A Great Conspiracy to Defeat the
Water Bonds.

Five men are banded together and
are holding star chamber sessions,
each one sworn to secrecy, to defeat
the mineral springs bond issue and
divert the benefits to their own per-
sonal gain. This is authentic, and
exposed by one who was present. The
plot is to bring the water from the
old lithia spring to the city limits
and there erect a hotel or a sanitar-
ium. If they find the cost too great,
large hotel will be built at the
springs and connected with the city
by auto tally-ho.
Now, brother taxpayer, can you af-
ford to allow a handful Of men to
steal your birthright and take advan-
tage of the free advertising so gener-
ously offered by the Southern Pacific
Railway Company? Take no chanc-
es. Work and vote for the bonds.
They have already flooded the city
with circulars in opposition to the
bonds, at their own expense.

MoTHER-IN-LAw's vINDICATIoN.

Though long ago the mother-in-law
joke was put on the shelf by persons
with a keen sense of justice, it is
gratifying TO learn. from an official
source, that it never had much war
rant in fact
Investigation by the Brooklyn do
mestic relations court of some 500
cases of family smashes reveals that
mother-in-law figured as a cause in
less than per cent.
Nearly half traced right back to
booze; an eighth to "other women, -
and most of the rest to laziness, jeal-
ousy, incompatibility and gambling.
Instead of being a force for dis
cord and separation, mother-in-law
is most patient, long-suffering and
sympathetic adjuster of difficult situ-
ations.
Take your own case, Mr.. Man.
When you marched up to the Only
Girls ma and told her you were go
ing to take daughter away, didn't the
old lady kiss and bless you and then
work her fingers to the bone making
things for the new home? Even
when her heart was full to bursting
with thoughts OF losing the pride of
the flock did she ever crouch or
grumble-didn't she show brave
face and go to the limit with thou
sand little kindnesses to ease you
way?
And then, when, later on, the stork
was lowering above your door, and
you were flustered and wife was all
a-flutter, who was it took hold,
brought order out of chaos, like a
practiced general bore the brunt OF
the household arrangements and
brought yourself, wife and the wee
one through an ordeal you thought
would never end?
Mother-in-law, of course.
Indeed, when you take the pains
to think back along life's troubled
course, you're apt to find that you
owe a mighty big lot to that derided
mother-in-law of yours.
A jok's all right when it is a joke
without a sting; and mother-in-law
is usually good enough sport to join
in the laugh even when it is unfairly
at her expense.
IL you joke with her as a means
OF showing a mans clumsy good will,
that's all right.
But look here, old top. don't you
dare 20 tip a joke at mother-in-law
with a barb OF malice.

Don't Hide Them With a Veil; Re-

Prescription.

This prescription for the removal
of freckles was written by a promi-
nent physician and is usually so sue
cessful in removing freckles and Civ

it is sold by druggists under guaran-
tee to refund the money if it fails.
Don't hide your fTeckles under a
veil get an ounce of othine and re-

is sold on the money-back guarantee

ker, the Chicago capitalists. whose good
will was considered essential, and the
league president declared the position of
the organization was good enough now to
satisfy anybody.

a secret meeting here, dec ined to give
out anything that took place at 1t. Pres.
