It's just at this time Of the year that
we need something taken from Nature
to restore the vital forces.
People get sick because they go away
from Nature, and the only way to get
well is to go back. Something grows out
Of the ground in the form of vegetation
TO cure almost every ILL., Some Of these
vegetable growths are understood by
man, and some are not Animals, it
would seem, know what to do when
they are sick better than men and
women. Observers have noted that a
sick horse, dog or cat will stop eating
food and seek out some vegetable growth
in the field or yard, which, when found
and eaten, often restores appetite and
health. Haven't you seen these animals
do this very thing yourself?

when your intestines arc stopped up,
poisons and decayed matter are i'm
prisoned in our system and these are
carried by the blood through your

get dissy, you can't sleep, your skin
may break out, your appetite declines
you get tired and despondent. As .
matter Of fact, you may get sick all over.
Don't you see how useless all this suffer-
ing is? All that is often needed is dose
of castor oil, or something which is more
pleasant, a few Of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets, which he has placed in all drug

Try them by all means. They are proba-

interfere materially with farm work
which went steadily forward. In some
of the higher valleys where the snow
is just disappearing and in some of
the northern counties where rains have
been more abundant, farm work is a
little backward.
WHEAT DOING FINE

ground in the higher valleys clears of
snow and dries out this work advances
from the lower and earlier valleys into
the later districts of the eastern and
northern counties. In the early sown
fields wheat is growing nicely, being
favored by temperature and soil mois-
ture conditions. Conditions are equally
favorable for winter wheat which is
coming along in excellent shape in
most localities.
Reports from Kootenai county in
dictate that some fields are being dam
aged by wire worms. Large acreage
of oats is being sown in Benewah

JACK COOMBS TRADES
OESCHGER TO G|AN rs
Phils' Pilot Lands Pitcher
George Smith in Deal
With McGraW
MEET CARDS HERE TODAY

Manager Jack Coombs engineered an
other deal on Saturday, but reserved
the announcement of the trade until
last night, when he gave out the III
formation that Joe Oeschgcr, speed
king. had been traded to the Now York
Giants for George Smith. pitcher.
Joe Oeschger joined the Phils in 1913,
coming on the recommendation of
Catcher Eddie Burns. He was farmcd
out to Providence, of the International
League, where he twirled winning ball
during 1914 and 1915. He was recalled
by Pat Moran and was a regular during
1916, II, rs. He looked good for
another fine season this year, but the
reason for the trade as yet has not beer
given out.
According to Manager Coombs, there
was no cash transaction in the deal.
He apparently believed that Oeschgcr
would not show his old form and
doubtless sees promise in Smith
Smith got his baseball start with
Columbia University. where he was dis
covered by McGraw. He is right
handler and stands six feet two inches.
He was sent to Cincinnati last summer
by Mctiraw to help Christy Mathew
son. Later he came to BroOkIyn and
subsequently returned to McGraw.
Oeschger won six and lost eighteen
games last year. - His most notable cx
plot this season was engaging in that
twenty inning SIS game with Brooklyn
at the Phils's park few weeks ago.
