Jospeh G. Cannoni speaker of the house of representatives,) was flayed In a gruelling manner, and the con spicuous signs over the now empty sa loons In La Grande, were fearlessly decried in an address by. Mrs. Helen E. Harford, national organizer for the W. C. T. IT., in the M. E. church last evening. In her attack on the speaker of the house, she was not backward In blaming against "Uncle Joe" the death of the movement to have each state control shipments of liquor.. She re lated how a committee from the gen eral conference of the M. E, church at Baltimore Including ' Governor Folk and Governor Hanly, ' aside from a score of " influential men had ap proached Mr. Cannon to have the measure brought through and on the floor. Their efforts were futile. Her expose of his action in the matter was clear and truthful.,' Boor Signs Drubbed.' That the citizens should persuade the council to have the obnoxious beer signs, painted over or obliterated In some way, is the statement made by the speaker. That the signs of whis key auu utser v 11 n-n : fc4tw buildings of the business portion of tho city, are unsightly and out of place in a dry town. Is, of course, a fact, and many citizens of the city feel as did the speaker about this matter.

I had many of the eymp-j toms of hay fever, and a doctor's pre- ! scriptlon did not reach my case, and J I took several medicines which seem ed to only aggravate my case. For tunately I Insisted upon having Fo ley's Honey and Tar and It quickly cured me. My wife has since used Foley's Honey and Tar with the same success." Al T. Hill, druggist. .
