A PERSONAL STATEMENT
There are so-called "honey and tar'
preparations that cost the dealer half
as much but sell at the same price as
the original and genuine Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound. We never offer
these Imitation! and substitutes. We
know you will buy Foley's whenever
you need a cough syrup If you once
use It. People come long distances
for the true FOLEY'S over thirty
years the leading remedy for coughs,
colds, croup, whooping cough, bron-

Those of Middle Age Especially.
When you have found no remedy for the horrors that
oppress you during change of life, when through the long
hours of the day it seems as though your back would break,
when vour head aches constantly, you are nervous, de-,;
pressed and suffer from those dreadful bearing down pains,
don't forget that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
is the safest and surest remedy, and has carried hundreds
of women safely through this critical period.
Read what these three women say:
From Mrs. Hornung, Buffalo, N. Y,
BtnTAto, N. Y. "I am writing; to let you know how much your
medicine has done for me. I failed terribly during the last winter
and summer and every one remarked about my appearance. I suf
fered from a female trouble and always had pains in my back, no
appetite and at times was very weak.
I was visiting at a friend's house one day and she thought I needed
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I took it and have gained
eight pounds, have a good appetite and am feeling better every day.
Everybody is asking me what I am doing and I recommend Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. You may publish this letter if you
wish and I hope others who have the same complaint will see it and
got health from your medicine as I did." Mrs. A. Uornung, 81
Stanton St, Buffalo, N. Y.
Made Me Well and Strong:.
Maokdon, N.Y. UI was all run down and very thin in flesh, ner
vous, no appetite, could not sleep and was weak, and felt badly all
the time. The doctors said I had poor blood and what I had was
turning to water. I took different medicines which did not help me,
but Lydia K Pinkhani's Vegetable Compound made me well and
strong, and I am recommending it to my friends." Mrs. Feed
Coaob, It. No. 2, Macedon, N.Y.
The Change of Life.
Belts villi. Ma "By the use of Lydia K Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound I have successfully passed through a most trying time,
the Change of Life. I suffered with a weakness, and had to stay in
bed three days at a time. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
restored me to perfect health, and I am praising it for the benefit of
other women who suffer as I did." Mrs. V. S. DtrvixL, Route No. L
Belts ville, Md.
For SO years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Com pound haa been the standard remedy for fe
male ills. No one sick with woman's ailments
does justice to herself if she does not try this fa
mous medicine made from roots and herbs. It
has restored so many stiff eringwoniea to health

A rush In taxpaying between do
and the first of April U expected by
County Treasurer M. E. Dunn and Tax
Collector George Harrington aa tho
first Interest charge becomes effec
tive on that date.
Ileglnnlng April 1, Interest at the
rate of one per cent a month wilt be
charged until the taxes are paid. 1,'
the first half of the taxes are paid be
fore the first of next month, there is
no Interest on the remaining half. The
usual penalty that comes due In the
fall was abolished at the last session
of the legislature so that the Interest
charge Is the only inducement to in
fluence property owners to pay. One
per cent Interest Is added each month.
That Is, the Interest In April will be
one per cent, in May two per cent. In
June three per cent and so on.
Vp to the present time, 1283.227.73
has been collected. This is J153.9C1.13
less than half of the total tax on all
property. Several of the largest tax
payers, such as the Portland Railway.
Light & Power company have not yet
made their appearance. The big elec
tric company will pay about $110,000
taxes In Clackamas county this year
and 155,000 of this sum Is expected be
fore the end of this month.
Monday was a busy day In the tax
collecting office. The total for the
one day alone was over $19,000, one
'check from the Weyerhauser timber
Interests being for J6S00.
Treasurer Dunn Is calling In road
warrants as early as possible but no
calls will be sent out for general fund
warrants until the first payment of
state taxes has been made, probably
soon before May 1. Mr. Dunn said
Tuesday that he expected that the
county would be on a cash basis be
fore August 1.

banish the freckles. Money back If it
