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.

Cured Hay Fever and Summer Cold.
A. J, Nusbaum, Batesvllle, Ind., I
writes: "Last year I suffered for three J
months with a summer cold so dis
tressing that It Interfered with my
business. 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. .
