WILL NEVER BE A CRATER
Lad Sends 4
Quarter to Portland Fair i'm
Payment OF Admission.

Secretary Henry f. Reed of the
Lewis and Clark Exposition has just
sent an up-to-date camera, with a roll
of films and other accessories, to 49,
year-old f. r. Newman, of Colfax,
Wash. The secretary does not send
cameras to every boy who attends the
exposition, but in the case Of Master
Newman he made an exception.
A few days ago Secretary Reed re-
ceived letter from young Newman,
containing a quarter, and explaining
that the money was sent because the
boy, at the suggestion of an older per
son, had represented himself to be
under 12 years of age and by this
means had entered the exposition
gate free on the Fourth of July, when
children under II were thus admitted.
When the boy returned home his con-
science smote him. 81 think ought
to have paid" he wrote. The boys
honesty so pleased the secretary that
the camera was sent in appreciation.
Mr.. Reed sent with it letter which no
doubt Master Newman will treasure
all his life.

A Warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. As a rule it is only
necessary to give the child dose Of
castor oil to correct any disorder of the
bowels. Do not use any substitute, but
give the old-fashioned castor oil, and
see that it is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates
and has a tendency to grippe. If this
does not check the bowels give Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and then dose of castor oil,
and the disease may be checked in its
incipiency and all danger avoided. The
Gator oil and this remedy should
be procured at once and kept ready for
instant use as soon as the first indica-
tions of any bowel trouble appears.
This is the most successful treatment
known and may be relied upon with
implicit confidence even in cases Of
Cholera infantum. For sale by Wilson
Drug Co.

~STOMAOH TROUBLE."

bad that had to lay off quite often two and
three days in a week my stomach would bloat
and would belch up gas aud was in awful dis

treated by the best doctors in this city but got
no help whateYer. Some said had cancer OF
the stomach, others catarrh, others dyspepsia

continued to get worse all the time. About
twelve months ago l was in such condition

very bad shape. Hands and limbs were cold

cBiilk for babes but meat for DIen.'
When a man can no more eat a mans
food, but exists OH a milk and cracker
diet he is gone back to babyhood. He
may be big man but he has baby s
stomach.
Success in life depends largely on the
stomach. The man with the babys
stJ..L.l,i finds himself also with babys
pecviallness and perversity. He has the
baby's exaggerated personal sensitive
ness and jealousy. He is an annoyance
to lis friends and an anxiety to his
fanily. No man can be stronger than
his stomach. A weak stomach argues
weak man. And "weak stomach is
the common starting point of most OF
the so-called weaknesses" which affect
the great organs heart, lungs, liver,
kidneys, etc. How can it be otherwise
when the body and all its organs are
dependent on the stomach for their
nutrition? The "weak stomach drags
the organs down with it, because being
weak Il is unable to convert food into
nutrition, and the organs of the body
being starved, of necessity become weak,
as a consequence of starvation.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t
makes the weak body strong in the only
way physical strength can be made,
which is by food, properly digested and
assimilated. The cures of uweak lungs,
rweak heart, 0weak or sluggish liver,
cweak" kidneys, ETC., which follow the
use of "Golden Medical Discovery" are
all due to this perfect nutrition of the
body the proof Of which is the remark
able gain of sound, solid flesh, which
Invariably marks the cure.
