Don't think you can cure your dyspepsia

That is weak and incapable of perform

THB SMITH-PREMIER WAY.
Durpby & Dlckerman Are as Interesting
as a Popular Novel.
A good illustration of the way the
northwest is being waked np ia afforded
by the doings of Durpby & Dicker man,
the energetic firm who control the
Smith-Premier typewriter on the Pa
cific Coast. Tuesday, June 9, W. H.
Durphy, senior member, and F. B.
Porter, Portland manager, arrived in
Portland; Wednesday they leased the
tore, 247 Stark street, and let con
tracts for fitting op the most com
plete and attractive typewriter estab
lishment in the city; Thursday they
sold 25 Smith-Premier typewriters to
the Behnke-Walker Business college
the largest typewriter order ever placed
in Portland. Mr. Durphy, hale and
hearty, crackling with energy, and
'.Manager Porter, courteous and compet
ent, master of his business, are calling
upon some dozens of the people a day,
getting acquainted and advertising
their splendid machine and the fact
that . they are sole selling agents for
this coast. This concern is famous
and successful on account of its great
activity and punctilious integrity in
poshing the best typewriter made.
The incoming of fresh blood of this
kind into local commercial circles is
one of the hopeful signs of the hour.
As a sample of up-to-date methods in
"getting busy" Durphy & Dickerman's
25-machine order within 24 hours after
aniving in town (better than one ma
chine an hoar) takes the palm.

The mirror never flatters: it tells
truth, no matter how much it may hurt the
cride or how humiliating and disagreeable
the reflections. A red, rough skin
beauty, and blackheads, blotches
are ruinous to the complexion, and
desperate efforts are made to hide these blemishes, and
cover over the defects, and some never stop to consider
the danger in skin foods, face lotions, soaps, salves
and powders, but apply them vigorously and often with
out resrard to consequences, and many complexions
are ruined by the chemicals and

Skin diseases are due to internal
blood, and to attempt a cure by exter
nal treatment is an endless, hopeless
task. Some simple wash or ointment
is often beneficial when the skin 'is
much inflamed or itches, but you cant
depend upon local remedies for perma
nent relief, for the blood is continually
throwing off impurities" which irritate
and clctg the glands and pores of
the skin, and as long as the blood re
mains unhealthy, just so long will the
eruptions last. To effectually and per
manently cure skin troubles the blood
must be purified and the system

that produces these nuts Is called the

used In America, wfiether termed
ivory, pearl, rubber, horn or bone,
come from this ivory plant. "Thus the
probabilities are that your buttons are
made from a vegetable milk, and they
grow on bushes.

The best ivory nut for commercial

River Magdaleria, In the United
States of Colombia, where by some it
Is called the Tagua palm. The fruit
forms a globular head about twice the
size of a man's head and weighs from

head Is a kind of cluster of bulbs, and
in all contains from fifty to sixty seeds,
The seeds are allowed to dry and are

natives.
era' authority on everything that pee

used almost solely in the manufacture
of buttons, though some factories also
' make poker chips from them. The
nut, however, has superseded the
archaic mud. rubber and bone buttons
In vogue formerly. It admits of wid

purpose than any other known sub

United States consumes more than one
half of the world's product of ivory
nuts and nine-tenths of the vegetable
Ivory Is manufactured into buttons.
"When the nut reaches the button''
factory it Is cut into three slabs. In:
the process of cutting ut, the button
Is partially shaped. Afterwards the
thread holes are drilled and counter

the polisher, who uses the shavings

they are sent to the designer, who

CROWNING 18 UNNECESSARY.
Plenty of Monarch! Reism Comforta
bly Without the Ceremony.
The suggestion is made In certain
high quarters that the coronation un
less privately performed should In
future' be discontinued altogether.
There are various potent reasons for
this.. In the first place, the sovereign
in these days does not require corona
tion. The fact oi his being on the
throne Is sufficient justification for his
sovereignty. In the old days, before
the ceremony became a mere religious
function, as at present, it was regarded
as essential to crown the king before
his right and title could be looked upon
as unquestioned. He was then actu
ally accepted by the nobility and tbe
people as the rightful sovereign,
against whom all pretenders had ever
after no legal claim.
Nowadays the coronation does not
even serve the purpose of symbolizing
kingship. That fact Is assumed by
the accession ceremony following the
death of a predecessor. That the cor
onation ceremony Is not now regarded
in the same light as heretofore is at
tested by the fact that most of the
reigning kings of Europe have never
been crowned.
The kaiser, who has now been on
the throne for over twelve years, will
probably never have the crown, either
of Prussia or Germany, placed upon
his Imperial head.
There is a story prevalent on tbe
continent that the bishop of Posen,
whose predecessors have crowned
Prussian kings for many generations,
is persona non grata with the kaiser,
and that as long as the present bishop
lives the sovereign will not allow him
to perform the ceremony; but there Is
also a belief that the kaiser Is not
particular whether he is crowned or
not, bo long as he Is on the throne
firmly and Irrevocably.
Victor Emmanuel, king of Italy, has
not been crowned; nor has Queen Wil
helmlna of "Holland, who, though her
coming of age was generally mistaken
for a coronation, has not yet had her
crown placed on her head.
The same Is true of the king of
Spain, whose coming of age and ac
cession were not an actual coronation
The sultan, who is now one of the
longest-reigning monarchs in Europe,
has never had the ceremony, perform
ed, and it is certain that he never will
be crowned. There Is no crown sym

Tolstoi's Little Joke.

friends, and asked permission to see

upon my life, but the one which has
taught me the most is your ." Here
she forgot the name of the work.

Way the Tonne Doctor Had to Bom
bard Ilia Own House.
They had been married only a short
while. He was a young and struggling
physician, and she a very sweet de

of burglars, so that when It did hap
pen that the doctor bad a sick call
during the wee hours, they resorted
to all means that she might know that
it was he who wished to enter the
house upon his return and not the
dreaded night prowlers.
Tbe calls were not many, but some
how they had never hit upon a success
ful plan until the wife exclaimed one
morning at breakfast: "I have It now,
Jack; after this you knock five times
and let there be a minute between
each knock; then I'll be sure to know
it is yourself." Jack, so the story
goes, was not In favor of having to

In the confusion didn't hear or, what
was more likely, forgot all about the
five knocks that he was to give the
front door upon his return.
During his absence the fearful wife
"could hear nothing but knocks," she
afterward said, "and I was jost so
nervous alone In a strange house and
neighborhood, that I thought Jack had
been gone an hour before he had time
to turn the corner. Finally I heard
the bell ring; then somebody tried the
door. I was nearly dead from fright
and don't know what'would have hap
pened had it not been that any number
of stones began storming against the
house. I knew this was an unusual
attack for burglars, so with a prayer
on my lips that Jack would return at
least some time during that dreadful
night I ventured to the window and
peeped out It was Jack, and he saw
me."
"You've waked up the whole neigh
borhood. Why don't you let me In?"
he fairly shouted.
'Why didn't you knock?" came back
the small voice.
'Why didn't I knock?" again shriek
ed the Irate husband. "Didn't you
hear the panel fall out of the door?'

wife; "but you didn't knock the right

cian. To the modern expert, he says,
disease is merely the outcome of nat
ural processes whose purpose, at bot
tom, is a kindly or beneficent one. Its
symptoms are merely "expressions of a
natural effort toward cure;" they are
"not malign' in intent, but have for
their end the ridding of the body of
the very troubles which they are sup
posed ta represent." After all, how
ever, this view is not so very new.
Even in the Middle Ages wise men
talked of the "curative force of na
(ture," and in this phase lies the truth
on which Sir Frederick has based his
fecture. Still, it is frequently forgotten
that nature means well by us, and it is
a good thing to be once in a while re
minded of it.

no reason why you must
go through life with half
