Phon1072 Action In Disbarment Brought Against Hi Gil! Seattle, Wash., Dec. 26. Disbarment complaints against Mayor Hiram C. Gill, and his law partners, Herbert B. Hoyt, H. 8. Frye and James C. Raley, were today filed by Attorney General W. V. Tanner and Assistant Attorney General Thomas M. Murphine. The state officials left the complaints at 3 o'clock this afternoon at the office of Sheriff John Stringer to be served upon each member of the law firm. The charges against the firm of Gill, Hoyt, Frye and Raley grow out of the practices of the Merchants Protective association, for whom it was the legal representatives.

DONT TAKE MEDICINE If You Want To Be Healthy and Happy If you are feeling bad or your health is poorly, don't begin taking medicine, but reason out with yourself and find the cause, then have the cause corrected. If after a storm the tele phone company discovers they have a broken wire or a short circuit, how do they repair it? Not by going to the phone in your house and putting on a coat of varn ish no; they repair the broken wire 'or correct the short circuit. Well, your spinal column is the wire and if your ver tebrae is not in proper shape each bone in its individual place, you have a short cir cuit and some organ of your body is not getting the nerve power needed and you are sick. If a man's backbone is right he is right. I only use Palmer School of Chiropractic methods. , DR. PAUL H. MAY, 306-307 Hubbard .Building, Salem, Oregon Chicago. "Hear ye!-Hear ye!"
