OBITU4RY NOTES.
Poll, Promising Young Man
Dies After n Long Illness.

Adolph Poll, son of the late Joseph
A. Poll, and nephew Of Manager S. q.
Poll died yesterday afternoon after an
Illness of several months. Although
from the outset of the malady the best
physicians obtainable gave no hope,
Mr.. Poll was insistant that no effort
should be spared. DR.. Verdi, the young
mans physician, took into consultation
Drs. Carmalt and Allng, and then at
Mr.. Polls request took the young man
to New York, where the best specialists
in the city were consulted, but all were
of the same opinion-nothing could be
done to save his life
The trouble was a tumor on the
brain, which was in such a position
that an operation could not be per-
formed. All other remedies failed to
dispense 1t.
The deceased was young man of
bright, genial character who made
many friends to whom his death will
be a severe blow. Much sympathy is
expressed for the family over this be-
reavement following SO close on that Of
his fathers.
The funeral will take place Saturday
morning

"DAINTY FOOD"
Turns Pale Cheeks to Pink.

Our best physicians of the present
day seek to cure patients by the use
of food, rather than heavy drugs, and
this is the true method for all physi-

the body be rebuilt
Many people fail to give their physi-
clans credit. for, after living on poorly
selected or badly cooked food for a
long time, perhaps, and when their all
ments become chronic, they expect the
Doctor, with some magic potency, to
instantly rebuild them.
This is not possible The only true
method is to turn as quickly as can
be from poor food to good A young
