SPEAKS 01 IDEAL
Dr. Brougher's Sermon Appro
priate to Eve of Labor's
Annual Festival.
SAVIOR LOVED THE TOILERS
Preacher Says That If Church oi
Christ Is Faithful to Her Mis
sion She Will Fearlessly De
liver His Jlessage.
"I believe that Jesus Christ has a spe
cial message for laboring people; that he
lias a message for the capitalist and the
corporation and also for the wage-earner,"
said Dr. J. Whitcomb Brougher at the
"White Temple last night, speaking on
"The Ideal Workman." He took for his
text Mark vl:3, "Is not this the carpen
ter?" As the pastor went into the 'pulpit the
large congregation arose and gave Dr.
Brougher the Chautauqua salute. They
then sang "Blest Be the Tie That Binds."
The pastor said that of the many
pleasant experiences of his life this had
touched his heart the most. Fred Butler
eang with feeling the solo entitled, "The
Armorer's Song," from "Robin Hood,"
by De Koven, with sacred words.
Dr. Brougher welcomed the members of
the various labor unions present at the
services last night, and said In part:
"If the church of Jesus Christ is faith
ful to her mission she will fearlessly and
lrankly deliver Christ's message to the
capitalist and corporation as well as to
the day laborer. The teachings of Jesus
Christ, I believe, furnish the solution to
all the social problems of the hour. I
look forward with happy expectation to
the day when the teachings of Jesus
Christ will bring about proper relations
between capital and labor, and the labor-'
ing man will be accorded his rightful
place of dignity and power in the pro
gress of the world.
"There are three significant facts In the
life of Christ to which I specially wish to
call attention tonight. These facts will
show the Ideal relationship between Jesus
Christ and the laboring people of all
ages.
Christ Was a Laborer.
"Jesus Christ himself was a working
man. He was a carpenter and he was
the son of a carptenter. He Is the only
person that ever lived, so far as I know,
that ever had the privilege of selecting
his own earthly parents. He chose to
be known as the son of Mary and Joseph,
who were working people. The so-called
18 'hidden years' of his life, from the
time he was 12 until he was 30, were spent
in Nazareth. He was obedient unto his
parents and he was industrious. He
spent most of the time working at the
carpenter's bench to make his own living
and, as. tradition tells us, support his
widowed mother. He received the com
mendation of his Heavenly Father as he
closed his work In the carpenter shop
to enter the ministry.
"Jesus Christ, therefore, becomes the
ideal workman. He worked with that
honesty and fidelity of character which
Btamps all honorable labor today with
dignity and special honor. The name
workingman was a reproach in the days
of Christ, but it is not so any longer.
Christ has placed honor upon the term
laboring man and he who tolls needs
never be ashamed, but he who labors not
needs be ashamed. Every workshop, every
office, every occupation that is honest,
which we .enter, if done in the spirit of
Christ, can be considered a sacred work.
"In the second place, Christ chose
worklngmen for his chief apostles. Jesus
Christ, of course had friends among the
wealthy and the educated. He did not
recognize class distinctions. To nlm a
man was a man whether rich or poor. It
was character that counted and not cash.
He was Just as much a Savior for the
rich as for the poor; for the great as for
the lowly; for the exalted as for the
obscure. Still, it was a striking fact that
his most intimate companions were
laboring men. Peter and James and John
were fishermen. They were his closest
and most Intimate companions. Upon
them he put the responsibility of carrying
on the great work which he came to do
In the world..
Workingmen of History.
"As a matter of fact, the men who have
Influenced the world most have been men
who have come up as sons of toll. Moses
was the son of a poor slave, Levite;
Gideon was called from his threshing
floor to deliver Israel. David was a
shepherd. It is likewise true that most
modern reformers have been the soijs oT
toil. Luther was the son of a. poor miner
who had to struggle for existence; Wil
liam Carey was simply a 'cobbler of
shoes, ' but he was also the father of
modern missions. David Livingston
toiled at the cotton gin. Ben Jonson, the
great English scholar, was a mason.
Bunyan was a tinker. Eli Hugh Burrltt
became known as the 'learned black
smith.' Horace Greeley, James Gordon
Bennett and George W. Childs worked
their way up through poverty to become
the. greatest newspaper men the world
has ever known.
"Jesus Christ has always gathered
around him, to do his work, laboring peo
ple. The church of Jesus Christ, there
fore, should And its closest friends and
chlefest support In those who know the
story of dally toil.
"Christ did most of his work, when on
earth, among the laboring classes.' He
took special Interest in the things they
were doing. He drew the illustrations In
his sermons from their work. He took
the everyday affairs of life and gave them
a new meaning, as he applied the lessons
they taught, to the masses of the people
to whom he spoke. This ) was what
charmed the people with the preaching
of Jesus. At times he was deep, but he
was always as clear as crystal, he was
profound but his language was simple and
sincere. The shephered would come down
from the hills to hear him. The farmer
would leave his plow to come and listen.
The fisherman and the housewife tarried
to hear him speak.
Espoused Cause of Labor.
"He was in hearty sympathy with the
working classes. He had passed through
all their experiences find knew their
struggles and trials. It is a wonderful
fact, as another has said, that Jesus
Christ lived the life of a laboring man.
Every condition of society, every station
of life was open to his choice. He might
have dazzled the world with the splendor
of his attainments. He might have come
with untold wealth at his command, but
he did not. He came into a worklngman's
home and a worklngman's life. He came
with a distinctive purpose of making con
ditions easier for the laboring classes.
' "The church of Jesus Christ, as a conse
quence, ought always to be interested In
matters that concern the laboring people.
The Influence of the church should be
used that the laboring people may have
just wages, better home In which to
live, and greater opportunities for the
enjoyment of the best in life. The church
that is true to Jesus Christ will make
this a part of her great mission. She will
endeavor to demonstrate by active help
fulness the great fact that Jesus Christ
is interested in all that pertains to the
conditions of the laboring classes.
"If any people in this wide world ought
to love Jesus Christ; if anyone ought to
confess him before the world and acknowl
edge him as Savior and Lord; if anyone
ought to crowd the church and be loyal
to Christ a? their truest friend, then it
ought to be the laboring people. He Is
the best friend the working people will
ever krow."
At the morning service Dr. Brougher
told some of his experiences on his recent
trip to Southern California.
EXHORTS TO CLEAJf LIVING
Rev. Gllman Parker Preaches Ser
mon to Yovmg Men.
Rev. Oilman Parker, of the Grace Bap
tist Church, Montavilla, delivered an ad
dress last night to young men. He made
a most earnest plea to young men to live
clean lives, and pointed out that there is
a demand for men of high character in
business. His text was: "Wherewithal
Shall a Young Man Cleanse His Way?"
He said:
There are many reasons, in this fast age,
why our young m.n should live clean liven.
An excellent moral character is demanded
of every young man seeking employment.
Society Is more and more endeavoring to
H4 Itself of the dishonorable and the im
pure. The interests of home life and do
mestic happiness depend entirely on clean
ways. The honor of the church and the
perpetuity of good government can only be
maintained by and through the highest
grade of moral rectitude. The law of
health has pasted eternal Judgment on Im
purity and uncleanllness, and God refuses
to forgive moral Imperfection and sins that
are not put away. Even the blood of the
atonement cannot cleanse Impurities unre
pented of; he that confesseth his sin and
forsaketh It shall find mercy.
Young men are not sinners above others
in the average; perhaps older men are
more Impure, walking in forbidden ways;
but this la no excuse for young men to
run In corrupt paths, or to Indulge In
unclean and sinful things. The best way
Is to keep clean, walking In ways of
righteousness and purity.
How shall the young man cleanse his
ways? The Word of God Immediately an
swers this question: "By taking heed there
unto according to the Word." First The
light of truth needs to be turned oft the
ways of young men that need cleansing.
"Men love darkness rather than light be
cause their ways are evil." Jesus declares
this truth with emphasis, and sayw to his
disciples, "Ye are clean through the word
that I have spoken unto you." The light
of Divine truth will reveal the real status
of your moral aharacter. To know one's
real condition is the first step towards
cleanliness, which Is only another word for
godliness. To be brought face to face with
our Impurities and sins In the pure bright
flashlight of the word of God Is to matte
us think right thoughts and to desire
right things; "as a man thlnketh In his
heart so Is he." The light of truth is a
mighty moral rectifier, and right thinking
Is the forerunner of reformation.
Following the leadings of truth as re
vealed In the Word' of God, a young man
must get out ot his bad ways. He cannot
be cleansed and remain In the filth and
mud of his past uncleanllness. He needs
to repent of his sins and confess them to
Almighty God.
To repent means to turn away from your
evil ways and make clean paths for your
feet, to confess your sins to God means to
abandon them forever. To be made clean
in moral character and walk in clean ways,
can only be secured by the cleansing blood
of the atonement, for without the shedding
of- blood there Is no remission of sin, so
declares the Word of Ood. "Thus it is
written and thus It behoved Christ to suf
fer, and to rise from the dead, that re
pentance and remission of sins should be
preached In his name among all nations,"
and "If we walk in the light as he Is in the
light, the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth
from all sin."
You ought to take these three steps and
make your young life worth living. Your
personal welfare demands It. Your family
and domestic Interests can be made super
latively good, only, as your ways are cor
rect. Your social affiliations may become
desirable and pleasant by so doing. The
prosperity of your business life depends
upon it; and your citizenship will become
more valuable' as you walk in the purity
and righteousness of a better life.
TELIiS OF WORK IX COREA
Miss Lucy Broad, English W. C. T.
V. Worker, Preaches.
Miss Lucy Broad, of England, a world
worker for the W. C. T. U., spone yester
day morning in the Calvary Baptist
Church, Bast Eighth and Grant streets,
on the topic "The King's Highways and
the Road Makers." She spoke rfrom the
text "Prepare ye the way. In the first
part of her discourse Miss Broad illus
trated what is meant by the king's high
ways and the road makers by pointing
to the evangelistic movements. John,
who had proclaimed "Prepare ye the
way," was one o- the first road makers,
and led the way along tne king's high
ways. So there was j.n open highway for
all and an invitation to all to enter.
In speaking of her own experience in
Corea, where she spent eight years In
the mission field, she told of the re
markable progress Chlrsttan temperance
was making In that land, now under con
trol of Japan. She said tnere are about
15,000.000 people in' Corea, with 100.000
Christians, a band as devoted and self
sacrificing as can be found in any Chris
tian nation. Miss Broad told of a woman
who had gone to the mission meeting
against the opposition of her husband,
, who was given to drinking, with the re
sult both were converted. Then she spoke
of a man who went to the mission
against the opposition of his wife, who
was so angry that she struck him over
the head with a Corean pillow, not the
soft pillow used in this country, but a
billet of wood, but the man persisted
until his wife was converted also with
himself. "
Miss Broad spoke in eloquent terms of
the Corean people, and declared that she
would gladly spend 20 years of her life
among them, as they were so desirous of
learning the truths of the Christian re
ligion. At the conclusion of her address Miss
Broad was warmly greeted by members
of the congregation. She will speak in
several of the Portland churches during
the coming week under the auspices of
the W. C. T. U.

MUSTHND HIMSELF
Greatest Discovery Man Can
Make, Says Preacher.
LOVE'S POWER IS SUPREME
Rev. E. M. Hill Argues That Life Is
JVever Given Over to Dictates
of Reason as Final
Arbiter.
In speaking on "The young Man "Who
Found Himself, at the Taylor-Street
Methodist Church last night. Rev. Everett
M. Hill said that the greatest problem of
the day is not the tariff question, nor the
money question, nor even the u press ion
of evil, but how the race shall come to
an understanding of itself. He said in
part: .
Science delves into the earthy, climbs up
to the stars, throttles gravitation and en
slaves the lightning In order to find the
origin of man. Books by the thousand are
written to prove this origin, or that origin.
All nature is ransacked to find analogies
that will demonstrate the way by which
mankind arrived on this planet, and still we
are in darkness.
But supposing we should discover the ex
act turnpike by which huirmnlty came walk
ing into the light, what would It signify?
Too long have men been asking. "Can any
good thing come out of Nazareth ?" The
source does not prove the vaiue of anything.
The Intrinsic worth Is that which speaks.
That does not mean that a man Is as large
as his weight. Real values are not meas
ured by avoirdupois nor by their origin.
Whether the evolutionist or the creationist
Is right matters not the wave of a baby's
hand, but It does matter whether a man Is a
man. He will never discover himself in his
genuine and glorious manhood until he dis
covers God In the sublimity of his Godhood.
Three Phases of Life.
There are three phases in the life of a
normal human being. They are the world
consciousness, the Race consciousness,
and the God consciousness. World
consciousness Is the condition of the
Infant when he has discovered the objective
world about him. He finds nls hands, but
knows not that they are his. They are as
any other Implement which he Is able to
grasp. He would take the redhot stove into
his lap and enjoy it for himself. He sees
the moon and cries for It, believing that It
Is for his pleasure. All the things that
come within the range of his eyes are but
wonderful playthings made for him. He is
conscious of a world about him and he
revels in It. This world consciousness lasts
for several years. There seems to be little
thought of the rights of others. Everyone
and everything seem to be as tools for the
boy and girl.
Race consciousness comes when the boy -or
girl becomes conscious of himself or herself.
This ts the bashful time, when the child
suffers the torments of the damned. The
boy's feet seem as large as those of an ele
phant, and his hands hang by his side like
10-pound hams. This is the danger time of
life, the time when slights are felt as the
most awful things possible, ft la now that
life seems not worth living, for the very
consciousness of self Is terryfylng.
Every function of the body calls out to
the child that he is Its owner, and so the
burden of self-consciousness grows. It is a
time when self is terrified at self, and

Cal.. this week and of that number 100
will go from Klamath county. The plan
of running a special excursion train for
the accommodation of the delegates was
abandoned when It was learned that tho
majority of the representatives from this
state were golrg at different times and ex
pected to return at their own convenience.
The delegates from Klamath county
adopted a badge which consists of a green
satin ribbon, green being the official color
of the convention, about seven Inches long,
surmounted by a pin on the face of which
Is a medallion showing clasped hands in col
ors. At the top in gold lettering is the
word "Oregon," In the middle a represen
tation of tho state seal and on the lower
panel the words: "Irrigation Congress, Sac
ramento, Cal., September 2-7. 1907." The
other delegates from this state wore the
identical badge with the exception that the
word "Oregon" wai substituted for Klam

To the symmetrical man comes also the
God consciousness. Now the child sees the
glory of the Btars as the lights that shine In
the chandelier about the throne of the Most
Htgh. Every dewdrop Is a diamond glisten
ing on the robe of Deity. The glory of the
Autumn foliage ts the garment of God In Its
purple and gold and scarlet of royalty.
Earth Is a sanctuary, and the heavens are

the praises of the King upon the throne.
It Is the glad day in the lire of the young
man or the young woman.
If this time comes not, or Is made sport
of. and no kindly hand guides through the
ecstacy of It all to the God who Is really
behind It. life will become a mere mathe
matical tshle. a thing that is measured by
rational proofs and demonstrations. When
it has come to this, life has lost all that is
really valuable within it.
On the morning of the resurrection, when
Christ appeared to the assembled disciples
In the upper chamber. Thomas was not
with them. The reason for It was probably
that he was discouraged and despairing
When told that the Lord had appeared to
the'lO. 'he said he would only believe when
he could thrust his hand Into the Savior's
wunded side. He demanded the rational
proof. But when Christ really appeared the
second time to the disciples. Thomas being
there, he exclaimed, "My Lord and my
God!"
Accepted Heart's Answer.
He had demanded a mathematical dem
onstration to satisfy the longings of his
heart, but when the demonstration was of
fered him he was satisfied with the answer
of the heart, and did not take advantage
of the answer to the reason. Thomas had
found himself, and he did this by looking
into the face of Christ, the one person whom
he loved with all his heart.
Men demand demonstration. They say
that they must have arguments that will
convince the reason or tney will not sur
render. They say that In religion, as in
business, they must be convinced In order
to buy stock In the concern. They affirm
that the reason IS the supreme guide In the
affairs of this world, and must Initiate In
the matter of the next, but they know not
what they say when they demand these
things.
Is business run on the basis of the reason
being satisfied before It Is undertaken? Nay,
verily, is marriage, the very foundation of
happiness and prosperity, entered Into be
cause the reason is made the judge? Hard
ly, la education, eves, the cultivation of
this god-like faculty of reason, founded
upon a reasoned-out proof ? Seldom or
never
Reason Xot Final Arbiter.
Life Is nowhere given over to the dictates
of reason as the final arbiter. I am con
vinced that reason ought more to be coun
seled with than It is In all these matters,
but I am sure that none of these things
could be given up to the realm of the mind
and the result be satisfactory. It is not the
mind that sways men, but the heart. Men
do not go Into the business that will bring
the largest returns at the outset, but Into
that which they like the best.
Tls love that makes the world go
round." When a man has learned to love
there Is a chance for him to, grow In char
acter, for this virtue draws out all the best
that Is In hm.
Coleridge says, "I believe the Bible be
cause it finds me In my deepest nature,
which no other book can do." So looking
into the face of Christ makes it possible
for us to find ourselves. The greatest dis
covery a man can make is to find himself,
and no man will ever be able to find himself
otherwise than through looking into the
face of one whom he perfectly loxes.
LABORER IS CALLED BY GOD
His Task Xo Less Worthy Than Thai
of .Minister.
"The Call and Inspiration of Life's
Common Task" was the subject of the
sermon delivered by Dr. Charles Gorman
Richards, of Sterling. 111., at the First
Prysbyterian Church last night. He said
In part:
"We grant that the Inspiration of the
Divine call has been given to the few of
every time and age, but my text, found
In Ex. 31:1-5, teaches that the call to the
task of the laboring man la as much the
call of God as Is that to the ministry.
Worship Is not limited to nymns and
prayers and sermons. We may be called
to worship God with the tool which
moulds the marble. '
"In a study of the world's service we
need to take account of Industrial devel
opment as a part of God's plan for the
work of man and the possibility for
service. The business world may be a
great power for good In more ways than
one, but we need to keep in mind that
money is to be used and not worshipped.
Riches without righteousness are of
little worth.
"We should consecrate all llfe'B en
deavors and achievements to the glory
of the Creator, and to the betterment
of mankind. We should realize that
great privileges bring with them great
responsibilities."

PILL DISTINCT NEED
Father Thompson Defends the
Parochial Schools.
SUPPLY MORAL TRAINING
Priest Says Public Educational Sys
tem in United States Has Not
Proved a Complete Success
After a Thorough. Trial.
"The Necessity for Parochial Schools"
was the subject of the sermon yesterday
morning at the Cathedral. Rev. George
Thompson told his hearers that the train
ing of the heart should go with that of
the mind, that the child should bo trained
In the ways of righteousness at the same
time' that his mind Is being developed.
Father Thompson said in part:
Bince the educators of the country are
Kenerally agreed that the present pnblio
school system Is Inadequate, the supporters
of the parochial school system may expect
a fair hearing for their cause. If the aim
of true culture Is to make reason and the
will of God prevail. It is evident that men's
souls must be provided with something
more strengthening than the dry husks of
Becular training. The present public school
system of the country has had a fair trial,
and many thoughtful educators are not sat
isfied with Its results. We are rot gradu
ating the type of men. which should be
the distinguishing feature of Christian
civilization. Bide by side with Intellectual
growth, we are foroed to recognise a wide
spread enfeebling of moral character. The
satisfactory explanation of this faot Is to
be found in the neglect of religious traln-
ing-
While there are no "devotional statistics"
available, which would give us a full view
of the private piety of the masses, it Is safe
to assume that even so elementary a duty
as dally prater, Is far from being a uni
versal custom. Spirituality Is on the de
cline. That men do not go to churoh Is the
lament of many a,ti unheeded pulpit. The
form of conduct accepted by the world at
large can hardly be considered compatible
with the will of Ood. Men are too fre
quently finding convenient distinctions be
tween right and wrong in the laws framed
by councils and legislatures, and no matter
how Iniquitous the transaction may be
from the standpoint of Divine Justice. Jf it
passes muster In the courts.
There ts no thought of a future and more
exacting tribunal. Mere cultivation of the
Intellect is not giving society the right
kind of men. Mental training enhances a
man's powers, but It does not give him
the moral force necessary to withstand the
force of passion and temptation.
The parochial school system of the Cath
olic Church is the, product of the twofold
conviction that being good Is man's chief
business In life, and that goodness can be
acquired only through religious instruction
coupled with dally practice. The Catholic
Church believes that the child should go
through the years of his school life under
the fostering care of spiritual guides: that
his mind shoul be filled with spiritual
Ideals, and that by salutary discipline his
thoughts, words and deeds, should be
brought Into perfect harmony with the
principles he is taught to cherish. Virtue
is acquired by dint of practice. An hour
at the piano does not make a musician, and
a fervent "amen" does, not generate a sub
stantial Christian character.
We cannot eliminate rejlglon from our
school curricula and at the same time fos
ter the reasonable hope that we are train
ing children In the way of purity. Justice
and truth. Responsibility to God for every
deed done In the flesh Is a truth which
must be. written indelibly on the tablets of
the human conscience, and children must
be made to know and feel that spiritual
perfection Is the acme of human greatness.
The end of religious training the mis
sion of the parochial school. Is to bring
men Into - Intimate and conscious union
with their Creator and future Judge. It
sets personal holiness as the keystone of
the arch of life. It makes men ambitious
for those better, things which are the de
light of the virtuous an earth, and the
pleasure ot God in Heaven. The parochial
school discredits no knowledge which makes
for the betterment of our earthly existence,
but It honors above else the rights of God,
and bids men to respect them, that their
lives may be successful both In time And
eternity.
Wants Farming Taught at Ct. A. C.
PORTLAND, Aug. 81. (To the Editor.)
Some time ago The Oregonlan was kind
enough to print a few random remarks of
mine on the present condition at the Ore
gon Agricultural College, where the farmers
of the state are paying taxes to support an
institution that Is supposed to teach agri
culture, but In reality teaches engineering
to a majority of its students, and subordi
nates, the Instruction on agricultural prac
tice. B. W. Kern, writing under the date of
August IS. has recently favored The Ore
gonlan with a letter which, in m measure,
may be treated as a reply to my communi
cation. Mr. Kern says that the college has
been unjustly treated, and that it has a
fine plant and equipment. This I never
doubted. "The O. A. C. has four courses
of engineering mining, civil, electrical and

WHAT YOU MUST PAY FOR
A Though My Experience Is Vastly Better,
as ti '"a y- ii w TM .1
my rees Are Keany Less man tne.
Average Doctor Charges.
The value of experience depends not so much
' upon its volume as upon its quality. A thou
sand years of inaccurate practice "would make
no physician more proficient. Though my ex
perience is considerable in quantity, its value
lies in the fact that it is experience of the
higher o r d e r experience acquired through
careful and conscientious practice, proven sci
entific by an unapproached record of perma
nent cures. I have for seventeen years been
curing all diseases peculiar to men, and each
one of these years has been crowded full of
careful study and sound, good experience.
In Simple
Cases My
Fee Is
Varicocele
I cure varicocele. I do no cut
ting" whatever, nor do. I employ
caustic. I have replaced these
harsh methods by a mild and gen
tle treatment that accomplishes
the work thoroughly, without pain
and without detaining- the patient
from business.
Contracted Disorders
I cure Contracted Diseases thor
oughly and in less time than is
commonly required to even cure
partially. Do not endanger your
health and power by relying upon
patent nostrums or other uncer
tain measures.
Specific Blood Poison
My treatment for Specific Blood
Poison neutralizes and eliminates
the very last taint of virus from
the system, and all this is ac
complished without the use of
dangerous minerals. I afford you
a complete and permanent cure.
i Stricture
I cure stricture by a method that
causes the obstructing tissue to
dissolve away. No cutting, dilat
ing, no pain.
EXAMINATION FREE
I offer not only Free Consultation and Advice, but to every case that
comes to me I will make a Careful Examination and diagnosis without
charge. No ailing man should neglect this opportunity to get expert
opinlor. about this trouble. If you cannot call, write for Diagnosis
Chart. My offices are open all day from 9 A. M. to 9 P. M., and Sun
days from 10 to 1.

mechanical. Each course is taught by com
petent teachers," observes Mr. Kern. He
then describes the equipment, but never a
word is said in his whole letter about the
agricultural work the college Is doing. Just
what this work amounts to may be gathered
when it Is understood that last year there
were in all 833 students, of which but SO
were taking agricultural -courses. This la
only" about 10 per cent.
I maintain that the Agricultural College
should teach agriculture to more than. 10
per cent of its students. "What Oregon
wants Is good farmers who can improve the
soil. Engineering graduates all over the
country are comparatively plentiful. It Is
true, good ones command high salaries, but
there seem to be enough to supply the de
mand. Oregon wants good farmers, and
believes that the O. A. C. should turn them
out. H. L. TICHERT.
Body of Missing Hunter Found.
. MONTESANO, Wash., Sept. J. (Spe
cial.) The body of an Italian was
found by a fisherman In the Wynooehe
River west of here yesterday. The
body is supposed to be that of
Rafaello Cessandrl, who disappeared
last April. He had gone hunting with
a partner and the partner returned
without him. The Coroner arrived yes
terday morning, but had to wait until
the tide went out before the body
could be recovered.
DOCTORS THAT CAN CURE MEN
In selecting a physician or specialist, when in need , of one, some
conslleration and thought should be given to the qualifications, experi
ence and length of time an institute or medical man has been located
In the city. It stands to reason that an institution that has stood the
test of time and numbers its cures by the thousands is far superior to
mushroom institutions that spring up in a night, last a few months and
are gone. We have been curing men 27 years and are the oldest special

Weakness"
The physician who offers you a
course of treatment consisting of
piils and tonics is a physician em
ploying tho old methods that have
always failed. His remedies may
stimulate temporarily, but the
ultimate result will be disappoint
ing. I cure "weakness" per
manently because I have ascer
tained the true nature of the dis
order. In more than 90 per cent
of the cases a slightly Inflamed or
congested state of the prostate
gland is wholly responsible for
the functional derangement. My
treatment is directed toward re
storing the prostate to its normal
condition, and the "weakness" in
variably disappears. I employ
local measures exclusively. I am
the only physician treating by
this method, because I am the dis
coverer'of the necessity for such
a method, as well as the originat
or of the treatment. My ability
to really cure "weakness" has
placed me foremost among spe
cialists treating men's diseases
and has brought me patients from
all quarters of the American con
tinent. VICTOR MANGANESE STEEL
