DIAMOND BRIQUET Diamond Briquets are madefrom the purest, richest portions of coal veins that have made the Pacific Coast Coal Company famous. The coal is ground fine, dried thoroughly and then mixed with the purest of asphalt asphalt with all the light, smelly oils burned off. This rich, soft mass then goes through massive presses that give it the tremendous pressure of almost 5000 pounds to the square inch. It emerges in briquets of cylindrical shape with rounded ends, each weighing 10 1-2 ounces, and each stamped with a diamond. Diamond Briquets have a heating value of 13,432 British Ther mal Units to the pound and extended tests prove them conclusively to be fully 10 per cent better than the best house coal now on the mar ket, with only eight and a fraction per cent ash. What the United States Bureau of Mines Says About Briquets 1. The even size of Briquets permits a more regular and thor ough combustion in the firebox or furnace. 2. Briquets produce much less smoke and in many case3 prac tically no smoke. 3. They retain their shape in the fire and do not coke suffici ently to cut off the needed supply of air. 4. They bum to a fine ash without clinkeving. Clinkers can be formed if all the absolute ash is not removed from the grates regu larly. 5. A Briquet fire requires much less care than one of raw fuel. Suggestions for Getting Best Results from DIAMOND BRIQUETS Clean out firebox thoroughly when you commence using Briquets. Use more kindling than used for lump coal. This will also aid in keeping chimney clean. Give the fire full draft until well started. This burns tho, smoke and while making more hent also prevents soot. Check the draft after fire is well started; very little draft is needed then, and fuel consumption will be reduced. When adding more Briquets increase the chimney draft while stove or furnace is open. This will prevent smoke from escaping into the room. A gentle shaking will clean the grates. If you have a strong draft carry some BriqueN ahe? on the grates to help regulate the fire. Briquet ashes are light and pon3 and the draft can work through. For banking or to hold over nighty ct off all iroSls completely after applying the Briquets. If you wish to bank fires every night, you will get the nest results by carrying a deep fire, leaving ashes on the grate. THE J. D.

Mrs. Frank Crocker, Pana, 111., writes: "Our five-year-old son Paui caught a severe cold last winter that settled on his lungs and he had terrible cough ing spells. We were greatly worried about him as the medicine we gave him did not help him in the least. A neighbor spoke so highly of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy that 1 got a bot tle of it. The first dose benefitted him so much that I continued giving it to him until he was cured." High School Girls Present Play.

Certain articles of diet tend to check movement of tho bowels. The most common o f these are cheese, tea and boiled milk. On the other hand raw fruits especially apples and ba nanas, also graham brend and whole wheat bread promote a movement of the bowels. When the bowels are bad ly constipaated, however, the sure way is to take one or two of Chamberlain's Tablets immediately after supper. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Melvin Larson returned Saturday ' morning from Corvallis. I Professor G. W. Hall of North Pow- ' lor was in La Grande Saturday. Raymond Cavincss left Saturday moining-for Huntington. George Stoddard left on No. (5 for a trip to Baker. The funeral of Bon Grout was held Sunday afternoon at 1 :130 from the Presbyterian church, Rev. G. L. Clark officiating. A Hint to the Aged. If poople past sixty years of age could be persuaded to go to bed as soon as they take cold and remain in bed for one or two days, they would recover much more quickly, especially if they bike Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. There would also be less danger of the cold being followed by anv of the more serious diseases. The shipment of potatoes from Ar oostock County, Maine, in 191(5, amounted to 18,000,000 bushels, and for this great quantity the farmers received not less than $12,00,000. In Gurmany there has been n vented a fireproof cellulosid, chiefly for use in outomobile windows and wind shields.

Company Formed ' To Handle Tractor A company has been recently form ed to handlo the Universal Tractor in Union and Wallowa counties. This is tho machine for which the farmer has been waiting. A practical farm tractor heavy enough to do all the work of four to six horses, at a price which places it within the reach of all. A "farm horse" that never gets tired or takes a day off to get shod, and yet costs little more, complete, than any of the horses it replaces. While the horses are being brushed, fed and harnersod, Universal is out in the field or on the road it eats as it goes, and when It stops the board bill stops, too. It is extremely simple in operation and any one who can handle an automobile can operate it with ease. By means of its great gear reduction its normal road speed is brought down to a pulling speed of from two to six miles per hour and the piwer of iha car is mul tiplied ten times, thus making nu more strain on the engine at plowing speed than at 18 to 20 miles per hour road speed. The mechanism of tho car is not altered in any way, and by removing the attachment, the cur wn be con verted into a pleasure car again with very little work. This feature alone gives the owner of the Universal all the advantages of an efficient farm tractor and still retain:; the useful ness of the car foi road work, with out any duplication. of equipment. Owing to the enormous tractive power -of this attachment in propor tion to its weight, it will accomplish much of the work of a big expensive tractor and yet will not pack tho ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR WESTERN OIL It is reported that one of the big gest auto stage companies on the coast, operating lines over various parts of the central and southern sec tions of the state of California, has finally decided to hereafter use only western lubricating oil made from California asphalt-base crude. The decison comes, it is said, after many and varied experiences with dif ferent oils. The company's practical road tests proved the western oil to be not only the most efficient lubri cant, but also tho one to leave the least carbon. This company, tho report states, op- leiaes about 80 automobiles in all, in cluding Packard twin sixes, Cadillac eights, Whites and other high grade cars. i !

It can be used for heavy hauling without damage to the roads, so that when not busy in the fields it can be utilized to bring produce to mar ket at a great saving of time and ex pense over that of horse-drawn trans portation. Being constructed of structural rteel castings, throughout, the Universal is practically indestructible, and tho only part which could ever need re placment is the pinion gear, which can be replaced at a very small cost. Tak-' en altogether, the power, the hill climbing ability and the strength of the Universal attachment make it the -most practical tractor ever offered to tho farmer, and at a price so low he cannot afford to be without it. In speaking of this tiractar Mr. Zundell, the manager, said: "I started to investigate this machine with the idea of raising tho officency of the operating of my father's ranch, which I am running, and having been thor oughly convinced as to the reliability' of the Gerlinger Motor company of Tacoma, the manufacturers, in mak ing their guaranteo good and seeing the enormous possibility of this ma chine to every farmer, I formed a company to handle these counties. This machine will be sold here for less than the cost of one good team and will do the work of from four to six horses. I figure that my plowing will cost me 40 cents per acre now and nothing to feed when I am through. "We will havo a demonstration her in a few days."
