to Be Asked.
It was announced yesterday that dlf
ferences between the Portland Railway.
Light & Power Company and the Amer
lean Automatic Fender Company have
been adjusted and that the manurae
ture of the Nelson air-controlled fen
ders. for installation on the Portland
cars, will be begun Immediately.
This resulted after a series of con
ferences last week between B. 8. Josse
lyn. president of the local street rail
way company, and F. E. Manchester,
Portland representative of the fender
company. C M. Clark, of Fhllaaeipnia.
one of the principal stockholders In
the Portland Railway. Light & Power
Company, also took an Interest In the
settlement of the fender problem on
his recent visit to Portland.
Under the terms of the agreement
reached yesterday. 100 Nelson fenders
will be Installed on the Portland street
cars as soon as they can be manufac
tured. These fenders will be distrib
uted over all the lines of the city for
the purpose of a thorough test, with
a view to making any changes or Im
provements In construction that may
be found necessary or advisable, before
quipping the remainder of the cars
here.
On account of the narrow-gauge
tracks, sharp curves and grades on
several of the lines, it will be neces
sary to manufacture special equipment
for Portland, and the designs and spec,
ificatlons for the fenders will be
passed on by the officials of the Port
land Railway. Light A Power Company
before the entire contract Is carried
out.
Josselyn Is Pleased.
Mr. Josselyn expressed his gratifica
tion over the settlement of thej long-drawn-out
fender controversy.
"I am free to confess," he said, "that
a recent examination of the Nelson
fender haa given me a better Impres
sion of it than I had. and If It will do
the work that Its Inventor claims for
It. we will certainly want It on all our
cars at the earliest possible date.
-It is admitted by Mr. Nelson him
self that the fender Is now undergoing
certain changes and Improvements, and
this alone Justifies ns in contracting
for only a part of the equipment at
this time. We desire to give the citl
s.na of Portland the best fender to be
found, and we want to have the ad
- vantage of all the latest Improvements
and modifications when we equip our
lines with a safety device of this kind.
-Our objection has been not so much
to the Nelson fender as to the project
ing type of fender. We have felt that
on account of the narrow streets and
sharp curves, as. well as the crowded
traffic conditions, a wheel guard was
preferable to a projecting fender for
service In Portland. However, the clti
sens of this city may be expected to
become accustomed to the projecting
fender, and when they do. one serious
objection to the Nelson fender will
have been overcome.
Mr. Manchester said he believed the
position of Mr. Josselyn had been mis
understood regarding the fender ques
tion, as he experienced no difficulty
whatever in arriving at a satisfactory
settlement as soon as he took It up
with Mr. Josselyn.
Difference Found Trivial.
"I found." said Mr. Manchester, "that
he was perfectly willing to comply
with the terms of the ordinance, and
that the differences between the street
railway company and the fender com
pany were really unimportant."
It will be Impossible to comply with
that provision of the fender ordinance
which requires all cars to be equipped
with fenders by July 1. It Is there
' f ore likely that a new ordinance will
be presented to the City Council al
lowing a reasonable extension of time
for Installing the equipment. The new
ordinance will also prescribe suitable
fenders for the magnetic brake cars,
the nonalr cars and the large Inter
urban cars operated here.
For more than three years tests of
fenders and wheel guards have been
conducted on the testing grounds at
Twenty-sixth and Tpshur streets under
the direction of the Mayor and City
Council. More than 30 different de
vices were demonstrated and tested.
Many bushels of sand and sawdust
were scattered about the grounds as
numerous dummies were ground to
pieces by the fenders or the wheels
of the care.
Finally, last October, the subject waa
settled by the passage of an ordinance
adopting the Nelson air-controlled au
tomatic fender for use on all air cars.
An ordinance Is pending for the
adoption of what la known as the
Hunter wheel guards for all nonalr
cars, and the pilot type of fender for
use on the large Interurban cars op
erating In Portland. It Is probable
that an entirely new ordinance will
be presented, covering all three types
of fenders In the one ordinance. This
ordinance will also probably allow a
reasonable extension of time beyond
July 1 for the Installation of fender
equipment on the Portland streetcars.

HONEST CONFESSION
A Doctor's Talk on Food
There are no fairer set of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been In error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
admission of the fact.
A caaa In point Is that of a practi
tioner, one ot the good old school, who
lives In Texas. His plain, unvarnished
tale needs no dressing up:
"I had always had an Intense preju
dice, which I can now see was unwar
rantable and unreasonable, against all
muchly advertised foods. Hence. I
never read a line of the many 'ads' of
Grape-Nuts, nor tasted the food till
last Winter.
"While In Corpus Chrlstl for my
health, and visiting my youngest son.
who has four of the ruddiest, health
iest little boys I ever saw, I ate my
first dish of Grape-Nuts food for sup
per wtlh my little grandsons.
"I became exceedingly fond of it and
have eaten a package of It every wee-i
since, and find It a delicious, refresh
ing and strengthening food, leaving no
ill effects whatever, causing no eructa
tions (with which I was formerly much
troubled), no sense of fullness, nau
sea, nor distress of stomach in any
way.
-There Is no other food that agrees
with me so well, or sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach as this
does.
"I am stronger and more active since
I began the use of Grape-Nuts than I
have been for 10 years, and am no
longer troubled with nausea and Indi
gestion." Name given by Postum Co,

the French to be the best and employs
both French and Flemish workmen.
Yesterday was the formal opening
of the exhibition In Portland and was
largely attended by society and art
loving folk of the city. The rooms of
the ArU and Crafts Society were
adorned with the Herter samples, some
radiant with brilliant blues and golds,
others duller and with the touch of
age upon them, causing them to appear

are they In detail.
Besides this exhibition there Is an
other collection which was shown in

This Is composed of several proofs
taken from plates of mezzotinting

THE WORLD'S GREATEST h-

Three Day
HAS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INVESTED
NEAL THREE-DAY CORE
Government, Official, Individual Endorsements
"Wherever the sun shines there are
countless thousands of human belners
who are dally and nightly waging- an
uneven and losing warfare with the
demon ALCOHOL. They would like to
escape' from his thraldom, but. with
their poisoned bodies and brains they
are powerless to do so.
If such persons and their friends only
knew how easily, surely, and quickly
many thousands of good men and
women have been perfectly and satis
factorily cured in the short space of
time of only three days by the Neal
treatment they would gladly and
Fromptly accept the opportunity of
ered. Thev are skeptical and incredu
lous they forget that we are, and have
been living In an age of unparalleled
and wonderful progress and advance
ment; that the lightning express of to
day actually annihilates distance as
compared with the stage coach of our
fathers; that medical skill and science
have kept abreast of the times, and
that, therefore. It Is not surprising to
know that Doctor Neal, after many
years exclusively spent in study, ex -
erImont, and investigation of alcohol
m. Its cause, effect and cure, has
originated a treatment which antidotes,
neutralizes and eliminates the poison
of alcohol from the system and cures
the drink habit, giving the same and
better results In three days than has
been given to the many afflicted thou
sands by the old-time cures of ten to
flftv years ago, with their hundreds
of painful and dangerous hypodermic
Injections and requiring from three to
seven weeks' time of the patient. On
account of the long time required thou
sands upon thousands of good men
have imagined that they could not
spare the long time required but later
have spared the time to attend their
own funeral.
First: THE NEAL INSTITUTE lo
cated at 354 Hall street, in this city. Is
one of a mighty chain of Neal Insti
tutes life-saving stations in which
thousands are annually rescued and
saved from the curse of drink, extend
ing from far-off Australia to the east
ern shores of this continent. In this
country the Neal treatment Is admin
istered at Neal Institutes similar to the
one in this city, established at Port
land. Maine; Boston. New York City,
Buffalo, Baltimore. Jacksonville, Flor
ida; Cleveland and Cincinnati, Ohio;
Superior. Wis.; St. Paul and Minne
apolis, Minn.; Chicago and Murphys
boro, Ill.j Indianapolis and New Al
bany, Ind.; Memphis, Tenn.; Little
Rock, Ark.; Springfield. Kansas City
and St Louf. Mo.; Des Moines, Daven
port and Sioux City, Iowa; Topeka,
Kansas; Albuquerque, N. Mexico;
Omaha arid Grand Island. Neb.; Sioux
Falls and Aberdeen, S. Dak.: Fargo,
N. Dak.; Houston, Texas; Spokane and
Seattle, "Wash.; Portland, Or., and San
Francisco and Los Angeles. Cal. In
Canada Neal Institutes are established
In every province from coast to coast.
In Australia the government has offi
cially Indorsed and adopted the Neal
treatment and Is administering the
same to hundreds of patients in a gov
ernment Institution established for that
purpose. Many other institutes are
contracted for and will be established
in the United States and foreign coun
tries at early dates.
Second: FIXAXCIAt, STANDING. The
National or parent company, known aa
the NEAL INSTITUTE COMPANY',
which stands not only at the head but
back of all local companies, is a cor
poration authorized by law with a paid
up capital of one million dollars, owned
and controlled by a representative class
of business and professional men, with
Its financial and business management
in charge of Hon. James E. Bruce, for
nine years a State Senator, a. banker, a
man of large means and high standing
in the professional and business world,
and the medical department In charsre
of and under the supervision of Dr.
Ben. E. Neal. the originator of the
treatment which bears his name.
The Neal institutes named above
represent an actual Investment of over
a million dollars, owned by representa
tive and leading professional and busi
ness men in each community, whose
' combined wealth aggregates many mil
lions of dollars. This, briefly stated, is
the financial status and backing of the
Neal Cure on the basis of which It
seeks and asks the patronage and co
operation of all good people everywhere.

Neal Institute, Portland, Or.
Third: ENDORSEMENTS. The Neal
Three-day Treatment is indorsed by all
governments, public officials and lead
ing business and professional men
particularly by members of the clergy,
who have Investigated, and by thou
sands of cured patients, their happy
families, relatives and friends. Among
these we mention the government of
Australia, and men with such National
and state standing and reputation as
Bishop Schinner, of Wisconsin; Hon.
John C. Sherman, Judge of the Iowa
Supreme Court; Rev. J. F. Nugent, the
well-known Catholic priest and plat
form lecturer of National reputation
names of hundreds of others, private
references to hundreds of cured pa
tients, financial reference to the larg
est banks and mercantile agencies in
the country will be cheerfully furnished
upon aRTilication.
Fourth: ALCOHOLIC POISON. Dr.
Neal has demonstrated that alcoholism,
or the drink habit, is due to and caused
"by the stored-up poison of alcohol In
the system coming from the long-continued
or excessipve use of alcohol,
and that this causes that extreme
nervousness, intense and unbearable
craving and gnawing within, calling
for more liquor, which all alcoholics
experience, and which they only can
fully appreciate and understand. Dr.
Neal has found the antidote for this
poison, and combining same with other
remedies, he has originated the Neal
treatment, which quickly antidotes
this poison, neutralizes and eliminates
It from the system, thus removing the
craving and the cause of it. When
this Is done, nature, aided by the pure
ly vegetable and perfectly harmless
medicines administered, takes care of
the rest, and in three days' time the
patient becomes a perfectly cured per
son and unless he or she and all rela
tives or friends are entirely satisfied
with the results accomplished at the
end of onlv three days' treatment all
money paid by the patient is promptly
refunded.
On tho above basis and terms, the
Neal Institute Company, in this city,
court? investigation; appeals for the
co-operation of all good people, and
asks for the patronage of all the af
flicted and those Interested in them,
with the assurance that you can deal
with the Neal Company with that same
self-confidence that you deal with your
own banker, family physician or min
ister at home. A personal call by
those interested at the Neal Institute,
854 Hall street, phone Marshall 2400. is
most desirable, but if that is not con
venient, phone or write or wire for
further free Information and advice,
and if vou live distant from the city,
they will furnish you the address of
Neal Institute nearest or most con
venient to your residence.
