Story Was Inaccurate.

The Chicago Record Herald has a
full page feature story yesterday in
which it told of the activities of Miss
Virginia Brooks in West Hammond.
The story was a fanciful thing, but
very inaccurate. Like most feature
stories it was an appeal to the imagi-
nation rather than statement of fact
Miss Brooks was quoted saying
things that are SO erroneous that any
one who knows of Miss Brooks init
mate knowledge of the West Ham
mond situation knows that she was not
the author of the statements.

the craft into Hammond waters because
OF the iprovement.
The heavy rudder of the boat dashed
the soft mud of the river and drove 1t
toward the shore, thus cleaning out the
channel for the motor boats. Gases
were continually fermenting al the bot
tom of the river. The agitation of the
water by the big boat released the
gases, and the river as result is
greatly improved.
For some reason Hammond people did
not take advantage OF the river rides
they might have had. The Grand Cal
umet. while almost a cesspool between
Holman street and Calumet avenue, at
fords really a delightful ride beyond
these points. but most people are un-
der the impression that the river is
equally nauseating from source tc
mouth.

It used to be thought that a cross. nervous person had a bad disposi- tion." Now it is known that a ner- vous condition often results from kid ney trouble.
 There is a great deal of uric acid made in the human body. It is the duty of the kidneys to filter off this uric acid, but when the kidneys are weak, the poison is peddled about the body by the blood, and it irritates the whole nervous system, causing head ache, dizzy spells. fits of 'blues." neu- ralgic attacks, rheumatic pain. weak eyesght, dull, tired days. and a con- stant inclination to worry over trifles.
 You feel as if you can't stand any noise about you. The little ones often wonder what makes mother so cross and nervous. The business man is ill., tempered with his help. and makes a big fuss over every little thing that goes wrong.
 Another effect of uric poisoning is dropsy, or bloating-puffy pouches be- low the eyes. swollen wrists. ankles and limbs.
 Kidney trouble makes urination ir- regular. passages too frequent. or scanty and painful. and gradually brings on attack of gravel, stone in

 His time since then has been fully occupied in taking out fishing parties nearly every day. When he has no fishing party out he has a good load for Point LOma or points of interest around the bay There is a fine de- mand for his boat and he really has all that he can do. MT. Williams is a very capable man with a boat and is a genial companion.
 During the summer a good many Tempe residents who chanced to be at san Diego enjoyed his hospitality. the writer among them, and when the time comes for him to put the boat up for the winter and return to Tempe, it will be with sincere regret on his part.

MESA
DEATH OF JOE RIDDEN
 ON A TEXAS TRAIN
A Former Energetic Mesa Contractor
 Passes Away.

Notice of the death of Joe RhOden,
 at one time a prominent contractor of Mesa, has been given in this col
 umn, but at that time no particulars could be obtained. Last week Mrs. Rhoden received by letter the story of the unfortunate event so far as will ever be known. It should be borne in
 mind that MT. Rhoden left Mesa for the purpose of visiting his sons in
 Texas, the two boys being the child
 ren of MT. Rhoden and q former wife who died in Mesa. They were stay
 ing with their mothers people. While in Texas MT. Rhoden found an oppor- tunity to secure a number of paying contracts for the erection of build
 ings and his return was delayed. A year ago he wrote Mrs. Rhoden that
 he would be in Mesa on a certain date. When he did not arrive at the time specified, the wife wrote for in formation and found that he had drawn all his money from the Texas bank and started for Mesa. Foul play was feared and inquiries were set on foot to locate him. The Knights of Pyth-

iaS took the matter up, as Mir Rho den was a member of Damon Lodge No. 19, Mesa. Through the efforts of
 the organization the lost man was Hound, engaged on contract. which The had secured. and had simply ne :glected to notify his relatives of his change in plans. Recently he again
 wrote Mrs Rhoden of his intention to
 return home within a stated time. A
 letter from Mrs. F. C. Shirey of Luf- kin, Texas, states that on the 7th of August he left Houston, stating that he was going straight home On the 10th following. Mrs. Shirey received a telegram that MT. Rhoden had been found dead on a train in Kansas. She photographed back to ship the body di- rect to. Mrs. Rhoden. at Mesa The
 railroad officials sent word that a de- .posit of $1S5.O0 was required. and in
 stead of wiring Mrs. Rhoden, who would gladly have sent the money the
 body was allowed to be returned to Lufkin, Texas, and was buried there
 The first word received in Mesa was that he was dead and would be buried
 the next day (after receipt of tele- gram)
 The letter received from Texas states that Mir. Rhoden was III at the time of starting. and remarked: 'I know am not able to make the trip. but will try 1t anyway"
 The cause of death was given as heart failure. Rhoden had rot been a well man for several years. and only a few months before going to Texas. had to undergo an operation at the hospital in Phoenix He soon cfter re- turned to work. but was never again the man he had been. He was a very energetic. industrious carpenter and contractor and many of the houses Of Mesa were erected by him or under his supervision. Strictly honest and in all his dealings. he always stood well in this community Mrs. RhOden is the daughter of Mir. F. s. Anderson. one of the substan- tial citizens of Mesa. and she feels | deeply the loss of her husband. and Is especially saddened by the know | ledge that he died alone and unattend- ed by any of those near and dear to | him
