of 71 Commercial street, who took
bichloride of mercury In mistake for a
mouth wash, and suffered serious re
sults. She Is at the Good Samaritan
Hospital, but her condition is not se
rious. Several odd accidents occurred dur
ing the week. Gus Doneiy was brought
to St. Vincent's Hospital last night in
an unconscious condition from Cotage
Grove. He has been that way since
Friday morning, when he was found
In the sawmill where he worked with
blood streaming from his ear. but there
is not a mark upon him to indicate
what might have caused the injuries.
Harry Kenney was brought to the
hospital because he tried to solve the
secrets of a dynamite cap by pounding
It with a rock.
Two Cases) of Paralysis Kaowau
Two cases of paralysis under re
markable circumstances are reported.
Friday evening. In front of the police
station, John Woods, a lineman, be
came partially paralyzed while work
ing at the top of a 40-foot pole. Two
policemen had to climb the pole to
rescue him. The other case is that of
W. H. Jones, manager of several con
cessions at the Oaks, who was sud
denly paralysed from the shoulders
downward while swimming in the rat.
atorlum at the amusement resort Mon
day night. He has shown little Im
provement since.
Two persons attempted suicide by
poisoning during the week. The num
ber of automobile victims is appalling.
Minor and more serious Injuries during
the week number at least a score. Two
have proved fatal and a third almost
fatal. The fatal cases are those of
Dora Dlnsaft. aged 8. run over Satur
day, the 13th. and Charles Prostrom.
who was struck by 'a taxlcab. It was
thought for a time that Albert Lech
thorn, who was struck by an automo
bile driven by Mrs. W. V. McCredie,
would die.
Automobile accidents have been In
creasing at an alarming rate lately.
This seems to be due to the utter
apathy with which the police have been
viewing violators of traffic regulations.
Violations o f these regulations are now
seen at very turn on the street. The
number of such accidents within the
last week is larger by several than the
number of automobile accidents hap
pening during the tlrst three months of
112.

Tuesday morning soon after Herman
Rosenthal was killed In front of the
Hotel Metropole. Mrs. Schepps, moth

morning and told me that he had a
chance to make some sales out of town

RANCE BARS MISBRANDS
Honey Made by Feeding Sugar to
Bees Comes Under Ban.
PARIS. July' 20. (Special.) An in
teresting case has Just been decided
ere. According to trench law a man
ufacturer of commodities such as
liqueurs is bound to add the words "de
fantaiale" if they are manufactured in
what the law stigmatizes as an artifi
cial manner. A few days ago a grocer
as summoned by the Paris police for
selling honey without the distinguish-
ng label. This honey was not made
Irect from the collected nectar, argued
the prosecution, and therefore was to
be described as "mlel de fantaisie."
The grocer defended himself by say
ing that his honey was the outcome of

a process perfectly familiar and legit
imate among beekeepers giving the
bees sugar instead of the naturally
collected nectar In order to stimulate
an Increased supply of honey. In his
own case, however, the honey was even
more legitimately acquired. Instead
of giving the bees ordinary sugar, he
allowed them to make use of the sugar
of their own honey.
The court was unmoved by the inge
nious defense, and the offending gro
cer was fined $5, and pronouncement
was made that all such honey, not be
ing the outcome of the bees' natural
conversion of their natural food, must
be distinguished, as "Mlel de fantaisie."
THE RIGHT OF A BOY
Real Urchins Call Little Lord Fannt
leroys "Sissies."
Cleveland (O.) Tribune.
The boy has a right to enjoy his
boyhood. So let him romp and play.
Don't try to make a "mother's darling"
out of him. Little Lord Fauntleroys
are all right In books, but not In this
world. Boys themselves call them
"sissies."
The key to manage a boy Is to
"finesse" with him. Do you remember
how Tom Sawyer got out of white
washing the fence? He took the brush
and pail and waited until he saw a
companion approaching. Then he got
busy and piled the whitewash on with
great energy. "You can't do that,"
he declared triumphantly. The upshot
was that Tom left the whitewashing
to the neighbor boy, while he went
fishing." Tom knew how to "finesse."
Tom Sawyer was written by a grown
up boy; he knew boys and their ways.
Don't ever tell a boy he can't do any
thing. If he is any kind of a boy at
all he will do it.
We have to pile a whole lot of fun in
our boyhood, for the days are not far
away when we will be grown up and
have our cares and our responsibilities,
when we will have to take up the bur
dens of life and have all too few
hours for playing.
Oh. for the boyhood's time of June,
Crowding years In one brief moon.
But all too soon tnese leei mu iiiuo

his hopeful tells him he ought to see

Yes, boyhood has its rights, and the
chief of them Is the blessedness of be

and, while they are nervous and appre

of their heart.

USURY EVIL SOLVED
New York Puts Loan Sharks
Out of Business.
PORTLAND MAY BE NEXT
Conditions in This City Similar to
Those In Gotham Hebrews Are
First to Care for Workers
in Financial Difficulty.
New York has solved the loan shark
problem. Following the confirmation
in the highest court of a statute leveled
at their business, 60-odd extortioners,
within the last week have closed their
shops and others have entered into
agreements to wind up all their out
standing loans on a 6 Der cent basis.
'Clearing up one problem has opened
the doors to another the providing of
a fair and honest substitute for - the
chattel loan agent for It is recognized
that these men served & useful pur
pose, though demanding outrageous
fees for the service. To meet the new
condition, the Russell Sage Foundation,
founded by Mrs. Sage, is bending ev
ery effort for the establishment of rem
edial loan agency.
So directly do the recent occurrences
In New York reflect conditions in Port
land that the history of the great clean
up of the extortioners is of much in
terest here. Lacking the statute which
has been found so effective in New
York, authorities here have now pend
lng an action against two' money
lenders, based on the nuisance statute,
and the question of law, whether the
statute covers the given case, Is now
pending in the Circuit Court.
Special Statute Urged.
While determined to press this case
because the sustaining of the law as
applied to it will affect the regulation
of many other unjust acts, those who
have been behind the movement are
now preparing to begin agitation for
the adoption here of the special statute
as enacted in New York. They recog
nize that this carries with it the second
problem, of providing some other means
of making emergency loans lor tne de
serving poor, upon some basis more
equitable than that maintained by tne
sharks. Steps to this end have been
proceeding languidly for months, but
are unexpected to take on new life with
the endouragement now given. Wealthy
men have promised adhesion to the
Drolect. but no one has taken the lnitl
atlve in reducing their pledges to
action.
The history of the brief but effect
ive, campaign in New York is stirring
reading. As soon as the validity of
the law was established beyond ques
tion, District Attorney Whitman went
to the heart of the matter by arresting
"King" Brodie, dean of the sharks, and
seized his safe, containing evidence of
his .transactions.
Borrowers Driven to Suicide.
One young man who had worked six
years for a loan shark went to the
District Attorney and told his story.
"I had to give it up," he said; "it was
too horrible. In my six years I Know
of 20 victims who were driven to their
deaths by the demands made upon
them. And each time a report was
made of a suicide the boss would re
mark, 'Well, we lose, but there will be
another sucker along pretty soon." "
While plans for a general loan com
pany in Portland have been proceeding
haltingly. Jewish citizens nave taKen
the lead in the reform, and are prepar
ing to take care of the business among
their people.
Articles of incorporation were filed
at the Courthouse Friday of the Inter
national Free Loan Association,. an or
ganization which, according to state
ments contained in the articles, pro
poses to loan money to worthy Hebrew
worklngmen without interest. The pres
ent assets of the association are given
as $1500, and it is to be maintained
by dues, donations, contributions and
assessments. The Incorporators are

ROAD'S AUTHORITY BROAD
Entire Electrical System of Southern
Pacific Included Construction
Work Along Line Goes
Ahead Rapidly.
Reorganization of the Portland, Eu
gene & Eastern Railway Company,
which is to build and operate the South
ern Pacific's electric system in the Wil
lamette Valley, was effected at a meet
ing held in the Yeon building last
night, when the following directors
were elected: Robert E. Strahorn. W. D.
Fenton, Ralph E. Moody, A. Welch, W.
M. Nelson, E. A. Hutchinson and John
M. Scott,
The officers elected were: Robert E.
Strahorn, president: R. T. Guppy, chief
engineer: W. M. Nelson, secretary and
auditor; C. E. Woods, general right of

All the offices of tne company wm

part of the second floor being given

' Parent Company Divorced.
It is the Intention of the Southern
Pacific to divorce Itself entirely from
the construction and operation of its
electric properties In Oregon the same
as It has done in California, The elec
tric system of more than sou mnes
planned by the Southern Pacific will be
operated under the name of the Port
land, Eugene & Eastern. Even those
lines that have been operated since their
construction by the Southern Pacific as
steam roads will become part of the
Portland. Eugene & Eastern system
when they are electrified.
The Salem. Falls City & Western,
now operating as a steam road, but
which has been acquired by the South
ern Pacific, to be converted into a part
of its electric system, win Decome a
unit in the Portls.nd, Eugene & East
ern, although maintaining its corporate
identity.
A meeting of the Salem, Falls City
& Western directors was held a few
days ago, at which all the stock held
by L. Gerllnger, H. L. Pittock and their
associates was transierrea to tne oin
cials of the southern Pacific Company
The Salem, Falls City & Western at
once was -reorganized -by the election
of D. W. Campbell, general superin
tendent of the Southern Pacific, as
president. The road will be operated
by steam for a few months, after which
electrification will start. It is proba
ble that it will be converted into an
electric property within a year. Then
it will become a part or tne t-onianu,

hranches. especially one from a point
near Canby via Molalla to suverton,
one from Albany up the Santlam River,
one from Corvallls southwesterly into

the districts which he has now ior tne

Construction Shows Progress.
The seven miles of the Canby & Mo

contractors and construction being
pushed vigorously in city lines in ba

town lines forming links in the sub
urban development and especially those
designed to connect up tne tnrougn
trunk line and from Portland to Eu

well out of the way by the time that

Grading on the Salem-Fir line Is about
76 per cent complete and since JM.r. stra

there have been completed about 12
miles of electric lines in the cities above

is expected that the 43 miles between
Corvallls and Eugene will be completed
as far as grade and track laying is con

Every Child Should
Be Given 1 his 1 cmc
When children have no appetite;
when they are continually peevish and
irritable; when they are restless in their
sleep, it is almost a certain Indication
that their digestive organs are troubled
with worms or other parasites. This is
a very common ailment and easily rem
edied. Physicians win ten you mat
nearly every child Is so troubled at
some time, and, in fact, many adults
suffer In the same way. Among adults
this trouble Is invariably referred to as
indigestion, when in reality It Is due to
a small parasite which infests the In
testinal tract.
For children, Jayne's Tonic Vermi
fuge is unsurpassed, as It is not only
destructive to these parasites, but com
pletely removes the nests in which their
young are deposited. Seldom does it
purge and the improvement in the
health of the child will be the first and
best Indication of the beneficial results
of the medicine. Not only will the Ver
mifuge destroy all the parasites, but Its
wonderful tonic effects will restore the
digestion which has been Impaired.
For children, the addition or a utile

they will take it readily. Millions of
parents have praised it for more than
eighty years. Insist on Jayne's; accept
no other. Sold by druggists everywnere.

ful passenger asked the English mate
of the Christiana what there was In the
leather tubing around the gunwales of
the lifeboats.
"Hair, sir." he answered.
"Is there anything peculiarly buoyant
about hair?" asked the American youth.
"If you don't know that, you don't
know much," replied the mate, with a
look of contempt, as he moved to an
other part of the ship.
The youth was humlliatedV and a few
days later asked the captain why hair
was so buoyant in water. That author
ity replied that he didn't know that it
was. and inquired why the youth
thought it was so.
"Why, sir, your mate told me that
there was hair in the tubes of the life
boats to make them float when cap
sized." "Ah!" answered the captain laughing.
"He's a Cockney; he means air."

Gentlemen When I commenced
to take Sulphurro I had been
troubled for a long time with rheu
matism. This was so bad at times
that I could hardly dress myself.
But after taking it for two weeks I
was much better, and at the end of
four weeks was cured, and have not
been troubled since. I sincerely
thank you for what it has done for
me.
(Signed) SI. WILBUR.
Seattle, July 20.
No medicine was ever so favorably
received as Sulphurro. The reason is
plain. Sulphurro restores the blood to
the pure and healthful state intended
by nature, and the blood is then capable
of conquering the Impurities and
disease germs of the system.
Ailing humanity in every walk of life
has found Sulphurro a blessing, for it
has brought back health when all other
agencies have failed. In cases of rheu
matism, Sulphurro has never been
known to fall when directions for its
use were followed. Blood, skin and
stomach disorders have yielded speedily
in thousands of cases.
The Sulphurro bath is refreshing. In
vigorating and health-giving. The Sul
phurro booklet will tell you why. The
booklet accompanies eacn uome Ol oui
phurro (bottles selling for 60 cents and
$1 in all drugstores), or will be sent
free upon request to THE C. M. C.
