No humane person will take Issue with the mMlcal society on the desirability of having such a school but the advisa bility of appropriating money at this time for the establishment and main tenance of such 'an lnstitntlon as this may be Questioned. It Is true there is but little opportunity for the development of the feeble-minded at the state Insane asylum where they are cared for in the same building with Imbeciles, idiots, maniacs,' seniles and drunks. But they can be kept separ ate in a way. Then the state has large farms at Salem and teams and tools for lis wards to work with. '"Y'T It has at the asylum afione, 150 em ployes, so that the feeble-minded can with proper management, be reason ably well cared for and their work made to contribute toward their sup port Aside from the fact that the feeble-minded may receive fairly good care without further appropriation, objections will arise on the grounds of the precedent for the traildlnng of more state institutions, the separate build' hig' for feeble-minded, would afford. There is rank Injustice in the state maintaining a tostly reform school for boys, while no provision is made for girls. If a reformatory is necessary for boys provision should also be made for girls, and when the state takes the matter up, If money Is no object there should be two schools or departments for each sex so that the criminal boys could be kept eeparaate from the rest and the very bad girls could not associ ate with those '.hat are not so bad. Some good could be accomplished by a a'mllar classification ; of the convicts in the penitentiary. In fa'ct looking at it from the standpoint of the benefici aries, there is at multiplicity of insti tutions that should be established, but there" are as many roads leading to state paternalism. For its age, popu lation and assessable wealth, Oregon Is very well provided with eleemosy nary institutions.' It is supporting, besides an insane asylum, a penitentiary, reform school; blind school, school for the deaf mutes, and with the aid of the federal govern ment, a soldiers' home, and annually appropriates a considerable sum, for a university and normal schools. The state also-aids in the maintenance of an agricultural college. The demand of these Institutions increase at every meeting of the legislature and the se rious obstacle in the way of a seperate school for the feeble .nlnded is the ex cuse It gives other Institutions to ask for a like appropriation to supply their crying need. . , ' There is a cry from certain quarters that the country is plunging into over education.

Early last spring a corps of surveyors were sent out and located on different hill tops covering the Columbia river valley to make a geodetic survey. Oc casional we have seen a strange star just peeping above the horizon as we supposed, but the mystery Is solved. Uncle Sam established these stations and the strange stars were only the sig nal lanterns or at noonday a flash of light as the heUotroper signalled from one hilltop to another: One station was established on a peak 70OO feet above sea level, one near Wa'.Ten In this county and one at Larch in Tillamook county. The signal lights were visible to the naked eye, the dis tances being from 40 to 90 miles. Rain ier Gaxette.

SNYDER, Treasurer of the Brooklyn East End Art Club. ffiJTSTRUAL irresrn- iarities are gener ally the beeinning -of a woman's trou bles. With the vitality at a low ebb, the blood weak ened, the digestion disor dered, she goes about pale faced, hollow-eyed and hag gard, a piteous contract to the blooming health of her former el But over 1 .000.000 women have found health again by taking Wine of Cardui. As a regulator of the menstrual periods Wine of Cardui ha never been known to fail. It has seldom failed to restore perfect health, even in the most persis tent and aggravated case of weakness. . Mint Ida M. Snyder, of No. 535 Ber gen Street, Brooklyn, N, Y., has used Wine of Cardui and she say it helped her into a new life. Health to Miss Snyder is worth a great deal. She is an attractive young woman with intel lectual attainments and she occupies the position of Treasurer of the Brook lyn tot End Art Club. This position marks her a a person of intellect, col tare and refinement and it speaks LiL'hly of the respect and trust her fellow women have in her. She writes: "If women would pay more attention Mitt Ida 1L Snyder. - . II - to their health we would have more happy wivs mother and daughters, and if they would use more intel ligence In the matter of medi cine!, observing faults, they would find that the doctors' prescription do not perform the many cures they are given credit for. "In consulting with my druggist he advised McHrert Vine of Cardui and Thed- ford't Black-Draught, and so I took it and have every reason to thank him for a new life opened up to me with rerfored health, and it only took three month to eon toe," Ton may secure the same relief as Miss Snyder, if you take Wine of Cardui as she took it. Thedford's Black Draught is the companion medicine of Wine of Cardui and it is a liver and bowel regulator which assists greatly in effecting a cure. If you take these medicines according to directions, the relief and core it simple. Some cases are cured quickly and others take longer because the disease has run longer. Remember how Miss Snyder took Wine of Cardui and bas health. The same medicines are offered you to-day. WINEbfCAItDVI A million suffering women have found relief in Wine of Cardui. That's prcdscly what the proposition is. Not something for nothing, but actual value for one-third of what the same goods would cost you elsewhere; THE DAILY ASTORIAN'S PREMIUM OFFER The publishers of tho Daily Astorian, in line with modern joiirimlis-tio method for increasing the paper' circulation, have decided to oft'or apodal inducement to prospective subscribers for the paper, and to 'that end have received limited consignment of three separate volumes which re to lo dmposod 01 to Buuucnoers at tue rate 01 oparate $1.00 PER VOLUME "Cutler's Red Booll of Priceless Recipes" "Webster's Common Sense Dictionary "The Life of Pope Leo XIII" Briefly, tha first bcok contains receipesfor about everything from curing the sick or running a library . to getting up the hundreds of dishe fancy or otherwise, that art known only to skilled chefs.
