at night would lie awake for hours.
"A friend of mine advised me to
try Tanlac. / am glad l did for it

splendid appetite and relieved me en-
tirely of indigestion. My rheuma-

greatest ease. My nerves are steady
and strong. | sleep well at night and
my health is better than in years.

WARNS EMPLOYEES AGAINST
UNSAFE INVESTMENTS

II O. Edwards, auditor OF the
Southern Pacific company, issues
word Of warning to the thousands oil
employees on the Pacific system
against putting their savings into
purely speculative ventures. This
warning was prompted by recent
dicovery. that a number OF employees
had lost Liberty Bond savings and
other "nest eggs" through the mis-
representation of artful and I'M
scrupulous promoters.
mo matter how attractive tho
proposition may seem to be on the
surface" says the Southern Pacific
financial authority, employees be-
fore investing their savings should
cosult with some responsible banke!
in their community, who will gladly
give them frank and unbiased facts,
whether they are a patron OF the
bank or not. There are many op-
portunities for sound and profitable
investments at the present time, but
there are also attempts being made
every day to defraud the public and
impose upon the credulous."

hover, the new and secondhand mer.
chant, last night when he discovered
the check he cashed to accommodate
an acquaintance OF the family was
fraudulent. The bogus check artist
had disappeared, but officials are
on his trail.
Yesterday afternoon, a young man
claiming to the name OF Dick STRAIT
ton, came into Mr.. Icenhower's store
and renewed an acquaintance with
George Icenhower, who had met the
former in the reclamation service in
klamath county. After visiting
with Mr.. Icenhower, Jr, the young
man left, to return later, and ask j.
b. lcenhower to cash a check for
$40 for him, stating he had money
in the First National Bank. Mr..
Icenhower, knowing of the young
man very kindly obliged him, even
giving him blank cheek, as Stratton
claimed he had left his check book
at his room over town. After STRAIT
ton left the store Mr.. Icenhower fol-
lowed him to the door, thinking II
he could catch him he would ask him
home to supper, as the young man
seemed alone and friendless.
Later in the evening, Mr.. Icenhow-
er begin to think It was odd that
Stratton should ask him to cash his
check instead of getting It cashed at
his boarding house, so he called up
the First National Bank, where he
found no such person carried an ac-
count with that institution. BY this
time the boy had diappeared, but Mr.
Icenhower notified the police to
wire at his expense along the line
both north and south in the hope OF
getting trace of Stratton.

SAVAGE BEASTS EXACT HUGE
TOLL IN ANIMAL SLAUGHTER

Compared with some individual
members of the mountain lion, wolf
and coyote families, Gulliyer's hun
cry giants and giantesses were light
and dainty eaters. All these animals
are classed as predatory, but a few
specimens develop exceptional skill
and cunning in killing cattle, sheep
and colts. They usually acquire equal
skill in avoiding traps, poison baits
and rifle fire, and often do thous-
ands of dollars worth of damage be-
fore they are killed.
The Bureau Of Biological survey,
United States department of agricul-
ture, keeps staff of expert hunters
in the field for the express purpose
of ridding government lands of these
four-footed outlaws, and thus assist
in relieving The rancher. A govern
ment hunter killed a mountain lion
near Roosevelt, Ariz, that had de-
stroyed so calves and colts on a
single ranch. One wolf slain by an
other. hunter in New Mexico had xii
led % calves. Another in Wyoming.
slaughtered 80 head of cattle before
one of Uncle Sans hunters shot the
criminal. A pair Of Wyoming wolves
that had learned exceptional cum
ming and cruelty ran a yearly board
bill amounting to about $4,000. Their
meal tickets were cancelled by cou-
pie of well-aimed rifle shots by a
government hunter. Two other
wolves, which showed gustatory pref
ference for mutton and young horse
flesh, in a single month killed $50
sheep and Z colts, but at the end of
a month a hunter collected their
pelts.

BENTON BOWERS WINS HARD
FOUGHT CASE AT SALEM
Chief Justice Burnett of the Supreme
Court Sustains Opinion of Circuit
COurt-Local Attorneys Represent
Defendant i'm tho Case.

The case of Mildred A. Bowers
against Benton Bowers was finally
decided by the Supreme Court of the
State of Oregon in a decision hand
ed down at Salem yesterday, sustain
ing the contentious of Mr. Bowers
attorney in every particular
AS will be remembered, this case
has been pending in the courts for
about two years. Mrs. Bowers was
denied her divorce in the Circuit
Court at the trial held in Jackson
County, and yesterday the Supreme
Court affirmed the decision Of the
Circuit Court in every particular.
In closing the opinion Chief JUS
tice Burnett states: "The learned
judge who heard the testimony had
before him the principal witness in
the case His long experience as n
jurist and his opportunity to observe
the manner of witnesses while testi-
flying are of great aid in arriving at
the conclusions of fact which we de-
duce from a reading OF the record,
and we adopt his determination of
the matter"
In another part of the opinion he
states at is enough to say on
that subject. that the Plaintiff Mrs.
Bowers) has failed to make out her
case by preponderance of the evil
dence.
Briggs & Briggs, who have been
conducting the case for Mr.. Bowers,
received the opinion in its entirety
this morning. Gus NewDerry and
Porter J.. Neff of Medford, and At
torney Rose of San Francisco rep
resented Mrs. Bowers in the contro-
versy.
