Cuban Diarrhoea

U. S. soldiers who served in Cuba
during the Spanish war know what
this disease is and that ordinary rem
edies have little more effect than so
much water. Cuban diarrhoea Is
almost as severe and dangerous as
mild attack of cholera. There is one
remedy, however, that can always be
depended upon, as will be seen by the
following certificate from Mrs. Minnie
Jacobs of Houston, Texas: 'I hereby
certify that Chamberlain's Colic,
my husband of a severe attack of
Cuban diarrhoea, which he brought
home from Cuba. We had several doc
tors but they did him no good. One
bottle of this remedy cured him, as
our neighbors will testify. thank God
for so valuable a medicine" For sale

LOST JEWELS RESTORED TO
OWNER
FOUND UNDER CAR SEAT
John Forte Finds Bag Of Precious
Stones on Car, and by Aid Of
The Herald Learns Name
of Owner

Publication in The Herald yesterday
morning of the fact that bag of
jewelry valued at $1,000 had been lost
by Mrs. william ]. Danford while re-
turning to Los Angeles from Long
Beach Tuesday evening led to the re-
turn of the valuables to the owners
yesterday afternoon.
John Forte of 1171s East First street,
Long Beach found the package OF
gems an hour after Mr.. and Mrs. Dam
ford had left the car under the seat
which the attorney and his wife had
occupied while returning from the sea-
shore.
Needless to say Mr.. Danford is very
grateful to The Herald for its part in
bringing loser and finder together.
Search for Owners
Forte began a search for the owners
of the jewelry, but was unable to find
them until the story Of the attorneys
loss was made public in yesterday
mornings Herald. After reading the
account Of Mr.. Danford's loss, Forte
came to Los Angeles at once, bringing
the bag of jewels with him. He went
directly to Mr.. Danford's Office, but
finding the attorney was out, he placed
the gems in safety deposit vault and
returned them to the owner later in
the afternoon. AS soon as the jewels
were restored to their owner, Forte was
taken to the Southern California Saw
ings bank and paid a reward of 5000 by
Mr.. Danford.
Forte, who is q young electrician,
says that he came from Long Beach
and his wife, out got off at Earl street
and walked to Signal Hill. On return
ing to the beach he took the same car
on which he rode to Los Angeles. No
one was on the car at that time-about
10 o'clock at highland after talking
to the conductor for some time Forte
says he took a seat on the rear plat
form.
Jewels Under Seat
When he arose from his seat to get
off the car at Long Beach he says his
foot struck a package lying at his feet.
On picking it up he found that the
article was a valuable walrus handbag.
A number of papers were lying on the
floor of the car and he picked these
up and placed them in the bag, thing
ing that they were a part Of the con-
tents that had fallen out.
When he returned to his lodgings in
Long Beach he told the landlady what
he had found and she advised him to
wait until the loss was advertised.
He took the package to his room and
left 1t in the bureau drawer all night,
and not until the morning, when he
made a thorough examination of its
contents did he know that the bag
contained a number of valuable jewels.
When he found Mr.. Danford in his
office yesterday afternoon he asked the
attorney to describe the jewels. which
he did, and they were turned over to
him at once.
Forte has been in Southern Califor-
mia for ten months, but has been un-
able to find steady employment at his
trade. Besides the 5000 reward turned
over to him, Mr.. Danford at once Sc
cured Forte a position with the Edison
Electric company.
