me time to make an inquiry, he said:
Are yez the young mon that sold

"Cuticura Is Blessing"

"At all times and to all people

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees with Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: "In the prac-
tice of my profession | have found so
many points in favor of Grape-Nuts
food that unhesitatingly recommend
it to all my patients.
at is delicate and pleasing to the
palate (an essential in food for the
sick) and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream
for babies or the aged when deficiency
of teeth renders masticatlon impos-
sible. For fever patients or those on
liquid diet | find Grape-Nuts and al
bumen water very nourishing and re-
freshing. This recipe is my own idea
and is made as follows: Soak tea
spoonful of Grape-Nuts in glass OF
water for an hour, strain and serve
with the beaten white of an egg and
spoonful of fruit juice or favoring.
This affords a great deal of nourish-
ment that even the weakest stomach
can assimilate without any distress.
my husband is physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders
II many times for his patients.
personally I regard a dish of
Grape-Nuts with fresh or .stewed fruit
as the ideal breakfast for anyone
well or sick" Name given by Postum

In any case of stomach trouble,
nervous prostration or brain fag. a
10 days trial of Grape-Nuts will work
wonders toward nourishing and re-
building, and in this way ending the
trouble. There's reason" and trial
proves.

Hood Rivers Latest Success.

The picking last week Of several
Casaba cantaloupes on the ranch of E.
II. Shepard is said by fIuit growers to
demonstrate that Hood River valley
can produce many varieties Of fruits
that it has as yet never attempted to
grow. The Casaba cantaloupe is said
to be not only the finest but the most
delicate variety of this much esteemed
fruit annd originally it was thought
that it could not be grown outside of
Mexico to which it was considered in
digenous. OF late years it has been
cultivated at Grants Pass, in this
state, and it has always been said that
they could not be grown elsewhere. in
Oregon. The successful growing Of
them on the ranch of Mr.. Shepard,
several of which be has exhibited and
giveu to friends shows, however, that
such is not the case. These melons
are said to bring the top notch price
for cantaloupes in Portland, retailing
for as high as 40 and 80 cents apiece.
1t Is thought that the soil in some To-
caIities is particularly adapted to rails
ing them and that it given cultivation
commercially they might prove most
lucrative crop.

Spokane Interstate Fair.

One of the most important move
ments ever started in the Pacific
Northwest is the convention which
has been called to meet in Spokane,
Sept. 25, during the Spokane Inter
state fair, TO which all the commerc
ial bodies in Washington, Oregon,
Idaho and Montana have been invited
to send delegates. q. b. Dennis,
chairman of the publicity committee
of the chamber of commerce, and
Theodore B. Wilcox, chairman of the
executive committee of the Portland
Commercial club, have issued the
call, which has been widely published
by the press in the Pacific Northwest.
Many OF the leading commercial bod
les already have signifed their inten-
tion of sending delegates and to assist
in every way possible with the work.
The Call says: "The purpose of this
gathering is to bring together the rep
resentative men VI the most lprospel
Gus sections of the United States, and
after thorough consultation, unite
upon a plan to advertise the actuaal
resources, and not to exploit the Pc
culiar advantages of any CT the cities.
Every city and town in the -four
states is equally interested in secur'
ing the home builder, for it ia only
through incresed population that W.
can develop these tremendous resourc
es.
The railroads will grant low rates tC
all delegates. One line of work fol
the convention will be to take steps
to induce the legislature for the four
states interested to make sppropria-
tions for advertising the northwest.

Chops Down Orchard as a Protest

Spokane, August 3l.-Ishmael Cow
mel, a socialist of Oksnogan county,
has destroyed fruit orchard valued
at $40, 600 as protest against q tax
system which he opposes on princi.
pie. He is large fruit grower, and
for years has reaped a liberal income
from orchards, which we're just COM
ing into prime bearing condition.
This year the Okanogan assessor
placed a valuation of 800 an acre on
the ranch. The socialist Is violent
opponent of the tax system, and the
increase in valuation capped the eli
max. He deliberately put the sx co
% acres of his fine orchards and de-
mands reinspection Of the land, so
that it might be classified as ploW
lands, which carry low valuation.
The supposition is that the man g
mind is somewhat unhinged by ar
dent advocacy of solciaistic theory.

ST. JOHNS HAS
TAKEN NOTICE

From Hood River comes the tidings
that the Fruit Growers Union of that
valley have disposed of theii entire
crop OF 1.Spitzenberg apples at the re-
markable price of 80 per box or bet
ter. This is truly wonderful price
for apples-thlee dollars per hushel,
or more than four cents apiece. And
this price is paid for the apples two
months before they are ripe by New
York firm who Travelled past miles and
miles of the finest kind of looking ap-
pie orchards in order to get to Oregon
and secure her best apples. Imagine
making trip hack east and stopping
off at farm house where the farmer
was busy gathering his crop of apples.
And sauntering over to where he
was busily engaged in filling his bags
or barrels with big apples and little
apples, wormy apples and diseased ap-
pies which had weathered the frosts
and the storms AMI the heat of the
sun, and you should gently whisper
in his ear that Oregon fruit raisers
we're getting three dollars busbel for
their apples, no matter how well you

nor how high your reputation for
truth and veIacity might be in that
particular locality, this farmer would
then and forever thereafter look with
suspicion on your statements and
doubt any further assertions you
might make concerning the Oregon
country Anything else could not be
xpected of the average eastern farm
er. He knows he raises some very
good apples in his own orchard and
Is very glad to dispose of them for
fifty cents a bushel, but three dollars
box is beyond his comprehension.
So many things out Of the ordinary
occur in Oregon and are reported
from time to time that eastern peo-
pie are incredulous. The middle class
never tastes a Hood River Spitzen'
berg. The idea of paying ten cents
apiece for them in the New York mar
kets is preposterous to them, but it il
a fact tn they are readily disposed
