STATE INSTITUTIONS ENOUOltv
The Oregon Stat Medical Society
favor the rp&lntenance at state ex-
pense of . feeble-minded , institute
separate and apart from the present
rtate insane asylum Salem. 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. This charge comes from mis

undcrstahdlng.for there Is a very small
percentage ofkth young people of the
country attendingollcges. The great
universities are theNvorkshons of the
nation. There is a tendency to prac
tical education. As the nations have
realUed that In the preparation for
war It must have great training son
for its officers, so the people at large
have realized that preparation must be
made for the solution of the problems
that will come to the state. It is the
duty of every student to do the best far
hi country and his state and thus he
will he doing the beet for himself . P,

The Fishing Gaxette, a standard
authority on flah, considers $1.30, f. o.
b.. Pacific coast, the price at which
Alaska red salmon opened, a logical
Hsure. - "The sltuation,"lt sayV'ls well
known and the inevitable had already
been discounted as far as possible by
the "short" interests. The world's sup
ply on red flsh is actually one million
cases in deficit of previous years. The
English market is being supplied at a
figure slightly in excess of the opening
price. Spot has Jumped another five
cents, and at the figure of $1.35 the re
maining holders will probably be will
ing to concede their small supply."
Alaska ed opened In 1S97 at 90 cents;
1S98 at $1.00; 189 at $1.00; 1900 at
$1.10; 1901 at 1)5 cents; 190! at 5 cents;
190S at $1.30.
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

MISS IDA M. 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;

Tt is preeminently a practical biui
phy. Intended for the busy man with
little Ume to spare: it displays an In
sight Into the great pontiff career
which denote the close observer and
careful studene on the part of the com
piler. No man, be he a Catholic or a
non-Catholic, can . lay claim to a
thorough knowledge of the political,
social, religious history of the lust
quarter of the nineteenth century,
who Is Ignorant of the life and work
of Leo XIII. This volume will In a
measure, furnish a key to the secret
of the deceased pontiff wonderful
success and Influence In the world at
large. The author pay special at
tention !o Leo's attitude towards the
Vulted States. The chapters devoted
to a consideration of "Leo XIII and
Education" and "Activities In Iiehalf
of Labor" are very timely. The even.
snon-poleinnlcal tone of the volume re
commend It alike to believer and un
believer. The perusal of this book
must need prov uplifting.
The typographical work I well don
and the illustration ar highly inter
esting, and considering ; th price for
which the volume I oftrd It la all
that could be, desired. : We bespeak for
this work a wide circulation,

FEARFUL ODDS AGAINST HIM
Bedridden, alone, and destitute. Such
in brief was the condition of an old sol
dier by name of J.J. Havens, Versailles,
O. For year he was troubled with kid
ney disease and neither doctor nor
medicines gave him relief. At length
he tried Electric Bitters. It put him on
his feet in hort order and now he tes
tifies: "Pm on the road to complete re
covery." Best on earth for liver and
kidney troubles and all forms of stom
ach and bowel complaints. Only 60c.
Guaranteed by Chas. Rogers, druggist.
