SCORNS GERMAN GOWNS
Crown Princess Incurs Kaiser's
f Wrath. Buying French Directoire.
BERLIN. Dec. B.(Siecial.) Crown
Princess Cecilie. who. though very
young, is a womnn with a will of her
own. haw again aroused the wrath of
her Imperial father-in-law by positively
refusing to wear gowns made In Ger
many. She asserts that all German-
made gowns are too heavy and too
clumsy, that the German taste In dress
Is atrocious and that the only smartly
dressed women are the American and
Parisian.
A few days ago she sent for Mme. Pa
quln. the famous Parisian modtste, to
come to Berlin Immediately with a num
ber of gowns, and. to make her shocking
disobedience complete, she chose three
directoire gowns the like or which hava
never been seen here. On was a beige
face directoire tailor-made costume,
while the other was a dazzling evening
gown made of sliver gray mousseline da
sole, edged with pink chiffon velvet
The underskirt is of a deep, soft pink
satin, the whole effect' being not unlike
old Dresden china. The corsage of the
third quite simple directoire evening
gown in white satin Is composed of pink
rosebuds clustered together.
It Is thought that the Kaiser will for
bid her to appear at court in any of
these creations, which are. however, very
much admired by her husband. Crown

A. D. Charlton, assistant general pas

has just returned from a trip through
the Grangeville country, where he ar
ranged the new schedule. He was a
passenger on the first train to run over
the newly completed Lewiston-Vollmer-GrangevMe
branch, a line 80 miles in
length. . ,
"Manv people have been living lnt ..iat
country" for the past 40 years who never
saw a railroad train." said Mr. Charlton
yesterdav. "Schools were dismissed to
give the children an opportunity to see
the train. The children came down '.he
track two miles to meet the train and
ran alongside back to Grangevllle. The
train slowed down to allow the children
to keep up. At Grangevllle the people
Inspected the whole train and joined
heartily In the celebration attendant
upon opening the line.
"The Camas Prairie district Is one of
the richest sections of the whole United
States. It produces vast amounts of
wheat and other agricultural products,
as well as turning out large herds -f
cattle every year. Besides, the new rail
road opens up a way to the mining dis
tricts in Idaho, among them being the
Buffalo Hump group, and many others.
The completion of the new line brings
that whole district nearer to Portland
and will open up a market for Portland
goods."

the Milwaukie case. Milwaukie con
tends the company discriminates
against it by charging 10 cents, while
charging 5 cents to St. John and Lents.
and the railroad company contends the
cases are not parallel and that it can
not maintain car service to Milwaukie
on a 5-cent fare basis.

Makes Gloomy Predictions Regard
ing American Flag on Pacific
Unless Subsidy Given.
That the American flag will have
disappeared from Pacific Ocean ship
ping within the next eight years' is the
prophecy made by R. P. Schwerln, vice
president and manager of the Harriman
water lines. Mr. Schwerln reached the
city yesterday In his private car from
San Francisco. He will remain here
until Friday. With him are G. L. Blair
and A. F. Fry., officials of the Harriman
steamship line's. .
For this condition. Mr. Schwerln
blames the Government for not provid
ing subsidies as other nations do, and
for diversion of freight to foreign lines
by Americans.
"Business on our lines was never so
bad as it is now," declared Mr. Schwer
ln last night. "Our steamers out of
San Francisco last year lost $468,000,
and six months of the present year they
were run at a loss of 265.000. During
September we went $105,000 behind and
November added a deficit of $68,000.
"It takes $100,000 to run a big trans
pacific liner on a single round trip. The
Japanese government gives a subsidy
amounting to $76,000 to vessels carry
ing the Japanese flag. This $75,000
must be made up in freight and pas
sengers by the American steamers If
they are to compete with the Japanese
lines.
"We have one shipper In Portland
who has consistently supported our
line. He - is the only one. Portland
people have never Interested them
selves in the support of the line. If
there Is a fraction of a cent difference
on some other line. Portland people do
not hesitate to go there with their
freight, and they take lots of It to com

now. The countries on the other side

fact is China is not buying any. Cot

to fiivery Man
By "strength" I mean ambition, vim and
the ability to enjoy all the pleasures of life.
If you are weak, you not only endure all the
physical tortures of the disease itself, but
you suffer from the consciousness that your
strength is ' gradually but surely waning
away. The horrors of this thought Increase
as your weakness glows. It has been cor
rectly estimated that one man in every
four is afflicted with some form of vital
weakness. . This weakness taps the very
fountain source of life. It is ever persist
ent, drawing continually on the resources
of bodily strength, until the victim becomes
a total wreck, or, happily, avails himself
of the CERTAIN Cl'KE I offer. My. treat
ment is his oniy hope. It Is to me one of the
most pathetic of thoughts that there are
thousands of afflicted men, suffering all the
ravages of weakness, who may never hear
of the hope I offer in my treatment, and must
therefore continue to suffer on in

offer you a positive and lasting cure? Knowing of
the certain cure assured you In Its application. It Is

Why Other Doctors Do Not Cure
I want you to notice in particular how silent other specialists are on
the subject of Men's WEAKNESS. They pass the subject over because
they can offer no positive cure for it. Those who do undertake to treat
it resort to powerful drugs, elastic belts or some, other mechanical clap
trap, which, Instead of curing, only aggravate the aliment. Nearly every
day I am .called upon to treat cases that other specialists or family
physicians have treated and failed to cure. . In nearly every instance 1
find it necessary to first rid the patient of almr.st ruinous effects of the
treatments they have received at the hands of unskilled medical men.
But I guarantee to cure every man whose case I accept for treatment. I
make it a strict rule to treat no Incurable cases, and I am always willing
to wait for my fee until a cure is effected."
Ninety-nine cases' lii a hundred are curable. The Incurable cases are
those that have been neglected or experimented upon by some incom
petent doctor.. Don't wait until yoiir case is beyond hope. Come to me
while a cure is certain.
What Weakness Is
I discovered many years ago that Weakness, so called, is merely an
inflamed and congested condition of the prostate gland; that when this
important gland is thus diseased the result is a tremendous loss of
energy, which, sooner or later, involves all the vital processes, weakens
the heart, impairs the stomach, kidneys and liver, vitiates the digestive
functions, depletes the nervous system and eventually wrecks both mind
and body.
As soon as I made this discovery I set to work to devise a Treatment
that would cure weakness and restore the system to Its former buoyancy
and vital power. Afer years of untiring effort and a great expenditure
of time and money, I perfected the successful treatment I employ today.
Why My Treatment Cures
There are several reasons why my treatment never fails to cure
Weakness in men. The method I use is direct a-id positive, the medicine
being applied locally. Its, effects, so administered, are almost immedi
ate, since it is at once absorbed by the tissues, which are thus stimu
lated to healthy action, throwing off the poisonous secretions, overcom
ing inflammation and congestion and clearing the blood vessels and
capillaries so that they can supply nutrition tc the affected region. Come
to my office today, or at the earliest possible moment. It will cost you
nothing to talk the matter over with me. I will give you expert
