SALOONS TO REMAIN.
Members of Portland Council Refuse
to Attend Meeting.
Portland, May 2. Those who have
been laboring diligently to secure re
moval of i he objectionable saloons
from ths vicinity of the gates to the
Lewis and Clark fair grounds are
roundly censuring certain members ot
the Portland council for what they
unhesitatingly declare to be a delib
erate attempt to defeat the object for
which the special council session ot
this morning was called by wilfully
absenting themselves from tile meet
ing, so that no quorum resulted. Had
enough councllmen bttyr' present to,
transact business It would have been
imperative for the body to order a vol
of the peopel on the saloons near th.
fair. A determined effort Is being mad
to force action and the police have
been ordered to bring councllmen to
the meeting, which has been post
poned.
The liquor license committee hp
granted another saloon permission to
conduct business near the fair.
When the special s?ssion of the
council was called this morning for thf-
purposn of considering the petition of
the people to have the question of re
moving tfie saloons from near the fair
grounds voted upon in the city elec
tion June 6, but five councllmen were
present, and the failure to get a
quorum caused an agreement that the
meeting should take a recess until 2
o'clock this afternoon. The police were
Instructed to bring In the absent mem
bers of the council at that time.

Mrs. Nelson describes the condition of thousands of woman. That con
dition conies by slow staff. Usually tbe important function of menstruation
is at first slightly irrecular. Then comes the painful periods. Bearing-down
pains and ovarian inflammation follow. Finally the nervous system gives way
nd tbe whole system has become affected and the pains rack the body from
bead tc foot.
Wine of Cardai is s menstrual regulator of established reputation. No
woman who takes it suffers as Mrs. Nelson suffered. It gives speedy and eom-
pieie renei irom tne tortnring menstrual agonies wmcA are making so
many women invalids today. Do not let yourself come to the pitiable
condition Mrs. Nelson describes. v
Secure a bottle of Wine of Cardui from your druggist today and
