Catarrh Cannot be Cured
with Local Applications, as they can
not reach the seat of the disease, Ca-
tarrh is a blood or constitutional dis-
__
ease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts di­
rectly on the blood and mucous sur­
faces. It was prescribed by one of the
best physicians in this country for
years and is a regular prescription. It
is composed of the best tonics known,
combined with the best blood purifiers,
acting directly on the mucous surfaces.
The perfect combination of the two in­
gredients is what produces such won­
derful results in curing Catarrh. Send

Corvallis, Ore., May 21—That the
peach crop in the Willamette Valley
has been almost wholly destroyed by a
combination of eold weather and fruit
pests is the opinion of Prof. H. S.
Jackson of the entomology department
of the Oregon Agricultural College.
When interviewed recentlv on the
subject he said:
“Peach growers are having trouble
from two causes, peach leaf curl and
California peach blight. This is an
exceptionally bad year for the leaf curl.
At the present time nothing can be
done for this disease except a cutting
back of the branches. Growers should
make a regular practice of spraying
their peaches in the spring with Bor­
deaux mixture.
The California peach blight .attacks
the branches, causing small cankers
and copious gumming. For this dis­
ease orchardists should spray at once
with the mixture known as self-boiled
lime of sulphur. This mixture is de­
scribed in circulars which may be ob­

If you are a housewife you cannot reason­
ably hope to be healthy or beautiful by wash­
ing disnes, sweeping and doing housework
all day, and crawling into bed dead tired at
night. You must get out into the open air
and sunlight. If you do this every day and
keep your stomach and bowels in good order
by taking Chamberlain's Tablets when need­
ed, you should become both healthy and

New Type of Oil.
i
The oil from the large well recently
drilled by the Myles Mineral Co. at
Pine Prarie, La., is remarkable,’ ac­
cording to an analysis made by the
United States Geological Susvey, in
ihat it contains no asphalt, gasoline,
or paraffin wax. The crude product
contains a very largi
large . percentage of
illuminating oil. In composition the
oil stands about halfway between, the
oil of the Gulf field and that of the
Caddo field.
The well has been connected with
pipe lines and loading rack on the
Rock Island Railroad, from which
shipments are now being made. Eight
other well are in process of drilling.

The production of coal in Montana in
1911, according to Edward W. Parker,
in a statement just issued by the
(J. S. Geological Survey, was 2,975,-
358 short tons, with a value of $5,339,-
058. The figures show an increase
over the production for the previous
year, which was 2,920,970 short tons,
valued at 15,329,322.
Montana’s coal production has in­
creased steadily duiing the iast three
years, the gains being due chiefly to
the developments in the Bull Mountain
field, which was opend in 1908 after
the construction of the Chicago, Mil­
waukee & Puget Sound Railway
through it. In its increased produc

And why are not the newspapers of
New York and Southampton partially
responsible for that Titanic horror?
We mean the newspapers that were in
close touch with the conditions of
ocean traffic and accept the advertising
that promotes such traffic.
Every div steamers were leaving
New York or the foreigh ports with
inadequate life-saving apparatus and
the newspapers gave no warning con­
cerning the death traps. Suppose that
j ist one newspaper imd an loinced the
Jay before the Titnaic heaved her an­
chors something like this:
“The Titanic sails tomorrow, Her
passengers and crew lists total 2,510
persons. She has life-saving appara-
us for 800.”
Suppose that some similar announce­
ment were made concerning the pai -
senger ships that are leaving daily now.
The owners of the steamship lines care
for profits only, ar horrible facts
prove. Such announcements would
mean adequate l.fi guards or .o pr>f-
its. This would surely touch the only
vulnerable spot in greed. No legis­
lation would be required. Just an
honest two-line statement of facts by
newspapers whose great mission is
supposed to be presentation of facts
of interest to the public.—Ashland
