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."

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.
