But 1T DOESN'T
Many Have the Erroneous
Idea that Fdt Makes Fat
ONE REASON OF COD LIVER OILS
POPULARITY.
Nevertheless Decidedly Wrong I'm
preston.

Fat taken into the stomach does
not make fat. Thousands of phvsi-
clans have prescribed cod liver oil
for wasting diseases and all troubles
that SHOW themselves in a decline of
weight. Physicians know that the fat
or grease is not what is necessary to
make fat or tissue. They also know
that 1t is one of the main things that
make cod liver oil impractical IL,
many cases. The fat is too rich to be
digested by a stomach weakened by
disease.
When cod liver oil is given, often
the oil passes from the body in exact
ly the same state in which it is re-
ceived. The reason doctors prescribe
cod liver oil is that 1t contains GER
tain curative properties. 1t is to take
advantage of these same curative
properties that they have so often
tried to force their patients to take
this horrible, greasy, vile-smelling,
nauseating remedy.
There are but few people who have
not had experience in one way or an
other with cod liver oil, and even the
thought of its smell is enough to
cause a shudder. When we think of
these things 1t is not strange that
every one in our city is sounding the
praise of Vinol.
Vinol, which the Brock & McComas
Co., are handling, is the solution of an
embarrassing puzzle that physicians
have had to contend with for years.
Much has been said in the past few
days of this wonderful discovery and
yet it would be impossible to say too
much in its praise.
Vinol will indeed prove itself to be
a Godsend of the most precious kind.
AS we have described 1t before, there
is no need now of entering into the
subject at length; but just remember
that in Vinol you can procure all the
medicinal properties or curative prin-
ciples that make cod liver oil famous,
but without the greasy fat" Vinol
contains just the right amount of the
active medicinal properties of the
Gods liver that is necessary for the
cure of such diseases as cod liver oil
has been prescribed for.
This is a subject that every one
should become familiar with and we
recommend that you make inquiries
of your druggists in regard to Vinol,
or if you will call on the Brock &
McComas Co., who have associated
themselves with the Boston chemists
who are preparing this remedy, they
will gladly give any one all explana-
tions that may be desired in regard to
this subject.

Quit Teaching for a Farm.


For reasons not now known, Ball
relinquished the school in March,
1888, and made up his mind to farm
He borrowed 25 bushels of wheat of
DR.. Mclaughlin, and went up to the
willamette river, to a point about
three miles from Champoeg. Twenty
bushels of the wheat he sowed, and
five bushels he reserved for bread,
to piece OUT the coarse fare which
was usual with the settlers.
Ball built a cabin, broke ground
and put in his crop. AS nearly as
can be learned the wheat crop Yield
ed well. At any rate in the fall Ball
had enough to be able to repay DIR.

he sold for enough to pay his fare

supplemented with exposure, work
to which he was unaccustomed;
fever, ague and fleas, was enough for
Ball, and in the fall he shipped on
Hudson Bay ship at Vancouver and
returned to New England via the
Sandwich Islands and Cape Horn. He
never returned to Oregon, but he by
no means went into retirement. He
was a man of force and judgment,
and with the pioneer instinct.
Founder of Grand Rapids.
In 1896, when he was SO years of
age, (Ball was born In Lansingburg,
N. Y, in 1900, an association of his
friends sent him west from New Eng
land to timber cruise in Michigan.
One result of his labors in behalf of
this association was that Ball be-
came the founder of the city of Grand
Rapids, Mich, where he made his
home until his death in 1890, at the
age of 80. He once made Grand
Rapids a present of 40 acres of land,
which the city laid out and developed
and named John Ball Park" 1t is
now the most beautiful park in that
beautiful city.
John Ball was a bachelor until he
was 55 years of age. When past the
half century mark he was married,
and by his first and only wife became
the father of ~ children, the young
est born when he was rs years of
age. 1t is said that all these children
are living.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1904-10-25

The first school taught within the
confines of the territory now known
as either Oregon, Washington or Ida
no, was during the winter of 1923,
in warehouse at Vancouver
according to the best information OBJ
tainable by George H. Hines, the
curator of the Oregon Historical So
ciety. Not many of the details in re-
lation to 1t are now known, and the
names of but four of its pupils are
known, together with that of its
teacher, John Ball.
Much of Mr.. Hines information
about the school has been gained
from one of the pupils-William
Cameron Mckay, for whose father,
Thomas, Mckay creek in Umatilla
county, was named. Thomas died in
1S49 at Scappoose Plains, Columbia
county, Ore. Thomas McKay's father
was Alexander Mckay, who was a
partner of John Jacob Astor in the
enterprise of founding a trading post
and town at the mouth of the Colum-
bia.
The other pupils whose names are
known are David Mclaughlin, a son
of DR.. Mclaughlin; Louis LaBonte
and Raymond Macdonald.
There were approximately 20 pu-
pills in the school, which was taught
in warehouse used ordinarily for
the sorting of furs, or possibly cloth
ing and provisions. At any rate, 1t
was taught in a. storehouse of some
kind belonging to the Hudson Bay
Company. About its equipment of
seats and desks and other furnishings
nothing is known.
Mr.. Mckay was always positive
that the school was opened about
three days after the arrival of the
Capt. Nathaniel Wyeth wagon train
with which John Ball came to the
coast, and 1t is a matter of history
that this train reach Vancouver
November II, 1892. Ball Immediate
ly importuned DR.. Mclaughlin to give
him employment. Ball was an edu-
Gated mana graduate of some New
England college, which one is not
known-and the usual run of pur-
suits in which the pioneers engaged
were foreign to his tastes and abili-
ties. At the same time, Ball was
very independent man, and sturdily
rejected DR.. McLoughlin's insistent
invitation that he simply consider
himself the doctors guest.
1t is altogether likely that DIR.
Mclaughlin had no reservations in
his invitation to Ball to consider him
self his guest Ball was one of the
very few men-perhaps the only man
at that time in that country-who ap-
proximated DIR. McLoughlin's equal
in culture and refinement, and at
the same time in sympathies as well.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Ball preferred not
to be under any possible shadow of
obligations, and DR.. Mclaughlin
finally understanding this, suggested
that Ball teach a school, and insisted
that the school was needed. Ball
acted on the suggestion, and as near
ly as can be ascertained, the school
was opened November 20, 1882, as
stated.
