Three Days Of Frstivity Have Beer
Arranged for In Portland.
Portland, June lS.-The Fourth o,
July will be celebrated in Portland
this year as it never has been bsiore.
Three days OF festivity have been ar.
ranged for. with special programmes
for every day. The committee which
has the matter in charge is composed
OF enterprising business men, among
them being Gen. Owen summers, Julius
l.. Meier and Dan McAllen. They
have succeeded in securing a rate of
one fare for the round trip from all
points in the state, so that everyone
will be enabled to come to Portland
AMI help celebrate.
Among the unique features which
have been arranged is "a grand illumi.
mated parade at night. which will take
the place OF the usual fireworks. Vol
leys OF rockets and mines Will be dis.
charged as the parade moves along
through the streets, and in the process
sion will be many brilliant fire floats
and squads OF torch bearers. The best
of music has been provided, and visit
ors to the city will find no lack OF op.
portunity to find entertainment while
giving vent to their patriotism.

IS IT MALARIA OR ALUM7

Languor, loss OF appetite, indiges.
tion and often ieverishness are the com.
mon symptoms OF a physiological cou.
dition termed malaria. All these
symptoms may be and frequently are
the effect of the use Of alum baking
powders in food making. There is no
question about the poisonous effect OF
alum upon the system. 1t obstructs
digestion, prostrates the nerves, coagu.
lates and devitalizes the blood. All
this has been made clear, thanks to
physicians, boards OF eath, and food
commissions. SO "highly injuriou. to
the health OF the community" does the
eminent head OF the University of
Pennsylvania, DR.. Barker consider the
alum baking powders, that he SAYS
"their sale should be prohibited by
law"
Under these circumstances it is
worth the while of every housewife to
employ the very little care that is nee.
essary to keep SO dangerous an element
from the food OF her family.
A pure cream of tartar baking pow
der, which is the only kind that should
be used, ought to cost about fortytive
TO fifty cents a pound. Therefore, il
YOU are paying much less something j.
wrong; ii you are paying twenty-five
cents o, less per pound, the powder is
certainly made from alum. Always
bear these simple facts III mind when
purchasing baking powder.

miles outside of Panama. According
to this information the insurgents

Irritation OF the Lip Causes Cancer.

Cancer of the lip a city physician
says. "is caused more frequently than
one would think by the toothbrush.
Let me illustrate this by typical case
which l am treating now. John Blank
smoked a good deal. and, to keep his
teeth white he cleaned them hard three
times day with brush whose brs-
ties were like wire. He brushed a
little patch Of skin from his lower lip.
Afterward he was careful. and the sore
spot healed. But then he forgot. and
the spot became sore again. This went
on a year or So Two days out of the
seven this one place in Blanks lip was
sore. Finally, it began to pain him;
1t hurt him all the time; 1t smarted
even when apparently healed. He
would awake in the night with the
sharp pinching pain there. and the
pain was like the clutch Of crabs
claw, for he had cancer now-cancer
due to the irritation which he had ap-
piled thrice daily for "A year to that one

How Newspaper Man Retaliated foI
Insults From u Candidate.

How Newspaper Man Ketaliated for
Insults From ~ Candidate.
A good story, and one with moral.
is related by well-knOwn Southern
writer, says the New York Mail and
Express.
"No great statesman with good hard
horse sense ever went out OF his way to
offend a newspaper man, hr says.
"Some wears ago there was very hot
campaign in Georgia for big office.
lin distant city lived n candidate
who was confident of election. He
was proud and naughty, and thought
only OF himself.
"A young newspaper man was de-
tailed by the managing editor to ac'
company the statesman and report his
speeches.
"Now comes the funny part of the
story. The statesman ignored his COM
panion-left him to take care OF him
seli-introluced him to nobody-treat-
ell him without a"v consideration.
''Once when they were riding in a
buggy through the country thev stop
ped at spring. The statesman cooled
u bottle OF wine in the spring and drank
it all, without offering the journalist a
drop.
Then he helped himself to cigar
from the valise, and resumed his seat
in the buggy.
Drive on'he said.
1.-The newspaper man hated and de-
spised the col.l-blooded politician, but
he had his work to do.
''IIe reported the speeches and cam
paign incidents. but in quiet way he
knitted the statesman. The big man
read the reports. land was conscious that
something was lacking. but he could
not tell what.
"The newspaper man simply stuck
to the facts and damned the candidate
with faint praise. lie left out the ele'
ment Of enthusiasm. He was dull, ANA
deliberately so.
1.-The candidate was defeated, and he
never knew how much the newspaper
man had to do with it.
"Oi course he did not dream that his
own conduct had injured him. Nc
mean man ever makes the discovery
that he is mean"
