DAILY EA8T OREOONIAti, PENDLETON, OREGON. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1903. 4 ' SKIN-TORTURED BABIES And Tired, Fretted t Mothers Find Comfort in Guticura Soap and Ointment When All Other Remedies ami Physicians Fail. Instant relief ana refreshing sleep far b kin-tortured babies and rest for "tired, worried mothers In 'warm baths with" Cutlcura Soap, and gentle anoint ings with Cutlcura Ointment, purest of emollient skin cares, to bo followed In severe cases bv mild doses of Cutlcura Resolvent. Tbls Is tho purest, sweet est, most speedy, permanent and eco nomical treatment for torturing, dis figuring, itching, burning, bleeding, scaly, crusted and pimply skin and scalp humours, with loss of hair, of infants and children, as well as adults, and Is 6uro to succeed when all other remedies and the best physicians fall. Tho agonlzlug itching and burning of the skin, as in eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crusting of tho scalp, as In scalled head; the facial disfigurement, as In acne and ringworm; the awful suffer ing of.infants, nnd anxiety of worn-out parents, as In milk crust, tetter and salt rheum, all demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to success fully cope with them. That Cutlcura Soap, Ointment and Iiesolvcnt are such .stands proven bevond all doubt. No statement Is made regarding them that is not Justified by tho strongest evi dence. Tho purity and sweetness, the power to afford Immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety nnd great economy have made them the standard skin cares and humour remedies of the civilized world.

SiztH for men, women, lo;s anil girls. Cheapest and only reliable c ,m- mnen (trace and suspender in the n arket. Washington, Dec. 1. The invest! gatlon made by Carroll D. Wright, the lUnlted States commissioner of labor, into tho high cost of living which now prevails throughout tho country will Interest many peoph especially Govornor La Pollotto, of Wisconsin. The Badgor state's gov ornor, although a Republican, Is a thorn in tho flesh of such rock-ribbed and "regular" members of tho party as Senator John Spooner, PostmaBtor cneral Henry C. Payno and Assist' nnt Secretary of tho Treasury Horace A. Taylor. Mr. Taylor especially was highly Indignant recently when La Follette wont up and down tho state making public speeches, In which ho declared that, while the rate of wages had advanced somowhnt slnco 1896. the cost of living had advanced in n vastly greater ratio. Mr. Wright's Investigations will make "mighty Interesting reading" for tho governor. In these Investiga tions, which will oon bo published In full by tho department of com merce, Mr. Wright does not go Into the question .of wages, but he does s'idw that tho cost of food has in creased by lfi.l per cent since 1890. His conclusions arc based on data collected not later than 1902. Sir. Wright says nnd ho Is a dis passionate investigator, unaffected by politics, that the average cost of living for each family in tho United States In 1896 was $290.76. These wore worklngmen's families. More over, tho figures are based on accu rate data ohtnlned from 2,567 separ rate households. In 1902 the average cost per family per year had ad vanced to J344.G1. The year 1896 i was the year or low prices, although I It was also a year of low wages, as everybody knows, although Mr. Wright's report doesn't say, so. In 1896 the average cost of living I for each of 90 families In Western i states was $287.84; in tbo same states in 1902 the same number of families ' U ,1 II 11 1 II 11 nAcnn i OOOn 41 , Commissioner WrlghCe figures cover each year from 1890 to 1902, Inclus ive. Throughout that period it is no ticeable that the average cost of liv ing in every year subsequent to 1892 was smaller in tho Western states than In tho United States as a whole. In 1S90 ami 1891 tho coat In tho West ern states was slightly larger. The food of work'Ingmen's families .cost, more In 1902 by at least $18 per year than In any year since 1889. For tho last six years the cost has steadily increased.. Yet the purchas ing power of tho people has Increased also, No data are available, of course, for 1903. success, which has provon one of the most SUCCCSBfUl nlcCCS In thn muolnnl line that has over been prosentod, at uiu rtttzur luuigui.

Whether or not tho Portland cement factqries throughout the country ' shall closo down during the winter is to be de cided at a special meeting begun in thin city today by the Association of Portland Cement Manufacture of the united States. The question was tentatively discussed at tho annual convention of the association hold in Detroit last summer, but final action was left to tho present conference.
