our Oregon girls are concerned, for we
raise rose girls, not corn huskers. -

! Pneumonia Is
And
, According to mortality statistics pneu
monia is one of the most frequent and
fatal diseases in the range of medicine.
Dr. James Alexander Lindsay, an au
thority on diseases of the lungs, saya
that, while pneumonia may be a primary
condition, it may also be secondary to
other conditions, such as bronchitis, in
fluenza, some specific fever, etc.
A common cold is most liable' lo de
velop pneumonia. If neglected. The at
tendant cough Irritates the air passages
and forms an Inflammatory exudate
which interferes with the free entrance
of air.
To break up a cold quickly and cure
any cough that Is curable, there is
nothing so effective as a mixture of two
ounces of glycerine, a half-ounce of Vir
gin Oil of Pine and eight ounces of good
whisky. Mix thoroughly and take a tea
spoonful every four hours. Five ounces
of tincture of Cinchona compound can be
used in place of the whisky with the
same effect.
A STRONG
INDORSEMENT OF
NEWBRO'S
HERPICIDE
"Having suffered for years with a very ob
stinate case of dandruff and falling hair, I had
. almost despaired when a lady friend induced
me to try Newbro's Herpicide. Now after a
thorough trial I cannot say enough in praise of -it.
From a dull, lustreless head of hair I have
now a beautiful head of glossy hair which I
can only thank Herpicide for."

"As good as Herpicide" is the familiar claim
that is made for many so-called germ-destroying
hair remedies. Newbro's Herpicide is the ORIGI
NAL remedy that kills the dandruff germ and its
wonderful success and popularity account for the
increasing number of imitations of it.

Speed of American Warships..
PORTLAND. Jan. .7. (To the Editor.)
I am surprised to learn that the United
States Navy Is behind the warships of other
nations In the matter of speed. I wonder
why this Is so? I believe that American en
gineers are the best In the business and are
as able to "deliver the goods'' as are the
naval engineers of Japan or England.
Frequent

The ingredients cost little and can be
obtained without trouble at any good
drug store. To avoid the substitution of
some inferior pine product for Virin Oil
of Pine, It is better to purchase each sep
arately and mix them at home. The
genuine Virgin Oil of Pine is put up only
in -ounee vials, each vial securely scaled
in a round wooden case with an en
graved . wrapper showing plainly the
name. Virgin Oil of Pine, compound pure,
guaranteed under the Food and Drugs
Act, of June 30, 1906, Serial No. 451, pre
pared only by Leach Chemical Co.. Cin
cinnati, O.
The oils sold in bulk and cheap imita
tions put out to resemble Virgin' Oil of
Pine in name and style of package are
ineffective for the reason that they are
largely composed of a distillation from
pine needles, or leaves, instead of from
the pine tree proper. Pine needle oil is
not Intended for internal use, and when
taken internally causes nausea. Its use
la mainly confined to the manufacture of
soap and similar purposes.
Talk, Is What
You Must Come to Us Sooner or Later.
Why Not Now?
During; my professional career I have treated and cured more MEN than any
other single physician in the Northwest, hence it is only reasonable that I can
and will cure you just as surely as you come to me. I never accept a single
case in which I do not feel and know that I can effect a sure cure, so you run
no chances of spending your time without results.
The volume of my practice has reached a proportion so great that it has
caused me to place such facilities at my command that it is as easy for me to
see 200 patients a day as it would be 50 callers. I have separate parlors, so
that everything is strictly private, and if you feel fearful of meeting some
one that you know, you can dispel the idea, for all business is carried on with
the utmost privacy. .

Then, when speed is so Important In naval
warfare, why should the fastest of our bat
tleships only make 18.B knots per hour,
when Japan has them with a record of 21
knots? And why should we allow our tor
pedo destroyers to remain at the old 20.7
knots, when England has them 30 knots?
It seems to me that our Navy costs enough
to allow a first-class service In every re
spect, and I contend that our warships
should be equal to, or excel, any other na
tion's warships because we have the men
and the money. Why should we be behind
old England and young Japan in those Im
portant matters. J. w. T.
