Then again during her intervals of |
quiet she would repeat the 23rd Psalm,
dwelling on the words Though walk
through the valley of the shadow of
death, will fear no evil, for Thou art
with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they
comfort me-" Another selection of
Scripture which she was never tired of
repeating was "In my Fathers house
are many mansions; 60 to prepare q
place for you, that where am there ye
may be also' She,retained her faculties
until nearly the very last, calling each
one by name, and asking for tender lit,
tie ministrations of love which were
gladly and lovingly rendered by the
hands of her two daughters, who were
mindful of her every comfort, and
ministered unto her with untiring care,
the gentle touch of those loving fingers
lulling her to untroubled repose. She
often remarked to me during her last
hours, "Oh, the beautiful care that they
lavish upon me, which was indeed true,
for nothing was neglected or left I'M
done.
Thus it is, in our every day life we
look back through the ceaseless round
of business and care and see through
tears those sad events which transfer
those we love to another sphere.
The dear old heart is still, heart SO
true, 80 tender, SO faithful that no one

Letter From the Executive Officer of Oregon

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific. Letters of congratula-
tion and Recommendation testifying to the
merits of Pe-runa as n catarrh remedy
are pouring in from every State in the
Union. DIR. Hartman is receiving hun
dreds of such letters daily All classes
write these letters, from the highest to
the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-
san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman
the reacher-all agree that Pe-ru-n ma is
the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy. are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-
mony.
Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost ON
nipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abso-
lutte safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds,
to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of
its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca
tarrh, but prevents. Every household
should be supplied with this great rem
edy for coughs. colds and so forth.

CLAIMS TO RESTORE LIFE.
Scientist Has Powder That Brings
Dead Animals to Life.

DR.. C. w. Littlefeld of Alexandria,
who for fifteen years has been pursu-
ing his investigations of the vital
principles OF life, experimenting with
cats, dogs. monkeys and other lower
animals, has at last made known the
result of his work. He makes the as
sertion that he can restore life. He
asserts that the principle of life, in
substance, is volatile magnetism.
In demonstrating his theory, the
doctor employs solution of saline
origin. with salt as the basis, saturat-
ed with Oleo resin and exposed for
several hours to an atmosphere Of
saline solution, DR.. Littlefield reduces
it to a powder 1t is this powder that
he has employed throughout his long
course of experiments.
For instance. having put to death
dog or cat by drowning and allowed
the corpse to remain long enough to
convince anyone following his inves-
legations that all life is extinct, Dir.
Littlefeld takes the corpse and with
out preparation of any kind, places
1t upon a heated stone or porcelain
plate, brought to temperature cor

and covers it thoroughly with a light
layer of the powder.

cat remained dead two hours. and
during this time was allowed to re-
main in the hot sun until rigor mortis
had set in. The corpse was then
placed upon the heated porcelain and
powder applied, and the animal re-
turned to consciousness within five
minutes.
The magnetic influence can easily
be seen by placing drop of the liquid
with minute particles Of solid sub
stance in it under microscope. The
particles can be seen flying back and
forth with indescribable energy and
life.

Yours very truly, w. NJ. Lord.
1t will be noticed that the Governor
says he has not had occasion to use Pc
ru-na for other ailments. The reason for
this is, most other ailments begin with
cold. Using Peru-na to promptly cure
colds, he protects his family against 9TH
er railments. Thisis exactly what every
other family in the United States should
do. Keep Peru-na in the house Use it

s.s5 for March and s.s2 to s9s for May January was hardly as strong as other months, ranging from s.51 to s.54 When March sold a point higher than Wednes. day, January was point lower. Liquida- tions in January had some effect on the market but no decided changes seemed possibly for developments today. The stock here now is 900 and upon the de- livery or non-delivery of this hinges the course of January All this will not be known until next week, and perhaps not even then. With a holiday yesterday,
 figures on the movement were not forth coming but it looked like more in sight than last year at this time. This is likely to prevent free buying until spinners sec whether the movement will increase more. If the comparison over last year keeps up for a few weeks the market is likely to show the effects by a break. According to the Lancashire spinner5 report mills with some 900 spindles have been run at a loss of s25, ,O00. This goes far to eX- plain why Liverpool does not advance on small stocks. Then, too, spinners have more cotton than a year ago. We can't sec our way clear to advise buying cotton al moment. Let's see what will become of this January business. When the st- uation looks right and the market begins 10 move, 1t will be as evident to you as to any one There is nothing to induce buying or selling at the moment Con- tinue to take profits on advance and only buy on good breaks
