MERGED BANKS ARE READY
First National Starts on Giant Scale,
Los Angeles Moves Books and
Currency
For the last timo the officers and
employes of the Los Angeles National
bank transacted business yesterday in
tho banking rooms at the corner of
Sprlne: and First streets. On Monday
morning the effects of the bank will
nil have been removed to the Firt Na
tional bank, on Second stret near
Spring, and the entire force of the
Los Angeles bank will report there for

Workmen were busy yesterday In
putting upon the windows of the Los
Angeles bank tile signs of the Equita
ble Savings bank, which will open on
the premises for business Monday
morning. While the business of the
Los Angeles- bank was conducted as
usual yesterday, officers and clerks
were ..busily employed in collecting and
sorting papers ancl In gathering to
gether the effects of the bank for re l
inoval to the First National banking
rooms.
A large part of the books, papers
and contents of the vaults of the Los
Angeles bank has already been re
moved from the premises, Everything
that could bo removed without disturb
ing the course of business has been
gradually taken away. During the past
week the employes have been engaged
In putting the books in order and
checking up, weighing and verifying
the cash In the vaults. These affairs
were all concluded before Saturday
morning and all day Saturday was
spent In getting things In shape to be
handled by' the porters who removed
the books and other portions of the
bank's property.
As the effects of the Southwestern
National bank were all removed to the
First National bank's premises Oct.
8, with the removal of the effects of
the Los Angeles bank the consolida
tion of the three banks will have been
practically completed on Monday morn
ins.
In speaking of the personnel of the
First National's force Cashier W. T. S.
Hammond said yesterday:
"The First National bank will In
future have over 100 employes. We
have taken Into our employ the com
plete force of both the Los Angeles
National and Southwestern National
banks and have had to employ ten
more men besides.
"We shall have a nisht staff of book
keepers working all night regularly In
future. The complete set of Individual
day ledgers will each night be proved
and balanced by this separate night
staff, which will make a separate check
on the work. We have provided ac
commodations for plght receiving and
paying windows manned by sixteen
tellers.
"There will in addition be separate
departments for pass books and state
ments, a clearing house window, a new
accounts window and a window for
railroad, postofflce and United States
business.
"We shall have on our books Mon
day morning 14,000 accounts averaging
more than $1000 each. The business
of consolidation was so carefully
planned and the bookkeeping has been
so carefully methodized that all this
vast volume of business has been taken
over without a ripple. When Monday
morning comes, every man will know
just where to take his place and will
know Just what to do."
UNION LEAGUE CLUB DINES
Women Friends of Members Are
Guests — Address on "True
Citizenship"
The monthly dinner given by the
Union League club last night was one
of the most successful affairs the club
has ever had. It was. the first of their
spreads to which women were invited
nnd a special menue had been pre
pared. Covers were . laid for about
200 jiersons.
Rev. Bert Kstes Howard, who has
recently returned from an extended
trip abroad, was the speaker of the
pvenlng, nnd had for his theme, "True
Citizenship."
While the club was oiglnally organ
ized as a purely political one, the
social feature has become the most
prominent and this, it is .thought, nc.
counts for its remarkable 'success. The
membership has increased until the
limit, 600, has almost been reached,
nnd the entrance .fee will be advanced
from $25 to $50 on the first of Novem
ber. . Sunday evening dinners will be
served to the members in the future.

BEGINS WAR ON
PATENT MEDICINES
BOARD OF HEALTH MEANS TO
ENFORCE LAW
Death Knell of "Fake" Preparations
Is Sounded, Provided Statutes
Give the Power to
Proceed
The death knell of "fake" patent
medicines In Los Angeles will soon be
sounded if the board of health finds
that It has a free hand to deal with
them. At the last meeting of the board
the secretary was Instructed to confer
with the- city attorney and report at
the next meeting all the laws, state
and city, governing the manufacture
and sale of patent medicines.
This step was taken at the instance
of Dr. E. M. Pallette, member of the
board, who believes that the time is
now ripe for an active crusade against
the fake nostrums that form a large
part of the business of Los Angeles
druggists.
"A popular agitation has recently
been begun against patent medicines
for in late years they have degener
ated into nothing but compounds of
poisons and opiates and Instead of be
ing a benefit are a positive detriment
to the general health," said Dr. Pal
lette yesterday. "There ls an old state
law that stipulates that all patent med
icines containing poisons or opiates
shall have the formula printed on the
label. This law is thirty years old, yet
there Is hardly an instance in which
It has been enforced. If there is any
reason why this law cannot be en
forced the board has a perfect right
to ask for a city ordinance to this ef
fect and if It ls necessary we will do
so." . .
Board Will Act
As soon as the board knows Its po
sition from a legal standpoint, that
body will take active steps to see that
the law ls Implicitly complied with.
The city chemist will be Instructed
to secure samples of air patent medi
cines that are believed to violate the
law and analyses for poisons and opi
ates will be made. On the report of
the city chemist warrants will bo
sworn out and the cases fought
through the courts.
"I know there is a state law to
this effect," said Dr. . Pallette, "for
Just a short time ago . we received a
communcatlon from the San Francis
co board of health ' advising us that
they had stopped the sale of a certain

Miss Grace Ducasse
patent medicine in San Francisco and
asked us to follow their example. Con
siderable litigation ensued and the at
torney of this medicine company
called on us and showed us that wp
could not order the sale stopped, that
all we could do was to make the medi
cines comply with a state law, a copy
of which he showed me, that the form
ula must be on the bottle. He twitted
us with the fact that It had never
been enforced and our agitation Is the
result of his calling our attention
to it.
The members of the board are of
the opinion that ignorance of the na
ture of the mixtures is largely respon
sible for the popularity of patent med
icines and «t hat when patients are In
formed of their ingredients they will
hesitate a long time ..before using
them. . '
"There is scarcely a patent medicine
on the market that does not contain
some poison," said Dr. Garcelon, city
physician. "If we begin a general cru
sade of this nature even cough syrups,
soothing syrups and similar medicines
that are used will come under the
head."
Some proprietary medicines are bene
ficial for certain things and in certain
quantities, is a statement on which the
board is agreed, but these should be
used with the utmost caution and only
with the prescription of a practicing
physician.
