One hundred and fifty - delegates

the problem of public utilities" and

in 27 years.
Senator Kuykendall, chairman, of
the public service commisr ion of the
Ktate of Washington, delivered the
principal address yesterday afternoon,
when he spoke on the tendency of
the publio to accept and consider
problems of public utilities before
passing judgment on their acts.
Xew Day Held Dawning.
"A new day Is dawning for public
otilities." he declared. "There remain
agitators who attack any concession
granted by service commissions,
thereby making political capital form
their attack, but the public at large
Is fast learning to accept the candid
statements of the utilities and allow
them a fair percentage on their in
vestments. It Is- the primary duty
of the utllitiesto render a proper
service In return for their charge,
and if they will but put this service
forward, rendering it properly, they
will find criticism from the public
diminishing more and more."

utility.

LET us show you the Certificate of Authen
ticity which Miss Verlet has signed. This is
the outstanding fact which comes to you out of
the memorable tone-test recital given last
Wednesday at the White Temple. A new era in
music is here. Mr; Edison has lifted the phono
graph to the dignity of a new art.
You can no longer be satisfied with a phono
graph that imitates. Now, you want a phono
graph that equals the human voice.
You know there is such a ph'onograph. Mr. Edison
made an astounding tes with the Official Laboratory
Model of the New Edison to prove it. Portland heard the.
New Edison Re-Create Alice Verlet's voice in direct com
parison with Verlet's living voice. So realistic was the
New Edison's performance that no one in the entire, audi
ence could distinguish it from Verlet's living voice.
The NEW EDISON
. "The Phonograph With a Soul"
You yourself can have such a phonograph. Let us show
you exact duplicates of the Official Laboratory Model,
which triumphed in the tone-test. Let us show you the
Certificate of Authenticity, which Miss Verlet signed after
inspecting these instruments, and in which the great prima
donna declares that these instruments are the equals in
every respect of the instrument used in the tone-test.
You can buy your New Edison on a Budget plan which
so distributes the payments that you'll hardly fel them.

STAGE DRIVER TELLS
OE HIS EXPERIENCE
Can't Help Praising Tanlac
After It Ended His Seven
Years of Stomach
Trouble, Declares Nudel-man.
PHONE YOUR WANT ADS TO THE. OREGONIAN
"A man Just can't hardly help prais
ing the medicine that restores him to
health after suffering as long and as
hard as I have," said M. Nudelman of
441 Ross street, Portland, Or., while
telling1 of the remarkable benefits he
had received from a few bottles of
Tanlac. Mr. Nudelman Is well known
In Portland, having lived there for
twenty years, and operates an auto
stage out of Portland to Vancouver,
B. C.
For the past six or seven years I
have suffered terribly from a severe
case of stomach trouble, and my ap
petite dwindled away to almost noth
ing. I had to be very careful of what
ate as anything that had the least
little acid in it would put my stomach
in an awful conditibn. In fact nearly
everything upset me, and the cas and
pains in my stomach would just al
most drive roe to distraction.
"I suffered a great deal from con
stipation, and had awful headaches
that worried me dreadfully. I had
rheumatism In my legs and feet so
bad that I could hardly drive my car,
and my hands would get so tired on a
long drive that I just had to stop and
rest them. I was so nervous that the
least little thing would upset me, and
my condition was simply miserable.
"I kept hearing so much good about
Tanlac that I decided to see whether
it. would help me any, and began tak
ing it. Well, sir, it proved to be the
very thing I was needing, for I gained
eleven pounds on the first two bottles,
and since taking four bottles I'm in
the best of health again.
"My appetite is fine, and I can eat
just anything- I want now without my
stomach troubling ma any at all. I'm
no longer worried with constipation
and headaches, and tho rheumatism
has entirely disappeared. 1 don't hesi
tate to 'recommend Tanlac since it's
put me in such fine condition, and my
wife ha3 also taken the medicine with
splendid results."
Tanlar Is sold in Portland by the
Owl Drug Co. Adv.
Motorman Not Losing Any
Time
"I don't think anyone ever buf
fered more from stomach trouble and
bloating than I have. I had to lay
off my run more than half the time
and could get no help from prescrip
tions or medicine. One of my friends
advised using Mayr's Wonderful Rem
edy, which I found to be the greatest
remedy ever put on the earth. I have
not lost a day since taking it. It is
worth its weight in gold." It is a
simple, harmless preparation that re
moves the catarrhal mucus from the
intestinal tract and allays the in
flammation which causes practically
all stomach, liver and intestinal ail
ments, including appendicitis. One
dose will convince or money re
funded. At all druggists. Adv.
