Mrs. George HaSkin~
Called By Death

This community was sadly
shocked Monday when telegram
was received announcing the
death of Mrs. George Haskin at
her home near Bitten, Ore. The
message gave no details and the
cause of death was not learned
until the bereaved husband ar
rived with the remains on We'd
nesday evenings train, when it
was learned that death was due
TO complications following child
birth. Mrs. Haskin gave birth
to a baby son on February 18th
and apparently regained her
health in good shape. A few
days before her death she COM
planned of pain at the back of the
head and in her feet and, while
not confined to her bed at all, had
one or two sinking spells the last
of which resulted in her death.
Owing to the distance from a
town of any size it was impossible
to secure medical aid on short
notice and almost before it was
realized the lady was i'll death
occurred. Following her death
the heartbroken husband convey
ed the remains out to Burns,
distance of some ninety miles,
where they were prepared for
shipment to this place, a nurse
accompanying Mr.. Haskin and
babe until they were met by the
young mans mother and younger
brother. They reached this place
Wednesday evening n d t h e
young wife was laid tenderly to
rest in the local cemetery yester-
day afternoon, the funeral being
held from the home of her par
ents and many friends and form
er school mates attending the sad
rites.
Nellie Julian was born in Day.
ton, Wash, and died near Blitz-
en-, Ore, on April Goth, 1917,
aged % years, 2 months and 26
days. When but a child she came
to Cottonwood with her parents
and spent the greater part of her
life at this place, graduating from
the local high school with honor
a few years ago and later being
employed for several months as
assistant at the post office. On
April IL, 1915, she was united in
marriage to George Haskin and
resided on a farm here for about
a year, then moving to their
homestead in southern Oregon.
The deceased was the youngest
child of the family and the apple
of her parents eye. She was a
young lady possessed of much
good sense and fine qualities and
her pleasant manner endeared
her to all who made her acquaint-
ance. Her untimely death, com
ing just at the threshold of hel
welded life, is a severe blow not
only to her husband but to many
friends as we'll. Their consola-
ton is that her life was without
blemish and that, she has beer
called home where she will res
secure in the bosom of the Lord.
The floral offerings and the
kindness of the many friends II
Cottonwood and vicinity will
never be forgotten and word
cannot express our grateful feel
ings for the kindness shown III
in our sorrow.

DR.. Richard C. Cabot, who is head
Of the Massachusetts, General Hospit'
al, has been writing for the American
Magazine, April and May, on the sub
ject of Better Doctoring for Less Mo-
ney."
He says that "a new era has come
IN the practice of medicine, but most
people do not know 1t yet. We have
begun to emerge from that stage Of
medical work in which the doctor
was peddler selling goods from
house to house, into the more adyanC'
ed and sensible era in which the doc
tor stays at his place OF business, like
anyone else who has goods to sell,
and the people who want these goods
come to him. The shop where he has
his goods to sell is generally called
a hospital and he has associated with
him there a body of men and women
similar to work people, foremen and
managers Of any industrial plant or
dry goods store. He has there some
beginnings ia satisfactory division
of labor and specialization Of function,
Therefore, he can give the public
much better article for less money.
1.-THE article l refer TO is sound
medical advice and treatment"
This is Just what DR.. Pierce has
been doing at the Invallds' Hotel in
Buffalo, New York. DR.. V. NJ. Pierce
has associated with him DR.. Lee II,
Smith, who Is vice president and head
surgical director and operator, and
there are a dozen other physicians
and specialists, as we'll as four chem
lists, and the poor and the very rich
get the best medical attention. AS
DR.. Cabot has PROPERLY said, When
YOU go to doctors office you may
complain Of nothing more abstruse
than headache or a stomach.ache,
yet for the solution Of the problem
represented by your suffering there
may be needed an X-ray examination,
chemical tests such as very few ex'
perts are capable Of making, the con-
sultation Of experts in diseases of the
eye, the ear and the throat, and the
