Laxative for
Women Free

There is { great difference in the
purposes 10 which a laxative should
be put. Tablets and pills, salts, etc,
are usually violent purgatives or
~cathartios. and altogether too power
ful for the average person.
4 woman at all times needs only
a mild laxative-in fact, none other Is
needed by anyone, weak or strong though
they may be, for the object Is simply to
move the bowels. and II a gentle laxative
will do IL, what Is the use Of a violent
one?
DR., Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin has earned
a well-deseryed vogue among women and
children and old ~folks-people who must
necessarily be careful Of what they take.
II is a liquid laxative tonic n ad-
mittedly the greatest stomach. liver and
bowel remedy before the American people.
The price is only 80 cents or 81 a bottle.
as 1t in both sizes. and all drug
gists sell II. Its pleasant taste ana gentle
action make IL an ideal remedy for women
in constipation, torpid liver, sour stom-
ach, sick headache, heartburn and such
like digestive complaints. Its use for q
short time will remove the trouble en-
tirely so that future medication will be
unnecessary, Its tonic properties build up
the stomach and intestinal muscles so
that they act naturally again. That this
is so is the experience OF many heads OF
families, like Mrs. Brannan, Of Alvarado.

win Have Bumper Wheat Crop.

Portland, July l3 - Estimates of
the years. wheat crop in the Pacific
Northwest fix the probable yield at
about 55, 0O0, 900 bushels, an increase
by l5,0O0,000 over last year. This fig
ure may not be reached il untavorable
conditions at harvest set in but with
normal weather, 1t is believed the
yield will be large. Recent rains
have been of immense benefit to the
growing crop. Districts where the
grain was practically given up te-
cause of the continued drouth have
taken heart again and the wheat is
filling out in fairly good shape. The
value of the rains of the past week to
the wheat crop Is vsTiously estimated
at from $1,000, 900 to So, ,000, 000 In
creased acreage in many sections of
the state makes up in the total yield
for short crop in some districts. AS
wheat is still sticking around the dol
lar mark, Oregon's Zig wheat crop
will mean great prosperity Tor this
section OF the United States during
the coming year.

FORECAST OF
APPLE MARKET

Reviewing the fruit crop prospects,
Granville Lowthef, of North Yakima,
says in the Washington Fruit Grower,
that two things are to he borne in
mind. The first, is that it is too
early to get the most reliable reports
Second, all reports when obtained are
more or less Jnaccurata, yet they
torn some basis for calculation.
Ihe government report OF the year
average, given each year on July |, Is
62.3. The condition for 1907, on that
date, WAS A per cent, July J, 1908,
$40 per cent. This year the pros
poets are that there will be larger
apple crop than that OF 1907, or than
that OF 1908. This will not be true in
the northwest, but it will be true in
most other apple growing regions.
The only sections that fall below
the crop of last year are Washington,
Idaho, Oregon aud Utah. These
states will have 100000 bearing
trees. Not having 80 large a number
of bearing trees as any one OF the
STATES of Missouri, New York, Penn.
sylvania, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan,
Kentucky, or Virginia, they will not
seriously Affect the general apple
market. The reason they will Ee
missed In the market Is because they
furnish the best apples of the world,
and the fancy markets will miss
them.
DIR. Lowther also points out that,
being we'll employed, laborers
throughout the country will eat more
trnit than last year, because it will
be on the market at cheaper prices
However, this will not seriously aztec
the market for Pacific northwest fruit,
because, while they eat good fruit, it
is not the fancy box fruit. On the
other hand, capital is making good
profits and will give this section a
good market at high prices for its
fancy fruit.
Ihe article concludes as follows:
"Our conclusion il that prices will
be high, but not so high as the half
crop in other apple growing sections
where there was comparative failure
last year. aside from the fancy box
fruit. Missouri and New York about
control the market.

Snake common in Hood River.

The report from Portland to the
effect that new species OF snake has
been found there which has stinger
in its tail, hes caused good deal Of
comment over the state, and no one

Prather says that the snake is one
which used to te commonly seen here
along Indian Creek, and last week be
killed one on his place two miles west
of fuckers bridge. He asys that the
snake was call ed the double headed
snake, as it appeared to have two
heads, or rather what would seem to
he the tail has a small head shaped
button, with an opening in it which
might be taken for a mouth or q
sheath for a stingeI. The snake IL

from twelve TO eighteen inches In

COASTS BIG PETITION
HITS AT BALLINGER

SAN FRANCISCO, aug. IA mon
ster petition to be circulated in San
Francisco. Oakland, and adjacent bay
cities viii be forwarded to President
Taft requesting the Government 10
grant reservoir rights to the Federal
holdings on the .7uolomne watershed for
the projected municipal water supply
for this city
The aim of its promoters is to make
It the greatest petition that ever has
been presented to the President of the
United States.
The petition is in the nature Of re-
cital OF the privileges granted by Sec
rotary Garfield, upon which the city
proceeded to acquire lands and expended
moneys for surveys, and the act Of
Secretary Baninger in refusing to allow
the construction of the dam on the
Government lands, which they say is a
revolution of the concession granted
by his predecessor and completely pre-
cludes San Francisco from securing a
water supply sufficient for its needs.
The petition shows that in granting
such concessioE the Government prop
erty is not injured, but, on the contrary,
benefited by the construction thereon
of the reservoir. It is expected the pc
tition VIII be rushed to Washington
within month.
