Save the Babies.
JHFA1TT MORTALITY is something frightful. 0 can hardly realize that of
all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent, or nearly
one-quarter, die before they, reach one yearj thirtyseven per cent, or more
than one-third, before they are five, and onehalf before they are fifteen!
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would -save a ma
jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these
infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature' of
Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the
pores of the skin and allays fever. . "

In many cases and have'always found It an efficient and speedy remedy.'
Dr. E. Dcsn, cf Iulladelphia, Ta., eay3: ."I have prescribed your Cas
toria in my practice for many years with grea satisfaction to myself and
fceneflt to my patients."
Dr. Edward Parrlsh, of Brooklyn, N. T.f says: "I fcaTe used your Cas
toria in my own household with good results, and have advised several
patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm."
Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six
years prescribed your Castoria for infantile ulouiuuu ulourJurs, I uost
heartily commend , its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious
to the most delicate of children."
Dr. C. G. Spracue, of Omaha, Neb., says: 'Tour Castoria is an Ideal
medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it While I do not advo
cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an.
exception for conditions which arise in the care of children."
Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says; "Your Castoria holds the)
esteem of the medical profession In a manner held by no other proprie
tary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and chS
dren. In fact, It la the universal household remedy for infantile ailments."
Dr. IL F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: "Castoria is one of the very
finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my
opinion your Castoria has "saved thousands from an. early grave. I can.
furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency
and merits."
Dr. Norman VL Ceer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve
years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best
preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very ef
fective in relieving children's disorders, while the ease with which such
a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage.'"

Laws of Other States.
Oregon, Washington and California
have the poorest water laws of the
western states. Colorado profited by
the mistakes of California. Later Wyo
ming and Nebraska adopted laws which
vance to the necessary water supply.
If clear title to sufficient water cannot
be assured in advance, on account of
our poor laws, then we" should nofxrom
plain because Oregon's rightful share
of this fund is not expended within
her borders.
State Control.
The conference of governors now in

states, except that adjudications of the great natural resources will doubtless

xonoweu closely the laws recently en
acted by Utah, Idaho, North and South
Dakota and Oklahoma.- The Canadian
law has been declared by resolution of
the American Irrigation Congress to
be the best of its kind on this conti
nent. All these modern laws are based
upon the water laws of Italy, which
alone must be responsible for the use
or abuse of this necessity of life. Any
new policy devised by this conference
for government control of navigable or
interstate streams can affect Oregon
but little.
The conservation of this great nat

experience. Thus Oregon has no lack out sacrifice or cost to the present
of precedent, and should profit by tho , generation, but to its great benefit and

countries.

FOR
o BAD BLOOD
When bad blood 13 caused from an infection of the circulation by the
virus of Contagious Blood Poison, it usually shows in the form of ulcerated
mouth and throat, copper-colored 6plotches on the body, swollen glands in
the groin, falling- hair, sores and ulcers, etc. These general symptoms,
affecting all parts of the body, show how deeply poisoned the blood
becomes, and emphasizes the dangerous character of the trouble. If allowed
to remain in the system the disease will finally wreck the health and break
down the strongest constitution. No medicine can cure Contagious Blood
Poison which, does not rid the circulation of every particle of the virus.
S. S. S. is the one real and certain cure; it goes down to the very bottom of
the trouble, and by removing every trace of the poison, and adding rich,
healthful qualities to the blood, forever cures this powerful disorder. S. S. vS.
is the most reliable of all blood purifiers, and its concentrated ingredients of
healthful vegetable extracts and juices sspecially adapt it to curing this
insidious trouble. Write for our home treatment book, which is a valuable
aid in the treatment of the different stages of the disease, and ask for any
special medical advice you wish. No charge for either.
