EXPECT SICKNESS.
After the ground freezes up, all the
foul surface water runs direct
into the river.

1t is an acknowledged fact that nine
tenths of the sickness SO prevalent during
the fall months can be traced to impure
water. 1t will cost you less to buy
Diamond Spring Water for few months
than to pay Doctors bills. Why run the
risk Of sickness or possible death, when
you can be absolutely sure of pure water
for so small an outlay.
Order Diamond Spring Water today.
One gallon delivered daily for 75 cents
per month; 25 cents extra per month for
each additional gallon

BETTER BE ON YOUR GUARD.
There Is Possibility That European
Enemy May Invade Us Again This
Year-A Suggestion In Time.

The latest news from London indicates
the prevalence of a great deal of influenza,
not only in that city, but throughout Eng
land and Europe. This is the way the grip
of last year started
There is an unusual amount of coughing,
sneezing, headache, pain in the muscles,
especially around the shoulders and arms,
cold feet; in fact, all the usual grip symp-
toms.
You may say / do not fear the grip But
do you not fear the terrible things which
grip may bring2 Especially pneumonia,
winch may come almost in moment and
cause your death within a day? More
people die suddenly from pneumonia than
from any other known complaint. Why 2
Because 1t comes Unexpectedly, because it
gives no warning, has no symptoms other
than those above stated, and yet it is the
most fatal of all known diseases.
In view of these solemn facts, what shall
any sensible man or woman do who reads
these words? Manifestly guard against
the coming of this dangerous disease.
How? Not by dosing with quinine but by
strengthening, by toning the system with
some pure stimulant of tonic power. There
are many which claim to possess this
quality, but there is but one which act
ualy does possess it. That one is Duffy's
Pure Malt Whisky. It has stood the test
OF years and is the most popular prepara-
tlon to-day known to the American peo-
pie. physicians recommend it. 1t is gen
orally used and IL is universally admitted
to possess qualities known only to itself
DO not permit your druggist or grocer to
persuade you otherwise, but insist upon
having what you call for.

In the main saloon aud dining room
the shades of the light are all cut glass
and are very elegant and expensive
fixtures. When lighted the effect is de-
lightfully brilliant. There are so small
flower shaped shades in which are one
incandescent light. The old oil lamp
chandeliers have been replaced with four
magnificent electrollers. two in the So
loon and two in the dining room. In tho
saloon they are ball-shaped about foot
In diameter and contain three lights. In
the dining room they are bowl shaped
and larger, containing four lights. The
erect OF the cut glass of these electrollers
Is suggestive of the blaze Of precious
gems. They cost $40 apiece. There is
sou worth Of cut glass in these lights Oh
both boats. The search light is on top of
the pilot house. 1t is OF 1917 candle
power and cost $780, The entire equip
ment of both boats cost nearly $l1, 900. 1t
Is gratifying that this splendid electric
work was done here in Portland.
