The others appointed are: Mrs. John Smith, of Astoria; Miss Sallie Bush, of Salera; Ir. George Ke bec, ol Eugene, and L. R. Alder man. Superintendent of Public Instruction. Governor West made this appointment- at the "solicitation of the National Congress of Mothers, of Washington, E. C. In his letter to Mrs. Tate the the Governor says he formed this commission with a view to having the conditions affecting children properly studied. "Health, educa tion and moral and physical de velopment of the child are vital problems," writes Governor West, "and are in need of better solu tion than has yet been made." The commission will begin im mediately, . Good Things in Market TIIK price of oranges has already gone up with a bound as the result of ihe disastrous frost in California. Oranges which last week were selling at to and 35 cents a dozen, now cost 40 to 50 cents. Grape fruit, too, though not showing such a marked increase, is etljl Inclined to rise in price. Florida. things comes from California. Celery Is less plentiful and higher in price. and so is cauliflower. Head lettuce tends to advance. Sweet potatoes sell at five or six pounds for a quarter. Brussels sprouts cost 10 to 15 cents a pound. There are nice looking hot house cucumbers and green peppers, but both are high priced. A few mush rooms are available at $1.25 a pound. Spinach, watercress, kale and radishes are all to be had in limited quantities.. Good oyster plant Is a welcome addi tion to the "usual roots." Spanish onions have many masculine admirers. and red cabbage, as a salad, or plcKIe, or cooked in the German way with ap ples. Is by no means to be despised. In the fish market, smelt is already the "leader" both in price and popu larity, and will probably remain so for some time to come. At present this delectable little fish sells at three pounds for a quarter. Early in the week, scarcely any fish was to be had on account-of the storm. but now there soems to be a good sup ply of various kinds, including Royal Chinook and lake white fish, both 30 cents; Salmon trout, 25 cents; shrimps. 20 cents; catfish, 17 cents; halibut, black cod, and croppies, 15 cents; Sal mon and Columbia River pike, 12 cents a pound. Crabs are rather loss plentiful than they have been lately, and cost 12 to 20 cents each. No clams, of any kind, are to be seen -this week. Poultry prices also tend upward rather than downward. Hens and geese cost 25 cents, while the best chickens, turkeys and ducks sell at 80 cents a pound. Good squabs are now to be had, and a few rabbits are still offered. The best butter still costs 90 cents a roll and the best eggs 45 cents a dozen. Ilermlston Complaint Tiled. SALEM. Orv Jan. 11. (Special.)

The total receipts so far are 16(4.50. The fund maintained by the State Federation of Women's Clubs Is de voted to the care ot tubercular patients everywhere in the state outside of Multnomah County, this county being provided for by the Visiting Nurse As sociation of Portland. . The Federation assumes the entire expense of the care of a patient who has no means to pro vide his own medical treatment. In ex treme cases the patient is sent to a fresh-air sanatorium, if that is deemed best, or a aura. Is sent i the bom. and 1 takes charge of the patient, under the direction of a physician, also provided by the Federation. ' When the disease is not so far advanced but the patient can take care of himself or be cared for by his family, a trained nurse visits the home and- gives explicit directions for treatment and sanitation, that no mem ber of the family may become infected from the patient. Kecent publicity given the tubercular work of the State Federation and of the Visiting Nurse Association by Port land newspapers, and through the sale of Red Cross seals has resulted in Jet ters from different parts of the state to Mrs. Millie li. Trumbull, president of the Visiting Nurse Association, asking how tubercular sufferers can be cared for. All of these cases have been turned over to the State Federation and prompt relief was riven. In some cases a nurse was sent and in others the pa tlent was sent to a sanatorium. "The importance of educatlbn and of prevention carmot be too strongly em phaslzed." said Mrs. Gllnes. "In one case that appealed to us from a small town.-a nurse was sent and all that was possible was done, but it was too late. Every effort now is being made to save other members of the family. as this is the second death within few months. We believe we can save the others, and the young girl who just died might have been saved if the case had been reported to us sooner." aai local cases or tuberculosis or those in the state will receive immedi ate attention if reported to the Visit ing Nurse Association, Medical building, or to Mrs, Millie R. Trumbull, 250H Third street. - M'KINLEY CORPS INSTALLS Commander Pollock Guest of Honor on lOtb Birthday. McKinley Corps, No. 45, W. R.

MERCHANTS PREPARE BILL Ordinance to Be Asked Giving Pro' tection From Itinerant Salesmen. Representing . the Retail Merchants Association of Portland, a committee headed by C. F. Berg Is preparing an ordinance desiged to- increase the license to be . imposed upon transient retailers in the city and put a check upon this form of competition against stationary business establishments. The retail merchants bold that it is an injustice to merchants residing in the city and paying taxes here, to per mit transient sellers to come into the city, rent roemsjor a short time and after disposing of their goods leave the city, practically without having contributed to it, although they take away many hundreds of dollars and are preying on the 'trade of the established local merchants. - The ordinance will probably be sub- mitled at the next session of the City Council and will call for a license to transient merchants of 1100 a day. E. J. Jaeger, W. A. Knight and many other local retail merchants are back of the movement. W h i 1 e the ordinance is designed to protect themselves against this non taxpaylng competition, they hold that it alsa serves as a protection to the public against transient, and frequently unreliable purveyors, and also assures the city of some return from those who exercise the privilege of coming into the community to take away a share of the money that would otherwise re. main in circulation in the city and aid in its development.
