From a purely entertainment point of view the automobile show has been declared a pronounced success and the best in the history of northwest shows.

The general passenger car business- has been good and the same reports have been made regarding the truck, tractor and accessories sales. When the Liberty airplane motor was shipped east, room was available for a.Velie truck and a Nash passenger car chassis. Another new arrival at the show is a Hudson limousine. All of these new models were viewed with much interest yesterday. KURDS, RESCUE DAUGHTER Visitor Here to Tell Portland Folk About "the Terrible Turk."

VETERAN FIREMAN DIES Patrick Griffin, Born In Salem, Served Portland 15 Years. WALLA WALLA. Wash.. March 1 (ecial) Patrick Griffin, for 20 years a member of the Walla Walla fire de partment, died at his home here today of cancer of the stomach after long 111 nesji. He had retired on the pension list THE appearance of the Liberty in variably arouses admiration. Everything about the car singles it out from the commonplace. Fifteen minutes of driving proves that this outer beauty is simply a sign of rare, inner goodness. You know instinctively and at onco that you are in a carof superior quality. You feel that the car holds its steadi ness because of its perfect balance not because it is weighted to the road. You feel that you can drive it for hours without a sense of fatigue. And before that first ride is over, we believe that you will have found several distinct and definite reasons for Liberty preference. W. H. WALLINGFORD Alder at Sixteenth : : Broadway 2492 one month ago. Griffin was a native of the northwest, having been born In Salem. Or.. April 27. 1853. In 1SS2 he moved to Portland with his parents, where he saw Portland gro? from a village to a metropolis. Aa soon as he was old enough he joined the Portland volunteer department and when the paid department was orranirrd he was THE GERMS OF The Influenza Badlli are exceedingly small, those shown in the above cut being magnified about 600 times, under the microscope. After these germs get into the blood, and we 6uffer from Influenza, the disease leaves us with thin, watery blood, weak, anaemic, and unabla to do our accustomed work. What's to be done in such cases? Put iron In your blood and the cells become round and red. They lose the irregular shape and you gain in vim, vigor and vitality. The best combination of iron for the blood is in the form of a new iron tablet, put up by Dr. fierce, called " Irontic." You will find, instead of pale cheeks, feelings of lassitude, tired, worn-out before the day is half done, after taking "Irontic" your cheeks will have color, you will feel strong and vigorous and ready for the fray. Start now and you will be surprised how full of vim, vigor and vitality you will feel in a few short weeks. Keep the system in good order, take, plenty of exercise in the fresh air and practise cleanliness. Remember a clean mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels are a protecting armor against disease. To keep the liver and bowels regular and to carry away the poisons within, it is best to take a vegetable pill every other day, made up of May-apple, aloes, jalap, and sugar-coated, to be had at most drug stores, known as Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. If there is a sudden onset of what appears like a hard cold, one should go to bed, wrap warm, take a hot mustard foot-bath and drink copiously of hot lemonade. If pain develops in head or back, task the druggist for Anuric (anti-uric) Tablets. These will flush the bladder and kidneys and carry off poison ous matter. To control the pains and aches take one Anuric Tablet every two hours, with frequent drinks of lemonade. The pneumonia appears in a most treacherous way, when the influenza victim is apparently recovering and anxious to leave his bed.
