DON'T DOPE WITH
ALCOHOLIC TONICS.

This is honest advice for you who
are run down and sick-don't dope
with alcoholic "tonics." We're back
ing this advice with our personal guar
antee of satisfaction to you, or your
money back.
There are lot of so-calle3< 'tonics"
on the market that do not depend for
their short-lived popularity on any
real merit they possess, but upon the
fact that the alcohol in most of them
and the dangerous or habit forming
drugs in some of them give few
moments exhilaration and liveliness
after a dose is taken. After a while,
even this effect ceases to take place,
and the unfortunate patient, worse
off than before, turns for relief to
something else.
Don't dope yourself with such stuff.
Take real medicine that will do you
real good, that will supply to your
system the strengthening, disease-re-
lieving and disease-resisting ingre-
dients it needs. Take Rexall Olive
Oil Emulsion, and get we'll and keep
we'll. 1t is a real blood and nerve
food medicine. 1t contains no alcohol
nor other dangerous or habit-form-
ing drugs, but is made entirely from
ingredients needed to build up the
strength and health of the ailing.
You who are weak and run down,
and you who are apparently well now,
but are liable to suffer from various
cold weather ailments, use Rexall OIL
i've Oil Emulsion to get and keep well
and strong. For the tired-out, run
down nervous, emaciated or debilitat-
ed-the convalescing-growing child
ren-aged people-it is sensible aid
to renewed strength, better spirits,
glowing health.
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion-king
of the celebrated Rexall Remedies-is
for freedom from sickness of you and
your family. Pleasant-tasting-un-
like the cod liver oil preparations
you'll be as enthusiastic about it as
we are when you have noted its
strengthening, invigorating, building
up, disease-preventing effects. .f t

Experience on
A 40-acre Farm

What a farmer can do in the I'M
perial valley with 40 acres of land in
ordinary farm crops and usage has of
ten been the subject of conjecture,
but very seldom on solid basis OF
fact. But the Imperial Valley Press
has obtained actual facts on this i'm
rortant subject from the practical
ranching of Mr.. and Mrs. j. J. Rich,
of Holtville, which are the results OF
their experience the past year.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rich were both en-
gagged in merchandising before going
on their farm a little over a year
ago, and having been in the habit of
counting their income and outgo were
able to be exact. Their table and
personal expense are over and above
the amount given below, but they are
but two in the family.
Mr.. Rich made a nice bunch OF
money by shrewd buying of calves,
and that is not included, although the
pasturage would go long way on
their grocery bill. Omitting specu-
lative profits, here is the experience
of Mr.. Rich as a criterion for other
business men who have small prop
erty and who wish to live in the
healthy air and soft climate of ths
Imperial valley. Mr.. and Mrs. Rich
received over and above their living

Many Criminals
Raiding L. A.

Los Angeles, Dec. 9.-From the
east and north criminals have de-
scended like cataract upon Los An
geles and stern steps are being taken
by the police to cope with them. New
records for banditry have been estab-
lished. The authorities are engufed
with the great number of reports of
violence. They warn the people to be
on their guard and to be constantly
vigilant.
1t is the accompanying violence
that has made this crime wave par
ticularly dreaded, The police are
skirmishing with every resource to
combat the horde of incoming unde-
sirables.
Almost as if the vicious had fads
and fashions like the milliners and
clothiers, the present rage in crime is
banditry. The shifty and nerveless
accomplish sneaking holdups under
dark trees where the chance of de-
lection is slight
The bold walk into stores, Offices
and trains and loot their prey in the
shadow Of a revolver.
For weeks before the wave came
tapping down the west coast of the
mountains and bounding into Los An
geles Chief of Police Sebastian had
been predicting it. Captain Flammer
had instructed the detectives to watch
out for the doubtful men. The city,
from the police attitude, stood at de-
fense.
In the past the arrival of the an
nual winter school of thieves would
be heralded by minor acts of theft,
eliminating in important jobs. This
year has been signalized by most
unusual minority of thefts compared
with the more violent crimes.
Thieves and bandits and vagrants
herd together, with the old compulsion
OF the maxim about birds of similar
plumage. Where one is found there
is the other, says the record of the
police department.
So the attack against all the new
comers of the doubtful class has be-
gun. Today it is begun with renewed
energy, for an entirely new institu-
tion in police work has been inaugu-
rated and is now ready for active
service.
The old and experienced detectives,
who have acquired that remarkable
instinct described as "thief -wise,"
have been detailed to 60 about the
city and locate every possible crook
with whom they are familiar.
Twenty-Five new detectives, work
ing under the direction of Detective
George Holme, an accomplished vet
eran of the detective bureau, have
taken the responsibility of taking the
aggressive in the city's line of de-
fense.
1t is they who are to ferret out the
1oosting places of the criminals and
drive them from the city.
They finished their week Of prelim-
mary training yesterday. Even be-
fore they had begun the real work
their influence was felt. Word came
from Newhall that hundreds of
Imperial Valley press., 1913-12-09

tramps stopped there and refused to
come on to Los Angeles when they
heard that the new squadron was at
work driving the unemployed and va
grant away from the loafng places.
At Yuma more than 200 tramps had
collected in a few hours, drifting in
on every train.
Word had come to them that Los
Angeles was on the alert and that
they were unwelcome. They have
taken the hint.
