The Forest Fires.

The forest fires which have caused a
loss of $1,OOO,OOO a day the past two
months in various parts of the United
States have at last reached our COM
munity, and the past week thousands of
acres of timber land have been devas-
tated on Kirby mountain, Silsby's
mountain and in Victory. 1t is believed
that these fires caught from some care
less hunter. and as next week is the open
season for hunting deer, hunters should
use great care in the woods lest they
start forest fires Matches from pipes,
wadding from the gun, or camp fires left
smoulderlng may start fire which will
cause thousands of dollars of damage to
property owners. Anyone who enters
the woods this month, either for pleasure
or hunting, should take no chances
about starting fires and give instant
warning if fire is discovered.

good grounds for his belief as there
never has been a campaign in recent
years where there is such apathy and
general doubt about the final result. If
Bryan can carry New York he will be the

will carry the state and be elected by a

SAVE MONEY AND POSTAGE
ON NEW RUBBER STAMPS
COUNCIL SUPPLY COMMITTEE
CHANGES SYSTEM
Bedrock Bid Is Good Thing for Munich
paIity, and Department Heads
Feel Relieved over
Award

AS already forecasted, the supply COM
mittee of the council has given TO the
bid of the Chipron Stamp company APP
proval as the best bid for rubber stamps
and will so report to the council.
This bidder offered to do the work or
the city at cents an inch. This is far
below previous years and the city will
save hundreds of dollars thereby. Rub
ber stamp men say there is no profit for
the maker at that price, though it brings
prestige to supply the city in that way
Clerk Bert Farmer is enthusiastic over
the decision. as it will save him writing
hundreds of letters and using hundreds
of postage stamps in filling rubber stamp
orders for the departments
Under the present ordinance. every
time any head of a department makes L
requisition for a stamp, if it is only a
10-cent article, invitations for bids must
be sent to three firms. When they are
returned another letter must be sent TO
the lowest bidder. This in itself means
s cents postage for one 10-cent rubber
stamp.
Under the contract system the firm bid
ding the lowest for the entire contract
will simply be notified what stamps are
wanted, they will be given a number and
duplicate of this stamp can quickly be or
dered without any delay or red tape.

Do You Enjoy Your Meals?
One of the Most Important Questions
TO Consider in the Search for
Happiness and Health

The burning question to you is, "Are
you getting out of life all the pleasure
and the health you are entitled tor II
not, why not?
No matter whether every organ and
member of your body is in a sound state
of health and strength, if your stomach
is in any way disordered you are not
going to be yourself You are going
to be a worried, out-of-sorts nervous or
sullen individual. whose actions will re-
fleet your condition inside, and people
will naturally avoid you.
The world wants to smile and be cheer
full. and unless you are cheerful and
smile at least occasionally, you will have
few friends, fewer opportunities, no suc--
cess, and you will go down in defeat-de-
feated by dyspepsia and bad stomach
A good and thorough digestion has
quick, wonderful reaction upon the brain.
You must have noticed it many times, for
the brain and stomach are as intimately
connected as a needle and its thread-one
can hardly be used to advantage without
the other If your stomach is slow and
lazy in digesting your food, it will pro-
duce at once a slow, lazy and cloudy
influence upon your brain. Mark it! IL
your stomach has absolutely quit work,
and fermentation is poisoning your vitals
as a result surely your brain Is going
to be sluggish and correspondingly de-
pressed No one need tell you that.
But why continue to suffer all the
miseries and torments that disordered
stomach brings you?
If your stomach cannot digest your
food what will? Where's the relief?
Where's the cure?
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the re-
lief and the cure Why? Because as all
stomach troubles arise from Indigestion
7 s-w.A Nf Gfs,nv nvsff
Dyspepsia Tablets is able to THOR
OUGHLY and COMPLETELY DIGEST
1000 GRAINS of any kind of food, doesn't
II stand to reason that these little Dys-
pepsia Tablets are going to digest ALL
the food and whatever food you put Into
your stomach? Science nowadays can di-
gest food without having to use the
stomach for it, And Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the result of this scientific
discovery They digest and digest thor
oughly and well anything and everything
you eat.
So. if your stomach refuses to work or
can't work. and you suffer from eructa-
tions, bloat, brash, fermentation, bilious
ness, sour stomach, heartburn, irritation,
Indigestion or dyspepsia of whatever
form. Just take one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and rec the difference.
1t doesn't cost you much to prove it.
Then you can eat all you want. what you
want whenever you want, if you use
these tablets and you can look the whole
world in the face with a beaming eye
and you will have a cheerful spirit, a
pleasant face, a vigorous body and a
clear mind and memory and everything
will look and taste delicious to You.

SEARCH CONTINUED FOR
WINDOW SMASHING V,.NDAL
Police Seek Miscreant Who Destroyed
Valuable Plate Glass Front
of West Adams Street
Store

According to officers working on the
case, revenge was the motive of the van
dal who smashed the six valuable plate
glass windows at the store of A. b. Nc
Neely, 1922 West Adams street, Friday
night.
Careful search of the premises has
failed to reveal the instrument with
which the windows were destroyed. but
the officers are positive a club was used,
and that this weapon was carried by the
miscreant as a means of defense.
At first the supposition was that more
than one man committed the deed, but
the officers are now positive it was the
work of one man.
They are working on a clew and expect
to apprehtnd the offender in a short time.
The shattered windows We're replaced
by new plate glass yesterday, and all
traces of the disaster have been cleared
away.

First to be taken down with the disease
was James Runyon at the Chapman
ranch. He arrived there a short time
ago from the east and it is thought he
contracted the disease while en- route.
He is now almost entirely well.
Another patient is Walter Raper at
the Hastings ranch. He Is also near
recovery Both cases are reported Of
mild form.

POSTOFFICE
TILL ROBBED
MYSTERY SURROUNDS CRIME AT
OCEAN PARK
Thirty-eight Dollars Worth of Stamps
Discovered Missing, but Desire for
Papers Believed to Be Under
lying Motive
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
OCEAN PARK, Jan. u.-Mystery that
surrounded a robbery of unusual charac-
ter that took place between 1890 o'clock
last night and o'clock this morning at
the local postoffice had not been pene-
trated up to a late hour this evening by
Postal Inspectors j. II. Wilson and F.
Stewart, who spent the day conducting
an investigation the case.
Assistant postmaster Miss Alice Diet
rich, who has been in charge of the office
since Charles T.. Lovelace resigned the
office. after being arrested two weeks
ago charged with the embezzlement of
government funds, discovered that prl-
vate compartments containing stamps and
the papers of the office had been broken
into during the night, when she opened
the office this morning at $50 o'clock.
Miss Dietrich at once communicated
with the postal authorities at Los An
geles and received instructions to act
upon pending the arrival of the gov
ernmcnt officers.
The result of a searching investiga-
tion showed that the cash drawer had
been rifled of $38 worth of stamps.
Real Motive a Puzzle
whether the object of the thief or
thieves was not to secure something
other than stamps or money was not
determined.
No attempt to open the safe in which
considerable money and reglstered
matter had been placed last night was
made and no mail had been disturbed.
That the underlying motive OF the
robbery was to secure papers OF the
office that might be called for during
the forthcoming trial OF the former
postmaster is believed by many per
sons who have discussed the robbery
and also by the local police.
Policeman Mcdonnell of the Venice
squad states that he passed by the
postoffice at 1890 o'clock last night,
at which time there was nothing to
arouse his suspicious of robbers being
in the vicinity.
1t was shortly after that time, 1t is
believed, that entrance to the building
was obtained by means of pass Key
Night Watchman James Strachan,
who patrols the district in which the
postoffice is located, states that he
made his rounds as usual during the
night. but found nothing to point to
persons having gained access to the
postoffice or being within the building.
