"The 1913 legislature, explained Pro

Professor Ogburn had analyzed the

"If a man in Yamhill county wants
a farm hand who. speaks, say, tier
man, and the fare from Portland U
his station is $2, he can send a money
order for the railroad fare to the post
master in Portland. Through the
agency of the federal employment bu
reau, the man who wants that Job can
be found. He will not be given the $2
to buy a railroad ticket, but the ticket
will be bought for him and he can use
it only In going to his work.
"Any man who wants work can ob
tain a blank from the postoff ice or any
city or rural carrier and send it post
age free to the Information bureau of
the Immigration service in Portland,
and when the bureau learns of a Job
for him. he will be notified."
In this way Postmaster F. S. Myers,
in his address before the league, de
scribed the workings of the new fed

EFFECT OF FEDERAL
RESERVE BANKS ON
T
Portland Bankers Find Value
in the -Suggestions of
Cashier McKee, California,
HOW RELIEF IS EXTENDED
Pull and Frank Talk "With Each of tha
Borrowers May Get Results,
Zt Is Declared.
Will the federal reserve svstem
help the country banks?
From the beginning it has been rec
ognised that a "yes" answer to this
question would realize more than
through any other channel the pre
dicted benefits of the federal reserve
law to agricultural interests and crop
movements..
Portland bankers, therefore, have
found value In suggestions offered by
H. 8. McKee, cashier of the National
Bank of California,
"It Is probably true." he says, "that
bankers are inclined to conservatism,
and conservatism In understood to
mean a preference for the established
order and opposition to any change;
especially any oh&nge proposed by
someone else. The federal reserve
act has made many changes in the
banking business and will lead to
many more.
Pair Hearing Asked.
Consequently human nature itself
tends to plant In the banking mind a
alight prejudice against, or at least
a lack of enthusiasm for, these
changes. Simple fairness, therefore,
as well as a selfish desire to realize
a substantial benefit, suggests that
we lay aside any preconceived un
friendliness to the federal reserve
bank, and try to give it the help and
co-operation each of us would give If
he had been the one who proposed it
In the first place. If this is not the
proper attitude to assume toward the
new system what attitude would be
better, and to what would it lead?
"The reserve bank is . not Itself a
remedy for the long standing defects
In our banking system and customs,
but Is, instead, really a device by the
use of which we can remedy them for
ourselves.
"Some of us are going to do this,
and do it energetically and with great
resultant benefit. A few of us are
probably going to make no effort at
all, but be content with criticism, and
expect the reserve bank to come in
side our very doors and force relief
.upon us.
Kay Make Own Choice.
"In other words, the federal re
serve bank is an instrument which- the
member banks may use or not, as
they severally elect. The fact of the
matter is, nearly all of the relief the
reserve bank will afford must orlgi
nate right in the member banks them
selves, and the benefit to any member
bank will be much or little. Just as It
snail, itseir. decide.
"Let us assume the "case of n. tra
leal bank In a small town where the
president says the reserve bank does
him no good, for he has no eligible
paper. There are two courses open
to him: One is to take no action ex
cept to complain, and the other is to
set about accumulating a line of ellr-
lble paper. How much will he need?
It la believed to be a fair assump
tion to say that if he had 10 per cent of
hla loans in form eligible for redis
count, he would have enough to give
nim as run a discount privilege with
the reserve bank as he would be
likely to make use of. How. then,
shall the banker put 10 per cent
of his paper in eligible form? It
seems a sufficient answer to say that,
as he makes the loans himself, he
ought to be able to get at least 10 per
cent of them to suit him. The real an
swer is, by gradually forming new
practices and habits among his bor
rowers and in himself. To be more
definite: A careful study of every
note In the loan pouch will disclose,
even in the deadestr poiuch. many notes
that can be made eligible for redis
count; that is, notes whose makers are
engaged in Industrial, commercial or
agricultural pursuits and who actually
used the money borrowed in one of
these pursuits, and who are produc
ing something they will turn into
money wherewith to pay the note.
Must Report In Full.
"It Is believed that a full and
frank talk with each one of the bor
rowers Of this class will result in
many of them replacing their present
notes with new ones for either all or,
at any rate, part of the Indebtedness,
from which new notes can be made,
both In form and spirit, eligible for
rediscount."'
To accomplish this the borrower
must give a full report of his busi
ness and condition, continues the
statement, so that the new notes, fall
ing within the rules of the federal re
serve bank, may be strictly negotiable.
The borrower may figure out a date
when he Is morally certain he will
have the money to meet the . note.
Ioans,. large and small, may be thus
handled. Ultimately the character of
bank loans will be raised.

Faces As Fair
As An Orchid
Are Possible When Stuart's Calcium
Wafers Are Used After Meals to
Clean Up 4 Skin Eruption
. and Discolorations.
Whn a face is covered with blotches,
Uver spots, pimples, blackheads, etc.,
Stuart's Calcium Wafers will act like
some magical charm. However, there
is nothing magical about them. They
are nature's own way of cleansing the
human blood and preventing it from
filling the surface of the body the
skin with pimples and little skin
eruptions. '
I I
"With a Face as Fair as a Say In
June."
The abolishing of all skin disorders
must begin with the blood. Lotions,
salves, cosmetics, etc., will do no ma
terial good. The trouble comes from
within and there the remedy must tie
applied.
If you really desire quick action and
at the same time a common sense, nat
ural, harmless blood purifier, then
Stuart's Calcium Wafers is this rem
edy. The Correct and best blood purifier
known to science is Calcium Sulpnide.
This great cleanser is contained .In
proper quantities in Stuart's Calcium
Wafers and that is why all blood trou
bles and skin blemishes rapidly disap
pear after their use.
Art unsightly and pimply face due to
impure blood is one of the most dis

Every dentist, who appeared in
Salem before the legislature last
week as an advocate of cocaine
and arsenic is a Trust dentist.
The very Trustites who have
I - Si.
f I been claiming tb
ians of the health of the dear peo
ple" in Oregon, when faced with a
law which would stop the usof
these poisons, joined the "poison
squad" and said the bill should be
defeated.
X I have torn the mask of hypocrisy from
the faces of these Trustites, so that tlie peq-
pie of Oregon who entrust their health and
life in the hands of the Dental Trust may
know them as t4iey are.
By their actions in this matter they have
shown that they would see Americans be
come a race of "dope fiends," rather than
admit that any measures proposed by Pain
less Parker were for the public good.
Rather, than give up some of the ill-gotten
gains extorted from the public by special
legislation these Trustites also opposed a
measure requiring a dental nurse, because
they will not pay a living wage to nurse
girls.
These representatives of the Dental
Trust who appeared before the legisla
tive committee at Salem said that ray two
bills were an insult to the dentists of the
state. The greatest authorities on dent
istry in this country and Europe say I am
right. They condemn the use of cocaine
and recommend a nurse in dental offices.
Professor Dr. Guido Fischer, director of
the Royal Dental Institute of the Univer
sity of Marburg, recognized as a world-wide
authority, in his recent book, "Local Anaes
thesia in Dentistry," says : ' .
"The presence of a third person, an assistant
or a woman attendant, is recommendable for so
cial reasons. Several cases of sexual hallucina
tions following the injection of cocaine solutions
locally in extractions have been ' reported, in
which the operator had difficulty in clearing; him
self owing to the absence of a third person, who
could easily have testified to his innocence."
Professor Dr. Kurt Hermann Thoma,
Harvard university, in his book, "Local
Anaesthesia in the Oral Cavity," says :
"It has therefore been established as a general
rule that neither the physician nor the dentist,
without urgent reasons, should induce anesthesia
when alone, but that a medical assistant, or at
least another person, should be present.
Professor Dr. Heinrich Braun, Director
of the Royal Hospital of Zwickau, Germany,
says: "In surgery cocaine has become obso
lete and is no longer used."
Fischer, in speaking of cocaine, says : "It
possesses, however, such a-great many dis
advantages, especially a specifically high
toxicity, that its employment
more and, more, greatly
suffering humanity."
KorneT says: "It is a fact, known to the
physician and dentist alike, that all anaes
thetics may produce erotic dreams. This is
true, not only of the agents employed in
general anaesthesia, but, according to pub
lished records and my own experience, also
of local anaesthetics, especially cocaine."
Dorn says: "A girl, aged 20 years, short
ly after an operation under cocaine, lapsed
into a condition of tremendous excitement,
respiration being considerably accelerated,

she intended to take heMife unless she re

ward that the woman was engaged to some
other man."
Fischer says: "It is imperative not to
leave in the waiting-room by themselves
or without supervision, locally anaesthetired
patients tyho have to wait for some time
before operation, but to observe them con
tinually. The following alarming case has
been reported to the writer: After inject
ing, the operator left the surgery for- the
laboratory. Upon returning, after not more
than one minute, he saw, to his astonish
ment, the patient in a helpless condition,
having fallen' back in chair and being
wedged between seat, armrest and back.
The head was deeply reclined, respiration
was difficult and slow, the pupils dilated, the
facial color cyanotic ; in short, all symptoms
typical of approaching asphyxia were pres
ent. With great effort he lifted the entirely
insensible patient from tlje chair, and laid
iicr on the floor. Respiration ceased, and
artificial respiration was induced, which
proved successful after about two minutes.
Tbc patient recovered relatively quickly
after cold clolhs, fresh air, and amyl nitrite,
had been applied, and -despite the serious
character of the. collapse was able to be cnt
home by carriage after one hour. This Oc
cident is a further proof of the necessity of
having a third person present far assistance
in every case of local anaesthesia."
Fischer recounts another case, and then
, adds: "This again justifies the demand that
not only during general, but also during
local anaesthesia, a third person should be
present to avoid all risks of suspicion."
