Robbed vSaHim iia Transit
Our Fall Line of Ladies Suits and Coats and Children's Coats was robbed in
transit and almost half of it stolen. It breaks the line of sizes, and as they were
not careful in replacing the goods in the box they are slightly mussed, and for
this reason we are making a very attractive price on the lot. Call in and look
them over. You will appreciate every article as a bargain : : : :

No Man is Stronger
1 nan His Stomach
A ttronl man it ttronft all over. No man can be
strong who ia Buffering irom weak atomach with ita
consequent indigestion, or from tome other disease
of the stomach and its associated organs, which im
pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the atomach
ia weak or diseased there is a loaa of the nutrition
contained in food, which ia the source of all physical
strength. When a man "doesn't feel just right,"
when he doesn't sleep well, haa an uncomfortable
leeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despond.
cnt, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength.
Sue a man should use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. It cures diseases ot the atomach and other
organs ot digestion and nutrition. It enrlchea the blood.
Invigorate the liver, strengthens the kidneys, nourishes
the nerves, and so GIVES HEALTH aD STRENGTH TO
THE WHOLE BODY.
You can't afford to accept tttret nostrum as substitute for this non-
alcoholic medicine of known composition, not even though the urgent dealer
may thereby make a little bigger pro6t. Ingredients printed on wrapper.
GROWERS PROTEST
AGAINST PORTER BILL
Wherea , a bill is now peudiog Id
the (Jolted States Congress, knowu as
the Porter bill, applying to closed
packages of applug as articles of State
and Inter-State Commerce, aDd
Whereas, the prorislous of Sec 3 of
said bill eatabliciliitiK the standard size
of apple boxes and of Sea. 4, fixing
giades, vitally nffect tbo interests of
the cotnmcicial fruit growers of tbe
Pnoi Ho Coast in pattionlar; Kesolved,
that tbe Vakim'a Valley Fruit & Pro
duce Growers Association, of Urang
er, Wash., gowera, packers and ship
per of apples to tbe markets of tbe
world, hereby i coord ita objections to
certain provisions of said bill, as fol
lows, to wit:
i'lie measure of the "heaped bu
shel." upon which it is proposed
that sizes of boxes and baskets shall
be based, is a variable standard, de
pendent upon individual traits of
character, sizes of apples or otber
condition, and tberefoie not a scien
tillo measure of capacity. Its only
support Is loe.nl sustoui in . compara
tively l'miled retail markets, where
unpacked apples are sold iu bulk.
Ibis proiiuuial custom, where preva
lent, hIsO applies to other agricultural
products. It belougs to tbe days ot
"rule ot tbiinit" measurement and is
uuwortby of perpetuatiou by law as
to apples or any other product.
The bill does not specify that tb
"heaped bushel" uieusure shall apply
to apples packed in barrels, and in
this respect is unjustly discrimina
tory. Ibe pioposed standard of 2561 cubic
Inches to a but bel of apples is au ar
bitrary aud uncalled tor innovation.
The Winchester tusbel, containing
2150.4 cubic inches is tbe United
States standard. There is no more
reason or justice in changing tbia
standard as applied to apples, than
there would be in obanging it tor
auy or every otber agricultural prod
uct. Tbe standard apple boxes used by
tbia association, and generally ou tbe
Paoflc Coast are of tbe following di
mensions: 10,'i Inches deep by ll1.;
inches wide by 18 inches loug, inside
measurement, aud contain 213.5 Xu
bio incbes, or more than a Winches
ter bushel.
This standard was adopted in the
year 1902, by tbe Northwest fruit
lirowors' association, comprising tbe
states of Washington. Oregon, Idaho,
Montaua, Utah aud tbe province of
British Columbia. It is the result of
knowledge and practical experience,
gained in the growing and marketing
of fruits exteudiug over many years.
It is serving its purpose to the mtis
faction of our glowers, packers .-.od

"I don't care about tbe $5, for 1
