Tho (irando (iazotte last week con
tained a full page descriptive article on the

will of our people for publishing it.
People here, says the Wallowa Chieftain,
have emit expecting their mail regularly.
They think it a matter of good fortune to
got papers and letters at all. and great ur
prise is occasioned when there is no delay.
We don't know where the blame should he
placed, but tin re Is a great deal of nogli
genco somewhere, and the matter should
be investigated.

of taxes up to that time. One and one
third por cent, will, however, be added for
collection as allowed by luw.

A CASK IN' POINT.
Ill our forefathers' days, pimples were attrlbu
tod to discuel blood. Out modern medicine liai
dewonstrated that rich food doeauot create crop
tlous by fouliug the blood, but retards tlgstlou
which makes the stomach torpid, and tho clrcu
lutlou sluggish, ami in turn causes au uiifeoblac
action of tbo liores which tougost or become pim
I ply. Tho modern theory therefore is not to treat
the blood, but tho stomach and liver, aud Itii
I tfuUer this new idea, that Joy's Vegetable Hawa
! parillu was conceived. It bus wiped oat the
I blood dlseaio" theory of pimples, of the old tar
! Enparillai. A case tu point " I have had for yea
! spoils of iudlgestiou aud dysiwpsut anil tried
j ueorly everything. Finally I took oue of the
i leading sarsaparlllas. It did not help ins, but
! caused pimples to break out on my face, which 1
' was told was caused by tbf potauli it cuutaiued.
Hearing that Joy's Vegetable siarsaparllla aia not
contain mineral aud might act UlnVrenlly, I sent
for It. Tbe pimples dlieppeared Immediately end
I have now afte. months had no return of the old
ttstlla. Ai "aro for indigestion and dyspepsia
Mid the attendant face eruptions."
