The pressure on Hie Salem school

about as great as. on a legislature for

great political prestige and wealth

board to make places and the life of

Is no soft snap now. The members
of the board are besieged at their
offices, waylaid on the (streets, horn

the privacy of their homes, ar.
proached In their hours of retirement,
Intercepted on their way to church

As Max Fracht has an otnee. it is
now to be hoped Geer may get sooe
thlng. The Salem public schools graduate
more boys in nroportion to the class
than any town In Oregon 21 to 32.
The gala standard papers of Oregon,
that tinder the lead of Senator Mitch
ell made voters belipve the McKInley
platform really favored bimetallism,
now refer to the international coin
uiislon as "moon-beam chasers."
Well, moonbeams are silvery.
The editor of the Statesman claims
to be a lineal descendant of a son of a
prophet. That's rough on the He
brews. Max Pracht has provided for with
some kind of a special agency of the
land deportment, and Dinger Her
mann sends him to Oregon. This
state always'gets the worst of It.
To talk right and live wrong is fool

while the other says they are tough.

OREAT PHYSICAL STRENGTH
is not necessary to the enjoyment of per
fect health, yet strong, healthy organs
and faculties give rise to the most de
lightful sensations of existence.
Esercisc. common sense and ordinary
precaution ana you neea never De very
sick. When vou find your stomach
troublesome, your bowels inactive, your
nerves sensitive look out I When your
weight is decreasing, when your energy
is waning, when exertion seems impossi
ble and sleep does not give rest look
out'
Serious illness has its beginning in
neglected little things. Even dread con
sumption comes on oy degrees, and may
begin with a very slight derangement.
Taken in time, 93 per cent, of all cases
of consumption can be cured. Taken in
time, no disease need be really serious.
The best safeguard against disease is an
active, healthy liver. That means good
blood and good blood means good solid
healthy flesh.
The germs of disease sek out the weak
spots in the body. Don't have any weak
IoU. If you have them now, clear them
out, tone them up, in&k them strong.
Dr. Fierce's Golden Medical Discovery
will do it. It searches ont all poisonous
matter and disease-germs of whatever
character. It regulates the action of the
organs of the whole body. It forces out
impure matter, makes tho blood rich and
puts new life into.every fiber. It makes
good, firm, healthy flesh doesn't make
fit. It gives you flesh that you can work
with the flesh that means health, but a
reasonable plumpness is essential to the
best bodily condition.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is pleasant to take and vou don't hz.vo
to take on ocean of it to get well clthxr.
