THE SUNDAY OREGON IAN, PORTLAND DECEMBER 19, 1909. 3 JOIN TWO STATE BOARDS IS PLAN Health Body Believes Dairy and Food Commissioner Is Superfluous.' INITIATIVE BILL PROPOSED f'rlotion. Members Think, Can Tims TSo Done Away With Vater Sup plies and Typhoid Epidemic Discussed at Meeting. Abolition of the State Board of Health and the office of State Dairy nd Food Commissioner and a consoli dation of the functions of the two or ganizations will be proposed In an ini tiative measure which the members of the State Board of Health will submit to the voters of the state at the next general election in November. 1910. Through a reorganization of the state board with the offlce of the Dairy and Food Commissioner, it is asserted by the friends of the proposed measure, that all ponsibility of friction will be removed and efforts better to protect the public health will be promoted. This action was'decided upon at an adjourned meeting of the State Board," of Health in Portland Friday, follow ing a formal annual meeting at Salem earlier in the. week. There was some diecusslon as to the purity of the sup ply of milk furnislied consumers throughout the state, and the members of the board took the position that the Quality of this product could be Im proved only through the active co-operation of Federal, state Bnd municipal authorities. Hood River's Water Questioned. Among other subjects called to the attention of the board was the decision of the residents of Hood River to in stall a water plant. The purity of the proposed supply of water for that town will be made the subject of official Investigation by the members of tUe board. T-crlef reference also was made to the situation existing In Salem, where there prevails an epidemic of typhoid fever, resulting presumably from an Impure water Mipply. The residents of that city, however, are reported already to lave taken preliminary steps toward fnstalling a new service, by which all 'residents will be served with water ('dlvcrted from the Santlam River in i the foothills, about 30 miles away. Dr. AVhile Succeeds Yenney. The resignation of Dr. R. C. Tenney, ef this city, who has served as sec retary of the board since June, 1905, was uccepted and Dr. C. S. "White, also of this cJty, was selected as his suc eessor. The ofilce pays a salary of J12 a month, out of which the secre tary is required to furnish suitable ofllces for the meetings of the board. i In the annual election of officers. Dr. W. B. Morse, of Salem, was elected president, and Dr. Andrew C. Smith, of this city, was made vice-president. The other members of the board are: Dr. E. B. picket, of Medford: Dr. Al fred Plckel, of Astoria, and Dr. C. -Smith, of Pendleton. 1 r. Smith, of Pendleton, reported that Attorney-tJeneral Crawford had ren dered a dei-lslnn holding that, until spe cific legislation was enacted on the sub vert, the board eould not demand the right t approve the plans for the con sumption of new erhool buildings t ixoiigUout the state. The members of the board hud taken the position that to them properly belonged the right to ln-pe-t t lie r'lans for all school buildings before ontf1s were awarded, as to the sufficiency of the heating, light and ven tilating accommodations. Typhoid Epidemic Turtles. Dr. J. V. Norris, health officer for Clackamas County, has called the atten tion of the iftate. Board of Health to an unusual condition existing at Willamette, a small, town on the Willamette River about three miles south of Oregon City. With a population of only 350, there are l!0 cases of typhoid fever In this small town. The mysterious part of the situa tion is that Willamette derives its water supply from a large spring on the edge of the town. The appearance of a ty phoid fever epidemic has led to the con clusion that there must be tome Infec tion In the water, samples of which have been sent to Portland for analysis. PERSON ALJMENTION.

Powerful Liquor Interests Strongly Oppose This Plan and Warm Times Are Forecasted. PARIS. lec. 18. (Special.) France has her budget question very much to tho fore at this moment. The publicans are up In arms because of the new duties on alco hol. There was a monster meeting of protest a few days ago, attended by 10.000 people. A procession of eeveral thous ands went to the Chamber and a deputa tion was subsequently received by the Premier and by the Minister of Finance, M. Cochery.' There is a deficit of Ji0.00o.000 in the government budget and many millions are to be laid out on new warships. For the first time in years the keeper of the national purse has taken the nation into his confidence and said: "You owe this money; you must pay. Furthermore, you've borrowed quite enough; you mist pay now, on the nail." This Is astonishing frankness on the eve of the general elections. Forty million dollars to be taken out of the pockets of the taxpayers! A good deal of it Is com ing out of drink, if M. Cochery has his way; but the "debltant" is a powerfiS enemy. There are no halls for public meetings in the remote French provinces, and the caucus cits to decide the political destinies of the district on the premises of Bonifa-je. When the elections draw near the publican can perform immense services for his side by enlarging the mar gin of his hospitality. Today-he is incensed, and assembled in congress; he has practically decided to go on strike. If the government presses tho taxes he will refuse to take out a license. He complains of various things of tho Intolerant attitude of the tax col lector, and o the privileges afforded to private distillers. This privilege of dis tillation is given, under certain condi tions, to farmers, Just as in the old days home-brewed ale Was one of the activities of English homesteads. Like the purveyors of food and liquor, the hotelkeepers are up in arms against M. Cochery's budget and are determined to oppose it tooth and nail. They held a big meeting, at which they adopted a resolution setting forth that they consider the' proposed new taxes to be utterly un justified, and that they are convinced that, if there is a deficit, 'it is due to waste, and could easily bo made tip by that economy which every candidate Making a. A Person With Bad Breath Invariably Impresses People Unfavorably. Every one desires to make a good impression with other people with whom they come in contact, whether in a business or social way. Njo matter how well dressed a per son may be, or how well educated or accomplished. If he or she has an of fensive breath, every other considera tion and good quality is likely to be overlooked, and the impression made is likely to be an unfavorable one. Tli employer "in selecting an em ploye is almost certain to reject the api-licant whose breath is offensive, even though he may seem a good ac quisition in every other way. No merchant cares to employ a clerk whose breath is foul, to wait on his customers; he would probably drive trade away. Neither does an official desire to have such a person employed in his office. Many a person making an applica tion for a position has been rejected by a prospective employer on account of this undesirable possession, which proves so disagreeable to other per sons, and often the applicant hasn't the slightest idea as to why he was "turned down," sine he seemed to fill the requirements of the position in all particulars. Every one who Is so unfortunate to possess bad breath, whether caused by disordered stomach, decayed "teeth or nasal catarrh, should use STUART'S promises, but Is apt to forget when Jie gets safely into Parliament. They add that the new taxes would, if enforced, "complete the ruin of the small trades people, and also of the hotelkeepers, who are already overburdened." and they have empowered their representatives to bring this resolution to the notice of the Presl-df-nt of the Council and the Minister of Finance. In the course of a conversation after this meeting, the president of their syn dicate said that they meant to be even more energetic than the National Fed eration of Dealers In Liquor. For one thing, they were resolved to oppose the constant increase of the number of func tionaries, some of whom received thou sands of dollars per annum, but did ab solutely nothing. Since 1900 the taxes had increased at an enormous rate, and now they were all resolved to oppose the Deputies for Paris and the provinces who might vote the new taxes, when the general election came off. The hotelkeepers' syndicate, said the president, embraced the whole of France and its members, even in remote corners, would know what to do. as they would receive instructions from headquarters. Thus the hotelkeepers will have to be reckoned with, as well as the publicans, and, as they are both powerful bodies, their opposition is not to be despised. There is, moreover, some talk of a flat refusal to pay the new taxes if they are voted ' by Parliament. "CAT" STILL MAINTAINED Abolishment of Cruel Whip in Oran gia Is Defeated. CAPETOWN, Dec, 18. (Special.) From a recent discussion "in the House of As sembly at Bloemtonteln it appears that the use of the cat-o' -nine-tails' is etill permissible in Orangla for the enforce ment of prison discipline. In the course of a debate on the Pris ons bill. Sir John Fraser moved that In prison discipline "lashes" should mean "cuts or strokes with rod or cane." He referred to lashing with the cat-o'-ninetails as a relic of barbarism, which should be abolished. A. G.' Barlow also pointed out that the "cat-o'-nine-tails" was not used In the Transvaal, where punishment was by the rod, and proved effective without leaving permanent injur-. The Attorney-General said he would not be Justified in accepting the amendment, and it .was rejected. Defense to Be Studied. LONDON, Dec. 18. (Special.)
