JOTIIISFIRSMOU!
. You know, and every physician
knows, that when any-sickness has
passed, whether it be 'throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis
eases, or even a severe cold, a relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system of Nature's resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up a worn-out
body only food can do that, and the
Arst thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated, blood-making oil
food in Scott's Emiilsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat.
Physicians prescribe Scott's Emul
sionaftersickness. Nurseseverywhere
advocate it. Scott's is pure medicinal
food, without alcohol or drugs.

.New' Switch 'Board for
Lighting Opera House
The trustees of the Odd Fellows'
building have been instructed to secure
a new switch board for the entire light
ing system of the opera house, to take
the place of the present wood and as
bestos switch board which was install
ed when the building was erected in
1000.
The new switch board will be four
feet wide nnd five feet high, on slate
ono nnd one-half inches thick, supported
on nn nnglc iron frame. It will be
equipped with the latest manufacture
of switches to tnko care of the 48
branch circuits. These 48 switches will
give that number of combinations of
light.
The stage lighting includes five bord
er lights. These are on fivo different
circuits with colors of white, red or
blue nnd will be controlled by a master
switch by which all eaa be turned off
or on at one tune.
Tho wiring of the opera house will be
entirely overhauled. All wires will bo
placed in metal conlluits, ns approved
by the National Board of Fire Under
writers. Architect F. A. Legg has been
instructed to draw up plans and spicifi
cations for the new system, which will
be installed early in January.

Chicago Firm Would Take
50 Carloads of Onions
Can money be made raising onionB?
The nverngo farmer would probnbly say
yes, and then put in a clincher against
raising them by saying there was no
market.
Manager O. H. Luck, of the Commer
cial club, in taking up the proposition
of markets, wrote one of the largest
commission houses in Chicago, Coyne
Bros., 119 West South Water street, as
to whether they wero in tho market for
onions. By return mail a reply was re
ceived stating the firm was in the mar
ket for from 25 to 50 car loads of Wil
lamotte valley onions, and that each
community having a supply should mail
samples.
This is a chance for quick action on
the part of communities having several
car loads to ship. The Coyne Bros, is a
responsible firm, and will buy in lnrge
quantities but do not want any ono or
two car shipments. This seems to set
tic the question of mnrkets, ns far ns
the raising of onions is concerned.

ADVICEJN FICTION
Simple Experiment May Lead
. Them to Tap the Wrong
Wire Ouch Dead
Youthful electricians are warned not
to follow diagrams given in stories in
popular magazines relative to electrical
experiments as they ore likely to seize
the wrong wire sometime and then
some slow music that Willie won't hear.
A story Appeared last week in n maga
zine of national circulation which told
how wires might be tapped and mes
sages sent out in the Morse code over
electric light wires. Diagrams wore
given and any youthful electrician
might be tempted to try it once any
way. Since the amateur is as likely to
to get hold of a wire carrying 20,000
volts ns he is to tap an incandescent
circuit of 110 volts tho Public Service
commission engineers have issued a
statement relative to the case:
The article entitled "The Third
Light", purports to convey certain in
formation based upon prncticnl elec
trical standards and practices. In
this, however, it is in error, ns there
appears a drawing of equipment uud
circuit arrangement which is mislead
ing nnd not in conformity to the
thought expressed by the writer of the
article.
The dnngers surrounding an experi
ment of this kind by the amateur elec
trician are many.
The general regulations governing
overhead and underground construction
of the Public Service commission of
Oregon, Section 14, require the ground
ing of all neutral wires of low poten
tial secondary) distributing systems,
and, where the neutral is not accessible,
the grounding of one wire of the sec
ondary or commercial lighting or power
circuit. These regulations became ef
fective October 1; 1913, and previous
to that dote a great many installations
of transformers with secondary (110-
220 nnd other voltages) lighting and
power circuits had been installed with
out ground connections. Therein lies
the real danger to the youthful experi
menter, for, should nnd ungrounded
transformer secondary or house light
ing wire be used to make the Third
Light" experiment, and the transform
er be faulty or leaky, the person mak
ing the experiment might receive the
full 21100 volt current, the result of
which would be tho maiming for life if
not the instant death of tho experi
menter. '
Wiring conditions in Oregon are such
that the experiment would -tnil' unless
it were made in some locality where
the transformer secondaries or low po
tential distributing wires are not
grounded.
The principle involved in the "Third
Light" experiment while it appears in
tricate, is very simple, nnd iB nothing
more than the substitutinc of a ground
connection for the middle conductor of
a circuit of two lights in sorics. It iB
therefore obvious that Biich nn oxjieri
nient can be made with batteries and
small electric lights, such as aro found
in "flash lights" and without t'ne in
herent dangers surrounding experi
menting with the honso lighting wires,
whether they aro properly grounded or
not.
Exiierinientino with commercial or
residence lighting wires is not condu
cive to the success of the "Safely
First" movement, and it is strongly
recommended that such experiments be
left to the advanced students or profes-j
sor and be not nttempted by the ama
teur.

It is no longer necessary for any one
to suffer without effort to euro with
headachy, all run-down feeling that is
often the result of kidney trouble,
It is no longer necessary for you to
contend without treatment with . dis
agreeable bladder and urinary disorders
or he tortured with rheumatism, stiff
or swollen joints or the heart-wrenching
miseries that follow ns n result of ne
glected or poorly working kidneys.
Solvnx is designed to quickly and sure

Solvux is a wonderful discovery that
has always been so widely successful
that every package is sold under a posi
tive guarantee to refund the money if
it docs not relieve the worst case of
kidney disorder.
"Your money buck if you nniit.it,"
is the way all the best druggists are
soiling this great, kidney remedy. A
guarantee like that speaks eloquently
for the merit of Solvnx.
Do not suffer another minute until
you see if Solvux will not relieve you.
If it doesn't, tell the druggist that that
you want your money buck, and he will

Tho stato rights for the pieturo aro

In addition to its week 's run at tho
