 From Solution

Los Angeles, Nov. 17.-IIarry I. katz, diamond connolsseur, musician and real estate operator. who was shot down at the door of his lux urious apartment last Monday eve ming, has carried the mystery of death and the identity Of his slayer to his grave.

 A modest casket, covered with flowers offered by many of the 200 friends and relatives who attended the ceremony, held the remains of the slain man who had expressed a pleasure in expensive automobiles, sparkling gems and antique art ob- jects.
 The cortege was escorted by a picked squad of detectives, request cd by a brother, Morris Katz, who feared | demonstration from some quarter which he could not explain. There was no disturbance.
 By his death, Katz left an appar- ently insolvable murder mystery to city and county detectives, which they virtually admit will be added to Los Angeles list of unsolved homicides.

PREACHERS PLAY GUNMAN'S FUNERAL
Chicago CIersymen DeplOre Eu-
 lOsiZins Vice

| Chicago, Nov. 17.--Caustlc com ments were heard from two pulpits here yesterday on the Dion O'Banion funeral, Dr, John Thompson, in the Church Temple, expressed the fear that the hero worship for O'Banion, the slain gunman and bootlc ggcr, whose burial was at tended by so many spectacular fea~ lures, would have a demoralizlns effect on the youth of Chicago. ] Dr A. J. Mccarthy in the Ken. wood church pointed to the incident as indicating that "somethng is wrong with the whole system ot criminal procedure"
 Here is a man said to have been implicated in twenty-five murders buried with the pomp and ceremony of a king" Dr. Thompson said, His body Is laid in a $l0.O00 caskct i Of silver and around him are spread the most costly flowers money could buy Great throngs of people eagerly watch the spectacle and the press portrays every incident, in car toon and story.
 What are the youth Of our city to think about 1t? It is a sad com mentary on our civilization that criminal can become the center of interest in great city like this.
 "The revelations that have come out Of the O'Banion tragedy show the influence that the criminal classes, high and low, have in so- 1 ciety. No man could so so long in crime without being apprehended and punished if he did not have &C., compltces and sympathizers.
 The churches are partly 10 blame for such condition because they spend their time in theological con- troversy instead Of getting together az a unit in fighting condition which, all agree, is wrong and dangerous.
 These heresy hunters remind me of man going out with 6 machine gun to hunt grasshopper be- lieve in the Virgin birth, but I do not believe 1t is doctrine essential to the Christian life or practice. I believe in the bodily resurrection Of Christ, but l know those who only accept a spiritual resurrection who are devoted Christians. Let the churches unite and demand of the city government and Of the press that this exploiting Of criminals as heroes shall cease"
 pr. Mccartney spoke in part as follows:
 '"rhe condition of lawessness in our country is appalling. We have this past week witnessed a strange anomaly upon the part Of law abiding community, the burial of recognized criminal attended by thousands and his grave heaped high with flowers from his partners | in crime.
 What a tyranny we live under in this city of Chicago. Our policemen lay the blame at the feet of the judges, and the judges In turn lay the blame at the feet of the chief of police. There is something wrong with the whole system of criminal restraint and procedure and, some Of these days, the righteous minded, aw-abiding citizens of this metropo- lis will rise up and refuse to live any longer under the tyranny of an in- efficient and laU-breaking hall

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than 10 cure. states a wellknown authority. We are advised 10 dress warmly, keep the feet dry, avoid ex- posture, and above all, drink plenty of good water and avoid eating sweets of all kind.
 Rheumatism Is caused by body waste and acids resulting from food fermentation. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this poison from Inc blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys 10 do double work; they become weak and slug gisb and fail 10 eliminate this waste and acids, which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles. causing stiffness, soreness and pain. called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad salts; put a table spoonful iN glass of water and drink before breakfast each morn- ing for a week. This is helpful to neutralize acidity. remove waste matter, also 10 stimulate the kid neys, thus often ridding the Aood nf rheumatic Doisnn
