THE DATLY CAPTTAT, JOTTWAL. SALEM. ORKOON. FRIDAY, JAN. 7, 1916, THREE A New Remedy for Kidney, Bidder & all Uric Acid Troubles Dear Reader: I appeal to those of you who arc bothered with kidney and bladder trou- ble, that you give up the use of harsh salts or alcoholic medicines and in their . place take a short treatment of "An ' uric." I have taken many of Dr. Pierce's medicines for the past twenty- five years with good results. I suffered with kidney trouble for some years. I recently heard of the newest discovery of Dr. Pierce, namely, his "Anuric" Tablets. After using same I am com pletely cured of my kidney trouble. A doctor pronounced mo a well pre served woman for my age, all due, 1 be lieve, to Dr. Pierce's medical aid. Mrs. Melinda E. "Miller. Xote; Dr. Eberlo and Dr. Braith waite as well as Dr. Simon all distin guished medical authorities agree that whatever may be the disease, the urine seldom fails in furnishing ub with a clue to the principles upon which it is "SALEM'S BEST MARKET PLACE" SPECIALS FOR SATURDAY Big Sunkist Oranges . ..40c Dozen Smaller ones 20c and 30c Dozen Creamery Butter 30c Pound Parlor Matches 3 boxes 10c Cream Rolled Oats 5c Pound Onions Yellow Danvers 14 lbs. 25c Toilet Paper 6 Rolls 25c Coal Oil, bring your can 5 gals. 65c WESTACOTT-THIELSON CO.

Believing that no medicine ought to be paid for unless it does tho user some good they have adopted tho plan of selling Solvax, the standard kidney remedy, under a positive guar antee of quick relief from all kidney or bladder misery, or money back without a question. This speaks eloquently for the virtues of the remedy and already has created a wide-spread demand for it here in Salem. Hundreds of peoplo in every walk of life have been re- lieved of tho agonies attendant on, weak, disarranged or clogged-up kid neys and bladder by this remarkabloj remedy. It is not just merely a kidney j treatment, it is a medicine that aims to, put the entire, pninracked body into normal condition-and , give, vigorous, health after the many painful disorders caused directly or indirectly by sick I kidneys. A change for tho belter Willi bo seen after tho first few doses of Solvnx anil its continued use should tone up the entire system of improp-l erly working organs and givo the de- sire to live and enjoy life to its full- j est. Solvax is considered by many the best kidney remedy on the market to day because it aims to cure by striking directly at the cause of all the trouble. Tho many pains and aches caused by improperly working kidneys cannot bo permanently cured unless the cause is removed. Solvax is sold under a positive guar antee to refund the money if it does not curb. This is the strongest proof that can be ottered as to the nicnit of the medicine. You are cheating your self out of your slice of life if you do not give Solvax a chance. Oct it today from Daniel J. Pry or any leading druggist in this vicinity.

Buchtel Lists Specifi cations for Weighing Apparatus - To prevent Oregon from becoming the dumping ground for iufcrior weighing apparatus, protect the public against inaccurate measures, and enable the merchants to procure properly con structed equipment, Deputy State Scaler Fred C. Buchtel has promulgated specifications for the state which puts Oregon on an equality with the most progressive weights and measures states in the union, they became operative January 6. This result is accomplished without unwarranted expense to the business public by making only those specifica tions retroactive which apply to equip ment in use, or held for sule where the public's welfare absolutely demands it. "This method of placing the specifi cations iu effect will prevent the con demnation at this time of such apparat us as is reasonably satisfactory, nnd yet will eliminate immediately inac curate and improperly constructed equipment, the use of which would be detrimental to tho public's interest," said Deputy State Seuler Buchtel in an nouncing the specifications. "In time through this method all the equipment in use will conform to tho specifica tions as a whole, and the process of elimination will have been gradual. Equipment to be hereafter manufacturl ed in the state, or hrnnri, iJ ii ed in the state, or brought into it. must comply with all the specifications." "Probably the most important to the people generally are (he specifications that govern the manufacture and use of commuting scales. Computing scales must be correct both in weight nnd value indications, and the charts must not repeat the same value in any given column or row. These specifications will eliminate a considerable number of computing scales that give the user his choice of two or three values for the samo weight. As such equipment is detrimental to the puolic welfare, these particular specifications have been made retroactive. In common with oth er scales the computing type must ulso bo so constructed thut their zero ad justment cannot bo changed without the U8o of a tool. "With tho view of protecting tlio merchant against scales of inferior quality and construction, numerous specifications have been prescribed Possibly the most important is the one providing that "all wales shall be' of such construction that they are reas onably permnnent in their adjustment and will repent their weight indica tions correctly, nnd are not designed to or, may not be used to facilitate the perpetration of fraud." This sounds! tlio death knell of tho family scale for commercial purposes. For platforms, counter-platforms, counter balances suspension and spring scales, there are separate specifications, those having been treated in classes by themselves " m :i W ' f?r KqW Ity shall to !n ; i ll l!," - in,li,i,i .

GET IT FIRST HOT LAST When a cold grips your system it is convincing proofthat your condition is weakened remember that. It is risky indeed to simply trust yourstrength to throw it off, because neglected colds have brought more serious sickness than any other one thing, while weak eningcatharticsandstimulatingsyrups are often depressing and dangerous. The one best treatment for any cold the one so often relied on when others fall, isthe powerful blood-nourishment in Scott's Emulsion, which feeds the very sources of bodily strength to sup press the present cold and generate strength to thwart further sickness. Get Scott's first, not last and insist on the genuine always free from al cohol and injurious drugs.

M. Elliott. With the Christmas spirit in the air the parents seem'to havo taken a more lively interest in the schools as the re port shows that 381 parents visited the school compared to 188 visits for tho month of November. If the boys in the city could manage to bring in a few of their friends ami enroll them, the attendance of boys and girls would be evenly divided. In years past, the girls were always in a great majority, especially in the upper grades. Now that parents renlize lhat a boy must have at least the founda tion of a fair education, in business as well as any profession, tho hoys are staying in school. Between the ages of 12 and 14, tho report siiows an en rollment of 270 boys and 208 girls. In the highest grades, ages between 14 and 20, the boys enroll 488 and the girls 509. There are no scholars under tho age of six years,, and just 29 ovor the age of 20. Of the 29 over the age of 20, the boys number 20, and the girls 0. During November, 1800 pupils were neither late nor aabsent, but with the excitement of the holiday season on, it was just a little more difficult to ar rive on time, and the record of those who were perfect in their atteudunco dropped to 1011. Governor Withycombe Travels 20,333 Miles In First Year In Office Governor Withycombe 's first year in office is ended January 11, and an ex amination of his engagement book for 1915 discloses the fact that he has cov ered 20,333 miles, or tibout 54 miles per day. The railroad mileage for the year to tals 17,287, and all of this, with the exception of approximately 2,500 miles involved in trips to Hun Francisco nnd Henttle, has been within the boundaries of Oregon. By boat he has covered (is; miles, this being exclusively on the Col umbia nnd Snake .rivers. Automobiles are credited with 1,285 miles; while he estimates that since the purchase of his pure bred American saddle mare, "I.oretta," in April, he has traveled on her approximately 1,080 miles, this being reckoned on an average bnsis of 30 miles per week. Of course as matters stand much of the cost of the transportation utilized by the governor comes out of his own pocket, for his office has available an appropriation of only $."j00 a year for traveling expenses. The result is that any executive who really gets around the stnto has to foot the excess bill himself. Tho 1915 trips have included two journeys to fSnii Francisco, one ns a "privato citizen" for the Benson day exercises, and one in un official ca pacity; a voyage from I.ewiston, Idaho, to tho sea, when the Celilo canal was opened; an nutomobile journey through centrnl Oregon and back to Medford, via Crater lake; a journey to Baker to welcomo tho Liberty bell; a scoro of meetings with governors and other no table travelers en routo to the San Francisco exposition; trips over the Col umbia river highway from Portlnnd to Tho Dalles, and from Portland to As toria; and Bcores of other engage ments ranging from county fairs to of ficial and semi-official meetings of ev ery character.
