He also advised voting for the Democratic candidate, Frank S. Ryan, if they decided not to vote for Moxley. THEY COME, SEE AND STAY North Dakota HomeseekeTS Prompt ly Find Homes in Oregon. STANT"IBLiD. Or., Not". IS. (Special.) The most remarkable tribute to Oregon opportunities and climate yet known, dur ing the heavy snowfall which prevailed here recently. Is the fact that a special car of homeseekers from Fargo, N. D., sidetracked at Stanfield by the O. R. & X., will go no farther, but 1A returning to Dakota tonight. Of the 40 people on the car every single one either remains in Stanfield or has bought orchard land adjoining or lots in the town and is re turning to bring out his goods and fam ily. In view of the especially fine weather which has prevailed in Dakota during November and the further fact that tne present storm and snowfall here is the worst known in Umatilla County In 37 years, this Is certainly a wonderful tribute to what Oregon has to offer to the homeseekers.

Kervous breakdown may be the first sign of paralysis or some other severe nervous disorder. A tonic for the nerves is the one remedy for neurasthenic con ditions and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a nerve tonic as well as a specific for conditions that lead to several forms of paralysis. , They are, therefore, of unusual value in cases of extreme nervousness in which there is reason to believe that the trouble may progress until a disease develops that is generally regarded as incurable. Such a case was that of Mrs. W. H. Gerlach, of University Place. Station No. 5, Tacoma, Wash. She says. "About two months before the birth of my youngest son, I became greatly run down through worry and overwork in oaring for my husband.who had been seriously injured iu an accident. After the birth of the child I was completely broken down in health. My head and back ached all of the time. I had no appetite and, whenever I ate, my stom ach distressed me so that food didn't seem to do me any good. I felt so tired that I wanted to "sleep all of the time.' I had been sick only a few weeks when I began to notice a numb, creeping-like sensation in my hands and feet. These spells lasted for about five minutes or so at first but gradually lasted longer until I would feel them for a whole day. My hands and feet became colorless and dead like. There was no feeling In them and I could hardly write or do any work with them. The numbness was worse during damp weather or when I was ex tra tired. "I was under a doctor's care for over a year and, when the numbness began, he said I was in danger of paralysis. He treated me with electricity for several weeks but he did not help me. Then I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as I liappened to read of a case, like mine, which they had cured. I gave them a thorough trial and round they were helping me for I grew stronger in every way. The numbness finally left me and I was entirely cured. I have been strong and well since." The remedy which gave Mrs. Gerlach complete- health can be obtained at any drug store or direct from the Dr. Wil liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., at 50 cents per box ; six boxes for $2. 50. and those of the Yee family are ready for war, and the butchers of the quarter are driving a thriving trade in wildcat meat.

Impracticable, declares the antiquated practitioner of dentistry. Conceit has. caused manv professional men of pros pective aliility to retrograde rather than progress. The sages of the ante deluvian age, who lived to be hundreds of years old at tne time oi tneir u mise. could have learned something more, even at the ripe old age of 30 and 600 years. Had the calamity howl ers in this profession spent as much time learning that the ALVEOLAIt METHOD of dentistry was not a myth Instead of knocking, that old rani shackle Jade, hard times, would not perhaps be chasing him today. The scoffer who has an aversion for progress Is not likely to climb to heaven without a ladder. His pinnacle of fame is the. top of the bottom rung, and whila IKe endures he will remain there. In cases where all the teeth are gone we can do nothing except furnish a per fect and perfect-fitting plate, some thing that most dentists can't do. But if two or more teeth are left in either jaw we can restore all those that are missing bv the Alveolar Method, and give a patient a set of teeth that are so near natures that the loss of tlie natural teeth will scarcely be noticed. The work is practically painless, calls for no suigical operation. Is not teeth implantation, and when done, is perma nent. The wearer, can UMe tiie Alveolar Teeth with almost as much satisfaction as if thev had grown in his jaws, and we defy anv one. dentist or layman, to tell them from the most beautiful and perfect natural teeth. Pyorrhea, the most dreaded disease of the dental profession, commonly known as Riggs' disease (loose teeth), a disease that dentists as a whole havo given up as incurable, we claim to cure and guarantee the cure to be perma nent. We have hundreds of cases to refer to right here In this city and state. There is seldom A day that we do not discharge one or more patients from our office as cured of this awful disease.
