Deputy Dies mn He Hoped.
' Gun fighting with desperadoes. Dep
uty Sheriff Scott died as he hoped to
die, in the performance of the duty
he loved, Sheriff Stringer said today.
"He was a star in his business,"
aid Sheriff Stringer, "a hard worker,
a quick thinker, who displayed a
wonderful ability in running down
criminals."
In the short time he had been here
he had solved the mystery of the
Kyer diamond robbery and the Cohen
diamond robbery and run the perpe
trators down.
. He had found and raided scores of
moonshine stills and bootleggers'

portant cases turned over to the
sheriff's office for solution.
Death Deepen Mysteries. -

ers of Postmaster Paschich at Cum
berland," said Sheriff Stringer. "He
told me something of it, and had
reached a point where he was soon to
have made arrests. He was nearing
the solution of several other Impor
tant cases, but the details of his work
will go with him to his grave."
"When Scott started out on a case
lie finished it," said his former part
ner, J. W. Jeffries, who came from
Portland to get the body. "He worked
day and night, and I never knew but
one instance where he failed, and that
wasn't entirely a failure. He arrested
the men, but the Jury turned them
loose. In every other case he got a
conviction."

and convictions In Portland, he was
put on the staff of the late Governor

Silver Falls Timber Company Re
fuses to Recognize Labor
Organization.
SILVERTOX. Or., April 5. (Spe
cial.) When the Silver Falls Timber
company refused to reinstate about 40
men who had been discharged by rea
son of their Identification with the
timber workers' union more than two
thirds of the crew refused to work
this morning and a strike has been
declared by the union. It also is ex
pected that the strike will take effect
in the camps as well as the mill.
Manager Woodard of the Silver
Falls company made a statement a
few nights ago before an audience ot
members of the local Legion of Log
gers and Lumbermen that the com
pany would not tolerate the timber
workers' union nor would the com
pany employ men identified with the
union. Subsequent to this statement
about 40 men were discharged.
At a meeting of the timber workers
held last night it was decided to de
clare a strike and an effort Is being
made. It ia said, to get help in the
fight from the brotherhood of locomo
tive engineers by refusing to move
cars from the yards. The Silver Falls
Lumber company does not anticipate
much dirrlculty and believes that the
matter soon will be adjusted. The
timber workers are firm in the deci
sion that no members of that body
win go back on the job until the
company unconditionally returns the
men previously discharged.

NEURASTHENIA
CAUSE Neurasthenia is a condi
tion of nervous exhaustion
caused by the' excessive ex
penditure of nervous energy
without proper rest. Influenza,
great grief, extreme anxiety,
shocks and . rheumatism are
contributing causes.
SYMPTOMS Victims feel extreme
nervousness bordering on hys
teria. Imaginary troubles are
worried over and blamed on
others. Sleep is fitful, the ap
petite is variable, indigestion
frequently occurs. Nervous
headaches, heart palpitation,
dizziness, weakness, depres
sion of spirits,- loss of weight
and sensations of fear are also
symptoms. , .
TREATMENT The treatment 'of
neurasthenia is -one of nutri
tion of the nerve cells requir
ing a non-alcoholic-tonic. As
the nerves get their nourish
ment from the b lood the
treatment must be directed to
wards building up the blood.
EXAMPLE Read how this resi
' dent of Colorado overcame the
disease and- regained health
and strength.
"I had an attack of influenza dur
ing the epidemic," says Mrs. H. Ham
ilton, who lives at No. 1040 Kalamath
street, Denver, Colo. "As a result I
was practically a nervous wreck.
There was a pain in the back of my
head and I was so weak that 1 suffered
repeatedly from dizzy spells. I was eas
ily excited and worried a great deal
over troubie that didn't exist. I was
restless and felt that I must be on the
move. My sleep was broken and un
restful and I had very little appetite.
"I had heard of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for years and finally, when
I continued to grow weaker and to
lose weight, I procured a box and be
gan taking the pills. Within a week
my appetite improved. Then I began
to regain my strength. I gained
weight and my nerves became strong
er. I feel practically as well as ever
now, thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. I have told many of my friends
about the pills; for I have grea con
fidence in them."
A booklet, "Diseases of the Nervous
System," which tells about neurasthe
nia, will be sent free on request by the
Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Box 1003,
Schenectady, N. T. All druggists sell
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills or they will
be sent by mail, postpaid, on receipt ,
of price. 60 cents' per box. Adv.
cial.) Joseph George was brought to
court this morning to stand trial on
a charge of having violated the quar
antine laws by failure to report the
illness of his wife of smallpox,
through which negligence two other
cases of the disease developed, and
was fined $25 by Judge D. L. Cates..

low grade grain twice. In addition
to "docking" for the low grade, the
total weight is divided by fro to de
termine the number of bushels
Changes are asked toTrovlde thai

Home
over for
less than -$100.
YOU know
that spring
feeling of being -
it-aick of everv
room in the house. After living shu t up
ill winter, the wallpaper nemi dingy,
the rugs ugly and every piece of furni
tore looks like something from the boo.
Along about dandelion time, I always '
begin to shift things about but the more
I move them the worse they seem.
This year I Vas in despair. I made
up my mind we would have to re pa per -tnd
repaint, and buy a lot of new ' "
draperies, furniture and rugs. So 1 v"'
lent for the painter and the paper
hanger. But when I got their rati- '
mates. I just had to lie down and rest.
Then I made a tour of the stores, and
oh! the lorcly things I saw. And oh!
the lovely prices!
At last one evening, I handed to my '
husband a Cert of the things I thought
we needed, and the cost. He took
one look at it, then at me, and we both -"-'
jus burst out laughing.
"Yi hat do you think I am," he said,
Ma munition worker?"
Then came the reaction and we were -both
as glum as we could be. He sat
with his eyes on the celling, and all
of a sudden be said:
Gee,howIhatethatoldchandelierr
"Me, too," I replied, "but when ws ; '
bought it, we thought it was exquisite.
"By Jove!",
he said.
"that reminds
me. Coming
out on the car
one day I over
heard an archi
tect talking to
his client. He
was saying
something like
this. "The trou
ble with half
the homes in
this city is that
the lighting ef
fect is wrong.
People buy fix
tures because they think they are
pretty, instead of buying lighting
effects. Oftentimes, by simply chang- :
ing the distribution of light, I havs
shown people how to save hundreds
of dollars that they were intending to .
spend on re-decorating or on nrw .
furnishings. You see, the old fashion- .
ed kind of lighting made a glare around -the
chandelier, and left great chunks
of gloom along the walls andHoor. The '
new idea in lighting is to get plenty of
light in all parts of the room, without
too much anywhere. This new system, '
called the Duplexalite, does thst. It , -
has made it possible for the first time k
to use in the home the Mazda C lamp,
which is the most efficient and economi- '
cal lamp yet discovered.
And then he went on to tell how it
was made. It seems that most of the
light rays go to the ceiling and are then
deflected to all parts of the room, giv
ing a soft radiance that makes every
object in the room look its best, while -other
rays go directly downward
through a glass disc giving an increased .
intensity for reading or working."
To cut a long story short, my
husband made some inquiries the very
next day. He found that Duplexa
lites had long been used in several of '
our leading retail stores and in the
best hotels and were even going to be
installed in his own office. He also .
found that in the home they could be
used with beautiful shades of silk, -cretonne
or parchments and so can be
made to harmonize with any decorative
scheme in any room, no matter bow -elaborate
or how simple.
And when we found that an electri- "
dan could put up four or five Duplexa
lites in an hour, that settled it.
The upshot of it is that for less than
$100 we have succeeded in actually -doing
our home over, without repaper
ing or repainting a single room, or ' .
buying a stick of furniture just by ',
changing the lighting. And, as tkey
say in the movies, "You wouldn't
know the old place now."
