Stephen JLesTrose,
SHOCLD
LEARN
SAVI3UIERS
EARLY, ADVISES CODY.
Multnomah Club Instructor Dis
putes Theory That Prodigies
Will Fail at Maturity.
Much has been said, pro and con, on
the advisability of teaching youngsters
how to swim and making speeders of
them before they are out of their teens
but they have another champion of
their rights In Jack Cody, the Multno
mah Club Instructor.
Many of the older swimmers argue
that the present crop of youthful speed
ers will not keep on developing but
ill deteriorate as swimmers when
their bodies are fully developed.
I have two youngsters, botn less
than 2 years of age. and they are al
ready swimmers. I am sure that I
have not started them too early and
they will continue to develop," said
Cody. '
We teach our boys the rudiments of
baseball when they are old enough to
lift a bat and they play It until their
joints stiffen. Swimming is a much
milder form of exercise in that there
are no sudden exertions but the rhyth-
matlo movement of all parts of the
body.
"Nowadays children should be taught
the art of natation almost as soon as
they can walk. Many show the wisdom
of such a course by becoming expert
swimmers before they are 20 years of
age.
"This Summer I took hold of a lad,
10' years old, who I knew was a born
swimmer and only needed Instruction
and proper coaching. His name Is Ed
McKerron, the boy who is now Nation
ally famous for winning the 12-mile
Missouri River Marathon swim in Au
gust.
"He is young for a ' long-distance
swimmer. He defeated men from all
over tho Middle West, but that race
did not end his career. Next Summer
he will do greater things and will con
tlnue to develop as he Is as much in
his infancy as a, swimmer as he is In
years."

Letter to Council Tells of Purpose of
OrKsnlzatlon In Aiding Victims
ot'vTubercuIosls.
Pointing out that it is the only or
ganization In the city that Is fighting-
tuberculosis, and that It is supported
entirely by voluntary contributions, the
Visiting- Nurse Association of Portland
has addressed the following appeal for
aid to the City Council, over the sig
nature of Mrs. Caroline A. Dieck. pres
ident of the association:
'"The Visiting Nurse Association, an
organization obtaining Its funds en
tirely by voluntary contributions,
makes appeal to the City of Portland
for aid.
The association has two lines of ac
tivity a service for general nursing
and a service for the care of persons
affected with tuberculosis. It is the
only organization in the City of Port
land engaged in the fight against tu
berculosis. In this latter work it em
ploys the entire time of two nurses.
To those who are unable to obtain
proper medical care and nursing assist
ance or to provide themselves with
proper food it dispenses its charity. It
furnishes them with clothing and pays
the expenses of such as may need care
in sanitariums.
At no time during the past three
years have the expenses of the asso
ciation fallen below $150 a month,
whereas the average expenses for this
entire period have - exceeded $500 a
month. The present average expense
is, approximately, $500 a month, solely
for the care of persons afflicted with
tuberculosis.
The tuberculosis fund has been raised
entirely through the sale of Red Cross

When using this treatment, you

Hvomel often restores health to
chronic cases that had given up au
hope of recovery. Its best action is
at the start of the disease when the
breath is becoming dffensive, and con

the lirst symptom of catarrhal trouble,
such as crusts in the nose, watery eyes,

use Hyomel and see how quickly you
get relief. All druggists sell it.

ELIMINATE S PLATES AND BRIDGE
WORK. Indeed, It has often been said that
"Troth" needs no ornament, and 'that
what she borrows from the pencil is
deformity." The plain, unwrlnkled tale
of Alveolar Dentistry needs no adorn
ment. A simple statement of what It
is should suffice. . .
Briefly, the Alveolar method Is this:
If you have two or more teeth left In
either jaw, we can supply all that you
have lost with teeth as good, solid and
sound as the best set of natural teeth
ever grown in any human being's
mouth, and a whole lot more beauti
ful than nature's best product, without
resorting to such makeshifts as partial
plates and the unsanitary bridgework.
Alveolar Teeth are not only beautiful,
but they are comfortable and durable.
We guarantee them to last a lifetime,
where the longevity of bridgework is
seldom ever longer than five or six
years and generally a good aeai jess.
Tt la nAvr e-u nranteed to last bv any
first-class dentist who is responsible
and reliable, because all llrst - class
rionHnta win tli vou that bridsrework
at best is doubtful. It is a painful
operation and gives trouble from the
time it is put in the mouth until it has
to be taken out. In many cases where
bridsrework is impossible, and all cases
where it is possible, we can replace
your missing teeth with perfect
Alveolar Teeth. The pain incident to
the work is practically none; the ex
pense is the same as the best bridge
vnrlf hut in satisfaction there is no
comparison between the two.
We have samples in our office to
show at all times hundreds of patients
here in our noma cuy 10 reier io. ex
aminations and booklets on Alveolar
dentistry are absolutely free.
