8ALBM. Or., April 14. (Special.)
Twenty-two attendants at the state
hospital who yesterday eerved an ul
limatum upon Dr. Lee Steiner, super
intendent.. that they would quit their
Jobs unless "Happy" Gordon, a. pa
roled convict, was drischargred
from the employ of the Institution,
failed to report for work this morn-
Ins. Included among; tnese mem, ac
cording to Dr. Steiner, were seven
attendants who yesterday were dis
missed from further eervlce at the
hospital.
It also n reported by Dr. Steiner
that 6everal of the attendants who
left the hospital under fire urged
that they be retained on the pay
roll, while a number of others re
quested that their names be with
drawn from the petition asking' for
Gordon's discharge. None of the at
tendants discharged will be rein
stated, according' to Dr. Steiner, as
their places are being filled with men
fully capable to handle the positions.
Strtner Not Disturbed. -
"While the exodus has left us short
banded," said Dr. Steiner today, "we
will continue to function and within
& few days the Institution will be in
better shape than ever before. In
most instances the men who agi
tated the threatened strike are float
ers and pass most of their time trav
eling from one institution to another
in quest of employment."
It was stated before the state board
of control at its meeting yesterday
that 70 men were involved in the I
threatened walkout, but this asser
tion was found to be false by the
superintendent. The employes now
working at the hospital appear to be
well satisfied with their positions,
according to Dr. Steiner, and he does
not believe the force of the institu
tion will be further depleted.
Fatleata Will Not Saffer.
The superintendent was emphatic
!n his statement today that relatives
of patients in the hospital should not
be alarmed over the action of the
disgruntled attendants, as plenty ot
belp is available to Insure the inl
mates of every possible attention.

STARVED MUSCLES
CAUSE LUMBAGO
Fains, in the back are very often
flue to undernourished muscles. The
muscles that are used most are gen
erally tnose that are Iirst to cry out
in pain. Lumbago and rhenmatism
are two very common diseases that
attack muscles that are not getting
needed food because the blood is im
poverished.
Treatment that increases the auan
tity and improves the quality of the
blood win otten relieve this suffer
lng.
The result of the use of the right
tonic in a case of lumbago is illus
trated by the experience of Mr. James
Knoyle. of No. 432 Garden avenue.
Butte, Montana.
As a result of exposure to severe
weather while in a run-down condi
tion. I developed lumbago in the small
of my back," says Mr. Knoyle. "The
pain gradually extended to my hips
and became very severe. When I
attempted to stoop over to pick any
thing up the pain was so great I
could hardly straighten up again. 1
