THE VARYING LENGTH OF THE COAT
Coats this season seem to be of all
lengths, more or less, according to the
fancy of the wearer. The Ktons are
quite popular, many of them being seen
in fur. The three-quarter coat has its
usual following and the short coat
with straight or cutaway outline is
also much worn. Vests are quite the
most effective feature of many of the
new coats. They are usually fashion
ed of a brocade or tapestry cleverly
repeating the shade of the suit, in its
soft Persian colorings. The graceful
ly draped peg-top is the mosr popular
skirt model of the moment.
Old blue duvetyn Is charmingly com
bined in this model, with a vest of bro

THE HILL MURDER
Last evening at the Bell theatre,
Mme. Pearl Tangley gave her im
pressions of the Hill murder case. It
was a lengthy statement, in which
she stated that the murderer was now
in Melbourn Australia, and that his
guilty conscience would make him
slightly demented at which time he
would leave drop evidence that would
end in his conviction. She said the
sheriff was on the right track, and
deserved praise and that he would be
successful in running this man to jus
tice before 11 months.
She described the man as one
about 50 year's of age, dark piercing
eyes, weight about 150, height five
feet 7 inches. The cjiildren were mur
dered in order to keep them from
furnishing evidence, as they came up
on the murderer just after he accom
plished his deed. Names will be giv
en to the proper officials as Mme.
Tangley did not dare give them in

Professor Soddy makes the assertion
boldly that it is only a question of ap

says that while now we can only work
with electricity at 100,000 volts it is
only a matter of perfecting the method
to be able to work at ten times that
voltage when the baser metals can be
changed into the more precious. In
other words, electricity, when brought
to its highest efficiency and application,
is the real philosopher's stone for
which the alchemists of the middle
ages searched so long. New York

Brink lots of water and stop eating
meat for a while if your Bladder,
troubles you.
When you wake up with backache and
dull misery m the kidney reeion it gen
erally means you have been eating too
Diucn meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
irom 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; re
moving all the bodys urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when Ahe weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi
cian at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a. tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will 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 bo it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer
vescent litnia-water drink.

TO FORGIVE HIM
(Continued from Page 1).
letter from her son in Australia in
which he explained his disappearance
and his journeys for the past 20
months. The news was a complete sur
prise to his relatives.
Goes to Australia.
The letter told of his sudden depart
ure from this city and his arrival in
San Francisco on April 3. From that
city he sailed at once for Australia,
arriving there sometime during the
month. According to the letter, he
was destitute at the time of his land
ing on that continent and secured
work. Soon after his arrival, how
ever, he was taken down with pneu
monia and confined to a hospital for
a number of months. It is thought
probable that it has been only recent
ly that he was able to resume work of
any kind.
The letter is vague in many re
spects. It does not tell how he left
Oregon City or how long he was in
San Francisco. Of his experiences in
the southern continent or of his trip
across the Pacific, there is almost
nothing said. ...
The reason for leaving his home is
given in his letter as nervous break
down. He claims that his departure
from this city is as strange to him as
it must have been to his friends.
Asks Forgiveness.
In the letter he asked his mother
for forgiveness, explaining the condi
tion in which he left Oregon City and
expressing his sorrow for the trouble
he must have caused. Mrs. Williams
is ready to receive him and is expect
ing his return some time in the near
future.
Upon receiving the letter, an an
swer was sent to Australia in which
Williams was told of the death of his
baby boy. A brief reply to this let
ter has been received by Mrs. Wil
liams and her son tells of his inten
tion of returning to this country as
soon as possible.
Mr. Williams was one of the best
known and most popular young men in
Clackamas county. His father, Eli
Williams, was a pioneer and lived in
Estacada for many years. He later
moved to Oregon City where he was
county assessor for two terms.
Educated Here.
The son was educated in Oregon
City schools and several years ago he
secured a place as deputy in the re
corder's office. In 1910 he wa elect
ed county recorder.
The day before his disappearance,
he filed his petition as candidate for
the republican nomination for re-election
and confided to a friend that he
expected to hold the office for an
other term.
Mr. Williams was an Elk, a Mason,
a Knight of Pythias, and a member
of several other organizations. He
was a member of the commercial club
and always took a deep interest in the
welfare of the city.
During her husband's absence, Mrs.
Williams, has been employed in the
recorder's office as deputy.

A WIZARD IN MEMORY.
Scott Could Retain In His Mind Any
thing He Heard Once.
To. his rare good fellowship and his
powers of endurance Scott added one
other quality, without which his vigor
ous search for literary material might
have been of little use namely, a most
extraordinary memory, which enabled
him to retain what he heard and use it
many years afterward. James Hogg,
the eccentric Ettrick Shepherd, gives a
fine instance of this power. One night
Scott, with bis friends Hogg and
Skene, was out on a fishing expedition.
"While we three sat down on the
briuk of a river," says Hogg, "Scott
desired me to sing them my ballad of
'Gil man's dough.' Now be- it remem
bered that this ballad had never been
printed. I had merely composed it by
rote and on finishing it three years be
fore had sung It over once to Sir Wal
ter. I began It at his request, but at
the eighth or ninth stanza I stuck In it
and could not get on with another
verse, on which be began it again and
recited it every word from beginning
to end.
"It being a very long ballad, consist
ing of eighty-eight stanzas. I testified
my astonishment, knowing that he had
never beard it but once and even then
did not appear to be paying particular
attention. He said he had been out
with a pleasure party as far as the
opening of the Firth of Forth and to
amuse the company be had recited
that ballad and one-bf Southey's ('The
Abbot of Aberbrothok"). both of which
ballads be had heard only once from
their respective authors, and he be
lieved he recited them both without
misplacing a word." From Charles S.
Olcott's "The Country of Sir Walter
Scott." '
Beethoven's Retort.
The retort of Beethoven to his stupid
brother was in an interchange of cards.
The brother had left his card at the
musician's lodgings, and in his purse
pride it read. "Johann van Beethoven,
land proprietor." The musician re
turned the call, by card. "Ludwig van
Beethoven, brain proprietor." It is not
often the case1 that genius is fortunate
in its brothers.

The above letter should convince yon more

Wonderful Stomach Remedy. Sufferers
should try one dose of this Remedy one dose
should convince them that they can be restored
to health. Nearly all Stomach Ailments are
caused by the clogging of the intestinal tract
with mucoid and catarrhal accretions allowing
poisonous fluids into the Stomach and otherwise
deranging the digestive system. Mayr's Wonder
ful Stomach Remedy painlessly removes these
accretions without a surgical operation and puts
an end to CoUc Attacks, Gases in the Stomach
and Intestines and all of the usual symptoms
of Stomach, Liver and Intestinal Ailments. Ask
