Superintendent Ackerman does not know Burdette and has no other Information A HE.RO ' Of the Spanish-American War Has Been Cured by Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. BERGT. JAMES J. WARD. Sergeant Ward, Company C, Seventy-first Virginia, stationed at Newport News, Va., returned from the Spanish-American War broken down In health from exposure ana the hardships of the tropical climate. Hi doctor prescribed Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. After he had been using it for two months he said he had fully recovered his robust health and cleaned his system of all fever and other disease germs. He was troubled with Indigestion and It cured him. He cannot say too much In favor of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey and what it has done for him. Many of our brave soldiers returned sick and broken down just as Sergeant Ward did, and have been restored to per fect health by Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. It is a blessing to the thousands who need a body-builder; it rids the syctem of all disease germs, and it aids digestion, stim ulates the blood and Is a food for body and brain. If you feel tired and worn out just try Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. We will guarantee that Inside of two weeks you will feel so much better that you will say it is 4he be9t medicine in the world. Do not fill your system with harm ful drugs. Doctors prescribe and hos pitals use Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey whenever an ebsolutely pure alcoholic stimulant and tonic are required. Write Duffy Malt Whiskey Co., Rochester, N. Y., for free advice and free medical booklet All druggists and grocers sell Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey; $1 a bottle. Be careful and see that you get the genu ine; look for the trade-mark and name on the bottle, and see that the seal on the cork Is unbroken. Refuse substitutes; they are Injurious. regarding the working of this scheme to obtain money from Oregon schools. Whether there Is anything In the story told by Burdette It is well known by school superintendents all over the state that directors of country schools are fre quently imposed upon by smooth agents for school supplies, and there Is scarcely a school In the state that has not charts and maps for which an exorbitant price was paid. City school districts do not furnish so profitable a market for that kind of apparatus. In country districts where the directors transact business sep arately, each saying that he "is willing If the others "are," a shrewd and un scrupulous agent can effect sales to great advantage.
