ENTRY AT 18 IS PIBLIC LANDS COMMITTEE UNIT OX PROPOSED MEASURE. Bill Not aa Acceptable la Member a. One Passed Western last Year, Rut I Compromise, OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Feb. 8. By unanimous vote the House committee on public lands fa vorably reported a bill permitting mi nors of tho age of 18 years or more to make homestead entry of public lands. As reported the bill provides: "That any minor of the age of 18 years or over and otherwise qualified under the public land laws shall be per mitted to make homestead entry, under and subject to the homestead laws of the United States'. Provided. That no minor shall be permiltted to make final proof upon such an entry or receive ' ,"1 ntii h or she shall attained the age of 24 years: Pro vided further. That such entryman shall comply with all the requirements ot the homestead laws as to cultivation and Improvement of the land entered but shall not be required to establish or maintain residence thereupon until he or she shall have attained the age of 21 years, and final proof upon sucn an entry may be submittted at any time within two years after such entr.yman shall have attained the age of 24 years. The bill Is not as acceptable to West ern members as a similar bill wnien nassed the Senate a year ago, but cer tain Eastern members on the commit tee forced the adoption of restrictive clauses confining tho bill to homestead entries only and providing that no patent shall issue until the entryman has reached the age of 24. The first. bill, passed by th,e Senate, permitted minors of 18 or more to make any kind of land entries: that bill was modified last year by the House committee to rjermit them to make homestead or desert entries only, and this year tho bill is further cut so as- to apply only to homesteads. Secretary Lane fa vored the more liberal bill and also fa vored issuance of patent to minor en trymen when they have fully compiled with the requirements of the homestead law.

Vor the benefit of Portland school girls who overwork and get into high Iv nervous, weak and run-down condi tion. we publish this letter from Dorris Coplier. of Fort Worth, Tex., I go to the high school and take music lessons and became rundown, weak and very nervous, so I could not do anything. I would shake all over and could have screamed at times, and was really unfit to keen on with my studies. Mother purchased a bottle of Vinol for me and within a week I was better, and in two weeks I had gained five pounds and felt fine." It Is the curative strengthening ele ments of the true cod liver extract, aid ed by the blood-making, revitalizing effect of peptonate of iron and beef peptone, contained in Vinol, which made it so successful in building up health and strength and overcoming the nervous condition of Miss Coplier, and we ask every school girl in Port land who is in a like condition to try Vinol, on our guarantee to return their money if it fails to benefit.

A GIRL'S COMPLEXION Very few girls get through their 'teens 1 ' without eruptions or pimples showing on , their faces. These may be due to indigestion result- " ing from improper diet. If so they will quickly disappear when the proper food is adhered to. If they are accompanied by pallor and listleasness you must look to the condition of the blood. Because these eruptions on the faces of school girls are bo common they seldom receive the attention from parents that ;" they require. When they indicate thin blood Or anemia there is a ready remedy in Dr. Williams' Pink 1111a. Thesetonio pills, free from harmful drugs, are pretty sure to help growing girls because they build up the blood at a time when tlm demand on it is greatest. As the blood is made rich and red, fickle appetites be come normal, lassitude gives way to vigor, the cheeks and lips show the glow .. of health and the whole system is toned up. The nervous system is invigorated and with proper attention to diet many dangers are averted. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams' Pink Pills or they will be mailed, post- :' paid, on receipt of price, 60 cents per box, six boxes $2.60, -ly the Dr. Williams ' Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

A great specialist, at one time, com pared the human system to a delicate "' piece of mechanism, saying: "The flues need cleaning, the shafts oiling, and tho drive wheel more energy." Plant Juice, the new system tonic. now being introduced here, may he likened to the human repair shop. It puts the stomach, the keystone of the human system, in repair, causing it to digest the food, corrects constipation. purifies the blood, eliminates uric acid. the cause of rheumatism, opens the pores of the skin, and lets out the poi- , son and cleanses the entire system. It stimulates the kidneys and puts a slug gish liver back to performing its: proper functions, thereby laying th) foundation for a new lease of life. Day by day more people are coming for-., ward with statements concerning this wonderful preparation. The following testimonial was made by Mr. Robert Harbison, who lives at No. 718 Canton . Avenue, Detroit, Mich., and is con nected with the city gas company. Mr. Harbison is prominent in lodge circles and his integrity is absolutely unques tioned. He stated: . "I had been afflicted for a long tinio with a serious case of stomach trouble. My food fermented, causing gas and made me very dizzy. 1 had no appetite and was in a generally 'run-down' con dition. I had tried almost every known remedy without receiving any benefit, until I commenced to use Plant Juice. I have only been taking riant Juice for one week and I am now feeling likaj new man. It is worth its weight in gold. I am recommending Plant Juice to all my friends who suffer from stom ach trouble." Plant Juice is sold in all Owl Drug Stoic. V4
