BRANCH PHONE-713 TO QUICKLY CURE A COUGH OR COLD s. A never failing home rem- edy for coughs and colds is made from the following for- mula to be mixed at home: "Two ounces of glycerine, one-half ounce of Concentrat- ed oil of pine, one-half pint of good whiskey, mix and shake thoroughly; use in doses of a teaspoonful to a table- spoonful every four hours." This, if followed up, will cure any cough that is curable or break up an acute cold in 24 hours. The ingredients all can be gotten at any drug store. Concentrated oil of pine comes put up for medicinal use only in half ounce vials enclosed in small, tin screw-top cases ' designed to protect it from heat and light. The bulk oil and the patent medicine imita- tions sometimes put up in wooden boxes, should be avoided as they contain resin and other impurities that pro- duce nausea and permanent kidney trouble. To get the right article be sure it is the "Concentrated" oil of pine as this is really the only soluble pine preparation known to sci- ence and is the result of the experiments made in the pine forests of Maine where camps were established for the treat- ment of throat and lung dis- eases and where so many re- markable cures were effected A Pittsburg inventor has produced a combination railroad tie and rail, made of steel and guaranteed never to spread.

William Junior had been cautioned by his mother not to do a number ot things, too many for brief mention, but all very dear to him, and he bad promised.

"And yet," continued the school inspector, "all of you eat many an apple In the course of a year and see the fruit every day probably. You must learn to notice the little things In nature."

The following cheerful letter among the appreciated and welcome expressions of friendliness that tire reaching this city, almost (Jaily, from sources beyond her gates and ia given in full because of its belief in th sound and pregnant future of As toria; and for the further reason that it comes from one standing for in tcrests that have manifested this faith by extensive investment, the largest in a private way, that has been under taken by anyone beyond Astoria' borders in. long years. The candor and undoubted sincer ity of the letter are especially con vincing when it is understood that the message was entirely voluntary and inspired only by a desire to sig nify a good will wrotight throng! years of contact in business and am plitied by the assurance of still stronger ties of commerce, in the building of the new and beaMtiful "Astoria-Weinhard" hotel, which when completed will have cost large ly in excess of $100,000; and toward which, it as understood, the first ap propnation of ?60,000 has already been made by the trustees: "Portland, Ore., March 7, 1908. "Mr. Morris Staples, "Astoria, Oregon. Dear Sir. I am directed by Mr. Wessinger for himself and executors of the estate of Henry Weinhard, to ay that his personal observation as well as the reports which he has re ceived at regular intervals, convinced him, that the work, which the execu tive and promotion departments of the Chamber of Commerce of your city has so vigorously prosecuted, is howing most satisfactory results. He has formed a most flattering opinion of your publicity manager, Mr. Whyte, and there is no question in the belief of himself and associates, that with men of your stamp in the proper department, the ultimate out-1 come of this labor will be everlastinR benefit to Astoria and Clatsop county. I The Henry Weinhard Brewery has I already pledged its subscription for another year, and Mr. Wessinger fully believes the outlay will be justified by future considerations. "In this connection, Mr. Wessinger directs me to say further, that out side of our business interests, the acquisition of real estate and other investments, while on a safe and non speculative basis, has been made not so much with a view of large profits, but more in order to show his per sonal appreciation as well as that of his associates for the cordial support One of the Important Duties of Physicians and the Well-informed of the World is to learn as to the relative standing- and reliability of the leading- manufactur ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to the uniform aualitv and nerfect nuritv of remedies prescribed by them, and it is wull k known to physicians and the Well-informed generally that the California Fltf Syrup Co., by renson of Its correct methods and perfect equipment and tne wiicai cnaracter oi its product has attained to the hitch standing in scientific and commercial circles which is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that tK name of the Company has become a guarantee of the excellence o( its remedy. TRUTH AND QUALITY appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent iu cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention o( all who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the (net that it involves the question of right living with alt the term implies. With proper knowledge of what Is Itest each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may Iw made to contribute to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may bo Invaluable if taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. (eels that it is alike important to present truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed because of tho excellence of the combination, known to nil, and the original method of manufac ture, which is known to the California ig Syrup Co. only. ' This valuable remedy Jias been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and ns its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to 1 the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always tie called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given satisfaction to millions.

While looking for a hippopotamus it waa the fortune of the author of "TJgauda to Khartum" to encounter crocodile under somewhat unusual clr eumstances. He was following a fresb track leading through the dense under growth from the lake Inland. Two men accompanied him. one carrying his camera and the other bla second gun, whllo he shouldered his rifle. Suddenly I heard a rustling noise to front of me and realized that some creature was approaching, but whatl It could not be the hippo, because there was no thunderous tread, but I had no time to think, for the creature, what- AWAW It mint., (.a vwna ........ - . which the people of Astoria have gtv- ond. cn to the business which the Henry Weinhard Brewery has established in your city.

NOT IN WORDS, BUT IN DEEDS. HAUTALA & RAITANEN Tailors, Corner Eleventh and Bond Streets Bed-ridden Sufferer Completely Cured by Use of D. D. D. External Wash. One of the most remarkable Eczema cures,rccently credited to the well known D. D. D. Prescription has just been recorded in Chicago. Mrs. E. Hcgg, 1550 West Mad unn street, under date of December 9, 1907, writes as follows: "I suffered three years with Weep ing Eczema. It started with a little spot on my knees and spread fast over my whole body. I spent hun- ulnars anu went to every good doctor I heard of, but kept get ting worse. Nothing would stop the awful itch and burning. "I had to stay in bed from the middle of May to the middle of July. Then I tried D. D. D. Prescription. This is the 9th of December and I am entirely free from the terrible disease. D. D. D. saved my life. "When I began this treatment, peo ple were afraid of me I looked so terrible. My husband was the only one who would take care of me. D. D. D. stopped the itch at once so I could sleep, which I had not done before. Then I began to get better fast and now my skin is clear and white, not a spot anywhere." Just a few drops of D. D. D. Pre scription applied to the skin brings relief nothing to swallow or drink. We vouch for D. D, D. Prescription, also the cleansing D. D. Soap, Chas. Rogers & Son, druggists. Get a bottle today if you have any skin disease. Begin your cure at once. At two yards I discovered what It was an Immeuse crocodile more than twelve feet long. I was right In Its path, and there was no possible escape on either side, so I : stood still with my rifle at shoulder; and waited. The "crock" did not wait, j however, and In some remarkable way It hustled me to on side, almost knock ed me over, and ecdeavored to make bis way to the wuter. To dispute bU right of way would have been folly. ! realised only a hor rlble, soft, wriggling mass pressing agalnij niy legsria most sickening way. Why be tluTnot bite me I do not knoyr At first I thought be had done so as be brushed against my teg, but I found It was only bis horny scales that craped my shin. And be was more taken by surprise than I was and for got all about his bnge jaw and the lasting Impression he might have made apon my legs. After be bad passed I turned to see now the men would fare. Cms bad got back to the shore and so was no longer In view. The other man with the cam era was the funniest sight His head was stuck fast In the thick brambles, and his legs were In the air, the cam era of course In the mud beside him. I do not think the "crock" could have seen him, for be had literally taken header into the bush, and bis legs wers tar above tbe crocodile's Jaws. Cheap Rates From the East to Astoria -via 0. R. & N.

Three years ago I was told by a physician that 1 had Bright's Disease of the kidneys, t have .treat ed constantly for this"- trouble since, without results. After reading the article I have mentioned, I purchased some of this man Cooper's medicine. I have been astounded by what it has done for me. I was relieved to some extent within 24 hours. Today my health is better than for five years, and so far as I can tell, my kidney tremble has disappeared.

She now eats heartilv thr. times a day without any distress whatsoever. Her nervousness has also left her. I certainly believe this man's success is fully justified, ar he undoubtedly has a wonderful medi cine." We will gladly describe the re markable record made by the Cooper medicines to all who wish to know of them, Chas. Rogers & Son. One of the most interesting state incuts made recently concerning the much discussed Cooper theory, that has spread over the country during the past year, is made by E. II. Lam bert, a retired business man, whose home is at 115 Francis street, Everett, Mass. Mr. Lambert has this to say in con nection with Cooper and his medi cines: "Some time ago I read an ar ticle about this man Cooper, in which he claimed that stomach trouble was directly responsible for most ill health, He went on to say that, al though his medicine did nothing but get the stomach in sound condition, it would, in many cases, remove kidney and liver trouble and various other ailments. He argued from this that the stomach was the main cause of sickness, and stated that the success he has had with his medicines was due entirely to this fact. ' "I am now fully convinced that this theory is correct, and believe Cooper has a reallv remarkable medi cine, judging trom my own experience.
