Without examining ine col lection or having shown it Superin tendent Seymour took them to the Gooseneck school on Friday to use them as part of the rally day progiarn. He had put only a few of these on the screen when a picture oi y school work appeared. In the col lection of 35 pictures Mr. Seymour found seven taken about the schools in this county, just one-fifth of the total collection. These seven were the only pictures taken in uregon, an-1 excepting three taken in different parts of the state of. Washington, were the only pictures taken on the Pacific coast. The remainder of the collection were views of eastern scii'"il work. The tribute to Polk county, its school system and its accomplish ments ia evident. That the federal hnvean should recoirnize the work of this oarticular county among all those of Oregon and most of those on the coast in preparing a series oi siiues for exhibition throughout the nation comes to the county like a prize from a fair, an honor to a system that pro duces results that seem to be better than it hose of the majority of commu nities in the country. ACTION OF SINGLE SPOONFUL SURPRISES MANY. Dallas rjeoole who boueht the sim ple mixture of buckthorn bark, gly cerine, etc., known as Adler-i-ka, are surprised at the INSTANT effect of a SINGLE SPOONFUL. This rem edv is so complete a bowel cleanser that it is used successfully in appen dicitis. Adler-i-ka acts on B01H up per and lower bowel and ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost aim i CASE of constipation, sour or gassy stomach. ONE MINUTE after you take it the gasses rumble and pass out.
