BODY-RES TORER

Food is the body-restorer.
In health, you want nothing
but food; and your baby wants
nothing but food. But, when
not quite well, you want to get
back to where food is enough.
One of the most delicate
foods, in the world, is SCOTS
emulsion of cod-liver oil.
When usual food is a burden,
it feeds you enough to restore
your stomach; baby the same.

she could not remember any thing

and irritable she could hardly sleep
She described her case as one similar
to thousands of other women, and then
ended the letter by saying she gained

better in her life, having no trace of
her former troubles, slept well and
ate her meals with a relish. This
lady commenced the use of DR.

Southern Oreaon Cider.

The cider factory of the Southern
Oregon Cider and Vinegar Company
will close down for the season in a
few days very likely, as about all the
apples fit for the purpose have been
ground. A carload was received from
Grants Pass this week, and when this
is ground up there will probably be
no more handled this season. There
are now 10 large tanks, each holding
between 5000 and 4, 600 gallon of apple
juice, besides numerous barrels and
kegs. In addition to this, quite large
amount of cider has been shipped to
different points for sale. Attention
will now be directed to the making

Rich Ore at Gold Hi.

Messrs Mears and Herbert of thii
lsace have made what is undoubtedly
the best strike made in this vicinity
for some time, ON what is known u,
tho Cheeney property two miles north
Of Gold Hill. The ledge is of enor.
nous size and very rich in free gold.
They have crosscut the ledge more
than Is feet and yet are not to the hang
ing wall. This ledge has long been
known of, but the owners did not care
to develop it. This property in the
hands Of Moars and Herbert will be
thoroughly prospected and milling ma
chinery erected on the mine, and if we
mistake not, this will be another
big producer for this section of the
country. Gold Hill Ncws.
