COURT HOLDS STATE
KEEPS 8-HOUR LAW
Employes at Institutions Do
Not Work Longer Than
Legal Time, Is Ruling.
MR. HOFF LOSES AGAIN
Release of Officials Is Ordered by
Justice Moore, Who Gives Opin
ion Decisions Rendered
in Oilier Actions.
SALEM, Or., March 3. (Special.)
The Supreme Court, in an opinion
given today hy Justice Moore, held that
the employes of the state institutions
do not work more than eight hours
daily and ordered that Governor West,
State Treasurer Kay and Secretary of
State Olcott, arrested at the instance
of Labor Commissioner Hoflt to test the
eight-hour law as it applies to state
institutions, be discharged from cus
tody. As a result of the decision it
probably will not be necessary to
create deticiencles for any of the state
institutions.
The Supreme' Court having decided
recently that engineers and farm hands
at the State Insane Asylum came with
in the purview of the law, the Labor
Commissioner contended that it ap
plied to all employes of the institu
tions. A different view was taken by
the-State Board of Control and the
Commissioner was asked to bring le
gal proceedings to test the law.
Just what the decision of the court
would have been had it been shown
that the employes mentioned in "the
complaint worked more than eight
hours a day is problematical, for that
point was not passed upon.
Work Is Described.
After describing in detail the work
done by the employes, the opinion says:
"The foregoing is believed to be a
fair synopsis of the services rendered
by and demanded of the employes
named. None of them, except possi
bly guards at the Penitentiary, are re
quired to perform labor outside during
inclement weather. The bookkeeper
works a few days each" month more
than the limited time, but this he does
without any request therefor, and it is
possible that if his time were occupied
eight hours a 3ay only he could per
form all the necessary labor V'thout
being obliged to work overtime at the
end or at the beginning of a month.
None of the other employes labor more
than eight hours a day except in cases
of emergency and, this being so, the
petitioners should be discharged and it
is so ordered."
After being nominally arrested, the
members of the Board of Control sued
out a writ of habeas" corpus and it was
upon this proceeding the opinion was
rendered today.
Other Cases Are Decided.
Other cases decided were as follows:
M. M. Obenchain versus Ransome-
Crummery Company, appellant, ap
pealed from Klamath, suit to recover
for services rendered; affirmed.
State versus Logan McPherson, ap

Y. Keady, appealed from Multnqmah,
motion to vacate temporary restraining
order; denied.

The Quickest, Simplest
Cough Remedy
milr and Cheaply ITlade at
Home. Saves You t2.
Ill is plan mates a pint of cough
eyrup enough to last a family a long
time. You couldn't buv as much or as
(rood coujrh syrup for $2.50.
Simple as "it is, it gives almost in1
tant relief and usually conquers an
ordinary cough in 24 hours. This ia
partly due to the fact that it is slightly
laxative, stimulates the appetite and
bas an excellent tonic effect. It is
pleasant to take children like it. An
excellent remedy, too, for whooping
cough, spasmodic croup and bronchial
asthma.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 2V4 ounces of Pinex ( fifty
cents' worth) in a pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
Pine is one of the oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Pinex is a most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
other natural healing elements. Other
preparations will not work in this
combination.
The prompt results from this mixture
have endeared it to thousands of house
wives in the United States and Canada,
which explains whv the plan has been
imitated often, but never successfully.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,
r money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. Your druggist has
Pinex, or will get it for you. Tf not.

FIGHT ON OVER WATER

Declares Supply at Faucet Is
Purest In State.
OREGON CITY, Or March 3. (Spe
cial.) Declaring that the filtered
water used in Oregon City is absolutely
pure. J. E. Hedges, secretary of the
Board of Water Commissioners,
clashed today with Dr. L. A. Morris,
chairman of the Pure Water League,
who is promoting a campaign for a
bond issue of $325,000 for a new sup
ply of water from the South Fork of
the Clackamas River.
Mr. Hedges read at length from bac
teriological authorities. He said that
not many people know what bacteria
and colon bacilli are and he. insisted
that many false and slanderous state
ments had been made against the
water supply of Oregon City. He as
serted that Oregon City has the purest
water at the faucet in the entire state.
Dr. Morris and L. Stipp controverted
the statements of Mr. Hedges. They
said the danger in the present supply
of water was in the fact that the source
was contaminated by human sewage.
Ke admitted that tho presence of some
bacteria in water did not conclusively
prove its impurity, but declared water
was in serious danger from pollution
when the source was considered.

Several years ago I suffered with
bad pains in my back. I was very rest

during the night. My limbs were
swollen and I dropped in welg-ht to 17
pounds. I consulted a well-known
Norfolk physician and he stated that
I had a very bad case of kidney
trouble.
I saw your advertisement in the pa

after he recommended it to me. After
I took three bottles, I felt greatly re

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAl
R NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.
Hair that loses its color and luster,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless. !s caused by a lack of sulphur
In the hair. Our grandmother made up
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so attrac
tive use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for a
50 cent bottle of "Wyeth"s Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy," which darkens
the hair so naturally, so evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell it has been ap
plied. Besides, it takes off dandruff,
stops scalp itching and falling hair.
You Just dampen a sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a time.
By morning the gray hail disappears;
but what delights the Indies with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is that, be
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also brings
buck the gloss and luster and gives it
an appearance of abundance. Adv.
