Fruitola possesses properties that act directly upon the intes tinal parts, softening the congested waste and disintegrating the hardened particles that cause so much suffering, and expels the ac cumulatioJ. to the great relief of the patient Iraxo u i a tonic alterative that acts on the liver and kidneys, stimulates the flow of gastric juices, to aid digestion and removes bile from the general circulation.

Lawyers are Invited to Baseball Game by Winning Typos - The Conquerering Heroes, more commonly known as the printers of Oregon City, have issued a formal challenge to the lawyers of Oregon City for a baseball game to be played on the diamond at Gladstone park on Sunday, August 27, and the barris ters have announced their tentative acceptance. There are a number of lawyers in the city who could still qualify as baseball material, although it is gen erally admitted that most of their ability is vocal, and certain of the more enthusiastic representatives of the profession are attempting to re cruit a nine. In case the lawyers find it possible to accept the challenge the printers will enlist the reportorial and editor ial staffs of the county seat newspa pers for. the battle. The barristers have a galaxy of stars, past and pres ent, which would compose a formid able opponent for the printers and editors. The college experience of some of these men is a testimony to their ability. G. L. Hedges, for in stance, former third baseman of the Yale college nine, his brother, J. E. Hedges, star pitcher of the freshman team at Yale in 1892, and Charles Sievers, spitball artist, late of Pacific university and the University of Ore gon. Then, of course, there is Tom Burke, deputy district attorney; Jus tice of the Peace John Seivers; "Big Bill" Stone, Dean Butler, and other possibilities too numerous to mention. The backers of the lawyers team promise to appoint E. C. Dye as their official mascot. "Baseball? . Well, now, most of my baseball was played with distingu ished gentlemen," said District Attor ney Gilbert L. Hedges, third baseman of the Phillips academy nine at An- dover, way-back east, and star second sacker of the Yale 'varsity team in the good-old-days . Vance McCormick, manager of Woodrow Wilson's presi dential campaign, was a team mate of Mr. Hedges at Andover. academy. Walter F. Carter, brother of Mrs. Charles E. Hughes, was the first choke pitcher on the Yale college team with Mr. Hedges. John C. Greenway, famous first lieutenant in Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders was also a team mate at Andover. The Yale 'varsity team, of which the district attorney was a member, played the New York Giants at the polo grounds in New York and upon that occasion the sensational work of Mr. Hedges, temporarily at short stop, won recognition in big type on the sporting page of the New York Herald. "Still, the harness of the old game might not prove irksome again," said Mr. Hedges. "Yes, I think I shall play with the lawyers if a game is arranged." DON'T RISK NEGLECT Don't neglect a constant backache, sharp, darting pains or urinary dis orders. The danger of dropsy or Bright's disease is too serious to ig nore. Use Doan's Kidney Pills as have your friends and neighbors. An Oregon City case. ' Thomas Trembath, 319 Sixth St., Oregon City, says: "I have found Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from Huntley Bros.

Oregon City, Oregon KENT MAY RETURN Soldier Wilson Would Resume Studies at State University Kent , Wilson, son of Sheriff and Mrs. W. J. Wilson, will probably take advantage of any chance he may be granted by the war department to re turn to Oregon in time to resume his studies at the state university, where he is a student. Kent enlisted in the hospital corps when the call to arms was sounded in Oregon, and is with the Oregon troops on the Mexican border. This week Sheriff Wilson complied with the young man s request and sent him an outfit of citizen's clothes, and this request would indicate that the young man may apply for permission to re turn to his school work. Nothing definite has been done as yet by the war department with a view to releasing students from ser vice, but such action is expected at any time. Kent recently took part in the great field and track meet at the Panama- California exposition at San Diego in which athletes from all parts of the country were-represented. Kent wore the colors of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club of Portland. The re sults of the meet, as far as the sher iff's son is concerned, have not been learned here. GROCERS ORGANIZE E. F.
