SENATE PURCHASES MOTLEY ARRAY OF
ARTICLES FOR CONVENIENCE OE MEMBERS
Washington, Jan. 11. Purchases
made in the course of a year for thq
e of the senators, directly and Indi
rectly, make up a list almost Infinite
)a ita variety.
They are set forth in detail in the
aaitua. report of the secretary of the
cnate and in strict accordance with
the law that requires the publication
f the record of every expenditure,
he allows no item to escape. There
are articles for business and for com
fort, for the medicine chest and for
the toilet.
Regard for manly charms still en
dures in the senate, tempestuous ques
tions of state to the contrary notwith
standing. In the secretary's . report.
Just Issued, it appears that four doz
en bottles of popular grades of co
logne and a gallon of another brand
f cologne were a part of the stores
laid In last year, a fragrant reminder
f olden times when gallant beaux
were wont to meander about In an
Invisible zone of incense-'.aden atmos
phere. Thus romance lives on and
on and anybody not liking cologne can
lump it.
Another reminder of the good old
days is the habit of taking snuff. It
till lives, and a single invoice of two
pounds of Copenhagen snuff indicates
that even In the council house of the
nation there exists a demand for this
solace of old age. Fall.ng hair, too,
appears to be an issue. There is an
item of one dozen bottles of a cele
brated brand of hair tonic, $27.75,
and two bottles of another brand,
$1.50, not quite so celebrated. A lit
tle further along are other items re
minding the reader again of the age
of perfume. A dram of oil of rose
at $1, three ounces of rose extract, at
$1.26 and three ounces of heliotrope
extract, also at. $1.26, have all been
drawn upon to enhance the salubrious
senatorial presence.
Ills come to senators as to common
mortals and natural enough It Is that
the chamber be fortified against the
dread invasion of germs and bacilli..
Stovaine has not been adopted, but
the senate batteries bristle with three
bottles of bromo seltzer, three bottles
of bromo caffeine, three bottles of
Abbey's salts, one dozen bottles each
of pepsin tablets, Jamaica ginger, vas
eline, listerine (large size); one doz
en packages of laxative bromo-qu.n-ine,
one dozen packages of court plas
ter, one dozen seidlitz powders, one
pound of soda mint tablets, 200 rhin
itis tablets, 500 lithla tablets, one
pound of bicarbonate, soda tablets, six
ounces of aromatic spirits of ammon
ia, one case of Hunyadi water, one
quart of ol.ve oil, two quarts of am
monia, and so on through a long list.
Two kips of chamois skins at $43.
20, two ounces of quince seed and six
ounces of bergamot were also among
the things laid in stock.
Soap? .Yes, there was half a gross
of imported French soap, perfumed,
$44.65. Four gross of another fancy
soap cost $121.40 and there was a lot
of three other less expensive brands.
In the supplies of last year the sen
ate bought one bottle each of mustang
liniment, "gargling oil and North Car
ol, na tar. It took in large amounts
of timothy hay, oats, meal and bran.
The old joke about the senator's
breakfast food is outlawed by the
statute of limitations, however. The
cereals and such are not for the sen
ators but for the senate stables. Other
entries show the purchase of one gal
lon of Neat's foot oil, $1; one quart of
foot dressing, 75r cents, two mane
brushes, 75c, and three pairs of iron
holdback hoops, $1.
Some of the magic maneuvers in
the senate may possibly be explained
by the 'fact that 50 gallons of Alla
din Oil were bought for senatorial
use. Some other 1. quids were: Four
gallons of alcohol, 25 barrels of strain
ed West Virginia oil, one barrel of
formaldine, and five gallons of witch
hazel.
In the first two months of 1909 the
senators consumed 159 cases of ap
olllnaris water, valued at $139S and
99 cases of lithla water valued at $433.
Quinine pills were bought by the thou
sand and frequently.
Seventy-five pages of the report
are devoted to a record of telegrams
received or sent at government ex
pense. The statesmen have the right
to charge Uncle Sam with the cost of
telegraphing about official business,
but they must acquaint the secretary
with the name of the person to whom
a telegram Is sent, the town and the
price.
In the payrolls there appear many
employes whose names are similar to
those of senators. If this similarity
indicates kinship 'It appears that at
least one-third of the senators have
provided for relatives on the payroll
One of the senators has three mem
bers of his family at the trough..
A year of tho senate, counting sal
aries and all expenses, cost tho gov
ernment $1,826,452.88.

"THE LAND OP NOD" TS
GREAT SCENIC PRODUCTION
A beautiful production of musical
comedy and extravaganza will occupy
the stage of the Oregon theater
Friday, January 14, when "The Land
of Nod" will be presented. This is
ono of those mnsslvo organizations
which are characterized by a plentl
tude of comedians, singers and danc
ers, and numerous chorus and ballet,
and In which scenery, costumes and
"effects" are lavishly displayed. "The
Land of Nod" has Impressed itself
strongly on all who have witnessed it
on account of Its decidedly unique
character creations, such as "tho Man
in the -Moon," "Welsh Rarebit,"
"Sandman." "King t and Queen of
Hearts." "April Fool," and similar
unusunl personages. The locale in
which they move Is only encountered
in tales of fairyland and In Arabian
Nights. It is all clever and Interest
ing and its comedy Is whole and good.
The musical score contains plenty of
the jingling, catchy sort of composi
tion, which enlivens and satisfies,
Practically the same excellent cast
which made the "Land of Nod" so
conspicuous among New York suc
cesses constitutes the present com
pany, including Knox W.lson, who
will be seen in his original part.
Prom'nent in- the cast are Noil Mc
Neil and Anna McNabb. The sole o
seats begins next Thursday at 10 a.

Value of Advertising to the Buyer
By Seth Brown in the Commercial Union
We hear a good deal about the good af ad
vertising to business.
Now suppose we turn the subject around
and look at it from the other the buyers
Bide.
Good is mighty broad.
It takes in both sides.
If it ia too heavy on one side it ceases to
be good.
Ita power and efficiency is relative to its
fierfecfion of balance usefulness to buyer
and seller.
And now for the buyer.
Life is more a scientific problem today
than yesterday.
Tomorrow it will be more perfect.
The striving, pushing, jamming and gen
eral hurry of mankind is not an evidence of
utrest, but rather of continual effort tow
ards a more perfect and harmonious state
of existence.
Trying to get on easy street mentally,
physically and financially.
Trying to free ourselves from the bondage
t'i clumsy methods the ox-team part of our
existence.
Trying, each in his sphere, tc live better,
fiijoy more comforts, better picture?, wear
more harmonious clothes and eat better grub.
Into this mass of human striving comes a
man like Ileinz, of Pittsburg, for instance,
of Frank Van Camp, of Tndianapolis or a
hundred other ordinary mortals who have
just done a little in making things more
comfortable- for our irtsides.
Every farmer's wife and some city wives
know how to bake beans and "put up" pick
Its but Ileinz and Van Camp do it a little
nioro scientifically and then everybody
can't be a farmers' wife.
Ileinz used to grate up horseradish and
peddle it from basket. That, and the good
influence of his mother was his business
foundation. His son told me all about it,
''but that is another story."
I don't know how Frank Van Camp hap
pened to start baking beans. It doesn't
matter.
Somehow Ileinz and Van Camp learned
how to do an old fashioned thing a little bet
ter than most honekeepers can do it and a
rrtighry sight better than the majority of
"dear little wifevs."
.Men and women like good things to eat.
They have a right to the best.
Beans and pickles are worth while if they
are right
Van Camp and Ileinz know how to make
the "worth while" kind everytime.
But how is the wife to know which cann
ed beans or bottled pickles to trust ?
, By the name of the baker and the pickle
man on the package. '
Advertised made known.
Pickles and beans are only used as a type
an index of hundreds of other good ad
vertised things.
Drop the wife down in a country where
advertising is unkonwn and her days would
be full of sorrow and her husband's nights
full of bad dreams.
It's advertising that has made us more
civilized.
It smooths off the rough edges of ray ex
perience and lets us glide smoothly down the
v.'ay in the big open peaceful sea of har
mony and good living.
It costs the advertiser a lot of money to
make and maintain a reputation.
He can never do it without the right kind
of goods as a foundation.
But n foundation is not a home. It is a
mighty good and important beginning but
regular, persistent, intelligent advertising is
the superstructure.
It tells mankind how to buy safely wirh
assured satisfaction.
From a buying viewpoint mankind is 90
per cent feminine most critical buyers of
rll.
And there you are.
Those who can advertise their store or
product in harmony with this simple story
can win.
Those who cannot might study law, med
i 'no, preaching, be a politician or mission
ary. The public will overlook shortcomings in
oilier directions, but in the purchase of its
necessities and luxuries it needs no text
b.-k or philosophy to prove value.
And it has learned that advertising is a
short cut 'to what it wants "and whatit can
depend on.
The value of advertising to the buyer is
becoming higher every day.

South American Republic Builds Rail
ways, Irrigation Works and High
ways to Assist Interior Farmers
Adopts Legislation to Aid In Reclamation.
.Washington. The Republic of Bra
zil Is patterning after the United
States In regard to the Irrigation of
lands at the expense of the govern
ment, and has adopted legislation to
aid irrigation and dry farming. The
law makes provision for the building
of the following projects: Railways,
from the coast to the Interior, to give
egress for the products of the several
regions, arl branch lines which make
it feasible to extend the sphere of
cultivation over large areas that is
now possible; highways, to enable
p.griculturists to have access to mar
ket centers; dams, to provide reser
voirs; wells, artesian or flowing, to
aid In Irrigation projects; dikes along
rivers which overflow during the
rainy season, to serve In the most ef
fective conservation of the water sup
ply; lowlands along the coast to be
drained, and land suitable for culti
vation elsewhere adapted to that end
In every way possible.
A systematic and scientific study
will be made of the meteorological,
geological and topographical condi
tions In the dry regions, and stations
for the purpose will be established.
Effort will be made to conserve the
forest" resources, and reforestratlon
will be undertaken where practicable.
This measures Indicated are to bo
carried out either by the federal gov
ernment on Its own initiative, or with
the aid and co-operation of the state
governments. The federal govern
ment will undertake to execute such
of the projected work as is deemed to
be most urgent, to the extent provid
ed for by the budget low. In such
of the projects as It may be deemed
proper for the state to undertake, the
union will give its support .by prof
fering plans drawn up on the basis
of a scientific study of tho needs of
each region to be dealt with. The
union will pay Into the treasury of
the state a certain sum to be deter
mined upon, according to the neces
sities of the case, and the provisions
of the appropriation legislation. In
order to secure the help of the union,
the state must make application to
the government and show that cer
tain of its territory is annually affect
ed by extended periods of drought;
I- must show that at least 5 per cent
of the annual receipts of the state
government Is devoted to the relief
of the drought conditions, and that
the appropriations made for that pur
pose are not diverted to other chan
nels. The regulations specify the dimen
sions of the reservoirs to be built, pro
viding for three grades of the .same.
The largest is to have a capacity of
10 000,000 cubic meters (one cubic
meter equals 1,3079 cubic yards), the
medii. n capacity of 2,000.000 cubic
metv;, and the small .a capacity of
r00,(Kji) cubic meters. When It Is de
termined to build the largest reser
voirs lo meet the needs of the general
situation, the federal government
will let the contract to the lowest bid
der though if there be necessity the
work may be done by the government.
Wells mav be sunk for the public
account where the situation seems to
demand It. but If it Is intended that
generally such sources of water sup
ply will be provided for private use,
the landowner for whom a well is
sunk paying only the actual cost of
the labor necessary In sinking it. Thti
Inmlnwner for whom such a well Is
provided wU bo required to supply
wuter for tne domestic use of his Im
mediate neighbors, if necessary.

Dayton. Wash., Jan. 10. Masters

60 per cent of the crop Is stored now
In the warehouses at shipping points
because buyers and sh'ppera aro play
