TI1E MORNING OREGONIAX, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1018. THIRD OREGON WILL i COfJTiE own Governor Makes Announce ment Following Conference. OLD OFFICERS FAVORED 2Iultnoiuab Guard to Hate No Milt, lary Standing When Peace I Declared, Saji Governor. FALEM. Or, Pec. 1!. fSpedal.) The formation of the Third Oregon Regi ment of the National Guard will con tinue as a result of a conference today between Governor Wlthycombe, Adjutant-General Beebe. Colonel W. C. North. Major A. A. Drake and Captain A. A. Hall. Agreement baa been reached also that any of the officers of the old Third Oregon, who. upon return to civil life, desire their old places In that regiment, will be riven preference and the men now holding such places will retire In their favor. It was announced al5a that the War Department has detailed Colonel George S. Young, who has had charge of the Students' Training Corps at Willamette University, to act as inspector-instruc-tor for the National Guard in this state, atarttng January L "The general staff a few nights ago passed resolutions recommending the demobilizing of the Oregon National Guard In Multnomah County." said the Governor today in explaining the re suits of the conference this morning. which was held in executive session. "I thought that such a resolution was Ill-advised and offered the suggestion that we continne to mobilise one reg iment throughout the state. Including Multnomah County. The difficulties which have arisen in Multnomah County have been a sort of a tempest In a tea pot. to my mind. At the last conference we decided to submit those difficulties to a Joint committee, and it was agreed that 11000 would be provided for the remodeling of a school building for the use of the Multnomah Guard. Some how the agreement has not been fully carried out. and after the work or re modeling had been done the Guard refused to vacate the Armory. "I wish it understood that I have nothing but the highest words jt ap preciation for the Multnomah Guard and commend It for its work during the war. but the war Is practically over. I have no objection to the Guard re maining In existence. If It wishes-to. providing it does not interfere with the organisation of the National Guard. which we are trying to accomplish In an orderly way under the National de fense act. The Wir Department has recognized the National Guard by its appointment of Colonel Young as inspector-Instructor. "Even if the Multnomah Guard does get possession of the Multnomah Arm ory it cannot us it after peace has been declared, as all organizations but the National Guard will automatically go out of existence. The Home Guards are simply deputy Sheriffs and will have no status in a military sense after the declaration of peace. We have thought It wise and an excellent sentiment to decide, tenta tively, at least, to perpetuate the name of the old Third Oregon. We are proud of Its name and we wish to continue It permanently. We have a good ex ample for doing so in the perpetuation of the name of New York's crack regi ment during the Civil War."

Hippodrome. - V The three farmerettes, in costume which promises to become prevalent and which are exceedingly attractive as feminine apparel, prove one of the dlvertinK numbers on the Interesting new bill at the Hippodrome, which opened yesterday. Report says that the idea for the brilliant little act In which these three pretty girls sing sweetly, originated after hours spent on a real farm, but the girls are too dashing and up-to-date to project the farm idea far. Chamberlain and Earle are a clever pair of chatterboxes, with a flock of new songs and character delineations. A rapid-fire sketch is called 'Here and There. in which Daniel Russell, a finished, brilliant artist, plays the lead and sponsors the sketch, which is in the form of a one-act play. Two sensational, hair-raising num bers find Interesting places on the bill. One Is the aerial novelty act offered by the two Cornalla sisters, graceful and agile physical culture maids. The other is the exceedingly smart turn in equilibrium offered by the Totos. The feature of their act Is amazing stunts performed on a pedestal eight inches square placed ten feet above the floor level of the stage. The O. Henry stories prove of un usual Interest when made Into films, and the present one, "Everybody's Oirl. featuring Alice Joyce as Flor ence, the little milliner, is of great in terest. - Thone your want ads to The Orego nian.

Each 10 cent box of Cascarets contains directions for children aged one year old and upwards as well as for adults. . . "Nothing ever helped me until I got Tanlac. and now I'm feeling just like a different man." said Calvin M. Thomas, of 142 Shaver street, Portland, Or., while In the Owl Drug Store, recently. "Three years ago," he continued, "I was taken with a rheumatic pain and sorneness in my left arm, then in my right arm and soon the rheumatism got all through -my body. During this time I tried all sorts of medicines, used bottle after bottle of liniments and even took electric treatment, but kept getting worse. Three months ago I got Into such a bad fix that I just had to lay off from my work for two weeks. For a week of this time the pain in my shoulders was so bad that I couldn't lay down and had to prop myself up In bed in order to get any sleep or rest at night. I had fallen off thirty-seven pounds In weight and was Just going down hill all the time. "Finally a friend of mine at the ship yards, where I work, advised me to try Tanlac, saying It had relieved him of the same kind of trouble. So I lost no time in getting me a bottle of Tan lac and I have never seen or heard of Its equal. I am so much better of the rheumatism that I hardly notice it any more and Tanlac Is just building me right up. , I have already gotten back fifteen pounds of my lost weight and am still improving right along. I am going to keep on taking Tanlac for a while yet to make sure the rheumatism is all out of my system, for I certainly don't want any more suffering like I had during the past three years. I am also going to have my wife and son take it to build them up, and I cheer fully recommend It to everybody." Rheumatism is not only one of the most prevalent, but one of the most painful and difficult to treat of all present-day diseases. When the digest ive organs and bowels are not work ing properly and the kidneys become clogged up. the whole system becomes deranged and saturated with uric acid poisons and other impurities, which ac cumulate in the joints and other parts of the body and produce the condition known as rheumatism. Tanlac is a. powerfuf reconstructive tonic and quickly overcomes this condi tion by acting directly on the vital or gans, toning them up and enabling them to perform their proper functions so that the impurities are soon elim inated from the system In their natural way. Liniments and external applica tions, as a general thing, only afford temporary relief. Tanlac is a consti tutional treatment and gets right at the root of the trouble by removing the cause. Tanlac is sold In Portland by the Owl Drug Co. Adv. $2.50 V I Ml j i Jin Z. SWETTCO. m i iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiH liafrt election. made easy when you choose at the Big Book and Stationery Store.
