BOB NEAL BADLY INJURED.

The information was brought to
Grangeville this week that Bob Neal,
the well known mining man, had sus-
tanned serious injuries last week while
hauling wood, and is now In a pre-
carious condition. 1t is said Bob was
hauling a load Of wood from his home
stead above Golf, and had reached the
grade at the Golf bridge when the
wagon came uncoupled. The team
held the front wheels, but the hind
wheels broke loose and with the wood
and driver went tumbling over the
grade, landing at the bottom with the
greater part of the wood on top of
the driver. 1t is said that Mr.. Neal
had both legs broken and sustained
other serious bruises and injuries,
the extent of which could hardly be
ascertained at the time. DR.. Foskett
was called and the injured man was
taken to higgins for treatment. 1t
is said that the doctor so far refuses
to make any statement as to the prob
able outcome of the case. Mr.. Meals
friends in Grangeville greatly regret
to learn of his serious misfortune.

A TWENTY DAY FAST.

While loading a wagon with hay
from a stack which had slid over at
the top, Albert Fray uncovered a sum-
mer calf of about four months old,
which had been missing for the past
four weeks. The calf had been run
ming loose to the hay stack when it
completely disappeared, and Albert
did not know but that the coyotes
had appropriated it. He decided to
fence the hay to keep the stock from
it. Eighteen days later he discovered
the calf under the stack. 1t had been
there at least eighteen days and prob
ably four weeks, without food or wa
ter. 1t was too weak to bat its eye,
but has since been handled ON milk
and water in small quantities until
it has about decided to make a live

WHY CHILLY WEATHER
 BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says skin pores are closed and uric acid remains in
 Blood.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age, sex, color or rank. Ii not the most dangerous of human afthctons 1t IS one of the most painful. Those Sub- jcct to rchumatism should eat less meat, unless as warmly as possible: avoid any undue exposure and, above all drink lots of pure water.
 Rheumatism is caused by uric acid which is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. 1t IS the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood Ot this impuritY. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and slug gish and fail to eliminate this uric acid which keeps accommodating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism.
 At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put a tablespoon in a glass of water and drink be- fore breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action. thus ridding the blood of these impurities.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folk who are subpect to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas ant, cffervescent lithia- water drink which overcomes uric acid and is beneficial to your kidneys as we'll

CARL A. CARLSON
 ON SAFETY BOARD
Mayor QuigIcy Completes New Board With Another Eleventh Hour
 Appointment.

Following his policy of first discoN- ering whether a man would serve be- fore making an appointment, Mayor Quigley late Saturday afternoon named the third member of his new safety board The appointee is Carl A. Carlson, said to be an old factory friend of His Honor. MT. Carlson lives at 31 Dwight street and is em- ployed in the scales department at Landers. FrarN X Clark. He is mar ricd and has two children both daughters He is prominently identi- fled with the Swedish Republican club, Norden Lodge, I. o. c. T., and other Swedish organizations. He is also local correspondent of the Swed- ish paper, Scandinavian"
 MT. Carlson's appointment will mean the immediate retirement of Commissioner A. F. MagnelI, who, now that the crisis is passed will again devote himself exclusively to his clerlIship duties. He will be in a position to give the board invaluable advice as he alone of the organization has any real knowledge of the work ings of the safety board
 Comments on the new appointment are of varying character. Those close to the mayor feel that he has acted shrewdly in appointing MT. Carl son, as only last week the Swedish Republican Club gave His Honor an unqualified endorsement and in grate- full recognition the mayor has re- turned the compliment by naming a man representative os the Scandi- navian interests in the city It is eX- pleted the new board will get togeth- CT this week for formal organization l F.. G. Babcock appointed last week, 1 will be chairman. Frank J. Moran will represent the democrats and Mr. 1 Carlson. the republicans. Mir. Bab- 1 cock, the new chairman, is also re- 1 publican. i
