DOCTORS MAKE A
GRAND FREE OFFER
Specialists Solicit One or Two
Bad Cases From Each
Neighborhood.

Free examination. free consultation
and free treatment until you are en-
tireiy we'll. Such is the generous offer
patients accepting their treatment
during this month. The only charge
that will be made is for the medicines
used, which must be paid cash. To
very poor patients the medicines will
be furnished free also. The object
Of the United Doctors in making this
grand free offering is to secure few
supposedly incurable cases quickly to
demonstrate the tremendous curative
powers of the wonderful new system
Of medicines as used by the United
Doctors. These specialists solicit one
or two of the most difficult cases from
each locality, in order to show what
can be done by scientific treatment,
even in the worst form of diseases.
The treatment used by the United
Doctors is non-surgical. They never
use the knife. never mutilate the body
which God built in His image. Only
the best and purest of drugs and
chemicals are used by these specialists,
their motto being that every sick per-
son is entitled to the best medicines
that are to be found in nature regard
less of cost. To obtain pure drugs they
prepare all of their medicines in their
own laboratory and every patient is
thus assured pure medicine, the
best obtainab1e regardless of cost.
The expensive and elaborate instru
ments used to diagnose and the ex-
treme care used in securing drugs and
preparing them specially for each case
make the treatment used by the
United Doctors more expensive than
ordinary treatment, yet the large
possible to place the price of treat
ment within the reach of all.
This is really very remarkable and
generous offer by these great special
lists. 1t is an offer of free treatment
until well, regardless of the length of
time. This offer is good only in cases
accepted for treatment during the next
80 days. After that, full regular fees
will be charged to all.
Consultation and examination is free
to all, but only durable cases will be
accepted for treatment. If your case
is incurable you will be told so and
not one penny of your money accept
ed. However, many cases that are in
durable by old methods can be quick
ly cured by this wonderful new treat
ment of the United Doctors.
The United Doctors institute is To-
Gated 610 Kansas avenue, where they
occupy the entire second and third
floors. Office hours are from 8 to
and to s p. m. AS stated above, ex-
animation by these master specialists
is free to all, one month only.

COOLEY SHIFTS GAMES.
Series Scheduled in Topeka Are Going
to Des Moines.

The Des Moines series scheduled to
begin Monday in Topeka has been
transferred to the Iowa capital by
Owner Cooley. The plan of transfer
originated when the last Antelope
series was switched, but Manager Hig-
gins would not agree at that time to
the terms offered by Cooley. It was
thought that If there was one series
which Boss Dick would have to play
off in Topeka it was the Des Moines
one for that town draws little better
than Topeka and there would not be
a great difference in receipts, except
that in the transfer Cooley gets all the
grandstand sales. So far there has
been no wailing among the Topeka
fans because the team is kept on the
road.
Why should it be called the Topeka
ball team anyhow?

SUCCESS MAKES FOR
LOWER ASSESSMENT

The great success which was met
with in the organization Of the Hood
River Apple Growers Fellowship will
probably result in lowering the max
imum assessment figure from 81 to 5O
cents. The large acreage represented
by the membership assured the direc-
tors that it would not be necessary to
call for the full assessment and since
that will not be necessary the board
has deemed it we'll to lower the maxi
um in order that number Of orhard-
lists who have not Joined will come in
with the assurance of lower assess
ment than 81. The board which met
Saturday afternoon to form the perma-
nent organization will call meeting
for the afternoon of July l6 OF the
members of the organization at which
time they will be asked to change the
bylaws to lower the maximum assess
ment.
At the meeting Saturday afternoon
the officers of the board were elected,
Prof. G. d. Thompson, being made
president; G. r. Castner, vice-presl-
dent and A. W. Peters, secretary and
treasurer. If the recommendation OF
the board Is adopted at the meeting OF
the members then Prof. Thompson and
Mr.. Peters will make thorough can
vass of the valley in an effort to secure
as members every Orchardist in the
Hood River valley. If the movement
is TO be successful with the lower
assessment, according to Secretary
Peters, it will be necessary to secure
practically the entire orchard acreage
Of the valley. A special meeting OF
the members of the board was held in
the University Club rooms Monday
evening during which considerable in
formal discussion took place in regard
to the securing of the expert to con-
duct the work of the relations between
the Fellowship and the Oregon Agri-
cultural College and Experiment sta
ton at Corvallis.

VANCOUVER MEN
SPOIL CHANCE

White Salmon was the victor in the
next to the last game of the Columbia
River league there Sunday and the
score | to in their favor spoiled the
chances Hood River had of winning
the pennant. White Salmon is again
at the head of the league and since
The Dalles lost to Goldendale Sunday,
the town up the river will have to win
the final game from Hood River
Sunday to tie for first position. II
Hood River braces up and wins the
locals will then be tied for second
place. The teams were very evenly
matched in the game at White Salmon
Sunday and the opponents were
strengthened by seven men from Van
couver, while the locals had only four
imported artists.
Baker, who has been pitching for The
Dalles twirled the Goldendale team to
victory over his former team mates
Sunday by a score of to /. There
only remains one postponed game to
be played in the league and that will
be between Hood River and The Dalles
Sunday. If The Dalles wins they will
probably arrange game with White
Salmon for Monday the Fourth to play
for the championship and if they lose
the game will be between Hood River
and The Dales as a part of the Fourth
Of July celebration to decide which
team gets second place.
Hood River played in hard luck in
the game Sunday when they were shut
out Twice the home boys were able
to get man on third base, but he was
not able to get any further, Capt.
Grandpa Castner was the strong bats
man for the boys from here, getting
three out of the four hits off Troeh
while Shea was credited with two
Dagger in the second inning. The
Washingtonians touched up Lake for
three singles and two bagger, but by
running three of their hits in the fift h
inning they managed to put a man
across the plate during that session.
Each pitcher walked two men while
each team was credited with double
play. Lake struck out six men while
the man from Vancouver had eight OF
the locals tanning the air.
