' In the blue of the golden weather, Ah, why should we dream of woe! On the sunny side together, It Is up and let us go! For the sunny side Is laughter, i And lure of the llght'heart gleam, With song and Bweet thereafter, . -f. Sleep, and a little dream! In the blue of the golden weather, With the mist of the gold above, ' On feet that are light as feather, - ' It Is up and away, my love! For the sunny side of gladness, . , And lilies that lead to light; ' We have had enough of sadness, . We have known too much of night! Selected. , DOCTORS AND ADVERTISIBG The Lane .county phycicians have passed resolutions dis countenancing all kinds of advertising in the newspapers, even ' to the mention of a physician's or surgeon's name in connection with an operation or case of illness. Nobody outside of the pro fession can reasonably object to this action on the part of the association, since it is assumed that the extremely modest and .retiring members thereof know what they want, or, in this case, -what they don't want, and it really concerns the public very -little.- Duly apologizing for "butting in" The Guard recalls an article on the subject printed in an exchange some time ago in which it was asserted that the strictly "ethical" physician is , the only business man who deems it disgraceful to advertise what he has for sale. He has skill and professional knowlodge in stock, but he refuses to inform the public of the fact. How long would any other business last if it were conducted on that principle? To relinquish the advantages of advertising to the so-called "quacks" is merely to give the specialists the tremendous ben efits derived from judicious publicity. In nearly all other lines of business than medicine there is the keenest rivalry in the matter of advertising. In that profession men reprehend what nearly all other business men doem vital in the conduct of their business. . . It is encouraging to note that there are signs of an awaken ing even among the "ethical"' physicians in other cities. In his address before the Illinois Medical Society at Rockford, Dr. ,-Tercy, of Oalesburg, the president, recognized the situation. , "We must change our attitude toward the publio on the sub ject of advertising," he said. "The irregulars use the press ex tensively, and they educate the public to the injury of all real scientific advance. We must use the same means to forward the true aims and objects of science." Dr. Percy, in short, does not beligve that it is wise to leave the devil in control of the good music. , ' When his confreres make up their minds to 'accept and ex- , emplify his views there will be less talk of "advertising quacks." When advertising ceases to be stigmatized as quackery which it is not physicians willemploy the same mediums of publicity that are used by other men and will profit by them. MinTiire of notes means. For that matter, neither do American editors. Still, if it serves to keep the "open door" in Oriental commerce and peace, editorial disagreement need not worry anybody in either country. As Senator Tillman has repeatedly declared that he believed in trying to get a slice for his state whenever a national melon was cut, he isn't likely to join in the criticism of the Florida Democrats who are asking for the protection of Sea Island cot ton. o This story of a rabbit's playing the piano in a New York house, into, which it was chased by hounds, hasn't got anything on the Everyday occurrence of lambs playing the market in Wall street, while being chased by bulls and bears. Not a word of complaint has been heard from one of the 15,000 fourth-class postmasters placed under civil service rules by the president. The jobs are not big, but the holders wanted them and are willing to keep them. Senator Bourne has been conferring with Mr. Taft again, but he has not yet started a boom for a "second elective" term for him. However, he seems to have landed the Portland post mastership in some way, "Tariff revision calls for the best statesmanship," says the Washington Post. True, but there have been revisions when the noise of private interests drowned the call. But, of course, that will not happen again. Well, suppose Pierpont Morgan has paid $75,000 for a Chi nese rug for his library? Comparatively speaking, that isn't a bit more extravagant than it would be for the most of us to pay 70 cents for one. It's the "one best bet" that the movement for women juries in all cases in which women are principals will not be O. K.'d by the bunch of angel-faced devils who have been acquitted by male juries. " . Talk about man-chasing. The Detroit lady who chased her hubby 4000 miles to sue him for non-support holds the record, whether she gets the support or not. The last Indian medicine man died the other day, but we fear the makers pf bad medicine among the pale faces are increas ing all the time. Railroad men of prominence and others who are in a posi tion to know state that Eugene would be the most popular con vention city in the state if two wants were supplied. One of these is a modern hotel and the other a suitable assembly hall, both of which may be secured within the next year if the "pull together" spirit is allowed to dominate.. What if the proposed hotel is not located just where we may personally want it, or constructed entirely in accordance with our own ideas? If any individual or company is willing to put a large amount of money into such an enterprise, why not allow those most interested to settle the details and make their own plans, giving them at least all tho moral support at our command. We may now secure a hotel that wtfl be a credit to the city for several years to come if the knockers will put away their hammers and be good boost ers, as they should be. The idea that has made Eugene grow for the past two years is, if you can't get what you want, boost for the best there is in sight. 4 -1- 4 Of the stores and Shops Advertising In The Guard.

Eczema Began When a Tiny Baby and Lasted 7 Years Tore Crusts . from Face Till It was All Raw Screamed with Pain and Could not Sleep Though Specialists Failed CUTICURA EFFECTED A WONDERFUL CURE "When my little boy was six weeks old an eruption broke out on his face. i toon mm to a doc tor and got ointments and medicines but his face kept on getting worse until it got so bad that no one could look" at him. His whole face was one crust and must have been very painful. He scratched day and night until his face sometimes looked like a raw piece or meat. I was nearly insane With hH Rfrntnhinn day and night. Then I look him to all the best specialists in skin diseases uut tney couia not do much for him. He sometimes screamed with pain w"en .1 Pot on the salve they gave me. v nen he was two years old the j.v.rnm got on nis arms and legs so jr to keep tnem bandaged up and I made gloves for his hands so the nails could not poison him worse. We could not get a night's sleep in months and mv husband and I were all broken up. Then my mother asked why I did not give up the doctors and try Cutioura. So I got a set and ho felt relieved the first time I used them the Cutioura Ointment felt bo cool. He used to wake up and ask for Cuti oura to be put on wtien lie itched so badly that he could not sleep, and he would say. 'Oh I Mama, that makes my sores reel so good!' I gave the Cuttcura Remedies a good trial and gradually tho eczema healed all up and now he is as well as anv other chif diTen" ,Ie is now seven years old and the cure has lasted two months, so I think it. will never return.
