Mother Fights Doctor Away From
 Her Injured Boy

In frenzy of mother-love following the fall of her four-year-old son from a third story window yesterday after non Mrs. George Hoven of 769 Arctic street fought like a tigress at the idea of giving up the injured child to care of the ambulance surgeon and refused to let the boy leave her arms for an instant.
 The accident occurerd at 5:10 p. m. and it was not until o'clock in the evening that the woman's husband prevailed upon her to send for phy- sician, Dr.. H. w. Herman was fin ally called and found the boy in a SCI ous condition with fractured skull. The child was hurried to the Bridgeport hospital where today his condition was reported as quite dan gerous.
 ! When the accident occurred neigh bors summoned the ambulance corps. Mrs Hoven, who cannot speak Eng fish, had her son in her arms when the ambulance arrived and acted like @ mad-woman when the doctor tried to attend to the injured boy Threats and arguments were equally useless and the services of an interpreter proved futile The surgeon finally was forced to leave without attending the boy. Mrs. Hoyen declared that she did not send for the ambulance and would let no one touch her boy but herself.

What could furnish stronger evil
dence of the efficiency of any rem
edy than the test of time. Thous-
ands of people testify that Doan's
Kidney Pills cure permanently.
Grateful endorsements should
prove undoubtedly the merits of this

this locality testified to the relief
they had derived from the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills. They now
confirm their testimonials. They
say that time has completed the test.
o. Anderson, of Ellsworth, Wis,
says: alt gives me pleasure to con-
firm all said when publicly en-
dorsed them in 1907. For several
years my back was weak, and once,
when STOPPING, pain suddenly
darted through my kidneys, laying
me up for three weeks. In cold,
damp weather my kidneys bothered
me more than at any other time
and l was obliged to get up at night
to pass the kidney secretions. A
supply of Doan's Kidney Pills was
procured and their use relieved me
so greatly that l was convinced of

A Good Message

Many people right here in this
vicinity are all run down, tired out,
discouraged, don't know what ails
them. This condition is usually the
result of imperfect digestion, over
work Of the brain or body, lack of
nutrition, or some organic trouble.
If you are generally run down, cas-
lily fatigued, weak, all tired out, no
strength, energy or appetite, you
can not afford to delay moment
longer, but start to-day to cure your
self by taking Meritol Tonic Di-
gestive. This tonic will cure con-
ditions like this, because in natural
manner it acts first upon the stom-
ach, strengthens the digestive or
gans, creates hearty appetite, and
makes rich, red blood. 1t will i'm
part new life and strength to every
organ in the body. Meritol Tonic
Digestive has proven a good mes
sage to many others, why not to
you? The druggist, whose name
appears below, is authorized by the
directors of the American Drug &
Press Association to guarantee this
preparation. G. r. TAGGART,

should Wisconsin men come to the
coast and pay thousand dollars
an acre for orchards which they
might raise themselves at home?
"Oh, we don't want TO pother."
Yes, but that is what fruit farming
is; it is pothering with little bits of
land. "Oh, but labor is cheaper
out here!" How cheap? l think
that few men get help here of any
kind that doesn't cost from twenty
cents an hour upward. Get the
map from the commissioner of agri-
culture and see where he outlines in
his fruit survey as the apple region
of Wisconsin and if you are not far
enough north go up on the lake and
buy some stumpage and :plant an
orchard. Write it up, work it out,
and become a competitor with
Oregon.
Why let the next generation dis
cover things that we ought to
know? And why not enjoy privi-
leges that would be as great a
blessing to ourselves.

FOR BETTER ROADS

Under the provisions of the new
state aid law (Chapter 337, Laws of
1919 towns can get county and
state aid for almost any kind of
permanent road improvement, if
they have voted a tax, or will prior
to Sept. l, 1911, vote tax, for the
improvement.
The new law is unique among
state aid laws in the fact that it
covers not only the work of grad
ing, drainage and surfacing with
stone or gravel, but also includes
earth road work of permanent
nature, such as cutting down hills,
relocating roads around hills, un-
derdraining swampy places, making
fills across swamps, and in fact,
any work that will produce a last
ing Improvement. 1t is expected
that the state, county and town will
each pay one-third of the cost of
road work. A town must vote tax
of at least $500 for improving a
road.
Any bridge over six feet in span
can also be built with state aid un-
der the new law. 1t is expected
that the state will pay 20 per cent
and the county and town each 40
per cent of the cost of bridges. A
town must vote a tax of at least
$3.50 for building bridge or
bridges.
All roads and bridges improved
under the law must lie on the pros
pective system of state highways,
selected or to be selected tor each
county ny its county board. Towns
must vote taxes for 1912 work on or
before September l, 1911, and town
boards must petition the county
board through the county clerk on
or before September l, 1911.
Counties which wish 20 build
roads in 1912 with county and state
funds alone must vote county tax
before Oct. /, 1911 But if county
wishes to proceed in the usual way
with the town, county and state
each sharing the cost, no action by
the county board is necessary until
the November, 1911, session.

OBITUARY
A. L. BREKKE

A. L. Brekke, a highly respected
early settler of Marteli, Wis, after
few weeks of illness, passed from
his earthly home while surrounded
/ by his children at the home on Sun
day morning, July %, 1911.
The immediate cause of death
was asthma, heartfailure and weak
ened old age; he then being eighty
one years, four months and five
days old.
Deceased was born in MEDIUM,
Norway, on March Is, 1880, and anne
with his parents and brothers to
America in 1854, directly to Martell
where they located, and where he
later secured farm home, and has
since continually resided with his
family.
He was married in 1862 to Miss
Jorgina Johnson, of Centerville, a
most esteemable lady and helpmate
in life until she was called to her
eternal home nearly twenty-three
years ago.
Six children-three daughters and
three sons, several grandchildren
and two brothers survive to mourn
and miss the dear departed one.
They are Mrs. Theodore Bake of
New Centerville, Mrs. William,
Gieses of Martell, Mrs. Levine Barg
of River Falls, and Julius and Ole
of Griggs county, North Dakota,
and Edward, who lives on the home
farm in Martell. The brothers are
Henry of Lake Park, and Andrew
of Willmar, Minnesota. Two chill
dren, Lewis o. and Miss Josephine,

Deceased has continued to reside
with his son Edward and family,
surrounded with marked kindness
for every comfort in favoring con-
tentment, and has been a constant
faithful member of the Methodist
Episcopal church during the past
twenty five years.
The impressive funeral services,
conducted at the home and nearby
church, by the Rev. E. T. Scharl-
lett of Minneapolis, were most ably
delivered in an effective manner in
the presence of relatives and a large
number of friends, who SO kindly in
sympathy accompanied the remains
to the last rest in the M. E. cemetery
near the church, where other mem
bers of the family rest.
A large gathering of friends, even
from distance, was appreciated, as
indications of the high esteem en-
tertained in that community toward
him, as also a mark that modest
Christian principles, with sterling
integrity tends to the requirement
of friendship and serene happiness
in this life, and favorable, hopeful
anticipations of the future. *x*
