it lowers the
vitality.

previously reported in these columns.
The general invitation to attend was
answered by about 125 men. In the

answered by just such move as is being
made by the Y. NJ. c. A. w. A. Kicker
spoke in support of the same idea. After
an intermission DIR. George B. Hyde gave

pleased with their new quarters. In fact
this club movement is a success in every
way. Other smoke talks after the order

The ssWiZard of WiSeland" Presented to
a Large Audience at The Colonial.

The "Wizard of Wiseland," a comic
opera, pleased an unusually large crowd
at The Colonial. Monday night. 1t
proved to be more than laugh, it was
scream from start to finish. Nat
Phillips as Likely Goldenberg," the
Wizard, had a large number of other
comedians standing sideways. The idea
of an Israelite in Fairyland is funny in
itself but Ikey added quite bit to the
funny situation by his gloom dispelling
antics. The cowboy quartet did all that
was expected of them, Ham Sloe made
good in his song, "What Funny Dreams"
and the broilers and show girls came to
the fore with several alluring dances and
catchy songs.

Statement by MIR. Schultz.

To the Editor of the CALIFORNIAN -
Through your columns l wish to
express regret to those who attended the
Wizard of Wiseland" at the Colonial
Monday evening for the disturbance Gre
ated by certain persons occupying one of
the boxes. They were apparently under
the influence of liquor, fact not known
to the management when they were adj
mitted.
Being engaged with my duties at the
entrance to the theatre. was unable to
be in the auditorium at the time of the
occurrence, and was entirely ignorant of
it until near the close of the last act,
when any action would have caused more
commotion without lessening the annoy
ance to the audience or the players.
1t is my intention to have The Colonial
run in reputable manner. and to use
every means to prevent all disorderly
conduct. / am very sensible of the injury
which may be done to the reputation of
a theatre by few irresponsible persons,
and for that reason l believe this state
ment to be due both to the management,
to those who attended this play and to
all patrons of The Colonial.
