FMDAY. AUGUST 2. 1113 ?8 A Sheriff With Limited Experience Nabs Bear Pauline, Neb.-fllTO-Bob Anderson, the sheriff of Adams county, has captured his share of criminals, but confesses to limited experience with bears. - After his meeting with Martha, he's not sure he cares for bears. It's not that Martha was disagreeable. Uncooperative, may be, but for a 400-pound black bear, she was rather friendly. . That doesn't mean the sheriff had an easy Job when he set out to catch her and get her back home. ' Bob and his deputy, Jake Thiel, were alerted that Martha bad wandered away from the Grover Stapleman place near here. Stapleman has a string of donkeys he hauls around to stage donkey baseball games for fairs and festivals. He also kept Martha. While Stapleman was out drumming up business, Martha decided to wander. Anderson, Thiel and three other bear "hunters" followed tips and tracked down Martha. They spent about two hours in the chase, during which Martha got tangled in some barbed wire and foundered for a while in a V-shaped tree trunk. Anderson, who's pretty fair with a lasso, finally used some borrowed rope to capture her. , He and Martha were about two miles from Stapleman's place. So they began trudging down a hot, dusty road. Every now and then, perhaps because of the heat, Martha decided to sit and rest in the middle of the road. A friendly farmer in a pickup truck finally gave them a lift the last quarter-mile. - Said the sheriff: "I've worked with horses and cattle, but never before with a bear named Martha."

One of the final items on the agenda was "Selected Short Subjects." doctor for months, has been giving them shots of B12, often for some nervous dis tress, or some pain, I always wonder if the medicine has any value in these cases, or if its value has ever been demon strated clearly. Recently a doctor wrote to the American Medical Asso ciation asking this question, and Dr. Desmond S. Doherty of W a s h i n g t o n, D. C, an swered that he doubted if there ever has been any evi dence presented to prove that B12 is of value outside ot tne treatment of a primary (the hereditary or pernicious) type of anemia. The dose needed for anemia is extremely small. Recently a great expert on diseases of the blood emphasized the fact that only a few thousands of a thousandth of a gram are needed, and this dosage is really needed perhaps once a month! The "vitamin B complex" Is also employed extensively by us physicians in an effort to help people with pains and paralyses: but, again, I Know I of no good proof that, used in this way, the drug has any value. A patient can get bet ter while being treated, but this does not prove that the medicine helped. Boric Acid For Babies Drs. Marie A. Valdes-Da-pena and James B. Arey tell of a mother who put boric acid on her baby's diaper. The next day he died. There are 172 such known cases of boric acid poisoning, and in 83, death resulted. Danger arises, if only be cause (as when I was a med ical student) doctors for years thought that boric acid was a good and mild and harmless killer of germs. Then some years ago, I began to hear of these fatal cases, and it began to be apparent that the pow der could be very dangerous. u Cp if CD WILLIAM'S caosT TOWN SATUISIDAY, AUGUST 3rd 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. FUN FOR ALL Interesting 0 Different WW WUL HI J, ( ) WWW ADMISSION BRING THE HOLY Enjoy the day at William's Ghosl Town . . .
