To Attend Tournament.

The members of the local basket
ball team, together with Prof.
Kracht, left this morning for
Rhinelander where the team will
take active part in the three-day
basket ball tournament held Thurs
day. Friday and Saturday there.
The teams Eagle River will meet
in the tournament are Rhineland-
er. Crandon, Amigo, Medford,
Wausau. Tomahawk, Park Falls.
That the Eagle River team will be
up with the top-notchers there is
no doubt. The local team has lost
but two games the entire season,
and has met up with some stiff
teams at that.

ON COMFORT STATIONS
Resort Owners Association
Established One in Eagle
River Five Years Ago.

In speaking of comfort sta
tions" in a recent issue the Mil
waukee Journal speaks of the
needs of those places as vital TO
care for the travelling public in
every village in the state.
In 1917 the Resort Owners Asso-
citation established a comfort sta
tion" in their bureau of informa-
tion at Eagle River, and 1t, like
the old association, is still in exis-
lance and very active in caring
for the needs of the travelling
public.
However, the following from
the Journal, might be of interest

who travel from place TO place in

Wisconsin takes pride in the
number of tourists who come into
the state. Cities hang out "Wel-
come" and Come Again" signs.
They want travellers to note the
progress they are making. They
try 20 show tourists every cOur-

But one thing most of them
have overlooked. What about sta

choice the hotel or what is left of
the saloon. Often he is sorely
perplexed. especially if he is trav-
cling with a family.
Here is something that can do
more for the motorist than a

PUT OVER BOND ISSUE
Three Lakes Carries 1t by An
Overwhelming Majority at
Thursdays Election.

BY a vote of 200 for and 81
against, Three Lakes at a special
election last Thursday carried her
bonding issue away over what was
expected, and will now have pow
er furnished from the Eagle Riv-
er field beginning June first of
this year.
The vote was for the placing in
power of 100000 worth of inn
provement bond for a period of
five years, in order that a light
and power line could be run from
Eagle River to that village, fur
nishing the people with the nee
eSsary equipment for village and
residential lighting and power.
The town of Three Lakes had but
one small bond issue of $1,000
against its record and that with a
bonding capacity of over $4,000,
If she is so inclined TO use it.
Shortly after the polls closed
and the votes were tOtalled, the
bonds for $4,000 were sold to
Eagle River parties. The day fol-
lowing the town board members,
James Donnelly, sack Robinson
and Harry Olkowski, arrived in
Eagle River, signed contract with
the Eagle River Light & Water
Commission, delivered the bonds
and received their money. Quick
action.
According to contract the light
and water commission must have
the power line in operation TO the
village of Three Lakes not later
than June first of this year. The
Three Lakes line will leave the
Everett power line a mile out of
Eagle River and follow Highway
% to Three Lakes. Clearwater
Lake will receive service as will
the nearby resorts. Work starts
April first.

SERVICE MEN BANQUET
American Legion Post and
Business Men Confer on
Erecting Community Hall.

The local American Legion Post
held its second annual banquet at
the Commercial Hotel Monday eve
ming. About twenty-five members.
business men and honor guests
were present.
When the fine spread had been
abundantly taken of. Edward
Drauer introduced the subject of
a community hall which the boys
are expecting to build, perhaps
this summer. He called on Alex
Higgins. {. II. Wiegand, NJ. j. Ce-
press and others TO give their
views on the matter. All seemed
10 be in favor of such a move
ment and believed that sufficient
moral and financial backing would
be Forthcoming when the plans
are made public.
The News has always stood
suuarely on a memorial of some
kind for the service men. States,
counties, cities, villages, churches,
secret orders and other organiza-
tions have built memorials, used
money freely and given of their
time and talent that the men who
served their country should be
permanently remembered. If a
community hall is the form in
which our boys are looking for
the expression of remembrance
from their friends in Villas coun-
~. let us boost their project, help
in advice and direction, supply the
means and patronage TO put the
matter safely over the top. Let's

Rural Routes Wipe Out Over
$4,000 Village Possibilities

Washington-T he number of
postoffices in the United States
has decreased 100 since July LIST,
1922. The present number of
postoffices is 51,7S7. This is a de
crease of over $4,000 from the
highest number of postoffices in
the history of the U. S. postal
services. The peak was reached
in 1902 when there were 76,945.
The reduction since then has been
due to the establishment of rural
routes which has resulted in the
abolition of smaller postoffices.

hold upon the popular mind.
The people who entertain this
idea generally are afflicted now

sistently, with pains in their feet
or legs, in their joints, especially
of the toes and fingers or they
have neuralgias and sciaticas, and
such like ailments.
Now let us look at this uric acid
business.
OF course there Is such a thing
as uric acid.
1t is manufactured in the human
system in the process of wear and
tear Of the machinery and, con-
sequently, is a normal waste prod
uct. With other waste products,
it is carried out of the system
through the secretions Of, more
particularly, the kidneys and the
skin.
The amount Of uric acid in the
secretions is an index. one index.
Of the wear and tear of the tissues.
In a person Of good health there
is minimum of uric acid under
conditions Of repose or pleasure,
and a maximum under extreme
conditions of labor, stress, worry,
fright, anger or other exhausting
emotions.
The same laws of physical life
with respect to uric acid produc-
ton obtain not only in health but
in disease.
Any disease producing influence

the tissues and consequently over

Under certain conditions. how
ever, when the cause cannot be

acid is in excess Of the capacity of
the kidneys and skin to carry it
off. Then it accumulates in the
system and causes serious and
sometimes fatal complications.
But you will have noted, in no
instance Is the uric acid "dis-
ease" but merely one phase Of a
chain Of conditions, which together
comprise the disease.
II, therefore. attention be given
only to getting the excessive uric
acid out of the system, without
any attempt being made to stop
its excess manufacture, you are
dealing only with results and have
an endless Job on your hands.
1t may be stated as a general
fact that the most frequent prI.
mary causes of excess uric acid
formation is poison absorbed from
the intestines, or from the mouth
and throat.
1t is therefore OF the highest
importance, as the beginning OF
rational treatment, that these con.
ditions be investigated and brought
under control by competent rnedi,
cal advice.
If this is done promptly, the

CHAPTER III.


The idea of committing suicide
Philip never entertained seriously.
though he sometimes allowed him.
self to mediate upon easy and
dramatic ways by which it could
be accomplished. That Mary
would never hear of it at all, or
not until q long time after it had
happened, robbed the gloomy
speculation Of any satisfaction.
It would serve Lucy quite as she
deserved, however, and it was
some comfort to think Of her self
reproach in the event of his self
destruction.
He decided, one morning, to pay
q visit to Constance and his son.
The pitiful hope that prompted
him-a hope he was far from
acknowledging to shimself-was
that he might learn that Marjorie
was ailing, that she had been sick,
and might die. He had never dis
cussed his former wife with her
sister. Her name was rarely men.
toned between them, and he had
not heard anything concerning her
for q year or more.
The Key Route ferry system
had just been inaugurated, and
Philip decided to cross the bay
on one of the new boats As he
bought his ticket at the ticket
window. and scooped the loose
change into his palm, q familiar
voice at his elbow made him turn
about curiously. He recognized
Mrs. Grotenberg.
They were both pleased at the
encounter. Philip had not seen
her for five years. and he greeted
her warmly; he was glad to learn
she was taking the same boat as
himself. They had much to say
TO one another as they sat in the
sunshine on the upper deck.

wake Of the boat. and listened to
their strident cries like harsh
squeaks Of ungreased puIleys.
She was older. Of course. There
were crow's-feet at the eyes, and
a little loose pouch of skin be-
meath the chin, but Philip thought
her face was softer, some
how-and gentler. Her magnifi-
cent eyes in their dark shadows
suggested trouble and sickness.
With his own sorrow and loneli-
ness heavy upon him, he felt an
impulse to take her hand as it
lay beside him in its worn and
shabby glove, and squeeze it
alphabetically. AS he studied
her, it came to him that they two
might find much comfort in one
another. He noticed her cracked
shoes and the frayed handle of
the handbag she carried. The
merry widow" sailor she wore
was Of plain black straw, its
edges Clipped and broken. Life
always had used her roughly, he
remembered. He was full of
solicitous inquiries.
She lived with trained nurse
and her small daughter in
htte fiat on Larkin street. The
daughter went to the girls high
