tuberculosis Cured BY Gas.

New York, Oct. 2.-The discovery
Of new gas, which the inventor
claims will render possible the arti-
fetal production in any room of at
mospheric conditions to combat tuber-
culosis, was announced here today
The gas is made by combining
ozone, or air treated with electricity,
with pinine, the essence of turpen-
tine. This air is allowed to permeate
the air in room and can be breathed
without the slightest irritation.
The inventor of the gas, William
J. Knox, chemist, stated that the
gas has been in use for the past three
months at Bellevue hospital, the Met
ropolitan hospital on Blackwell's IS
land and by several physicians out
side of hospitals.
Zone of the chief features of this
gas" said Mr.. Knox, "is that it will
enable physicians to reproduce in any
room, whether in hospital or private
house, atmospheric conditions such as
are found only in high attitudes, where
every consumptive has an excellent
chance for recovery.
"The reason is that practically al
so-called bad air is air which con-
tains the normal amount of oxygen,
but in which the oxygen is for some
reason inert. By flooding a room
with this new gas the oxygen will be
put in such shape as to be readily
taken up by the hemoglobin of the
blood and used as an oXydizer, which
function the bad air will not per
form
Tests have been made upon d
number of tuberculosis patients and
in all cases marked improvement
has taken place"
More than a hundred patients suf-
fering with tuberculosis have been
treated by Dr. Bertram H. Waters of
the Riverside hospital

Has Big Program
Of Many Reforms

Washington, Oct. 2--The first ap-
pearance of the new revolutionary
platform of the Pinchot- Racord wing
of the Progressive party, as enun-
ciated in New Jersey, in the Congress
sional Record, is due to Representa-
tive John I. Nolan of San Francisco.
He offered in the House on September
1S, for publication September 20, an
article by Richard Caverly of the San
Francisco Labor Council on the "Hign
Cost of Living: The Cause and Rem
edy." In this paper the New Jersey
platform is advocated. Five forms
of privilege should be abolished" il
declares, "in order to properly regu-
late prices and restore prosperity %
all the people. First, the franchise
privilege, such as railways, telephones
and telegraph lines, gas and water
works; Second, the privilege of land
monopoly, by eXempting everything
that man produces from taxation, and
taxing land values for city, state and
national purposes so as to take all
the unearned increment of land for
public use Third, patent-monopolv
privilege, by abolishing monopolistic
ownership of patents, but allowing
the privilege, by giving the govern
ment full control of the banks of the
country. Fifth, the protective-tariff
privilege, by abolishing all forms Of
indirect taxation, which farm out to
individuals or corporations the col
lection of taxes.'

HOTEL PROJECT MEETS
WITH MUCH ENTHUSIASM

Brawley News: Keen interest III
the movement to secure a new hotel
at Brawley, commensurate with its
growing Importance was shown at
a meeting of business men and prop
erty owners, held Friday evening at
the rooms of the Brawley Club. 1t
was decided to offer an adequate site
as bonus for structure costing not
less than $4,000, the value of the site
approximately $4,000.
Three different proposals were un-
der consideration. One, related by
Peter P Hovley, called for the dona-
tion of site and $4,000 bonus. In re-
turn for this consideration, 70-roorl
hotel will be constructed.
A. P. Higgins, president of the
Farmers and Merchants Commercial
Club, had the hotel proposition un-
der consideration with John D. Reavis,
the we'll known promoter, and No. )
property owner, and with his asso-
ciates. This company asked S10,-
900 bonus for a $4,000 to 100000
hotel Attorney F j. Birkhauser rep
resented another plan, but he said
that until the present financial strin-
gency Is somewhat relieved. his asSo-
ciateS will not be able to carry their
plan through \ fun discussion was
given all the points involved. includ-
ing the imperative need for more ade-
quate accommodation if the growth
of the district is not to be hampered.
Among those who spoke were Peter p.
Hovley, Philo Jones. L. J. Birkhauser,
Thomas O'Brien, George Gay. w. F.
Beal and A. 2. Higgins. who was
chosen to preside.
Following the deliberations a COM
mittee was chosen to secure options
on several sites, and to obtain sub
scriptions sufficient to guarantee d
site to the promoters OF hotel pro-
ject Members of this committee are.
Hovley. Philo Jones. F. j. Birkhauser,
hauser and W. F. Beal.
Without delay nearly $4,000 in su! =
scriptions from those present was Sc
cured toward the $4,000 deemed nee
essary to purchase the proper site.
The committee is actively at work
and the members expect to secure the
full amount before the end of the
week
With definite proposal to make,
the business men and property own
ers who have undertaken the hotel
project, expect to be in a better posi-
tion to consider offers of construc-
ton.
Few cities in California show f.
greater growth than Brawley. Post
office, railroad, express, telephone
and telegraph business, all tell a Won
derful tale of expansion. Yet the
leading boosters believe that if ample
accommodations were provided for
new comers, the prosperity of this 10
cality would be enhanced.

infamy in this world and prepares
them only for perditon in the life

upon the cause which prompted ap

in strict harmony with the motive

In conclusion:
while it Is true that courts should
not discriminate in their administra-
tion of law as to individuals, yet
there are cases where the character
and makeup of a defendant, taken
with his conduct and acts and MS
ability and capacity to know right
from wrong, shows him to be entitled
to a less charitable consideration at

are altogether legal, just and right

Does the splendid citizenship Of

Who wants to sound the retreat?
Who wants to retrograde? How
many competent men can be found
who would accept position as alder

If we repeal the charter, which

LIKE FIRE OF eoTToMLEss PIT.

Judge Furman of the court OF
criminal appeals, in handing down an
opinion affirming the finding of the
lower court, wherein the wrecker OF
g home and the attempted assassin
of the husband whom he had wrong
ed had been sentenced to prison
term, made use Of some OF the most
vitriolic expressions, couched, how
eer in the most perfect verbiage OF
the English language. in transcribing
his views upon illicit love-" while
he, at the same time, paid a glow
ing tribute to the glories and the
beauties OF a pure and holy affection
the affection sanctioned by law, by
society and by Deity.
In rending the opinion, Judge Fur
man said in part:
This case illustrates the debasing
ann depraving effects of Illicit love.
Both sacred and profane history fur
nsh many examples showing that
Illicit love is most powerful mo-
tive for and fruitful source of assas-
sination.
The blackest pages in English
history grew out of the Illicit loves
of Henry the Eighth. The case OF
David and Uriah's wife shows to what
treachery and degradation Illicit love
will reduce those who permit 1t to
find lodgment in their hearts and to
polute their lives. Pure love is the
cause of all self sacrifice and the
handspring of all that is noble among
the achievements of men. 1t Is like
fire taken from the altar of heaven.
1t purifies, ennobles and lifts men
up and makes them nearer to and
more like their God. 1t is indeed
the emotion that sums all bliss; the
spring head of all felicity; the silken
down of happiness complete; the
sparkling cream of all times blessed
ness, the center 10 WHICH all HuIudli
beings gravitate; the emblem of God.
1T has been well said:
who happy and not eloquent OF love?
Who pure and as it is true,
Not a temple where its glory ever
dwells
Where burn its fires and beams its
perfect eye?'
illicit love is exactly the reverse
of all this. The imagination cannot
conceive and language cannot describe
the blackness and despair, the degra-
dation, shame, misery, suffering and
woe which it brings to the innocent
as well as to the guilty. 1t Is like
fire taken from the very furnace OF
hell. IT burns up, consumes and de-
stroys all that is pure and noble in
the hearts OF men and women.
1T sinks them beneath the level OF
