TO LIVE N
How to Pr0lOn4 Life After Middle Age
Views of an Eminent London Physician,
Whose specially Is Diseases Of the
Aged.

John Gardner, M. D., is a London Ply
sician who makes a specially of the treat
ment of diseases of elderly persons. In a
recent book upon this subject, DIR. Card
ner says:
"A healthy and vigorous state of every
part and every organ is essential to the
health and well being of the whole system
TO grow old gracefully is not the COM
mon lot Of all. With advancing years
come increased infirmities they are by no
means inevitable, and their presence is due
to the failure to keep up to their work the
various organs of the body. The study Of
the body by scientists furnishes unques-
tionable evidence that the duration of
human life may be prolonged to a hundred
years."
Why, then, do SO few live to that age;
and why after middle life-and often be-
fore-is there SO much suffering from ner-
vousness, rheumatism, feebleness, lack of
appetite, sleeplessness, and debility? Be-
cause long life or overwork has weakened
the nervous SYSTEM Rev. r. Williston,
the famous author of "Christ's Milleniai
Reign" when eighty four years old, suf-
fered with indigestion and rheumatic af-
%fections. His attention was called FORUM
ately to Paine's Celery Compound. A free
use of that great medicine for the nerves
cured him, and made agreat improvement
in his general health.
This grand discovery is an ~unequaled
medicine for the aged. 1t produces life
and energy and is a marvellous preserver
OF the fire and vigor of youth. There is
nothing like it forstrengthening the nerves,

oREGoN PRESS ASSOCIATION

Fifth Annual Session to be Held at As
toria, Oregon, August IS, 20, and 80.
The fifth annual meeting of the Ore
gon press association is to be held at
Astoria and at Clatsop Beach, the %,
20, and 30th of this month. The ar
rangements already perfected promise
most pleasant and profitable session.
During the session of the Oregon press
association, several hours will be spent
at that delightful seaside resort, Gear
heart park, and the manager of Gear
heart hotel will not only entertain but
also cater to the wants of the inner man,
during the stay of the association at the
seaside.
Mr.. Amos Strong, formerly of Salem,
is now in charge of the Gearheart Park
hotel on Clatsop beach, and is preparing
to welcom right royalty the visit of the
Oregon editors August 80.
The editors and their friends, who at
tend the meeting of the Oregon press as
sociation at Astoria, will find some of
the most pleasant features of the session
to be the visit and entertainment at
Gearhart Park, the elegant appointment
OF the hotel. The Incompatible sea
bathing, and the refreshing GOODNESS of
the park.
A visit to the government jetty at the
mouth of the Columbia ride on the
newly built Astoria & South Coast rail-
road, dinner at the Gearhart Park hotel
and dip in the bosom of mother Pacific,
etc., are among the attractions at the
meeting of the Oregon press association,
at Astoria. CLAIMS, crabs, salmon, and
other brain food, at the seashore, can
not fail to have a beneficial effect on the
Oregon editors and their wives.
When CONTEMPLATED Improvements at
Gearhart Park, on Clatsop beach, are
completed, Oregon will have summer
resort equal in magnifcence and health
fulness to the famous resort at Monterey,
California, and all Oregonians should
feel pride in encouraging such an en-
terprise as has been inaugurated by Mr.,
NJ. J. Kinney.
| The Chautauqua assembly room at
Gearhart Park, on Clatsop beach, will
seat 1000 people, and is grand memorial
of the public spirit of M. J. Kinney, who
deeds it to the cause of that popular
method of education.

a CoA1MENDABLE ATTEMPT.
Major Foote, an Old Soldier, Trying to
Make New Pension Law.

Major FOOte, an Old Soldier, Trying to
Make New Pension Law.
A very commendable attempt is being
made by Major Allen Foote, wounded
soldier of the late war who was in active
service from Bull Run to Appomattox,
to stop the growing extravaganza of pen
sion appropriations. Major Foote is
organizing his movement by personal
visitation and correspondence and is re-
ceiving assurances of sympathy and sup
port from all parts of the country. He
proposes to form society upon his idea
and prepare to influence legislation.
The major believes that 100000 veter-
ans who fought for the Union from 1851
to 1865 will go before the next congress
be stopped and that in future deserving
men alone be granted pensions. The
major advocates the establishment of a
pension system whose leading principle
will be to grant pensions only to those
who cannot make their own living. It
is proposed to make the principle of the
dependent pension bill the sole rule and
refuse pensions for disability that does
not impose dependence. The plan of
Major Foote is to have the movement
for reform in pension legislation come
from the old soldiers themselves and he
hopes to persuade large number of pen
sioners, wnolare not dependent, to volun-
teer to give up their pensions and petit
tion congress to amend the law SO that
pensions will be paid only to comrades
who really need them. Major Foote
may not be able to carry out the plans
he has laid out but he will have the
sympathy and onght to have the sup
port of every right thinking man both
| inside the G.. A. R. and outside.

A Good Fish story.

Salem Statesman:
The city editor of the Seattle Post-In-
telligencer claims to have caught 1900
trout in one week. The mind stands
appalled, at what the story would have
been, had it been the managing editor
Tacoma Ledger. Now the city editor of
the Seattle Post -IatelLiqencer, Will n.
Parry, is well known in Salem and Ore
gon. He used to work on the STATE snie7.
This Office will vouch for his truthful
ness and veracity. If he says he caught
1900 trout, of course he caught them. Or
at least if he preyaricates now he has
learned the habit over in Washington,
where the habit seems to be sort of in
fectious.

Cured last evening about s o'clock on
Second street. F. M. Tull was speed
ing his trotter, Sleepy Bob, and on
Second street he caught up with Kid

got away at 80 gait, and near Stew
ems street, Mr.. Tul1's carriage collided
with that of a gentleman driving west
OH the street. Mrs. Tull was with her

bruised, but not fally injured. Mr.. Tull
succeeded in stopping his horse in about

and there was sufficient room for both
racers to pass him.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

The last issue of the Wasco News says
asThe construction of railroad through
Sherman county or into the interior of
it, is matter that our people should
not let rest until the question is finally
settled and we have a road into the
county. just now the Portland chamber
of commerce has two propositions on its
hands, either of which, if accepted
would result beneficially for Sherman
county.
If The Dalles portage projectors con-
struct their road into Sherman county
up Spanish Hollow, or bring their influ-
ence to bear to get road into the county
1t matters not who builds 1.-THE
Dalles road is the one we want. The
silly twaddelthat < the Spanish
Hollow route is an impracticable one, lie
rot of the rankest sort. Any man who
has ever been over a railroad through a
rolling or mountainous country and has
ever been up Spanish Hollow, knows
that no doubt exists as to its practicable
ity.
Sherman county is ready to join hands
with The Dalles in securing the construc-
ton of this line, providing the matter
does not end in all talk and on paper.
Sherman county wants railroad and if
there is u shadow of chance we will
have it this fall, and if not this fall by
this time next year at the fartherest. II
The Dalles people will put their shoulder
to the wheel, Sherman will endeavor to
get in push occasionally and help the
enterprise along. We have started in to
get railroad and if The Dalles wants
the wheat trade of this county she must
help us get it.
This railroad question is one that
should interest every one in the county
it is question for which chickering's and
strife should he laid aside. Sherman
county needs more development, and We
cannot afford to let petty differences
come between us and this one great OBJ
ject. There is a large area of country in
the southern part of the county thai
stands only in need of a railroad to- helI
it on to development. The farmers II
that section cannot afford to raise large
crops for the reason that they are toS
far from railway transportation. Will
