MAYOR SEEKS A GOOD MAN

G. O. Hawley for chief of police is
the rumor current at the city hall, and
Mr. Hawley himself admitted last
night that there had been indications
that something of the kind might
occur.
The place has not been offered to me
as a definite proposition" said Mr.
HaWley.
Are you in a receptive mood, if it
should be offered to you?" he was
questioned.
well, possibly" he replied with hes
itation.
Mr.. Hawley is now fire commissioner
and has acquired a reputation as the
Give wire" He has introduced i'm
portant changes in the fire department
and put it on a basis of greater eff
cheney than ever before. His en-
deavors have reached beyond the fire
department, for other departments
have followed examples he has set
especially in the matter of loan
sharks" Hawley was the one who
shook the loan shark from the city
payrolls, after various administrations
had yainly tried to do the same thing
and he did it by ordering the firemen to
file with the city auditor revocations
of the powers of attorney they had
given the money lenders. Now every
city employe collects his own salary
But If Mr.. Hawley is appointed it
will not be until the police commission
is ready to act in the matter, and this

Pure Water Drinking
q Matter of COM
mon Sense
A Few Minutes Thought Will
Convince You That Pure Water
Is as Essential as Pure Food
You Can Rely Upon the Absolute
Purity of Puritas Distilled
Water

This question Of pure foods and pure
water need not trouble anybody par
tlcularly Just use your common
sense, and the answer comes quickly
and much to the point You KNOW
that to retain your health you must
have plenty of pure, wholesome food
So must you have plenty of pure
drinking water.
Water has a further function than
the mere quenching of the thirst. The
copious drinking of pure water tends
to keep the body sweet and clean
Water acts as an internal bath. 1t aids
the system in performing its functions.
Any skilled physician will confirm this.
If you take impure water into the
body you'll find that the impurities
are not easy to dispose Of. Some of
them are bacterial and cause disease
if the system is low in tone. Others,
especially those in Southern California
waters, are mineral in character
These minerals cannot be assimilated
by the body nor are they readily
passed off. They become deposited
in the arteries a fertile cause of rheu-
matism and kidney troubles.
You're absolutely safe if you drink
Puritas Distilled Water. We distill it
twice. We aerate it with pure ozone.
We bottle it in clean glass demijohns,
so carefully that all its wholesome pur-
ity IS retained. Even the corks are
wrapped in foil in order that impure
air. dltering through a porous cork
may not contaminate the water in the
demiiohn.
We have been distllling Puritas for
years. our system is perfect-the
water is uniformly pure you can rely
upon it at all times. hundreds of Los
Angeles physicians recognize this,
using Puritas for themselves and pre-
s.ribng il in their practice.
Puritas is inexpensive. Five gallons
cost but 40c, delivered within the old
city boundary lines. At outside points
tine cost is a trlne more owing to the
long haul.
Regular Puritas customers purchase
Coupon Books, thus securing the pure
water at a discount When you tele-
phone ask Us about these. Home 1OOo3

Puritas Distilled Water can be OBJ
tanned through dealers in most towns

NEW TRAINS WILL Be
PUT ON SAN DIEGO RUN
Santa Fe Plans Additional Equip
ment to Accommodate Win
ter Tourist Travel

The Santa Fe railroad will begin
running two more trains between Los
Angeles and San Diego about the mid
die of January, according to j. j.
Byrne, assistant passenger traffic
manager. The trains win be in the
nature of experiments and are for the
accommodation of the large number of
tourists which are expected to arrive
in Southern California within the next
few weeks
Unless the travel demands it the
new trains viii remain in service only
through the months of January, Feb
ruary and March. They viii leave Los
Angeles and san Diego at exactly the
same tines o'clock in the afternoon
The one leaving Los Angeles has been
christened the Saint, while the one
leaving San Diego will be called the
Angel. Both trains will be limited
trains and first class throughout.
The leaving time of the present aft
ernoon train to San Diego, 2:16 p. m,
probably will be changed to 1:45 p. m.

gether Just when the trains will go
into service cannot be stated as the
traffic officials have not worked out

MAYOR GIVES VIEWS

THE police commission does not IN
tend to be hurried in its selection of a
chief of police by any newspaper agi-
tation or any other source" said Mayor
Alexander. Long before any news
paper published articles rejecting on
the administration of the police depart
ment and demanding a change in the
head Of the department the police COM
mission had been casting about for a
good man to take Chief Galloway's
place.
"Tenta tive proposals were made to
good men, but there has been no def
mite decision reached. When the COM
mission has a good man for the place
the change will be made and not before.
Newspaper articles have had the effect
Of delaying such a change rather than
accelerating it, for the police commits
sion does not intend to be forced into
AMI hasty action. When chief of po-
lice IS selected he Will be a man well
qualified for the place"

WHAT LOCAL OPTION WILL
MEAN If ADOPTED HERE

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sept. To-
The question of local optics and high
license will be voted upon at the gen
eral election in November, petitions to
that effect having been regularly filed
with the required number Of sigma
lures in Oklahoma City with Governor
Haskell. This means that the old
fight of three years ago between the
prohibitionists and anti-prohibitionists
will again be waged this fall with the
issue exceedingly doubtful. This is the
news that the telephone wires brought
from the capital city to Tulsa this
afternoon and it came from an auth
entic source Should this proposition
carry its provisions become operative
at once. Some of the most important
are:
Licenses shall not be granted ex
cept in cities where authorized by d
vote of the people. Licenses are 50.
600 per year for saloons and 1920 pei
year for medicinal purposes. 0ne-hali
the license goes to the city and the
other half to the county for roads and
bridges. There shall not be more
than one saloon for every 1000 peo
pie in any city. Saloons shall contain
no tables or chairs, partitions. blinds
or screens or stained glass. Treating
is forbidden as also is gambling In
any form. No drink shall be sold tc
minors or habitual drunkards. Sa
looms shall not be open on Sunday MOI
from midnight to a. m Convictions
for violations of this law means botf

WARRANT ISSUED
FOR JOHN FLACK
Formal Charge Of Forgery Is Made
Against Missing Cashier BY Di-
rectors of Abilene Bank.

Abilene, Kans., Sept. 1O.-Late Fri
day afternoon County Attorney Rugh
filed complaint sworn to by E. II.
Forney, one Of the directors of the
Abilene State bank, charging John A.
Flack, late cashier with forgery OF
note for $4,000. The name of James
Starchan, a wealthy retired farmer,
was signed to it. It had been sent to
the LaSalle National bank, Chicago,
as collateral, along with other paper
which a bank representative is here
to collect.
This charge will bring him back
from countries where mere embezzle-
ment would not, said Mr. Rugh, eand
we expect to push it"
1t is believed that Mrs. Flaek Will
lreturn because of the illness Of her
mother at Enterprise. she has writ
ten to relatives but gave no indica-
ton of her whereabouts.
An offer Of $4,000 for the FlacS
house and furniture bas been made
and it is probable the directors win
sell it and other property as rapidly
as possible.
More evidence that Flack has plenty
of money was found today Three
months ago he charged $4,000 to his
avVn acan41nf and 60 4nf few davc
later. While his statement on Aug
ust Is showed s25,0O0 in cash and
sight exchange, there was less than
$4O0 in currency in the vault when he
left. The statement, however prob
ably was false. The bank has salts
fed all depositors and the directors
say they are sure there will be nc
trouble for the institution, though
they have raised over $4,000 to meet
all obligations.
