Judge Edward M. Burke, of West
eriy, counsel for Gardner B. Kenyon,
appellent,s in the case against Louis
F. Hart, ct al, appellees, in the SUI
preme court at Providence, Friday,
submitted brief and explained mai
points of same on the appellees bill OF
exceptions. Mr.. Kenyon was appoint
ed administrator of the estate of Mos
es Hart by the probate court of the
town of Richmond. On the petition OF
Louis Hart he was removed, on the
allegation that he had neglected and
refused to perform his duty as adj
ministrator and that he had wasted
and was wasting assets of the estate
The probate court denied Kenyon's
right of bill of particulars. He ap-
pealed to the superior court and
made a motion that the court. revoke
the decree of the probate court and
the motion was granted. The appelles
took exceptions and the hearing in the
superior court was the. result. The
contention of the appellant is that he
was entitled to a bill of particular S,
otherwise he could not meet the
charges, the specific charges, if any,
when the case came to trial.

Coroner Everett A. Kingsley, who
recently investigated into the cause of
the death of Francis Waller, and who
gave preliminary report that resulted
in the release of William Kalimus from
police custody, has given out his re-
port in full. Mr.. Waller was killed
by BEING struck by the automobile
by Kalimus, when on the post road on
the night of October 26. Coroner
Kingsley says: The testimony of the
chauffeur and Mrs. Harding was ex-
tremely unsatisfactory and impressed
me with an attempt on their part to
evade."
In conclusion the coroner says: aft
er- considering ALI the testimony and
giving the same weight to which it
is in ruy opinion emitted, hereby find
that Francis Waller came to his death
in consequence of having been struck
by an automobile owned by Harvey
Harding and was driven by William
Kalimus;. that from the unsatisfactory
nature of the testimony it is difficult
to determine whether. or not the death
of Waller was the result of any un-
lawful act of said KaIimus."

upon the nerves in such a manner that
they overstimulate, which contracts
these small blood vessels to an abnor
NAL degree. This drives out the blood,
prevents the ingress of fresh blood SO
that the larger arteries are subjected
to a high pressure and though the in
ternal heat of the body is economical
the heart and blood vessels are exposed
to serious danger from the high blood
pressure. If the heart is weak this may
paralyze it. This danger applies to the
aged whose blood vessels are apt to be
weak and brittle; this is why when cold
weather comes on so abruptly many old
people die. The cause being apoplexy
or congestion Of the lungs.
Another result of sudden cold or
chill is the checking of the perspira-
ton; this results in pneumonia. pleuri-
sy, bronchitis, rheumatism or kidney
trouble, with their attendant dangerous
and often mortal after effects; this is
why we should dress correctly IN win
ter. Clothing is devised to prevent a
loss of heat-viz, to keep the body warm.
1t does not create heat, it preserves it.
| Its proper value is to maintain the
proper equilibrium between the inner
and the outer temperature of the body,
| hence it is important that we pay the
most careful attention to what we
wear in winter.
| The fallacy and foolishness of the
scheme of hardening cur body to inure
cold is one that everybody should be
| warned against. Nothing is more
/ dangerous. Cold prevents development
and Esquimaux and Icelanders are
stunted in both bodily and brain de
velopment and cannot resist any
disease with success. The death rate
of children in Russia in winter is APP
palling. Clothing, III reference to tenn
perature is merely an equivalent for q
certain amount Of food. Clothing saves
labor for the body by retaining and
economizing the heat which would
otherwise be lost and have to be re
placed at the expense of actua
strength.

NEW DIPHTHERIA CONTROL.
Important Adjunct to Antitoxin An
nounced by the Department of Health.

A new agency for controlling diph-
iberia has been discovered which will
serve as an important adjunct to anti
toxin and should result in the further
reduction of diphtheria. 1t is known
as the ''Sohick test Relative to its
nature and its possible value the Mass
aehusetts department. of health makes
the following statement:
. We have been given new hope in
our fight against diphtheria. Gradually
but surely we are acquiring knowledge
necessary to successfully control this
disease. With the discovery Of anti
toxin, many people thought that the
fight had been won. Unfortunately,
the go deaths from this cause in Mass
achusetts last year awalenS us to the
realization of the necessity for renewed
effort.
= a new and useful aid has been put
into our hands by the laboratory. Il
has come as the result of the studies
of Professor Schick of Vienna From
a long series of experiments he has
devised a simple and safe test, which
shows whether given individual is
susceptible to diphtheria or not This
will be invaluable in many ways.
- The results of its use are already
apparent. We are now reasonably Ger
tain that so per cent of children and
80 per cent OF the adults are naturally
immune from diphtheria. This throws
new light upon the spread of the dis
ease and explains why only certain per-
sons take diphtheria even when exposed
TO it. This test win show whether a per
son has sufficient antitoxin in his blood
to overcome an infection with diph-
liberia bacilli.
Some of the other uses of the
Schick test can be summarized as fol-
lows
l 1t will enable the practising ply
stefan to diagnose doubtful membranes
of the throat.
1t will enable us to separate the
susceptible from the non-susceptihle
individuals who have been exposed to
diphtheria.
8 1t will enable US to administer an
titoxin to only those who actually need
it.
1t will enable US to prevent the ac-
cidents due to serum sickness, for we
can determine by the use of this test
whether a large amount of antitoxin
serum would have any i'll effects.
It will enable us to lessen the year
! ~ expenditure for unnecessary anti
toxin.
1t will enable us, when diphtheria
bacilli are demonstrated in the throat
| of an apparently well person, to deter,
mine whether this person is coming
down with the disease or whether he
| is a carrier - --.--.
1t will be seen from these uses
that the Schick test has the possible
ty of a wide range of usefulness.

YES-IT is POSSIBLE
TO STOP RHEUMATISM

Rheumatism is a tormenting and
stubborn malady. In some cases it
yields to treatment which is without
avail in other cases.
The darling pains, lame muscles or
stiffened joints only disappear by grad
ually expelling the uric acid, and SO
many thousands have been relieved by
the blood-enriching oil-food in SCOTS
Emulsion that you should give it a
faithful trial. SCOTS Emulsion acts as
apowerful blood-purifier by increasing
the red corpuscles and it strengthens
the organs to carry off the acids which
cause the trouble.

actly what you need. No Alcohol.

ORIGINAL OF EDNA FERBER
STORIES VISITS pENDLETOA
EMMA MCHESNEY IN FICTION Is
MADAM FARISSEE IN REAL
LIFE.

Many readers OF Pendleon are &C
quainted with Emma Mcchesney. the
energetic and leyel-headed travelling
saIeswomanlw who has been the heroine
OF many charming stories from the
pen Of Edna Ferber and these read
ers will be interested to know that the
original Of Miss Ferber's character
was a visitor In Fendleton last week.
She Is Madame Farissee, travelling
representative Of the Gossard corset
company, and last Friday she paid
one OF her regular visits to the Peo-
piss Warehouse.
Madame Farisses Is an intimate
OF Miss Ferber and the talented au-
thoress found In the experiences OF
this travelling saleswoman much ma
terial for her McChesney stories. For
instance the story Of Mrs. McChes-
ney's detention az South American
customs house was almost exactly the
experience of Madame Farissee In
Australia.
Friends OF Madame Farissee, who
are also acquainted with Miss Fer
ber's creation, profess TO see much
similarity between the real travelling
saieswoman and the travelling sales
woman OF fiction. While here Mad

tornational complications with which
TIE United States is now confronted
were considered by the president and
his cabinet today. Bryan was pres
ent and he submitted TO the president
the text of the second reply from
Great Britain regarding the shipping
protest OF the United Staes. Extend
cd negotiations over the mater is ex-
pected to continue. The cabinet gave
particular attention to the note pre-
scented by Won Bernstorff in which the
offer was made in behalf of Germany
to abandon plans OF an attack on Brit
ish merchantmen IL England would
remove restrictions on food ship
mcnts to Germany. II was feared
here that the prospect for relieving
the strained situation resulting from
this controversy was dim.
