UEKLE OFFERS AID CO-OPERATION' IN CONSERVATION OP FOOD PROMISED. Services Put at Disposal of Governor In Any Campaign to Be Umder- taken in State. Some plan of state co-operation with the government in the work of food conservation and the speeding up of production is considered likely as a re sult of a letter dispatched to Governor Withycombe by State Dairy and Food Commissioner J. D. Mlckle. Mr. Mickle offered the governor the services of the Dairy and Food office in any campaign for the fostering of production or the conservation of the available food supply of the state. Mr. Mickle said last night that CEe question was one of the big ones now coming before the Federal government and he was of the opinion that the states could aid materially in any cam paign inaugurated. As ranking Food Commissioner on the Pacific Coast it has been suggested that Mr. Mickle call a conference of Dairy and Food Com missioners of the Pacific Coast states to consider the problem of food supply In the light of the present conflict in which the government is engaged. Mr. Mickle said that he was considering the advisability of calling such a con ference but would probably wait until the policy of the government had been definitely outlined, thereby permitting of Intelligent co-operation. Internal Bathing's Rapid Growth It Is but natural to expect that a re lief from Constipation and the many Ills which it causes which is so effectual and so natural as Internal Bathing should quickly make many converts. But Its general use has Increased so tremendously in the past few years as to suggest other reasons, and these are found in the statements of users that they feel as if "made over new" the morning after an Internal Bath. The elimination of the pernicious and poisonous waste which is ever present in the Lower Intestine gives Nature a chance sto work unhampered. And one arises in the morning clear-headed, able, bright, confident and eager for the day's duties. Mrs. Harry J. Rhodes, of Rickreall. Or., writes: "The Cascade arrived. I have used it about a week. I presume you are ac customed to the revelations your Fatients send you. I deeply regret that had not bought it a dozen years ago, when I thought I could not possibly afford it I only wish it were possible for every sufferer to know: when they would make any sacrifice to buy. Tours truly." The "J. B. L. Cascade," the most ef ficient device for Internal Bathing, is being shown and explained in detail at Woodard, Clarke & Co.'s Drug Stores in Portland.

WOMAN IS EXALTED Rev. C. B. Waller Says Men Are Made by True Helpmeets. REAL WORKERS ARE NEED Consecrated Womanhood One of Mightiest Forces for Civilization and Righteousness In History of Mankind, He Asserts. "Women We Need' the strong, cap able, true women, those who are patri otic, good, and are industrious, those who are ever readv to serve or to lead a worthy cause, rormea the tneme or Dr. Calvin B. Waller's sermon last night in the First Baptist Church. - Dr. Waller spoke of the women who had taught the civilized world how to care for the sick and wounded soldiers and who had stamped the Red Cross above the door of countless institutions. He praised the capable manner in which they had worked and the good they had done. The extravagant wife who will not study to be a "real helpmeet" was sternly criticised by Dr. Waller when he said: "Pitiable Indeed is that man who has a wall-flower, spendthrift woman ior wife. Many a fellow baa gone out of business into Jail because of a spendthrift at home; has had bis nose ground off at the grindstone of debts. while his wife turned the crank. Contrast Is Shown. In contrast, the good women and their influences were praised. Dr. Wal ler said of some whom he mentioned as types: "It was a woman, Miriam, Moses sister, who led, that chorus of 600,- 000 Israelites in the Song of Deliver ance on the banks of the Red Sea. "It was a woman, Esther, who dared to go unbidden into the presence of the King of the Medes and Persians in order to save her people from destruction. "It was e. woman, Frances E. Wil- lard, who stood at the head of that countless band of 'true women that stretched the white ribbon around the world, and gave us the mighty wave of temperance reform." Eloquent praise was given by the pastor to the women who work and to those who, in being "man's true help meet and the makers of the homes. are fulfilling the finest and best of duties." He urged the women to be true, saying. "O, woman! Be true! We poor husbands, sons and brothers need you. Be true to God. Be earnest in prayer. An altar of prayer is a woman's fortress; her prayer of faith is a scepter of power. With it she will win. Womanhood Mighty Force. "One of the mightiest forces for civ ilization and righteousness In the his tory of mankind has been and is true, consecrated womanhood. That silent force that has wrought behind the closed doors of home life has ever left its impress upon time and eternity. "The vital question for every true woman is, 'What kind of woman will it take to fill this" noble place of power and goodness to which God has called herr " The opportunity In these critical hours for women to be "man's help meet" formed an important feature of Dr. waller's discourse. He praised women who are industrious. "Work is no disgrace," said the pastor, "it is commendable. Pity that young woman who thinks it adds to her grace or dignity to be ignorant of the science of woman's work. It is no honor to say in manifest helplessness, I can't "It is a real accomplishment for young woman to be able to perform on a piano; it is just as marked accom plishment for her to be qualified to perform on a cook-stove. Woman is to be man's 'helpmeet' If man be the breadmaker, woman is the breadbaker and breadsaver. "Who can know the power of a true, good woman? How many men have you heard say. What I am, my good wile made me. 7" MakinjE Junior Police. Forum. Three years ago Captain Sweeney, of the Delancey-street station, in the closely populated district at the end of the Williamsburg bridge,. New York commenced organizing the boys of the precinct into "Junior police." These junior police are given police uniforms, to be worn only on state occasions. The boys are not given any police author ity. They are pledged to live straight clean lives and to try to Induce theij families and associates to uphold the laws. Twice a week they meet in a public school building, one afternoon for gymnasium and drill exercises and one for a lecture. There used to be 20 complaints a day of juvenile delin quency in Captain Sweeney's precinct In the last two years, he reports, there have been not more than two. The merchants, who used to drive 'the boys off the streets, now consider it good business to contribute to the support of the junior police.

Dnddlng Explains Hardships Met by Mem on Release From Penitentiary. E. E. Dudding. president of the Pris oners' Relief Society, of Huntington, W. Va, who has himself served five years in the West Virginia State Pris on, reached Portland yesterday on a tour of the Northwest, having spoken yesterday at the State Penitentiary at Walla Walla, Wash. Mr. Dudding left last night for Seattle, but will return to Portland later to speak here and to visit the Oregon prison. Mr. Dudding, at Walla Walla, ex piated the working of the Prisoners' Relief Society, and said it had 'found employment for almost 5000 released prisoners during the last year. He ex plained the hardships of a man just re leased from the penitentiary In the effort to get ahead. He also told of the work Miss Letha Watts had done after she had answered his advertise ment for someone to help carry on the work of the society he then had in mind. "The prison relief society Is organized for social service and not spiritual guiding." saiU Mr. Dudding. "Its aims are material. It endeavors to help re store convicted men to their proper places in society. "An interesting thing was disclosed at Walla Walla. I asked how many of the men then at the prison would go to war to regain their liberty. Not a response was made. I then asked how many would be willing to fight for the country if they could do it as other men as free volunteers. Every able- bodied man then replied."

HEAD GASHED BY PLUNGE Man Apparently Seeking to End Life In River Held by Police. Robert G. Clark, 67, apparently sought to end his life yesterday by plunging into the turbid Willamette River. It the vernacular of the police, he "crowned" himself on a piling and was rescued, non ethe worse save for a gashed head. The occurrence was at the foot of the Stark-street dock, and was not witnessed. Loungers on the water front saw Clark sitting at the foot of the dock, ruefully feeling of his head. They summoned the police, who con veyed him to the Emergency Hospital. "Sure, I jumped oft," said Clark. "I wanted to take a swim. I'm a 'bear' at that stunt" He will be held for an investigation as to his sanity. Dawn Jane, Noted Swimmer, Does Tricks In Miniature Tank. Trained Goat Entertains. Lots of clever singing, a dash of clever magic and a lovely submarine girl, make the new bill that opened at the Hippodrome yesterday attractive from start to finish. Dawn June, who performed thjs feat of swimming the Golden Gate some time ago, with hands and feet bound, is the submarine girl featured on the bill, and although she does not give a swimming exhibition, she makes some startling performances in underwater skill and endurance In the cute little tank that she has along with her. It's only seven feet long and two feet wide with about 20 Inches of wa ter in It, but that's plenty for a per son to drown In, and the average per son would drown in the first show if the stunts that Dawn June does were attempted. She eats and sleeps and does fancy work and threads a needle and lots of other things, staying under water ap parently as unconcerned as an ordi nary person would be sitting In a com fortable Morris chair at home. Carl Roslnl has a series of striking illusions and magical productions wov en into an act that is brilliant and beautiful. Anderson and Golnes are & pair of singing tan comedians, the latter being the particularly comical comedian of the two. In their little skit, "The Ghost of a Coon.f there are laughs enough to keep one busy a long while. Taylor and Brown, in "Miss Forget it," have a sparkling lot of comedy patter and music, and Phil Bennett "the Alpine Troubadour," makes a tune ful hit with his audiences. Morales Pets, opening the bill, are a clever aggregation, and especially featured is Jack, an acrobatic bulldog. Good photoplays balance the bill, with Francis X. Bushman and Beverley Bayne featured In "The Great Secret" The Civic League, of Columbia, S. C, is conducting a vigorous campaign to rid the city of-unsightly billboards and tradesmen's signs.

' Competent guides are always in attendance. Postum Cereal Company, Battle Creek, Mich. Philadelphia, Pa. "One year ago I was very sick and I suffered with pains in my side and back: until I nearly went crazy. I went to different doctors and they all said I had female trouble and would not get any relief until I would be operated on. I had suffered for four years before this time, but I kept get ting worse the more .si l medicine I took. Every month since I was a young girl I had suffered with cramps in my sides at periods and was never regular. I saw your advertise ment in the newspaper and the picture of a woman who bad been saved from an operation and this picture was im pressed on my mind. The doctor had given me only two more days to make up my mind so I sent my husband to the -'rug store at once for a bottle of Lydia S. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and uelieve me, I soon noticed a change and when I had finished the third bottle I was cured and never felt better. I grant you the privilege to publish my letter and am only too glad to let other women know of my cure. " Mrs.THOS-McGON-IGAL, 3432 Hartville Street. Pbila., Pa. MORE STRENGTH FOR FEEBLE OLD PEOPLE If all the old people In Portland realized what Vlnol will do for them, we would not be able to get enough of It to supply the demand. We quote from a recent letter received from Mrs. A. E. Carson, of Kingston, N. T. She says: "I am 69 years of age, and had been ailing for a long time with' Indigestion. I got run-down, was weak, dizzy and could not sleep at night. I consulted two doctors who said I had hardening of the arteries and at my age could not expect to be strong again. My daughter would give me no peace until I tried Vlnol, as It had dona so much for her. I have taken five bottles and my health and strength have come hack, so I am able to do all the housework for my family of four, and I am recommending Vlnol to all my friends." The reason Vlnol la so beneficial to old people is because tt contains the very elements needed to replace declin ing strength with renewed vigor, vis.: beef and cod liver peptones. Iron and manganese peptonates, glycerophos phates and a mild tonic wins. The Owl Drug Co.. Portland; also at the leading drug ators,ln all Oregon towns.
