ANDERSON'S BODY
TAKEN FROM WELL
Rescuers Work from Thursday
Afternoon til Midnight Sat-
urday in Gazing Well

After most strenuous and perse-
vering efforts upon the part of VIM.
and Chester Hackney, the body of C.
j. Anderson, who was killed last
Thursday afternoon when well he
was digging cavcd in, was recovered
Saturday about midnight. For two
days and three nights different vol
unteers went down into the deep well
in an effort to dig out the body which
was inferred under. over five feet of
dirt and concrete at the bottom of a
46-foot well. However, the efforts
were unavailing, due to the fact that
the dirt would continue to cave in as
quickly as, it was removed. Satur-
day a scheme was devised for letting
down iron forms which held back the
dirt, so that the Hackney brothers,
who are experienced well diggers,
were able to get down and by consist
ent and untiring efforts they recover
ed the body of the unfortunate man.
The remains were taken to the under
taking parlors in Kennewick to await
the arrival of brother and sister who
are enroute from Chicago and upon
their arrival final funeral arrange
ments will be made. This fatal acct
dent has cast gloom over the entire
district where the deceased numbered
a host of good friends and neighbors.
Mrs. Joseph Koelsch, who has been
confined to her bed by illness for the
past week, is now on the road to re-
covery.
Agent A. S. Murray for the bort
car announces two sales during the
past week; one to E. w. Barnard,
who traded in the family "Lizzie' on
the deal, and one to Carl Cord of Han
ford. Mr.. Murray says that it is diff
fcult for him to get sufficient cars to
keep up with the demand and the lat

Not only did they buy and hold gov

This is the money which has built
up the railroads, municipalities homes

The government savings securities

for the production of this new capital
in the opinion of progressive bankers.
They are adapted for Investment OF
all sums no matter how great or small.
They are the safest security possible.
They are profitable and readily con-

SCARLET FEVER REMEDIES.

Other children in private families were
protected in the same way.
This method is open to the same OBJ
lection difficult to get the serum. The
question Is which is the curative agent.
the scales or the serum. II it is the
scales. in whole or in greatest part.
then it should be possible to get some
other solvent for them. In fact. a sim
pie salt solution should act equally as
we'll. II 1t Is a matter OF scales only,
the wards OF a scarlet FOYER hospital
car supply an abundance.
The research men engaged In search
ing for the cause of and a cure for
scarlet fever have had no success. In
spite of 90 years Of work by richly en-
dowed men no progress has been made.
The art stands now where it atoOd when
the germ theory was being promulgat-
ed. Perhaps this recent rsturn to the
methods OF the Eighteenth century may
promise something.
In that age the remedies used for
this n lmost all other diseases were
such things as skin. scales. fox's lungs.
and beef hearts. The use OF serum and
scales Of convalescents is not exactly
on the same basis. There is a little
scientific basis for them as they are
used. but it is based on rather broad
and somewhat loose reasoning. or
course. the method Of preparation for
use is far more Clearly and esthetic
than hat of the old days.

The erum method of preventing
SCARLET fever proved so effective in one
trial that it theoretically offers a solu-
ton Of the scarlet fever question.
The same method had proven &c
cessfui' with humps and other diseases.
1t consists in injecting some blood
serum from q c0nvalescent into the
tissues of a person who has been ex-
posed to the disease.
The shortcoming Of the method lies
In the difficulty In finding GONZALES
cents from scarlet fever willing to give
blood.
Caronia Of Naples makes use Of a
slightly different method. He gathers
the scales from a case Of scaling scar
let fever and soaks them in the serum
Of convalescents. The serum is sup
posed to dissolve the protecting sub
stance from the scales. The scales and
the latter Is injected under the skin.
In the Children's Hospital. at Naples.
children with different forms Of con-
tagion are all treated in the same ward.
A case OF scarlet fever was placed in
. ward where there We're % other chill
dren. none of whom had had scarlet
fever. Two had a mild disorder that
might have beer a typical scarlet fever.
The remainder escaped entirely. Three
doses Of vaccine. each consisting of is
minims. were given every day in some
cases and on alternate days in others.
