' LABOR'S FIGHT TAKEN UP Radicals Secure Adoption of Motion After Forensic Contest One Board of Control Asked for Educational Institutions. M'MINNVILXJS. Or., May 14. (Special.) The closing day of the State Grange session was marked by a rush of reports from the standing; committees, which covered the work . far into the night. Heated debate was indulged in when the report of the committee, on education brought up the normal school question and recommended district training schools in connection with high schools for the nor-f mal courses. In Its report the committee made net recommendation in regard to one or rrfore central normals, and the debate be- came general as to whether the Grange i should make recommendation 'for or1 against either plan. It was finally de cided to Indorse the district plan as a preparatory course for one central nor mal, to he situated In the Willamette Valley, the, teacher of the district class to be a normal graduate.. Professor Alderman, of EuR-ene, made an address in which he advocated the mileage system upon taxes for support of the normal school. His Idea was In dorsed. The committee on co-operation stirred up a hornet's nest when it recommended a co-operative connection between the Grange and the labor unions on all mat tens common to both legislation and busi ness matters. Much to the regret of many members of the Grange, the radi cals were in a majority and adopted the recommendation. The committee also advocated a co operation between the Agricultural Col lege and the State University, which many believe to be an indorsement of a single board of Control. The committee denied any such intention, but the reso lution will allow of such an inference, and it is known that many persons are In favor of a single board for both in stitutions. The recommendation was approved by the Grange. The committee on Agricultural College recommended ample appropriations by the state for the institution. The Grange Is committed to assist the col lege In every legitimate manner, and Its members are Instructed to defeat the proposed referendum upon the last state appropriation. If possible. Oregon City was selected as the next meeting place of the State Grange over Corvallle, by a close vote. DEATH MYSTERY UNSOLVED Woman's Body Found at Burnaby Shows Kvidence of Murder.

CASE SEEMED HOPELESS BUT CUTICURA CURED HER "Words cannot describe the terrible eczema I suffered with. It broke out on my head and kept spreading until it covered my whole body. I was almost a solid mass of sores from head to foot. I looked more like a piece of raw beef than a human being. The pain and agony I endured seemed more than I could bear. Blood and pus oozed from the great sore on my scalp, ft om under my finger nails, and nearly all over my body. My ears were so crusted and swollen I was afraid they would break off. Every hair in my head fell out. I could not sit down, for my clothes would stick to the raw and bleeding flesh, making me cry out from the pain. My family doctor did all he could, but I got worse and worse. My condition was awful. I did not think I could live, and wanted death to oome and end my frightful sufferings. " In this condition my mother-in-law begged me to try the Cuticura Rem edies. I said I would, but had no hope of recovery. But oh, what blessed re lief I experienced after applying Cuti cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding and itching flesh and brought me the first real sleep I had had in weeks. It was as grateful as ice to a burning tongue. I would bathe with warm water and Cuticura Soap, then apply the Ointment freely. I also took Cuti cura Resolvent for the blood. In a short time the sores stopped running, the flesh began to heal, and I knew I was to get well again. Then the hair on my head began to grow, and in a short time I was completely cured. I cannot praise Cuticura enough. I wish I could tell everybody who has eczema to use Cuticura. My condition was so terrible that what cured me cannot fail to cure anybody of this awful disease. If any one doubts the truth of this letter, tell them to write to me. Mrs. Win. Hunt, 135 Thomas St., Newark, N. J., Sept. 28, 1908." Cntleam RoT.
