Samuel Brazier, In Post's Public. srxD.w closing made easy. Beginning today, President Uoose vell will shake off the dust of vapitpl and for two months will be cuddled In the bosom of nature, as found In the Colorado and Texas mountains and deserts. Nowhere else in the world Is this return of a ruler to nature possible. In Europe it is impossible for even the most progressive ruler to lay aside the crushing weight of his crown and Insignia, for n resting spell such as Roosevelt will take this spring. Being one of the people, chosen by them, owing his best efforts to their welfare, why should uot Roosevelt or any other president be one of them in fact? Why should he not take a vacation, following his bent for a month and build up brain and nerve vigor for fresh tasks on his return to Washington ? If It requires this sort of relaxa tion to rebuild Roosevelt's expended energies, let him take It freely, with out criticism. He the hardest worker that has ever held the office, so let him play hard If it Is necessary to preserve his force. In Instructing the jury trying the j saloon men in Baker county for keeping open on Sunday, Judge Sam j White said emphatically, that It was not necessary for the state to prove a sale of liquor on Sunday, In order to convict. IF THE STATE COULD PROVE THAT THE SALOON DOORS WERE KEPT OPEN FOR. THE SALE OF LIQUOR. THIS WAS ALL THAT THE STATUTE REQUIRED TO CONVICT AND HE ORDERED THE JURY TO RETURN A VERDICT OF TUILTY WHERE THE STATE HAD PROVED THAT DOORS WERE KEPT OPEN ON SUNDAY, RE GARDLESS OF SALES. And yet where so little evidence as this Is required, the law is flagrant ly violated everywhere. Where the evidence of one responsible citizen showing that saloon doors were kept open on Sunday, would convict every saloon man In Oregon of a felony, they are run wide open regardless of the law. Is the saloon man wholly to blame where public sentiment Is thus cal loused to the breach of the laws? Are not the people themselves, large ly to blame for the flagrant violation of this law. where such a condition of apathy exists? And yet Just such a condition of apathy existed In Baker county be fore District Attorney Lomax and Sheriff Brown exhibited moral cour age and backbone enough to enforce the law. After they had once made the start, public sentiment has be come so strong in backing them up, that everybody now favors Sunday closing and the suppression of gam bling and the town Is not suffering, eltht-r. but Is Improving Its reputa tion and Is taking on the semblance of a civilized community. The officials who have thus enforc ed the law In Baker county will go down In the history of the state as the most honest, the most fearless, the most courageous In the state's his tory, because they dared to assert their manhood and read the law aright. WELCOME, IIEX-EY. Heney.lt has been lonely and gloomy In Oregon, since you left and the state welcomes you back, with your magic sack of surprises and your keen scented nose, poking Into the suspicious actions of Oregon's big gang of red handed frauds. The grand jury shouK work a night shift, every night, If necessary, In or der to get to the bottom of these frauds. The example to rising young politic ians In Oregon should be so realistic and thrilling that In future there will he no possibility of disgrace to the state. The young men Just coming to man hood and political maturity, should find In the Indictments of these older politicians a lesson that should never for n second forsake their memories. It should be a safeguard for them, whr-n future tempters whisper In their ears to do something dirty In politics or In private life. Heney Is a bene- I.IOl'ID SUNSHINE ITISE. Dr. Harper, president of the Uni versity of Chicago,, who is critically 111 with cancer, is taking liquid sun shine treatment, as prescribed by Dr. W. J. Morton, its discoverer. Liquid sunshine Is the life-giving property felt in the warmth and glow of the sun's rays, extracted by deli cate processes and condensed into a medicine which can be given In doses to suit the needs of the occasion. It is the very latest achievement in chemistry and Its effect, as a medi cine, is being watched with Intense in terest. This medicine, given in connection with the X-ray treatment is said to cause the patient 'o glow at every pore of the skin, as If a million can dles had been lighted in the tiny cells of the cuticle. Light and colors are coming into use as medicines and this use of the condensed sunshine, ' while It seems fabulous, promises to be one of the common remedies of the future. INVESTMENTS THAT PAY. For what purpose Is the 19lh in fantry sailing over the seas to the Philippines? The glamor of war Is "sioklied-o'er" with the painful re ality that the flower of the youth is being plucked for this wasteful, mur derous trade, and who benefits by it? Does the farmer, mechanic, tradesman or laborer benefit by the fighting in the Philippines? The truth is. just a few capitalists who will receive all the returns from the industries of the Islands will be th) sole beneficiaries. The government income from the islands will not pay the powder bill, much less the cost of maintaining the army and navy and the civil and mil itary authorities of the islands. Bryan finds the work of promul gating plans for democratic reorgani zation to be a chilly task, In the light of Roosevelt's popularity. If all democrats were like Bryan, reorgan ization would not be necessary. But as it Is, reorganization, suit, nor no other kiiown preservative can save some democrats, so the people prefer the democratic Roosevelt and his dare-devil honesty, to the questiona ble democracy of some of the self styled democratic leaders. PI 1 1 LA DELPHI A'S SCOURGE. In five days of last week 270 cases of typhoid fever were reported In Philadelphia. Two hundred and forty-seven new cases were reported the week before. Year In and year out Philadelphia averages about 200 cases of typhoid weekly, or more than 10,000 a year. It Is well within the bounds of reason to say that every case of typhoid fever costs the victim at least 1200. Often the ex pense is very much higher. So It will be seen thdt typhoid costs the citizens of Philadelphia in doctor bills, nursing, medicine and lost time something like (2,000,000 every year. This leaves out of the question the sorrow, the heartbreak, the lasting woe of those who are be reaved by typhoid fever. And typhoid Is classed by physicians as an abso lutely preventable disease. "Nothing but the water supply Is blamed by the health officers for the prevalence of typhoid fever," says a Philadelphia paper. And It adds: "The filtration system will not be fin ished Inside of from two to three years." In other words, for from two to three years longer the citizens of Philadelphia must endure the scourge of typhoid fever. Fruit Prospect at The Dalles. Inquiring of R. H. Weber this af ternoon as to the condition of fruit trees In and about The Dalles; as to whether or not the recent frost have damaged the fruit, we learn that so far as he has discovered, or has learned, no Injury has been done, and unless a serious cold snap comes on, the crop will He especially good. The Dalles Chronicle. In New York there are thousands of acres now vacant, which, 50 or a 100 years hence, may have enormous value, says the Post of that city. The land Investments of the Astor fumlly are the classic illustration. The first John Jacob invested $2,000,000 in New York real estate; according to competent Judges, Its value today, plus the value of the land purchased by Its earnings, ranges anywhere from $300,000,000 to 000. 000,000. In 1S04, John Jacob Astor purchas ed the Samler farm several blocks south of the present Tompkins Square for $25.000.. It Is now worth not far from $S, 000, 000. In 1825, William B. Astor bought a half interest In the Thompson farm extending along the present line of Fifth avenue from 31st to 36st street for $24,000; It Is now worth ut least $35,000,000. Both these properties, when acquired, were neglected wastes partly swamp land; and their purchasers were regarded as fit subjects for the Insane asylum. Where He the city's future Fifth ave nues, Broadways and Wall streets? I With modern transit, there are practically no limits to our growth. When the present city plan was adopted in 1811, the commissioners felt constrained to upologize for map ping New York up to 155th street. It would be many centuries, they ex plained, before the Harlem plains would be built upon. CREMATION STATISTICS. Statistics for the German empire show a further increase of crema tions, there having been cremated 1, 381 bodies In 1904, against 1074 bodies in 1903, an increase of 28 per cent, and double the number cre mated In 1901. The Ootha crematory had 301 Incinerations; Hamburg 281, Jena 189, Mainz 158, Heidelberg 155, Offenbach 123. Mannheim 74, Eeise nach 56, and Karlsruhe 46. Of the bodies cremated 908 were males and 473 females; 1050 were of the Evan gelical, 142 of Catholic and 108 of Jewish faith; 44 were Freethinkers and 57 were of undetermined relig ious views. Near Badham. S. C four trainmen were killed and Freight Engineer Heed was fatally injured in a head on collision today between a through freight and a fast pnssenger train on the Southern railway. It is asserted that Engineer Reed's watch was 30 minutes slow and that this was the cause of the wreck. Little Journeys To the Homes of Great Restorers. We have all been charmed with the sincerity of the woman who colled to her neighbor, " How are ye ? Not that 1 care a hang, but just to make a little conversation." There is one sort ol communication that does not belong to the conven tional, forced type. It is the call of the wild, the prayer of the sufferer, the letter of the sick to the trusted phy sician. If one is ill enough to admit it, he or she wants direct, personal, immediate help, not vague, experimental, general dosing. Collin varnish proved to be the last remedy in the world for Mr. Peck's rheumatism, and it iB only one of a thousand cases on record where they had to guess again. There is indiscriminate taking, as well as indis criminate giving, and the weak and helpless are the victims. Two-thirds of the graft of the world is being looted from the sick. This little journey is to the home office of a physician who has broken the world's. record for the number of patients examined and treated. Is this doctor with thousands of patients, with a mail large enough to require a special mail service, giving the world a square deal? Is he giving each case individual attention? Is he able to give the suf ferer who has placed his life in his hands the latest and most improved treatment that science offers? Does he hold the record for the number of cases actually cured? This is a big scientific question and it should be approached with the true scientific spirit of faithful inquiry, free from cant. Dr. R. V. Pierce, head of the famous World's Dispensary Medical Associa tion at Buffalo, would tell you that he does not attempt the superhuman feat ol reading the hundreds of letters that are sent to nim day in and day out, year aftei year. Marshall Field, the great Chicago merchant, would make clumpy work ot personally taking care of all his mail orders. In great concerns the work is systematized, with each detail in the hands of an expert. When Samantha Allen went to the New York stores she insisted upon buying of the proprietor, but Mr. A. T. Stewart happened to be out. Dr. Pierce has built up a great scientific bureau of medical experts, and when you send or go to him for advice you get the prompt, direct, per sonal help your case demands. If you have locomotor ataxia you are not set upon by an important personage who has specialized on the ear in some for eign hospital. You get an expert upon your special trouble. If you apply for help in a letter this letter is carefully studied and immediately submitted to the physician who has devoted his life to fighting your particular trouble. If you come yourself you are put in charge of a doctor who has specialized for years upon the disease that threat ens "you. Which is the scientific way to goto one doctor and demand almost omnipotent knowledge, or to depend upon a carefully organized bureau of experts? which is likely to be of the greatest help in time of trouble, one lone doctor passing upon twenty diseases, or twenty doctors ready to give their best advice upon one case ? It is the day of the specialist, and the World's Dispensary Medical Asso ciation, with its staff of eminent physi cians, with its dispensary and splen didly equipped hospital, with its world famous medicines and its honor and care in dealing with the public, has fairly won the largest patronage that medical history records. Thus endeth this little journey to a great life-saving station. The cures are on record. lie who runs may read. 3 liMHE Laxative of KNOWN yilALIT There are two classes ot remedies: those of known qual ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when natureneeds assist ance ; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality andexcellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Fics, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasantsyrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity tlavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refreshandcleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with he favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their ownr personal knowledge and from actual experience mv.a a t i llfJJllkJ 1 . vtmm m mm W.A'.: Jik pies and quali Wff0MMi remedy has th ft it M the favor of ma M Hfix&iXiMS; .. ft thatit is a most excellent laxative remedy.

There are two classes of purchasers: those who are informed as to the quality of whatthev buvand the reasonsfor the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. . To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional tegrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the Genuine Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the tront ot every package, Price, 50c ptr bottle.
