A Famous Physician's Wonderful Discovery After a series of careful experiments and tests at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N.

English Beer Output Cut; Oregon Hop Market Affected Portland The export demand for hops is not going to be as much of a factor in the coming season as in past years, unless the war is brought to a close, as production of beer in England is to be limited. ' Word has been received from Lon don that arrangements have been made between the British government and the Brewers' society to reduce the beer output from April 1, 1916, by 28 per cent of the output of the year ended September 30, 1914. The aim of this restriction is to reduce the im portation of brewing materials by 33 1-3 per cent, though no direct steps will be taken to restrict the importa tion of materials. At the moment there is a very good market at all points on the Coast, and prices are, if anyhting, steadier than last week. The Furnish crop of 195 bales at Reedville was bought by Ralph E. Williams at 101 cents. Offers as high as Hi cents were made for good Ore gons in other sections. The Chamberlain lot of 126 bales at Chehalis was purchased by Harry L. Hart at 101 cents. Another important Western Washington deal was the sale of 360 bales of the Klaber crop at Che halis at 11 cents. In Yakima orders at 11 cents are going unfilled. Only five crops remain unsold in the Yakima section. In Sonoma, where unsold stocks are reduced to 3000 bales, bids are out at 11 and 12 cents. The sale by Mrs. Duncan of 115 bales of Sonomas at 11 cents is reported. Hofer & Johnson sold 99 bales of Mendocinos, but the price was not wired. Marks bought the Gerbeit crop of 263 bales of Sacra- mentos at 9J cents. New Fruit Plan la Adopted. Wenatchee, Wash. It is probable that the majority of the large tonnage expected from the up-river country this season will be packed out through community or central packing sheds. The system of co-operative packing which has proven a success in Califor nia and Oregon has received a strong impetus in Okanogan county and the large centers. Irs Cleveland, of the Growers' league, expert on central packing, has returned from a two weeks' campaign through the up-river country. Growers like the new system. Sheep Weather Storm. Pendleton, 'Or. Despite the extreme cold weather which has accompanied the storm here the past few days. there have been no losses reported from Umatilla county sheepmen. Sev eral of the stockmen heeded the timely warning sent out and postponed shear ing until warmer weather. Dan Smythe, prominent Arlington sheepman, who has just finished shear ing, said there was no severe Btorm at Arlington and his shep are safe. Warmer weather is predicted the last of the week.

MX XI Discovered I The kindly old squire was giving a little treat to the village school chil dren. After tea he stepped on to the platform and announced, with a beam ing smile: "Now I am going to perform certain actions and you must guess what pro verb they represent. The boy or girl who succeeds first will receive a quarter." That did it Instantly every eye was fixed on him. First of all, the old man lay down on the platform. Then one man came forward and tried in vain to lift him. Two others came to his aid, and be tween them they raised the squire, who was rather portly. The actions were meant to represent the motto union is strength. When they had finished, the squire stepped forward and asked if any child had solved the puzzle. At once a grubby hand shot up and an eager voice squeaked: "Let sleeping dogs lie." American Boy. "A Better Barrel of Flour Cheaper" WILSON GIVES TO CORRESPONDENTS HIS ATTITUDE TOWARD EUROPEANS Washington, D. C President Wil son Wednesday night made public a frank and intmiate review of his three years in the White House and his im pressions of foreign and domestic problems, delivered confidentially be fore Washington correspondents gath ered at the National Press club. He spoke of the difficulties of the Presi dency and particularly of the motives which have guided his handling of the European situation. "America," the President said, "is for peace because she loves and be lieves the present war has carried the nations engaged so far that they can not be held to ordinary standards of responsibility."

THANK YOUR GROCER How to Heal Itching, Burning Skin Diseases A Baltimore doctor suggests this simple, but reliable and inexpensive, home treatment for people suffering with eczema, ringworm, rashes and similar Itching, burning skin troubles. At any reliable druggist's get a jar of resinol ointment and a cake of res inol soap. These are not at all expen sive. With the resinol soap and warm water bathe the affected parts thor oughly, until they are free from crusts and the skin is softened. Dry very gently, spread on a thin layer of the resinol ointment,- and cover with a light bandage if necessary to protect the clothing. This should be done twice a day. Usually the distressing itching and burning stop with the first treatment, and the skin soon becomes clear and healthy again. Adv, Thoughtful.
