Beavers, made the selection of the

give "September Morn" the first ride,
but he was Immediately overruled.
The purchase of two auto patrols
has been authorized by the City Coun
cil, but owing to the lark of funds the
second one will not be purchased at
once. The next one will be a cheaper

Ex-Congressman Bell.
BALTIMORE, MD.. July 31.—"Cali-
fornians will see that the Japanese
are excluded whether Congress pass
es resolutions of exclusion or not. If
the Japanese are not legislated out,
we will drive them out. If it is a
question of taking the law into our
own hands we can do it, and will
do it, if the Government does not
grant us what we want.”
That is how Theodore A. Bell, of
California, former Congressman and
floor leader of the Champ Clark
forces at the Democratic National
Convention in Baltimore last year,
summed up the situation In his State.

Mr. Bell accused Governor John
son of double dealing, declaring the
Executive will be instrumental in
having a bill passed which will give
the Japanese a right to lease farm
lands for an indefinite term.

It caused disfigurement. He couldn't rest

” He was treated for eight months and he
got worse all the time. 80 I decided to try
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. We first
washed the sores with the Cuticura Soap
and covered them with the Cuticura Oint
ment mornings and at bedtime. We kept a
