BABY'S SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN
A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
" At the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out 011 his right
cheek. We used all tho external ap
plications that wo could think or hear ol,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
Bide of his face. We consulted a physi
cian and tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But to my Burprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. It
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, I began giving him
Hood's Sarsaparilla. I also took Hood's
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hood's Sarsaparilla, for which I feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." Mrs. S. S. Wboten, Farming

The national editorial convention,
whioh meets at Portland in July, is
anxiously looked forward to by the
editors in all parts of the United Mates,
and Portland is making every effort for
tbeir entertainment. Mr. Haroonrt, a
newspaper man of ability, spent a tew
days tbis week in Heppner endeavoring
to raise by subscription a fund sufficient
to insure in a souvenir, to be carried
home by the editors, a write up of Mor
row conoty, setting forth its jeeouroes,
opportunities for investment, etc. A
tew of onr enterprising citizens seemed
to appreciate this opportunity of sain
ing world-wide recognition, but tbe
majority tailed to be impressed witb
its importance, and be retired from this
Held somewbut dieappoiuted.
Aooording to our judgment tbis con
vention ot newspaper men will plaoe
Oiegon witb its vast resources promi
nently in tbe minds ot every intelligent
being witbin tbe boundary lines of tbe
Dnited States, and tbis effort on tbe
part of Portland's prominent men lo
(arn'sh tbem with all the possible in
formation regarding our atate is worthy
of tbe support ot every Oregoniao, and
expense should be spared by no com
munity, necessary to its just recognition.
Without a doubt, their visit bere will
result in a marked moreaie in tbe popu

time, and in the solicitation of immigra
tion capital should not be overlooked.
To tbe Gazette bas been entrusted tbe
