Handsome presents, adorning Oregon City homes, will argue con clusively that it is unnecessary to en dare the jam and bustle of the metropolis inosder to secure desirable presents. Following the success of this season oar business houses may oonnt on an unprecedented Holiday trade next year. We are just coming to a realization of the fact that shoppers nook to Portland largely beoause they are un able to proourn here the variety and quality of goods desire.i. In as far hb our oierchautB met this requirement they held the Holdiay trade. A com plete stock, right prices and sufficient publicity will hold the business at the most convenient point. Considering the damage the average automobile can do on plain pasolinr, think what a harvest the hospitals will reap after the lirst of the year when they begin to tank up on free alcohol. Pror.

The bride was beautifully gowned in white and the ceremony was perform ed under an elaborate bower of Ore gon Grape and Holly. The maid .of honor was Miss Nora Berdine. a sister of the groom, and the best man was Mr. Harry Pollock.

Dr. Mlnthorn's Sanitary Baths will be in operation daring the entire winter, and treatments will be given daily. Other Health Resorts Closed. Duringthe winter .nearly all other health resorts are closed or difficolt to reach, and none of them hare the ad vantages of Newport and vicinity as regards climate, points of interest, re creation, and amusement.

It Will Hardlr Prove Profitable to Manufacture It on the Farm. Now that the denatured alcohol bill has become a law and will take effect Jan. 1, 1907, the question will doubt less be r Used among farmers If it will be posri'j'.c for them to manufacture alcohol from their various farm prod ucts in individual distilleries upon the farm. They have been led to suppose, and rightly, that denatured alcohol can be manufacture.! from many farm products, and therefore it will create new market for their products. Professor II. W. Wiley, chemist of the department of tigriculture, says that it will hardly prove profitable to undertake to manufacture alcohol in a small wny upon the farm. No dif ference how small Hie quantity of al cohol may bo, It canr.ot be manufac tured except under the supervision of a revenue offlcl.il, and the manufac turer must pay the salary and ex penses of thi.-i official; at least it Is likely that ha ill be required to do so under the rcrul.itlons. Thus in the fu ture the m:;iuuoture of alcohol, as at the present, will probably be conducted In lar i? establishments. The principle involved Is exactly the same as that employed in the manufacture of beet sugar, which, it Is found, is imprac ticable In a small way. Central fac tories are necessary for the success of the sugar Industry, and central distil leries will be necessary in the alcohol Industry. We are Inclined to believe that this advice is timely and important, for the successful manufacturer of alcohol re quires a thorough knowledge of the chemistry of the process and a high degree of technical skill, and no doubt Professor Wiley Is correct insaylng that fhe successful practice of the fu ture will consist of the establishment of a central distillery in a good local ity accessible to farmers. In these dis tilleries alcohol can be most econom ically made from the raw materials which the farmers furnish. . Secretary Wilson looks with much encouragement upon the benefits which the farmers are likely to reap from the sale of products to these distilleries. Some of the figures which he gives as his estimate on the producing power of certain crops are quite beyond one's comprehension. Figuring the corn crop on the basis of fifty bushels of corn to the acre, he 6iiys there would be ap proximately ten tons of stalks to the acre. Corn which if JlUiize'd 'when' sufficiently rltje. -would yield 2,400 JC'thiuJ vof""iermentable matter would produce 170 gallons of commercial al cohol. While fifty bushels is more than the average yield per acre at the present time, yet this yield could be largely Increased In the west on the heavier corn lands, and when the vast acreage of corn in the United States Is considered-and it Is approx imately 100,000,000 acres it can read ily be seen that the amount of com mercial alcohol produced from the av erage of ten tons of stalks per acre would be quite -Incomprehensible. Potatoes also would yield a very large product and the potato crop would be vastly larger than at the pres ent time, from the fact that potatoes for alcohol need not be of the best quality or finest flavor; in fact, many thousand bushels that now virtually go to waste could be utilized, and yet, he says, from the present 'acreage the average yield of potatoes should give 255 gallons of commercial alcohol per acre, and he believes the amount would be doubled by the planting of more productive varieties without tak ing into consideration theft quality. Testimony For the Grange. Miss Martha Van Rensselaer of Itha ca, N. Y., is supervisor of the farm ers' wives reading courses of Cornell Agricultural college. She pays this high compliment to the grange in con nection with the work of the common schools. She says: "I do not know of anybody that is doing any more than Is the grange. I do not know of any organization that Is as progressive along educational lines and subjects of the day as the grange. It means not only the farmers, but it means the farmers' wives, and I am glad to see here especially that it means the farm ers' children. It la not simply the farm er who Is keeping pace with the thought of the day as respects his work, but the farmer's wife is keeping up with her work, and the children are being educated for life work." What the Grange Doe. The grange seeks the greatest good of all. The grange passed the experimental stage over twenty years ago. The grange has fought great fights and now wants to share the victories with you. The grange develops brotherly feel ing and good will among farmers. A usable knowledge of parliamentary rules, tactics and practices Is one of the things the grange is able to furnish every member. These Note Are Good. Grange national bank notes are now Circulating around two centers in Penn sylvania, and the Tatrons of two more counties, Huntington and Clearfield, are securmg stocK suDscnptions xor grange banks In their counties. Only members of the Ordqr are eligible to office In these grange banks.

I think I have done so. "One of the things I have found out to my entire satisfaction is the proper thing for aliments that are due directly to the effects of the climate. For 117 years I have withstood the changeable Climate of the United States. "I have always been a very healthy man, but, of course, subject to the af fections which are due to sudden changes In the climate and tempora ture. During my long life I have known a great many remedies for coughs, colds and diarrhoea. v "As for Dr. Hart man's remedy, Peruna, I have found it to be the best, if not the only, reliable rem edy for, these affections. It has been my standby for many years, and I attribute my good health and extreme old age to this remedy. . "It exactly meets all my require ments. It protects me from the evil ef fects of sudden changes; it keeps me in good appetite; it gives me strength; it keeps my blood in good circulation. I have come to rely upon It almost en tirely for the many little things for which I need medicine. "When epidemics of la grippe first began to make their appearance in this country I was a sufferer from this disease. "I had several long sieges with the grip. At first I did not know that Peruna was a remedy tor this disease. When I heard that la grippe was epidemic catarrh, I tried Peruna for la grippe and found It to be Just the thing. " In a later letter, Mr. Brock writes ; "I am well and feeling as well as I have for years. The only thing that bothers me is my sight. If I could see better I could walk all over the farm, and it would do me good. I would not he without Peruna." , Yours truly, When old age comes, It brings with it catarrhal diseases. Systemic catarrh is almost universal in old people. This explains why Peruna has become so indispensable to many old people. A Miraculous Cure. The following statement by H. M.
