PROTECT YOUNG TREES

Mice and rabbits like tree bark
as we'll as children like candy,
and it requires watchfulness to
save young trees from being gir-
died by these little pests.
The rodents are kept away by
wrapping trees with wire net
ting, or even tarred building pa
per; but paper is not so sure
protection from mice. A six-inch
mound of earth we'll packed
around the base of the tree will
help to turn away mice, and II
the snow also is tramped down
around the trees the mice will
not be so likely to get at them,
because they work under the sur
face as a rule.

Died of Premature Old AGE

How many times we hear of COM
)aratively young persons passing away
When they should have lived to be 20
br 80 years of age. This fatal work IS
usually attributed to the kidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate, 1t causes
auto-int0xication. The more injurl.
Gus the pOisons passing thru the kid
neys the quicker will those noble or.
gans be degenerated, and the sooner
they decay.
1t is thus the wisest policy, to pre-
vent premature old age and promote
long life, to tighten the work of the
kidneys. This can be done by drink.
ing plenty Of pure water all day long,
and occasionally taking Anuric, double
strength, before meals. This can be
obtained at almost any drug store. You
will find Anuric more potent than lithia
for it dissOlves uric acid as water does
sugar.

In later statement Mr.. Willis said
This condition was brought about
not only by the enormous demand for
Tanlac but by the congested condition
Of the railroads.
when 1t seemed almost certain
that the threatened nationwide rail-

made arrangements to keep our prin-
clpal distributors supplied by express.
Over one thousand ($1,O0OOO) dollars

Although the big Tanlac laborato-
ries at Dayton, Ohio, have been rum
ming at top speed turning out their
tull capacity of approximately twenty
nve thousand bottles per day, we have
been wholly unable to meet the de-
mand for Tanlac which has been ere.

The wonderful growth and develop
ment of Tanlac has been the marvel of
the commercial world and the amaz-
ing success achieved by the prepara-
tons seems almost incredible.
What Dealers Say.
In only two years time over seven
and one-half million bottles have been
sold and the demand Is constantly. in
creasing. Although placed on the mar
ket In Texas and Oklahoma but few
months ago practically third of
million bottles have already been sold
and thousands have been unable to OBJ
tain 1t on account Of the inability of
the laboratory to supply it.
Dealers and jobbers have been al
most frantic because of their inabil-
ity to fill the thousands of orders they
have been receiving and the following
letters and kilograms from we'll known
firms gave ample evidence of the won

Of Russia's cabinet split.
Ukrania, Finland and Kronstadt are

gone to Ukrania and signed an agree-

This agreement was signed Saturday
when Tseschenko and Tseretelli at Kief
were in constant touch by telegraph
with the cabinet in Petrograd. The
cabinet instructed them to get Ukran-

On Sunday the two ministers returned
and the cabinet met for long session

brought out the agreement they had
signed.
There was an immediate storm in the
meeting. The Cadet members refused

the morning. Later they resigned.

the fall of former Foreign Minister

The cabinet crisis caused intense ex-

Ex-Sheif Tom Word and

WOMAN WITH BIG GUN
'FRlSKS' EX-SHEERIFF
Takes His Pocket Knife While
He and Posse Take Walk
For Home

More dramatic than the thrillers Of
the movie films was the arrest vester-
day afternoon, at the Black Eagle
Mine in the foothills of the Cascade
mountains in the eastern part of Mar
ion county, of Charles Graves and Mrs.
Ruth Abbott on a charge Of threaten
ing to kill Tom Word, ex-sheriff OF
Multnomah county, and gang of five
men, who were on their way to the
mine to cust Graves and Abbott from
/ theil claims.
A woman in ovcralls and with d
| pistol. strapped to her hip, a group Of
determined miners who would fight to
the death rather than give up their
holdings, and another group Of men
who were bluffed into turning back
after being "friskedu by this woman,
were the principals in this dramutic
episode that was one of the climaxes
of the trouble that has been brewing
in the mountains over the possession
of this mine for about four years.
1t was done in better THAI moving
picture style, declared Constable Percy
Varney and Sheriff Needham, the Of
ficers who went up to the mine and
brought back Charles Graycs and Mrs.
Abbott to occupy a cell in the county
Jail until arraigned.
The Scene Of the Play
II never saw any people who were
more willing to be arrested" said
Constable Varney today in relating
the story Of this incident.
The incidents leading up to the ar
rest yesterday afternoon started about
four years ago when Sheriff Needham,
then deputy under Sheriff Esch, at
tached and sold machinery Of the
Black Eagle Mine at sheriff's sale.
Trouble began Immediately. R. F.
Shire was the owner of the mine at
that time. The complaint against
Graves and Mrs. Abbott was filed by
II. NJ. Shire, brother, who has min
ing interests above the Black Eagle. |
R. F. Shire has a platinum mine below
the Black Eagle.
Charles Graves and others filed on
the Black Eagle claim and were work
ing it to perfect title when last Satur-
day they received word by telephone
that ex-Sheriff Word of Multnomah
and five men were coming up
the government trail to oust them from
their holdings. Word was said to repre-.
sent the Shires. The posse was heav-
lily armed.
Graves Stands Guard.
The men working the mine sent
Graves down to watch the road about
twenty-five yards below the mine.
The forest rangers came along then
and interviewed Graves, who let them
know he was looking for bunch of
men coming up from below The
rangers went on down the trail and
met the men with Word and told them
