DR.. BROWNS MODERN METHODS
New Scientific Treatment.

DR.. r. s. Brown finished a post
graduate course in auto-hemic therapy
under DR.. D. V. Ireland of Columbus,
O., also studied the treatment of all
rectal diseases, caused by constipa-
ton, piles, ETC., by electrical appli-
ances.
DR.. Brown has added to his office
equipment about $5O0.OO worth of elec-
trical apparatus for special treatment
of blood diseases, such as dropsy,
rheumatism, hardening of the arteries
and general improvement of the
blood. He has spared no money to
provide his patients With the most
modern methods of medical science.
Any person wishing to consult him
on these new treatments, may do so,
without being under obligation to Sc
cure his services. He wishes to ex-
plain the advantages of scientific
treatment by electricity in many cases
where surgical operations have here
tofore been the only cure. Several Of
his patients are relieved from chronic
complaints and speak in praise of the
new treatment.

In Los Angeles, CAL, November 5,
Mr.. Frederick M. Roberts, a well.
trained young business man, Repub-
lican candidate, was elected to the
state legislature from the 74th Assem-
bly, District. Mr.. Roberts Is the first
Colored man in California to be so
honored.
E Notwithstanding the fact that Rob-
erts won the Republican, nomination
at the August primaries in field OF
five aspirants, and which nomination
is always equivalent to an election,
strong efforts were made to defeat
him, on no issue other than race preju.
dice. His independent opponent gum.
shoed around the district passing out
his cards. Written on the back there
of was the inscription, "My Opponent
Is a Niger" All fair-minded people
resented this attack. Mr. Gahart, the
man who put it in vogue, was buried
under an avalanche Of votes. The
final count was Roberts, 1855; Ga
hart, 1,794, majority for Roberts of
726. .......
And thus the 74th Assembly Dis.
trict of the great State of California
presents a practical demonstration OF
real democracy, for be it known, with.
out the support of very considerable
part of the white voters in this dis
trict the election of Mr.. Roberts would
have been impossible. While in this
district there is a great big Colored
population, the same does not by any
means excel that of the white people.
Therefore the victory for democracy
is cleancut and unquestioned.-The

Mississippi Valley Association which
will draw the fastest boats in America
for the events which usually decide
the American championship. The time
and place of the 1918 meet remains
to be announced, but it is probable
that Peoria, the famous Western rae
ing center, will make bid for this
years classic, inasmuch as Peoria
produced one of the greatest boats of
1917, Miss Poeria," which still seeks
opportunity to nrove her claim to the
speed crown.
Other boats which are being de-
pended upon for the 1913 meets are
the world champion, Miss Detroit H.,
new Detroit boat to be known as
Miss Detroit's Sister," the 1916
champion Miss Minneapolis" and a
new boat which Chris c. Smith of AL
gonac, Mich, producer Of recent
champions, is said to be building as a
1918 record breaker. In addition to
this list of little fellows, all of
which are capable of speeds near or
above 60 miles an hour, is the big
"Disturber w., owned by Commo-
dore James A. Pugh of Chicago which
Is said to have made a speed in pri-
vate trials of over seventy miles an
hour more than year ago. Commo-
dore Pugh, who at one time an
nounced that he would not race any
where until after the war, is having
Disturbers engines overhauled and
made ready for the 1918 racing sea-
son. 1t is likely that In addition to
other Western events for 1918, ar
rangements will be made to stage a
big race in Chicago.

KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS UNITE
ON PROHIBITION WILL VOTE
NEXT WEEK

Frankfort, KY, January 17-As an
evidence of their sincerity in attempt
ing to secure the passage of the state
wide prohibition amendment, men,
bers Of the Beckham-Haley wing of
the Democrats in the legislature have
indicated that they will withdraw
their opposition to statewide bill in
PRODUCED by Representative Ballard,
of the Stanley faction.
This statement was made tonight by
several prominent members of the an
administration faction and is con-
sidered an adroit move. A member of
the house committee on constitution
al amendments said that an agree
ment had been reached IN the COM
mittee to report the Ballard bill on
Monday and fail to report the Wag-
goner bill, which has the backing of
the dry delegates, the Ballard bill will
be reported with amendments which
will make it almost identical with the
other bill. The Stanley men have con-
sented to the amendments and the
BeckhamHaley men have consented
to let the bill bear the name of Rep
resentative Ballard.
Whether this forecasts a return to
harmony in Democratic party is doubt
ed but it seems certain that on pro-
hibition the party has gotten together
The statewide bill is expected to
pass in both houses early next week,
the legislature adjourned this after
noon until Monday after a short ses-
sion in which large number of bills
were introduced in both houses.
