DIABETES
Our
Philadelphia agent E. T. Snow.
ISiS Columbia avenue, announces a
failure in the case of Mr. W., a prom
inent cltlsen who had taken the com
pound for several months. We regret
that we were not written to so that
they could have been counseled with.
There ara - often cases in which ex
perience is of great help in alleviating
complications that bar recovery.
We auota -from our Philadelphia
agent's very interesting letter:
we had two very . gratifying renorts
last week. Mrs. C. .wrltea from At
lantic City that aha succeeded in elim
inating tne sugar, irom wmcn sne naa
suffered for several yeara She la the
widow of a physician and was at first
fully convinced that diabetes was In
curable. She adds: 'Fulton's Diabetic
Compound auceeeded after several spe
cialists in ID u rope naa lauea.
Tne otner case:
"A healthy-looking woman walked
into our office and announced that two
years ago Fulton s Compound had cured
her of diabetes, and the remarkable
part of it is that three bottles Dor-
formed the miracle. Her husband losing
his position rendered her unable to con
tinue taking it but to the surprise of
her physician, she has not had any re
turn of the malady, although she has
been eating without diet for a year.
She called to purchase a bottle of
Renal for her husband."
We never heard of a case of diabetes
yielding to less than two dozen bottles
and It often takes two and three times
that la long-established, stubborn cases.
Hence, tha case above reported was
most unusual.
This treatment, while effective In
great majority of all cases, is in chronic

DemSnd for Lumber Con
tinues to Increase
Steadily.
Lumber and tie mills are gradually
resuming operations throughout this
district and it is said that by next
spring very few, if any mills will be
lying idle. The demand for lumber
haa improved gradually during tha past
three months until now it is nearly
normal. Heavy orders are looked for
next srirlng from the east.
The Pacific Lumber & Manufacturing
rompauys hardwood sawmill in North
Portland was started this week and is
now cutting about 80,000 feet 'dally.
Eventually the planer will be put to
work when the mill will be ready to
supply the local market with high grade
oak flooring and other material, prin
cipally in oak. Tha mill is also
fcquippea ior cutting son wooa.
The demand for uppers In fir is still
strong and there is no oversupply
among the mills. The local market is
net expected to Be aa erisa auring ine
next few months as It baa been In
the past but it is believed it will keep
up remarkably well for this time of the
year. Flooring In large lota la scarce

not to the fullest capacity. They are

POPULARITY OF CEMENT

, t . l .it m i I.;
New Building Material Used in Many Fine Residences
Recently Erected Adopted for Costly Model Resi
dences Planned for Walnut Park.
That cement blocks as construction
material for dwellings have coma Into
very general favor among both builders
and contractors In Pottland Is proved
by the fact that not leas than a dozen
handsome homes built of this material
have been erected during the past few
months. A new cement block manufac
turing company haa moved its plant
from Walnut Park to Ladd's addition,
where it has, contracts for ths erection
of four very large residences of a type
entirely new. These buildings are to
contain all modern" conveniences, includ
ing electric cooking appliances, refriger
ator and cold storage closets, and to
make them even mora complete,' a sys
tem of fireless cookers will be installed.
Theaa residences are to be tha fore
runners of a number of similar resi
dences which it is proposed to erect
In this tract No two will be alike In
architectural design and they will differ
altogether tn appearance. The average
cost of these buildings will be between
$7,000 and $10,000.
