JESS GARRETT AGAIN
GETS DONALD RAIDER

Don RAIDER, former Pendleton boy
who starred at third base two years
for the Buckarooes, will this year wear
Helena uniform in the Union asso-
citation and will play ball undeg the
manager with whom he signed his
first contract. Jess Garrett, who pilot
ed the local team during the first year
of the Western Tri-state, and who is
this season running affairs for Helena,
has purchased RAIDER from the Lin
coin team of the Western league.
RAIDER was sold by Pendleton in
mid-season last year to the Chicago
White Sox for $3.50. After warming
the bench in Chicago for awhile and
getting in a few games and making
few road trips, he was transferred
to the Lincoln team. There he struck
his stride again and finished the sea-
son with a batting average OF over
300 and with the reputation as the
best third sacker in the Western
league.
RAIDER refused the contract sent him
by Lincoln this year, the salary Of
s135 being less than he expected. He
stayed at Medford flirting with sever
al Of the Federal league clubs and fin
ally discouraged Lincoln into letting
him go to Garrett. He will undoubt-
edly strengthen the Helena team.

should play hockey" April 1. Some
one told Principal Elton and he called
all students into assembly, threatened
with expulsion any who refused to at
tend classes April whether or not
they brought excuses, and declared
that no jokes would be permitted.
The next day the trouble started
and it continued until yesterday when

A Doctors First
Question is
''Iiow Are Your Bowels?' A Simple
Remedy That Guarantees Good
Bowel Action.

Trace the origin of the commoner
ills of life and almost invariably you
will find that constipation was the
cause. 1t Is not to be expected that
a mass of fermented food can remain
In the system beyond its time without
vitiating the blood and affecting the
nerves and muscles. 1t congests the
entire body.
The results are colds, fevers. piles,
headaches. and nervousness, with its
accompanying Indigestion and Sleep
lessness. There is only one thing to
do, and that is to remove the trou-
BILE; and when nature seems unable
to do it, outside aid is necessary. You
will find the best of all outside aids
remedy that many thousands are
now using for this very purpose, call
ed DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin.
Many hundreds of letters are received
by DR.. Caldwell telling Of the good
results obtained. and among the en-
thusiastic letters is one from Lieut.. G.
w. Vaughan. of 62s w. North ST., De-
catur. Ill. He is 72 and has had
bad liver and stomach since he came
out of the army. He says he tried
about everything. but never succeed
ed In getting permanent relief until
he took DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
He is never without bottle in the
house. and he is never without good
health.
1t has untold advantages over pills,
salts and the various coarse cathartics
