Summer Complaint During the hot weather of the sum mer months some member of almost every family is likely to be trcubled with an unusual looseness of the bowels, and it is of the greatest im portance that this be treated prompt ly, which can only bo done when the medicine is kept nt hand. Mrs. F. F. Scott, Scottsviile, N. Y., states, "1 first used Chamberlnin's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy as much as five years ago. At that time I had a se vere attack of summer complaint and was suffering intense pain. One dose relieved me. Other members of my family have since used it with like results."

LA GRANDE FRUIT CO. ALFALFA HAY Ninety per cent of the hay in Walla Walla County, in all probability, has been sold to cattle and sheep men, leaving a very small percentage to be shipped out. I am extra fortunate inhaving about two thousand tons of strictly number one leafy alfalfa hay to dispose of. I can sell the same within ten days to be shipped away, but much prefer to see the sheep and cattle carried through until spring, as I realize that there will be a big stock loss the coming fall and winter unless properly fed. I can furnish feed ground for the most of this hay. You can ship your stock to Portland via the O.-W. R. & N. on a 'feed in transit" rate, and stop and feed my hay with no extra charge. Hay will be f 25.00 before January first. You can get this hay from me, if you speak in time, for $20.00 per ton. First come, first served. Phone or Write E. C.
