Plenty Of .Exer-
else Necessary

Plenty of regular exercise must be
taken in order to keep the body in a
healthy condition. Any excessive or un-
usual exertion, however, is sure to cause
stiffness and soreness of the muscles and
joints
To counteract this effect there is moth
ing better than Sloan's Liniment. Lay it
on lightly where the muscles have been
strained; it requires no rubbing for it
penetrates right to the bone, relieves any
congestion and inflammation and makes
the muscles elastic and plant.
Sloan's Liniment is. great boon to
athletes, for it not only relieves pain and
stiffness, but it is an excellent remedy
for sprains, cuts, bruises and cramps

writes: II am an engineer on the South
ern road from Chattanooga to Memphis.

arm upon the throttle gives it a sore feel.
ing when on long journey, and there is
nothing that will take the soreness out
like Sloan's Liniment, and / keep a bottle
in my grip always"

No Smallpox in This Village.

The excitement In Brattleboro regard
ing the numerous cases of smallpox has
reached our quiet village in vast waves
and has given rise to several erroneous
reports. The statement was made in the
county papers of last week that there was
one case of smallpox in West Townshend,
and many have been the queries as to
who was the unlucky victim. No one
seemed to know and the case has not vet
been discovered. As was stated in last
weeks issue of The Reformer, there have
been a few cases of chicken-pox in this
village, but there is not, and has not
been, case of smallpox, according to the
statement of the local health officer. An
other report which was, circulated was

THIN OUT YOUR FRUIT TREES
Inspector Saws Unless Apples Are
Trimmed Variety Will Be Poor.

Fruit Inspector @. L. Whitney an
nounoes that the time has arrived to
give apple trees the third spraying for
Goblin moth. Along with this announce
ment Mr.. Whitney gives some good
advice along the line of thinning.
Don't raise pairs on apple trees" he
says Oftimes when the young apples
are crowded together in clusters two
or more will grow together and the re-
suit is deformed and worthless COM
bination. Even where this does not
occur the apples. if allowed to grow
too thick on the trees, will be small
and of inferior quality. Even in
weight, to say nothing of quality, a
well-thinned tree will excel the ne
glooted one in Its yield.
Now is the time to thin peaches,
also. If the horticulturist wishes a
big crop he must thin now. In thin.
ming peaches the greatest care must be
exercised in order to avoid injuring
the stems, The surplus peaches should
never be pulled off, but the stems
should be severed with scissors.

NEW JURY LAW IS APOOR ONE
Prisoners Must Lay Long Time In Jail
Waiting for Grand Jury.

The East Oregonian calls attention
to an example of the effect of the new
Lass leaving the power of indictment
entirely with the grand juries may be
seen in the case of J. G. Ireland, now
under arrest here charged with steal
ing rig from the Mcbride stable al
Athena.
Several days ago District Attorney
Phelps started to file an information
against Ireland but be found that
Governor Chamberlain bad already
proclaimed the new law in force.
Consequently Ireland must wait until
fall when bis case will be laid before
a grand jury. He is now in Jail and
will have served out lengthy sen
tence before he can be tried.
As result Of the change in the Law
the wheels of justice will be made
much slower and there is danger that

. DRY TOWN NOW
Tuesday Night Saloons Quit Business
Many Lay In Supply of
Wet Goods.

AT IL o'clock Tuesday night, June
80, 1908, Athena went on the list as a
dry town in compliance with the local
option law.
Bert Cartano ceased business at his
Eagle bar and closed the doors at 5
O'Clock p. M, having disposed of his
stock of liquors. The "Corner" Saloon
continued business into the night, and
the proprietor cleaned up his liquor
stock, also.
While Athena ia dry as bone, there
are spots that will be wet for some
days to come for the reason that many
laid in supply of wet goods and cell
lars have been stocked with liquid re-
freshments. OF course, the liquor
cached away in this manner is to be
used for medicinal purposes only, and
not for traffic.
The saloons going out of business
here closes up two buildings, making
a total of six built for that purpose,
which are now empty. The optimis-
tically inclined assert that these build
ings will be filled with other lines of
business, better adapted to the welfare
of the community than were the sa-
looms. Athena's revenue is cut down
$1,000 per year, and she will of neces-
sity meet the decrease in some way.
Pendleton is called on to make up
about $4,000 per year as the result of
cutting off liquor licenses and she is
casting about for way to do it. By
a provision in the city charter, Pen
dleton property owners will refuse to
pay county road tax. and will insti-
tute suit against the county to recover
$4,000 collected from city property
owners during the past six years.
That's going some. and will help
some, too. Athena, Weston and other
towns, are not so fortunate.
