In sickness, if a certain hidden nerve
goes wrong. then the organ that this nerve
controls will also surely fail. It may be
stomach nerve, or it may have given
strength and support to the Heart or Kid
neys. It was DR. Shoop that first pointed
to this vital truth. DR.. Shops Restora-
tive " as not made to dose the Stomach or
to temporarily stimulate the Heart or
Kidneys. That old fashioned method is
all wrong. DR.. Shops Restorative goes
directly to these failing inside nerves.
The remarkable success of this prescrip-
ton demonstrates the wisdom of treating
the actual cause OF these failing organs.
And it is indeed easy to prove. A simple
five or ten days test will surely tell! Try
it once, and see. Sold by Friday Harbor

Strawberries i'm Great Demand

SbrdWUOIClcS SIICdU DClIl(bAU
According to the reports of the
big commission dealers and other
shippers the strawberry crop in
the Pacific Northwest this season
will break all previous records. It
is estimated that more than forty
carloads will be shipped to eastern
points from Seattle alone and proba-
bly, half this number if not more
from Tacoma. The season is now at
it's height and the steady demand
for eastern shipments is keeping the
local market reasonably firm, and
the indications are that the season
will prove to be most profitable
one for the growers. San Juan
county's crop this season is rather
above the average both in point of
quality and quantity and all who
are familiar with the quality of the
San Juan county fruit know what
this means. We don't have to take
back seat for any of them.
Montana, the Dakotas and Western
Canada furnish a steady market for
berries raised in the Northwest.
The Hood River and eastern Wash
ington berries capture the early
market in those sections, and the
Puget Sound berries come on for
the later months of the season. The
Seattle Chamber of Commerce will
hold strawberry festival in it's ex-
hibit rooms in July, following GUS
tom inaugurated at the King county
building at the Alaska Yukon Pa
cific Exposition last year. The. OBJ
ject is to advertise the wonders OF
the strawberry grown in the North
west. San Juan county growers
should see to it that we have some
of our best fruit there.

ADVENTURE With A BEAR.
A Fishing Trip on Which There Was
One Passenger Too Many.

Two men on hunting and fish
ing trip in the province of Ontario
had an adventure with Il bear which
is described by writer in Recrea-
ton. They were crossing lake to-
ward their camp and stored to-
ward what they thought was the
burned end of sunken log. 1t
proved, however, TO be large black
bear. He was swimming slowly, evil
IDENTIFY enjoying his cooling bath,
and in no hurry to SO ashore. They
had no weapons and made their
plans to drive the bear toward their
camp, where their guide was at
work, and when within a few hun
| dred feet of his rifle all would be
right.
a few quick strokes put our boat
between him and the edge of the
lake. We naturally supposed he
would turn aside and let us drive
him before us. We were wrong in
our supposition. He swan right up
to the canoe and strove to go past
us
"IIit him and turn him again!"
called Bill. l raised myself in the
canoe, reached out and struck him
fair and hard ON top of the head.
Unfortunately l struck too hard
and broke my paddle. The over
reach upset the canoe, and over
board went Bill and I.
When | came to the surface l
found the boat floating keel up and
but a few yards away from me !!
managed to get back to it. Bill
was holding ON to the stern. l had
hardly@ot good grasp on the
canoe before l realized that we had
a new passenger. The bear had
crawlcd up ON the floating boat
Here was nice state of affairs.
Two men, neither of them swim
mers, clinging to the end of an up
turned canoe, with a bear in the
center, apparently determined to
stay there.
'sShout for Tom and the rifle, .
suggested Bill.
There seemed nothing else to do,
and SC we shouted. Our first "Hel-
To-" disturbed the bear, and he
Rugged the canoe a little closer.
The canoe had drifted near the
headland, and Tom was ready for
US. A few more minutes and We
were rid of our unlimited guest.
As Tom brought his rife to sight
crouched as low in the water as I
could. There was a puff of smoke,
the crack of the rifle and the dull
"pesh" that told of an unerring
aim. Bruin slipped down into the
water stone dead.
In less than five minutes Bill and
l were safe ashore and, save our
wetting, none the worse for an ex-
citing adventure.

Understood A;s Al.

Baron Won Steuben was the drill
master of the Continental army at
Valley Forge. At first the men in
the ranks did not know the manual
exercise; many of the officers knew
little OF nothing Of maneuvering.
One of the latter turned out for in
spection in dressing gown. Him
mel und erdew cried the baron.
"What kind Of creature 10 this?''
Baron Won Steuben was choleric
and profane, but he understood his
art. He swore at the ragged Con-
tinentals in both German and
French, but he taught them the
value of drill and discipline. When
he had exhausted all the French
and German oaths he knew he
would roar to his aid, Come here,
Herr Hauptmann, and help me
curse these blockheads!" But he
turned the undisciplined militia
into we'll drilled troops. Never
again was the enemy able to laugh
at "Mr ,Washington's rotten regi.
ments of ragamuffins."

George Sempel's pool hall and
barber shop was burglarized Sum-
day night. An entrance to the
building was made by climbing to the
roof Of the coal shed at the back end
of the building and prying open the
attic window. A stairway leads
from the attic to the room below.
Exit was made through the back
door. which had been bolted on the
inside. The thieves got away with
quantity Of cigarette paper. candy
and chewing gum. and about SIS in
cash that had been left in the till. A
large candy pail was used to CARRY
away the plumber. No clew has been
obtained as to the guilty party or
parties. but it is supposed to be the
work of some one in the neighbor-
hood who was pretty familiar with
the plan of the building and with
the location Of the goods taken.

MAMMOTH CAVE.
The Discovery That Game From pek.

ing In creviee.
The caves of Kentucky, Of which
the Mammoth cave is the largest
and most famous, are rich in salt
peter. In 1906 DR.. Brown OF Lex
ington, KY, rode thousand miles
on horseback to communicate this
fact to the American Philosophical
society, and six OF seven years later
the information became Of great
service to the government during
the war with Great Britain. Some
time after that a narrow crevice
was found in the Mammoth cave,
opening into pit. The miners had
an idea that the place must be rich
in nitrous earth, and this opinion
led to curious discovery, which
was described by DR.. Hovey in .
paper read before the American
Geographical society.
One Of the miners, in making an
examination of the crevice, dropped
his lamp. He climbed down q little
way into the ugly black hole and
felt for his lamp with q stick. The
stick in turn slipped from his hand
and went rafting down into the
abyss.
The lamp was simple affair, but
as it could not be replaced without
a Journey Of 200 miles it's loss vas
serious matter. Accordingly a
young negro was let down by rope
to get it.
He failed to recover the lamp,
but brought back reports Of an I'M
derground temple so magnificent
that for generation the report
was not believed. Then thirty
years afterward an old guide made
his way from another direction into
what is now called the Egyptian
Temple, and there, side BY eide,
found the missing lamp and stick.

Gave the Sign.

1t was during the late Spanish
American war. A wealthy merchant
who had left his business to offer
his services to his country was pac-
ing up and down on picket duty
one dark night Suddenly he de-
tected sounds of approaching foot
steps, and, quickly bringing his gun
into position, commanded in a So
norous voice, GIVE the counter
sign" The person challenged
proved to be an enlisted dry goods
clerk, formerly employed by the
merchant before the war broke out.
AS their eyes met smile played
around the corners of the clerks
mouth and he answered in low
whisper, "Cash~ Then the mer-
chant, bringing his piece to right
shoulder, let him pass and resumed
his pacing.-Detroit News-Tribune.
