THE WASTES OF THE BODY.

Every seven days the blood, muscles
and bones of man of average size,
loses two pounds of wornout tissue.
This waste cannot be replenished and
the health kept up without perfect di-

gestive organs fail to perform their
functions, the strength lets down,
health gives way, and disease sets up.

stomach and digestive organs to di-
gest and assimilate all of the Who'll
some food that may be eaten, into the
kind of blood that rebuilds the tissues
and protects the health and strength

Robbins and Million are well known
and substantial ranchers, old time
residents Of the valley. AT present
they are farming adjoining ranches,
having leased portions of the Ravalli
Stock farm, part of the Daily

men met in Robbins field where he

John A. Hays sensational sui
against James H. Cowan for 500 900
damage for the alienation of his wife's
affections came to an abrupt end last
Thursday morning at about II o'clock.
Following the reading of one letter and
the introduction of another, of which
Mr.. Cowan was the alleged author,
the attorneys for the defense asked
for recess at which time consulta-
tions were held between opposing
counsel and the PRINCIPALS i'm the case.

Woody, for the plaintiff, announced
that settlement out of court had
about been agreed upon and asked for
a further recess until ; O'Clock. This
was granted. At 3 o'clock the at
torneys for the plaintiff moved for a
dismissal of the case. This was
granted. Court shortly after adjourn

The basis of settlement soon leaked
out. Cowan was to pay Hay $4,000
and each was to pay his own
costs.
Meanwhile Mr.. and Mrs. Cowan
drove to Corvallis. He returned short
ly with the money, in the shape Of two
$1,000, three $500 and five 500 bills
which was paid over to the defend
ants attorneys and settlement in

pressed himself as being glad to set
