STORES TO HAVE BOOTHS Prominent Women and Girls ot Portland Will Have Charge of Sales Money Goes to Visiting Xurse Association to Spend. "We must care for the consumptive In the rlgrht place. In the right way. and at the right time, until he is cured, instead of, as now, in the wrong place, in the wrong way, at the wrong time, until he Is dead." This Is the conclu sion arrived at by the Visiting Nurse Association in its anti-tuberculosis campaign, which Includes the sale of Red Cross stamps and postal cards. This year 1.000,000 stamps, or stick ers, and 10.000 postal cards will be put on sale throughout Oregon. Within the next few days booths will be opened in the department stores and at Wood ard, Clarke & Co.'s drugstore. Prom inent matrons and maids will have charge of these stamp and postal card sales. At Olds, Wortraan & King's, Mrs. James Mcl. Wood will direct the nale; at Meier & Frank's, Mrs. David Honeyman, and at Lipman, Wolfe & Co.'s, Miss Susan Clarke. Miss Mai Hirsch will have charge of the booth at Woodard, Clarke & Co.'s The booth at the postpffice has already been in working order, for several days. The demand for stamps has been heavy at the Visiting Nurse Associa tion's headquarters, room 601 Medical tmlldlng, where Miss Gilbert Is In at tendance. The Federation of Women's Clubs Is active throughout the state, and the Tuesday Afternoon Club, which was the banner club last year In stamp sales, has again begun an active cam paign.. These stamps do not take the place of postage, but are decorative stickers to be placed on packages or letters. ZeLSt year 2000 was cleared In Port land by their sale, and had the com mittee not run out of stamps the sum would have been larger. Huge posters have been hung . an nouncing the campaign, and reproduc tions of the stamp are being shown at the vaudeville houses and moving pic ture shows. Today general committees are mak ing a canvass of the city. Several will visit the various office buildings, others will make a store-to-store can vass among' business firms. A small percentage of the. proceeds derived from the sale will be sent to the Na tional Red Cross Society to cover ex penses, and the rest will be used en tirely for the care of tubercular poor in Oregon. Cases of phthisis in the incipient stage are sent to the Open Air Sana torium at Mllwaukle and to Oak Grove. Almost all the cases sent there in the past year have either recovered or aa improving rapidly. Patients who are unable to leave their homes, or are In the last hopeless stage of the disease, are given comfort and the necessities, raised last year through the Red Cross Christmas stamps: Receipts $1,740.75 Expenditures, beginning February Portland Open Air Sanitarium $1,119.60 Oak Grove Sanitarium. .. ... ...... . 233.83 Supplies and drugs 43. so Nurse's salary (5 months) 300.00 .Special. care and ambulance 43.50 Total f 1,740.75 FIREMEN ASK FOR TIE AVANT 24 HOURS' LIBERTY IN STEAD OF ie. - Mayor Simon. I am In sympathy with the firemen in their request for more liberty, but the cost of maintaining the department is already so great I do not feel warranted in adding to it.

The world's pianists are hereafter to play in Portland.

A soldier who has suffered all kinds of hardships and their consequent ills, says that he has found almost lnstast relief from rheumatism, lumbago and kidney trouble by procuring from his druggist two ounces of Salerene and four ounces pure olive oil, thoroughly mixed and taken in two teaspoonful doses every 3 to 4 hours until relieved, one teaspoonful three times a day. Sicily lost 60,000 inhabitants by earth quake In 1693. Reduction in Pay Would Meet With Favor. Mayor Simon yesterday took up with Chief Campbell the request of members of the fire department for 12 hours a week liberty in addition to the 12 hours now granted. The Mayor favors the petition, which he thinks Is fair, but he will investigate the request of "the Chief to employ' more men to take the places of those who are oft duty. It is regarded as probable that the firemen will eventually secure what they have asked for. The Mayor asked Chief Campbell to find out If the firemen will accept a slight reduction in their pay, if the city grants them additional time off. The financial side of the question greatly troubles Mayor Simon, for the cost of operating the Fire Department is enormous. Chief Campbell told the Mayor It will require $33,000 a year more to employ relief men. If the 12 extra hours a week are granted, but the Mayor Is not yet satisfied this Item Is necessary. As at present organized, the Fire Department, the most expensive of all the city government's branches, costs more than $400,000 annually. Chief Campbell Insists upon a full comple ment of officers and men for every sta tion, no matter how remote it may be. This system calls for one chief, one assistant chief, three battalion chiefs, 28 captains, 25 lieutenants and 172 men. The Chief's salary Is' $225 a month; Assistant Chief, $175; Battalion Chiefs, $150 each; captains, $115; lieutenants. $110. and the men $100 each. The monthly payroll aggregates $24,974. New companies are constantly being added to the department, two being un der way at this time; and more are contemplated. It is the belief of some who have investigated the situation that there are too many officers in the department drawing large salaries, and that some of them could be dis pensed with without Injuring the ser vice. Many companies do not answer a call a month, and the policy of main taining a captain and a lieutenant at each of these is criticized. "I do not think that 12 hours a week off duty Is enough for any many," said 1 BABY SHOW IS TUESDAY Feature of House Beautiful Show Expected to Attract. Next Tuesday aftornoon at the Ar mory a parade and exhibition of ort ,land's finest babies will be held. This is the feature of the second day's ex hibition of the House Beautiful show under the auspices of the People's In stitute of Portland.

After hanging fire for several weeks the deal for the sale of the property at me soutneast corner of Park and Main streets was consummated yester day through the agency of D. Parker Bryon & Co.. when Mrs. Hedwig Smith purchased the quarter block from A. H. Maegly, H. H. Prouty and T. J. Howe for $42,250. The site was purchased as a location for a palatial apartment-hotel which will be erected to a height of ten stories and which will be the finest building of this nature by all odds in Portland, costing In the neighborhood of $200,000. iim property m question is at present occupied with two old houses which bring in but a nominal rental. These will be removed at once. The property has been transferred a number of times during the last year. The site purchased is in two separate parcels. The corner property was owned by II. H. Prouty and T. J. Rowe and was sold for $25,500. It was purchased by them in March from E. T. Ames for $22,000, who in turn bought It In January from Mrs. Rudolph Becker for $19,500. The inside property was bought in December, 1908. by the Col lege Endowment Association from Jerry Bronaugh for $13,000, who In turn had purchased It 26 days previous for $10,000, and Is now transferred at $16,750. These sales were all made through the agency of D. Parker Bryon & Co. Mr. Maegly Is the representa tive of the College Endowment Asso ciation in the deal. FRANK L. SMITH M EAT CO. 4 ' FIGHTING THE BEEF TRUST. 22 MARKETS. T?il fiSht of onrs with the Beef Trust concerns every man, woman and child in town. If we were not here doing this work, you would pay from 40c to 60c per pound for the very cuts of meat we are selling for 10c per pound. Just ask some of your friends from the East about it. They will tell you the Beef Trust has ground down and all but starved the people of the East. It has been merciless there, and it would do likewise here if it could hamper Smith. We ask all our customers to be more than careful when they come to our Alder-Street Market to avoid the Beef Trust's markets down there. See that Smith's name is over the door then come in.
