He Was Innocent.

After having John siefert arrested
for the theft of $50, Ritchie & Wells,
local grain dealers, of Forest Grove,
found the money securely hidden among
their grain sacks, where one Of the
members of the firm had placed it for
safe keeping. The money was missing
from the till early Tuesday morning,
and suspicion rested upon young Sic.
fert, who was reported to have been
seen around the store, and whose repu.
tation was not Of the best. Siefert
was arrested, but was released when the
proprietor found the money where he
himself put 1t. 1t is expected that Sic
fert will bring suit against the firm
which caused his arrest. Ritchie &
Wells are now hunting through their
grain sacks for $40, which was missed
some time ago, and is believed 20 have
disappeared in the same way.

WHY ONE is 50 WEAK
HOW TO OVERCOME THE Lam
GUoR OF THE WARM SEASON.
Winter Confinement Uses Up the
Strength Of the Blood and Fills
the Body Full Of Impurities.

Why do we feel out of sorts just
when the hardships of winter are over
and the outdoor world begins to be at
tractive9 We are fevorish and listless
and weak, while nature all about us is
astir with fresh life and the contradic.
tion puzzles us.
The explanation is after all not so
difficult In winter the air of the close
rooms in which we spend so much of
the time does not furnish enough oxy.
gen to the lungs to burn out the foul
matter in the blood. Everyone knows
the uncomfortable feelings that follow
the breathing of bad air and that are
cured by simply opening a window for
a short time. The worst effects, how
ever, are those which are stored up and
do not appear at once.
In the cold season we do not exercise
as much and the skin and kidneys do
not throw of the waste matter as free
ly. The whole system gets clogged
just as a machine does when IL is not
cleaned with frequency. The stomach
does its work feebly and gets less nour-
ishment out of the food. SO there is
weakness everywhere, weak organs
weak muscles, weak nerves.
Whom the warm weather comes, the
system is found to be overloaded with
poisonous matter, and too feeble TO
throw II off. Relief can be had only
through the use Of remedy that will
promptly and thoroughly purity and
strengthen the blood, and the best one
for this purpose is the great blood
tonic known as DR.. Willims' Pink Pills.
