Bad Influence
Irene was nearly always there.
Sometimes she had her friend
Lefa Hern with her. Lefa was
a bold, black-eyed woman Of

afraid that her influence wasn't
too good for the susceptible
Irene. Lefa was always telling

For they can't do it. They only move the

the cause. The reason for your down-and-Out

II this bile is not flowing freely, your food
doesn't digest. 1t just decays in the bowels.
Gas bloats up your stomach. You have q

Lily Lou joined in the con-
gratulations, admired the ring,
listened all over again to the
story of the meeting, the court

So it wasn't Imagination.
Someone really loved Irene.
Someone had asked her to

DEMURRER FILED
AGAINST DISTRICT
NOT SUSTAINED

One step in their battle against
the Imperial Irrigation District wat
er toll was lost to Roy Westmor-
land and his associates today as
an order by Judge Emmett H. Will
son of Los Angeles, overruling a
demurrer to the answer and amend
ed answer of the district, was filed
at the county clerks office.
The order, however, granted the
motion CT WeStmorland, T. d. Nc
Call. John Andrews, Charles. Malan
and others. to amend their COM
plant.
Judge Wilson'S ruling gives as
surance that the case will go to
trial on its merits. The suit is a
test of the legality of the SO
cent water toll, and the right of
the district to collect revenue both
by toll and assessment.
The Los Angeles jurist presided
here during a hearing on the de-
murrer, when practically every an
gle of the case was gone into. The
ruling, however, does not effect the
merits of the case.
NJ. w. Conkling, former chief
counsel for the district, argued in
favor of the demurrer when it was
presented before Judge Wilson. He
was opposed by Charles L. Childers,
present chief counsel for the dis
trict. and D. B. Roberts.
Judge Wilson'S decision, as it was
received at the county clerks office,
is given here:
1T is ordered that the demurrer
of plaintiffs to answer and supple
mental answer be and the same is,
hereby overruled.
ut is further ordered that the
of plaintiffs for leave
to amend the prayer to their COM
plant herein is granted and pro-
posed amendment is ordered filed"

court Of appeal.

vorce in 1926, claimed that her for
mer husband was $27,850 in ar
rears in alimony payments. Mer-
mitt claimed that he was earning

mony payments, set at the time of

the brakes would not hold, and
the machine rolled back down the
grade, finally coming to a stop
against the bank. Van Horn got
out of the cab, but could do moth
