OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1916.' Saved fier Life The unqualified endorsement of Fruitola and Traxo in a recent letter from Mrs. S. Grindlc, 5918 Mignonette St., Pittsburg, Pa., will be of interest to other sufferers from stomach and intestinal troubles. Mrs. Grind I e says: "The doctors had given me up, saying the only hope left was an operation. I tried Fruitola and passed hundreds of gall-stones with the first two bottles. Am now feeling better than I have for years past. I will be glad to tell any sufferer how it has helped nie, for I owe my life to it." Fruitola possesses properties that act directly upon the intes tinal parts, softening the congested waste and disintegrating the hardened particles that cause so much suffering, and expels the ac cumulation to the great relief of the patient. Traxo is a tonic alterative that acts on the liver and kidneys, stimulates the flow of gastric juices, to aid digestion and removes bile from the general circulation. It serves to build up the weakened, run-down system. For the convenience of the public, arrangements have been made to supply Fruitola and Traxo through representative drug-, gists. In Oregon City, Portland, Canby and Hubbard they can be obtained at Huntley Brothers Company's Drug stores. THE FASHIONS There is something particularly appealing to the dainty, well-groomed woman, about ribbon-trimmed, ' be f rilled petticoats; they cannot be banished for long from the wardrobe. This season the petticoat has return ed in all its old-time fluffiness, to keep our airy, bouffant frocks in counten ance. Paris sends us, of course, the dain tiest possible of linen, hand-embroidered , lace-trimmed, ribbon-banded novelties, many of them so extremely fascinating that one is tempted to wear the sheerest of organdy, chiffon or Georgette frocks in order that their beauty may be shown. Many of these petticoats aro boned, corded or wired, in order that the frocks, under which they are worn, may have the proper swing. For the dance there are net and taffeta creations, made with petal upon petal, in rose-like formation, the edges of the petaled ruffles pinked or picoted. For' the organdy afternoon frock, the slip is favored, of net and organdy, lace and ribbon-trimmed. The bodice of the slip is usually a straight, wide band of ribbon, lace or a dainty embroidery flouncing, held in place with shoulder straps -of ribbon or lace. It is not unusual to see a frilly petticoat of dark blue or red taffeta, the ruffles pinked and finished with an inset or edge of white Valen ciennes, or similar lace edge. The Underbodice The underbodice, to keep pace with the petticoat must be very dainty in deed. In a dark blue, taffeta petti coat, the skirt portion is attached at the normal waistline to a pale pink moire bodice. The bodice is merely a straight band of moire ribbon held over the shoulders by narrow pink ribbons. The1 upper edge of the bodice is effectively tfrimmed fwith, small silk rosebuds. Breakfast Coat and Petticoat One of the novelties of the season is the breakfast set consisting of coat, petticoat and boudoir cap. The coat and skirt illustrated here show a par ticularly good combination; the coat and artistic notion. The combining of several tones in the girdle, is another pretty way of introducing interesting combinations; for instance, a pale pink negligee is girdled with a wide sash, having long ends of several folds of vari-colored net or maline, in pink, blue, orchid and similar French colorings. , Bayadere Striped Skirt For sports and morning wear, the awning striped materials, linens, ducks, and canvas weaves are particu larly well liked. The stripes may run up and down, or around the figure as shown here. The skirt is fashion ed of linen, combining several of the vivid colors now modish, and is worn with a shirt blouse of voile with vest of the linen. The square neck is a be coming feature. Among the simple waist models of the summer are many with the outside peplums. These are of voile, organdy or Georgette, in pink, blue, pale green and similar shades, intended for wear with skirts of black taffeta or with white and colored wash skirts. Pongee is also favored for these outside blouses. Tiny buttons, steel, gilt or gunmetal, and a belt of black or colored ribbon are about the only trimming for these by Wetmore of Milwaukie, with 10 points. . , .. In the grammar school division Kelso was first, with 35 points, Es tacada second, with 32 and Canby 8. Individual honors in the grammar school division went to Seal of the east Clackamas school, who had 26 points to his credit. Second and third places were taken by Ponsrud of Kelso, with 25 points and Harrison third, with 7. The annual meet is one of the most important athletic events for the schools of the county and attracts not only many spectators, but school officers and teachers from all parts of the county. In the meet on Saturday County Supervisor Vedder was field judge and Superintendent Calavan was assistant. B. E. Tatro and Mr. Olson of the Oregon City high school, were starter and recording secretary respectively. Troubled at Night Painful, annoying bladder weak ness usually indicates kidney trouble and kidney trouble never should be neglected. Backache, rheumatism, sore, swollen or stilt muscles oi joints all these have been relieved by Foley Kidney Pills. They act promptly and efficiently and help to health. Henry Rudolph, Carmi, III., writes: "I was bothered with hurting in .back and was troubled at night and had to get up several times. Since taking Foley Kidney Pills I sleep all night without getting up." Jones Drug Co. Jr is developed in pongee, and the skirt is of taffeta, banded in the same taf feta, the bands edged with narrow Valenciennes lace. The deep strap pockets on the coat give it the ap pearance of., a sport garment. A charming little cap of not and ribbon completes the set most attractively Many of these sets are developed in plain materials, voile, wash satin, lawn and the like, and are trimmed with bands, collars, cuffs and pockets of the charmingly colored cretonne. A cap banded in cretonne is practical and becoming. Novel Ideas in Negligees Negligees and petticoats for the June bride are dainty and fascinat ing to a degree. The negligees are simple and most becoming. Chiffon or crepe Georgette are the materials most favored for these airy garments, destined for the bride or the woman who has time to luxuriate in their charm. Pale blue, with touches of gold or yellow; rose pink, with a touch of orchid at girdle or throat; while, with pale green, and similar combina tions selected to harmonize with eyes and hair. It is not unusual to find the negligee of chiffon, belted High and Grammar Schools Join in Athletic Moot Highest honors went to the track teams of the Estacada high school and to the Kelso grammar school in the big meet at Canby on Saturday under the direction of the Clnckamas County, School Master's club.' In the high school division, repre sented by a large number from the important high schools of the county, Estacada won 88 points, Canby took second honors with 34 points and Milwaukie was third with 20. The individual star of the meet was Wagner of the Estacada team. He was awarded the high school medal for winning the highest number of points, 15 in all. Second individual with a crush girdle of roses, or other! honors went to C. Brown, who had artificial flowers; it is 'an attractive H points, and third place was taken unless it be a second collar of a con trasting shade, Collars and cuffs are interesting de tails of blouses; the cuffs usually fit tightly about the wrist, flaring becom ingly over the hands. The open throat is of course the modish ar rangement for summer, although most of the shirtwaists and other blouses are made with the adjustable collar which may be worn high or low, as fancied. NO REASON FOR IT Show When Oregon City Citizens A Way There can be no reason why any reader of this who suffers the tortures of an aching back, the annoyance of urinary disorders, the pains and dan gers of kidney ills will fail to heed the words of a neighbor who has found relief. Read what an Oregon City woman says: Mrs. Harry Brant, 1004 Ninth St., Oregon City, says: "I had been trou bled by my back and kidneys for sev eral years. My back nearly killed me at times, it pained me so. I could hardly straighten up when I got down in a stooping position. I also had more or less trouble from my kidneys. I had heard Doun's Kidney Pills rec ommended so highly that I got a box and found them beneficial." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Brunt had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. MARSHAL AMES PRAISED Estacada Officer Arrests Man Who Looks Like Ristman Marshal A. G. Ames of Estacada on Monday arrested a stranger in that community whom he thought to be the missing chauffeur who piloted the murderer of Mrs. Helen Jennings, whose life was taken on her Washing ton county farm last week. Marshal Ames communicated with Portland officers and when they went to the Estacada jail they found a counter part of the missing Fred Ritsman. "Marshal Ames is to be congratu lated upon the capture of this sus pect," said Deputy Sheriff Bob Phil lips of Multnomah county, when he had seen the man taken into custody by the Clackamas county officer. "The man arrested bore perfect re semblance to Ristman's picture. He mumbled brokenly in what seemed to be French or German. Ristman had a knowledge of both languages. He wore a blue chambray shirt, such as Ristman wore the night he dis appeared." Thompson, who was suspected of the murder was arrested at St. Johns last Wednesday evening. He affirms his innocence and has attempted to prove an alibi. CANBY PASSES BONDS Special City Election Brings Good Vote Out , At a special election in that city on t riday the citizens of Canby voted, by large majorities, to authorize the city council to issue bonds for $18,000 for the construction or purchase of a city water works, and at the same time approved the new city charter which has been prepared by the coun cu and city attorney. The water works question carried with a vote of 178 to 58 and the new charter was adopted by a vote of 188 to 51. ' Ihe means by which the water works is to be acquired is left largely with the city council. The present system is owned by M. J. Lee and it is more than probable that this sys tem will be purchased by the alder manic body, if an agreement as to price can be made. The new charter which was adopt ed does not differ materially from that by which the city has been governed in the past. It was pre pared for the sole purpose of correct ing several mistakes which existed in the former constitution. SCHOOL MASTERS MEET Final PUPILS IN CONTEST Session of Year to be Held at Clackamas Starting with a big banquet at the dinner hour in the evening the final meeting for the year of the Clackamas School Master's club will be held at Clackamas on Saturday, at an hour selected that will not inter fere with participation in the Booster day festivities in Oregon City. the last meeting is to be an inter esting one and will be featured by the presentation of an operetta bv the pupils of the Clackamas school, un der the direction of Mrs. Criteser. This is to be the same offering as was staged recently in Oregon City. Jl. C. Seymour, state leader of industrial club work for the Oregon Agricultural college, will discuss ac-, tivities along the line of the work he is directing and will endeavor to create even a greater interest in the club movement. George F. Thomp son, member of the Clackamas school board, will deliver an address during the evening. Election Boards Bull Run, Ore., May 20. To the Editor: I should like space in your paper to ask the court some questions. I should like to know why a member of the board of election for Bull Run precinct came to my brother's house at 9:30 o'clock on May 19 and tele phoned to Mr. Aschoff, six miles away, to come and serve as clerk on the board. I know of several who regis tered as socialist that were recom mended for appointment; I do not know of one that was appointed. If that is the reason why they sent six miles away for a clerk when there was a majority of republicans on the board I am proud to register as a socialist. M. V. THOMAS. To the People of Clackamas County: I desire at this time to express my thanks and appreciation to those of you who supported me for the nomina tion of one of the representatives to Legislature from this county, in the primary on May 19th, and I hereby pledge you my word and honor as a man that if I am elected in November, that every pledge I made upon the stump during the campaign, will be faithfully lived up to and fulfilled. I know what a struggle many of the young and old people of this county are having to carry the burden of our high taxation; I know that there are a great many who can hardly stand up under this burden. I realize that I am not a boy any longer, and it is my heartfelt desire and wish to serve the people in an honorable way and to do something to relieve their pres ent burden in this regard, and I have made up my mind that if the people of this county trust me with their vote and support, and honor me with their confidence, and elect me as one of their representatives, that I will go to Salem, and make the best fight that I am capable of making along the lines of reducing taxation and abolish ing Commissions and cutting down expenses of state and county govern ment, and rid the state -of a lot of these tax eating and blood sucking commissions and many useless office holders who are of no use to the public nor to the tax payers. I am quite sure I know what the people in this county want, and I also am quite well aware that if they get what they want that it means a fight and I have no doubt in my mind that with the support of the other repre sentatives from this county and Sena tor Dimick's able assistance, that by united and harmonious efforts that we can save the people of this county and state several millions of dollars in cutting down appropriations and in repealing the laws creating the un necessary commissions above referred to. This, I certainly for one will do my best to accomplish. It does not make any difference what my enemies may say to you behind my back, this letter I am writing, this pledge I am making in full view of the public, and signing my name to it as a candidate and as a citizen of Clackamas county, and this obligation, regardless of whatever criticism may be made of me in the newspapers, publicly or behind my back, I will in the open publicly keep, if I am elected in the November elec tion, and I will produce the results that the people want, with the aid of my associates from this county. I ask my friends and my enemies as well, to keep this article and file it away, and see, in case I am elected, whether this obligation is not fully kept and performed. (Adv.) , Sincerely yours, GEO. C. BROWNELL. Big Time at Portland Portland's 1916 Rose Festival will feature Broadway, one of its leading business thoroughfares, as the grand promenade and court of honor for the 1916 Rose Festival.
