It rearranges the person nel of the State Land Commission, Board of Equalization, Highway Com mission and establishes a legislative bureau in the Attorney-General's de partment. This rearrangement of state boards, composed of state of ficials, is accepted as creating new po sitions, which supposedly overcomes the constitutional prohibition of bene fit to officials by salary increases made during their terms of office. Un der this arrangement the Governor will receive $10,000 a year instead of $6000: State Treasurer. Auditor, Super intendent of Kducation, Secretary of State and Land Commissioner wiil be increased from $3000 to $5000 a year, and the Lieutenant-Governor will be paid $2400 instead of $1200 a year. Creation of a bureau to draft legis lation will bring the Attorney-General's salary up to $6000 a year, this of ficer and the Lieutenant-Governor each receiving an increase of 100 per cent. The total salary increase amounts to $25,000 annually. Paving Programme Lamck'd.

The Senate in a concurrent resolution today protested vigorously a Federal proposal to levy a revenue tax of from 40 cents to $1.25 a gallon on fruit-juice beverages produced extensively in Washington and Oregon. Liquor in terests are accused of urging the pro posed tax. House members are wondering why Speaker Jones is wishing so much work on Representative Gordon. The latter lands on any loose conference, joint or other committee, until he Is now as busy as a one-armed man with the hives. There's going to be some mighty dis appointed men In the Legislature if at least half a dozen scouts from the War ren Construction Company are not on the scene pretty quick asking to have bills killed. "County salary grab bills are being popped into the legislative hopper. The high cost of living is affording county officers here and there opportunity to ask their representatives to ask the Legislature to have a heart.

The first of 25 Birney safety cars have been put into service by the Port land Railway. Light & Power Com pany, which introduces one of the in novations of metropolitan streetcar service. It Is a light car. mounted an a single truck, seats 32 people and is operated by one man. The axles have ball bearings and the power is ample, with equipment devices that make it a speedy car in operation, picking up speed more rapidly than a heavier car and quickly coming to a stop. The safety features are especially calcu lated to overcome the objections that are sometimes urged against a one-man operation of streetcars. The operator's hand must be on the control lever, -or his foot on- another control lever to keep the car in operation. When both levers are free the brakes are auto matically applied, the motor stops, sand pipes open and when the car halts the doors are opened. The door con trol is by air pressure, operated by a device on the control lever of the motor. The first of the new cars is operating on the Russell-Shaver line, and the others will be put through the shops and be placed in service gradually In fact, the cars now operating are being used for practice by the operators who will serve in the dual capacity of con ductor and motorman. The cars are so arranged that the operator collects fares and issues transfers as passen gers enter. Phone your want ads to the Orego nian. Phone Main 7070. A 6095.

UMBRELUIsliSE INJURY PEDESTRIANS, VISION OB SCURE, STRUCK BY AUTOS. 'rs. F. Taylor and A. B. Syfces Knocked Down by Machine at Tliird and Salmon Streets. Automobilists have complained of umbrellas held now by pedestrians and obstructing vision in crossing the streets at intersections. Numerous ac cidents have been reported during the last few days, in which the responsibil ity for the accident was placed upon persons carrying umbrellas. Mrs. F. Taylor. 999 East Nineteenth street North, suffered lacerations to her scalp and A. E. Sykes, . 228 Third street, was bruised and shaken up when an automobile driven by A. Nelson, 263 East Forty-fifth street South, struck and knocked both of them down at Third and Salmo:. streets late yester day. The injured woman was taken to her home for medical attention. The driver of the machine reported to the police that he was going east on Salmon street when the two persons stepped In front of his machine. He said that Mrs. Taylor was carrying an umbrella which obscured their vision and that he stopped within four feet after striking them. The police again have warned young sters against roller skating in the streets, especially between streetcar tracks, as serious accidents may be the result of such practices. Patrolmen have reported to the traffic bureau of late that a large number of children are roller skating in streets where there is heavy traffic. HELD GIVEN WAR WIDOWS Babies Cared For While Mothers Go Forth to Gain LiTellhood. LONDON. Hundreds of British babies have been born to a world from which their soldier fathers have departed. Young widows are faced not only with the problem of earning a liveli hood for themselves, but also with the problem of clothing, feeding and edu cating their little ones. Pioneer work of an important charac ter has been started to protect the cause of the widow and her baby. Homes have been opened for mothers of the professional classes who have to work during the day. The babies will be left in the care of efficient nurses, will get suitable food and exercise, and at night will be returned to their mothers' lov ing arms. There are other Institutions which receive the babies without the mothers, but they have proven very unpopular. Most women who have suffered to bring these email lives into the world will tight on in poverty in order to keep their babies near them. They can't fuss and fondle them all day. but they claim the right to snatch what pleas ure they can from baby's company at night. For this work of providing hostels for widow mothers of the professional classes, funds are provided by the civil branch of the American Red Cross So ciety. A grant also Is being made by the local government board, while the mother herself contributes $4 to $5 a week, according to her means. UNDERTAKER FORGET CASE Mother's Desire to Decorate Baby's Grave Tteveals. Error. CINCINNATI, O. A mdther's desire to decorate the grave of her child re vealed one of the most unusual cases on record and resulted in warrants be ing sworn out by Mrs. Elizabeth Wend roth, charging Walter H. Strelblg. un dertaker, with false pretenses and un lawfully removing a body. Mrs. Wend roth showed Prosecutor Morrissey a receipted bill made out by Streibig for burial of the child. The body was found at Streibig's undertaking establishment a few days ago. Three weeks ago the mother went to decorate the grave, and no records Sidelights of Legislature. JUST why they singled out newspaper men and placed them in the same category with lobbyists as germ car riers couldn't be ascertained, but that there is something common in these two brands of the male species is indi cated ' in the following resolution in troduced today by Senator Hurley: "Whereas, There are a great number of lobbyists and newspaper men who congregate in the halls and rooms of the State House, now, therefore, be it "Resolved, That all lobbyists and newspaper men while present in the Capitol shall be required to wear a flu mask, which shall be at least live inches in diameter and composed of at least Ave thicknesse sof gauze, and that C. C. Chapman, editor of the Oregon Voter, be compelled to wear one pair of high-topped boots in addition to the prescribed flu mask." J. W. Church, who was calendar clerk In the Senate two years ago and who is now chief grain inspector, was around the Capitol today breathing a little of the legislative atmosphere. Senator Baldwin, of Klamath County, this week celebrated his 63d birthday anniversary, and in addition to receiv ing the congratulations of his friends among the lawmakers he was the re cipient of numerous telegrams from about the state. Sometimes even the elements con spire against the oratorical efforts of those who would sway the state and Nation with words. It so happened that Senator 1'ierce was speaking with his usual fervor this morning when a deaf ening clap of thunder resounded throughout the Senate chamber and drowned the voice of the Eastern Ore gon solon; and not wishing to run counter to the "noise" without he dis creetly took his seat. The Senate during the fore part of the week showed too much speed in disposing of business with the result that there was nothing for the mem bers of the upper branch to do today. The Senate was not in session more than an hour altogether. .1. D. Lee, of Portland, who 40 years ago sat in the lower house from Polk County, in the seat now occupied by W. "V. Fuller, was extended the courtesy of the House by Mr. Fuller today. Mr. Lee served 10 years in the Legislature, eight of them being in the Senate. He also was at one time warden of the State Penitentiary.

Streibig explained, the mother said, that he had held the body to wait until the cemetery had thawed out so a grave, could bedug. "The coffin containing the haby's body was placed away last January," Streibig said. "It was forgotten and I did not know It had not been buried until the mother asked me last Sun day the number of the grave It had been placed In. The matter is simply an oversight.

Mickle, Dairy and Food Com missioner, has been here a day or two to impress upon the members the fact that his deputies cannot be retained unless they get more money. The mat ter must be all flxed, as he left for his homo in Portland today. State Food and Dairy Commissioner Mickle entered the Marion Hotel and registered.

And then ex-Scnator Hart registered, hope lessly. The clerk glanced at the name, looked through the mail and said: "No '.piters. Mr. Hart. I'm saving rooms for you traveling men these outsiders," tn- Every epidemic of Influenza that has swept this country has left in its path victims who have recovered from the acute attack but remain semi-invalids as a result of the condition in which the disease left them. Pneumonia is one of the most familiar after effects of influenza and is responsible for a large percentage of deaths resulting from the epidemic. In children influenza sometimes develops spinal meningitis, in elderly people chronic bronchitis and rheumatism often follows an attack and nearly every victim of the plague has some form of neurasthenia or nervous debility. So commonly is neurasthenia an after effect of the grip and influenza that physicians have given this stub born form of nervous trouble the name "post-grippal neurasthenia." meaning nervous prostration following the grip. One distinguished authority on nerv ous conditions says that, broadly speak ing, every victim of the grip will suf fer from post-grippal neurasthenia also. Lowering of nervous tone with in creased irritability of the nerves is the most striking effect of the disease. Languor of mind and body often de scribed as a tired feeling, disturbed and fitful sleep and vague pains in the head and elsewhere are common symp toms. The condition is caused by under nourished nerves. It calls for rest and the use of a non-alcoholic tonic. Neurasthenia is brought on in some cases by lack of rest and sleep, by worry and anxiety, and many people who have cared for the sick during an epidemic find themselves suffering from it, although they have escaped the in fection itself. Tonic Treatment Recommended. A highly successful treatment for neurasthenia and for the debility that so generally follows an attack of the grip or influenza is the use of a tonic that will build up the blood and en able it to carry proper nourishment to the starved nerves, as is shown in the following statements: Mrs. Jennie Cruikshank. of No. 517 North Barclay street, Waterloo, Iowa, did not regain her health after an at tack of the grip until she tried this treatment. She says: "The grip left me without any vitality whatever. I was weak and nervous, had no ambition and was generally run down. I had no color at all and was wasted away to a mere shadow of my former self. I was reduced in weight from 135 to 106 pounds. My appetite was poor and I was frequently con fined to bed for two or three days or more. "The doctors said that my blood was impoverished and my friends thought I was going into consumption. I had been sick for some time when I finally de cided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I found them just suited for my case and after taking a few boxes I was fully recovered and had regained my normal weight. It gives me great pleas ure to recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Tonic Overcome Weakneaa. Mrs. R. M. Dale, of No. 37 Grand street. Onoonta. N. T., was one of the thousands who succumbed to Spanish influenza last November. She say; "I suffered a severe attack of Spanish influenza In the early part of Novem ber of last year, and when I was pro nounced cured and was able to leave my bed I seemed to have no strength left in my body. I had no appetite and couldn't sleep. There were periods of extreme nervousness and I had heart spells during which I had sensations of smothering. "When I was a girl thirteen years old my mother had given me Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills to build up my thin blood and restore my color. The re sults of the treatment at that time made such an impression on me that I determined to try them to overcome my weakness following the influenza attack. Within a week after I started the treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I began to regain my strength and to enjoy my food. I am no longer nervous and my heart Is again normal. I take pleasure in recommending Ir. Williams' Pink Pills to my friends, for I am sure they are Invaluable follow ing attacks of influenza." Narrowly Escaped Pneumonia. An attack of the grip verging close on pneumonia left Mr. Howard S. Myers, of No. Ill West Grand street, Eliza beth, N. J., so badly run down that he was unable to work steadily and was in almost constant pain. "I had a dull pain across my back," Mr. Myers says, "and I was always tired. My kidneys were affected and 1 had no appetite and I was nervous at all times. I couldn't sleep well and would get up in the morning tired out and depressed. "An article in a newspaper led me to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial. Within three weeks I noticed a change. I began to pick up, my color was good and I continued taking the pills for three months. Today my appetite is restored and my nerves are Quieter. I am able to work every day. "I think it the duty of anyone who has received the great benefit I have from a remedy to recommend it. I would use nothing else as a tonic" Rheumatism Follow Grip. Mrs. N. A. Harwood, of No. 72 War ren avenue. Maiden. Mass., suffered for over a year from after-effects of the grip before she found a remedy that restored her health. "My condition was very serious," she says, "I was all run down and com pletely worn out. My system was a wreck and I was so weak that recovery seemed impossible. Rheumatism due to my impure and thin blood followed. My appetite was poor and I lost flesh. "Finally I recalled having used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills years ago and de cided to take them again. After using the first box I could see an imprvoe ment and took eight boxes with much benefit. My strength returned and I feel good now. I have great faith In Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and have rec ommended them to others. I also took Plnklets, the laxative pill, and think they are fine." Nerves Were I nstrung. Mrs. Lydla Abel, of No. 36 East Boun dary avenue, York, Pa., found that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills effectively checked the debilitating after effects of In fluenza. She says: "I had a severe attack of Influenza and for a time my doctor thought I was going Into pneumonia. The ill ness left me very weak and run down and nothing seemed to have the power to restore my lost strength. It was al most Impossible for me to do my work. I tired so easily. My face was without color and all rood taste.) alike and I had no appetite for any of it. My nerves were unstrung and sick head aches became frequent. "An article In a newspaper led me to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial and in two weeks I could see that my color had improved. The Immediate results were so good that I kept up the treatment according to the printed directions for a period of six weeks, and they made me as strong as I had been before the attack of Influenza. I always keep Dr. Williams' Pink Pills on hand now and use them as a builder every time my blood losea tone. I have recommended the treatment to many friends, who have been weakened by severe attacks of Influenza, and they are as enthusiastic over the merits of the treatment as I am." Had Headaches Constantly. To rebuild the blood, to strengthen the weakened nerves and to get back the lost flesh and strength Is the prob lem of the victim of an attack of In fluenza. How Mr. Charles Darling, of No. 14 Week street, Bath, Me., accom plished this Is best told in his own words : "My doctor treated me successfully for the grip." he says, "but he did not seem to help the after-effects of the disease. I had headaches nearly all the time, my strength was nearly spent and I often had to lie down and rest. I was pale and lost in weight and had a dull, languid feeling most of the time. My blood was very thin and poor and my stomach troubled me. "One day I got a box of Dr. Will iams' Pink Pills at the drug store and after taking them for about a week 1 noticed my health was better. My headache was relieved and I was get ting stronger. I have a better appe tite and can eat anything I want. I no longer have that tired feeling, my color is normal and I am gaining in flesh." Grip Victim Needs a Tonlr. The debility that invariably follows influenza is not a disease of any one organ. It is a general condition of un fitness. It must be met by a remedy whose good results will be quickly generalized throughout the entire sys tem. In fact, it must be corrected by building up the blood which, when rich and red. carries renewed health and strength to every part of the body. Our booklet. "Building Up the Blood." contains a chapter on after-effects of the grip which will interest everyone who has been a victim of the epidemic.
