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.

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.

CHARCOAL LOZENGES, which afford
immediate relief from this trouble.
Charcoal is a powerful absorbent of
foul gases, and quickly oxidizes and
purifies" bad breaW- The charcoal
from which these lozenges are made is
the best that money can buy, and pos
sesses a higher power of absorption not
present In other and minor brands.
Bad breath from any cause cannot
exist for a moment when they are used,
and all persons who are subject to foul
and offensive breath should rid them
selves of what amounts to a positive
nuisance by using these powerful ab
sorbing lozenges.
Use them freely before going in
company or to church, or to the thea
ter, in fact, to any place where you
will be brought into close contact with
other people.
Before visiting your dentist, or your
physician, or your barber, purify your
breath, and take a box of Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges with you, and keep
your breath pure and free from taint.
These lozenges surpass all others in
their marvelous powers of absorption,
- as It has been proved again and again
that they will absorb one hundred times
their own Tolume In gases.
Every druggist has them in stock,
