and had accused Miss Lesser of
running around with other men.
The defense had announced 1t ex-
pected to present long arguments
against admission of an alleged con-
Wis, leading counsel for New. made
only a brief, though vigorous, OBJ
lection.
The alleged confession was laid
before the jury through the testi-
mony of E. j. Davidson. Davidson
testified he was on duty as desk SER
geant at Central Police Station, when
New entered his office and. laying a
revolver on the witnesses desk. told
him he had killed girl. According
to Davidson. New said he had killed
her in Topanso Canyon.
The witness said he and the three
men accompanied New to an auto.
mobile and there found the body OF
Miss Lesser.
New then re-entcred the station
and made formal confession, Da.
wilson said, which was reduced te
writing. In this alleged confession
New said he killed the girl because

CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE TOR :CA- TARRH, CATARRHAL DEAFNESS
 AND HEAD NOISES.

If you know of someone who is troubled with catarrhal deafness. head noises or ordinary ca tarrh, cut out this formula and hand it to them. and you
 may have been the means of saving some poor sufferer perhaps from total deafness. In England scientists for 9 long time past have recognized that necessarily requires constitutional trea tmeut.
 sprays, inhalers and nose douchea are liable tD irritate the delicate air passages and force the disease into the middle ear, which frequently means to- tai deafness. IT else the disease may be driven down the air passa ges towards the lungs, which is equally as danger ous. The following formula, which Is used extensively in the damp English climate. is a constitutional treatment and should prove especially cfhcacious to sufferers here who live under more eavorable climate conditions.
 Secure from your druggist i ounce of Parmint (double stren gth) Take this homo and add tu it ia pint of hat
 water and 2 little ErauHlated sugar spoonful four tiwes a day. Thts Mil often bring quick relief from distress- ing head noises. CloEEed nGStrfis should open, breathing become essy and hearing improve 3G, the jnnawms .. ton in the eUstachian tubes is reduced Parmint used in this waH acts directly upon the blood and mucolts surfaeee, Of the system and has a toniA action flat helps to obta In the desired results. The preparation Is easy to make costsalit- tie and is pleasant to take. Every per son who has catarrh or head noises or is hard of henrinG should give khfe treatment trial.

WOOD TELLS OF MILITARY
 NEEDS OF THE COUNTRY

Washington, Sept. IA regular ar my of 22J,eoo to 35o.00 coupled with a system of universal military train ing that would provide an organized reserve, is ample for the present needs Of the country. Major General Econ ard Wood. commander of the Central Department, declared today before the senate military committee. In mak- ing his recommendations. General Wood disagreed wholly with the more or less tentative war department bill based on a regular force of 5e0,0oo. General Wood also differed from the war department in the amount of
 training to be given reservists. He held that three months training was
 too short and recommended six months. The one point on which he
 was in accord with the department appeared to be the need of strong general staff, although he said he had not given the administration bill suf- fcient attention to treat 1t in detail.
 The Central Department commander also favored an independent air ser vice, but did got approve creation of an air minister or cabinet officer to head the department.
