Had Deep Thoughts, but Anyway
He Was Satisfied.

The athletic young woman who
taught the district school was on trial
for soundly thrashing seven unruly
boys.

The teacher smiled.

ERUPTION COVERED BODY

Three years ago this winter l had
a breaking out that covered my whole
body. It itched SO 1t seemed as II I
should 60 crazy. 1t first came out In
little pimples on my back and spread
till 1t covered my whole body and
limbs down to my knees, also my arms
down to my elbows. Where I
scratched It made sores, and the ter
rible itching and burning kept me
from sleeping. / tried several RENE
dies all to no purpose. Then I con-
cluded to try the Cuticura Remedies. I
used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. also the Resolvent. for
about four months, and they COM
pletely cured me of eczema. I have
had no return of the disease since. I
never had good nights rest after the
skin eruption first broke out till COM
menced using the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. I had only used them .
few days before l could see they were
beginning to heal. and the terrible
itching was gone.
Those that lived In the house at
the time know how I suffered. and
how the Cuticura Soap and Ointment
cured me- I never take q bath with
out using the Cuticura Soap. and I
do not believe there are better rem
edies for any skin disease than the

corps of detectives who cooperate
with the city police, 'and the moment

officers and carefully put away be-

Inside the show the utmost decorum
is observed. There are no scantily

MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO
IMPROVE CITY PARK LAND
Subscriptions are Beng Taken for
Funds to Level Ground in Read-
ness for Tree-Planting.

Through activities that have been
placed on foot this week ii is hoped
that a. Centro'S fine strip of park land
extending from the Date canal to the
Southern Pacific tracks, along Park
avenue, will be put into good condition
anu set with trees this winter.
Today subscription papers have
been prepared and have been placed
at The Press office, the First National
Bank, the Ell Centro National Bank
and Deloziers furniture store, for the
purpose of securing subscriptions to
a fund to be used in leveling the park
land and putting it IN condition for
tree planting.
1t is hoped that such a showing
can be made that citizens will be en-
abled to go before t e city trustees
next Tuesday night and present the
matter in such manner that it will
bring immediate action towards park
improvement
When the Holton Power Company
abandoned its open bitches through
this park land and substituted therefor
a concrete conduit, it left the bitches
as they were originally constructed.
On this land also are the settling ba
sins of the former water system. All
this land must be leveled before any
permanent work is done
1t is proposed to remove the fence
that now surrounds the park prop
erty, level the land ano set as many
trees as possible this season. Civic
organizations have expressed their
Willingness to cooperate in this move
ment and by a uniteC effort in one
seasons time this long strip of land
can be transformed from an unsightly
field to promising park.
Every citizen who is interested is
urged to subscribe some amount of
the pledges that are now being taken.
Do it now, so thatNa definite report
may be made to the city trustees next
week.

SUPPLEMENT WATER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-To sup
plement the supply of water for arid
lands under irrigation on government
reservoir projects, other than bringing
in new lands. not yet irrigated. is in
brief the general principle which Sec
retary of the Interior Fisher has de-
cided should apply to the disposal of
surplus waters stored in government
reservoirs.
This general principle however, he
announced. lis not to prevail over the
local conditions and circumstances
which may make the opposite course
seem wiser in any partiular: nor is Ii
10 be applied so as to encourage or
permit government projects
which may require the use OF water
from government reserv oirs, to extend
their areas in such manner as to
threaten a new deficiency in the wa
ter supply. Nom government projects

age and delivery upon an equitable

10000 WOMEN RICHTER

LOS ANGELES, Nov. lot is be-
lieved that the names of 10000 wom-
en- will have been listed when the
registration books for the city cleo
ton December close today. Great
enthusiasm has been manifested by
he women of Los Angeles, who Will
cast ballots for the first time under
the recently adopted amendment to
the state constitution giving women
the right of equal suffrage with men.
The most hotly contested mayoralty
campaign Los Angeles has ever known
is now in progress. Socialism over
shadows all other issues. Job Harri-
man, Socialist candidate for mayor
and one of the attorneys in the Nc
Namara trial, is opposing George
Alexander. the Republican, Good Gov
ernment incumbent. Socialists cast a
big vote in the primaries on October
81 and are confident that the present
regime will be overthrown. Women
were not eligible to vote in the pri-
maries, but thousands of them worked
in the residence districts for Harrl-
man, and the Socialist candidate eX-
poets to be elected largely by the as
.siStance of the fair voters. 1t is al
legged that thousands of women not
Socialists will vote for Hartman as a
protest against Gen. Harrison Gray
Otis, proprietor of the Los Angeles
Times, who opposed the granting OF
suffrage to women The long warfare
between union labor and capital in Los
Angeles also enters largely into the
equation.
Tons of Socialist literature have
been distributed in the homes of the
city in an effort to convert the women,
and the campaign will be kept up un-
til election day Grocers, bakers, meat
dealers and otner merchants of Social
istic sympathieS are assisting in the
educational crusade" by sending So
cialist books and leaflets with every
delivery of goods.
The registration Offices, which were
the former headquarters of the Wom-
an Suffrage League were thrOngd
today with women who mad put off reg
istering until the last moment. Even
women who cared nothing about the
franchise before the recent suffrage
campaign in California were "riled'
to the boiling point by the statements
of some of the political leaders that
,..e fair sex was unfit" and "toO ig
norant" to vote. If this spirit of in
dignation persists until December g
and the Socialists will try to see that
it does-the wiseacres are predicting
another explosion" in the Times Of
fee when the returns from the elec-
ton come in.
1t is whispered about that many
feminine social leaders have the cour-
Ua of fbair pnIitiaa1 onnvicfinnc and
that as a result the millinery shops
of Los Angeles expect to do big
business on the sixth of next month.
