GREAT SPORT AHEAD.

Al the time this paper went IN nras.

that was exceedingly short notice sos

Immediately after the paper was -

changed to the following SATURDAY ana

definitely settled that the contendin o

Allenby nine, Penticton. Keremeos

ithese clubs are in a class above ,ha
average amateur aggregation and II
Is safe to promise a series OF contests
that will be full of interest and excite
ment. Oroville has raised the funds IN

or size that will fully recompense
the winners for coming. II the weather
is favorable, and every sign points TO
perfect weather at this time II is an
lticipated that there will be the largest
crowd present that has ever witnessed
ball games in the county. Large dele
cations can be expected from the
British Columbia towns, where great
interest has been aroused in base ball
and the towns of the valley will send
large contingents to help swell the
crowd. Purses will not be confined to
club performance. as plans are formu-
lating to give prizes to individual play
ers who may excell in certain points
in the game. The tournament Will
make a grand ending to the ball season
which practically closed in the valley
! in July.

EXCESSIVE MOISTURE.

One OF the heaviest rains that has
visited this valley for a long time fell
last Thursday and Thursday night.
over an inch of rain fell in "a hours.
Had this rain fallen during the latter
part of June ii would have been worth
two million dollars to this county.
Paradoxical as II may sound. this rain
was both fortunate and disastrous to
the county. II has put the ground in
excellent condition for fall plowing
and seeding. but on the other hand
there was large amount of the third
cutting of alfalfa down and that hay Is
ruined. II is no exaggeration TO say
that between $4,000 and $4,000 worth
of hay was spoiled In the valley, and
the total loss may run considerably
over those figures.

BUILDING A BUG.

DR.. Elmer has had his six passenger
car cut down to a bug, or more prop
erly speaking it is being cut down to
the proportion and style known in
auto circles as an insect of the bug
variety. This is light, rakish ve-
hicle, with a capacity of two passen-
gers, and usually has a hellish incli-
nation to burn the wind, or the incli-
nation rests somewhere, for as a rule
the bug in motion represents a streak.
The TRANSPORTATION of an automo-
bile to the dimensions and general
'ensemble of bug is being worked ou:
by Ray Rayburn, ana the young man
is demonstrating that he is an artist
in this line of work. The buzz wagon is
being put together in Reds garage, and
Mr.. Rayburn has done the metal and
wood work and the upholstering. 1,
will be a most creditable job when fin.
|ished.

BETTER HEALTH FOR
OKANOGAN COUNTY.

Public health is based on personal
hygiene. A healthy community in the
last analysis. consists of healthy in
|dividuals. Fundamentally the task of
making community healthy Is in
|arousing that community to believe
that health should be it's first consid-
|el alton and that observing the laws of
sanitation any hygiene is the only road
to the attaining of health.
The physicians and the visiting
tuberculosis nurse can do little SER
vice in community, without the CO.
Operation of every man, woman and
child. The idea that anti-spitting and
|other good health laws applies only
to the sick, is grave mistake; the
healthy must conform to the same
rules, for the protection of the sick,
las vice versa.
To reduce infection without ade-
|Quate respect to the laws of Santa
|tion and hygiene by the we'll, is an i'm
possibility anywhere. The old saying,
|"What is sauce for the goose Is sauce
flor the gander" applies. Cleanliness,
fresh air, good food, sunshine, and
rest are as necessary for the we'll
being of the healthy as for the sick.
Prevention is better than cure" and
far easier, hence the quicker the nor
'mal in community make use of these
benefits, the quicker we shall see the
sick making use of the same blessings.
The public health worker has a two
fold responsibility, that of making life
and it's health laws agreeable to the
victim of disease as well as protecting
the public fl ON this same victim.
Labelling man dangerous" is a
great incentive to drive him to law
lessness or at least to disregard of
those things especially good and use
full to him.
Let us all bear in mind that the
health regulations that are good for
the other fellow are equally as good
for our nearest and dearest friend; If
any of us fail in practicing the laws of
health there will be weak link in the
chain-result-a break, the break Of
ten comes very near home. While we
are very emphatic in our convictions
of where tubercular neighbor should
be placed or what he should do, let us
not be forgetful Of equally weighty
matters of the law belonging to our
selves, how we should eat, sleep, rest,
|exercise, play and work, also that in
discriminate splitting by anyone is pro-
hibited. Let US protect the consump-
tive from other dangerous spitters
who may give him tonsilities, flu,
idiphtheria and other evils.
When we are all doing our part to
reduce mortality and morbidity, our
homes will be in pleasant places and
our towns will be free from communi-
cable diseases.

NEEDS FIXING.

Much complaint reaches this office
regarding the condition of the road be-
tween Oroville and Nelson. Unfortu-
nately owing to the heavy wash outs
last spring 1t was necessary to spend
la very large sum of money on that
road where it enters into the valley,
thus greatly depicting the road funds
of that district, so that there is little
ready cash available for work on that
road. Still something ought to be done
as a matter of protection against. fu-
ture damage from washouts. A few
dollars spent in the way of preventa-
tive may save a large sum to repair
damages that could have been pre-
vented by the construction of culverts
at points where a flow of water is to
be expected after a thaw or a rain.
This Oroville-Molson road Is more gen.
orally travelled than any road in the
county excepting, perhaps. the main
artery of travel up and down the val
Hey.

STOMACH UPSET?
Get at the Real Cause--Take
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead of
taking tonics, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment - clogged
liver and disordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets arouse
the liver in a soothing, healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per-
forming their natural functions, away
goes Indigestion and stomach troubles.
If you have a bad taste in your
mouth; tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or
energy, troubled with undigested foods,
you should take Olive Tablets, the
substitute for calomel.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without
gripping, cramps or pain.
Take one or two at bedtime for quick
relief, SO you can eat what you like.
