I've been helping care for the
post office here since the tragic
death of Mrs. Hub Barker. Every-
thing about the pe-* office was
found to be in perfect order, and
the books balanced- Mrs. Barker
recently received an "Excellent'’
ratmg.
It seems almost certain that the
death of Mrs. Barker wa9 an ac-
cident. Hub had told her to try
and kill a coyote that had been
bothering the chickens. She and
Hub were great hunters. The ac-
cident was likely caused by the
rifle she was using having a

YOUR HEALTH
By Dr. J. B Warren
Gallstones are caused by slug-
gishness of the gall bladder; it
does not empty itself completely
or often enough. There are sub-
stances in the bile itself which, if
not kept moving at a normal rate,
form tiny little lumps which grad-
ually increase in size and hard-
ness until they form stones. Re-
search workers have shown that
if bile is kept moving by exercise
or work the bile will flow faster
to and from the gall bladder and
so prevent stones from forming.
