GREATER EFFICIENCY IS FORECAST IN CLUB UNION Julius L. Meier Thinks Consolidation Will Result in Saving of Time and Will Increase Confidence of Business Men in Subscribing to Work. TALKS OX CONSOLIDATION. NO. . jn UJIBINING of the Commercial & Club and the Chamber of Com merce to sain better co-operation should meet with the hearty ap proval of all business interests," said Julius L. Meier yesterday, "Men of large affairs, appointed on committees, will work with keener interest and In greater concentration because of the saving of time in not having to serve on similar committees in the two or ganizations. "it is assumed that great care will be exercised, in the appointment of the committees, and that those appointed will not only be exceptionally titted for the work, but will devote to the new organization the necessary amount of time and labor to bring more bene ficial results to tho coy, county and state. "Oregon wants people to cultivate and till the soil; she must build up her farming communities in order to en- large the commercial Interests of the state. "It Is to be hoped that the new er- sranization will increase to a marKea degree the effective work already ac complished by the Oregon Development League through the executive commit tee ef the Commercial Club. Some sat isfactory results have been attained; however, more concentrated effort should bring even greater results. "The greater the number of people engaged in farming, the greater will be the products, which when sent to the four corners of the earth will bring in large sume of money for general circulation. The ever increasing de mands of the farmers make possible large manufacturing industries and general commercial activity. "A consolidation such as this makes for greater efficiency, which is de manded in every organization conduct ed along the most modern theories of management. "When business institutions can sub scribe to one central source and feel that the money is gotng to be expended wisely and carefully, more will be given.

"It is to bo hoped that this same' general idea of consolidation will be carried out in our charities. I cannot refrain from mentioning at this time the splendid work which is being done by the Associated Charities, notwlthr standing the fact that our charities. generally speaking, are much disorgan ized and sadly need the bringing ot an well-minded people into the general argument for the centralizing of all charities under the auspices of an As? eociated Charities."

The following formula is highly efficient in quickly re storing in nervous exhaustion, melancholia, anxiety, timidity in venturing, dizziness, heart palpi-, tation, trembling limbs, insom nia, thinness, cold extremities, tired-all-in feeling and general inability to do those natural and rational ai-ts upon which depend a man's success and happiness in social and everyday life. The instructions for obtaining in ' three-grain tablets are sim ple, as a physician's presoription is no longer necessary, because the tablets do not oontain any opiates or habit-forming druus. Just ask for three-grain cado mene tablets, in sealed tubes, with full directions for home use. Astounding nervous force and equilibrium follow the treatment, no matter how serious the case, and the joy ef a healthy body and strong nerves is soon experienced.
