SCHOOL F0RADULTS PLAN Place to Teach Unemployed to Do Work at Hand Is Considered. A school for the temporarily unera-4 ployed adults of Portland is the latest educational plan under consideration by Superintendent Alderman and will be submitted at an early date to the School Board, "Many unemployed men and women going to the employment agencies find Jobs open for which they are not fit ted," he said. "They go dally to the agencies, but, lacking the training to take jobs that are open and finding no jobs that they are fitted for, are apt to lose courage and sink steadily to lower and lower stages of efficiency, "My Idea Is a school for adults, at which the temporarily unemployed may receive the training which will enable them to take the Jobs which, when they first offer, may be such as their lim ited training makes it impossible for them to fill."

Fink, a member of the ad vertising department of The Orrgo- nlan, who lives at 310 East Fiftieth street South, left his automobile stand- ng near the corner of Sixth and Yam hill streets yesterday morning.

It soaks right Into the stopped-up, inactive kidneys, through the walls and linings; cleans out the little filtering cells and glands; neu tralizes and dissolves the poisonous uric acid substances that lodge In the Joints and muscles to scratch and Irri tate and cause rheumatism; heals the inflamed membranes of the bladder, and cleans out and strengthens the stopped-up, lifeless kidneys so they eaa filter and sift all the poisons from the blood, and drive it out of the system. So sure, no positive, so quick and lasting, are the results obtained from the use of Croxone, that three doses day for a few days are often all that is required to end the worst backache, regulate the most annoying bladder disorders, and overcome the numerous other similar conditions. Croxone is so prepared that It Is practically impossible to take It with out results. An original package costs but a trifle, and all druggists are authorized to return the purchase price If Croxone fails to give desired results, regard less of how old you are, how long you have suffered, or what else has tailed.
