PURE MILKTHEIR SLOGAN Pendleton ia Shaken By War on Diseased Herds. Pendleton is being stirred from cen ter to circumference by the agitation started recently for a pnier milk sup ply. It was started almost inadver teutly by City Physioian Cole, who duelared that a large percentage of the dairy cows whiob supply Pendleton witb milk are infected witb tubercu losis and tbat tbe disease is transmigs able from tbe bovine to tbe human. As a result of this statement and tbe agitation and crusade which is follow ing in its wake the council will be ask ed to pass an ordinance providing for tbe inspection of all dairy beids, tbe testa to bo made by the bureau of an imal industry without expense to tbe city or tbe owners of cattle, and for the killing of all oows found to be in fected. Tbe measure will also prescribe san itary regulations, wbioh tbe dairymen will observe. Among these will bo a provision for the scalding of milk cans. It will also provide that milk bottles belonging to tbe dairies and uaod generally by tbe public shall not be loft at houses where thero are cases of infectious diseases. An inspection of stables and corrals will be ordered and tbe methods used iu milkiug cows will be investigated. MACHINE WARNING OF FROST Rings Bell When Mercury Falls to Point Endangering Orchards. Scientific fruit raising bus been de liberately shoved into a new era by tbe recent installation of tbo automatic uleotrio frost foreteller in tbo larger orchards of tbo Kenuewick iriigated belt. New sets of agricultural and horticultural rules have been arranged by each farmer, who now sleeps tbe sleep of tbe righteous, though tbe mercury may drop to the zero mark during a cold spell, without tbe slight est fear that when he resumes daily duties the following morning he will Hnd bis crop blackenedjwith frost. Tbe frost foreteller is an innocent looking pieoo of apparatus ns it sits idly under tho apple trees, but it has a little thermometer firmly planted amidships tbat never goes to sleep. When the temperature starts a swift slide toward tbe freezing mark, several Wa to select from.

T Kidder, McArthur Building degrees on tbe safe aide thereof tbe trusty tbermomoter begiDS to ring tbat bell in tbe farmer's bed-room and keeps on ringing it until be comes out into tbe orchard and turns it off. Scattered around here and there are covered pots. Ihese pots are filled witb crude petroleum, and once alarm ed by the glass, tbe fruitgrower simply goes rapidly from pot to pot with a handful of matches, and it's all up with Jack Frost. In a moment tbe trees are enveloped iu a thick, black smoke and tbo frnit crop is saved, tbe tops go back on tbe pota and tbe fires go out. A frnit inspeotor says tbat orchards thus supplied with smudge pota can be kept eight degrees warmer than those without them, and many have been saved witb them where smudge-potless ranches adjoining suffered total losses. Smudge pots are nsed in many places. Probably tbe Chinese invented them, but a new era dawned witb tbe ap pearance of tbe tbermo-electrio indi cator which unfailingly gives tbe warniug when to smudge. Waitsburg Must Pay Tax.

I consider Wine of Cardui superior to any doctor's medicine I ersr nsed and I know whereof I speak. I suf fered for nine months with suppressed menstruation whioh completely pros trated me. Pains wonld shoot through my back and sides and I would have blinding headaches. My limbs wonld swell up and I would (eel so weak 1 oould not stand up. I naturally felt discouraged for I seemed to he beyond trie help of physicians, but W ine of Cardul came as a Ood-send to me. I felt a change for the better within a week. After nineteen days treatment I menstruated without suffering the agonies I usually did and soon became regular and without pain. Wine of Cardui is simply wonderful and I wish that all suffering women knew of its good qualities. Treasurer, Portland Economio League Periodical headaches tell of fe male weakness. Wine of Cardui cures permanently nineteen out of every twenty cases of irregular menses, bearing down pains or any female weakness. If you are discouraged and doctors have failed, that is the best reason in the world you should try Wine of Cardui now. Remember that headaches mean female weakness.
