SUNNY SKIES.
ARE PROMISED
Rain Is Over for a Time, Says Fore
caster, and Old Sol Can
Get in His Fine
Work

Three days of rain and two weeks of
fair weather is the way the local
weather man usually doles out Los An
geles sunshine and frowns, and it seems
as if the present weather is to be no
exception to the rule. During the three
days of rainy weather this week 206
inches of rain fell, almost as much as
the average for the entire month of De-
cember in past years.
Yesterday the last of the rains disap-
peared for parts unlSnown-or at least
they tarried nowhere near Los Ange-
les. A real California day followed.
such a day as the tourists delight to
write "back east" about.
Last night was as ideal as were the
twelve hours that had preceded it, A
bright moon made the night brighter
than the day ever has chance to be
back in the eastern cities where the
sun is rarity.
The same kind of weather is promised
for today. The local forecast for Los
Angeles and vicinity is Fair Sunday,
with light west winds"
The rainfall up to the present time is
5.53 inches, or almost twice the aver
age rainfall for the month in past
years. Last year at this time 3.11
inches had fallen, from which 1t will
be seen that this years amount is 2.42
inches the larger

COAL FOR MANILA
HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Bids re-
Gently opened at the navy department
for $4,000 tons Of semi bituminous coal
to be delivered at Manila disclosed the
fact that it is much cheaper If trans
ported in foreign bottoms than in
American bottoms.
The proposals called for separate
bids on shipments In steamers of
American register sailing vessels Of
American register, STEAMERS of foreign
American register, steamers of foreign
register.
No bid was received to transport the
coal in steamers of American register,
the experience of the past having
demonstrated the futlity OF Offering
any. The prices on shipments of
steamers of foreign register and on
which there were number of bids.
ranged from $500 a ton to $4.70 a ton.
Last year similar coal was bought
for $4 ton, the prices for shipments
in American ships being 81. One con-
Germ offered to ship 5000 tons in a sail
ing vessel of American register, but
no bids for shipments in sailing Ves-
sells of foreign register were received.
Two firms offered to ship the coal
regardless Of whether it was In ships
Of American or foreign register, the
prices ranging from 1888 by one firm
to $3.50 and S.25 by the other.
lnasmuch as the award probably
would be made on the basis Of the rate
OF $3.50 ton the government will have
to pay this year $4,000 more than last
year Tor the same quantity.

WHITE ACHING TO BE CHIEF
Retiring Sheriff and Prospective Police
Commissioner Has Eye on
kern's Job

Since the announcement that retiring
Sheriff VIII A. White will go on Mayor
Harpers police commission is out the
additional story is circulated that
Whites ambition will be to eventually
be chief of police.
White owns a big alfalfa ranch near
El Monte and has been successful In
his business investments, but he likes
politics and the police business and he
wants to keep in touch with these.
White has had experience as a deputy
sheriff and detective, is approachahle
and genial and as superintendent OF
the free employment bureau, city and
county tax collector and finally as
sheriff has acquired a knowledge OF
how to handle men.
Whites friends do not hesitate to
say that If Chief Kern should be sep
arated from his job White would pull
the wires to get it.

TRAVELLING MAN WRITES
CLEVER LITTLE VERSE

Theodore Haight, better known us
"The Captain" a travelling man who
pays frequent visits to Los Angeles,
is the author of the following verses
which will be appreciated by every
hotel man and travelling man in the
land. 1t would be almost impossible
to stand in the lobby of any hotel for
ten minutes without realizing the ap-
plication of the remark, and to the
tourist it is almost as common as to
the travelling man.
WHERE DO YOU GO FROM HERE?
Where do you go from here?
Says the host of my hotel.
Where do YOU go from here?
Says the boy who answers the bell.
1 have ordered ice water, towels and soap
And a call at six or near,
And my trunk brought up-that the por-
ter may ask
Where do you go from here?
The fireman says, as he turns on the
Where do you go from here?
And my old friends, ere their calls expire,
Say, where do you go from here?
And the barber who shaves me and
grasps my tip,
AS L hurriedly disappear
With Call again" still on his lip,
Says, where do you go from here?
Where do you go from here?
Oh, heavens Where do you go from
here?
Until in fancy I stand at the last COM
mand
And picture my doom in fear.
Fancy the keeper of heavens gate
AS he peers outside with leer,
And says, "Oh yes, you are one of those
travelling men,
Where do you go from here? ? ? 2"
Mr.. Haight has just concluded a
visit at the Hollenbeck and his verses
created much amusement among mis-
friends there.

SAYS MILK PUNCH
FAILED TO CURE
Woman Brings Suit Against "Radium"
Cure Man and Asks $4,000 DAM
ages and Her Money
Back

For the second time within the month
the marvellous "cures" by the milk and
radium process, advertised by a certain
DR.. H. Russell Burner at a temple of
health" institution, have been attached
in suits filed in the superior court. the
last being suit for $545O filed yester-
day by Mrs. Rhoda e. Mitchell.
According to the complaint, Mrs
Mitchell alleges that she was suffering
with cancer of the breast and that she
entered into contract with Burner
whereby he agreed to cure her of the
cancer within three months if she paid
him $3.50.
Mrs. Mitchell alleges that she paid
the money under the conditions of
promised cure and under agreement
that DIR. Burner was to furnish her with
an osteopath for massage work and
with radium to put in milk to drink.
Mrs. Mitchell alleges that no osteo-
path was supplied, that something else
besides radium was supplied her and
that her treatment was so careless that
she is now in worse condition than
before.
DIR. Burner is we'll known to all the
readers of the Sunday papers. He and
himself are said to form one of the
strongest mutual admiration societies
In Los Angeles, and he takes great de-
light in a large cut of himself which
accompanies his ads. This cut repre-
sents him in a frock coat with arm out
stretched in beatific attitude, bringing
''radium and milk and other queer
dope to all the world.
A few weeks ago Burner had a long
story in the daily newspapers to the
effect that he had cornered the radium
market and all the radium in the
world would be used in his peculiar
'rest cures" He asserted in very black
type that he had spent $4,000 for
radium. Fifty thousand dollars worth
of radium could be placed in the south
west corner of Burners vest pocket and
leave room enough for a small family.
Besides cornering the radium market
and curing cancer with milk punches
Brother Burner has other eccentricities.
Some time ago a member of his family
died and he had large cut of the de-
parted relative made and run in his ad-
vertising space, with the heaviest black
border the print shop offered. He in
vited everyone to attend the funeral.

DENIES GUILT OF LARCENY
Man Returns to Station for Watch
and Is Arrested on Charge
of SteaIinq

William B. Reynolds pleaded not
guilty to a charge of petty larceny in
police court yesterday.
Reynolds is charged with the theft of
a watch. Recently he was seen by De-
tective ZieGler endeavoring to dispose
of a handsome silver watch to a pawn
broker. Ziegler looked at the watch
and noticed an engraving of an oil der
rick on the back.
Such a watch had been reported as
stolen to the police a few days previous
so Ziegler took The young man to the
station. There he protested his inno-
cence and was at last allowed to go,
but the watch was held.
A little later D. A. Beck reported the
theft of a watch from his residence to
the police. and when shown the one
taken from Reynolds at once identified
it as his own. Reynolds returned the
following day for the watch and was at
once arrested

Editor Body and lind:
Il am 81 years old, married and have
two children. l have always enjoyed
the best of health, but during the last
few months 1 wake up in the morning
with a most excrucia ting headache.
Kindly advise me how to obtain relief.
as 1 cannot stand it very much longer.
MRS. -"
I regret that the lady did not state
in what physiological circumstances she
is today, because morning headaches
are sometimes symptoms of that con-
dition. Since she did not make any
reference to the subject 1 shall assume
that she is not.
1t is possible and even probable that
the lady is straining her eyes evenings.
She may be reading or sewing or doing
something else that forces her to strain
the eyes. Now straining of the eyes
is more or less an unconscious opera
ton, and to ascertain whether or not
the operation takes place consult a re-
liable oculist. 1 have no doubt but
that a pair Of well fitting glasses, worn
especially when reading or sewing, will
relieve the eye strain and the head
aches will instantly disappear.

Of the amount of worry, money and dis
ease they would spare themselves II
they should comply with the natural
laws OF supply and demand.
Let no one imagine that the so-called
pure food law will put into the mouths
of anyone pure foods or drugs. Laws
at best are a poor system of economics,
for as a rule they are operative after
the mischief is done After a person is
poisoned and perhaps dead from eating
a particular canned food It is a very
poor consolation to him or her even If

who are really anxious to eat pure food
had better can and prepare their own.
The other day I saw friend Of mine
who carries on an extensive business
(You have all heard of "McKee's Popu-
lar Restaurant') and clearly saw that
he was overworked. l told him that
his face bears the Characteristic marks
of cares and worry, and for the sake
of himself, his family, and even his
business he ought to take a much
needed rest. He was surprised that
anyone could tell his physical condition
without a single complaint or question
on his part. / explained to him that
cares and worries appear on the surface
of the face, because they do not mix
with the blood, just as oil will not mix
with water. He finally admitted that
he needed a rest, and promised to take
one at an early date. I hope so.
Every one of us needs a days rest
at least once week. We not only need
a rest, but we ought to go to a place
that is quite distant from our business.
We ought to forget all about business
at least one day in the week. There are
all sorts of excursions running out of
this city; some run a short distance,
others farther, each of which not only
gives one a good deal of pleasure but
actually prepares one to do better work
after his or her return.
If the writer had Carnegie's means at
his command he would see to it that
everyone unable to pay the price, which
is nominal. should take a trip, for in

loon route excursion. 1t costs only 81,
but in my opinion is actually worth
ten times the amount. 1t is a whole
days trip, and one regrets when the
time comes to return home, no matter
how sweet the latter may be.
