soft boiled egg. For dinner dish of
Grape-N Nuts and cream, toasted bread
and glass of warm milk. For supper
same as breakfast with baked pc
tato, one or two poached eggs, and a
glass of warm milk.
After two months on this diet he
had nearly regained his normal weight
He took outdoor exercise, and got
plenty of sleep, He has no more
trouble with his stomach, and can eat
anything.
These results induced us to try

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, April 2.-The
warfare which has been on for some
time between Mayor J. j. Hanford and
the majority of the city council because
the latter would not bow to wishes of
the mayor in appointments took
startling turn today, when the Ameri-
can Hardware company brought in the
superior court mandamus proceeding
against the mayor, seeking to nave de-
livercd to them a warrant for $lIO Wh1cn
they allege has been properly signed
but held up by the mayor In an effort
to get Councilman w. E. Irving OF the
Fifth ward to resign.
Irving is an employe of the hardware
company which did the work, and, 1t Is
charged, the mayor improperly held up
the bill to force the resignation, con-
trary to law.
This caused threats of recall move
ments being started against council
men Irving and Hagerman by the HAN
ford supporters and against Mayor
Hanford by the council majority.
This development, following SO clese
on the heels of the fire department sus-
pensions, has completely disrupted the
business circles of the city mad caused
bitter feeling against the mayor.
The trouble came near causing an
abandonment of the festival of the
Arrowhead plans today and might have
had not a committee of prominent busl-
ness men called on the principals ana
asked a truce of all troubles for sixty
days. and with that understanding II is
believed no further steps Will be taken

SANTA MONICA, April "A lean-to

morning, resulting in a loss of some $500
to Mrs. Katherine Stevens, owner of the
property. Most of the tenants, who

The fire department, which responded

One of the tenants, a Civil War vet

his room a number of deeds to various

which he derives his support. All these
were burned, but the corner of each

LONG BEACH, April mime sticks
of dynamite and burned-out fuse
found at TO-: 30 this morning under the
rear portion of the Stubenbord care
in the DR.. W. H. Prittie building on
East Ocean avenue, are believed by
the police to tell the story of an un-
successful attempt on the part of some
fanatic to wreck the Prittie pharmacy
because of the supposition that liquor
was being sold there.
Whoever placed the dynamite under
the building was ignorant as to its ex-
plosive qualities and expected the
burning fuse to set it off. No fulmin-
ate of mercury cap was used. Hao
illuminate been used the cafe and phar-
macy, both in DIR. Pritties building
the rooming house above and probably
a; half dozen other surrounding build
ings would have been demolished witt
q fearful loss of life.
The police are working on the case
They have indefinite clews, but hope
to ind that one of them will lead tC
the rarty who conceived the diabolica
plot.
Six of the sticks of dynamite were
tied together. The other three were

ploded by the detonation of the bundle
of six. The fuses had been attached
to the six.
The dynamite was discovered by
Charles Stubenbord, chef in the cafe
and brother of the proprietor, Johr

thought he smelled a rat. The back
steps were. moved aside and a search
for the rodent instituted. The dyna-
mite was found almost Immediately.
The frightened employees gingerly
picked it up and placed it on table
in the yard.
"A different sort of rat than I ex-
pected to find" said the chef.
The dynamite was somewhat Soggy
and is supposed to have been lying
under the building a week or more
1t is thought to have been placed be-
meath the cafe, as there is an open
entrance from the alley into the yard
back of the eating place and the drug
store itself offered no convenient place
for the attempt.
Prittie's drug store was raided sew
city administrations, but for about 8
year the place has not been disturbed
by the police and it has been generally
supposed that Dr. Prittie had "cut out
the alleged liquor business. The drug
gist recently refused $4,000 for his
corner property, which, so far as the
location is concerned, is one of the best
in the city,
