The Woman of POise,

Once a rariety, is now to be OBJ
served and admired upon every
hand. Indeed, no other woman
can flourish long in the midst of
this modern, complicated life. In
the home, in bushes, in social life,
the woman who is serene and con-
fident wins, while the nervous,
fustered individual wastes her tai
ents and gets nowhere. Of course,
poise is dependent mainly upon
sound health and steady nerves.
If you feel that you are being kept
back in this way, why not turn to
that great woman's remedy, Lydia
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, which was manufactured
from a thorough understanding Of
the nervous system of women

candidates are Senator KendTick,
democrat, and Frank w. Mondell,
present republican leader in the

COURT REFUSES
TO DISMISS CASE
AGAINST KLEAGLE


Los Angeles. Cal, Aug. "a
There is enough evidence in the
case against G. w. Price, former
king kleagle, and w. S. Coburn,
former grand goblin of the Ku
Klux Klan here to justify submit
ting it to the jury. This was the
ruling of Judge Frederick w.
Houser, presiding at the trial of
these two and 81 others here to-
day, when he denied motions to
dismiss the indictments against
them.
Judge Houser said from the
bench that the cases against
Price and Coburn were not strong
but that there was a bare posi-
bility that there was enough in
the case from which an inference
might be drawn" He said he did
not want his ruling to be taken as
precedent in case Of future mo-
tions In the same case.
The defendants are all charged
by indictment with felonies all
legged to have been committed in
the course of masked raid on the
home of the Elduayen brothers at
lnglewood, near here last April.
The state closed It's case last week
and motions to dismiss followed.
After Judge Houser ruled on the
motion for Price and Coburn to-
day, another motion was present
ed on behalf of j. G.. Baum, an
other defendant, and argument
was begun.

dependence, The county court
awarded a contract to the Dennis
Construction company at $1.45
per yard, this contract calling for
a three inch asphalt concrete sur

'pected that there will be suffi-
cient. money on hand to lay the

share in the project the county
court is drawing upon the mar
ket road fund.
