ENDEAVOR CONVENTION.
Series of Great Meetings
ed Corvallis.
Promis.
Word was received last Mon
day horn State President Rock
wood, of Portland, that the bi
ennial State Christian Endeavor
convention which was to have
been held in Eugene next week,
could not be held there on account
of so many cases of tvphoid fever.
He ask-d if it would be possible
ior Corvallis to hae it held here.
A m-etinir of the rx( ntive com
mittee of the Federation of Chris
tian E-idrax or was called for
Mondav nitiht at which time it
was d;cided to invite the con
vention to this city. While the
time is short in which to prepare
for so great a convention, it is
long enough to make it a great
sneet-ss if Endeavors and citizens
will all work to make thi- one of
the best conventions ever held in
the stjte. Much enthusiasm is
manifest and we have no tear
that Corvallis will, as usual,
move an hospitable host.
At the meet'ne Monday night
thr following committees were
appointed.

A HARD ROW
And a long pull describes the pathway
of a woman afflicted with female.' weak
cess unless she is under the care of a
doctor who has had successful experience
in the treatment of such cases or else has
found the right remedy which can bo
safely used independently of the doctor.
Forty years ago. Dr. R. V. Pierce found
that women were being grossly mal
treatedmainly through ignorance and
carelessness, and he determined to devote
himself - to study and research till he
found the real cause - of their suffering
and a proper remedy for it.
He f mind it, and dug from Nature's
Laboratory, the earth, Nature's remedies
for woman s weaknesses and ailments.
He found in Lady's Slipper root, Black
Cohosh root. Unicorn root, Blue Cohosh
root and G olden Seal root, the required
ingredients.-
The remedial virtues of these he ex
tracted, combined and preserved by his
own peculiar non-alcoholic, glyceric pro
cesses, and the compound is now known
the world over, as Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. .
"The wearing of corsets too tight seemed
to have brousrht on an abdominal pressure,
weakening: the lijramcnts and resulting in
displacement, which troubled me until I was
not fit to walk, and at times could hardly
stand." writes Mrs. Beverly Sltffreaves. of i24
Fulton St.. ban Franciseo. Cal. "A neighbor
advised me to try Dr. Pierce s Favorite Te
scriDtion. Before the first bottle was used
1 felt much better. Improvement went
steadily on, and within four months I was
like a new and well woman once more. j.

TYPHOID CAN BE' AVOIDED.
Water Supply Is Whole Secret of Stav-
ing Off Disease Blame the
' Health Board.
Typhoid is an unnecessary evil,
it is like bad government; civil in
difference is responsible for one as
for the other. As a matter of in
dividual warning there is little to
say, says McClure's Magazine.
Find out where your water comes
from, and, unless the community
guards the general health bv fur
nishing a pure drinking supply,
guard your own by boiling the wa
ter. Don't allow open vaults or
sewage accessible to flies to exist
near where you live. There's a
board of health in your town; if
it's worthless there's a law re
garding nuisances that isn't. Go to
your doctor promptly, "on suspi
cion," if you have any reason to
suppose that you have contracted
the disease. It is no ailment to
parley with. If you know of a case
that the attending physician has
reported privately but not to tho
health department, report it your
self. He won't like that, but it will
be good for him. You pay taxes to
get good water and to have the
laws enforced; one of the best pre
ventives against typhoid ' is the
"pernicious municipal activity'
, which gets what it pays for. After
all, the question as to whether
your city chooses to haye typhoid
fever at great expense like Cleve
land and Chicago, or to avoid it at
less expense, like Lorain and Law
rence, is largely a matter of in
telligent working citizenship.
GINSENG
Information Relating
to the Richest Product :
- - - of the Soil - - -
Prof. Howard, of the Missouri State
Agricultural College, says: "I s n se
American farmers to cultivate Ginseng,
Big profits are -realized. 'It is' easily
grown." A bulletin by the Pennsylvania
State College savs: ."The supply of
native Ginseng Root is rapidly diminish
ing and the price per pound is correspond
insrlv increasing-, while the constant de
mand for the drug in China stands as a
guarantee of a steady market for Ginseng
in the tuture." American consul oeneral
Wildman at Hong Kong writes: "There
will be little difficulty in disposing on
this coast of all the Ginseng that is grown
iu America."
Ginseng is a staple on the 'market the
same as corn,' wheat and -cotton. The
present market price varies from $6.oo to
pa.uo per pouna, wmie lue cost 01 pro
duction is less than $1.50. There is room
in one's garden to grow several hundred
dollars worth each year. 1 he plant can
be grown throughout the United States
and Canada in any soil .or climate that
will grow ordinary garden yegetables.
There are two planting seasons, spring
and fall.
We are buyers and exporters of the
dried product, and grow roots and seeds
for planting purposes. Let us show you
how to make money growing Ginseng.
