Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way,
and It Costs Nothing to Try.
Those who suffer from catarrh know
Its miseries. There Is no need of this
suffering, you can get rid of it by a
Simple, safe. Inexpensive, home treat
ment discovered by Dr. Blosaer, who, for
over thirty-six years, has been treating
catarrh successfully.
' His treatment Is unlike any other. It
Is not a spray, douche, salve, creani or
Inhaler, but is a more direct and thor
oughtreatment than any of these. It
cleans out. the head, nose, throat and
lungs so that you can again . breathe
freely and sleep without that stopped-up
feeling that all catarrh sufferers have.
It heals the diseased muctous membranes
Dd arrests the foul discharge, so that
you will not be constantly blowing your
nose and spitting, and at the same time
It does not poison the system and ruin
the stomach, as Internal medicines do
If you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to Dr
i, W. Blosser, B$l Walton Street.' At
lanta. Ga., Snd he will send you by re

Los' Angeles Alone .Surpasses
Its Membership of 4107;
Omaha is Third.
The showing was made at the annual
meeting of the board of directors of the
Young 'Women's Christian association,
held in' the home of the organization,
that the Portland institution is the sec
ond largest In the matter of membership
in the world. Only the institution at
Los Angeles, Cal., is larger. Omaha Is
next in size to Portland, but does not
run it a 'close race.
Evidence that the growth of the Port
land Y. W. C. A. lias been little short of
remarkable was given In the reports'of
officers. The report of' Acting Secre
tary Martha Whee'don showed that In
1908; 2297 members were enroled, but
thab during the year last past the; en
rollment had been swelled to 4107. An
other cause for the' trustees to rejoice
was the fact that the fin&hclal report
showed that the Institution was 86 per
cent self supporting
Excellent work has been done by the
V. W. C. A. during the last year. During
190$ the number of meals served each
day was 300, for 1910 the average num
ber was 6S0. .Transients cared for were
90S In number in 1908, and 2055 In num
ber during the last year. Five thousand
and eight travelers were aided in 1908,
and 11,203 In 1910. Where before one
wprker helped travelers, four are now
employed. One is stationed at the union
passenger station, one at the-North Bank
station, another at the depot of the Ore
gon Electric and another at First and
Alder streets.
The. work of the physical department
Increased wonderfully, and showed a
great Interest In the development of the
body. Ten thousand and thirty-one gym
nasium lessons and baths In the pool
were given In 1908, but that number
was Increased to 17,033 during J910.
The annual meeting came on jtlie tenth
anniversary of tho establishment of a
Young Women's ; Christian Association
In Portland. During the-10 years the
Institution took froUl rapidly. Two years
ago the new building at Seventh and
Taylor streets was occupied.
After the meeting last night dinner
was served In the T. W. C. A. cafeteria
to more than 1J5 persons. - . ...

STRIKES AND SHERMAN
? LAW LEWIS DISLIKES
-(United Press Lease4 Wire.) "
Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 19. In his an
nual report to the convention of the
United Mine Workers of America, Pres
ident Lewis gave prominence to a vig
orous denunciation of strikes as n
means of organising nonunion districts
and bitterly assailed the Sherman anti
trust law aa Ineffective and tending to i
further the combinations It was osten
sibly designed to prevent. The report
strongly indorsed the proposed employ
ers' liability law and urged the AnwrN
can Federation of Labor to grant a
charter to the Western Federation of
Miners as a step toward amalgamation
with the United Mine Workers. He
pointed out that 308.(60 members of
the United Mine Workers had paid the
dollar monthly per capita tax In De
cember, and he Indorsed the proposal
that Joint conventions of miners and od-
erators be assembled Jo negotiate wage
contracts.
Referring to the Northern Colorado
strike, President Lewis strongly de
nounced Judge Whitford's sentencing
1 miners for contempt in violating on
injunction.

this morning Bloch askedrthe attornev
if he had called Mm a liar. , Bloch struck
him In the right eye and the attorney

gan pounding each other when Mr.

club In Richards cafe. He said that
within a few days E. II. Bennett, land
scape architect of Chicago, 111., would
arrive in Portland with complete plans
for making the city more beautiful.
Dr. Wetherbee Went Into the details
of the plan, telling of the beginning of
the movement and the manner In which
It had been taken up by professional and
business men, showing that citizens of
Portland had great civic pride.
"These plans are made for a city of
2,000,000 people," he said. "We believe
that before many years Portland will
have that number of residents."

Mothers-in-Law Face Each
Other in Court in Tim
Lane Trial.
With wife arraigned against husband
and ma.ther-ln-law against mother-in-
law, the case against Tim Lane in the
circuit court presents several unusual
situations.
Both mothers-in-law came to Port
land from Seattle on the same train,
and. in the same coach. Both mothers-in-law,
went, on the wlthess stand
against the other's child. Lane Is
charged with putting his young wife
Into white slavery. The case was given
to the jury at. noon(today.
Emma Lane said she was Introduced
to Lane in Seattle by Edna Marlott
Several clandestine meetings were held
In that city. She was working In a
down-town store. Lane and the Mar
lott woman proposed she come to Port
land', she said, to work. The two gtrls
came, and after their arrival met Lane
and another man. She said that when
Lane discovered the authorities were
looking for them he proposed that they
get married. After the marriage, she
said, he took her to several north end
lodging houses, where she led a ques
tionable life.
Lane denied about everything .that
the young wife said. He said he wanted
her to stay away from the grill rooms
and lodging houses. He denied she
gave him part of her. earnings while
in the lodging houses. The mothers-in-law
testified that both their children
were obedient, and had never been In
trouble before. .
