From Chicken=Pox
to Cholera
I Cure-Alls No Longer % Tolerated
) In early days every barber shop was
jan operating room and the town physi-
cian resorted to bleeding- as tho sure
cure for all ailments, from chicken-pox
(to rholera. As a result, many, lv-
! eluding our first President, died pre-
1 maturely.
The present low rate of mortality
jis due In larpe measure to the ad-
i vances made in medical science and
t the knowledge of the specific treat-
jment needed for each disease known.
There Is no disease more common
Inmonp American and English people
(than dyspepsia. So prevalent has It
i become that thousands suffer with it
,imlf unconsciously, consider the symp-
toms as natural to their physical con-
i utitution and resign themselves to liv-
j Inp on Jn that condition.
There Is a remedy for dyspepsia, and
I only one, recommended and indorsed
Immorally by physicians: Stuarts Dys-
j pepsia Tablets have stood the test of
-. \u25a0xears of use by millions of eufferers,
i have been ' subjected to povernmental
innalj'ses In liurone and America and
'alone hare be»n found to contain the
! elements which Nature has put Into
j the stomach for digestion — pepsin, di-
astase and othfr ferments.
Stuart's Uyspopsia Tablets relieve
J the stomach and bowels In a perfectly
Lnatural way by helping them do their
(Work. If the stomach is weak in gas-
> trie Juice. Stuart's Tablets make up
i tbe deficiency. If the muscles are In-
j active, Stuart's Tablets invigorate
them. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets dl-
I prest every form of food entering 1 tho
'stomach, one grain of the active prin-
ciple of these Tablets being capable of
'digesting 3000 grains of meat, eggs
land other foods. They are not cathar-
jtlc pills — their action Is simply that of
a digestive.
1 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure
! nothing but dyspepsia, waterbrash,
sour stomach and kindred ailments re-
sulting from the Imperfect digestion
of food, but these "Hiseases they posi-
Sveiy cure. .

it officially accomplished today was the
appointment of a committee of three
to inspect Red Men's Hall and report

Must Bear Label
Telling Ingredients
CALL HEADQUARTERS.
IOOT EIGHTH .STREET.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 15. — Many medi
cines supposed to be Harmless will soon
bear an appalling brand if Assembly
man P. C. Campbell of Point Richmond
has his way. Today he introduced a
bill forbidding the importation, manu
facture or sale of adulterated or mis
branded drugs. He insists that all
mfdicine intended for internal or exter
nal use must bear a label telling of its
composition. The measure strikes at
the patent medicine industry, and its
advocates rxpect that the interests at
tacked will soon be represented here
by a strong lobby.
P. C. Campbell, the author of the bill,
has been a practicing physician for
twenty years. He argues that he Is only
asking for fair play for the' people.
"If a mother Is giving her child
soothing syrup containing a large per
centage of morphine," he says, "she
ought to know It. Then there are the
consumption and cough cures, all con
taining opium. These things should be
properly labeled. Then if the people
want to tako them It is their own busi
ness, but it is not fair to permit them
to be deceived."
The proposed law provides for semi
annual publication of offenders in of
ficial county papers. The penalty for
each violation is a fine of not less than
$25 nor more than $SOO. or imprison
ment for not more than six months.
V."«rnlnc to Property Owarn
When you object to buying property
which has no record title how can you
expect to sell or mortgage yours, if it
lacks such title? But there is no record
title to any real property in tiie city,
\u2666 xcept a decree of court under the Mc-
Knerney Act: and for that there can be
no substitute. Delay to restore your
title may result In litigation, or even
entire loss of property. ;•; v

"IT'S A STEAL"
His Protest About Codes
Falls Upon Deaf Ears
in Nearly Every Instance
"RUEF'S BOYS" SOLID
CALL HEADQUARTERS,
1007' EIGHTH STREET.
SACRAMENTO. Jan. 15. — Assembly
man W. F. Chandler, elected as a Re
publican from Fresno County, startled
his colleagues today by denouncing the
patronage grab.
"I came here favoring $6 a day
patronage." he said. "I voted for that
amount and. consider the additional $7
a day a steal pure and simple.",
The subject at Issue was whether the
House should spend $4000 to provide
each member with an expensive set of
codes, or be content with somethipg
much cheaper. A modest committee
favors a set of pony codes to cost $2100.
Clyde Bishop of Santa Ana spoke in
the interest of economy, declaring, that
he was present to save money for the
State. Chandler followed with his rev
olutionary utterances and declared $13
a day patronage was a steal.
Grove Johnson sprang to the defense
of the spoils. He didn't care particu
larly what codes the members bought,
but he felt pained because of the un
parliamentary language used by the
member from Fresno. He thought the
members should vote for jifst what they
deemed necessary, regardless of cost.
"If the gentleman who just spoke."
he argued, "believes what he said he
should not have taken the patronage.
Why did he, as I understand, take all
but $2 of it. Perhaps the $2 was the
part of it that was too much." •
Chandler declared that the statement
of the gentleman from Sacramento was
untrue, but did not go Into details.
Johnson went on to tell how he loved
to spend public money. AVlth a 'burst
of earnest enthusiasm he said: "I would
vote away the whole treasury if I
thought it would do us any good."
During the discussion Assemblyman
P. "\V. Forbes of Independence, Inyo
County, a Democrat who never misses
an opportunity to make a stump speech,
took occasion to defend his Republi
can colleagues against the charge that
they dance to the crack of William F.
Herrin's whip. Forbes had Just been
permitted to back In with some belated
patronage and felt unusually charita
ble. He defended the patronage grab
and «xpreseed the opinion that the
member from Fresno owed the House
an apology.
Chandler sat still and smiled while
Forbes delivered his harangue, but
made no attempt to apologize.
The debate over the plan to supply
members of the Legislature with' a.
starter for a law library, or a pleasing
addition, went on. The original reso
lution, which was introduced by Nathan
C. Coghlan of San Francisco, was for
eighty-five sets of the most expensive
codes at $46; each. This was killed In
committee and a recommendation made
that eighty-five sets of pony codes,
costing $25 each, be purchased.
J. O. Davis, a Salinas Democrat, of
fered a substitute. He favored fifteen
expensive sets and argued thai any
thing indre would be a waste of money.
His substitute was overwhelmingly de
feated, receiving only eight votes out
of seventy-five. ' Included in r the oppo
sition was the solid delegation of eight
een from San Francisco.
After more argument Davis. moved
that whatever codes were purchased
they should not become the property
of members, but should be turned over
to the Secretary of State at the close
of the session. This also was defeated.
Again the San Francisco delegation
voted solidly in the negative. The total
vote was twenty-eight ayes to forty
five noes. Aside from the San Fran
cisco delegation the Assembly stood
twenty-eight ayes and twenty-seven
noes. , /
Following the defeat of the plan to
turn the books over to the State the
report of the committee was adopted.
Only half a dozen dissenting votes were
recorded and soon several of Ruefs
boys will "possess a library which to
them will be purely ornamental. . *

1007, EIGHTH STREET. \
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 15.— 11. -XV. Mc-
Mullln. the Republican" Assemblyman
from Bakersfield, threw down the gaunt
let today to a pair of giant corpora
tions, the Standard Oil "Company and
the Southern Pacific Company.
The views of McMullin are contained
in two bills. One declares that any
person, firm or corporation engaged In
the production, manufacture or dis
tribution of any commodity in general
use r that shall intentionally for the
purpose of destroying competition dis
criminate between different sections,
communities or cities, by selling such
commodity for a lower price in one
place than in another, after equalizing
distance and freight rates, shall be
deemed guilty of a -misdemeanor..
This is aimed at the Standard OH
Company, which is accused ,of rank
discrimination In the county which
McMullin represents. The penalty at
tached is forfeiture of charters of do
mestic companies and " forfeiture of
permits of foreign companies* '\u25a0 Con
tinuance in business after forfeiture
makes offending representatives of
guilty' companies liable to *a fine of
from $1000 to $5000. or imprisonment
from one to five years for each and
every violation.
McMullln's second bill Is also gen
eral In its scope, but" It directly af
fects the Southern Pacific Company.
This measure would compel railroads
traversing Incorporated cities and
towns to maintain passenger depots
and freight warehouses In such cities
and towns. Bakersfield has neither
passenger depot nor freight ware
house. Trains stop at Kern City and
all Southern Pacific, freight for Bak
ersfleld has to be hauled a mile by
horse-power before -it reaches its des
tination. McMullin's bill provides a
penalty of $50 a day for violation.

resentatives of organized labor are

female employes when not necessarily,
engaged In the active duties for which
they are' employed." The bill contains
these sections: o : ;;».
"The Labor Commlst loner shall ap
point a • deputy, who vshall - \u25a0; have the
same power as the said Commissioner,
and such agents and assistants, not
exceeding six, as he may from, time to
time require, at such a rate of wages
as he may prescribe, but said rate must
not exceed $4 per day r and actual trav
eling expenses for each person while
employed. He shall procure rooms I for
offices at a rent not to exceed $100. per
month. * , ;,
"Section 10 of the act hereby amend
ed will read as follows:
"The salary of the Commissioner
shall be $3000 per annum and the sal
ary of the Deputy Commissioner shall
be $1800, to be audited by the Comp
troller and paid by the State Treasurer
in the same manner as other State offi
cers. There shall be allowed a sum
not to exceed $9000 per annum for the
salaries of agents and assistants . for
traveling expenses and for :ot.her, con
tingent expenses for the Labor Bureau. '
Assemblyman Eshleman of Berkeley,
who was formerly Deputy State Labor
Commissioner, has introduced the bill
in the Hou,se.

BELL'S WORDS RING
BUT THAT'S ALL
Democratic Minority Has
Little; Opportunity to Be

MUST LOOK TO PRESS
CAMiJIEADftDARTERS,
1007 EIGHTH STREET.
SACRAMENTO. Jan. -15. — Any sop
thrown, to a clamoring public "by the
thirty-seventh California Legislature is
to bear a distinctive ' Republican label.
Democrats may introduce bills and dis
turb the ambient with , vocal pyrotech
nics; may inveigh against Roosevelt,
the Japanese, the : unspeakable Turk
and. the horrid commercial octopus; but
all the political capital they derive
from their loud interest in the public
welfare they must, got from the pub
licity given them and their- measures
by the press. They will not be permit
ted to make laws or^pass public inter
est resolutions.: ' This was definitely de
cided this afternoon. • , ' i-
"When the. Republican majority of the
Senate went into caucus today it was
said that eligibilty of Senator Charles
W. Bell of Pasadena to. sit among the
anointed was the main thing at issue;
It wasn't. Bell was. a' delegate to the
convention that nominated B. W.j Halm
fo restate Senator.: Afterward lie
changed his mind and ran himself. A
supposedly discriminating public elect
ed him, but when -he \u25a0arrived here the
Republican organization would have
nothing- to do with him. Two days ago
the organization thought It would be
as humane. as Bell and change Its mind.
It agreed to let him in without patron
age, but it ultimately found that, he
could be frozen out without interfering
with, any programme projects. .
The organization decided to indorse
this freeze-out today. Then it got down
to its real business, which was the
blockading of any unnecessary political
thunder that may emanate from the
Democratic party minority.
Senator J. B. Sanford of Ukiah was
the main subject at the caucus. He had
introduced a joint resolution in the
Senate taking President Roosevelt and
Secretary Metcalf to task for the stand
they have taken on the Japanese school
segregation question-in San Francisco.
This resolution will never be adopted.
It reads well, 'the organization thinks,
but it is obviously meant to attract at
tention to the Democratic minority.
The question was gone into at length
at the* caucus. Eventually some very
positive resolutions and other things on
the Japanese question will come
through the Senate, but the Democratic
minority will not be permitted to have
anything to do with them.

Pardee Wants to
Boss the Bosses
Says Grafters Can Be
v Downed by Anti-
Boodlers
OAKLAND, Jan. 15. — "I am a good
party man, but I refuse to swallow
every dose the bosses of my party may
hand to me," declared former Governor
George C. Pardee tonight at the raeet-
Ing of the Men's League in the First
Congregational Church.
"But," he continued. "It may be asked
if a- man had voice in the nomination
of his party's candidates, what was the
use of a party man at all?"
"Parties." said Pardee, "have their
uses and in fact/under our system of
government they are indispensable. The
evil of parties lies In the prostitution of
national and State party organizations
for selfish purposes. The boss evil
comes within this category. Trust
bosses \u25a0 almost invariably gain their
first advantage from the National party
organizations. They \u25a0 perpetuate it by
selling, special privileges to men whs
will pay for them.
j "Greece and Rome fell asa result of
unchecked bossism. Little by little, tho
privileges that belonged to all of the
people were taken away and given to
tiie privileged classes until the vitality
of the nation was exhausted. Our own
nation is not immune from the opera
tion of these laws. If the bosses and
their practices are not checked vre shall
share the fate of Greece and Rome, not
soon, perhaps, but none the less in
evitably. :
"Take San Francisco for example.
The cancer of graft has been gnawing
at the vitals of the community. You
see its effect in her time \u25a0of trouble.
Ruef, not the man, but what he stands
for, and Rueflsm must be stamped out
In the cities of our land or the conse
quences will be fatal.
"The remedy lies in organizing the
decent forces of the community. If the
boss system is effective for the grafters
it ought to be for the anti-grafters,
who should organize and choose leaders
or bosses and follow them steadfastly."

WILL WOT PLAY IN
POLITICAL GAME
Governor Gillett Frowns
Upon Legislative Tac
tics Against Pardeeites
BILL IS DISAPPROVED
CALL \u25a0 IIEADQUARTBRS.
1007 I'.KillTH STREET.
SACRAMENTO, Ja:i. 13. — "I will' not
play politics -with men regularly ap
pointed to office, ami I am not in fa
vor of that kind of legislation, and
will veto any bill passed for j th<it
purpose," said Governor Gillett late
this afternoon.
Gillett has taken quite an unex
pected attitude in the matter of the
last-minute appointments made by
Pardee. And. wjthal. that attitude is
not entirely acceptable to some- of trie
wheel-horse party managers. But
whether they like it or not. Gillett
has signed it down cold that he will
not stoop to that k?nd of politics,
and that he will use the veto power
to prevent the consummation of any
such games. \u25a0
The question was again brought to
the attention of the Governor by way
of the bill designed to reduce the
term of the attorney of the Statt>
Board of" Health from four to two
years. However innocent the intent
of the framer. the bill on Its face
carries the obvious complexion of-pol
itics, pure and rather simple. That it
was designed to oust J. Klston, late
secretary to Pardee. who was named
in place of Foley. goes without say
ing.
Gillett does not purpose to be
drawn into any scheme to play poli
tics at t£e expense of men named .by
Pardee. Today he told The Call that
if the Legislature found that It was
supporting a few sinecures and want
ed to abolish them, such abolition
would meet with his approval, but
that any legislation designed to oust
the men named "by Pardee for the sole
purpose of enabling the present Gov
ernor to make a few appointment 3
would be promptly vetoed.
By the reappointment today of No
tary Mark Lane of San Francisco.
Governor Gillett filled the only San
Francisco vacancy that will occur
until July 31. when the terms of Fred
L. Stewart. Mrs. Cedo D. Zoldo. A. A.
Enqulst and W. W. Elverson will ex

of Clyde L. Seavey. assistant secre
tary of the State Board of Examiners,
