SPECIAL FOOD SALE IS SET Well-Known Provision Houses City Co-operate With Organiza tion in Effort to Give Peo ple Low Prices on Foods. in PARENT - TEACHER ASSOCIA TION'S FTRST MENU TO CUT LIVING COST. Breakfast. Stewed Prunes Oatmeal Mush Toast Coffee, Milk Luncheon. Creamed Beans s Apple Sauce Whole Wheat Bread Dinner. Beef Pot Roast With Carrots, Onions and Potatoes Cabbagre Salad Bread and Butter Bread Pudding- With Raisins Coffee Tea Milk A well-balanced meal at a reasonable cost is the object of the arrangements which have been perfected by the com mittee of the Parent-Teacher Associa tion for the special sale of foodstuffs by well-known provision-houses all over the city tomorrow. A menu has been arranged by Mrs. Eldon J. Steele, of the committee, and advice designed, to help the housewife in purchasing1 and preparing three meals ha been formulated. The in tention of the committee is to limit the cost of the meal so that a family of six persons could be maintained on salary of $18 a week. The committee in its investigation, of the high cost of living question has found that many of the causes could be eliminated and a saving: 'effected for the benefit of the housewife. "Skillful buying and selection of foods help greatly in the problem of better living for less," said one or the com raittee yesterday. "From the merchants of Portland we have learned that a large percentage has been added to the cost of food by the great amount of delivery service and the greatly added cost of selling groceries in very small quantities." Thursdays are to be "better-living days," according to the plans of the parent-teacher committee. Merchants have announced that they would much prefer to give low prices on foods to the people than to pay the difference i in extra delivery service. When the sav ing of buying in quantity is under stood, according to the investigation committee, people will commence to buy in quantity. "In this city-wide movement to make better conditions in Portland homes," announces the com mittee, "we ask the co-operation of every merchant, your grocer, your meat man, your fuel man. We intend to make Thursdays better-living days. Redactions) Are Granted. "In presenting the menus under the direction of Mrs. E. J. Steele,' after careful inspection of the markets and stores each week, those foods will be suggested that are in season and that can be sbought at fair prices. We are very fortunate this week in that the merchants have granted ue very marked reductions in staple foods for Thursday. Among the most important are whole wheat rlour, beans, prunes, fresh ranch eggs and pot roast of beef. "Our committee, with the domestic science department of the Portland schools, recommends whole wheat flour as being much more wholesome than white flour and more desirable in many kways for children. Many ways of using whole wheat flour will be suggested in our menus." The general prices in the public markets for fresh vegetables are: Car rots, six and seven pounds for 10 cents; parsnips, five and six pounds for 10 cents; cabbage, pound, 2 cents; onions, extra fine, three pounds for 10 cents; potatoes, six to nine pounds for 10 cents. Many special reductions have been announced by various stores and produce dealers. The reductions include butter, eggs, pot roasts and Deans, coal has been offered by one dealer at SI a ton less than the usual price. ROAD mOVE OPPOSED Oregon City to Fight Scheme to Change Highway Route. PROPOSED COUNTY IRKS cade County and that they will Join in the movement against division. It is not at all unlikely that if the boundary lines of the proposed county were altered so as to leave territory that is properly within a trade radius of Oregon City in Clackamas County that opposition to the creation of Cas cade County here would be withdrawn. Oregon City and Clackamas County residents will go to Salem and appear before the committee on counties of the Senate and House. W. P. Hawley, Jr., of the Hawley Pulp & Paper Com pany, today made an offer of $100 to defray the expense of a special train from Oregon City to Salem and return.

The people of Oregon City have their hands full in their fight against the proposed annexation of the Oswego district to Multnomah County, the cre ation of Cascade County out of the eastern section of Clackamas and the proposal to improve a main highway with state and Federal aid west of the Willamette River at a sacrifice of the improvement of the Pacific Highway as It is at present designated. Dr. L. A. Morris, who led the fight for a pure water supply for Oregon City and West Linn two years ago, was today appointed chairman of a com mittee to fight the movement to take Oregon City off the main line of high way traffic, and the Live Wires, of the Oregon City Commercial Club, will get behind the committee.

The Live Wire luncheon today was taken up mainly with a discussion of county and annexation problems, and G. F. Johnson produced a map showing tne proposed Doundarles of Cascade County. Considerable interest was tak en when it was shown that the dlvlslon- ists, with headquarters at Estacada, plan to take in the Colton. Clarkes and Highland districts, as well as some of .the territory around Logan and Viola. It was stated that remonstrances against the division of Clackamas County along the lines Indicated have already been placed in circulation in Eastern Clackamas County.

Faught. when his death occurred. Dr. Earl Smith was called to attend him. The body was removed to the Miller Sc. Tracey parlors. LIABILITY LIMIT IS OFF DAMAGES FOR DEATH MAY BE PUT AT ANY FIGURES BY JURY. Judge Gantenbeln In Branln Case Holes That Employers' Act Ex tend to Public. Benefits of the employers liability act extend to members of the public, and the statutory limit of $7500 dam ages, which may be sued for in recom pense for accidental death, no longer applies. This was the effect of a ruling of Circuit Judge Gantenbeln yesterday, based on a recent Supreme Court de cision and reaffirming the late deci sion of Circuit Judge Kavanaugh on the same point of law. Judge Ganten beln overruled the demurrer of the Portland Railway. Light & Power Com pany to thea$75,500 damage suit brought by Mrs. Edith J. Branln, widow of J. Walter Branin, who met death under the wheals of a streetcar. Judge Kavanaugh made the same ruling a few weeks ago. but without hearing the point argued, and granted the defendant time for argument.

Pollock and Whipple Creek precincts, has prepared the annual re port, which shows 33 deaths and 41 births for 1916. i This argument was made yesterday morning before Judge Gantenbeln. pre siding judge. The contention of West & McColloch and D. A. Norton, attorneys for Mrs. Branin. was that Mr. Branin, as a member of the public was entitled to come under the provisions of the em ployers" liability act. This new point has been ralBed in a Wallowa County case, and the Supreme Court only last month held that the application of tho liability law to the public was a correct interpretation of the law. In the extension of the benefits of this law to the public the $7500 limit virtually is repealed in such cases, and the limit which can be obtained by suit is limited only by the discretion of the Jury REAL INFORMATION SOUGHT Health Bureau Asks That Com plaints Be Specific.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mix ture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drugstore for a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." you will get this famous old prepara tion, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it haa been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap plication or two. it becomes beauti fully dark and glossy. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire a more youthful appearance. It is not intended for the cure, mitiga tion or prevention of disease. Adv.
