RELIEF FUND REQUIRED
Public "Welfare Bureau Will Aid
Unfortunate During Winter and
Also rrovi&o Clirlstmas Cheer.
The Oreironlan will receive contributions
for thqfre.ief fund of the public welfare
bureau, and acknowledge them daily In
the columns of the paper. Make checks
payable to The Oregonlan. The money
wU be turned over at once to the bureau.
Five hundred families of Portland
will be cold and hungry during the
wirter months this year, unless other
families, more fortunate, aid them
through the Public Welfare bureau.
A few dollars will go far toward
helping those who have lost all hope
of enjoying arty Christmas cheer.
The bureau's idea this year is to
distribute aid through a special re
lief fund during all the winter months
instead of just at Christmas time.
Daily, the bureau hears of, famil
ies who need immediate care and at
tention. The relief fund will help
to make them happy.
Typical Family I Shown.
A typical family is as follows:
Case 1. A family of 13 motherless
children, ranging in age from 13
months to a boy nearly 20 years. The
father, a common laborer, has had
to stay at home, because he can find
no one to care for the children. The
oldest boy is not strong, but he has
been the principal means of eupport
for the family, aided 1 a brother of
15 years.
The boys' clothing Is so ragged
that they find it hard to get jobs.
All the children need necessary cloth
ing, shoes and bedding.
Cannot Meet Expenses.
The wages of the boys are barely
sufficient to pay for the living ex
penses of the family of 14. They are
unable to meet doctor bills.
The family got along fairly well
until the mother died last April. The
oldest girl is only 11, and on her
falls most of the burden of the house
keeping, assisted by her father.
The children have no toys. When
the family was visited, a little girl of
5 asked:
"Do you suppose Santa Claus can
find us way out here? I want a
dolly so much."
Boy Wants Pair of Skates.
A boy of 7 wants a pair of skates.
These children do not ask-for these
thingrs. They simply speak of them
as dreams, which they know can
never come true.
A check to The Oregonlan, which Is
acting as the agent of the bureau in
collecting money for the relief fund,
will help these children, and the
many others Vvho otherwise would
spend a Joyless Christmas day.

Well-Known Portland Attor
ney Dies Suddenly.
FAMILY PROMINENT ONE
JLawyer Popular and Known
Throughout Oregon a Authority
on Municipal Law.
Ralph Rolefson Dunlway. Portland
attorney, died suddenly at the Port
land Medical hospital , yesterday
morning. He hao, been at the hospi
tal for about a month, suffering from
acute muscular rheumatism, but was
thought to be on the road to recovery,
the end coming quite unexpectedly.
Mr. Duniway was born November 7,
1S69. at Albany, Or., the son of Ben
jamin C and Abigail Scott Duniway.
He came to Portland in 1871 and in
1S92 was graduated from the law de
partment of Cornell University. He
was admitted to the bar of the state

He served as first assistant city at

He practiced law from the same of
fices in the Chamber of Commerce

Attorney Gains Reputation.
Mr. Duniway was known through
out Oregon as an authority on mu
nicipal law. Prominent attorneys of
the cify say that the present law In
regard to city procedure in the mat
ter of making improvements has been
largely developed by the cases
brought by him and taken to. the su
preme court.
He was known as a keen student
of public affairs, who never hesitated
to champion a cause he deemed
worthy. When preparedness was con
sidered a Joke by a great many, Mr.
Duniway was one of the organizers
of the Lawyers' auxiliary and took
a prominent part in all war activities.
He served In the Multnomah Guard
and as a four-minute man.
"Mr. Duniway was an indefatigable
worker," said Judge Conrad P. Olson
yesterday. "He was a master of de
tail and was unswervingly loyal to
his clients. He carried the fight for
them to the court of last resort
whether the cause was popular or
not. During his long practice he
won some notable victories and was
attorney In some noted cases, such
as the Kadderly case, where the initia
tive and referendum were sustained."
Family Well Known. t
Mr. Duniway came from pioneer
stock. His mother, Abigail Scott
Duniway, was known in Oregon and
throughout the United States as the
mother of suffrage here. His uncje
was Harvey W. Scott, former editor
of The Oregonlan.
He was the youngest of six chil
dren, the two oldest of whom are
dead. His sister. Mrs. Clara Belle
Stearns, died in 1S85, and his oldest
brother, Willis, ex-state printer, died
in 1913.

wife, Kate Duniway; a eon, Robert,
and a daughter, Katherine, and his
brothers, Wilkie C. of Portland, Dr.

You might be surprised to know
that the best thins you can use for
a severe cough, is a remedy which,
is eaBily prepared at home in just
a few moments. It's cheap, but for
prompt results it beats anything else
you ever tried. Usually stops the
ordinary cough or chest cold in 24
hours. Tastes pleasant, too children
like it and it is pure and good.
Pour 2 ounces " of Pinex in a
pint bottle; then fill it up with plain
granulated sugar syrup. Or use clari
fied molasses, honey, or corn syrup,
instead of sugar syrup, if desired.
Thus you make a full pint a family,
supply but costing no more than a
small bottle of ready-made cough
syrup.
And as a cough medicine, there is
really nothing better to be had . at
any price. It goes right to the spot
and gives quick, lasting' relief. It
promptly heals the inflamed mem
branes that line the throat and air
passages, stops the 'annoying throat
tickle, loosens the phlegm, and soon
your cough stops entirely. Splendid
tor bronchitis, croup, hoarseness and
bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com-
Fiound of Norway pine extract,
amous for healing the membranes.
To avoid disappointment ask your

Explains why over five million
cans of the New Karo 'were
sold last year! A record:
From the finest maple groves in Vermont and
Canada come each year over a thousand tons of
the purest and best flavored maple sugar to
flavor the New Karo.
The makers of Karo are the world's largest
buyers of maple sugar.
Which explains the purity and delicious flavor
of the New Karo.
That part of Vermont, near Burlington, is
noted for its rich maple syrup and maple sugar.
It supplies much of the sugar used in the New
Karo,
' , A tribute to Karo is the fact that one of the
largest maple grove owners in this section regu
larly orders the New Karo for his employees.
The price of. the New Karo is remarkably
moderate economical enough to serve every
meal and costs less than many syrups of sim
ilar quality and flavor.
Go to your grocer today and buy a can of the
New Karof Serve it Compare it for price
and flavor with any maple or maple-flavor
syrups. If you don't think it's a real treat
your grocer will return your money.

couldn't eat anything but what would
sour and ferment in my stomach, and
gas formed In such quantities It made
breathing difficult for me. I had awful
sick headaches and at times became
so dizzy everything eeemed to be go

to stand still a while before going on.
I had such pain in the region of. my
kldineys I could hardly bear to stoop
over, and was so restless I would lie
awake nearly all nlKht. I would get
up at morning feeling as tired as
when I went to bed, and had scarcely
any energy or strength at all.
"One of the boys down at the
foundry got me to try Tanlac and it
began building me up from the very
start. Well, sir. It has only taken
three bottles of the medicine to put
an end to all my troubles. I have a
splendid appetite now, my stomach
never bothersome, and I-never have
an ache or pain. I sleep good and
sound, have regained all my strength
