MR.. APPLE GROWER

Don't place your order for a grading
machine until you have seen the 1918
model CUTLER. A new sorting table
is used, which will reduce your cost of
sorting by 40 or so per cent The fruit
is moved across in front of the sorters
and is revovled slowly SO that the sort
er can easily see any defects and only
picks out the culls and lower grades.
The predominant grade passes auto
matically into the grader without any
handling by the sorter, and it is this
fact which results in the maximum
output per sorter with minimum cost
per box.
Don't buy machine just because its
first cost is low. It's very easy to
drop 500 in wages by using an ineffic-
ent grader. CUTLER GRADERS pay
for themselves in short time.
We will have a demonstration in
Hood River in the near future, notice
of which will be, given in the papres.

The Kind That Hood River People
Cannot Deny

Many an earnest Hood River man OF
woman has publicly endorsed Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Week after week, month after month,
you've read their statements.
Would these Hood River people rec
ommend any medicine if il were not
good?
Would they confirm and repeat their
statements after years had passed.
Local proof is good evidence.
Testimony confirmed years after is
beIter evidence.
The following Hood River woman's
statement leaves no room for doubt.
1t must convince every kidney suffer
er who reads it.
If your back aches-if your kidneys
are weak, profit by the experience OF
Mrs. n. A. Monroe OF sli Cascade Ave.
She says: "My back and kidneys both
cred me and made me feel run down and
miserable. Doan's Kidney Pills helped
me greatly, soon restoring me to my
usual health"
Still Uses Doan's
Over three wears later Mrs. Monroe
said: II still hold the same high opin-
ion OF Doan's Kidney Pills, as have in
the past and | gladly confirm my pre-
vious recommendation. | know they
are very reliable. Whenever it is neees-
sary to take a kidney medicine use
Doan's Kidney Pills and they always do
me good. "
Mrs. Monroe is only one OF many
Hood River people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. Ii your
back aches--if your kidneys bother you,
don't simply ASK for kidney remedy
ask distinctly for DOAN'S KIDNEY
PILLS, the same that Mrs. Monroe

Street Car Shortage
Cause of Overlooking
3. R. T. Official Says 6 or 2
Have Been Withdrawn
From Some Lines

Ii developed at tho hearing ycstcr-
day Of the Public Service Commission
upon the order requiring the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit Company to add 250 cars
to its surface lines that the company
had been withdrawing cars from opcr-
alton during 1917, notwithstanding
that traffic was being handled on a
basis Of 10 per cent overload during
rush hours.
Charles Drew, superintendent Of
time tables Of the company, 80 testi
tied. He stated that on the Flatbush
Seventh Avenue Line, for example. the
record showed IS per cent overload
during rush hours, but this was due to
the fact that the line was being oper-
atcd on schedule Of less than twen-
ty-slN cars, the figures showing that
the service was six or seven cars short
every day.
This condition, the witness said. was
not due to an increase of passenger
traffic on this line, but to the inability
of the company to hire sufficient
number of men to operate the full SER
vice. He testified that on most Of the
other surface lines the overload fig
urcs were about the same The hear
ing will be continued Friday at 10

pleaded that they be permitted to pur-
chase even Il small quantity.
Most of the would-bc buyers clam
orcd in vain, however, for they were
pushed back by policemen and forced
to stand at a distance while wagons
from hospitals and charitable institu-

away most of the sugar. All day barrel

Upton Commander
Defends His Camp
General johnson Answers
Charges Made by Repre-
sentative Francis

CAMP UPTON, Long Island. Jan. 90.
A statement in reply to the charges
concerning conditions in this canton
mcnt made before the House of Rep
rcscntativcs on Friday by Congressman
Francis was issued to-day by General
Johnson, the division commander.
Mr.. Francis, who was here two DAYS
last week. declared that he found 1000
horses, but no haltcrs; an ample sup
ply of horscshocs, but no nails, the
shoes tied on the horses; only thirty
horses and ten saddles for 500 mill
ltary police; no guns for the field artil-
lcry; paper shoes, and a lack of
drainage that made the roads to camp
impossible.
81 received personal letter from
Mr. Francis after his departure from
camp i'll which he expressed to me his
satisfaction with the conditions in this
commando General johnson said
'Ihc allegation that there are nc
guns for the field artillery is no: a
tact. While the field artillery has not
been fully equipped, there are guns
which arc daily being used in training
the commands.
"Ihc shoes are generally excellent.
We have an ample supply Of horses
and enough shoes, nails and facilities
oi every kind to keep the animals shod
Tor weeks to come. AS to the ten
saddles, this is an absolute error.
suppose he refers to the fact that ten
saddles were requested for use Of the
military police for special patrol
mounted men. There is on the whole
good drainage, except in one or two
places, which are defective. but stems
arc being taken to remedy the defects.
The part Of the road near the old sta
tion to which Mr.. Francis refers is out
side the jurisdiction Of camp.
"Thc report of Ambassador Gerard.
which was printed in the newspapers
and which was made following that Of
Mr.. Francis, showed that the camp was
in excellent condition. as did the state
