Armor and M. Nisson, representing the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company, were in Anaheim on Monday in conference with William Crowther and A. S. Bradford of the Anaheim Union Water Company, relative to litigation matters now before both companies. Attorney Keech and Engineer Clay Kellogg were in attendance. The conference, which was in executive session, was held in Attorney Melrose's office. It was reported after the meeting that the injunction suit against O. B. Fuller of Riverside county would be pressed. Fuller last year built a ditch, tapping the river for 1000 inches of water that was the property of the two Orange county companies. An injunction suit against him was immediately brought. It was tried before Judge Noyes of Riverside, the close political associate of Fuller. Noyes held that inasmuch as the two water companies had not shown that they were damaged by Fuller taking the water, therefore he declined to issue an injunction preventing Fuller taking more water. The case will soon come to trial upon its merits before a Los Angeles court. The case against Newberry may drag along in the United States court for years. Newberry recognizes the hopelessness of his cause, and some weeks ago asked for a "conference" with the water companies to effect, if possible, a friendly settlement of points at issue. This was declined, and since then Newberry's activity at Rincon has in great part subsided. At a regular meeting of Chispa chapter No. 151, O. E.

Bowers More Value than the Price Suggests In the year just drawing to a close the price of Dodge Brothers Motor Cars was materially lowered. Yet during this period more important improvements were incorporated than in any year in Dodge Brothers history. Advances were made in engineering and body designs. The cars possess a greater degree of smoothness, silence and ease. They are more comfortable, more beautiful. Current prices—made possible, of course, by constantly mounting sales—are therefore not an obvious measure of value. Prices, in fact, have never told the full story of Dodge Brothers dependability and basic worth. But now, more than ever before, there is far more value than the price suggests.

How to Keep Bowels Regular DR. W. B. CALDWELL AT THE AGE OF 83 To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, Ill., a practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated men, women, children, and particularly old folks had to be kept constantly "stirred up" and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all headaches, billiousness, indigestion and stomach misery, he did not believe that a sickening "purge" or "physic" was necessary. In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to establish natural bowel "regularity" even for those chronically constipated. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin not only causes a gentle, easy bowel movement but, best of all, it never gripe, sickens or upsets the system. Besides, it is absolutely harmless, and so pleasant that even a cross, feverish, billious, sick child gladly takes it.
