FEEL FINE.

him to open a 50-cent case of Pape's

The correct name for your trouble is
food fermentation-acid stomach-food
souring: the digestive organs become
weak, there is lack of gastric juice; your
food is only half digested, and you be-
come affected with loss OF appetite

this fermentation and begin eating
what YOU want without fear OF discon-

Almost instant relief is waiting for

At the Strand.

May Murray. a favorite and capa bic
motion picture actress. is cast in role
which gives her opportunity to act, and
which makes good picture because of
the novelty of the surroundings. The
Plow Girl is the title OF the film
shown to large audiences at the Strand
Sunday evening. There is a story which
is like many other plots. of lost
heiress, discovered by poor young
man, who of course falls in love with
her.
1t is not the story, however. which
makes this picture. 1t is the scenic
effects and the acting of the principal
characters. South Africa. a new back
ground for the movies" is taken for
the first few reels of this production.
Miss Murray is cast as Margot the
slave Of drunken farmer. played with
remarkable dramatic effect by Theo-
dore Roberts. John Stoddard comes to
find the lost heiress, saves Margot from
the brutal treatment Of the farmer.
takes her back to England, where it is
discovered she was the heiress all the
time.
Many tense dramatic scenes are put
across in this picture, noticeably those
with Theodore Roberts, where weird
lighting effects gave extraordinary re-
suits. Miss Murray Is pretty and
sweet. and her acting was good. Theo-
do,e Roberts was excellent az the Boer
farmer and the remainder of the cast
was good.

FROM BACKACHE?

When your kidneys are weak and

their functions: your back aches and

and to borrow trouble, just as il you
hadn't enough already. Don't be a vic
tim any longer.
The old reliable medicine. Hoods Sar-
saparilla, gives strength and tone to the
kidneys and builds up the whole system.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is a peculiar com
bination Of roots. barks and herbs No

StOddard Jess Denies
Some Alleged Promises

The statement has been made with apparent author
ty that Stoddard Jess of the First National Bank of Los
Angeles had promised to finance the settling basin pro-
posed by Chief Engineer lockwood and this has been
used inspire confidence in the present management Of
The district.
The statement has also been made that Engineer
Anderson named for the consulting board by Mr..
Jess Both of these statements entirely repudiated
by Mr.. Jess.
Joseph F. Seymour, Jr. who has just returned from
Los Angeles said this morning:
"Monday l called Mr.. Jess and asked him
whether he had made such promise to Mr.. lockwood
to anyone else regarding financing the settling basn
and Mr. Jess stated that he had promised $50OO0
$3.50 or any to the district Mr.. Jess said:

"a hostile airship crossed the east
coast shortly before midnight last

Hear Jordan.

If any perosn tells you that Hiram
J Johnson is not entitled to your support
upon the ground of alleged party If
regularity, read to him this statement
re Gently made by Frank c. Jordan, re-
dictionary secretary of state and chief
sponsor for the Booth campaign in
the northern part of the state:
"The Republicans of California are
determined to elect as senator from
this state either a Republican or a
Democrat. johnson is neither. We
are tired of this non-partisan business.
We regard a loyal Democrat as far
preferable to Johnson"
If Frank Jordan accurately voices
the reactionary sentiment in this state,
and he assumes that he does, then the
reactionaries who are determined to
beat Johnson with Republican if they
can, and if not with Republican then
with a Democrat, themselves are the
ron-partisans.
Did you ever notice how frequently
it happens that those who preach
party regularity the most practice it
the least?
The one argument" which the
Frank Jordan kind of Republicans are
making against Hiram Johnson is bas-
ed on his lack of regularity That
Johnson believes in protection and in
preparedness and that he is enthusias-
tically supporting Charles E. Hughes
makes no difference to them. They de-
clare that he is the 'most prominent
AID intolerant enemy Of the Republi-
can party in the state.
But the average citizen cannot see
where reactionary bosses while threat
ening to bolt the Republican ticket un
less they can have their own way have
any particular license to attack any
other person on the ground of party
III egularity.
How extremely silly seems to be the
pretended objection of the reactionary
bosses to the selection of Johnson to
be the Republican candidate for United
States senator in view of the reaction
ary threat to support a Democrat

piled that he did. He then asked if he would recon-

"Mr. Jess further stated that Mr.. Sartor of the

did first feel free it. and yesterday he called
Mr. Jess for permission to and quote the interview

complete denial Of their claims by Mr.. Jess is highly
amusing and instructive.
