THE llORSr. AXh THE HEAT.
A little thnughtf nines on thf part
of those who have control of dumb
animals will save a great deal of un
necessary suffering during these' hot
days. Thousands of people who would
Hot think of committing an act of overt
cruelly are nevertheless oppressors of
the brute creation through sheer fail
ure to remember that the animals are
absolutely at the mercy of human be
ings and that they cannot plead for
themselves, but must endure In silence
Whatever Is put upon them.
In the nature of things the noble
horse comes first. While few flagrant
instances these hot days numerous
cases of almost heartless Indifference
of bruto suffering are to be witnessed.
There Is apparently little lightening of
loads to offset the higher tempera
tures. e

A great circus like the one we have

la educational In addition to Its amuse
ment features. It also brings great
numbers of people together. The
streets of La Grande have been
thronged all day. Many coming 25
or more miles. Many meet friends

One thousand retail drufftfli

fund every penny paid us for the
medicine if it does not benefit.
AH we ask is the customer's
word and the empty bottle and
we hand the money back. No
signed certificate. We believe the
