"See that bunch of street railway
tnen over there? Seven of them are
conductors and tha others are all motor-
men. How can I tell? Oh, it's lust a
little simple twist of the wrist"
; The man who was talking was one of
those kind who, when he knows any
thing always likes to tell other people
about It So he continued:
"I don't know any of those streetcar
men. I don't remember ever having
seen any of them before. They are all
dressed practically the same, and you ,
are wondering how I enn distinguish
a .nickel collector from the man in
front who turns the handles and the
cranks. Well, when I tell you, you will
be disappointed. You will think your
self stupid for not having potlced the
difference yourself.
"Notice the numbers of the men on
their caps. The conductors are all even
numbers, and those of the motorme,n
odd. That's all I know about it. But
it's probably done for the convenience
of the street railway officials so they
can tell by glancing at an employe's cud
on which end of the car he works."
Portland will on January 1 become
northwest headquarters for the Chica
go, Bock Island & Pacific railway,
from salt Lake and Butte to the coast
The company's offices at Seattle, Butts
and Spokane will be closed, and the
proposed office at Tacoma will he

tinue in the coast or intermountaln re
gion sre at Portland and Salt Lake. The
company a traveling representatives
from Portland will look after the busi
ness of Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
Montana and a part of Wyoming.
It is said the financial stringency has
caused radical retrenchment measures
by the Rock Island management. The
Pacific northwest territory Is the far
thest removed from its lines, and the
percentage of business thev receive
from the coast In the division between

Drugs Are Made To Sell
Not To Cure
How Is It that a man ean pile up
a fortune In a year ojr two, through
the sale of drugs that have no merit
whatever: Simply because drugs
are nearly all profit. -Three cents'
worth of "dope" In a little alcohol
will sell for a dollar, but It wouldn't
cure If you swallowed a barrel
of it.
Any old Tom, Dick or Harry can
mix tip a lot Of dope, a few colored
pills, or any preparation with a new
name, arid sell it
to you at thirty
times Its cost.
You take it, just
because you be
lieve in drugs;
you. were taught
that nothing but
drugs could cure.
S o m e 1 1 mes you
lose faith in the.
ready- bot tied
preparations ana
you go to a physi
cian or some
would - be doctor,
who sells you the
same stuff (somtr
tirnes worse), Mi
nus the name and
at a bigger price.
Then you go
home, done' your
noor stomach with
tnat trasn ana imagine it s uuing
you a lot or gooa.
But you don't get wen; your stom
ach soon gets out of order, your
nerves become weak and other
troubles arise. That's what poison
does to you. It was in the stuff
you doped your stomach with.
1 claim mat tne practice or arug-
fflng was originated by savages and
s founded upon superstitions. It in
entirely out of plaoe in this day of
progress.
If vou would obev Nature's laws.
you would never be sick, never need
treatment of any kind. When you
do get sick, you don't help Nature:
you work against her. Nature will
cure! when she has the power elec
tricity. Fain and sickness are due
to a lack of electricity in the human
body. Instead of restoring this force
when you are ailing, you take drugs
which decrease what little elec
tricity you have.
My way of' curing is to restore
electricity wherever it is lacking.
and health and strength will take
the place of sickness.
Electricity, is Natures medicine.
It is nourishment to the body.
Electro-vigor is tne best way or
applying electricity. It sends a
stream of electric life into your
nerves and vitals while you sleep,
building up vitality and strength
and removing the, cause of disease.
Electro-Vigor is a simple electric
appliance, constructed on scientllic
principles, and Is the product of my
twenty years' experience In treating
w.th electricity. It is not nn electric
belt and never needs charging, for it
makes Us own power continuously.
