INJURED
i
Winter kill, an unusual malady in
pine trees, has infested the splendid
timber In Township 3 South 31, in the
ohn Day country, and about 15 claims
held by La Grande people are worth
less today than before they were drm
aged. Timber cruisers report to D.
C. Brlchoux the local cruiser, that cq
many claims every pine tree ib win
ter', killed. ' The general averpgd . of
pine is 60 per. cent, in that seHlon.
Fir escaped injury.
; Several from La Grande claims
there that run to 3000,000 feet and
the damage done in this way Is q't'te
severe from a financial standpoint. U
Is presumed that early warm woatner
brought the sap up prematurely. It
Is the mo3t plausible solution attain
able here as winter kill among pine
is an unusual occurrance and little
known of.

TOKIC
Th very great majority of persons need a tonic In the Spring or early
Summer. The system undergoes a change at this season and the entire
physical machinery is disturbed. The general bodily weakness, a tired.
worn-out feeling, ncuie appetite, poor digestion, a bait s'.ci teeung ana a
general run-down condition of the system, show that the blood Is weak or
anaemic, and a blood purifying tonic is needed to build up the derangal
system and enrich the blood. The use of S. S. S. at this time may save
you from a long spell of sickness, and it will certainly prepare you for the
long, hot Summer. Many people have put of! using a tonio until the system
became so weakened and depleted it could not successfully throw off disease
germs, and have paid for the neglect with a spoil of fever, malaria or some
other debilitating sickness. S. S. S. is Nature's, ideal tonic. It is a
composition of the extracts and Juices of roots, h'erbs and barks which
science and experience have proven are best 'fitted for a tonio to the human
system. It contains no minerals of any kind and is therefore perfectly safe
for persons of any age. S. 8. S. tones up the stomach and digestion, rids
the system of that tired,' worn-out feeling, and imparts vigor and strength
to every part of the body. It Taurines and enriches the blood, stimulates
the secreting and excreting members to better action, quiets the over
3trained nerves, and makes one feel better in everv vav,
