THE OREGOVIAV8 HANDBOOK.
The Oregonlan's Handbook tells all about
'Portland, the entire Columbia River vtatersl.eJ
and the 1005 World's Fair, commemorative or
-the Lewis and Clark expedition to Orcson. Tlio
book contains over 100 handsome Illustrations,
and it Is printed on enameled book paper. It
'Will be mailed to any address In tho United
States or Canada for 7 cent a copy.
American Beer Ton the Oiuent. Tne
fact that the agent of a Siberian concern
closed a contract a day or two ago with
the Portland agent of an Eastern brew
ery for 72,000 quart bottles of beer, to be
shipped to Manchuria, will give an idea
of tho importance to this country" of
maintaining an "open door" into that
country and helps to explain a Washing
ton dispatch of February 7. This dispatch
states that the United States Govern
ment is acting with Japan and Great
Britain In resisting any action of Russia
.and China which threatens the interests
of the United States in the East, and
that the State Department has made it
perfectly plain that it is determined -to
maintain the open door in Manchuria. The
".beer purchased by the Siberian, concern
mentioned is to be shipped by way ot
Vladivostok, and bonds are required that
it will be disposed of in Manchuria only,
as the brewing concern which furnishes
It has agents In the adjoining territories
whose trade must not be interfered with.
When ihose Manchurlan Tartars get a
liking for American beer they will doubt
less be anxious to maintain an open door
for it In their country. The 72,000 quart
Tbottles, now going there, will hardly
Ue enough to "go around," and more
vwlll be needed at once.
Estimate of Wheat Crop. C. v.
"McComas, of Pendleton, Or., and W. K.
JRussell, of Moscow, Idaho, both promi
nent wheat buyers, have been spend
ing a few days In the city. Mr. McComas
reports Umatilla County more thorough
ly cleaned out of wheat than it has been
at a similar period Tor many years. He
estimates the stocks still on hand In the
county at not to exceed 400,000 bushels,
or about 10 per cent of the crop. The
amount still held in the county will be in
sufficient to meet the demands of the
anills until another crop Is available. The
-percentage still unsold In "Walla "Walla
County is greater than In Umatilla
County, and some of the wheat held there
will bo needed to meet the milling de
mand In Umatilla County. Mr. Russell
reports a similar condition of affairs in
Xatah County, Idaho, and estimates the
amount still on hand in the county at
from 100,000 to 125,000 bushels, an amount
so small In comparison to the crop har
vested that it is almost a perfect clean
up of the crop.
Vegetables in Good Contrition. It is
a. never falling source of wonderment to
-visitors arriving here from the country
east of the Rockies and along the bound--ary
line to see the markets well supplied
-with fresh vegetables, such as rhubarb,
green peas, string beans, artichokes, let
tuce, radishes, tomatoes, egg plant, green
peppers, Brussels- sprouts and such things,
which in tho colder parts of the country
can hardly be hoped for before July. Tho
excellent condition in which these articles
arrive here nowadays causes many to
imagine that they are raised here, but
they come from California, and mostly
from the southern part of the state, and
ithelr arrival in such good condition is at
tributable to the fact that they are
tpacked in tight barrels wtlh a lot of ice
dn the center. Tho Ice keeps the vege
tables from heating and the vegetables
"keep the ice from melting, and "there
you are."
Examinations in "Weather Bureau.
Forecast Official Edward A. Beals has re
ceived advice from "Washington that a
civil service examination will be held
liere March C, 1902. for the position of
messenger boy in the local office. Tlje
place pays ?30 a month, and boys from
16 to 20 are eligible. It Is a stepping
stone to higher places In the service, and
when the age of IS has been attained, ex
aminations can be taken for appointment
as observer. preference being given,
where standings are equal, to those who
have come up from the position of mes
senger. Applicants will be examined in
spelling, arithmetic, letter writing, pen
'manship and copying from rough draft.
Applications can be made to Mr. Beals,
of the Portland office, or to the Civil

Mathematician's Bad Break. A math
ematical genius, of this city, who has
"been endeavoring for years to square the
circle, was recently engaged by a woman's
club to solve the servant girl problem.
After he had attended several meetings
-of the club and listened to endless dis
cussions of this complicated and appar
ently unsolvable problem, he Informed tho
-women that the best solution he could
-work out, and the only one which seemed
practicable, would be for them to stav
-at home and do tlielr own work. As may
-well be imagined, the genius was dls.
charged quicker than any servant girl
could discharge herself, and he Is now
back at his old job of trying to square
the circle. He says he can accomplish
this more easily than he can hope to
square himself with the women.
Slim Chance to Shoot Ducks. a num
ber of sportsmen went down to their pre
serves Saturday evening, but had little
hopes of having much sport yesterday, as
latest reports were to the effect that,
although there were lots of ducks all
about, the ponds were still frozen over.
The ice In the rivers had broken up and
moved out, but on the lakes and ponds it
was still solid, as the rains had not been
warm enough to have much effect on
tho ice where there is no current. Pos
sibly the rain Saturday night may have
dissolved the ice and afforded good shoot
ing yesterday, as it was a "good day
for ducks."

Colonel Harrington's Tropht. Colo
nel J. M. Harrington, of Pillar Rock,
who went to England last Fall to enjoy
the sport -of fox hunting during the Win
ter, has sent to his friend, Howard Win
ters, of this city, a magnificent fox's
brush, which he captured after one of
the hottest runs of the season with the
hounds of his neighbor, the Duke of
Northumberland. The fox was an artful
old dodger, and led the hunt a merry
chase across the very stlffest bit of coun
try in that part of England, and so wore
out the horses that many of the hunters
gave up, and the others were tailed out
for a mile or more. When at last the fox
clambered over a stone wall full six
foot in height. Colonel Harrington was
the only one who followed, clearing It
like a bird, while the horses of all the
others balked. The hounds killed the
fox In the next field, and he carried off
the brush in triumph. Colonel Harring
ton in his younger days was one of the
most noted cross-country riders In the
North of England, and, although he has
been a resident of this country- for many
years, he has not forgotten how to ride,
and his seat In the saddle Is as firm as
ever. He has also a good eye for a
horse, and money was no object when
he had a chance to buy one of the best
hunters in the British Isles. Mr. Winters
is very proud of the brush, and has had
a silver handle attached to it, and will
use it next Summer to brush away the
flies when he is enjoying his after-dinner
Havana. Colonel Harrington will arrive
here in a few weeks In time for the open
ing of the salmon fishing season, and. If
fish are as plentiful this season as they
were last, he will either buy an estate in
England in a good hunting country, or
buy a county In Oregon, stock it with
foxes and build himself a castle patterned
after that of his friend, the Duke of
Northumberland.
Great Activity in Lumber. The pros
pects for the lumber business are very en
couraging at present, as the demand Is
constantly increasing. Inman & Pouleen
have lately overhauled their mills and
put on another shift of men, so as to
run day and night, and the North Pacific
Lumber Company will shut down Its mills
In a week or two to give them an over
hauling, and when this is completed
will also put on another shift and run
day and night. This concern shipped 5,.
090 feet of lumber last month, consider
able of It going to San Francisco by
schooners, on account of difficulty in se
curing the necessary cars to send it by
rail. There are usually two or three
schooners In the river loading, or to load,
at these mills for San Francisco. The
Eastern Lumber Company's mills are
running day and night, and the dally out
put of the Portland mills will soon
amount to something enormous. The
Lumber manufacturers here, however,
complain of small profits In their busi
ness, as compared with Eastern manu
facturers. They say that mills at the
East which cut 5.000.000 feet per year
make almost as much as Oregon mills
which cut 100,000.000 feet, and say fur
ther that the profit here does not average
$1 on a thousand feet.
New Industry for Portland. A lot
of strange-looking machinery, comprising
a press, large caldrons and an Im
mense percolator, piled on the sidewalk
In front of the store of the Blumauer
Frank Drug Company Saturday attracted
the attention of a number of persons. The
articles were the plant of the "S. B."
Medicine Manufacturing Company, which
has been in business at Dufur, Wasco
County, for the past 20 years or more,
the products of which arc known all over
this Coast, The company was composed
of a number of the principal business men
of Dufur, and they have gone on until
their business has outgrown the town,
and have sold out and the factory has
been moved here. This will be a new
manufacturing Industry for Portland, and
will give employment to some 25 persons,
part of whom will be engaged collecting
the Oregon herbs from which the medi
cine is prepared and the remainder In
its manufacture.
Probably the Shaddock. "A House
keeper" writes to The Oregonlan to ask
what kind of fruit It is that the Chinese
always have on their refreshment tables
during their new year's celebration, and
which is never seen In tho markets. IX
looks like an enormous orange or lemon,
some of them being as large as a child's
head. The fruit in question is probably
the shaddock, a species of orange, and the
largest of all the citrus fruits. It is
also known as pomelo and "the for
bidden fruit." The skin on a large one
Is about an Inch in thickness, and conse
quently the pulpy Interior Is much smaller
In proportion than in the orange. Tho
flavor differs somowhat from that of tho
orange, and Is not so pleasant to the
taste. It Is probably esteemed by the
Chinese more on account of Its slzo and
rarity than for any good qualities it
possesses.
Christie Literary Society Election.
The Christie Literary Society, of Co
lumbia University, held its annual elec
tion of officers Saturday evening. Follow
ing are the newly elected officers: Pres
ident, Professor J. M. O'Farrell; vice
president, Harry T. Shea; secretary, Louis
A. Paddcn: treasurer, Horace Olds; ser-geant-at-arms.
Herman Osterman. Owing
to the untiring efforts of Past President
P. 12. Sullivan and the great Interest of
the students, the society is now In a very
flourishing condition. All feel convinced
that under the leadership of Professor
O'Farrell the society will soon stand
among the foremost literary societies of
the Northwest. The library Is being rap
idly filled with the works of the leading
authors, and the standard magazines are
to be found on its tables.
Work on Vancouver-Kalama Rail
road. Construction work on the Vancouver-Kalama
Railroad is concentrated
chiefly at the Lewis River crossing.
Freight trains are running regularly over
the road. They cross Lewis River by
ferry- The work of establishing the
foundations of the piers of the bridge is
slow, on account of the shifting nature
of the bed of the stream. The pivot pier
of the draw is requiring the most atten
tion. Long piles are sunk into the bed
of the river. 'Upon these the pier Is
building. The draw will be about 2T0 feet
long and the entire bridge $00 feet. It
will be entirely of steel. Several trestles
along the road are being filled in.
Accident to Colonel Mitchell.
Colonel Robert W. Mitchell, while on his
way home Saturday night, slipped on the
crosswalk at the corner of Twenty-first
and AVashlngton streets and fell violently
to the pavement, striking on his head.
An ugly wound was torn In his scalp,
and the fall stunned him so that he lay
unconscious until a party of young men
discovered him and took him to his rest,
dence, 70,J Everett street. He was de
lirious all that night, but yesterday re
covered from the effects of the shock
and bade fair to make a speedy recov
ery. The wound was sewed up by Dr.
Nichols, it being necessary to take nine
stitches In It.
Still a Mystery. The condition of
Mrs. John Cook, of 7 Sixth street, who
was shot In the right leg Saturday night,
had Improved yesterday. She still stated
that a tramp had followed her into her
house and had shot her. The bullet
passed through the woman's limb, the
surgeon's said, but careful search failed
to find it in the hallway or Imbedded in
the wood at the door. The police say
that there will not likely be any arrests in
the case.
Death. Mrs. Amelia L. Baum, CT years
old, widow of Leopold Baum, died yester
day at 44 North Ninth street, and the
funeral will take place tomorrow after
noon at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Baum was born
In Bavaria, and she left a family of three
daughters and two sons.

NEW SOUTH WALES PLAN
COMPREHENSIVE LAW GOVERNING
LABOR DISPUTES.
Placet Unions of Employes and Em
ployers onsthc Snme Basis
Other Provisions.
By the plan in force in New South
Wales for settlement of labor disputes,
the government recognizes unions of em.
ployers and unions of employes on tne
same basis. The Oregonlan has been re
quested to give a synopsis of the recent
law whereby this has been effected. A
copy of the act has been received from
the Minister of Justice of New South
Wales. The law was passed last year,
and is to be effective until June, 1903.
The act provides for tho registration
and incorporation of Industrial unions,
both of employers and employes. The
duties prescribed by the act are per
formed by a Registrar, appointed by the
Governor, and the act gives that official
full power to carry out Its provisions.
The law provides means for settling all
industrial disputes and for enforcing all
Industrial agreements. Chief of these
means is a Court of Arbitration of three
members, appointed by the Governor.
One member Is a Supreme Judge of the
colony. A second is chosen from a list
of persons recommended by a body of
delegates from the unions of employers.
The third Is selected in the samo way,
from a list named by delegates from the
unions of employes. The act provides
punishment for strikes and lockouts. The
court may prescrlbo the minimum wage
to be paid to workmen in any industry.
Employes may not be dismissed for be
longing to a union, and members or
unions shall be preferred by employers
when other considerations are equal.
The Registrar Is required to register
any person or company or corporation
that employs not less than 50 workmen,
and any trade union or association of
trade unions. Applications to register
must be Indorsed by the directors or man.
agcrs of the unions, and must set forth
the rules of organization of the bodies
and other minor details prescribed. An
Industrial union makes Its own rules ot
organization, and these are binding upon
all members. It may own and deal In
any real or personal property. Registra
tion may be cancelled on application of
the Registrar to the court, when the
provisions of the law are not accorded
with.
The state also recognizes the Internal
organization of unions and guarantees to
carry out the rules of the body against
any member. Every dispute within the
union shall be decided In the manner di
rected by the rules of such union. Any
member who refuses to pay a fine or
penalty made In pursuance of those rules
Is amenable to the court and the law.
But no fine or penalty shall exceed .
Industrial unions may enter Into an
agreement with each other, which shall
be absolutely binding on both parties,
employers and employes.
Each industrial union chooses a dele
gate or delegates to a central body. The
central body of employers makes recom
mendations for Its member of the arbi
tration court and so does that of em.
ployes. A corporation that hires not less
than 50 nor moro than 250 men may
choose one delegate; or not more than fAO
men, two delegates, or more than 500 men,
threo delegates. A trade union that has
not more than 250 members may choose
one delegate; or not more than 500 mem
bers, two delegates: or more than 500
members, three delegates; or more than
1000 members, four delegates; or more
than 1200 members, five delegates. The
delegates, chosen respectively by unions
of employers and the unions of employes
meet in separate places when summoned
by the Registrar.
The Court of Arbitration has jurisdic
tion and power to hear and determine
any labor dispute, to summon witnesses
and to enforce Its orders. It is at once
a Supreme Court for settlement of all la
bor controversies.
AH trade or financial secrets disclosed
in evidence are sacredly withheld from
publicity. No matter may be referred to
tho court, except on application of a union
or a person aggrieved by an order of the
court. Proceedings in this court are not
removable to any other tribunal, and no
order or proceeding shall bo vitiated by
any Informality: nor shall It bo appealed
against nor reviewed or quashed by any
other court on any account whatever.
Whoever causes a lock-out or strike
is subject to a fine not exceeding J50C0,
or imprisonment not exceeding two
months. An employer who dismisses a
workman for membership in a union may
bo fined up to MOO for each offense. Tho
court may prescrlbo a minimum rate of
wages, but provision is made for a tri
bunal to award a lower rate in the case
of employes who are unable to earn the
prescribed minimum.
Among the other powers of tho court
are the following: To declare any rule
for the Industry in question; to direct
what exceptions to such rule shall be
binding upon employers and employes; to
grant an injunction against non-observance
of any order of the court; to order
the cancellation of the registration of a
union; to Impose penalties for failure to
observe an order.
ALL NOW WANT GOOD STREETS
City Government Confronted With
Grcnt Amount of Worlc.
There is a very general movement on
the part of citizens to put the streets of
the city in good condition, and the amount
of work staring the Street Department In
the face. In tho way of street Improve
ments, Is something startling.
City Engineer Chase is in hopes that the
people will elect to build a substantial
and permanent class of streets. He says
the cheap macadam and gravel streets
In the residence portion of the city are
In better condition than ever, before, and
it Is the costly streets In the center of
the city which are In such bad condition
and cause so much unfavorable comment.
Quite a number of street improvements
started last Fall and held up on account
of the Bellinger decision will now go
ahead. Work will be resumed on them
as soon as practicable, and they will bo
pushed to completion.
There Is a movement on foot among
property-owners to Improve Thurman,
Savler and Raleigh streets from Front
street to their western termini. The
property-owners on North Fifteenth,
North Sixteenth and North Seventeenth
streets are also contemplating having
their streets put In good order. As all
that would be required on these streets
is a redressing, the expense of putting
them In good condition will not be great.
Burnslde street remains In bad condition,
but will be repaired by the city without
cost to the owners as soon as the railway
is completed there. The rails are strung
along the street, but the company is
waiting for the construction of a steel
crossing for Third street before going
ahead with construction of the track.
This railway is to be a first-class one,
with seven-inch full-grooved rails, which
will be a pattern for other companies to
follow. As soon as the track is down
City Engineer Chase will proceed to put
the brick pavement in first-class repair.
Sixth street will also be taken in hand
by the Engineer's Department and put
in repair as soon as the weather will per
mlt the laying of asphalt.
Bobs Up Serenely.
PORTLAND. Feb. 9. (To the Editor.)
This morning's Oregonlan contains the
after-dinner programme of the American
Patriotic Club which is to celebrate the
birthday of Abraham Lincoln, February
12, at the Portland Hotel. Four lawyers
are on the "programme for four speeches.
C. M. Idleman's subject Is "Abraham
Lincoln." Now, I wish, in all seriousness,
1 to suggest to the able speaker, that while
considering the character of that great
American Commoner, he should not by any
manner of means forget to alludo to hw
great devotion to a government by the
people, and to his Intuitive knowledge
of Constitutional law, as was abundantly
evident when he wrote the following
great truth In his first innugural mes
sage: If the poller of the Government, upon vital
question? affecting- the whole people. Is to be
Irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme
Court, It Is plain that the people will have
ceased to be their own rulers, having turned
their Government over to the despotism of the
few life officers composing that court.
I know of some lawyers, and of some
State and Federal Judges who have very
erroneous notions regarding this great
Constitutional question; who. In fact, en
dorse the despotism denounced by Abra
ham Lincoln, and If Mr. Idleman would
only elaborate the grent truth above
quoted, he might be able to throw some
light where there appears to be so very
great Judicial darkness. X.

BRAVERY OF "CHARITY BOY."
Serjeant Under Whcnton Replies to
Dubois' Attack.
The attack made upon General Whcaton
by Senator Dubois, of Idaho, recently, and
the defense of the commander of the
Philippine flying column by Brevet
Bxlgadlcr-Generai Summers, has elicited
a letter from A. J. Florey, of Eagle Point.
Or., who served in the Civil War as First
Sergeant of Company A, Eighth Illinois
Volunteer Infantry.
After speaking of General Summers' de
fense ot General Wheaton, Sergeant
Florey said:
"I was with Wheaton from Fort Don
elson, where we lost one-half of our
regiment In killed and wounded, to Fort
Blakely. the last general engagement of
the war. I was with General Wheaton
when he went over the works at Fort
Blakely. It came about in this way.
Our regiment was sent out In front of
our division to drive in the rebel skirmish
ers, then to halt and lay down for an
assault by the division. We did the work
quickly with small loss. When Colonel
Joslah Sheetz, commanding the regiment.
In obedience to orders, brderc-d us to halt.
Although we were in open ground and
without shelter and within 75 yards of the
rebel works and before the-division could
make a move. General Wheaton stepped to
the front (canister passing over us like
a Kansas cyclone), and commanded In a
stentorian voice the boys to up and over
the works. General Wheaton himself
took the lead and the boys, now old men,
were close on his heels. When we got In
side the fort, a squad of rebels refused to
surrender and the boys went at them with
clubbed muskets. General Granger, who
was near by, said It wa sthe most daring
and complete assault he ever witnessed.
"I received a letter from General
Wheaton In ISM and I would like to re
peat what he said of the Second Oregon.
I have mislaid the letter, however, and
I will only say that he could not praise
the boys enough on account of the pov
erty of the English language. They were
second to no regiment In the Philippines
m bravery and discipline."
NEW TREE-FELLING MACHINE
Will Use Electricity to Lay Loiv the
Fir Forests.
Plans and drawings for a machine for
sawing down trees for lumber have been
nearly completed by a machinist of this
city, who feels confident that his machine
will prove a success. He declines to fur
nish any drawings for publication until
his Invention has been thoroughly tested.
As two men with an ordinary cross-cut
saw can cut down the largest tree. It can
be 6een that no great amount of power
will be necessary to run the machine.
The intention of the Inventor Is to have
a saw and electric motor of sulficlent
power to run It, arranged so that th
machine can be clamped to the butt of a
tree and a wire to operate the concern
connected with a generator, which can
be run by waterpower If there Is a creek
near the camp, or by steam power If not.
The machine can be carried from tree to
tree by two men, and the wire cm be
stretched after It without any trouble.
The machine can be clamped to the tree
so as to saw It straight across or at
any angle desired, and If it Is necessary
to fall a tree In any particular direc
tion a notch as large as desired can be
cut out bv setting the saw to make a
slanting cut up to the line on which It
is to be cut. and then shift the saw so as
to cut straight through, letting the piece
which has been sawed up behind fall out
and leaving a notch all the same as If
it had been cut out by axes.
The Inventor thinks trees can be out
much more cheaply and faster In this way,
and he will also make a saw for cutling
the tree in lengths. Some who have sen
the plans of the machine think it is all
right, while others doubt the practlcablll
lty of It. There can be no doubt about
the feasibility of operating a saw that

Southern Paclflc "Will Refund.
Wall Street Journal.
Several of the papers have token occa
sion to deny our statement that Southern
Pacific will take up the matter of re
funding Its bonded debt within a com
paratively short time. One or two have
referred to such refunding as Impossible,
because Southern Pacific is a proprletary
company.
In view of these denials, we take pleas
ure In restating that the matter of re
funding the debt of Southern Pacific is
likely to be taken up within a few months,
and 't Is expected that large progress
l.vrtll be made during tho current year.
REORGANIZATION PIANO SALE.

will be offered for sale at tremendously cut prices.

embrace the instruments of nearly every maker of promi
nence in the United States. 'Twill be the time to buy!

EiLERS PIANO HOUSE
Incorporated Cap'tal 9UGU,OUO.
Factors of the three greatest American pianos the dick
ering, of Boston, the Weber, of New York, and the Kim
ball, of Chicago, and dozens of other renowned makes, such
as Vose, Decker, Crown orchestral, Hobart ft!. Cable, H.nze,
Whitney, Whcelock, Milton, Weser orchestral, Leicht & Com
pany, Stuyvesant, Schuman, Singer, Victoria, Sherwood &
Sons, Marshall, as well as the famous Angelus orchestral
piano players. Portland retail salesrooms, 351 Washington
Street, opposite Cordray's theater.
It is true that there are some difficulties
growing out of the different mortgages
and different corporations, but these diffi
culties are not Insuperable. The subject
has been under legal examination for
some time, end a way to get the effects
of refunding Into a unifying bond will
be presented at the proper time. The ef
fect of refunding will be a saving In In
terest of considerably more than a mil
lion dollars a year.
To this will be added a material reduc
tion In operating expenses as a result of
the betterments under way. A change In
the ratio of expense from 67 per cent or
6S per cent to perhaps 60 per cent will
have a very important effect upon net
earnings. The facts bearing upon South
ern Pacific and the reasons which are
Influencing operations in the stock are
becoming exceedingly clear.
HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.
Sermon by DlNtins'ilKhcd Visitor at
Taylor-Street Church.
Bishop Cranston preached an Interesting
sermon at the Taylor-Street M. E. Church
yesterday morning. In the evening Dr.
E. M. Mills, of New York, chairman of the
twentieth century movement of the II.
E. church, occupied the pulpit.. He took
no regular text, but preached a sermon
on the "Thank Offering of the Twentieth
Century." He said in brief: "Some people
have no hope for the future, simply be
cause they have no conception of what
occurred In the nineteenth century- I"
the nineteenth century dueling and slav
ery wero abolished and many other an
cient practices ceased to exist. Some
people say that we are a profane nation,
but Jus-tin McCarthy snys that Eng'lsh
society wai clothed with profanity a
hundred years ago. At present, no such
condition exists. Some people say that
the church Is loosening Its hold on the
heart and brain of the world, but there
are more Christian students in one East
ern university today than there were In
all the colleges of the United States a
century ago.
"We have collected enough for Chris
tian education to buy Wesleyan. Syracuse
and Bosi'jn Universities. Oregon should
surely be equal to the task of raising the
debt of Willamette University. I predict
that before John H. Coleman has been
president of Willamette University live
years It will have several new buildings,
its debts paid and a quarter of a mil
lion dollars endowment."

VASELINE NO GOOD FOR HAIR.
Dandruff Germ Thrives la It, a 'Well
as la All Grease.
A well-known Chicago hair specialist In
vited the Inter Ocean reporter to come to
his office and see, under a microscope,
how the germ that causes dandruff
thrives In vaseline. The specialist said
that all hair preparations containing?
grease, simply furnish food for the germs
and help to propagate them. The only
way to cure dandruff Is to destroy the
germs, and the only hair preparation that
will do that is Newbro's Herplclde. "De
stroy the cause, you remove the effect."
Without dandruff no failing hair, no bald
ness. Ask for Herplclde. It Is the only
destroyer of the dandruff germ.
