Sure of Cure.

What the afflicted man wants
is not a temporary relief, but a
permanent CURE. The bene-
fetal effects of my treatment
are as lasting as life-a cure to
stay cured. When once a pa
tient is rescued by me from the
ravages of disease or weakness
peculiar to his sex, he is never
again bothered with his former
trouble. I do not treat all dis
eases, but 1 cure all I treat, and

Men About to Marry

Should call for an examination
first to see if they are fit or
qualified for the marriage con-
tract. Some disease may be in
your system that will spoil the
happiness of you and your wife
forever. If you are guilty of
some weakness caused by secret
vice, don't try to cover II up
by getting married. Marriage
In this state only helps the dis
ease to settle deeper IN your
system, running your own health
and producing weak, sickly chill
dren. If you are going to get
married. first be a man. Go to
the Great Heidelberg Medical In
stitute and be examined and
learn if you are fit for marriage.
Examination and advice abso-
lutely free.

A summer room is a great comfort

In the first place, four poles or pieces
Of scantling are fixed in the ground
where the room corners are to be. The
tops of these are connected by four
other pieces of wood, which should be
screwed in position so at the end of the
summer the structure Lay be taken
to pieces. This is all the woodwork
required. Indian or Chinese mating is
used to cover the frame. This is lined
on the inner side with plain colored
cambric, preferably green. The mat
ting is secured to the framework by
tapes, so that if desired the sides may
be raised or lowered. A pole is placed
in the center of the room in order to

When to Eat Fruit.

The question is often asked, At what
time of day should fruit be eaten? In
tropical countries, where fruit is the
chief article of food, the rule appears
to be that the earlier IN the day it is
taken the better and the later the
worse. In hot weather many wise
people will eat none after noon, alleg-
ing that the digestion then declines in
power with the decline of the day and
the fruit. instead of digesting. decom-
poses owing to the presence of the sac

experience, though some persons can
eat fruit at all hours without feeling

If women would only realize that a
floating veil falling lightly in the back
is exceedingly becoming to all and at
all times, no costume would be con
sidered complete without one, by day
in the street and at home both day and
evening. All regal costumes for queens
have the floating veil of tulle or lace,
and women in general are perfectly
free to wear it, but somehow it has
been many years since even the drap-
cry has been seen at the back of the

and how becoming it is we are now al

quote few paragraphs of this very

and hard hitter. He began thus:
We have been in session since the first
Monday of last December. 1t has been
indeed a long session, and it has been the
most expensive session of congress ever
held in all our history. We have spent
great deal of the peoples money-nearly
a billion dollars. And what for? Let us

A Scrap of History.

Mrs. Mary Croisan, of Salem,
is visiting at the home Of her
brother, A. J. Hall, of Wells.
The lady is the mother of Sen.
ator Ed Croisan,of Salem, and q
pioneer of '4o. She crossed the
plains with the Baker party, oi
which the late Mrs. GreenbeIry
Smith, then Mary Baker, was
also a member.
Mrs. Croisan was married tc
her late husband when the party
reached the Platte river, another
couple being married at the same
time. Reaching Oregon, MI.
and Mrs. Croisan came to what
is now Corvallis, living for time
OIL about the same plot of ground
which the Oregon Agricultural
College now occupies.
During their residence here,
Mrs. Croisan, who, by tie way,
was but II years of age, walked
from Corvallis to the Greenberry
Smith farm near Wells, follow
ing the trail not far east of the
foothills. AS she sauntered
along, she ran amuck Of a band
of Indians, and as she expressed
it, 81 thought l was 'goner'
sure enough" Turning, she
ran with all speed, and was re-
lieved to hear a hearty shout of
laughter from her supposed
would-be assassins. She reached
her destination safely, though
considerably flurried from the ell
counter.
Mrs. Croisan is 73 years Of
age, but is remarkably we'll and
active for a lady of her years.
Though blessed with family of
devoted children, she prefers to
occupy her home alone, in Salem,
her husband having passed to the
other shore many years.ago.

Mr. Fogte Writes Again

Under date of August 17th.
U. B. Voele, formerly of this
city but now of Lo1npoc, Calf,
near the scene Of the recent dis
astrous earthquakes, tells the Ga
zETEE readers of a recent trip
made by himself, and his obser-
vations while en- route. He says:
Having just returned from the
'quake' district, l presume a
a little news of this section will
be of interest to you. The road
leading from Lompoc to the
scene of the greatest volcapic ac-
tivity is over one of the coast
ranges of mountains, and ride
over it with a bike is as thrilling
an experience as one can imag-
inc. Going down from the SUM :
nit we tie heavy piece of brush
to the bike aud away we so for
ten miles, down a steep incline,
Coming back is when we have
time to reflect.
We stopped to rest at cabin
on the road, and found it desert
ed, except for an entomologist,
and he was busy with some taxi
der1nists, and l think they will
get his hide before long. The
cabin was minus everything, ex,
cepting a dime novel and a copy
of Huckleberry Finn.
There are places i'll the region
visited where it looks as though
cyclone had passed through,
leaving circular indentures in
the earth.
Some places the ground has
opened, leaving widesscrevices in
the earth. Streams of running
water, that were very small be-
fore the shock, now seem to car
ry twice the quantity of water
they did before. In places the
sides of the mountains have slid
down, exposing large deposits OF
various minerals. Among other
deposits exposed is a quantity OF
asbestos. This seems to be of a
very superior qnality. 1t will re-
sist fire, and can BE- woven i'll al
most any forrn--it will be nice
for future use. l claim to be
the discoverer ard originator OF
this proposition. So, you see,
am leaving some "foot prints on
the sands of time" -.

CHANGED CONDITIONS.

Almost seventy years ago the
manufacture of cotton duck, now
transferred to Alabama, was es-
tablishe / in Connecticut. At that
time, aud for many years follow
ing, there existed especial reas-
ons why the manufacture Of this
commodity should be conducted
so far away from the locality pro-
ducing the raw material. The
most weighty of these was that
there was no skilled labor in the
South and none was desired.
Slave labor was employed there
in raising cotton for export.
Manufacture it who might, the
South had no purpose in doing so.
The New England states sup
piled the chief demand tor duck
ing; her labor was free white,
and her rivers furnished abund-
ant cheap power to drive the
requisite machinery.
Naturally manufacturers using
large quantities of bulky or heavy
raw material seek to locate their
factories near to the source of
supply. Failing in or deferred
from this, they locate where they
can most easily supply the de-
mand for their finished product.
1t was for these reasons Connect
icut and Massachusetts became
great cotton manufacturing states.
The extinction of slavery, the
construction of railways and the
consequent development of the
natural resources of the Southern
States have made it possible for
manufacturers using the raw ma
terial produced there to establish
their factories there. Already |
has the South drawn away from
the Eastern States the manufac-
ture of the coarser cotton fabrics,
and it appears very probable that
in a few years the whole industry
