Parties by the name of Owen and Cloud yesterday pleaded guilty in police court to the charge of taking liquor to the public park Sunday afternoon and drinking it there. They were fined $25 each, which was paid, and Owen was fined an additional $5 for starting a fight. That the men and others involved with them secured whiskey some where from bootleggers was appar ent, but the stories were so conflicting that City Attorney McCollocih; did not feel justified in filing charges at this time. Information gained from the men may result in further investiga tion from which tangible information may develop. Lieut. Bryan, U. S. N. stated before the Am. Soc. of Naval Engineers: "Oils made from the asphalt-base crudes have shown themselves to be much better adapted to motor cylinders, as far as their carbon-forming proclivi ties are concerned, than are parat-fine-base Pennsylvania oils. Zerolene is scientifically refined from selected California crude asphalt-base. Highest competitive awards, San Francisco and San Diego Expositions.

BLYDENSTEIN Pendleton, Oregon Women Headquarters For Hughes Motor Cars No man or woman who eats meat regu larly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms urie acid which excites the kidneys, they become over worked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headacheB, liver trouble. nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness ana urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if tlio urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi ment, irrecrulnr of pasnage or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of-Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the aeid of Trapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been uxed for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. .Tad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent litliia-watcr drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

Baker Plans Highway Signs. Baker, Aug. 1. Judgo Mcssick stated yesterday that at the August term of county court, which convenes tomorrow, the matter of establishing sign posts on all county roads will be taken up. "We have been considering the purchase of metal signs for the county roads, to show distances and also to serve as a guide in directing tourists and those unfamiliar with the roads and where they lead. The main reason why we have not secured metal signs sooner is because none or the samples submitted have met with the approval of the court. Under an old state law, road supervisors are re quired to establish sign posts in their districts, and some have compiled, BlydensteinV Self Rising Pastry Flour For Biscuits, Cakes and Hot-Cakes , Try a ten-pound sack and be convinced it is the Best You Ever Tried Ranch Bacon, 22 Cts. per Lb.
