BLOOD FILLED AHffl'DBIC. ACID
Rheumatism comes from an excess of uric acid in the Th.8 acid
circulating through the system acts as an irntaut to the d
iterves, bones and tisanes of the body, and produces the ? "d
wellies of the joints and the sharp, cutting pains f.
ease. When the blood ia overburdened with ttnc acid t continually grows
weaker and more acrid, and poorer in nourishing- qualities, inen Kneuma-
Bonqucta for Observer.
DArlng the past few days this office
has received 'numerous compliments
on the manner In which the election
was the only paper In eastern Oregon
which attempted a tabulated state
ment the day after election, and while
Incomplete because of the non-arrival
of the returns from two precincts, the
table was completed the following
day to the entire satisfaction of all
who were anxious to know the result.
The entire county vote was handled by
precincts, Including the votes for state
officers. While It Is said that self
praise Is no praise. The Observer feels
In a mood to speak of Its own work
so splendidly done, and which was
called to mind by the many encoml.
urns heaped on It the past few days.
Let us repeat: It was the only naoer
in eastern Oregon which gave Its read
ers the full tabulated statement of the
results of the election.
Why Not? ,
La Grande may not be able to give
a rose show or a strawberry day, but
whats the matter with a rousing big
cherry day f
Nowhere are such delicious cherries
grown as In the Grande Ronde valley
and this year the prospects for an ex
traordinary crop are good.
I About a month from now our cher
ries will be ripe, the weather will be
settled, and the valley at Its best.
Why not boost our products as other
own do? The Lord helps them that
help themselves. . Don't be quitters.

little for the good of your town. What
