.Monster Bear Is Bagged.
HEPPNER, Or., Sept 1. The larg
est bear ever killed. In the' mountains
tributary to Heppner was brought to
town today by Charles Cox, who shot
and killed the animal at the head of
Butter Creek at Major Burrows place
about 25 miles southeast of here.
The bear is a species of the grizzly,'
commonly called CInamon, and weigh
ed over 1200 pounds. It is a genuine
"Old Ephraim," and Is supposed to
have wandered 'Bouth from his native
nonneru iittuuia, no uu uwt u&
type has ever been Been or heard of
in this country.
Mr. Cox is a young man and not an
experienced hunter so is naturally
proud of his prowess as a Nlmrod,
for this is the largest bear ever kill
ed in this section of Oregon.
In company with 'his brother Mr.
Cox was out hunting deer and stumb
led upon the bear which startled him
so that it took him some time to ex
actly figure out what he was up
against and it was after he had kill'
ed'the animal before he realized what
his prize was.

What Is WInel
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1. Several
wine producers are in Washington to
day and will remain through the week
to make plans for fighting the recent
decrees pf Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, who
answered the Question, "What Is
wine." in a manner unpleasing to the
vintners.
Dr. Wiley states that many Ameri
can wine manufacturers adulterate
their product by addding water and
sugar to the grape Juice, two or three
parts to one, and that the resultant
concoction is not wine, under the defi
nition of the. Bureau of Chemistry,
Dr. Wiley has also prohibited the
practice of putting foreign labels on
domestic wine, a practice which la
widespread among California wine
producers.

THE CURE FOSt
SCROFULA
The usual symptoms of Scrofula are enlarged glands of the nedc.
sores and ulcers on the body, skin affections, catarrhal troubles, weak
eyes, and general poor health. The inherited poison, transmitted throuji.'..
the blood, pollutes and weakens this fluid, and in place of its nutritive
qualitlP3 f.Wi the circulation with scrofulous matter, w hich sap3 the vitality
of the entiro system. Thousands of children, born with a scrofulous taint,
have spent their childhood In constant physical suffering, and grown to
manhood or womanhood handicapped by ill health and stunted growth,
and perhaps later some disease of the bones or Joints developed. S. S. S.,
plven ia their early life, would have prevented this. It would havo
cleansed and purified the blood of the taint, nourished and stengthened
their systems, and assisted each to grow Into strong, healthful manhood
or womanhood. S. S. S. is the very best remedy for Scrofula. It goes
down to tho bottom of the trouble, and cleanses the circulation of all
scrofulous matter. It supplies the weak, diseased blood with strength
and health-building qualities, and under the purifying effects of this great
remedy all symptoms of Scrofula pass away. S. S. S. contains no mineral;
in any form, and is an absolutely safe treatment for children, even Infants,
or persons of any age. Literature about Scrofula and any medical advice
free. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO.. ATLANTA, GA.
