Just what Mr. Hill's estate will ag gregate is a question that will be de termined only after the administrator has spent months examining securities and holdings.

FEDERAL ACT SUPERSEDES Purpose of Law Was to ltcstrict Im portation or Chinese Eggs Traf fic JJecIared Subject to Fed eral Pure Food Act. SALEM. Or.. June 6. (Special.) The Supreme Court today, In an opinion by Justice' Bean, declared unconstitu tional and void section 6 of chapter 272 of the 19J5 session laws, which re quired Oregon firms selling or using imported eKss in their products to ad vertise such sale or use in their places of business. The decision was ren dered in the case of the state of Ore gon against J. C. Jacobson. appellant, and constitutes a reversal of the' Judg ment of Circuit Judge Oantenbeln, of Multnomah County. The law was fathered in the last Legislature by Dana Allen, Represen tative from Marion County, and was aimed specifically to restrict the Bale of Chinese eggs. Statute Ia Defined. Holdintr against- the contention of counsel for the state that the act in question was a proper exercise of the police power of the state. Justice Bean declared that the real purpose of the statute was to counteract the customs duty act of Congress admitting eggs without duty, and was discriminatory.

The section is declared beyond the power of state legislation and void. a Other Decisions Rendered.

PURE PARAFFINE FOR CONSTIPATION Liquid paraffine is of material as sistance in the most stubborn cases of chronic constipation and in pre venting auto-intoxication and the many other complications which nat urally follow, is the assertion of Sir William Arbuthnot Lane, a notable English surgeon, who has been fore most in the work of establishing the medical worth of this natural min eral oil. The value of the remedy, which has been successfully prescribed by many leading American specialists, is due to the fact that it is purely mechanical in its action, softens the congested charges and lubricates the intestinal channels. It is said to be particularly effect ive, mild and gentle, for the use of Infants, the aged and convalescent. - One of the best-known liquid par affine preparations or liquid petrola tum, as it is sometimes called, is Ameroil. a superior, highly refined product sold by The Owl Drug Stores. It is not absorbed or assimilated, and therefore does not clog the sys tem. It is not a cathartic or a laxa tive, not a drug, poison or a food. It is simply a lubricant and is taste less, odorless and colorless, easy to take, agreeable, effective and thor oughly safe.
