PERFECTION
THE THREE
TWINS HERE
CHRISTMAS
"Three Twins'' Is a welcome visi
tor, season after season, because It Is
a sweet,- pure funny play that will
amuse all ages and classes of theatre
goers. With a plot that would sound
ordinary In the telling. It holds the
a tt en ton of everyone until the finish,
and, when least expected, the risibili
ties of every one Is tickled by some
unexpected situation or flash of wit.
It never tires because it Is a natural,
and yet the quaintest thing thnt was
ever put on the stage. Critics have
tried to analyze the play and have
failed because It Is simply what the
public want now-a-days, a light en
tertainment that amuses you when
you see It, and gives you many a hear
ty laugh after you have gone home
This year the management have out
done all their previous efforts in the
way of mounting the play, both In the
way of scenery and electrical effects,
and the costumes are the most gor
geous that have ever been prepared
for a theatrical production. With
the same big chorus of beaueous girls
and with a cast of established favor
ites the season of this successful
play has been one series of turp-away
houses, and the same will surely oc
cur here on Monday, December 25.
Matinee and evening.
CHEAPER ELECTRIC
LIGHT FOR THE HOME
The Portland Railway Light and
Power Co. announces a reduction in
the price of the 40 watt Mazda lamps.
This means a cheaper electric light
for the home as 95 per cent of the
t t
Mazda lamps used In residences are!
of the 40 watt aize.
Many people ask themselves and
others this question, "Is It cheaper to
buy and use Mazda lamps than It Is
to use the old carbon filament lamps,
when the fact that the lighting com
pany renews the latter 're ot charge
is taken Into consideration?"
For the benefit of our readers who
have not had the question answered
satisfactorily, we wish to submit the
following figures:
A Mazda lamp will burn for 800
hours as a rule, before It gets black
ened or burns out. Some burn out
before the 800 hour point Is reached
but many burn a great deal longer.
Since a 40 watt lamp consumes 40
watthours in one hour. In 800 hours
it will consume 800 times 40 watt
hours, or 32,000 watthours, which is
equal to 32 kllowatthours, (K. W. H.)
As the average rate for current Is
10 cents per K. W. H., the cost of
current consumed by a 40 watt lamp
In 800 hours is 32 K. W. H. times 10
cents, equals $3.20. To this S3. 20 we
must add the cost of the lamp, which
is now 65c, making a total cost ' ot
$3.85 for 800 hours use of the Mazda
lamp.
Now to compare this cost with the
cost of current consumed by a car
bon filament lamp or lamps giving
the same amount of light. Since a
40 watt Mazda lamp gives 32 candle
power of light, we would have to
use two 16 c. p. or one 32 c. p. car
bon lamp to get th same amount. of
light. One 16 c. p. carbon lamp con
sumes 50 watt hours in one hour,
therefore two of them would con
sume two times 50 watthours or 100
watthours and in 800 hours they
would consume 800 times 100 watt
hours or 80,000 watthours or 80 K.
W. H., which at 10 cents per K. W.
H. costs $8.00.
Since the carbon lamps are re
newed free, this cost of $8.00 is the
total cost for 800 hours' use of two
carbon filament lamps giving the
same amount of HgK that Is given by
one 40 watt Mazda 'amp.

The Wise Wife
Is the woman who adilses
her husband to choose his
lanndrjDian with care
even as great rare as he
glTes his choice of a haber
dasher. The one thing more
than all others that has a
tendency to make lunndrles
unpopular In the mind of
the public, g the fact that
It has been necessary to
nse an artificial bleach on
white goods, generally a
lime bleach which was
more or less destructive In
Its tendencies. The Salem
Steam Laundry is using a
natural bleach nn Oxygen
bleach that does the work
just like the rays of the sun.
It Is absolutely harmless to
any goods that are handled
in - a laundry, and while Its .
cost is six times tfat of the
old and sometimes harmful
lime bleach, It Is now nsed
in the Salem Steam Laun
dry plant to the exclusion
of nil other methods of
blenching.
The best of everything;
materials, machinery, meth
ods, is used by the

Faint?
Have you weak heart, dizzy feelings, opprested
breathing alter meals? Or do you experience pain .
over the heart, shortness of breath on going up-stoirj
and the many distressing symptoms which indicate
poor circulation and bad blood P A heart tonio,
blood and body-builder that has stood the test of
over 40 years of cures is
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
The heart becomes regular as clock-work. Tha red
. blood corpuscles are increased in number and the
nerves in turn are well fed. The arteries are filled
with good rich blood. That is why nervous debility,
irritability, fainting spells, disappear and are over
come by this alterative extract ot medicinal roots
put tip by Dr. Pierce without the use of alcohol.
Ask your neighbor. Many have been cured of
scrofulous conditions, ulcers, "fever-sores," white swellings, etc, by taking
Dr. Pierce's Discovery. Just the refreshing and vitalizrj tonio needed for
excessive tissue waste, in convalescence from fevers or for run-down, anemic,
thin-blooded people. Stick to this safe and sane remedy and refuse all " just
as good " kinds offered by the dealer who is looking for a larger profit. Noth
ing will do you half as much good as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
