WOMEN AND THE FAIR.
M. H. Do Young, editor of the San
Francisco Chronicle In giving his
opinion on the management of fairs,
to the Oregonlan, makes some obser
vations which Oregon cannot afford
to follow.
It Is true Mr. De Young successful-
two of the number had lived In the
Hawaiian Islands, one of the two
having been foreman on a sugar plan
tation. Two of the number had spent
considerable time In Alaska, one hav-
lug gone there In '07 by way of the
Valdes Glacier route. .Moat of the
olhois had traveled extensively In
most of the Western states. It Is this
learning by actual seeing and person
al observation .that makes the West
erner a man of broad intelligence,
good Judgment and ready resource.
It Is this that gives him the faculty
of falling on his feet.
As an Illustration of the vailed el
ements of which we are formed here
In the West, take the composition of
our last legislature. This will prove
fairly typical of the stnte at large.
Of the ninety members, two were
born In New York, four In Iowa, nine
In Illinois, two in .Minnesota, one in
what was then the territory of Ore
gon, but is now the state of Wash
ington, one in .Massachusetts, foil'-
in Pennsylvania, three in Wisconsin,
four In Ohio, one In New Hampshire,
one in Virginia, one in Now Jersey.

a trial to some drug thnn It is in enter

and nbstlnence from enndy. The ad
vertised drug may bo harmless, In
which case It Is llkoly to do no good.
I.' It has aomo quickly potent effect,
it possesses proportlcs that should
leave It to the control of a trained
physician who knows something of
his patient before he writes a pre
scription. Young people, fortunately, are like
ly to bo good sleepers. When for any
reason thoy are not they are also
likely to be more intolerant of th
tedium of wakeful hours than are
their more disciplined elders, Here
again It Is easy to experiment with
scmo one of the mnuv "quieting
medicines, so highly spoken ol, so
"harmless." A cool sponging off, flv
minutes' brisk exercise, and n slowly
sipped cup of hot milk would be much
bettor, and would prevail eventually

but much abused and dangerous
drug.
It Is a well known fart that alcohol
is the basis of many of tho so-culled
tonics, and Is to be found in rnnsld

No more Insidious plan for the form

If one needs alcohol one s doctor will
know It. and how much and what

him for a prescription. We have all

Oregon believes In the potency of

to this state.
When asked about a woman's de

fair, .Mr. DeYoung smilingly said that
Is there any presentable reason why
they should not pay taxes according
ot the real value of these lands, the
same as a man who goes into tho

a home, pays on his property? If so.
what is this reason? This Is a ques

of their assessors,

to repair loss and waste. This power grows less and less. The
ability to shake off local disorders and to draw heavily on the
body's reserve force are privileges that youth alone can claim,
With age comes slow movement, slower operation a

live in the past. Ordinary food no longer nourishes. Poor

Many elderly persons get strength and nourishment

that the stomach is not aware of its presence. Not only does
Scott's Emulsion furnish nourishment itself, but it helps to
digest other food. It aids in the proper distribution of food

Moreover, the lime and soda contained in Scott's
Emulsion in the form of hypophosphites nourish the bones
