A CASE Tti POINT.
In our forefathers' days, pimples were attrtb
ted to diseased blood. But modern medicine hai
demonstrated that rich food does not create erup
tions by fouling the blood, but retards digestion,
which makes the stomach torpid, and the circu
lation sluggish, and in turn causes an enfeebled
action of the pores which congest or become pim
ply. The modern theory therefore is not to treat
the blood, but the stomach and liver, and it la
under this new idea, that Joy's Vegetable Sarsa
parilla was conceived. It has wiped out tht
" blood disease" theory of pimples, of the old sar
ssparOlas. A case ia point " I have had for yean,
spells of indigestion and dyspepsia and tried
nearly everything. Finally I took one of the
leading sarsaparlllas. It did not help me, but
caused pimples to break out on my face, which I
was told was caused by the potash it contained.
Hearing that Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla did not
contain mineral and might act differently, I sent
for it. The pimples disappeared tmmediadcjy and
I have now after months had no return of the old
spells. It it a cure for indigestion and dyspepsia
ltd the attendant face eruptions."

STUDYING OREGON HISTORY.
The Collegian, a journal pub
lished monthly at Salem, contains
an article headed "Oregon History
in Public Schools." It is a subject
of great importance to all school
children of this state, and is prob
ably the least thought of by most
teachers when training the mind
of their pupils. , The author of this
article, as given below, is W, E.
Yates, principal of Corvallis' pub
lic schools, and the Gazette . re
prints it, appreciating the writer's
thoughts:
"It is not well to overload the
curriculum of any school, and espe
cially that of the public school;
still, while there may be too many
branches taught in our schools, the
results may be good if prominence
be given to the proper studies by
the teacher. : ' -
More depends upon the teacher
than the text-boek any way, a good
book in the harfds of an incompe
tent teacher is worse than useless;
while the qualified instructor is
able to seeure proficient work and
mental advancement even without
a text-book.
' The schools of our state have
little history of Oregon - taught in
them except that which is given
them by the teacher. The pupil
should not be allowed to leave the
halls of the common school or even
the college without an intimate
knowledge of the social,' political,
industrial, and colonial history of
our beautiful and prosperous state.
The teacher should make promi
nent the geography of the state
where the school is located. , A
general knowledge of geography is
well, but a knowledge of our own
country in its varied details is 'bet
ter. So in regard to Oregon histo-:
ry; it should be made emphatic.
(Many children attend our schools
for years, and,it may be, study and
finish the course , without a hint
that a Whitman, a Lee, a Johnj
Jacob Astor, a Hudson Bay com
pany, ever existed or at least have
any historical interest or connec
tion with the early events-in the
formative period of our territory. .
The physical features, the rivers,
harbors, lakes, mountains, etc., re
ceive a passing notice inour6chool
geography ,but the political history
is omitted entirely. Probably
many youns persons leave school
without a thought of the names of
Oregon's governors, the different
towns in which the capital has
been, and the growth of its indus
trial pursuits. This should not be.
If one of the teachers 'of Oregon
schools would prepare a suitable
text-book on this subject and it
were incorporated into the list of
studies he would confer a blessing
on the state.
' Until that is done, - we teachers
should conclude Wie history of the
United States with; a few weeks'
course of lectures- on the history
of Oregon. - : , ; ; ,
Let the pupils of; the public
schools learn something of the his
tory of their home, the state of
Oregon." - -
