Thousands of people all over this broad
land are being slowly poisoned. They
eat rich foods, drink strong drinks, keep

stomachs, causing poisonous gases to arise
from masses of fermenting food. These
gases slowly poison the blood, deaden
the nerves, weaken the heart. clog the
brain until the whole system Is affected,
Digestit relieves the oh almost in

the overburdened stomach cannot handle

the car, Clarence had never before |
assisted In unloading poles and knew
nothing whatever about the business.
/ am told by the foreman that his en-
CINE was not working well and that
he concluded to unload by cutting the
side supports, which way they had
not used out there before, instead OF
taking them one at time from the
end. Let me say right here that II
does not take a crew of three men
and a foreman to unload in this man
ner. Clarence, with one other was
sent on top of the load to remove the
top wire and when this was done the
other man came down to assist In
other work while Clarence remained
without any suggestion to him at any
time from any person to come down.
The removal of the top wires was the
usual and perhaps necessary way to
unload when taking the poles one at
time from the end, but when un-
loading from the side as they were
then intending to do it is entirely I'M
necessary and by many men long In
the business never done, thus doing
away with the necessity of sending
any one on top of the load.
l have been so far unable to find
any fact or circumstance or any thing
said by any person to indicate that
Clarence knew the poles were to be
unloaded as they were until they fell.
On the contrary every fact and cir
cumstance tends to show that he did
, not The alleged facts as printed on
July LIST indicate that he did not.
He was placed in a position which
was to become extremely dangerous
