NORMA Reduced
High Blood Pressure
By Mrs. Hadley Rinhart

my husband suffered from high
blood pressure. For three years he
had terrible dizzy spells and spent
many sleepless nights. He was
advised to take NORMA. After
taking one bottle his dizziness had
completely left him and he gets
perfect rest, and I can truthfully
say that he feels one hundred per
cent better than before taking
NORMA"
High blood pressure is indicated
by dizziness, nervousness, sleepless-
ness and "that moody feeling of
dread sometimes by hot flashes
and lack of appetite.
off, one bottle of NORMA
(pur&y vegetable) should reduce
high blood pressure Peoples Drug
Stores and good druggists every
where sell Norma. Many have so
testified.

Hartford, Oct t9.-There was noth- ing new in the announcement that Lieutenant Governor J. Edwin Brainard will be a candidate before the Republican state convention next year for the nomination for another term. The announcement merely confirmed the general opinion and to which reference was made some weeks since in the Hartford correspondence of The Putnam Patriot. Mir. Brain ard has never concealed his desire for another term in the office. He IS now filling it by right of succession and not by the votes of the people. He has an ambition to fill the position for q term of bis own. He is merely filling the unexpired term of Governor TrumbulI now. the governor having relinquished the office to become chief executive when Senator Bingham re- signed after one days service. MT. Brainard was marked success in presiding over the senate at the ses- sion of 1925 He was very fair and no senator could complain that he was ever prevented from expressing his opinions and in his own way, even though 1t might have tendency to prelixity and wasted the time of the senate. The Democrats of the senate appreciated the courteous treatment which they received from Lieutenant Governor Brainard and they have not been reluctant to acknowledge it.

SUNDAY MORNING
BREAK IN FERRY

The pool hall of Leeright Brothers
was entered Sunday morning at
about $50 and $40 In cash taken
from the till. Dan Rollins, one OF
the night special agents on duty for
the Oregon Short Line, was standing
half block away and saw man
enter the front door of the pool hall
Rollins approached the place to see
what was going on. On investigation
he found the rear door which opens
on a side street standing open, but
nobody in the building Tracks in
the fresh snow were found leading
from the rear door and these indi-
Gated the man who had entered the
front door had beat a retreat while
Rollins was at the front door.
1t is thought the thief saw the
special agent approaching and made
his getaway from the side entrance
as this can be easily unlocked from
the inside. That this is true is in
dictated from the fact that the mon
ey was the only thing molested while
one punch board contained gold coin
and other effects to the value of $50 |
and another board contained several |
diamonds. These were in plain view
and near the cash register. A new
suit of clothes hanging near was
left by the thief. Frank Leeright,
who is on the afternoon and night
shift, says he closed shortly after
midnight, went to cafe and had a
lunch and remained for some time
chatting, He returned to the hall at
4;S0, checked up the till, leaving
about SO in niekels, the same amount
in dimes and about "a in quarters in
the TILL He then went home. The
change in the till was all there APP
peared to be missing. The front
door of the building is locked by a
paddock from the outside. This was
either unlocked or pried off, as it
could not be found. -Glenns Ferry

ter his victim had fallen Taylor fire :
into his PROSTATE body. When Tay-
lor was placed on trial for murder
1t was indicated that the grievance
he held against the victim was not
grounded in any wrongful act on the
part of the former. The attorneys
for Taylor advanced a plea of insan-
ity, showed that he had been queer"
since childhood, and the jury ac-
quilted the killer.
Chapter II
After the acquittal Judge Varian
very properly ordered that an insan-
ity charge be filed against Taylor.
This was done and on Tuesday an
other jury rendered a verdict to the
effect that he is sane. During the
last trial Taylor testified that he was
a victim of conspiracy and his at
torney insisted that ii there were any
ground for the conspiracy claim he
should not be declared insane. In
Dftel, the eNlueHt pldH Ol ING utlSHSo
was to show in the first trial that
there was no motive or cause for the
killing and that, therefore, Taylor
was insane After he had been freed
of responsibility the next step was
to convince another jury that there
was a motive for the killing and that
Taylor was really not insane at all.
In any event, Taylor is free man.
Surely our statutes can be so rem
edied as to protect society against
such fragrant miscarriages of justice.
Note-Since the above was writ
ten Taylor has been rearrested on
an insanity charge. This fact, how
ever, has no direct bearing upon the
elements of the case above eonsid-
cred. If committed to the state asy-
um the officials of that institution
will Judge his condition scientifically
md, if found sane, he will be liber-
