Stiff & Soiv "Quick Sales and Small Profits." Defendant's Attorney Pleads For Slaughter Oroville, Cal., Mar. 28. Having been painted black by the district attorney, Rev. Madison Slaughter, charged with attacking Gertrude Lamson, aged 15, was pictured as a persecuted emblem of virtue by defense lawyers in their jury argument today. Guy Kennedy and W. H. Schooler, Slaughter's counsel, reviewed the de fense evidence at length. They con-' tended that it proved the pastor did not I sec Gertrude nt all on November l.'t and j November 14, the dates of the alleged offenses, asserted that the "girl in the' case" had been shown by her ow n i mother to have been spiteful from in-; fancy and claimed the ch.irges against Slaughter were the work of baneful in terests which would gain by getting him out of the way. The arguments were heard by a big crown, rilling every seat in court anrtl standing outside the door. Practically j the same crowd yesterday heard prose- j riiiurn iienounce fimgnier most Bit terly, and declare he had been proven a villainous character and na "attempt ed murderer of Gertrude Lamson'a soul." Rev. Slaughter listened to ar guments for both sides with a serious expression but manifested no sign of emotion even when he was cnlled a " hum in monster. ' ' When court convened today Rev. Slaughter- asserted h burglar had ran sacked his church and gone through the church reconls lit. nlYi.pn.l a'.fl reward lor the prowler and indicatelj that some person interested in the charges tig unit iiim was responsible. Several cases still pending against Slaughter, in which he is accused of of fenses against Gertrude Lnuison, were brought up today and (.ostponed for two weeks. INDOOR LIFEJAKES FAT TRY OIL OF KOREIN TO KEEP WEIGHT DOWN, OR TO RE DUCE SUPERFLUOUS FAT. s. People who me confined within doors and who are deprived of fresh, invigor ating air and exercise must take pre caution to guard against over-stoutness, ns fat acquired by indoor life is unhealthy and a danger to the vital organs of the body. Lack of exercise in the fresh air is said to weaken the oxygen carrying power of the blood, so that it is unable to produce strong mus cles and vitality and the formation of unsightly and unhealthy fat is the re sult. If you arc 5 or 20 pounds above nor mal weight you are daily drawing on your reserve strength and are constant ly lowering your vitality by carrying this excess burden. Any persons who are satisfied in their own mind that the are too stout are advised to go to Central Pharmacy or a good druggist and get a box of oil of korein capsules, and take one after each meal and one just before retiring at night. Even a few days treatment has been reported to show a noticeable reduction in weight, improved digestion nnd a re turn of the old energy; footsteps be come lighter and the skin less flabby in appearance as superfluous fat dis appears. Oil of korein is inexpensive, cannot injure, and helps the digestion. Any person who wants to reduce 15 or 20 pounds is advised to give this treat ment a trial. WOMEN LISTEN TO REASON. ; Fight Against Brown Rot j Is On In Earnest! .Now that the brown rot his become! la serious menace to the prune and clier-l J ry orchards of the Willamette valley1 and ulo in certain sections of Washiiljj ! ton, the government, as well as the Ore-: i gnu Agricultural college, is tilive to the' : necessity of establishing experimental! i stations. j i Willi.im A. Taylor, chief of the Bu- Irenu of i'lnnt Industry at Washington, j i 1). C, has written Congressman Huw ' ley that stations would be established in the valley and would probably be in I the district near Salem. Spraying tests were made in the, 'Spring of 1015 in the orchards of A. W. , Moody, At : rVli In, Washington. The first snaying was done when the buils' were beginning to swell, the second' when the cluster buds were open ami the blossoms showing white and the third when the petals were practically off. The first mixture was a 4-4-. 0, Bordeaux and the later ones a S-s-.iii: mixture. No spreader or sticker w.-is' atililcd to any of the mixtures. The: final results showed th it the sprayed trees retained from three to five times j 'as much fruit as the uusprnyed ones. If I an adhesive mixture hat been used, it is probable that the results would iiuve been inure striking. i In the experiments tried throughout j the season, the following materials were used: ! 1.

In 1014. he declared they moved to Seittl, Miss Coots continuing to act as his stenogrupher. They had many talks alone, he said, Miys Coots pressing him for more mon ey and threatening to tell Mrs. liailey llint he was secreting property that she might not obtain title to it in divorce proceedings that were pending.
