This preparation Is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle, and Is recommended and sold by special agent, Pendleton Drug Co. GRIEF MAKES HER BLIND.

Actress loses Fur Coat ami $3000 Ma chine While, at Chicago Show. Chicago. -Miss Maude Lillian Ber rl. actress, has joined her faith to the number 13. In her dressing-room she has long had a large "13" hang ing over her mirror. She was di vorced from Frank Moulan on the 13th of a month. Likewise on the 13th day of an other month she sold a California ranch at a very attractlvo figure and in various ways she became convinced that 13 was very much connected with her good fortune. So last January, when she bought nn automobile, paying $3000 in real money for It, she wrote to the secre tary of state, asking that license No. 13 be allotted to her. mat oinciai replied that 13 was Rone, but that she could have 113 and she was happy. The license tag was polished brightly and hung con- Bplculously on the automobile. But alas for human frailty! She started out in the automobile to wit ness a theatrical production. Arrtv Ing nt the theater, she left a $600 bro caded fur-trimmed wrap in the car. Then the chauffeur went to a mov ing picture show and he left not only tho wrap but the car as well. And in Bplte of the ominous num ber 113 on the machine an automo bile thief took a chance. ents to desert land cntrymen passed and become a law. It is only justice and right that these entrymen, who gave up valuabie water rights and abandoned private ditches on which they had expended large sums of money, in order to take water from the United States government, should now, after waiting six or seven years have patents issued for their lands. No one can show why they should not have patents inasmuch as the rec lamation attorneys. engineers and agents who induced these entrymen to sign contracts with the government, assured them that these lands should be treated as land in private owner ship and by giving the lien for wa ter, could make proof and get patent and when the act of June 27. 1906, wa before congress section 5 there of was intended to embody that Idea, the words "Upon compliance with the terms of payment in the reclamation act and not otherwise' wefe under stood to mean that signing the regu lar contract and giving a lien on the land to secure the payment of all charges for water was in fact all that was to be required of them, but the honorable secretary of the inter ior has construed this clause other wise, not taking into account the promises and representations of the government agents above mentioned. "We are willing to have the pat ents Issued for these desert claims contain a reservation of a lien to the government for all assesments due for building charge or operation and maintenance, and we would not ob ject to a provision that proof should be submitted showing that one-half of the irrigable area of the entry had been cultivated and Irrigated, but we do want these patents without any further requirements or further de lay. "We do hope that you can get this through at once, as it has been prov en that the land cannot be sold out in small holdings and Improved by planting an orchard without patents. Raising an orchard means the ex penditure of large sums of money and takes about five years' time and the people who have the money and the inclination to buy land and plant an orchard demand perfect title to the land, subject to the lien for wa ter. "The bill before congress, being House Bill No. 20490, contains a pro vision in section 10 thereof intended to help these entrymen, but this does not give the relief these entrymen are entitled to, but the provisions of sec tion 10 make the entry-men subject to still greater hardships and burdens and complications, and the bill as a whole should not pass, as it seeks to add 8 per cent Interest on overdue payments, enables the honorable sec retary of the Interior to require en tymen to pay more than the original contract calls for, and under its pro visions providing any one holding a reclamation homestead could not hold by purchase any other farm unit, or any one holding by deed would be disqualified to take a homestead, or holding any other land with water on the project, and would operate to keep these projects a desert for many-years.'' suitable buckeye sticks and a cedar p'ank, and after carefully drying and seasoning these has made a new fire drill which operates much better and faster than those he used before. He will add to his arrow-point chip ping a demonstration of fire making with this new Implement at this af ternoon's exhibition at the affiliated colleges museum. Ishi Is gradually yielding to the in Tuences of civilization but it is a slow process. He has suddenly appeared without the strings which have been dangling from his ears all his life. When a.sked concerning the disap pearance of the ornaments, he shook his head and said, "No more." He is a!so discarding the Innum erable medals and buttons with which visitors decorate him and a favorite red neck muffler has yielded to a se date gray four-in-hand tie. He would like to let his hair grow long, as the period of mourning for the last of his fellow tribespeople has expired, and the thinks it Is now time to forget them and make it plain to the world that they have passed into oblivion WOMEN JURORS MAKE TRIAL ONE BIG LAUGH Assault Case In Marysvillo As Good as a Farce, So SjK-ctators Think. Marysvllle. The Jury In the Ditzler assault case was completed by the ad dition of three men to the three wo men and six men already chosen Most of the men are young, but the women are older. Attorneys and Magistrate Hicks kept the crowded court room in al most continuous laughter. The Justice fined Attorney Brlttain $5 for contempt in asking Mrs. Phelps, who charges she was struck by Ditzler, If there was not some thing in their relations that she would not care to have made public. When the case was about to oe ad journed one of the Jurymen objected because he was an officer of the mu nicipal election and he would lose $6 by sitting on the jury'- The prosecu tion offered to pay half of that sum if the defense would pay the balance but Justice Hicks objected to any such arrangement, declaring that he would have "no boughten" justice in his court. A Warning to feel tired before ex ertion is not laziness it's a sign that the system lacks vitality, and needs the tonic effect of Hood's Sarsaparil la. Sufferers should not delay. Get rid of that tired feeling by beginning to take Hood's Sarsaparllla today. When some people air their knowl edge they hot air It.
