Prehn. who recently passed away in Portland, has been a resident of this city since his 21st year. He was born in Nova Scotia on May 3. 1859. At an early age ho went to Minnesota where he started as a boy the study of dentistry. Later he earned a diploma from the Philadelphia Dental College. At the age of 21 he came to Portland and began his practice here with his brother. Dr. Charles T. Prehn. He re turned three years later to Anoka, Minn., and brought his bride. Miss Myra Stimpson, back to Portland. Besides Mrs. Prehn, he leaves two sons. Carl and Edward. He is also ASK THE MAN WHO OWNS ONB The Difference Between a Cheap Truck and Cheap Hauling is a Packard Hauling is overhead, the, same as rent, light, heat and insurance a regular item in your cost of doing business. Only the total at the end of a period can tell you how much your hauling has cost you or how much it has saved you. Today's bargain may become tomorrow's repair bill. A man who never has had a motor truck may not be able to judge what truck will earn the most money over a long period. He may not know which truck, from headlight to tail-board, has the most features making for economy which will be the most efficient; which will need the least attention; which will need the fewest re pairs; which will be the easiest to care for; which has back of it the fairest service policy and the greatest responsibility. But he may be guided by the repeat orders for Packards from the buyers who do know all these points and who buy for economy first, last and all the time. Marshall Field CS, Company, of Chicago, bought its first Packard truck in 1908. That truck,' No. 802, is still young. The Field fleet now numbers 47 Packards. The Adams Express Company bought its first Packard in October, 1905. The Adams fleet now numbers 50 Packards. The American Express Company bought its first Packard in Decem ber, 1910. The American fleet now numbers 164 Packards. The latest order from the United States Government is for 28 Packards to supplement the 27 already with Funston in Mexico. There are seven sizes in the Packard truck line ranging from 1 to 6 tons all of the same advanced, econoniical design. FRANK C.

New Pore Treatment Takes Place of Pain Tablets and Internal Medicines. In the Relief of All Kinds of Aches and Pains and Is a Most Won derful Treatment for Pleurisy and Nasal Catarrh. Lake River Survey Is Included. RIDGEFIELD. Wash., April 29. (Spe cial.) Walter McClelland,- vice-president of the Ridgefield Commercial Club, has received a communication from William E. Humphrey. First Dis trict of Washington, committee on rivers and harbors, announcing that he has had a survey for Lake River in cluded in the rivers and harbors bill now under consideration. THE new treatment relieves aches and soreness wherever applied. Pleurisy, neuralgia and rheumatism are all simultaneously benefited and relieved by simply applying it over the affected parts and over the bot toms of the feet. Old-fashioned por ous plasters are of little value in the relief of deep-seated pain. They seal the pores, directly opposing the re sult they seek to accomplish. The bodily poisons must be eliminated be fore a lasting cure- is possible. Free pore action is just as essential to good health as free blood action. The New Pore Treatment Is simply magical in Its effect upon the under lying tissues. It penetrates the inflamed parts, keeps the pores lubricated and active and the trouble gradually clears up and disappears. In the more chronic cases of neuralgia or rheumatism rub It plentifully around the aching joints and over the nerve centers along the spine and let absorb. Theso spine treatments also bring quick relief in all nerve and kidney troubles. Don't fail to try the New Pore Treatment for the complexion. It takes every particle of foreign matter out of the skin and greatly improves its color and texture. Aak for Know-Doc Pore Treatment at any drug store.

Dbar Editor: I sent for a box of Dr. Pierce's Anuric Tablets for my husband, and he has been greatly benefited by them. He suffered from lame back and weak kidneys; kidney excretions being too frequent. After giving "Anuric" a trial we are convinced that it is the best kidney medicne made. Will be glad to recommend it. (Signed) MRS. E. D. MINES. Note It Is now asserted with con fidence that these painful effects due to uric acid In the system are entirely eradicated. A new remedy. called "Anuric." has been discovered by Dr. Pierce, and is the cause of a drainage outward of the uric acid with which it comes in contact within the body. It will ward off backache, headache and the darting pains and aches of articu lar or muscular rheumatism of those diseases which are caused by too much uric acid, such as gout, astma. sciatica, renal calculus. "Anuric" prolongs life because old people usually suffer from hardening and thickening of the walls of the arteries, due to the excess of uric acid in the blood and tissues. Dr. Pierce, who is director and chief physician at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute. Buffalo. N. Y., lias been testing this wonderful medicine for the relief of over-worked and weakened kidneys. The relief obtained by sufferers has been so satisfactory that he determined to place "Anuric" with the principal druggists in. town where people could get this medicine for 50c. "Anuric" is not harmful or poisonous, but aids nature in throwing off those poisons within the body which cause so much suffering, pain and misery. Scientists assert this remedy Is 37 times more potent than litbia. Adv.
