The original and only genuine Com
pound Oxygen Treatment, that of Drs.
Starkey & Palen, is a scientific adjustment
of the elements of Oxygen and Nitrogen
sdgnetized; and the compound is so con-
densed and made portable that it is sent
oil over the country.
II has been in use for more than twenty
years; thousands of patients have been
treated, and over one thousand physicians
have used it, and recommend it-a very
significant fact.
The great success of our Treatment has
given rise to host Of iinitators, unscrupu-
lous persons; some calling their prepara-
tons Compound Oxygen, often appropria-
ting our testimonials and the names of our
patients, to recommend worthless concoc-
tons. But any substance made elsewhere
or by others, and called Compound Oxy-
gen, is spurious. -

An Orthodox jewish Custom.

Chicago contains between fifteen thou
sand and twenty thousand Hebrews who
cling to the custom requiring all meat
for eating to be marked with n lead
seal, vouching for its cleanliness The
trouble which has broken ont among
the orthodox: Hebrews in New York
city, says the Chicago News, is owing
to this custom. A prominent rabbi in
that city whose duty it was TO distribute
the seals is charged with having dis
posed of them in such way us to make
it profitable to himself. A prominent
Hebrew of this city, speaking of the
matter yesterday, said "That custom
is II relic of the dark ages which exists
now only among Russian Jews of the
most orthodox kind. Within the last
few years there has been great influx
of these people into Chicago. They are
to be found mostly about Canal and
lIalsted streets. They have private
slaughter pens of their own, and per-
sons are appointed to do the killing
who have undergone special examine
ton for the purpose. Some rabbi gem
orally issues the seals to the examiners,
the meat being sent to some particular
butcher shop. The seal is small piece
of lead about an inch long on which is
stamped the Hebrew letter for IL, sig
nifying kosher, which means clean"

OLYMPIA, March S-fepecial. 1.-The clos
ing day of the session was marked by the
dispatch OF an immense amount Of bust.
ness, and by disorderly and noisy con.
duct of affairs that sofely taxed the
patience of President Wilson and
Speaker Shaw. The latter beat an
almost continuous tattoo with his
gavcl to attract the orderly attention OF
members, and once. went so far as to
threaten to adjourn the House If more at
tention were not paid to business. In the
Senate the president many times admon-
ished the senators that they were not COM
plying strictly to the popular notion Of
senatorial, propriety and dignity. but his
warnings had little effect.
There were many signs of approaching
dissolution during the whole day. At the
evening recess the members began to pack
up their books, bill files, stationery, and
such other things as they had with them,
and to carry them away to their rooms to
be taken home. The enrolling forces OF
both Houses were supplemented by re-
cruits from the committee clerks, and the
enrolling rooms presented scene Just as
busy as the House.

library room, examining bills and signing
and returning many Of them to
both houses. Many visitors filled the
lobbies and watched the proceedings with
interest, but about 10 o clock they began to
thin out. The clock in the House was
turned back an hour, while the Senate
clock was stopped altogether. As the
evening progressed the clerks had less
trouble in making themselves heard, and
the speakers gavel got something Of q
rest.
At II o'clock the Senate discontinued
serious business. and waited for the House
to complete its work. The senators occu-
pied the time in singing, joking, making
speeches and having general good
time. The House, however, stub
bornly staid with business until 1:3O.
stopping the clock before its
hands reached IL. fThe last bill passed
was to submit an amendment to the con-
stitution, to accompany Yancy's concur
rent resolution to submit q constitutional
amendment changing the Indebtedness
limit. Then the introduction Of the usual
resolutions of thanks began, and after
they were passed number Of humorous
resolutions and bills were introduced.
At $50 both houses adjourned.
