HOME HEALTH CLUB.

(By DR.. David H. Reeder, Chicago. }
Diarrh0ea--In this affliction nature
is doing all it can to right itself. 1t
is an effort on the part of nature to
rid the person afflicted of offending
material that might otherwise be fa-
tally dangerous. Hence to check the
diarrhoea suddenly means to take
chances with the patients life, or
health
OF course the thing to do is to aid
nature, which means to remove the
cause of the trouble by sensible
means. A plentiful and thorough enc
ma Of water warmed to about 95 de-
grees, is the first thing to be given,
thus to cleanse the colon and prepare
1t for the extra work it must do.
After the enema has had its effect,
give large dose of castor oil, gagged
in size by the capacity of the pa
tient, in years and strength, to take
1T. That is to say, give to chiIo
what would be generous dose for a
child and to a grown man what would
be a generous dose for him. This
treatment is radical and will always
prove effective if there are no com.
plications, which, generally there are
not. 1t is usually and simply a case
of over-eating, or the eating of stuff
that is unfit for the human stomach
green apples-and such, for in
stance, in boy. Some sort of pain
killer or other diarfhpea patent medi-
cine might give temporary relief and
sound sleep, but the causes not hav-
ing been removed the danger will in
crease every hour.
After the enema and castor oil have
had the full effect, give the patient
blackberry cordial-which should al
ways be kept in homes where there
are children, or others, liable to dar-
rhoea or stomach-ache, from the
cause suggested. This cordial should
be made at home and it is simple
though excellent remedy, easily pre-
pared as follows:
Take Of common blackberries, thor
oughly ripe, enough To extract from
them "A quart of juice-more may be
prepared in the same proportions as
to the other ingredients-cove the
berries with water in the vessel in
which they are to be prepared; heat

THE Los ANGELES COMMITTEES
REPORT,

Elsewhere in this issue we give
space to an article from the Los An
geles Examiner relative to the report
Of the chamber of commerce commit
tee that visited the San Juan basin
the first Of the month. 1t is report
that should encourage every citizen
interested in the growth and prosper
ity Of this great southwest. 1t IS
more flattering than our people ever
dreamed. Coupled with the spepdid
statistics that are being gathered it
means that capital is bound to be
secured to build the connecting nnk.
The situation is certainly the bright
est for long time.
But our people must understand
that the main work is yet to be ac-
complished. Only good start has
been made. 1t is going to take some
money to keep the movement under
way. And it is going to be forth
coming. The Herald has absolute con-
fidence in the business interests and
property owners. They are going to
furnish the necessary funds to carry
on the work The entire basin will
be benefited and the different sections
should equally bear the expense.
There should be no shirking-no dog
in the manger policy. If we are to
secure the coveted prize the drones
will have to take back seat. The
wheels of progress are headed this
way.
Do your part.

FROM BUSY cENTERs
Stories of Real Life as Told by
Wire, from Every section Comes
Tales OF the Busy world.

NEW YORK, July 30.--Police Lieu
tenant Charles A. Breckcr was in
dicted by grand jury last night, ar
rested, arraigned and sent to the
Tombs on charge Of plotting the
murder of Herman Rosenthal.
The public prosecutor today contin-
ued his search for evidence that would
implicate those higher up than Breck-
er and more indictments Of police off
cials is expected by the district at
torney.
The arrest of Brecker lays bare q
scandal in the police department that
threatens to shake it to its founda-
tions, for District Attorney Whitman
believes the story Of nolice graft has
only been half told.
The indictment of Brecker charges
murder Of first degree and came as
the result of confessions made by
Jack Rose, "Bridgyv Webber and Har-
ry Vallon.
This man Rosenthal has lived toe
long. You fellows must get him
Rose has failed - pull the job off a.
expected" Brecker is quoted as ex.
claiming TO Webber. "Now, Webber
your men have got to do away witt
Rosenthai. Since Rose has failed, il
is up 70 you to give the sign; you have
got the money"
Tie witnesses admitted that Breck
er had been collecting graft from tn.
gamblers for long time. Rose sait
he had been the collector. Webbel
and Vallon bore out this statement
by telling how much they had pait
Rose each week for police protection
The total amount collected each month
is admitted to be large sum,
Rose in confessing his guilt ant
the details of how the murder wal
planned, made pitiful plea for mer
cy. He said:
at was necessary for me to ODE,
the orders of Brecker, it was the onl,
way in which ! could make living
We (refe.- ing to the gamblers) con
sidered him the biggest man in tn,
police department.
"Brecker told me in the presence o.
others at the last conference when th'
killing of Rosenthal was discussed
that if he didn't do away with hi
enemy he would place pistols on VI
and send us to prison for seven years
So we did the job"

American women and children have
poured into Ell Paso since Sunday mid

change in rulership of the japanese
empire, caused by the death early this
morning of Mutsuhito and the aeces-

The announcement is made of the
name under which Che new era is to

every reign and an official decree says
the new designation is to be Taisei in
place of Meiji as it was during the
reign of Mutsuhito.
Calm reigns throughout the empire
today and the nation for the moment
appears completely overcome with
sorrow, with all the people in signs
Of mourning, and all festivities and
public functions stopped.
In the meantime the great state
functionaries, including cabinet min
isters, privy councillors and leading
notables, confer almost constantly at
the imperial palace where they are
making arrangements for the funeral
and for the ceremonial of the off
ciaI mourning and the lying in state
of the dead emperor.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 3d.
No change in the Roman Catholic
church law relating to the marriages
of Catholics with non-C Catholics in the
United States has been made by the
recent order of the pope affecting
such cases, according to Manager Bo-
naventura Cerietti, secretary of the
papal legation.
Manager Ceretti said today that
the order as explained from Rome
simply restored force to the provision
of the church law governing mixed
marriages in Germany and Hungary
which had been suspended in the early
nineteenth century. This provision
allowed priests to attend as witnesses
to mixed marriages where the prin-
cipals decline to follow the church
law.
Manager Ceretti said all provisions
of the decree "Ne temere" are still in
force in the United States and Eng
land.

FASHIONS FOR RAINY DAYS
Divided Skirt is Practical, as 1t Does
Away With Health Endangering
Petticoats.

What a pity the divided skirt was
introduced in the spring when we
were on the Threshold of a delightful
summer! If the inventors of this style
of skirt had but launched it at the
present time, when wet weather makes
the divided skirt seem plausible, it
might have had something of chance
But the jupe cullotte made its appear
ance at an inauspicious time and
now they are absolutely dead or worn
with a secrecy which does not force
their masculinity upon the long-suffer-
ing public.
OF the slashed skirt we are quite
tired, save for few more or less &C.
centric survivals in the ballroom. and
even with the triangular opening filed
in by a piece of contrasting material
this style though attractive, is no
longer new.
AS a rainy day accessory the divid-
ed skirt should be welcomed. 1t is
practical, as it does away with petit
coats, which are positively harmful to
health on a rainy day, and it may be
made so unobtrusive that even the
most prudish could not object to this
form of dress.

BEST WAY TO WASH THE HAIR
Matter Is Especially important Now
That Women Wear the Hair
Flat.

The washing of the hair is especial
ly important now that the hair is worn
fiat. and hair not properly washed
might just as well not be washed at
all. Partisan beauty doctors are using
hair washing paste, the foundation
of which is powdered soap. You COW
er the powder with boiling water, add
some borax and orris root with lit
tie sachet powder of your favorite
scent, and you are ready to begin
When it is all of a bubble, you take
it off the fire and stir in some whole
oatmeal. When it cools it is ready for
use; if a very high perfume is de-
sired some oil of rose geranium is
added. You VIII then have a jelly, not
very clear because of the oatmeal and
orris, but smelling delightfully."-.
After the paste is thoroughly worked
in, the rinsing must be begun. Many
women do not understand how difficult
it is 10 rinse the hair properly; the
trouble is that the individual hairs are
coated with soap and the water must
be hot and used with force to get the
soap out. That is the theory and
secret of it,

SHAKE-UP To Be MADE
In BOARD OF HEAL 4
Claimed DR.. Harris Will Be
EXODpFdtCd

Atlanta, January 9.-With Hon
Robert F. Maddox, of Atlanta, the new
apointee, sitting in the place of DR.
Willis F. Westmoreland, resigned, the
state board of health is in session to-
day It the capitol.
The chief business before the board
is the sensational affair that has
grown up around the charges filed by
DR.. Westmoreland against DR.. H. F.
harris, secretary of the board. Dr.
WestrUreland charged that DR.. Harris
vas guilty of business irregUlarity
neglect of duty, graft and wilful care
iossr in sending out improperly
lat eled diptheria anti-toXin, thus put
ting the lives Of many children in
danger, and causing the death of
some.
It IS known that the board stands
with DR.. Harris, and is consequently
taken for granted that he will be en-
onerated, no ioatter how the new
member, Rcber' F. Maddox, may vote
IN the matter. However, there is a
disposi''r, on Il & part of persons Ia
terested here not to let the matter
drop in the board, but to take steps
coward following the affair up WITH a
l'pi>!ativ investigation
In appointing a business man, in
stead Of doctor to the board, Gov
e,ror Slaton has taken a new depar-
ture SO far as recent precedent is
concerned hut he believes it will make
the board stronger. 1t is entirely
within the law, as the law says "a
majority" of the members of the state

WHIPPING BAD KIDS AS
BEST CURE IN DALTON

Dalton, Ga, January 9.-The local

of other similar courts, and has bark

which has been found unusually eff
fective in dealing with juvenile Grim
inals. All of those convicted and
whipped have, up to the present, been
negroes.
The method of punishment is not pat
into practice by the men connected
with the court, as in olden times, but
is handed out by parent or brother
of the culprit.

For the silver Mesh Bag.

On account of its durability the sill
yer mesh bag will not go out of exist
ence for some time to come. In fact
as there is a wide sale of them still
being made, it is wise to keep them
in the highest luster of which you are
capable. Where there is nothing but
silver in the makeup of your bag the
best cleaner is a rather strong solu
ton of ammonia and water, in which
the bag can be boiled for a short
space of a minute, and then shook
about in it so as to dislodge every
little particle of dust. You will be
surprised how much dust this process
will show UP.

TROUBLE RESULTS
FROM CIRCUS DAY

Circus day in Irvington yesterday was
marked by a thrilling chase through the
mud and marsh which ended in the ar
rest of John Dillon, 81 years old, said by
the police to be a notorious ~pickpocket.
He was taken into custody by Lieuten-
ants Ryan. Farrell and Gaffney, oil the
local detective bureau. His three compan-
ions, however, managed to make a get
away.
Dillon was later arraigned before Re
corder Turton in the lrvington Police
Court on a charge of attempted theft.
He was held In default of a s25 fine.
This morning he was committed to the
county jail.
The local detectives say that Dillon is
a Westerner, and that he n his com
panions are following the circus. When

ant Gaffney he said that he was a local
resident and a taxpayer, and protested
his innocence
Several arrests were also made by the
