It Is proposed to rent well-located quarters for a full exhibit of all wild life In Oregon, such as birds, ani mals, etc Already the Commission Is In possession of a fine collection of pheasants and other stuffed birds. Probably, also, live pheasants and other birds will be on exhibition, and If practicable, something in the way of a minature fish hatchery, or at least tanks, with live Oregon fish, will be on display. This, reinforced with photographs and fullest obtainable data of Oregon's fish and game re sources, would make a .valuable and interesting exhibit.

TJmit Put on Mail for Belgium. WASHINGTON, Axis. 11. Mail for NEW DANGERS OF CONSTIPATSON A recent issue of the New York Times sits: "Recent resesrehes of Prof. Metchnikoff snd others have led doctors to suppose that many conditions of chronic ill health, nervous debility, rheumatism and other disorders are due to poisoning; set up by unhealthy conditions in the Large Intes tine, and it has even been suggested that the lowering: of the vitality resulting from such poisoning is favorable to the develop ment of Cancer and Tuberculosis. "At Guy's Hospital Sir William Arbuth not Lane decided on the heroic plan of re moving the diseased organ. A child who appeared in the final stage of what was believed to be an, incurable form of tuber cular joint disease was operated on. The Lower Intestine, with the exception of nine inches, was removed, and the portion left was joined to the Smaller Intestine. "The result was astonishing. In a week's time the internal organs resumed all their normal functions, and in a few weeks the patient was apparently in perfect health." The Lower Intestine can never get into this condition if Internal Baths are used. The "J. B. L. Cascade" cleanses the Lower Intestine its entire length thoroughly with pure warm water and removes all this poi sonous waste which is such a menace to health. It is Nature's own cure for Constipation, and is now being used by over 300,000 Americans with great success. The "J. II. !-. Cascade" is now being shown and explained by the Woodard Clark & Co.'s Drug Store in Portland, who are slso distributing a most interesting booklet called "Why Msn cf To-Day Is Only 50 Per Cent..
