TUB CHIUHTMAS SPIRIT.
'
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!

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.

Eczema Began When a Tiny Baby

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.

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
