AN AWFUL POSSIBILITY

A man died last November in the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane at Middletown, leaving an alleged will. When the document was offered for probate recently fifteen witnesses were offered to support the claim that the deceased was of sound mind when he made the will. One of the phNsi- clans who, it is reported, signed the afIidayits upon which the deceased was committed to the hospital is said to have stated the deceased was not insane at the time of his commitment, ip his opinion; that he was moved by humanitarian motives alone to send him to Middletown in order that the deceased might receive proper hos- pital treatment for his physical condi- tion. no hospital in his own city being willing to keep him.
 This bit of news is similar 10 tales heard from what should be good au- thOrlty that Sollle ol tllo P"'s@ N the Middietown hospital are not in sane when they arrive at the lnstltu- ton. The physician in the case here cited may have been actuated by hon- est if mistaken, motives. There is no intention to suggest otherwise. me matter is referred to merely for the purpose of considering the awful pos sibilities which would arise If there are. in fact, persons in confinement at the institution who are now and have been for some time, ever since thelf arrival, perhaps, in good mental com dition.
 It is difficult to consider thls matter without recalling the weird tales Of ln- i1stice which have no basis other thah r,ra fction-the stories of men and women confined in asylums for the ln- sane when their minds were absolute rv unaffected. Once there, it may be seen readily how hard it would be tor q sane person to prove his sanity, such claim being one of the most common among the truly insane,
 The Middletown institution is under the strictest rules of inspection With out a doubt Every precaution is taken by the state undoubtedly to see that all goes well in that place for the af- ficted.
 But those who have heard at first hand, from nurses or orderlies, of the treatment given patients, sometimes necessarily harsh treatment probably, but sometimes unnecessarily cruel, cannot but feel that more than ord- mary precaution should be taken that extraordinary care should be used to see to it that not only are the natients treated with as much cansid- eration as it is possible to give them and vet retain order, but also that no person is admitted to an institution for the insane whose mind is not at- feeted. The results which would come if the strictest watch were not kept oyer these matters are too terrible to contemplate.

TEXAN TO CLIMB TOWER

PARIS, March 21.-(Unless William

in pulling various political and other
strings he is likely to find his attempt
of scaling the Eiffel Tower about l.
900 feet high, on its outside frame
work nipped in the bud,
Strother, who came to Paris recent
ly from New York, with record of
hair-raising stunts, believes he can get
the necessary permits to scale the Elf
fel Tower. providing he undertakes to
do it in aid Of French war fund.
The authorities, however, will prob
ably forbid such stunt considering 1t
to be far too dangerous. Since we'll
known parachutst was killed some
years ago the tower guardians have re-
fused to allow any stunts to be per-
formed.

WON'T Be
IN NEW BALL LEAGUE;
WEST END ORGANIZED
Pinson Finds That New Team
Must be Secured; Athena to
be Sought as Oregon Club.

The first halt in the proposed six
club baseball league, which Pendle-
ton players and fans are anxious to
have, developed this morning when
Manager Lou Pinson of the Bucka-
roos got in touch with Hermiston fans
and found that the old irrigation gang
has been busy in the west end of the
county for several days.
In the three-Oregon, three Wash
ington club plan, for which Pendleton
is boosting, Hermiston was to have
berth with Milton -Freewater and the
Buckaroos to represent oregon, ac-
cording to plans made at Sundays
meeting. When Manager Pinson took
the proposal up with Hermiston, he
was informed that the baseball fans
in the west end started work several
days since. A league for the 1929
season has already been organized.
Umatilla, Hermiston, Stanfield and
Echo are the four clubs which COM
pose the club. Their constitution has
already been framed, and they are
all prepared to go.
Pinson and a number of other To-
cal fans went to Athena today where
they will make an effort to interest
the Athena fans in q proposition to
come into the tentative organization.
If Athena is interested, the chances
Of the league being formed will be
vastly increased. Local sport follow
ers are demanding that at least three
of the six clubs be in Oregon. If
Athena should refuse, Helix might
consider entering. The town to the
north has a lot of first-rate ball play
ers, and the town will support team
better than lots of larger places.

IF KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache UIIen Means You
Have Been Eating Too
Much Meat.

When you wake up with back
ache and dull misery in the kidney
region it may mean you have been
eating too much meat, says a we'll
known authority. An excess of meat
may form uric acid, which over
works the kidneys in their effort to
filter it from the blood and they
become sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels, removing all
the bodys urinous waste, else you
have backache, sick headache, dizzy
spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine is cloudy, full of sedi-
ment, channels often get sore, water
scalds and you are obliged to seek
relief two or three times during the
night.
Either consult good reliable ply.
stefan at once or get from your phar.
macist about four ounces Of Jad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys may then
act fine This famous salts is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia and has
been used for generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys. also
to neutralize acids in the urine so
that it no longer irritates, thus often
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent lithia water drink. Drink
lots of soft water.
