SWIFT THIEF sPoILS FUN OF
LAUREL CANYON CAMPERS

Nimble-fingered fellows picked up a
photograph and a package of eggs last
night which they espied on a bench at
the Los Angeles Pacific Electric station
on Fourth street.
Oscar Harper of 1928 West Twenty
eighth street and James Livingston OF
1882 West Twenty-ninth street deposited
the package there while buying tickets
intending to go to their cabin in Laurel
canyon for their weekend outing there
The disappearance happened in a few
minutes interval and the thief must
have mingled with the crowd and
boarded q passing car in order to make
so rapid a getaway.

GREAT PHYSICAL
AND MENTAL AGONY

Before we can symphathize with
others, we must have suffered our
selves" No one can realize the SUIT
fering attendant upon an attack OF
the grip, unless he has had the actual
experience. There is probably no
disease that causes so much physical
and mental agony, or which SO sue
cessfully dcfies medical aid. All dan
ger from the grip, however, may be
avoided by the prompt use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy, not one case has ever been
reported that has resulted in pncu-
monia or that has not recovered.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty
Costs Nothing to Try 1t

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is the safest and most efficient disinfec-
tant and purifier in nature, but Few real
ize its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purposes
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better; 1t is not drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and I'M
purities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth ana
further acts as a natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t dis
fnfects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
Ali druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another. but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money Is In
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: they are
composed Of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal and other harmless antiseptics
IN tablet form. or, rather, in the form of
large pleasant tasting lozenges, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will soon
tell In a much improved condition Of the
general health, petteF complexion, sWeeter
breath and purer blood and the beauty
of Il Is that no possible harm can result
from their continued use, but, on the
contrary great benefit.
Buffalo physician, in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: II advise Stu
arts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in stomach and bowels,
and to clear the complexion and purify
the breath. mouth and throat: I also be-
lieve the liver is greatly benefited by the

THREAT OF GRIP
AND ITS DANGERS

"The increased mortality of the last
three weeks from lung affections fol-
lowing attacks of grip, emphasizes
more than ever the necessity for nurs-
ing an initiatory cold.
The Herald, always anxious con-
corning the public health, has repeat
undue exposure during Indictment
weather, and now reiterates the in
junction with still more earnestness in
view of present conditions.
Most of the fatal cases of pneumo-
MIA at this time of the year are due to
the lack of timely treatment of what
appears to be a simple attack of bron-
chial catarrh. The taking of the
stitch N time is at the bottom of all
questions of prevention of other more
serious ones lying in wait for solution.
1t is we'll to take into account IN
such connection that February and
March are generally considered the
most fatal months for pneumonia,
especially when influenza is prevailing
even in mild epidemic form.
Thus far we have escaped a vista
ton of virulent form of the latter
malady, but there is abundance of time
and opportunity for the development
of severe epidemic, with the usual
aftermath of alarming mortality.
The effective treatment of an ordi-
nary cold is matter of day or two
against possible subsequent sickness
for weeks.
The indications Of a severe attack
of influenza are headache, chil1iness,
general muscular pains, fever, sore
throat, cough and systemic lassitude.
When these show themselves no time
is to be lost and the patient should
give up work at once and promptly
place himself under proper medical
care. New York Herald.

DANGERS FROM GRIP

An attack of grip seldom results
fatally, but it is the indirect cause OF
many deaths. If it does not result In
pneumonia, which is frequently the
case, it leaves its victim with cough
which fingers on long after every
other symptom of the disease has van
ished. The system is thus left in a
weakened condition and is susceptible
to almost every other disease. The
grip can be greatly lessened in its
severity if Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is used, and any tendency toward
pneumonia is promptly checked. There
is no medicine which has met with
greater success in the treatment of
this disease. 1t cures the cough and
leaves the system in a natural and
healthy condition.

WHAT IS THE GRIP?
WHAT IS IT'S EFFECT ?

These questions are best answered
by several eminent medical men II
published interviews. The most i'm
portant points emphasized by the fam
GUS doctors are these:
Grip is highly infectious.
Grip stimulates other diseases.
Grip has an extraordinary effect on
the mental functions.
Grip picks out the weak points IN a
PERSONS constitution.
The victims of the grip are adults
who perish from pneumonia or bron-
chitis and the aged who sink from
heart exhaustion.
Children while prone to the disease,
enjoy comparative immunity from its
complications and dangers.
Grip shows decided tendency to
relapses, a feature to which the indi-
rect faculty of the disease is in great
measure due.
Alcoholic stimulants are not only
unnecessary but positively harmful.
At attack of the grip seems TO rem
der the individual more liable to con-
tract the disease from future expo
sure.
The attack comes on with lightning
like speed A person in apparently
perfect health is suddenly overcome
by feeling of discomfort. He feels
chilly or shakes with the rigor worthy
of an ague. His head aches. There
are pains in his eyeballs and other
symptoms characteristic of the dis
ease soon follow.

City and County Lawmakers Hope to
Pass Legislation Monday
Authorizing Relief
Work

City officials and county supervisors,
the necessary legislation which will
permit the immediate expenditure OF
from $4,000 IL $4,000 on building a
boulevard between Elysian and Griffith
parks, and other public work, the pri-
mary object being to put idle men with
families to work.
The finance committee of the city
council yesterday agreed to push the
movement which Mayor A. C. Harper
inaugurated. and it is believed enough
votes will be mustered. as Councllmen
Lyon, Healy, Dromgold, Clampitt and
Blanchard are counted on to vote for
the special appropriat ton. If passed the
ordinance will be effective Friday.
Inspector of Public Works d. X. Ed
wards yesterday submitted to the COM
mittee the following statement in this
connection:
I'm view OF the labor situation
and the crowd of men who are be-
sieging the street department for
work at almost any wage, I feel
justified in recommending that 1
be placed in a position, by ordin-
ance, thai I may give work to more
men and still keep within my APP
preparation.
Contractors tell me that they
can get all the men they want at
S1.75 to So for nine hours work.
II know ii Is unpopular to reduce
wages, but the man out of a job
has rights to be considered. His
groceries and other things cost just
as big a price as those of the man
who has a job. If laborers' wages
were put back to So per day-the
minimum wage prescribed by stat
ute for public work. l could put
nine men to work where now I have
eight: 1SC Where / now have 100.
There is plenty of work to be
done, with only SO much money to
use. The question Is, To how many
men shall II be paid?
IT am ready at any time to go
over with yCu-as mentioned some
months ago-the salary list in the
street department to see if any
changes can be made.
For the balance of this fiscal
year 1 will cut 10 per cent of my
salary into a fund to give work to
the unemployed"

CAN GRIP BE
PREVENTED d?

Sir William Broadbent, an eminent
English Physician relates his exper-
fence in preventing the disease as fol-
lows: From the first invasion OF in
fluenza (grip) / have found that the
best remedy was quinine. ! havc had
opportunities of obtaining extraordi-
nary evidence of its protective power.
In large public school near London,
the girls and the mistresses took their
morning dose of quinine, but the serv-
ants were forgotten. The result was
that scarcely girl or mistress sur
fered, while the servants were all
down with influenza grip. As a
preventive, take two grains OF the
bi-sulphate of quinine after breakfast
each day.

Fire at the Ohio hotel on North
Broadway destroyed a mattress and
damaged the carpet on the foorc in

Guests at the hotel complained of the
smell of burning cloth some time be-
fore the fire was discovered.
When located it was almost impos-
sible to reach the room on account of
the dense smoke which filled the hall
way.
The door was opened and a small fire
extinguisher was brought into play, the
fire being finally put out.
1t Is thought the fire was caused by
someone throwing a lighted match or
cigarette on the bed.
The damage will amount to about SIS.
