SIX BABIES SOLD YESTERDAY Stir Created in Musical Circles by Extraordinary Sale. ONE GOES FOR $325.00 Nearly Forty Beautiful Baby Grands and Concert Grands Offered for Prices of Uprights Old Pianos Will Be Taken in Part Payment Thirty-Three Months Given in Which to Pay. Musical circles have been unusually quiet around Portland for the last two weeks, possibly on account of many music-lovers sojourning at various Summer resorts. But the placing of nearlv 40 allghtlv used Baby Grand and Concert Grand Pianos on sale at prices ordinarily paid for Upright pianos, was an event of too much importance to be overlooked. As a result, yesterday six Baby Grands found new homes, and several times that many prospective purchas ers came to Inspect the exhibit. Two out of the six proud owners frankly confessed that they had dream ed of some dav buvtnr a real Grand I piano, but never thought It possible to pur.-nase one tor tne same price an Upright would cost. Another lady said she had been treasuring her old aquare piano for five years hoping that just such a chance aa this would come, but had almost got tired of waiting, and It seemed too good to be true. She se cured a splendid Sohmer Grand Piano and was silowed $S0 for her used piano toward payment of the Grand. One of the city's prominent music-teachers could not decide whlcb deserved the most appreciation, the unusual value or the beautiful tone and action of these Instruments, saying he really pre ferred a sllghtiy-used Instrument to a brand new one and that Instruments selected for concerts were Invariably the best. As Ellers Music House desired to start the coming musical season with a complete equipment of new Instru ments, all those used in last season's concerts snd recitals, as well as some taken In exchange recently for larger Grands and Welte Mignons from pri vate homes, have now been placed on sale at really ridiculously low prices. Even as little as $325 will buy a Baby Grand In this sale. Nearly every celebrated make Is represented. In cluding two Weher Baby Grands, regu larly sold at 1750 and IS50. now for J300 less; an elegant $825 Decker Baby Grand for $S2.i, a superb Steck Quarter Grand for $535. a Pease Quarter Grand for one-th'rd discount, an $800 magnificent- Hallet Davis. Empress design, for J5B; three Chlckerlng Par lor Grands and two Chlckerlng Quar ter Grands at a discount of 33 1-3 per cent; one elegant rosewood $1000 Kim hall Grand for 5S0. a 1150Lester Grand for $690. three Knabes, one Stelnway and one Kfanlch & Bach Grand at exactly one-half their reg ular retail value, making sale prices $425. $475. $535 and $567.60. Several large Concerts and Parlor Grands of the above makea at equal reductions In price. To own one of these Grand Pianos is to possess the cllmnx of attainment in piano-making. In none but the Grand Piano is It possible to produce the vol ume of tone, the deep sustaining bass and the liquid yet brilliant treble ef fects, nor the pedal and touch ad vantages. No school, no tescher or student of music, who seeks the highest attain ment In music, should be without a Grand Piano, and there Is no neces sity of doing so longer, when It is pos sible to purchase a Grand Piano for the price of an Upright. A very few days more ought to see the limited number of these Grands ex hausted. No more need be said to those even ever so little interested. These Instruments are now displayed at our retail store at 351-353-355 Washington street, Ellers Music House. Oregon's Home Concern.

Waitsurg, Huntsville and tributary country in the Touchet Valley are threatened with (t typhoid Smooth, healthy skins are a rarity in Summer. Most persons are an noyed with pimples, boils, rashes or eruptions, while others suffer more severely with Eczema, Acne, Tetter, Salt Rheum, or some kindred skin disease. All skin affections come from humors and acids in the circulation. The blood, as it circulates through the system, deposits these acids and humors in the sensitive membranous flesh which lies just beneath the outer sirrn or tissue covering the body. This acrid matter causes inflammation and a discharge which breaks through the delicate cuticle, and skin diseases are the result. To cure any skin trouble the blood must be freed from all acids and humors, and for this purpose nothing equals 8. S. S. This great blood purifier goes down into the circulation and completely removes every particle of impurity, enriches the blood and in this way permanently cures skin diseases. S. S.
