CAnCErLCUREO AND. A " LIFE SAVED " By the Persistent Use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla -' "1 was troubled for: years with a eore on my kiiee, which several physicians, who treated me, called a cancer, ' assuring me that nothing could be. done. to save my life. As a last resort, I was induced to try, Ayer's Sarsaparilla and, after tak ing a number of "bottles, the sore began to disappear and my general , health improve. I persisted In this treatment, until the sore was en- tirely healed. Since then, I use Ayer's Sarsaparilla occasionally as a tonic and blood-purifier and, in deed, it seems as though I could not keep house without it." Mrs. S. A. .

Coast Are Thriins ; Upon, the utility .of introducing new fl-ih on .this coast there are .divers and various opinions, and resulting therefrom considerable' discussion. In all proba bility If the efforts trade at 'introduction had been directed to propagating the most excellent native varieties, already here, much better - satisfaction would have been given.. . (MThe Oregonian says that Dr.' Hugh M. Smith, of the United States fish com mission, arrived in Portland yesterday from California, where be. has been for the past month investigating the results of the attempts made by the commission to introduce various Eastern' fishes into the waters of the coast. He was met by Mr. W, A. Wilcox statistical agent of the fish commission, who has been in Portland a short time making investiga tion into the fisheries along the Colum bia, and they went down to Astoria.. 1 , Dr. Smith says' the results of the in trdductldn of shad on : this coast have been . successful . beyond expectation The, shad attain a larger size than on the Atlantic coast. " Years ago Dr. Smith says shad of 10 to 12 pounds were caught on the Atlantic oast, but any of that size are seldom, if ever, seen now.. ' - ' The catfish introduced on this coast have also succeeded wonderfully. There are several varieties of them in the Sac ramento river, and Sacramento is the great catfish market of the coast. Dr. Smith is confident that the striped bass which was introduced in California waters some twelve or. fifteen years ago. and has flourished ' wonderfully, will spread to the Columbia. .At present they are confined to California waters, the center of its abundance, being in Sao Francisco bay and its tributaries. It is found as' far , south as Monterey bay. These fine fish are frequently seen in the local markets, being shipped from San FrancUco. ' The largest eeen have weighed' ten to'twelve pounds, but they grow ' to " weigh thirty to thirty-five pounds. " : ' ' . Of couree. Hi. Smith and Mr- Wilcox have heard many complaints about the carp, introduced on this coast.' They can only reply that the people wanted them, and Mr;. Baird, who successfully introduced them, has been dead several years', and will never know how little his efforts are appreciated. The carp is not devbid of . good qualities, . but is only suitable- for introduction- in. sec tions where .there are no better fish. - We are selling the 'famous Snan" Foam washing powder,' .It will not "yellow the -clothes" nor, burn, the hands, and is the finest thing in the world tor the batb.
