I' i PAGE EIGHT. BUT IT DOESN'T Many Have the Erroneous Idaa that Fat Makes Fat ONE REASON OF COD LIVER OIL'S POPULARITY. Nevertheless a Decidedly Wrong Im pression. Fat taken Into the stomach does not make fat Thousands of physi cians have prescribed cod liver nil for wasting diseases and all troubles that show themselves In a decline of weight. Physicians know that the fat or grease Is not what Is necessary to make fat or tissue. They also know that It Is one of the main things that make cod liver oil Impractical In many cases. The fat Is too rich to be digested by a stomach weakened by disease. When cod liver oil Is given, often the oil passes from the body in exact ly the same state In which it is re ceived. The reason doctors prescribe cod liver oil is that It contains cer tain curative properties. It is to take advantage of these same curative properties that they have so often tried to force their patients to take this horrible, greasy, vile-smelling, nauseating remedy. There are but few people who have not had experience In one way or an other with cod liver oil, and even the thought of Its smell Is enough to cause a shudder. 'When we think of these things It Is not strange that every one In our city Is sounding the praise of Vlnol. Vinol. which the Brock & McComaa Co., are handling. Is the solution of an embarrassing puzzle that physicians have had to contend with for years. Much has been. said In the past few days of this wonderful discovery and yet It would be Impossible to say too much In Its praise. Vlnol will indeed prove itself to be a Godsend of the most precious kind. As we have described it before, there la no need now of entering Into the subject at length; but Just remember that In Vlnol you can procure all the medicinal properties or curative prin ciples that make cod liver oil famous, but "without the greasy fat." Vlnol contains Just the right amount of the active medicinal properties of the cod's liver that is necessary for the cure of such diseases as cod liver oil has been prescribed for. This is a subject that every one should become familiar with and we recommend that you make Inquiries of your druggists In regard to Vinol. or If you will call on the Brock & McComns Co., who have associated themselves -with the Boston chemists who are preparing this remedy, they will gladly give any one all explana tions that may be desired in regard to this subject.

Pendleton - - - - - Oregon 1 DAILY EAST FIRS IT SCHOOL 14 I I IN OLD OREGON JOHN BALL TAUGHT AT VANCOUVER IN 1832. Hull Was the Guest of Dr. John Mc Laughlin and Opened the First School Ever Taught In the North west In a Hudson Buy Warehouse lit Old Ft. Vancouver Tired of J jvuemug nuu went on a .Farm Left the Pacific and Went Eust, I and Became tlio Founder of Grand Rapids. The first school taught within the confines of the territory now known as either Oregon, Washington or Ida ho, was during the winter of 1832-3, In a warehouse at Vancouver according to the best Information ob tainable by George H. Hlmes, the curator of the Oregon Historical So ciety. Not many of the details in re lation to it are now known, and the names of but four of Its pupils are known, together with that of Its teacher, John Ball. Much of Mr. Hlmes' Information about the school has been gained from one of the pupils William Cameron McKay, for whose father, Thomas, McKay creek In Umatilla county, was named. Thomas died in 1849 at Scappoose Plains, Columbia county, Ore. Thomas McKay's father was Alexander McKay, who was a partner of John Jacob Astor in the enterprise of founding a trading post and town at the mouth of the Colum bia. The other pupils whose names are known are David McLoughlln, a son of Dr. McLoughlln; Louis LaBonte and Raymond MacDonald. There were approximately 20 pu pils in the school, which was taught In a warehouse used ordinarily for the sorting of furs, or possibly cloth ing and provisions. At any rate, It was taught in a storehouse of some kind 'belonging to the Hudson Bay Company. About its equipment of seats and desks and other furnishings nothing Is known. Mr. McKay was always positive that the school was opened about three days after the arrival of the Capt. Nathaniel Wyeth wagon train with which John Ball came to the coast, and it is a matter of history that this train reach ' Vancouver November 17, 1832. Ball immedtate- ly Importuned Dr. McLoughlln to give him employment. Ball was an edu cated man a graduate of some New England college, which one is not 8 known and the usual run of pur suits In which the pioneers engaged were foreign to his tastes and abili ties. At the same time, Ball was a very Independent man, and sturdily rejected Dr. McLoughlin's Insistent Invitation that he simply consider himself the doctor's guest. It is altogether likely that Dr. McLoughlln had no reservations In his Invitation to Ball to consider him self his guest. Ball was one of the very few men perhaps the only man at that time In that country who ap proximated Dr. McLoughlin's equal In culture and refinement, and at the same time In sympathies as well. Nevertheless, Mr. Ball preferred not to be under any possible shadow of obligations, and Dr. McLoughlln finally understanding this, suggested that Ball teach a school, and Insisted that the school was needed. Ball acted on the suggestion, and as near ly as can be ascertained, the school was opened November 20, 1832, as stated. Quit Teaching for a Farm. For reasons not now known, Ball relinquished the school In March, 1833, and made up his mind to farm. He borrowed 25 bushels of wheat of Dr. McLoughlln, and went up to the Willamette river, to a point about three miles from Champoeg. Twenty bushels of the wheat he sowed, and five bushels he reserved for bread, to "piece out" the coarse fare which was usual with the settlers. Ball built a cabin, broke ground and put In his crop. As nearly as can be learned the wheat crop yield ed well. At any rate In the fall Ball had enough to be able to repay Dr. McLoughlln in kind, and the balance he sold for enough to pay his fare home by sea. One summer at actual farming, supplemented with exposure, work to which he was unaccustomed; fever, ague and fleas, was enough for Ball, and in the fall he shipped on a Hudson Bay ship at Vancouver and returned to New England via the Sandwich islands and Cape Horn. He never returned to Oregon, but he by no means went Into retirement. He was a man of force and Judgment, and with the pioneer Instinct. Founder of Grand Rapids. In 1886, when he was St years of age, (Ball was born In Lansingburg, N. T., In 1800), an asociatlon of his friends sent him west from New Eng land to timber cruise in Michigan. One result of his labors In behalf of this association was that Ball be came the founder of the city of Grand Rapids, Mich., where he made his home until his death in 1890, at the age of 90. He once - made Grand Rapids a present of 10 acres of land, whfch the city laid out and developed and named "John Ball Park." It is now the most beautiful park in that beautiful city. John Ball was a bachelor until he was 55 years of age. When past the half century mark he was married. :tt and by his first and only wife became the father of 12 children, tne young est born when he was 78 years of age. It is said that all these children are living. One of Mr. Ball's daughters. Mrs. Kate Ball-Powers of Whlttler, Cal., visited Mr. Hlmes In August of the present year, and presented the State Historical Society with , a life-size oil ORBGONIAN.
