BODY-RESTORER
Food is the body-restorer.
In health, you want nothing
but food; and your baby wants
nothing but food. But, when
not quite well, you want to get
back to where food is enough.
One of the most delicate
foods, in the world, is Scott's
emulsion of cod-liver oil.
When usual food is a burden,
it feeds you enough to restore
your stomach; baby the same.
The body-builder is food;
the body-restorer is Scott's
emulsion of cod-liver oil.

traditional Bowbreness of the Lenten
season has not been sufficient to mar
the brilliancy of the numerous social
event. Feminine organiialiona re
calling the history of three centuries
have graced tbe hall and saloons of the
city and receptions to the Daughter of
the American Revolution, the Children
of the American Revolution, the
Woman's Relief Corps, the National
Council of Woman, the Woman Suffra
gist and finally the Amoekeag Veteran
of New Hainpshiie have keen tbe order of
the day. The latter is not, of course,
a feminine organixalion but a large
delegation of ladies accompanied th
d8oendent of the revolutionary wars
riors and the reception given them was
one of the most enjoyable of the week.
The dramatic performance and the
lecture ou Kin Lear, both for the
benefit of charitable institutions, came
off with great eclat and a consideiable
sum of money was raised tor the worthy
puriosei for which the affair were given.
One of the minor affair of tbe week
was the appearance before the judiciary
committee of the house of a delegation
headed by Mr Carrie Chapman Catt
and ber able conaooura of the Wouiau's
Suffrage convention. They presented
strong argument fur female suffrage
aud drew roseate picture of the purill
cation of political tn.-tuoda which would
follow the enfranchisement of them'
elves aud their sisters. On the follow
iug dv the Woman' Relief .Corp
attempted to elect a local president and
was obliged to take (our ballots the first
three thrown out because the number
ol vote exceeded the number of dele
gate. Some of tbe ungallant members
of the judiciary committee were iudulg
ing in many jokes at the good ladies'
expense yesterday and pointed to the
ballot box stuffing as I lie inevitable
result of female suffrage.
Saturday was celebrated as a holiday
in Washington by everyone but the in
ueiaugauie senators who held a session
to discuss the Philippine revenue bill
which will come to a vole at four o'clock
today and is now being debated under
the fifteen minute rule.
Some sensational sessions o! the
senate have been held during thi bill.
S.uator Palteison, although protesting
that he was not a Catholic, declared
that were the Filipinos Protest nt
Christiana, the American people never
would have submitted to th treatment
accotded to those islands. He further
declared that Ciovurnor Taft't state
ment were unreliable, biased and
slanderous to the Filipino character. Iu
an able speech Senator Spooner de
fended the governor aud denounced the
statement of Senator Patterson, The
speech of the senator of Wisconsin was
a brilliant effort and will be classed as
one of the finest argumonts this con
gress has thus far hoard. As soju as
the vote on the measure is taken this
alternoon, the senate will receive Prince
Henry aud tbe individual senators will
be presented to him. Among the
earlier events in the week was the pas
sage of the permanent census h"l, sent
up (run the bouse, and the ratification
of the treaty by which the Danish West
Indies become a possession of the United
States.
The bouse of representatives has been
occupied with the Indian affairs bill
which passed on Friday. There was a
large amount of routine business con
nected' with the bill which made its
passage a laborious and tedious affair,
During it consideration the proceedings
of the bouse were sadly lacking in
brilliancy. The real interest in the
bouse during the past week, however,
has not been centered in the procedure
ou the fl'jor of the chamber but in the
private room ol the ways and means
committee where the republican mem
ber have been wrestling with the ques
tion of reciprocity with Cuba. As the
result of a conference with the president
Mr. Payne, the chairman, has been won
over to the side of Cuba and even
General (irosvenor has weakened.
When I spoke to him on the subject
some lime ago, "Preposterous, prepos
terous," was all I could get him to say,
but when I asked him of the prospects
on Friday be said, "1 cannot talk. We
will have to do something, I suppose,
but I do not feel in a position to say
anything further on the subject." Mr.
Tawney, the republican "whip," whom
I saw after the conference on Friday,
said, "I have not weakened at all, 1
adhere to uiy original position that 1
will vole lor nothing that will in any
way injure an American industry and
that's all there is to it." Mr. Long, of
Kansas, brought consternation to the
opponents of concessions to Cuba by
declaring ia favor of a 40 per cent
reciprocal reduction. In stating his
reasons he declared that the sugar beet
production was not a natural industry
lor ttie American larmurs, that It gave
employment to women and childrto and
cheap labor generally, but was "too
picayunisb" a form of agriculture ever
lo appeal to the American conception
of the farming profession. That a bill
to some extant favorable to Cuban in
terest will be reported is, however, the
general belief of the members of the
boose.
Thursday marked the publication of
President Roosevelt's decision iu the
Schley case. There was nothing new in
tbe deductions of th president and
public opinion is as diverse at hereto
fore, although the president expresses
the hope that thi will settle the matter.
There is no possibility of tbe bouse of
representative doing anylhiug with the
resolution introduced io favor of
Admiral Schley but there la a bare
possibility that the senate may pass

the admiral for thi victory at Santiago,

Ctmptln Against Intoxicants.
Officials of the Burlington Railroad
have started a campaign against intox
icants, with a view to eradicating their
use by the employes of every depart
ment, not only on duty Wit also while
off duty. Oregonian.
one of the commissioners from Oregon,
told some interesting fact relative to
ruit raising in hi state, which showed
that this particular industry ia not only
carried on now with much profit but it
baa greater future possibilities which
will result in rich returns for the
producer.
tV'We bave soil and climate." said Mr
Slucura to a reporter for the News and
Courier yesterday, "for all kinds ol
fruits, with the exception of a few of the
tropical fruits. With us the apple is
king. This name, however, ran almost
equally be applied to our prunes, plums,
pears and .cherries, but only locally,
while our apple is a fruit that visits the
nooks and corners of the United States
Alaska and European countries. The
long distance of travel does not de
teriorate its flue flavor or solidity."
Mr. Slocum then took the reporter
through the exhibit, showing the largrel
and most beautiful plums ever grown
anywhere excepting ia the Northwest.
There was the greengage, the egg plum
a Very large and yellow variety; dark
rich blue and many others which bear
abundantly. There were Italian prunes
of enormous size, which are dried and
exported in trainloads yearly from
Oregon.
Mr. Slocum then showed Royal Anne
cherries, as large as good sized F.nglish
walnuts. "There is no special growth,'
remarked Mr, Slocem, "for exposition
purposes, but the usual and ordinary
production. The Oregon cherry ia fast
finding its way into distant markets in
candied form and dried lor various
uses." There were pears of large d i men
sion, and Mr. Slocom said that it is not
an utual thing to have these ripening
lato in lb fall and gathered in mill
winter.
"Oregon has many orchards in th
plateaus among the mountains, ont ol
tbe reach ol pests which infect the fruilt
in many placet. Here the horticulturists
receive large returnt for their time ami
labor, and the people are always
healthy. At a fruit country Oregon
cannot be excelled. Trees bear within
four year. There 1 saldorn a failure,
and even then what we call a failure

Fur a number of weeks pa-t there
havo been reports In circulation that
cougar had been heard screaming III Hi
nod neur Acme ) the Florence
West. On teveral nccai-ioiis resident
of that loan were aroused Iroiri alumbe
by the terrible sounds uttered by tl;
lerocious beast as it prowled in the dark
ness sesrihing for prey. The animal
even came up within a lew rods uf mine
of the dwellings and Irighteued the
people by its horrible cries.
Women became afraid to go out after
'lark ami kept a walchlul eye on thi
rhililren while at play in Ihe daytime.
Kven riime of the men grew timid an
would try to avoid passing any plai
that would afford shelter lo a hnkiii;
foe.
Hold hunters went out with dog and
guns in the hope ol finding ami killin
Ihe animal, but without success. Tli
only time Iho cougar was teen was by
party ol three or lour persons who were
unarmed. One of the men laid li
would go after his gun if th olher
would keep watch. I i sta'ted off, bu
on the way reinemliered that his wife
needed an armful of wood. It took
some timt get tins and when be re
turned Ihe cougar was gone.
Fortunately the mystery has been
Solved. The cougar ha no1 been killed,
hut the ears of the women and children
have vanished and Ihe men can now
breathe freely. One uf the citizen cl
Acme has a handsome peacock wliich
roosts on the hill near tho owner's resi
dence and the cries uttered at night by
this beautiful bird were mistaken for
the screams of a cougar and frightened
the people.

We hope to priut In the near future s
communication from Ashland respecting
prohibition as enforced In that city.
The W. C. T. U's over the land are
celebrating Neal Dow' birthday with
appropriate meetings. We give below
extracts from his biography written
by our National President Lillian M
N. Stevons. The lives of such men tbow
ut what one man may do lor Temper
ance.
Ncal Dow.
Neal Dow was born in Portland,
Maine, March 20, 1H04. When ho was
sixtsen years of age be Bnlshta Ills
education 10 lar as school or college
was concerned, having taken a course
at the Friendt Academy, New Bed
ford, and the Portland Academy, lie
desired to go to college but hit parents
were opposed ; neither was he allowed
to study law, as he wished.
During his connection, In tarly man
hood, with the volunteer fire company
of Portland, bit influence wat constantly
txerted to miike sentiment for the ex
clusion of liquort from the tngine house
and to prevent their use on publi
occasions. In tins endeavor ha was
successful In a remarkable degree.
Then, as In his later lilt, he was biave
and ready-wilted.
At one of the banquets, In those days
tied "spreads," when he was chiel
engineer, the loaslmaatsr, whose View
wer very dillurent Irom those of Mr.
Dow's on the leinjierance question, offer
ed a toast to be drunk in cold water,
for want, be said of anything more ap
propriate and acceptable to him who la
to resiiond to it. The toastmastur held
ui his glass of water and turning to
Neal Dow, said : Mr. Chief, I ask you
to resioud to this toast, Brandy and
Water watur for the fire and brandy
for the firemen." Neal Dow responded
in a bright way, and In closing offered
this toast, "Brandy and Water water
ex'.iiiguishe fire, and brandy ex
linguistics firemen!"
It is well known bow, In 1851, the
Maine prohibitory law was enacted
laruely through the influence of Nea
Dow.
Neal Dow and Mis Willard met for
the first time in the summer of 1874
at a temperance camp meeting at Old
Orchard, Maine, where they were the
principal speakers, From that time 00
they were staunch and sympathetic
friends.
Francis L'. Willard wrote: "Uenera
Neal Dow hat lived a life that requiits
no apology. He ha been alway
a man thoroughly loyal to womanhood
and the home. A dauntless soldier In
the forefront of that great battle for lib
erty which involve tbe emancipation of
woman, and the downfall of the liquor
traffic.
Neal Dow continued hi active life and
i speechmaking until about a year
before he passed on to the Better Land,
Oct. 2, 1807. He was alway a student,
and In hi study he Included the Bible,
reading portions of it each day of hi
life. Hit Interest In temperance never
wantd. Ill last message to the white
ribboners, given a few day before hit
plrlt left thi world, was message of
confidence In th righteousness of onr
cause and in the belief that victory will
surely come.
May we all go forward aiming to op-
hold aad advance the great principle of
prohibition for which he 10 steadfastly,
to unflinchingly ttood.

Sevn J oeo ScaJe,
Th Ban Jot scale increased rapidly
in tbe vicinity of Vancouver, Wash.,
last rear and almost every Iruit grower
finds It necessary to spray bis trees for
this pest. It Is tbe impression of a good
many of tnt Northwestern fruit grower
that it I no longer necessary to spray
against ths Han lose scale in Calilornia,
owing to the prevalence of parasites.
It is doubtless true that the scale is now
kept in check to a great extent io that
state and to some extent in Oregon by
parasites, but it appears to be necessary
even yet to fight the San Jose scale
extensively by spraying in California.
Lime, sulphur, and salt are advertised
