WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which is q
medicinal food and building-tonic, free
fromalcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.

EGGERS HOME is DESTROYED
But BARN ESGAPES-IOSs
is ABOUT $1,000.

Fire believed to have been started
from SCOT in the chimney yesterday
afternoon totally destroyed the honns
owned by Henry Eggers and occupied
BY his son, John Eggers, near Myrick
The younger Eggers and his wife
were in Pendleton and only the hired
man was at the ranch. When the
latter saw the fire, it had burs,
through the upper stories and had
gained great headway. From the
sudden explosion Of the flames il
was believed there must have been
an explosion Of the SCOT from COM
busion.
II was the thick layers Of snow on
the roofs Of the barn and adjoining
building that saved these structures
from destruction. Flaming pieces Of
wood from the burning house fell on
nearby roofs but were extinguishhed
as soon as they struck by the COW
eFlng of snow. There was no pos
sible chance to save the home but a
few pieces of furniture were safely
taken out.
The loss Is estimated at between
$4,000 and $1,000. part Of this beins
covered BY insurance Of s470e on the
house and about 1920 on the furni-
ture. The house had been standing
for eight or nine years and was a
large, imposing structure. Mr., Ex-
gers recently had the whole interior
remodeled at an expenditure Of sew
eral hundred dollars and most of the
furniture was new. The son has been
managing the farm.
