INDIGESTION'S RECORD
"The best retnedv I cnn prescribe for your Ill

I know of several other physicians who pre

Indigestion is making an awful record
as a cause of sudden deaths. It is beat

You read in the papers daily of appar
ently healthy and even robust men being
suddenly attacked with acute indigestion

dying in many cases before a -physician
could be called in.
This should be a warning to' you whc
suffer with regular or periodical attacks
of indigestion. If these unfortunate vic
tims of acute indigestion had taken a
small dose of Green's August Flower be
fore or after their meals they would- not
have fallen a prey to such sudden seizures.
August Flower prevents indigestion by
creating good. digestion. It also regulates
the liver, purifies the blood and tones up
the entire system in a natural way. t .

The Willamette Pulp & Paper com

ing paper in its new mill,-'which is lo

The new machine, which is considered
the largest and most modern of its
kind west of Chicago, will turn out
somewhere in the neighborhood of
10,000 pounds of paper a day more
than machine No. 4, which runs about
70,000 pounds a day. The machine
will employ about 100 men on the
night and day shift, who will be under
Machine Tenders Warner and Light

roll, as the men laid off on the con
struction work will practically make
up for the new that have been hired.
Now Is the Time
For pruning your fruit trees and
spraying this is the proper time. In
fact, right now is the time it should
be done. Some of our orchardists are
already at the work of pruning and
spraying as well. Get the old, decayed
moss-covered wood out of your orch
ard. It never did any good to allow it
to remain on a tree and never will. It
is a hotbed for all sorts of pests and
breeds disease to the whole tree, or
the entire orchard for. that matter.

Will Spend Much Money
It is the intention of the Portland
General Electric Company of this city,
to commence work on its 40,000 horse
power plant on the east side of the
river in this city. Within two years
the company will be prepared to fur
nish 12,000 horsepower. More than
200 men will be employed in the con

be constructed at Portland.
A Family in Need
Dee Wright, of Liberal, who was in
the city the first of the week, reports
having found another destitute Polish
family at the head of Eagle Creek.
about three miles from Elwood. The
family is that of Michael Granatzki.
The husband only recently returned
from the hospital at Portland. The
wife has not had a pair of shoes to
wear this winter, reports Mr. Wright,
who says that while assisting in the
grubbing of the property surrounding
their little home, the wife will warm
the sides of small boards at the fire
and manage to absorb the warmth by
standing on one of these boards with
her bare feet while she works with a
mattock. The family is an industri
ous one, having in two years cleared
about seven acres. Any shoes or
clothing intended for these people will
be delivered to this deserving family
by Mr. Wright if the same is left in
care of Peter Nehren at the Clacka

There have been many cases like
the following in Oregon City. These
plain, straightforward statements will
do much towards relieving the suffer
ing of thousands. Such testimony will
be read with interest by many people.
H. A. Deck, a mining engineer, of
388 Jefferson St., Portland, Ore., says:
"Judging from my own experience
Doan's Kidney Pills is a very reliable
remedy and fulfills every claim made
for it. Sometime this winter I had a
good deal of trouble with a lame and
aching back. After being in a stoop
ing position for any length of time it
was difficult for me to straighten.
When I was having a particularly se
vere, atack I saw Doan's Kidney Pills
advertise and procured a box. I had
taken them scarcely a week when I
felt relieved and before I had finished
the box I was cured."

Unqualified Success of Lydia E. PiriKham's
Vegetable Compound in Cases of Mrs. Fox
and Miss Adams.
One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is
the conquering of woman's dread
enemy. Tumor.
" So-called " wandering pains " may
come from its early stages, or the pres
ence of danger may be made manifest
by excessive monthly periods accom
panied by unusual pain extending! rom
the abdomen through the groin and
thighs.
If you have mysterious pains, if there
are indications of inflammation, ulcera
tion or displacement, don't wait for
time to confirm your fears and go
through the horrors of a hospital opera
tion; secure Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound at once and beg-in
its use and write Mrs. Pinkham of
Lynn, Mass., for advice.
Read these strong letters from grate
ful women who have been cured:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham: (First Letter.)
"In looking over your book I see that your
medicine cures Tumors. I have been to a
doctor and he tells me I have a tumor. I
will be more than grateful if you can help
me, as I do so dread an operation." Fannie
D. Fox, Bradford, Pa. &
Dear Mrs. Pinkham: (Second Letter.)
" I take the liberty to congratulate you on
the success I have had with your wonderful
medicine. .
"Eighteen months ago my periods
stopped. Shortly after I felt so badly I sub

sician, and was told that I had a tumor
and would have to undergo an operation.

charged from the 9th Infantry in 1899
he enlisted in the hospital corps and
saw another three years' service,
during which time he was promoted
to the rank of acting hospital steward
by reason of his proficiency in the
work of the medical department.
With three excellent discharges in
his possession, Mr. Newton returned
to his home at Oregon City in 1902.
In a letter recommending Mr. New
con for a certificate of me-'it for
bravery, written at Angeles, P- I., in
September 1899, John A. Baldwin,
Major of the 22d U. S. Infantry, speaks
of Mr. Newton in the following terms:
"Upon request I have the honor to
state, that I have known First Ser
geant Frank Newton, Company K,
9th U. S. Infantry since November,
1898. During that, time' he passed
from the grade of private to First
Sergeant by reason of his manifested
abilities and soldierly qualities. I
was captain of his company. He is a
man of sober and excellent habits
and his associates, so far as I could
observe, were always among the best
element. His deportment has always
been excellent. He is a man of more
than ordinary force of character.
He is a man of superior and undaunt
ed courage. Has excellent presence
of mind and excercises command with
ease and efficiency."
Since returning to Oregon City Mr.
Newton has engaged in the undertak
ing business for which he made proper
preparation, making a study of the
business in Portland. He is one of
the clean, representative young men
of the county and respectfully solicits
the suffrages of the voters of Clack
amas county. If nominated and elect
ed to this office, Mr. Newton pledges
the people that the affairs of the office
will be properly and economically
administered and that the needless
holding of expensive inquests will he
avoided.

Another Case of Tumor Cared
by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegeta
ble Compound.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
44 About three years ago I bad intense pais
in my stomach, with cramps and raging
headaches. The doctor prescribed for me,
but finding that I did not get any better he
examined me and, to my surprise, declared
I had a tumor.

of dollars in doctoring, but the tumor kept
growing, till the doctor said that nothing bat
an operation would save me. Fortunately I
corresponded with my aunt in one of the New
England States, who advised me to try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound before sub
mitting to an operation, and I at once started
taking a regular treatment, finding to my
great relief that my general health began to
improve, and after three months I noticed
that the tumor had reduced in size. I kept
on taking the Compound, and in ten months
it had entirely disappeared without an oper
ation, and using no medicine but Lydia S.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and words
fail to express now grateful I am for the good
it has done me." Miss Luella Adams, Colon

Such unquestionable testimony
proves the value of Lydia E. Pinkham s

confidence and hope to every sick
