Castro apparently is unaware of his

gaining ground here that Castro's
power is completely broken.
"Arizona", which will appear at the
Astoria Theatre Sunday, has made a
career of uninterrupted success in al
most every large city of the EasL
It has played in New York at the
Herald Square Theatre and the Acad
emy of Music for over 150 consecu
tive nights, and each and all of ths
critics have universally agreed that it
has achieved a distinction of being
the only American drama by an
American author which has ever
reached this remarkable .record in
theatrical history. Mr. Thomas has
more than any other writer, laid the
foundation and lower courses of the
American drama which will one day
develop into a most imposing institu
tion. "Arizona" as the name implies,
is a play which has its scenes, charac
ters and incidents located in the far
West The people of the play com
prise the sturdy ranchmen and cow
boys, the brisk, alert women of the
pioneer generation and their dainty,
graceful yet strong and self-reliant
daughters, types of the American girl
over which the whole world has come
to wonder and admire, officers and
soldiers, fair samples of the hetero
geneous community which Mr. Thos.
has chosen to utilize in the way of
literary material.
The piece is as full of bright color
contrasts as the changing combina
tion of a kaleidoscope. It fairly con
trasts as the fresh, vigorous active life
of the young West. It has a love
story as tender and almost as tragic
as that of "Romeo and Juliet," and it
has a relief work of humor as ripe and
unctuous as that which Mr. Thomas
has previously shown us in "Alaba
ma" and 'In Missouri" When the
critics have said of "Arizona" that it
is better than 'Alabama," they hare
said all that they well could say IP
praise of an American play.
Factors of Safety
The human body is a wonderful machine, provided with
muscular, nervous and mental energy far in excess of normal
needs. In health, the organs and tissues can do double their
usual amount of work without strain or friction, because they
bave stored energy to meet the extra demand.
When you feel "all tuckered out," these factors of safety are
nearly exhausted and you need to resort to
to renew the supply of energy, wherever it may be called for.
Indigestion, bilious attacks, constipation, loss of sleep, ner
vousness, dizzy spells, are warnings that the factor of safety in
the stomach, liver, bowels or brain, is low, or nearing the danger
point and needs to be replenished.
Beecham's Pills increase the supply of blood, strengthen
the stomach, operate the bowels, feed the nerve cells, build
tissue, and create a reserve supply of energy, which is the only
natural and effective way to

INDIANS DISAPPEARING.
Man Who Knows Says They Will
Soon be Cone.
' HELENA, Dec. 22.-"Three gene
rations more and I don't believe there
will be a real Indian left in the coun
try," said Special Agent Samuel Cone
of the Indian Service today. Mr.
Cone is here as a witness before th
grand jury. He has spent the greater
portion of his life in the Indian serv
ice. "White men's clothing and houses
have signed the death warrant of-ths
Indian," continued Mr. Cone. "Con
sumption and other diseases of a civi
lized people have gotten a footing in
every reservation in the country, and
the ranks of the full bloods are being
decimated rapidly. This is particu
larly true of the older Indians who
roamed the plains and mountains be
fore the creation of reservations and
who have not been constitutionally
fitted for the changed environment." 1

a mm MESSAGE
TO HIS PEOPLE
BISHOP SCADDINO OK OREGON
DIOCESE SENDS WORDS
OF GREETING.
The Aslorinn i in receipt of the fol
lowing Christmas meisigc from Hillt
op Scadding, of the Episcopal Church
of Oregon, with request that it be
published. Doubtle many of the
members of that church In this local
ity, and of other churches, also, wilt
be quickened by reading the word of
abundant good-will and cheer contain
ed in this message:
A merry Christmas to you one and
all, my dear members of our diocesan
family. At this joyous season my
heart goes out in loving greeting to
all our clergy and laity, to the faith
ful in active city parish, to friends
without the diocee, to the patient and
sometimes discouraged workers in our
distant missions, of ranchers far sway
who can have no opporunity to jiuke
their Christmas communions, to our
Auxiliary women, and the dear chil
dren, to the occasional worshiper with
u. and also to those baptised and
comirmed members of our Father's
family who rarely, if ever "praise God
in the congregation"; -to all may Con)
give in abundance the cheer and con
tolations of the Christmas truth. How
all thoughts of self, our tucceises and
failure, of the Indifference of friend,
of the uuicsponsivenrts of fellow
workers of false judgment of our
actions, and misinterpretation of our
motives, take to themselves wing
and fly away, ami our hearts glow with
joy and love when we meditate on
the marvel of the Incarnation, on the
great wonder of the Love of Cod. The
world apart from Christ gives us ni
idequate assurance that Cod is Love,
although Robert Browning has taught
us to say "He that crested love, shall
He not love?" But that God is love
it is this that our Lord guarantees.
It is this love which furnbhes the
motive power to carry out the object
of the Incarnation expressed in the
command of Christ "As the Father
hath sent me, even to send I you."
The call of the Incarnation to you and
me is personal and complete. We are
aked in invest ourselves. The motive,
after all, which must move the church,
is not proportionate giving or syste
matic giving, pleas for money, various
incitements to duty, or the crying
needs of heathen at home or the
heathen abroad. It is the example
and direct command of the Incarnate
Lord. The "" and the "" of that
command are equal. His coming into
the world cot Him poverty, persecu
tion, agony, and crucifixion. He grip
ped the world by renouncing it, and
we mutt continue and complete His
work as Ilia commissioned ones, for
He invests us with the same program
of renunciation, and the same promise
of victory. I rail upon you, dear
people, to Invest yourselves, body,
soul and mind In the service of our
Incarnate Mauler; then there will be
no "missionary problem" and no lack
of means for church support. The
Incarnation of the Son of Cod it not
a speculation of the understanding.
It is incomparably the greatest fact
in the whole history of our race, tnd
as such it imposes on ui correspond
ing moral duties, to that it it no exag
geration to say,
"Were the whole realm of nature mint
That were an offering far too small;
Love to amating, to Divine,
Demands my tout, my life, my ill,"
Affectionately,
Your Bishop tnd fellow-servant in
the Lord,
CHARLES SCADDINO,
Bishop of Oregon.

Everybody Seems to be Awake to the Advantage of Early
Shopping.
With the largest and most varied assortment of holiday foods we
have ever presented; with prices at low as can bs offered on thing!
of such ideal quality, the search for proper gifts and needed mer
chandise appropriate to the glad season can profitably and satisfac
torily begin and end here. We cannot urge too strongly the import
ance of Immediate shopping. Ample as our stocks are, perfect and
complete as is our organization of salespeople, tht rush of the last
day choosers Is sure to deplete assortments and render service less
prompt and satisfactory. Now all our lines are Intact and promi
nently displayed, and service is at the very maximum of excellence.
Plenty of room for Inspection, plenty of time for the showing of
things, and the fullest scope Is offered for choice. Everything to be
gained by shopping NOW much to be lost by delsylng.
