make analyses for arssnical residue
content for fruit for export and do
mestic consumption. is the only one
in Benton county. The thoroughly
modern equipment will enable Mr.
Hamilton to return the complete re-
suit of an analysis within an hour and

The test for arsenical residue re-
quires the most careful and minute at
tention of trained analyst. Mr.. Ham

In addition to commercial work. the
Lower Valley Laboratory will handle
exclusively the state analytical work
for Berton county. BY special ar
rangements with the Yakima Valley
Transportation company, samples will
be delivered directly to the laboratory,
thus insuring the quickest possible
service to patrons up and down the

DECLINING
SLOWLY

Cerebral hemorrhages have. set in
in the case of Miss Dorothea Creager,
District school teacher and George

who was stricken with sleeping sick
ness from overwork last Monday.
Although the victim was reported
holding her own today, little hope
is held out for her recovery. Her
left side is paralyzed. A recent
blood TRANSMISSION, from the veins of
a girl athlete of the university, failed
to show specific results, and pllysi.
clans are dubious about the efficacy
of further treatment along that line.
Miss Creager recently suffered an
attack of measles, which, physicians
say, so weakened her that she was
easy prey to any kind Of disease.
Sleeping sickness, or encephalitis,
set in and she was taken to Elmer
gency Hospital, Wednesday, when
her condition became serious.
She is the daughter of Mrs. Effie
