Body Of Defective
Baby Is Buried

Chicago, Nov. ia coroner's jury
Of six eminent medical and surgical
men pondered today over Vhe death of
Mrs Anna Bollinger's s baby.
Their verdict was expected this after
noon. It was believed that the jury
not only would exonerate DR.. Haisel-
den for his decision not to operate and
thus possibly prolong the child IS life
but would commend him for his course.
Its verdict to the coroner probably
means an end to the case, though not
certainly
Further investigation has developed
that the child was even more defective
than at first revealed.
Baby Bollinger, dressed in dainty
clothes made in anticipation of its
birth, was placed in little casket to-
day and buried in a vault. The casket
was carried to the cemetery in the same
carriage with the father and few
relatives.

THE NEWEST REMEDY FOR
BACKACHE, RHEUMATIS AND DROPSY

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid troub-
les bring misery to many. When the
kidneys are weak or diseased, these
natural filters do not cleanse the blood
sufficiently and the poisons are car
ried to all pats of the body. There
follow depression, aches and pains,
heaviness, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, chilliness and rheumatism. In
some people there are sharp pains in
the back and loins, distressing bladder
disorders and sometimes obstinate drop
sy. The uric acid sometimes forms in
to gravel or kidney stones. When the
ur;c acid affects the muscles and the
joints, it causes mmbago, rheumatism,
gout or sciatica. This is the time to
try "An-uric. +"
During digestion uric acid is alb
sorbed into the system from meat eat
en-, and even from some vegetables. The
poor kidneys get tired and baekache
begins. This is q good time to take

Fruitland, Or, Nov. 19.-Thursday
the llth, Mrs. H. G. Bressler was called
to Albany to attend the funeral of her
brother, Mr.. Fred Simpson, who died
the day before. The cause of death
was probably cancer of the stomach
with complications. Interment was in
the family burial plot at Airlie, Polk

The school board has recently pur-
chased SOME desk tops, flag and
some other articles.
Tuesday night sudden gust of wind
overturned gates and fences for some

has been reported.
Francis Schrunk has treated his
creamery hack to a coat of paint lately,

The late rains found some of the
farmers about to SOW their fields TO

days. Some potatoes are yet in the
ground but most are dug and stored.
| note that some of the merchants
OF Salem are complaining about the
scales the farmers are using at the pub
lie market, claiming that they give
short weight. The report further states
that none of the patrons of tac market
complain. Here is another ease where
the merchants "butt in and show a
meddlesome spirit when the farmer tries
to sell things to the people of Salem.
They seem to want to do all the bust
ness and crowd the farmer out. Here

Sentiment In Favor
of Bridge Is Growing

Dallas, Or, Nov, 19.-Sentiment in
favor of the construction of new
bridge across the Willamette river at
Salem is rapidly spreading over Polk
county. The unanimous report of the
various engineers who have inspected
the present structure that the same is
dangerous is having its effect here. The
bridge is closed at times when the
wind blows to any considerable extent,
and thus traffic is greatly hindered and
delayed.
1t is believed now that way may be
found whereby Polk county can pay
its share of the expense of a new
bridge without calling special elec.
ton therefor.
