Louis Palmer, Son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
M. NJ. Palmer, Loses His Life
on Sunday
DIFFICULT TASK TO
RAISE THE BODY
Young Man Heroically Goes Down
Pole and Brings Remains to the
Surface

The Wisconsin river claimed an
other victim on Sunday Louis Palmer,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. M. M. Palmer,
Baraboo, lost his life, about two miles
west of Merrimack on Sunday after
noon, a little before o'clock.
In company with his parents and
other members of the family he had
gone to the place where the highway
and railroad cross a stream which
flows south from the Baraboo bluffs.
Since the dam was built at Prairie du
Sac the water backs up this stream,
making it desirable place for fishing
and boating Hundreds of people
stop there for pleasure. Years ago
there was a dam in the stream and
mill operated.
After the family had taken their
picnic lunch, Louis and his brother
Harold went north from the highway
bridge to the railroad or culvert,
about an eighth of mile away, to
indulge in a swim. They had not
been gone long before the younger
brother gave the alarm that Louis was
drowning. Max Springer, William j.
Radtke of Baraboo, and others ran to
the spot but could do nothing as there
was no boat at hand and the water
is from fourteen to eighteenfeetdeep
where he went down. A message was
sent to a Baraboo physician to bring
the pulmoter. In twenty-five minutes
the machine was there, but the body
had not been recovered.
Difficult to Raise Body
The young man went down beneath
the railway culvert. Boats were
brought and hooks thrust down, but
the body could not be pulled up on
account of the upper end of the pole
striking the mason work above.
Those who Joined in the rescue were
able to hook the body, but could not
lift it to the surface under existing
conditions. Finally Henry Bittrlck,
Jr.. went down a pole, seized the
body and brought it to the surface.
The young man had been in the water
two hours and the body was rigid

YOUNG PEOPLE
AT THE CHURCH
They Respond to Invitation to Attend
Meeting at Trinity Last
Evening.

The young people responded to the
invitation to attend the revival meet
inxs at Trinity church last night IN
such numbers that whole section
was filled with young men and woni
en-. The text was, Remember now
thy creator in the days Of thy youth"
Rev. Huff said youth was spring
time when the seed IS sown for the
harvest He called 1t the June tire
of sowing for the January Of reaping.
The sermon was void of slang and
sentiment, but scholarly and simple
in construction. The young FOLKS
were interested and attentive as the
preacher told them they should re-
member God because He was their
creator and provided so providentially
for them He raised the question as
to how many had taken time to thank
God that they were not in warning
Europe or in ignorant, pitiable Mex
leo. They should be thankful that
they have inherited all the blessings
of a christian civilization. By refer
ring to the leading psychologists Of
the day, the evangelist made the
claim that youth was the easiest time
to rem ember God. Specialists have
discovered that the great majority Of
people who are ever converted, turn
TO God between ten and twenty-five.
Then to prove that the discovery was
correct, he asked those who had been
converted between those ages. and the
great majority Of the congregation
arose. AS he asked for those who
were converted later in life, the num-
her who stood decreased until no one
arose who was converted after fifty
years Of age. The reason is that the
mind is more impressdonable, the
heart more tender, and the conscience
is keener.
A deep impression was made on all
present as Rev. Huff gave a chapter

Why Rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather

CBy Valentine Mott Pierce, M. ~
A close connection exists SStW con
these two-cold weather and rheuma-
tisn. Prof. Alex Haig, OF London,
has the most followers In the medl-
cal profession in the belief that the
presence in the system OF uric ACID.
or it's salts in excess, Is the real
cause Of rheumatism. Every one mas
recognized the difference in the az.
pearance of their water as soon as II
gets cold; there is often a coptous
sediment of "brickdust."
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the sys-
tenn, which, in turn, cause rheuma-
tism or govt, or creaky joints. sWol-
len finger. or painful joints. For one
reason the skin does not throw off
the uric acid, by profuse sweating,
as in the hot weather, and the kidneys
are unable to take care of the double
burden. Another reason is that peo-
pie do not drink as much water IN
cold weather as in summer, which
helps to flush the kidneys. Again,
they eat more meat in cold weather,
and some people are SO susceptible
that they soon develop rheumatism
after eating meat.
At all such times persons should
drink copiously OF hot water, say. a
pint morning and night. and take
Anurtc double strength) three or four
times day. This Anuric comes in
tablet form and can be had at almost
any drug store. It dissolves the URIC
acid In the system and carries 1t out
ward. I would advise everyone to
take Anuric occasionally, and con-
tinue for three or four weeks. and In
that way avoid rheumatism, govt and
many Of the painful disorders due to
uric acid in the system.
Make yourself healthy and strong
by open-air exercise and diet. Then
cleanse the liver by occss ionally
stimulating its action with pleasant

CHURCH SERVICE
Rev. Wallace r. Bacon Arranges NeH'
Features for First Christian
Church-Motlo Pictures.

Rev. Wallace r. Bacon, pastor OF
the First Christian church. IS re-
organizing the plan Of church serv-
ice and receiving favorable COM
mendation from the local congrega'
ton. Some years ago the church
school arranged what was called
Junior church for the children under
twelve years of age. This has been
found very helpful and the junior
church has been largely attended.
More recently, Rev. Bacon has ar
ranged for the junior church to take
part in the forenoon services TOT
fifteen minutes, after which 1t repairs
To different rooms where the services
OF the junior congregation are CON
Quoted. A part of this participat ion
IN the forenoon services consists OF
a sermon of about eight or ten MN
utes by the pastor on some theme IN
which the child mind would be inter
ested. This has been particularly IN.
teresting and many Of the older ones
in the congregation enjoy very much
the services and the sermon for~ahe
juniors.
For several months Rev. Bacon has
been conducting an investigation as
to the advisability and manner ana
plan Of using the motion picture equip
ment belonging to the. church schonl.
Me has written to numerous pastors
residing in various places and sem
them series of questions pertaining
to the use of the motion picture in
connection with religious instruction.
Practically all have written in fl
yor OF the use Of the machine, and
have suggested various plans of use.
AS a result of this investigation,
Rev, Bacon preached upon the ar
swers to his various questions on las-
Sunday forenoon, and at the conclus'
ION of the sermon a vote was taken
by the congregation, and by an a.
most unanimous ballot. it was decid'
ed to make as much use OF the mo-
ton picture equipment as possible.
Rev. Bacon says:
eve hope to receive religious, edu-
cational, social and advertising value
from our equipment. Our purpose
will be to present films that will err
force the lessons taught in the church
school and the preaching service,
Travel and scientific films will some
times be shown. They have an edu-
cational value and we will endeavor
tn give them a social value too. Fesi-
ture films, carefully selected. may be
shown on occasion as a contribution
to the social life OF the church. THO
motion picture has place IN the NE
of every twentieth century boy or
girl, whether we will or not. We 10
not purpose to compete With the mo
ton picture theatre in the presenta-
ton of drama. But we do plan to take
advantage Of any advertising value
there may be in motion pictures.
For the present the machine Will
be used for about twenty minutes at
the close Of the evening service,
showing a religious film which will be
made to retell the story OF the SER
mon and recall the message in tho
way that will fix 1t upon the mind.
There will be no admission charged
as this will be part of the regular
evening service. On next Sunday
evening film will be presented en-
titled "Abraham's Sacrifice"
