Million Club Asks Philadelphia
for Loan of Liberty Bell
for Celebration
Symbol of independence Decla
ration Wanted for "Three
Years After" Festivities
Press of Quaker City Supports
Proposal and Other Aid
Is Invoked
That the Liberty Bell, that concrete
reminder of the slogan of our fore
fathers, in whose venerable bosom still
lingers the deep note •which proclaimed
the nations birth, will be brought for
the first time to the Pacific coast Is
almost assured.
\u2666 The Million club of San Francisco
lias joined with Seattle and Portland
In the request to the mayor and coun
cil of Philadelphia for Uicir permis
sion to bring the bell to this great
empire by the western ocean so that
Die precious heirloom ,may be seen and
the spirit which it symbolizes absorbed
Los Angeles. San Diego. Sacramento
and other cities will be asked to join
3n the request for the bell, and the Mil
lion club of San Francisco has writ
ten to the mayor and supprvisors of
this city, a? well as the civic and com
mercial bodies, urging them to do all
In their power to bring the bell here.
The aid of California's representatives
in congress will also be* invoked, and
every other possible means will be
employed to obtain the loan of the
historic relic
GUARD OF HOXOK AS ESCORT
When the permission is secured a
p .aril of honor will be sent to Phila
delphia to escort the bell in a special
train across ,the continent, and wher
fjer It stays In Its triumphal progress
tens of thousands of children will
cover it with flowers and sing patriotic
teongs in commemoration of its visit.'
If It is possible to get the bell here
by April 18 there will be new inspira
tion for the celebration of the "Three
Years After" day. The people will be
imbued with fresh courage by the re
• minder of the spirit which filled their
fathers when the bell pealed out over
• the state house in Philadelphia and
proclaimed the signing of the declara
tion of independence.
The Million club has written to the
board of education asking that the
school children be given Instruction in
I the history of the bell and its signifl
-ca.nce as a national relic. Its presence
fhere will Inspire these children with
* patriotism . and. will be- an event in
s their lives never to be forgotten. *
PRESS SIPPOnTS PROPOSAL. „-;;,,,
The press of Philadelphia has ex
pressed itself as strongly In favor of
" allowing " the -, bell to come here.
The North American, in an editorial,
ppeaks as follows of the triumphal
progress of the relic across the conti
nent:
"We can conceive of no more Inspir
ing lesson In patriotism than would be
provided by that jealously guarded
Journey of the bell across the conti
nent. Past the prairies where no white
man had faced the Indians when its
Slast peal had sounded; past the splen
did fertile states that once were 'the
great American desert'; over the
Rockies, then unknown, and over the
Sierras, which only the Spanish ad
venturers had seen, let the bell travel,
guarded in honor, to the lands for
. which our fathers once were ready to
fight the strongest power on earth over
a disputed degree of latitude.
"Let those new generations of strong
Americans see for once the sacr«d
thing which to them is but a name.
Among tens of thousands a reverence
will be inspired and a sentiment in
culcated more deep" than we of the
east can conceive."
"The fostering of that spirit is a
need of the nation now. Purely eenti-'

Objections May Prevail
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9. — The efforts
of the Million club of San Francisco to
have the liberty bell taken to the Pa
clflo coast to become a feature In the
various celebrations may not be suc

cessful. The old- bell has been taken
to at least four expositions ' and to
other celebrations outside this city in
the last 25 years, and every time it
was brought back a movement '-was
started to prevent the • historic bell
from again leaving Philadelphia. ;
Notwithstanding this agitation, city
councils, which have the power to au
thorize the bell being taken from' the
city, have nearly always granted the
request, as councils do not like to place
the city In: a position of being'dis
courteous or. indifferent to the success
of *an exposition or celebration. : Re
quests have already been made here to
have the bell go to "thei northwest, but
nothing official has been done.
One of the reasons against taking the
bell west Is because of the great dis
tance to be traveled and the danger
of ( the bell breaking. The old relic is
In a glass case on the ground floor
of Independence hall and is under con
stant guard day and night. v -. ,

Mrs. Sarah L;\yinchesterv Mil

'*- A\ E. W. McLellan"
Woman Whose Pastime -Is
Building Fantastical Homes
' Is Stanch Spiritualist
r RED"WOOD CITY, Jan. 9. — Sarah L.
Winchester, heiress to the vast wealth
ot/fhe Winchester arms company, has
at last decided to' throw her cloak of
mystery aside.
Mrs. Winchester has stavted an action
through her attorneys against E. W.
McClellan of Burlingame, the contrac
tor, for the purpose of securing 98
acres of land now- held by McClellan
and other defendants near Burlingame.
The complaint alleges that the , defend-,
ants' lease expired on the first of the
year, but claims that they still hold
possession of the property in question
and refuse to.gi\'e it.up. Mrs. Win
chester, further : avers in; her complaint
that' the property was damaged by the,
removal of a quantity _ of gravel' from
the land and by, the custom of allow
ing a herd of cows to graze upon it.
She asks for rent amounting to $33
and damages in the sum of $900. \
The present contention 7" has arisen
over, a large tract of what was for
merly..- marsh - land near tho polo .field
of Francis J. Carolan/. the Burlingame
clubman, and which was bought by
\u25a0Mrs. Winchester a number of years ago
with the idea' of erecting the finest
country home in the west.
An immense concrete -.' seawall was
constructed to keep out the encroaching
tides of the bay, the man whois now
being sued by Mrs. Winchester carrying
out the work. Throughout the entire
tract of land a costly system of canals
with proper floodgates was constructed
through which the Winchester private
fleet of launches and yachts were to
wend their way. . ' \
An avowed spiritualist, Mrs. Win
chester soon became tired of her costjy
toy and after constructing a boat ho uho
and erecting a huge mountain of earth
upon which the mansion ..was' to be
erected where it could overlook the
entire canal system .of the estate and
the bay, work was stopped. -San Ma
teo. Fair Oaks and San Jose then
came to. know of Mrs." Winchester, al
though her existence was skeptically
regarded, so seldom was Mrs. Win
chester seen. •, -,
• Through all I the years that she has
been a resident of California, Mrs. Win
chester has retained her property ac
quiring mania, .ever'- being' on -the verge
of completing 5 elaborate : country\ cot
tages or fantastical palaces. ...San' Jose
has known her 'longest, where; Mrs.
Winchester remains today gecluded In
her mansion! on the Los Gatos road,
surrounded by trusty oriental servants,
the grounds being further guarded by
a pack of bloodhounds. Believing that
if she ever completes; the construction
of . Hhe home \u25a0 In which 1 she lives
her death', will shortly follow, -the lonely
heiress to millions/has found her" sole
pleasure during vthtf* last '" seven .years
In r directing ' the ; efforts -of 'workmen
who are called upon to" construct one
month what they destroy the next.

that drastic action^wlll ;be" taken un

Theamount due is said to be in the

they "pay ;; nor* give 'them -up. ' 'This
stand has been taken in spite of urg
ing onr.the part, of Hammerstein that
the duty be paid. - ,•
Mme. Doria, one of .Hammersteln's
principal contraltos,' decided she would
go to jail . rather than piy.7
"I 'consider it an outrage," said Mine.
Doria. "I have worn ; all my costumes,

only yesterday that I would. go to jail

is near 'when the power, to heal the
sick, -as well as to cast out devils, may
be the test by which the usefulness of
the • church may be .gauged. Mental

Every one should understand these
laws and teach them and place in. the
hands'" of. the people the knowledge
with which to : heal and cleanse them

Beauty and
Bad Breath
Cannot liv Tncrlhrr .%» Matter How a
- Woman May Try to .Make Them.
It does not matter how, beautiful a
woman may he, If she Is attlicted with
bad breath she will be shunned anil
pitied by men • and even women will
studiously avoid her.
If any woman doubts thi3 statement
let her make a point of asking? a friend
in whom she may confide, a man friend,
or relative. If he be honest he will tell
her that foul breath from the mouth of
a woman will drive- men from her more
rapidly than any other personal afflic-
tion.
Foul breath arouse? In man disgust
and where this quality is brought Into
play no amount of self-denial or rea-
soning can overcome the natural repujr-
nance which comes to man when ho la
in company with such a woman.
What is true of bad breath in woman
is not true in so great a degree in men.
Women are looked upon as the incar-
nation of sweetness, breeding, virtue
and refinement. Foul breath will sick-
en a man so that he cannot feel for
such a woman a companionship neces-
sary to make him desire to be in her
company.
There- is absolutely no occasion for
bad breath In either men or women.
Charcoal. the strongest absorbent
known., when taken into the stomach,
will prevent this repugnant tendency
or affliction.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges ar« sold
In tremendous quantities all over
America and Canada. They cure and
have cured all forms of bad breath. A
single box will convince you of this
fact. One should eat some of these
lozenges after each meal and upon re-
tiring. You might eat fifty of them
without .harm. They are not medicine,
but pure willow charcoal mixed with
sweet honey to make them palatable
and compressed into a lozenge to pre-
serve* their peculiar and lasting
strength.
The next time you wish to go Into
company and don't want your foul
breath to humiliate you. eat several of
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges and your
breath will be pure and sweet.
Every druggist carries them, price
25 cents, or send us your name and ad-
dress and we will send you a trial
package by mail free. Address F. A.
