Issued yesterday a report advising; the establishment of a per manent state exhibit and Information bureau to serve aa headquarters for homeseekers coming into Portland. It Is proposed that the headquarters be located in the corner storerooms of tns Commercial Club building at Fifth and Oak. Mr. Chapman urges this as an emer gency proposition for the reason that the opportunity to secure the room in the Commercial Club building Is not likely to be available long. The cor ner, containing the valuable window display space, is now occupied by pri vate tenants, whose lease expires soon. They are endeavoring to secure an im mediate renewal of the lease and should this be done It would be Im possible for the plan to be carried out as proposed In the Immigration Com mission's report. In a large degree the carrying out of the proposition will depend upon the co-operation of the Chamber of Com merce and the railroads, but It is thought that this will be obtained. Twa Tears Cost S3S.3UO. The quarters which It Is proposed to secure afford 134 feet of window dis plsy spsca on the corner and 7400 square feet of floor space, which In cludes nearly all the ground floor of the Commercial Club building and the processing and storage rooms In the basement. The cost of such headquarters for two years Is estimated at $3s.?90 and It Is proposed to raise this fund by lolnt efforts ot the Commercial Club promotion department the Chamber of Commerce and the railroads terminal In Portland. Mr. Chapman outlines the needs for such headquarters in his report, which la part la ss follows: -s the year 115 approaches, the necessity Is becoming mors and more pressing for an Oregon stats Infor mation bureau and exhibit, conspicu ously located wher. It can .as ly be found by homeseekers who secure Information ooncernlng the re sources of Oregon. Thousands of new comers arrivs in Oregon f 4 are in need of reliable official Infor mation, fre. from any taint ot prlvat.

"In addition, at these headquarters Is -udforgS.rn Rose Festivals, convention colonist periods and other times when tourVsts and homeseekers are twjwt s Portland, thes. headquarters could be illuminated during the evening and future, given nightly. The Oregon , ex WbU at fh. Commercial Club build ng would be the .tartlng point for seeing Portland- tour, on streetcar, and In automobiles. Th. Bureau would be vir tually a visitors' headquarters. State Aid neld Probable. -If this homeseekers- bureau can be opened Jun. 1 and maintained for two years, there is no question in the Judg ment of the committee but that the State Legislature at It. ' "main" would provido for It. support and main tenance after that time. "The Chamber of Commerce at pres ent is expending a large monthly sum in similar work.

Nature Intended you ) breathe through the nostrils. Both nostrils Try first one, then the other. Every morning when you get up practice deep breathing through the nostrils. Put your nnjter on one nostril and hold it tight while you breathe through the other. Backwards and forwards, do this. At th. same time you should take Peruna. The dose on the bottle Is one tablespoonful- You had better make it three teaspoonfuls. The reason why I direct this is because I want you to take a teaspoonful of th. Peruna and as you swallow it down breath, th. fume, of It out through th. nose. Then the next teaspoonful do th. same thing, and so on until the three teaspoonful. are taken. This, however. Is after you have thoroughly cleansed your nose by deep breathing. While you are practicing the deep breathing you may snuff up the nose s little salt water. A teaspoonful to ths quart of wsrm water. But after you have thoroughly cleansed your nose then take the Peruna as abovs directed. Do not put j It off. Do It now. Do it beiore your nose gets bad.
