OUsTING THE MOLE.
New Method Being Employed to D
troy the Pest on the Exposition
Goounds.

Portland. Nov. 23.-While every
man has his trade, and there are
many strange ways of making a
living, it is doubtful if there is
another man in America who makes
his living as does M. T. Whitney,
of t hitwood, Oregon. Mr.. Whit
ney mas been engaged to destroy
tht .noles which have threatened to
un'n to large extent the work of
b,a tifying the grounds of the Lew
is !. d Clark Centennial sEx position
at cortland. For time it was
fsa ed that the beautiful lawns on
the exposition grounds would be
sp led by the borings of the moles.
Ia his work Of determination Mr..
Wbitney uses method which he
him self discovered, and which he
declares to be most effective. The
moles are killed in their holes by
gases which are forced into the bur
rows by the explosion of a patent
cartridge. The cartridge is lighted,
thrust into the mouth of the hole,
and then covered over. with dirt,
the dirt being stamped down hard.
When the cartridge explodes half a
minute later, the smoke and gases
engendered are forced to every part
of the burrow, and the mole dies
wherever he happens to he.
The cartridge is an interesting
piece of work. 1t, consists of an
ordinary piece of fuse, six inches
long, about which Is wrapped pa
per covering containing small
amount of fine black powder. The
ends of the cartridge are fastend te
prevent the powder escaping. The
whole contrivsnce resembles a com
mon fire cracker. 1t is exploded il
the same way, the only difference
being that the powder, being loose.
ly packed, does not explode SO VIC
lently. Mr.. Whitney, the inventor
is an interesting old man, and talks
of his trade modestly, though with
entire confidence in his method.
"The cartridges were used exten
sively by Prof. George Coote of the
Oregon Agricultural College," hs
said. "BY means of them Prof
| Coote managed to rid the campus
of the college, at Corvallis, of go
pher pest that he had tried in vair
to Destroy"
Mr.. Whitney admits that wher'
the animals have bored in soft
loosely packed earth, as in q gar
den, his method is less effective
but he claims even in such case
the moles and gophers can be kill
ed off in short time. The Fai
gardener is satisfied with the worl
SO far.

Very Annoying to Some People.

People that are known to be weak and
slckly, BY their nelghbors, are asked tile
question every day whether they are
feeling better. Do you feel stronger, are
you gaining flesh? Their friends know
IL they are gaining flesh, 1t is one Of the
sure signs Of returning health. If they
can only get a remedy that will make
solid healthy flesh, recovery Is assured.
People with nervous troubles, loss Of flesh
and strength, no ambition, languid and
always tired, have thin watery blood.
The food they eat does not nourish them,
1t does not make blood. II after each
meal they would take Dir. Gums Blood
and Nerve Tonic, their food would be
turned into rich, red blood, making solid
flesh and strength. The tablets are sold
In boxes by all druggists for rs cts or 8
boxes for 80. People who use this Tonic
gain ln solid flesh from l to 3 lbs per
week. They feel better and know they
are on The road to health. For sale by
