commented Judge Stevenson in Munici
pal Jcourt this morning, when John
Kram appeared before him and admitted
that he was "good and drunk" last
evening.
"Were you ever here before me, pre
vious to today," asked the court
"Not before you, Judge, but I wu
here about five months ago," answered
Kram.
"Well, your honesty is commendable
and you may go," answered the Judge.
You Can't Beat It.

cures a cough, while other remedies
merely think about, is the only remedy
in Oregon that will cure your cough in
time for you to catch another before the
