A SIMPLE REMEDY BEAUTIFIES
THE HAIR. CURES DAND
RUFF, STOPS FALLING
HAIR.
What a pity it is to see so many
people with thin, wispy hair, faded or
streaked with gray, and realize that
most of these people might have soft
glossy, abundant hair of beautiful col
or and lustre if they would but use the
proper treatment. There is no neces
sity for gray hair under sixty-five year
of age, and there is no excuse for any
one, young or old, having thin, stragg
ling hair, either full of dandruff or
heavy and rank smelling with exces
sive oil.
You can bring the natural color of
your hair in a few days and forever
rid yourself of any dandruff and loose
hairs, and make your hair grow strong
and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur lair Remedy. For gener
ations common garden Sage has been
used for restoring and preserving the
color of the hair; and Sulphur is rec
ognized by-Scalp Specialists as being
excellent for treatment of hair and
scalp troubles.
If you are trouble with dandruff or
itching scalp, or if your hair is losing
its color or coming out, get a fifty
cent bottle of Wythe's Sage and Sul
phur from your druggist, and notice
the improvement of your hair in a few
days' treatment.
FOUNTAIN HOSE COMPANY

vided and a large crowd is expected.
FOUR TO DIE ON
- SCAFFOLD TODAY
(Continued from Page 1.)
the scaffold cool and .with steady
nerve to die game, is . the. belief of
Prison Chaplain Bauer, who frequent
ly sees the condemned men.
Today Roberts was cainvand seems
to take his impending fate placidly.
It is probable that Fauider and Mor
gan also will go to the gallows un
moved. Morgan probably will contin
ue to assume the reticence which he
has displayed throughout and it is
doubtful if he will make a statement
on the scaffold. Fauider seems to be
prepared to die if it fall to his lot
and tonight there seems to be not the
slightest ray of hope for any of the
four men. . v
As to what Garrison will do on the
scaffold there. seems to be some doubt.
He has been garrulous in his conver
sation, untiring in inditing letters,
poetry and dissertions . on numerous
subjects. He has expressed a desire
that Governor West be present at
the executions, but this is highly im
probable. Some who have seen and talked to
Garrison express the belief that at
the last moment he may break down
and make a complete confession of
the murder of Roy Perkins in Coos
County. Some Interest is expressed
as to whether Morgan may desire to
make a statement privately as to his
past life, although probably he will
not talk on the scaffold. .
Morgan, who murdered John York
near Grants Pass is reported to have
killed his grandfather ' in Indiana and
also is suspected of having murdered
a man near Willows, Cal. He is re
ported to have boasted that the kill
ing of York was not his first murder.
. REED DELIGHTS .
WITH RECITATIONS
Mrs. Robert Reed, of Portland, en
tertained the members of the Wom
an's Club with Shakesperian recita
tions at a meetlnng at the Commercial
Club Thursday afternoon Mrs. Reed
is an accomplished recitatibnist, and
she held her audience throughout the
entertainment, ' graciously responding
to. several enchores. Mrs. Reed: also
gave several humorous recitations in
her inimitable way. Mrs. J. W. Norris
reported that she had seen the reser
voir, drained and that there was little
sediment.in the tank. She said that
Superintendent Howell had asked her
to urge the club to appoint a commit
tee to see the filters cleaned. Mrs.
David Caufield, president of the club,
said the .attendance was larger than
it . had been for several months. She
was enthusiastic in her praise of Mrs.
Reed's recitations.

PREVENT IAS FIRES
The Portland Association of Credit
Men has written the Commercial Club
of this city an important letter re
garding precautions against fire. The
letter says in part:
"The Christmas season is here
again, with all its beaufy and merry
making; a season when we decorate
our stores, homes, churches and
meeting places so attractively with
vari-colored papers, festoons, ever
greens and many other light but very
inflammable materials, that so easily
take fire and spread it. We are going
to ask you to again give this silbject
serious consideration and in your
community bring before your people
the necessity of being careful, lest
this season of joy and merriment be
turned into one of sadness and mourn
ing. Many have not forgotten the
Christmas fire at Silver Lake in which
so many children lost their lives."
STREETS CLEANED
BY CITY PRISONERS
Oregon City is again being made a
' City Beautiful." Chief or Police Shaw
Thursday put J. Boyer and Frederick
S. Ford, city prisoners, to work clean
ing the thoroughfares: Boyer is serv
ing a jail sentence of five days and
Ford a sentence of fifteen days. The
men cleaned lower Seventh ' Street
and several alleys Thursday and will
be kept at the work until all the down
town streets are cleaned. Because of
recent rains the streets are in a much
worse condition than usual.
Burghardt Estate $6,000.
The estate of E. H. Burghardt, val
ued . at $6,000, was filed for probate
Thursday. Mr. Burghardt died several
months ago. '

OREGON CITY, Or., Dec. .12. (Edi

Can you enlighten me?
MARTHA.
tion of the water supply with sewage.
That is the whole thing in a nut
shell, based on solid facts . All spec
ulation and theories to the contrary
notwithstanding.
The writer would like to meet "the
prominent business man who now of
fers to stake his entire business that
the real' cause was to be found else
where than in the water supply." He
sees an excellent chance to place a
very safe bet! '

PLUMBING DEFENDED. .
. OREGON CITY, Dec. 12. (Editor
of the Enterprise.) The article in
this morning's issue on "Plumbing,
etc." and 'Its connection with the
present epidemic of typhoid fever is
speculation, pure and simple "without
a leg of a-fact" to stand upon. It
was, evidently written by .some one
densely ignorant of the subject.' The
facts are these: Typhoid fever is not
produced by sewer gas nor by defect
ive - vents, traps or plumbing in a
house unless- the sewerage pipes are
connected with the water supply
pipes which is out of the question.
The disease gains entrance to
the human body through the ali
mentary canal by the indigestion of
water, or food, infected with Eberth's
Bacillus typhosus, due to contamina-
WATJER SOURCE DISCUSSED
OREGON CITY, Dec. 12. (Editor
of the Enterprise.) In two communications-
I have discussed the water
situation facetiously. Let me add a
concluding word in earnest. I am vit
ally interested in the matter inas
much as both my boys have been suf
fering from the fever for the past two
weeks, and are still on the wrong side
oi the clanger line. The day is far
past when superstition ascribed such
pestilence to the wrath of God. It
is due rather to the mistakes of man.
Hence it can be prevented.
Since .writing my last letter I have
learned something which made"" me
sorry that I picked fun at Mr. How
ell's invitation to citizens to be pres
ent at the cleaning of he city reser
voir. A foolish and unfounded report,
apparently, has gone forth that dead
dogs, and babies, and all sorts of
things were to b found in' the reser
voir. I believe Mr. Howell to be a
capable and conscientious officer,
none better, and such silly statements
regarding his watchfulness are to be
deplored. But all Mr. Howell's effi
ciency cannot filter cleanse a typhoid
laden stream to . the point of safety,
and he is making a mistake in think
ing that it- is up to him to apologize for
the present condition of things. The
people of Oregon City just now are
scarcely in the mood to tolerate any
attempt.. to, gloss facts where dozens
of lives are -at stake. One of the
most recent cases of typhoid that has
come to, my notice is in a family
where they .believed the report that
the water was all right, and neglect
ed to boil it. As to defective plumb
ing, -that should be looked into.: But
unfortunately for that theory, most of
che cases have occurred 'tn, homes
where the plumbing is above reproach
and external conditions have been the
best. There is no more conscientious
and capable body of men to be found
anywhere than those that constitute
our corps of physicians. Theii integ
rity is above reproach.. Any one who
has the slightest knowledge of. ty
phoid knows that our epidemic is
nothing else. Where then lies the
source of the trouble?
A preacher is not supposed to know
anything about bacteriology, or med
icine, or business, or much of any
thing elsein fact: Hennn T choll ca
j the, statement ., of our state biologist,
, as given in his annual reports, as my
aumoruy.,.. you may verify these
statements bv reference to tne reports
in our miblic lihrarv Th pro vnn will
I find the following remarks:
"The old notion that running water
will purify itself is not correct, .ex
icept for long distances." (Rep. for
1 19Q5, page 15.) He goes on to show
that in 1900, Cohoes, New York, was
infected with typhoid from Skenect
ady, seventeen miles up the Mohawk.
After quoting other instances he goes
on. to say of water in which labora
tory examination shows no typhoid
.bacilli. ,
"The human body is more, sensitive
than any laboratory methdd and may
receive inoculation from germs whose
presence man cannot detect"
Passing on he speaks of filters, say
ing: "Sand or charcoal filters remove
sediment and leave the water clear,
but. will not remove the larger part
of the bacteria, and unless frequent
ly cleaned with hot, water, they be
come breeding places for them, and
the latter condition is worse than the
first."
But ours is not an ordinary filter,
but one of -the best mechanical filters
made. True ! In his report he goes I
on to describe the Oregon City filter I
carefully, and speaks of it in words j
of high and deserved praise. But I
not this! In' his report he gives two
cuts, each containing an unfiltered '
and a filtered specimen of Willamette
water magnified and photographed.
What do they reveal? The first un
filtered shows 1270 colonies of bac
teria, the second, taken at another
season, 1184. But what about the
water after it has passed through our
filtering system? Surely it is then
pure? , The first filtered specimen
shows eleven and the second eigh
teen colonies of bacteria. Not- very
many, it is true for a waterdrop.
But how 'many would that make for
the contents of a drinking cup? Now
hark back 'to our authority's state
ment that so minute a quantity that
no laboratory can detect them may in
oculate one with typhoid., and to the
fact that Eberth's bacilli are often
present in such small numbers that
they cannot be detected, even in a
typhoid patient (yet they, do their
malignant work), and you will appre
hend the danger.
.- Our filter, is one of the best known.
'Our officers are careful and capable.
Yet they cannot eliminate the danger
from ""a- disease infected stream.
ShSuld not this fact be the strongest
possible' plea for a change in the
source of. oiir -water supply?
