STAGE SUCCESS RECORD
Star of Mary James Pa at Ma

Few people who have seen Max Fix

an American born. The fact is that
this John Cort star, who is coming to
the Majestic next week in 'Mary James
Pa" is an Austrian. He was born in
Vienna in 1868, but was brought to
America by his parents in the early
'7Os.

the stage early in life and as mem

Room club made his debut at is as
Prosper Courmant in SardOu'S great
comedy, "A Scrap of Paper" His first
marked public success was as Jean

rapidly. The next season he was fea-
tured with Florence Roberts in Ann
Damont' and THE Strength of the

appeared with great success in London.

HARRISON APPEAL MAY
Be DECIDED BY DEATH
Friends Fear Former Wealthy
Man viii Not Survive
His Imprisonment

Attaches of the county Jail do not
believe that r. B. Harrison, formerly
wealthy and respected citizen of
Aberdeen, Wash, who was sentenced
in the superior court last June to
serve five years in the penitentiary,
will live to hear the decision of the
district court of appeals, before which
his case was argued yesterday
DR.. J. Ross Moore is in constant at
tendance on Harrison and expresses
the fear that the prisoner will not
survive the ordeal. A concerted eff
fort has been made by his northern
friends to obtain a new trial and his
freedom on bail.
Hon. J. c.. Ross, district attorney
Of Aberdeen: Father Kennedy of a
Mrs. Hester Griffith, president Of the
California w. c. T. u, are assisting
Harrison's attorneys to gain him his
liberty.
In the brief that was filed for Har-
rison before the district court of APP
peals yesterday charges are made that
he was the victim of a blackmail
plot in which a policeman and private
detective figure. Following an alleged
attempt at extortion, Harrison's at
torneys assert that he was made de-
PENDANT in a civil suit for fabulous
sum and when he refused to settle
the case was arrested on a charge
of misconduct toward the 14-year-Old
son of the plaintiff.
Harrison's personality apparently is
so foreign to the charge, together with
his previous reputation, that his case
excited the sympathy and support Of
the w c. T. u, a number of Cath
Ole clergy and his friends al Aber-
deem, where he lived all his life prior
to coming to Los Angeles.
Jailer Gallagher said yesterday that
everything was being done by the
Jail attaches to prOlong Harrisons
life but that his condition at present
was very low. 1.-THE man seems a
pretty good sort" he said, land it
looks to us as if something was wrong
in the case. I trust that he is re-
leased or granted a new trial, as he
will stand no chance of living in jail"
Harrisons case was argued before
the appellate court yesterday and
prior to its adjournment was sub
mitted for decision. Ninety days may
elapse before a decision is rendered
in the case.

Pure Water a
Health Necessity
The Human System Demands 1t
You Cannot Keep on Drink
ing Impure Water Without
Getting Unpleasant Results

If you work with Nature, study her
requirements and live up to them;
there is no reason why you cannot
keep well and strong.
A comfortable body is a great help,
indeed. Really, one can do very little
without it,
Nature demands that the body
shall be fed and cared for very caro-
fully. You need pure food in suhi-
cient quantities. And so do you need
Pure Water-just as much as you do
pure food.
Pure drinking water is soft" water
1t acts as much as a solvent and
cleanser as it does in quenching the
thirst.
Hard" Waters-lilse our city water
and most of the mineralized natural
waters Of Southern CaIifornia-are
not good for the system. The min
erals contained in them cannot be as
simulated, but are deposited in the
artcries-a fertile cause Of rheumatic
and kidney troubles.
This is not a theory but a faCt-as
hundreds Of competent physicians
will tell you. Many Of them for that
reason prescribe and use Puritas
Distilled Water. They know il is
soft" pure and wEolesome-and that
it's purity can he relied upon at all
times.
Puritas is an absolutely pure water
and so Inexpensive that anybody can
afford to have it. We distill it twice.
We aerate it with pure ozone. We
bottle it in clean glass dcmiiohns-it
reaches you with all its wholesome
purity intact
Have Il supply always on hand-so
that every member of the family can
have plenty OF pure water to drink.
You can easily afford this, for five
gallons cost but 4Oc, delivered within
the old city boundary lines. At out
side points the cost is a little more.
Regular Puritas customers purchase
Coupon Books, thus securing the
pure water at a discount When you
