THEY ARE ALKALINE
Practically All Natural Waters in
Southern California Contain
Considerable Amounts of I'm
healthful Mineral Matter

Doubtless you. have noticed the slightly
''bracki. h" taste of the city water when
you use it for drinking purposes.
You will notice the same sort of thing
in the drinking water almost everywhere
you go in Southern California. Indeed, in
some cases the water is so "brackish"
that you can hardly drink it.
This is due to the mineral matter con-
tanned in the water. At some point in
its flow it passes throogh soil that is I'M
pregnated with alkali. This becomes dis
solved in the water-and hence its brack-
ish" taste.
No mechanical device rids water thus
mineralized of it's impurities. The minerals
are entirely dissolved In the water and
become a part of it. Only by changing
the nature of the water by chemical pro-
cess can you eliminate the salts in it.
Minerals in solution cannot be assnil-
ated by the human body. They become
deposited in the arteries. a fertile cause
of rheumatic and kidney troubles.
You should drink pure, SOFT water
And the only reliably pure. soft water OBJ
tainable hereabouts is Puritas Distilled
In the distillation of Puritas we turn it
into steam twice. Whatever foreign ele-
ments there may have been in the water
originally deposited as solids in the
boiler. The pure part of the water-that
is the steam--is re-condensed into water
PURE water Our long rS experaence zen dasS mas
sary for the production of absolutely pure
water.
The sparkle in Puritas is due to its thor
ough aeration. This is accomplished by
passing a current of electricity through
filtered air-which produces ozone-and
this ozone is forced into the water as
much as it will take UP.
Our care in bottling Puritas insures its
reaching you with all its wholesome purity
intact.
Puritas is most inexpensive-5 gallons
cost but 40c delivered within the old city
boundary lines. At outside points the cost
is a little more, owing to the long haul
Regular Puritas customers purchase coupons

discount. When you telephohe' ASK US

SEEKS INFORMATION ON
LOCAL HARB0R PROJECT
Mississippi Company Wishes to
Establish Freight Rates

A. P. Fleming. secretary of the Los
Angeles harbor commission, has re-
ceiVed q communication from John L..
Matthews, author of many magazine
articles relative to the development
and construction of harbors, asking
him for information concerning the
commercial possibilities here.
Mr. Matthews states that his atten-
tion was called to the unusual import
ance of the Los Angeles harbor project
bv the testimony which Mr. Fleming
gave last winter before the senate COM
nittee at Washington, which inVestl-
GATED the plan for a federal steamship
line on the Pacific.
The letter is written on the station
erv of the Mississippi Valley Trans
portation company of st. Louis and,
in part, reads:
"The company on whose letterhead
I am writing is very much interested
in Pacific coast trade and is endeaVor-
ing to establish a connection between
New orleans and the coast ports for
a. much cheaper routing of freight than
it now has. -, .e
eve will be very much obliged II
vou will give us some idea of what
YOU could take from this valley, and
what you could ship to this valley
without refrigeration.
"Our service, when it is established,
will include the entire Mississippi sys-
tenn, and will enable us to make rates
hased upon rate of 40 to so cents,
first class or flat, from New Orleans TO
San Francisco"

YACHT HAWAII DECALMED
UNDER LEA OF ISLAND
Favorite in the Race to Honolulu
Steers Poor Course-SWeet-
heart Is Now in Lead

SAN PEDRO, July 1.-THE last
news from the yachts now one day out
on the race to Honolulu was received
today from the crew on the big
schooner yacht Skidbladnir, owned by
Frank A. Garbutt. The Skidbladnir
was the last of the big fleet of yachts
and motor boats to leave the racers
at dusk last night.
The last yacht spoken was the
Sweetheart, then fully five miles ahead
of the Hawaii, which was becalmed
under the lea of Catalina island. The
Sweetheart was standing up beauti-
fully and leading the others steadily.
The Mollilou was trailing.
With light winds the Sweetheart will
give the other wachts hard race. 1t
is feared, however, that she will be
compelled to reef down in heavy
weather, which wiz give the other two
an advantage. While the Mollilou
crossed the line at the start ahead of
the other two yesterday she lost on
the run the first afternoon out. How
ever, she is a stanch yawl and in
heavy weather Is expected to make a
good showing.
The Hawaii Is generally picked as
the winner Yachtsmen, however, ex-
press much surprise that she should
get caught in the fat calm at the end
of Catalina island. This is the same
mistake her navigators made two
years ago when she lost the race on
account of having sailed poor course.
When the race began yesterday the
Sweetheart, the last over the line, i'm
mediately crossed the stern of the
other two and steered an easterly
course, hugging closely to the shore to
avoid the dreaded Calms at the end of
the island

TO INVESTIGATE CHARGES
AGAINST ELEVEN OTHERS
Two Lieutenants, Two SergeantS
and Seven PatroImen on List

Following the dismissal of Captain
Dixon from the police department, the
police commission will take up charges
that have been preferred against two
lieutenants two sergeantS and seven
patrolmen. These accusations against
eleven members of the police depart
ment are said to be of a serious
nature, and if sustained will result in
their dismissal from the department.
While it has not been given out Of
ficially. it is understood that those
who will be subjected to a searching
examination before the board of police
commissioners are Lieut.. r. S. Haupt,
Lieut. H r. w. Kriege, Sergeants
David Adams and August Hartmeyer
and Patrolmen Browning, Bowe,
Shafer, Bean, McClary and two others.
Just what the charges are against
the men is not exactly known, but it
is understood that they will be charged
with neglect of duty and taking action
in certain matters in such manner as
to violate the rules of the police de-
partment.
HAUPT ACTING CAPTAIN
Lieutenant Haupt was acting captain
in charge of the central division when
Captain Dixon was acting chief of
police, and it is thought that he acted
on the suggestion of his superior to
such an extent as to overstep the rules
of an officer and a gentleman, and
committed acts at variance with the
regulations
Lieutenant Kriege has been on duty
at the central station, and it is thought
the charges against him will connect
him in some manner with Dixon's NAL
administration.
In police circles it is known that
Sergeant Adams is a close friend and
a right-hand man of Captain Dixon,
and the charges against him probably
will be in connection with liberties al
lowed certain houses of questionable
character Adams, it is understood,
stated his intention of resigning from
the department in the event Dixon
was deposed.
Sergeant Hartmeyer also is a firm
friend of the discharged captain, and
his connection with the Dixon fac
ton probably is the basis for the COM
plaint against him.
PURITY SQUAD MEN
Browning, Bowe, Bean and Shafer
were members of the discredited
purity squad" Their actions in max
ing arrests of alleged women of the
underworld and the manner in which
the women were dragged from their
rooms no doubt figure in the charges
which they will face when taken be-
fore the police commissioners.
1t is understood that the police COM
missioners have been making quiet
investigation of the police department,
and the charges are the result of their
work. The police board, it is under
stood, will make a clean sweep and
weed out the undesirables from the
department and place the police force
on a firm basis and do away with the
petty politics that has disrupted the
organization since Captain Dixon be-
came active in his campaign to down
those who did not approve of his
methods.

HERE ON HONEYMOON TRIP

d. II. Madrid, youngest member of
the family which controls the flour
industry of Mexico, and several times
a millionaire, Is in Los Angeles on his
honeymoon, a guest at the Alexandria
hotel. With his bride, the daughter or
General Louis Terraza, former COVER
nor of Chihuahua, the young Mexican
it haphazardly touring California.
Although scarcely more than boy,
Senor Madrid is a thorough business
man and is deeply interested in the at
titude of the people of the United
States. and especially those of this
section, toward his country and toward
President Diaz.
How do the people of Los Angeles
feel toward our PRESIDENT asked
Senor Madrid when seen at the Alex
andria last evening. II understand the
newspapers do not feel as kindly to
ward him as before and the great bulk
of the people look upon him as rather
more a tyrant than a president. Is
that so?
81 think you people do not under
stand him very well. You hear of
nothing but his seemingly harsh ana
arbitrary acts. l wonder how many
people know that through him the gov
ernment purchased millions of dollars
worth of corn from Argentine last year
with which to feed the people? The
government charged a little for this
corn, but lost vast sums on the trans
action. The people here never hear of
these acts. But the Mexican people
do and they are happy and satisfied
under his rule.
1.-THE only thing which worries the
more enlightened of us is his success
sor. We all hope that he will live a
long time yet will go on ruling as he
has for years to come, but at the same
time knowing that he is liable to go
at any time. There are several men
being groomed for the place he will
vacate. Many believe that his death
will be the signal for internal discord
in our country, but I, understanding
the conditions as l do, fear no such
thing. All will go along as before.
american capital is coming into
Mexico very rapidly There has been
more capital from this country invested

RENO, New, July 11.-James Frank
lin, believed by the authorities to have
been Cne of the three men who held
up and robbed the westbound Over
land limited train near Ogden, Utah,
a short time ago, was arrested in Reno
last night. Franklins arrest was the
result of several days surveillance by
local officers, who were struck with
the resemblance borne by the man to
the description sent out of Franklin
by the Utah authorities. Officers as
far east as Chicago have been watch
ing for him since the Utah holdup.
The man gave his name as Miller
when taken to the police station, but
when shown a picture of Franklin con-
fessed that he was the man. He de-
MED, however, that he came to Reno
from the east. Two other we'll known
crooks identified as "Elkins Red" and
Hanson were seen with Franklin prior
to his arrest, but have not yet been
arrested. They were seen in Reno last
night and are also believed to have
been connected with the robbery.

CITIZENS COMPLAIN OF
POOR WATER SERVICE
Charge South Figueroa Company
with Shortage of Supply

At an executive session of the board
of water commissioners held last even
ing, after the departure from the reg
ular weekly meeting of that body Of
twenty-five citizens who had been
present for the purpose of complaining
of inadequate water service In their
locality, it was decided to confer with
the city attorney before advising the
complainants of the best move to make
to get better service The citizens are
residents of the district between YER
mont avenue and Figueroa street,
Santa Barbara and Fifty-first street
The South Figueroa Water company
is the name of the corporation which,
1t is asserted, is failing to supply a
sufficient amount of water for it's pa
irons for domestic purposes.
The citizens were first advised that
a resolution adopted more than two
years ago prevented the city from ex-
tending mains to the district in which
they live until the Owens river aque-
duct water is available They also
told them that even should the water
board decide TO supply water to that
part of the city it would be perhaps
five or six months before water mains
could be installed
After the departure of the complain
ants Mr.. Ware, the owner and man
ager of the water company. presented
himself before the BOARD with the
statement that it had been his inten-
tion to be there to hear his complain
ing patrons, but he could not get there
in time. He stated that the present
inadequacy of the supply is due to a
breakdown at the plant, and that 1t
will be repaired soon. He also said
that the supply was not so poor as the
members of the board informed him
the complainants had represented. He
further added that If the board so de-
sired he thought he could refer to some
consumers who would say that the
service Is satisfactory.

CLAIMS LICENSE
LAW IMPOSSIBLE
Light Company Attacks the 0rdl-
nance for Licensing Profess
SionS and Occupations
INTRODUCES MANY CHARGES
Complaint Says Measure Cannot
Be 0beyed-ASk Injunction
Against Enforcement
INTRODUCES MANY CHARGES

In a complaint covering many type.
tutionality of the city ordinance for
licensing professions and occupations
was begun yesterday by the Los An
geles Gas and Electric corporation.
More than a dozen separate charges
are brought against the ordinance, all
intended to establish the inValidity of
the measure.
1t Is impossible of ful1llment says
the complaint, because it requires cor
porations such as the Gas and Electric
to render a statement of their total re-
ceipts or sales every three months, and
though the plaintiff has hundreds OF
men employed, none has knowledge
sufficient to prepare the statement re-
quired."
1t is asserted that the ordinance
makes possible the taking of property
without due process of law, and that
the amount one-third of l per cent OF
the gross receipts is exorbitant.
Double taxation, in that the company
is already assessed for occupying the
streets, that is, for its franchise priv
ileges, is likewise argued, it being
claimed that the payment of an oc-
cupation tax makes the taxation dou-
BILE and therefor unconstitutional.
The impossibility of ascertaining
each three months the gross receipts of
q business such as selling gas is
claimed and offered as evidence to
show that the law is impossible of
fulfllment," and therefor invalid.
The clause providing that where the
city clerk makes a mistake and de-
mands an improper amount, is pointed
out as showing the act to be indefinite
and uncertain in that no provision Is
made for the taxpayer to recover such
overcharge.
The impairment of the company's
contract with the city for street light
ing is claimed as final ground for the
destruction of the ordinance.
