Three days in advance of the regular
"work of cleaning up the city ana
making it shiny and new. Mayor Albee.
Jacob Kanzler, secretary of the civic
bureau of the Chamber of Commerce:
Fire Chief Dowell. Fire Marshal Jay
Stevens, O. M. Plummer. captain of
district A; Battalion Chief Ilolden and
40 firemen, met at 8:30 yesterday
morning at St. Johns and initiated the
campaign for eliminating the tin can
and other unsightly and insanitary de
fects in civic beauty.
Kvidence of the enthusiasm with
which the men entered into the work
appeared when all were present and
ready to begin active work at 8:82, two
minutes after the time appointed.
Work All Organlxed.
Dr. C J. Smith, captain of district
2. with the same force of men who
began the preliminary work at St.
Johns yesterday, will be at Woodlawn
promptly at 8:30 this morning. He had
a conference with his lieutenants yes
terday afternoon and has organized his
work so that it will be executed with
dispatch and effectiveness.
"The work has been started with
clockwork regularity," was tno em
phatic statement of Mr. Kanzler yeeter
day afternoon. "It is going to be the big
gest thing for Portland that has hap
pened for some time. I have been
riding through the outskirts of' the
city a great deal for the past lew days
and already there has been a marked
improvement in the appearance of
unoccupied lots. I noticed particular
ly that there were many vacant lots
that had been freshly plowed, lots
that had formerly been the breeding
places of harmful weeds.
I ' .a j Are Encouraged.
Mr. Plummer said yesterday that he
was going to see that essays on the
clean-up campaign were contributed by
each of the school children in his district-
The executive committee in that
district will be the Judge of the essays
and the best in the lot will be given
due publicity. If the other district
captains follow out the plan or .Mr.
Plummer, Mr. Kanzler said that he
would publish the best essay from each
district in the general report that will
be made at the conclusion of the cam
paign.
Circulars were put In the mails yes
terday morning directed to each of the
lieutenants in each districts. As it was
impossible for each lieutenant to b
present at the organization meeting
at the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday
night, the members of the executive
committees in all the districts were ap
prised through the circulars of the
work they have to superintend.
Firemen Go First.
Sixty thousand handbills have also
been printed and contain general in
formation regarding the campaign.
These handbills will be distributed by
the firemen in their preliminary cam
Daign. The firemen will do their pre
liminary work three days in advance
of the regular clean-up work in any
district and will make notes and photo
graphs of unsightly spots. The camera
method of locating rubhisti is con
sidered particularly effective-
Approximately 40,000 circulars, con
taining the names of all the district
committees with their telephone num
bers, will be distributed among the
school children. These circulars also
contain the prices that will be offered
for rubbish that has a commercial
value. Already the small boys of the
entire city are vielng with each other

YOUTH INJLD AGE
How to Live to Be One Hundred
Years Old.
With proper attention to diet, pre
vention of colds, exercise, plenty of
sleep, proper care of the skin and the
use of a. strengthening tonic like Vinol,
years may be added to one's life.
A Civil War Veteran, Mr. W, H.
Bowers, of Steubenville, Ohio, says: "I
am 77 years of age. I suffered from
general weakness, nervous breakdown
and dizziness. An old doctor recom
mended Vinol. It built me up so that
1 was able to go to work as strong
and well as ever."
Tbe reason Vinol is so beneficial to
old people is because it contains the
very elements needed to replace de
clining strength with renewed vigor,
viz. the medicinal elements of fresh
cod livers, without oil, peptonate of
iron, beef peptone and a mild tonic
wine.
If Vinol fails to build up the feeble
weakened old system of old people, we
will return the amount of money paid
tis for it. The Owl Drug Company,
Portland. Oregon.
In your own town wherever you live,
there is a Vinol Drugstore. Look for
the sign.
invariably filled with appreciative
folk. Yesterday the new mid-week bill
went on with a change of vaudeville
acts and a change of film stories.
The Six Galvins, bicycle artists, is
the big number of the vaudeville offer
ings. Five pretty girls and one lone
man. all adepts on the merry cycle,
gave an exciting exhibition. They
balance and ride all on one wheel,
again in duos and trios and sustain
interest. Their fresh costumes, con
sisting of white blouses and pastelle
toned knickerbockers, add an attrac
tive note.
Mankin is an exceptionally agile
contortionist who appears in the guise
of a frog. He hops out of a closed up
lily blossom and proceeds to go through
fantastic performances whle seated on
a toadstool. Later he swings by a
grape vine and then seeks his lily
pod bed again.
Knox and La Belle, are a man at the
piano who can play it, assisted by a
girl who sings.
Fox and Evans are a blackface duo
who tell old jokes and an occasional
new one. with song and dance interpolations.
The big featured film is "The Grip of
Jealousy, a beautiful dramatic story
of the Southlands with thrills of In
trigue, murder and mystery in it.
Picturesque in costume and scenic set
tings, the story holds every Interest.
"His Neighbor's Wife" is the comedy
film and tells the story of a borrowed
wife who mixes things up at a party.
An unique picture is an educational
exhibition, by Bernarr MacFadden,
who gives a series of classical poses
showing methods of physical culture
and physical development. The screen
flashes interesting data and advice
with each picture.
Another picture full of fun is a big
cageful of polar bears being put
through their paces.
