L. Scott. I camo here to this city one year ago last October with a nervous breakdowa caused by pneumonia, which threw me into spasms. I was in about as low a condition as humanity could be in. Final ly I was advised to jo to Dr. Scott and take, a few adjust ments. At first I was not able o go to his office. He jame to my home. I took thirteen ad justments and was a new man. I soon secured a position at hard manual labor on a farm and con tinued without one break until be present time. I have felt ihe best I have for years. Cer taialy chiropratie discoveries are one of the greatest means of physical restoration. I recom mena it to all that are troubled with any nervous disorder Rev. F. A. MEADE, 918 Shipping St, Salem, Ore. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I can truthfully say what ehriropractic treatment has done for me. I was almost blind when I went to Dr. O. L. Scott for treatment for pressure on the optic nerves. Previous to my visits to Dr. Scott I had been operated on for this complaint seven times but had secured no relief. s Now I can see to read, to do my work and really enjoy life, and I owe it all to the chiroprac tic system of treatment and Dr. O. L. Scott. Mrs. Ada Bowen, Chehalis, Wash. Br. O. L. Scott, Salem, Oregon. My Dear Doctor: I want to bear this testi mony that you did me at lot of ood and if I had felt able to have taken as many more treat ments as I did I am sure that i would hav been entirely enred. As I am lots better than I was a year ago- W. N. Blodgett, ' Vancouver, Wash.

Although it may be somewhat early to blow about it and a good hard blow is given to a piece of wood to scare away the jinx yet this Fourth has not had a drunk, or a pickpocket, or an accident so far.

Considerable interest has been man ifested in finding a remedy for the persistent mole that digs in the garden and feeds off the fresh and tender veg etable's which the householder has fond ly imagined would be his. Nov comes a woman of the city of Salem and af fers a remedy that, she says, will rid a garden of the pests. She says it has been tried and not found wanting, in that the moles that used to infest her garden now infest it no more. Concentrated lye the kind that can be bought in a can at a store is the specific for the mole. First take a trowel and scrape the loose dirt away from the mouth of the hole in which the mole lives. Then in sert a table spoonful of the concentrat ed lye in the hole and await results. When the mole is ready to come to the surface of the ground preparatory to dining on luscious vegetables, the lye chokes him, or her, and causes death When dead, tho mole is harmless and may bo handled freely. The placing of the lve in the hole should be done quietly, it is cautioned. as the mole might take alarm. The wo man who gave this uitormation says that she has tried out the remedy and tinds it brings Tesults. she saw an ar ticle in the Journal asking for a spe cific for this garden evil and now gives !. j. - VI'. it ireeiy io me puune.
