of the Umatilla river. The storm of
which he spoke occurred late in Feb
ruary, but as the snow is only now
disappearing sufficiently to permit of
travel through the mountains the full
effect is just becoming apparent.
Continuing Purdy said:
1T Is hard to. believe that such
damage could be inflicted to trees by
snow alone, but the m~ountaineers tell
me the storm was unaccompanied by
wind and that the great trees we're
broken down by the weight of the
snow alone. 1t froze to the branches
as it fell. not unlike the silver thaw'
of western oregon, but the extent Of
damage was far greater. There are
areas of considerable extent where
less than half the timber is left stand
ing. Great trees, three feet in di-
ameter and more. were snapped off
just above the base or several feet
IN the air, while others less deeply
rooted were torn up as by a cyclone.
Others are bent over into a hopeless
tangle. never to rise again. Possibly
worst of all is the mass of broken
boughs which have literally buried
the ground. making mountain trails
impossible and providing a veritable
finder boX-for future forest coDflag-
rations."
According to Purdy there is not a
passable trail left in the forest and
the rangers will have a hard task at
the opening of the season. He said
he was compelled to carry an AK with
him and then to pick his way around
the bare ridges as much as possible
Many trails are pronounced impas-
sable even to footmen.
There never has been so much snow
in the mountains at this season of
the year, according to the old settlers.
They look Upon this condition with
favor. as it means there will be plen-
ty of water in the mountains for their
stock and that the range, while pos
sibly a few weeks late, will be in
splendid condition for the late sum-
mer. The grass has been growing
Under the now and as fast as the
snow line is moved back by the pres
ent warm weather the ranchers are
following it up with their herds OF
cattle. The sheepmen will not be adj
mitted to the national forests for sew
eral weeks yet.

SCIENTIST CURES HIMSELF
WITH NEW RABIES REMEDY
Patholosist Startles Medical Men by
Discovery of Home Treatment.

observation-disclosures D.. L.
Harris, city bateriologist of st. Louis,
startled the American Association of
Psychologists in sessin here by IN
nouncing that he had discovered a
home cure for rabies and that furth-
ermore he had tried the cure on him
self and was convinced of its value.
The cure of Professor Harris con-
sists of an improvement of the Pas
teur treatment. Under that treatment
it is necessary practically to kill a
a rabbit each day in order to get the
brain for incubation purposes.
Under the system devised by Pro-
fessor Harris, through a process Of
freezing he is enabled to keep the
rabbits brain in such a state that
the virus retains its strength for 14S
days and may be carried around in a
hermietically sealed jar and used as
an injection.
Professor Harris asserts that when
he was bitten by a mad dog he eXper-
imented with himself with this frozen
cure and he found it to be successful.
Since then, h declared. he a expert
mented upon at least twenty persons
in st. Louis who had been bitten by
mad dogs and in every case the frozen
virus had the same effect as the Pas
teur treatment.

ALL YOU NEED IS A
CASCARET TONIGHT
No Sick Headache, Bilious stomach.

Bowels by Morning.

Turn the rascals out-the head
ache, the b~iliousness. the indigestion.
the sick. sour stomach and foul gases
turn them out tonight n keep
them out with C~ascarets.
Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by a lazy
liver, clogged bowels or an upset
stomach.
Don't put in another day of dis
tress. Let Cascarets cleanse and reg
ulate your stomach; remove the sour,
undigested and f~ermenting food and
that misery-making gas; take the x
cess bile from your liver and carry out
of the system all the decomposed
waste matter and poison in the intes-
tines and novels. Then you will feel
great.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep. A 10-cent box
from any drug store mean a clear
head and cheerfulness for months.
Children love to take Cascarets be-
cause they taste good-never grippe or
sicken.

SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEh THE HAIR

There Is nothing new about the idea
of using sage for restoring the color
of the hair. Our Observation-Disclosures
kept their locks soft. dark n glossy
by using a ''sage tea" Whenever
their hair fell out or too on a dull,
faded or streaked appearance they
made a brew of sage leaves and APP
piled IL to their hair, with wonderful
~ beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to old-time, tiresome methods of gath
ering the herbs and making the tea.
This is done by skillful chemists bet
ter than we could do 1t ourselves, and
all we have to do Is to call for the
ready-made product, Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy, contain
ing sage in the proper strength. with
the addition of sulphur, another 4
time scalp remedy,
The manufacturers Of his remedy
authorize druggists to sell 1t under
guarantee hat the money will be re-
funded if 1t fails to do exactly as rep
resented.
Don't neglect your hair. Get q
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
today, and notice the difference after
"a few days use.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle and Is

her wealthy grandmother, Mrs. Mary
Whaley, with the Rev. Jere Knode
Cooke, then pastor of st. Georges
Episcopal church of Hampstead,
where August Belmont is senior war
den, is back home for a visit with
her two babies and the unfrocked
rector.
In defiance of all conventionalities
the young woman is supremely hap
py, has been welcomed to the arms
of her grandmother and is three
times an heiress. This week she will
receive $4,000 from an uncle's estate,
next yea she will get $4,000 from
her fathers estate. and her grand
mother has assured her that she will
share equally with her sister Edna in
the S150,O00 estate of Mrs. Whaley.
Moreover the Rev. Knode Cooke
has built up a prosperous decorating
business in San Francisco, where he
took the name Of Gerald Balloon and
Won a host of friends.
The only missing link from the
young woman's chain of happiness
lies in the fact hat the man she ell
oped with is still unable to legally
father her children, never having
been divorced from the wife he alb
andoned for the pretty 1~6-year-old
girl. But "Floretta Balcom' is not
worrying over this, confident that it
will not be long before the divorce is
obtained.

SOCIETY GIRL PROVES \
SUCCESSFUL LOBBYIST
Member of Baltimore Smart Set Gets
Working Women's Bill Through the
legislature.

Annapolis.-Members Of the legis-
lature admitted hat the passage of
the ten-hour day bill for working wo-
men was largely due to the untiring
efforts of Miss Margaret Carey,
daughter of Mrs. Frances King Carey.
Miss Carey is one of the best known
members of Baltimore's younger So
cial set. having made her debut in the
season of 191O-191l.
She is a beautiful brunette and has
the ingenious manner of a young girl
in her teens" and her knowledge of
the technical points of the ten-hour
bill would do credit to a lawyer. 1t is
this knowledge, they say, coupled with
her attractive of pleading
which won the members to her cause.
Miss carey is an authority on the sub
ject. She had studied thoroughly the
decision of the United States supreme
our upholding the constitutionality
of the oregon law, limiting the work
ing day. and she argued effectively
and held the members to their prom
ises.

CHEER UP! MAYBE YOU WILL.
Drinkers Who Abuse Families should
Drown i'm Beer Vat. Saws Judge.

Philadelphia. - Magistrate Grelis
wants a new statute under which he
may punish men who drink and abuse
their families. He wants his action
to be made a capital offense, the Of
fender to be sentenced to drowning in
an immense beer vat. in which he
would have to swim until overcome
with fatigue when he would sink and
with his dying breath create a bubble
of beer. At all events this is what the
magistrate announced this morning
when he heard the case of Joseph
Harrington. who drove his wife and
seven children into the street.
