Thomas Hospital, Where Bab6 Was Born, 4-Year-Old Son Pulls Pot of Boiling Coffee From Not Given Proper Attention. While the mother lay in St. Thomas hospital, a charity patient, after having brought into the world another little soul, her little 4-year-old son pulled from the hot stove a pot of boiling coffee, and as a result died at this morning, after suffering the terrible agonies that burns alone can produce. The little home of Herman Hittenmark, 4X1 South Sixth street, surrounded by squalor on every is sadder than usual today. It has held nothing but grief for years, but grief in any form would be bearable could the little one come back.

Freddie Alfred, the babe who died, would have been 4 years old next April. The most severe burn was on the right arm, extending from the wrist to the elbow. There are five children in the family. Proper Treatment Not GivenM'" That the little patient did not receive proper medical treatment seems evident. All night Monday, from 9 o'clock until the end came, efforts were made to secure a.

physician to administer unto the dying child. Some doctors were busy with other calls others, knowing the case to be a county charge, referred the family to the county doctor. At Dr. Singleton's hospital today it was stated that all telephone calls last night were answered. Two doctors had seen case soon after the child was burned, and gave lotions to soothe the burps.

Liebig, to whom Hittenmark also applied, furnished a vial of carronoil, an oldfashioned remedy for burns. According ito Overseer of the Poor Pemberton, however, no application was ever made to the county for medical treatment in this case. He says he did not know that the child was even sick, until he heard of ita death. Inflamed Burns by Turpentine. Doubtless thru ignorance, and possibly because he did not realize how badly the child was used spirits of turpentine as a home remedy.

When he told Dr. Liebig what he had done, the doctor told him to quit its use immediately, and never use it again. This, according to medical practice, is one of the worst things that could have been used. Outsida of its antiseptic qualities turpentine would tend to inflame the burned surface, and would have the least tendency to soothe the iburniS. If there were a sufficient amount of turpentirite used, on a large enough area of burned surface, physicians say Jhat its use easily prove fatal.

One of the older girts in the house, As soon as the babe was burned, had the rare good presence of inind to bind the arm uip in soda. This is onp.of thebest remedies that could have been applied Family's Plight plight of the Hittenmark family Is pitiable. Poverty stricken, and a county charge are not enough to contend with, it seems. A few years the father while working for the, county was injured in his right foot. Blood poisoning developed, and a public, sub scription was taken to help him.

to an operation for the removal of the leg. Mrs. Hittenmark is suffering from a malignant trouble, necrosis of the spine, and for months and months was a patient in St. Thomas hospital where Dr. Burroughs performed an operation for her.

Only two weeks ago she gave birth to a new iboy at the hospital, and was cared for thru her confinement free of charge. Dr. Nichols attended her without a charge of any kind being made on his books, and the sisters at the hospital furnished everything for the woman without cost. County Assisting Family. While Hittenmark is leading the public to infer that he and his family have not been furnished sufficient as county charges, Overseer Pemberton says his books show otherwise.

Only last Saturday, Mr. Pemberton says, he furnished the family a ton of coal, a sack of flour, and groceries to the amount of about $3.65, ncluding in all eight or ten different items. This list was cut two or three items from what the family asked. Pemberton says the county has been helping the family all winter. Subscription to Bury Babe.

The county, under the competitive hid system of county burials, pays nothing for its county funerals. Because the county's allotment at Riverside is filled, the county now insists on all burials being made at the county farm. Hittenmark was very desirous of having his babe buried in Riversids, and accordingly started out with a subscription paper to defray the expense of purchasing a small lot. A few extras, such as are not furnished by the county, are to be donated by the ShaKe Your troubles by a change from coffee to POSTUM a 'Reason" I The road wljl be opened on the line! between sections 24 and 25.

Page 5, of This Issue, is Devoted to City News, Together With Interesting Happenings Concorning Other Towns of County. 0 i' Interesting Discussion Waged in Effort, to Collect More Money For Election Work SUPERVISORS CUT THE BILLS Because Telephone Company Paid $5 to Each Member of Board, for ties in Franchise Vote, Supervisors Deduct That Amount From County Officials Object. Are the county supervisors acting within their jurisdiction in cutting down the bills of election oificials at the recent general election the officials received $5 each from the Farmers' and Merchants' Telephone company, for their work in the franchlse vote? Such is the question that some of the election officials are asking, and did ask before 'the board of supervisors Monday afternoon.

Because the two boards do not appear to be able to get together on the proposition, a suit may be established to collect the amounts that the election officials' bills were cut. Members of the election boards in the city appeared before the board Monday. They registered a strenuous objection against the action of the supervisors, and claimed that it is no business of the supervisors whether or not they received $5 extra, or $10. The election oificials maintain that it is business of the supervisors to follow the statutes and pay the nfiri-W 'J5 r(-nta hour for the time actually put In on the work of the election boards. Board Divided in Opinion.

The members of board of supervlsors are somewhat divided on the opinion of just what is equitable and just in the case, but they do not differ in one opinion, and that is that the county should not pay twice for work performed. Mr. Keen is of the opinion that the county should cut the bills straight $5, and says he will stand pat on it. Mr. Bueghly and Mr.

Emes do not think that the should pay the election boards twice for the samA duty1 performed, but they are inclined to think that some apportionment should be made of ithe time actually put in In caring for the franchise vote, and then bill the county for the difference. Members of the election boards claim that, if the county ie going to make a practice of questioning or cutting the bills of election officials, it will soon be impossible to secure any competent persons who will be willing sit on election boards. 1 mm RECIPE FOR KIDNEY The following prescription for the cure of rheumatism and kidney end bladder troubles has no doubt been filled millions of times, Fluid Dandelion, one-half ounce Compound one ounce Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
