Of Late Superior Court
Judge.
TO BE BURIED HERE
Services at Presbyterian
Church to Be Held To-
morrow at 2::3O.

The flag at the court house is at
half mast today and city and county
are plunged in sorrow. Judge La
rev is dead
Thrown from his automobile when
it was reduced to debris early Sat-
urday morning by a passenger train,
the judge fought an unconscious
battle for life throughout the day
while physicians worked over him,
straining every effort to hold the
slender thread of life that remained.
/ Then while thousands awaited word
of his condition a blood TRANSMISSION
was made as crisis neared, but it
proved futile. The Judge died at
! 1880 0 clock in the evening, a basal
fracture of the skull ending his life.
The body has been removed to
the funeral parlors of B. E. Lemons
where it will be held until tomorrow
afternoon. At the request of Mrs.
Elizabeth D. Larew, widow of the
deceased, no one will be allowed to
view the remains while the body
lies in the funeral chapel. The re-
mains will be taken to the First
Presbyterian church in the after
noon where the funeral service will
be conducted at 2:30 O'Clock, with
Rev. William C. Cheverton of the
! Christian church assisting the pas
/ tor and Rev. George Hartman will
officiate.
Upon conclusion of the church
service FL Centre lodge, F. and A.
| NJ, will take charge, escorting the
! body to the grave in the Evergreen
cemetery where the Masonic ritual
will be read. The Masonic service
will be under the supervision of

he was 81 years of age. He located
in Mariposa county where in 1896
he took up the practice of law. In
1898 he was admitted to the prac-
| tice of law in the United States
Supreme court. While in Mariposa
county the judge also became asso-
ciated with educational bodies and
served several years on the county
board of school supervisors.
| Judge Larew came to Imperial
| Valley in 1909 and while he held
some ranching interests here, his at
tention was mostly centered ON q
continuation of his law practice. He
! served IA years as city counsel in
! FL Centre. In 1926 he was elected
to the position which he held to
the time of his death, judge in the
superior court.
His service as judge of the super
ior court here for the last Is months
/ has been a most creditable one. His
decisions were at all times based on
the soundest of reasoning and at
torneys who have appeared in his
court have highly commended the
fair and impartial dispatch of JUS
tice at his hands.
Inquest Held
Inquest into the death of Judge
! Larew was held in the offices of

The jury returned verdict of
death due to injuries suffered when

Quart of Water
Cleans Kidneys
Take q Little Salts II Your Back
Hurts, or Bladder is
Troubling You

No man or woman can make a mis-
take by flushing the kidneys occasion
ally, says a well-known authority.
Eating too much rich food creates
acids, which excite the kidneys. They
become overworked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the waste
and poisons from the blood. Then we
get sick. Rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
often come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys, or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of scalding, be-
gin drinking quart of water each
day, also get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take n
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast and in a few days your
kidneys may act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to flush and stimulate the
kidneys; also to help neutralize the
acids in the system, so they no longer
cause irritation. thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes a
delightful effervescent Whitewater
drink which everyone should take
now and then to help keep the kid
neys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby often avoiding serious
kidney complications.
