The unique and tasteful decorations were greatly admired by the 200 guests.

WATCHED THE OLD YEAR. OUT. Employee of Ellcra- Plnno-Housc Welcome lOO.'l. The new year probably had no heartier nor more whole-souled welcome anywhere In Portland than at the residence of Mr. Henry Ellers, Tenth and Alder, where all the employes of the house. Including of fice, sales, repair and dray departments, with their wives and families, assembled to watch the old year out and the now one In. Early In the evening the doors of the parlors were rolled back, disclos ing a magnificent Christmas tree, brill iant with sparkling ornaments and lights and laden with mysterious packages. Every one of the 41 employes of the house had been handsomely remembered by the firm at Christmas, and this New Year's celebration was planned among the employes themselves, for the puriwso of demonstrating the high appreciation existing among themselves and the vari ous departments. When the distribution from the tree was made, the many amus ing gifts which their wrappings concealed proved that there certainly had been "somethln' doln'." Not a package was opened but contained a good-natured "Jolly" for some one present, and, as handled by Mr. Ellers, the presentation was most amusing. Everything took a most happy turn, and each victim stepped up and took his medicine "like a little man" with what grace he or she could muster, amid a continual roar of laughter and applause. Thus the old year wore on to the new, and when the hour of mid night arrived, everybody adjourned to the veranda and welcomed the new one with a volley of flreworlM and a gfeetlng of Jiorns and other musical instruments that left nothing to be desired In the way of noise. After this had been accomplished there were refreshments and such a gen eral good time that the wee sma' hours found the crowd reluctant to adjourn. Clopton, Miss Roberts and Miss Lane, and Mrs. C.

START 1903 The best way to start a new year is not to sit bewailing the blunders of days gone by. Instead, it is to rise up with fresh energy, with eyes to the front, resolved to profit by past ex perience. What is experience?. It is knowledge gained from past deeds.' That is the point where the ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITAN NICA makes its great appeal. It sums up for a man all the experience of all the other men since the world began. . Do you think you are strong enough to ignore all this past experience in beginning another year?- THE DESIRE TO IMPROVE Is the one element which has uplifted whole races, and made entire civilizations! Kingdoms have passed away and new states, have arisen, simply because individual men have resolved to better themselves. The story of fheir struggles and the results of their labors are printed for your benefit in the ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITAN NICA. THE NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION Should include the procuring of this splendid set of books. It is the finest single equipment for success ever prepared. Its 31 volumes were a century and a quarter in the making, and repre sent an outlay of three millions of dollars. The New Twentieth Century Edition will give you the latest facts in history and biography, the most recent researches in. chemistry, mechanics and engineering, the last word in surgery and theology, the pres ent status of the Roentgen ray and wireless telegrapliy. If you start 1903 with BRITANNICA, you can turn over 12,000 new leaves instead of one! IN WHATEVER LINE Of trade or professional work you may be engaged you cannot afford to begin the New Year without this Prince of reference works particularly when it is now within your grasp at Less Than Half Price, and payable a little at a time. . The fact that more BRITANNICAS were sold in 1902 than all other encyclopaedias combined bespeaks its merit and popu larity. ' WHAT THE COUPON DOES. The Free Inquiry Coupon, if used promptly, will bring you .handsome specimen pages and full particulars; and will entitle you to the special price and to a bookcase made for the Ency clopaedia, t But it should be sent at once. WHAT IS SAID OF IT. "It Is without a peer In the whole noble army of encyclopaedias." LYMAN ABBOTT. D. D. "The Encyclopaedia Britannica Is king of its tribe." PROF DAVID SWING. , "The moat useful reference book for young or old Is the Encyclopaedia Brit annica. Children beginning at 10 yeare old and on need Its stories of histori cal, biographical, mythological, elementary-sclenUfie, natural history infor mation. The eager boy can study balloons, kinds, of dogs or firearms, loco motives, habits otjhe house fly or cockroach. The youth may want informa tion on subjects from geology or electricity to the settlements of the r iji lsianas, or volcanoes ana earthquakes, or a most fascinating story of Napoleon; and for the still older all the fundamental conception of law, medicine, theology, ethicw, sociology, curves and functions, archi tecture, art all the way up. perhaps, to the origin of some fine editorial on Chinese metaphysics. Whether for educaUon or information, no man who. once has this book wljlever let himself or his children be without constant access to It. If another deluge came, and the ark had room for but one secular book, this Is beyond any doubt the one." CLEM ENT BATES.

This Is an important achieve ment. It replaces danger with tmfety. It forestalls enronic complications. It removes the InfecUon and inflammation before the vital center, the prostate gland, can become Involved. To many men It means the difference between perfect health and a lifetime of misery and functional weakness. Our method is ours alone. Our treatment is orig inal. In some features it resembles the ordinary. In its chief esentials it is different. In results It Is entirely different. It Is safe, prompt and thorough. VARICOCELE Varicocele interferes with local cir culation and the process of waste and repair throughout the organs Involved. When neglected it brings total or par tial loss of power, and may even result In a wasting away of the organs themselves. We cure varicocele quickly, our metnoa is aosomieiy painiess; no surgical operation Is Involved, and there I no detention from business. The lost tone and elasticity is restored, the weakened and dilated veins are strengthened and normal circulation, and health are again established. Specific Blood Poison Until thp. tvrfection of our system of treatment, specific blood poison was commonly regarded as Incurable, and the limit of medical aid was to keep the disease dormant by the use of strong mineral drugs. We positively drive the last taint of poison from the system. Our cures are absolute. Every nvmntnm vanishes to appear no more. We use harmless blood cleansing remedies only such as were never before used In the treatment of this disease. Our Practice Is the Largest Because We Invariably Fulfill Our Promises. W. NORTON DAVIS. II. D. The Leadlnz Specialist. 3 Painless Cure for Urethral Obstruction Without cutting or dilating, and by mild and absolutely painless treatment, we cure urethal obstruc tion completely. All obstructing tissue is dissolved, all Inflammation or irritation removed, and every membrane of the system involved Is thoroughly cleansed and restored to a healthy state. No failures a perfect cure in every Instance. PILES Permanently Cured Though we have heretofore made little mention of this troublesome affliction, we are constantly curing cases of plies that other physicians have been unable to relieve. Our treatment is mild, gentle and certain, and our practice in this dis ease constantly grows as a result of recommendations from, those whom we have cured.
