THE BROCK & M'cOMlS CO.,
OUR LOCAL DRUGGISTS,
Say That the Wonderful Popularity
OF vinol is Due to Intrinsic Merit.

"The intrinsic merit of this new cod
liver oil preparation. Vinol," said Mr.
Brock. OF the Brock q McComas Co,
sis beginning to be realized by the
people of Pendleton. OF course in my
position as druggist have seen in
Vulnerable medicines and proprietary
articles introduced. but never in my
long experience have l ever known or
heard of medicine that would pro-
duce more beneficial results than
Vinol.
II attribute this to the fact that
Ninol contains in a concentrated form
all the medicinal elements contained
in cod liver oil actually taken from
fresh Gods livers, but without drop
Of oil or grease to nauseate and upset
the stomach. and II contains no sick
ening drugs.
"a prominent physician writes.
'Vinol is the most valuable prepara-
ton of cod liver oil known TO medi-
cine. 1t is of untold value to create
strength and build up the general sys'

New York, Jan. s.-Thomas G.
Frost, general counsel for the Nation
al Corporation company. and author
Of Frost on Incorporation" upon
being interviewed in rersrence to the
proposed federal licensing of incor.
poratipns, said: M
The proposed remedial CORPORA
ton legislation recommended hy
Commissioner Garfield involves two
separate propositions: First, the pas
sage Of a general federal incorporA-
ton law; second. the enactment of a
federal statute requiring all corpora
tions engaged in interstate commerce
TO procure license from the federal
government before engaging therein.
My opinion as to the advisability,
and practicability of such legislation
Is this: A federal corporation law,
permissive and not mandatory in
character, while it would have much
to recommend it, would do little to-
ward remedying existing abuses. Such
an act would simply meet the wants
of those who preferred charter is
sued under authority of the federal
| government, and this. too, az the ex-
pense of the state governments, who
would unquestionablys suffer a dimin-
ution in income were federal incor-
poration to 5be permitted. AS a
source of revenue to the national gov
eminent, such an act would un-
doubtedly be a pronounced success,
but as a 'trust-buster' it would be a
grievous disappointment.
THE proposition to require a fed
eral license from all state corpora
tions engaged in interstate commerce
is crude, visionary and exceedingly
ill-advised from a business stand
point. 1t is species of radical leg
islation' suited to a strongly central.
lied government, such as France
rather than to one, such as ours
wherein the rights of the severa
states are carefully guarded by con
stitutional enactments against en-,
croachment on their prerogatives b!
the federal government.
THE objections to the proposed
federal license law may be briefl,
summarized as follows: First, 1t il
Capitalization in its worst and mos
virulent form; second, it would b,
impossible to make il wholly effect
i've owing to the fact that the right t.
forfeit the charters of the corpora
tions so licensed would rest necessari
ly with the state authorities from
whom the charter was procured
Finally, if such bill were introduced
into congress it would be difficult t,
find friends for it among the numer

WORT REMEMBERING.

There are three entirely different
kinds Of ingredients used in making
the three different varieties Of baking
powders on the market, viz:-Q) Min
eral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid or
Phosphate, and (s) Cream of Tartar
made from grapes. It is important,
from the standpoint Of health, to
know something about these ingredi-
ents, and which kind is used in your
baking powder.
"a Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made
from a kind of clay. This is mixed
with diluted oil of vitriol and from
this solution a product is obtained
which is alum. Alum ic cheap; costs
about two cents a pound, and baking
powder made with this Mineral-Acid
sells from 10 to Csc. a pound.
(2l Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, is the
basis Of phosphate baking powders
and the process is fully described in
the patents issued to a large manufac-
turer of a phosphate powder. The u.
S. Patent Office Report gives a full
and exact description, but the follow
ing extract is enough:
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil of Wit
riol and with continual stirring and
in the following proportion" etc.
From this Bone-Acid phosphate bak-
ing powders are made; such powders
sell from 20 to 30 cents a pound.
90 Cream of Tartar exists in all
ripe grapes, and flows with the juice
from the press in the manufacture of
wine. After the wine is drawn off the
tartar is scraped from the cask, hoil-
ed with water, and crystals of Cream
of Tartar, white and very pure, sepa-
rate and are collected. II differs in
no respect from the form in which it
originally existed in the grape. Cream
of Tartar, then, while the most expen-
sive, is the only ingredient that
should be used in a baking powder to
act upon the soda, as its wholesome
ness is beyond question. Cream of
Tartar baking powders sell at about
40 to so cents a pound.
Such are the facts, and every one,
careful of the health of the family,
should remember this rule:-Baking
powders selling from 10 to % cents q
pound are made of Mineral-Acids
those selling from 20 to 80 cents OF
Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to so
cents of Cream Of Tartar made from
grapes.

Advocate L!aht Branch Roads.

The resolutions adopted by the In
ternational Railway Congress at Wash
ington commend light railways, or
branch roads, to the careful attention
of public authorities. The report says:
Their construction makes it posi-
BILE to encourage the progress and de-
velopment of districts which have pre-
%viously remained in the background,
and it is accordingly not only the in
tent but the duty of the governments
10 assist them. 1t is desirable, there
fore, not to adhere to old types and
old methods of construction, operation
and regulation, but to introduce every
facility possible, adaptable to local
needs and available resources.
1T is also desirable that state gov
eminent and local authorities should
accord to light railways, either under
the form of subsidies, relaxation of re-
quirements or other methods OF assist
n the support which they need for
construction and for operation, SO that
all parts of the country be adequately
served"
The congress expressed the wish
that the present tendency Of legisla-
ton to establish more liberal regula-
lions may become more general and
efforts of the management to equip
their light traffic lines with a more
economical organization. which prom
Use to give remarkable results, be con-
tinued."

Congressman MorTell, of Philadel-
phia, in a discussion of the Delaware
river appropriations, mentioned a
mean man.
There are many mean men" he
said, but this man surely vas the
meGnest Of them all. Besides being
mean he was also rich.
ITO a poor young couple living near
him a son was born and they decided
to name their son after the mean man.
and to ask him to stand as its god
father.
He consented. He was nattered.
"Thereupon the joy of this poor
young couple was great. They o
dered what gift the rich godfather
would give to his little godson, Per
haps a house and lot? Perhaps a half
dozen government bonds? Perhaps a
herd of cattle?"
Senator Morrell paused and smiled.
What do you suppose" he said,
the mean man SEN the youngster?
He sent it, sir, a cup that n of his
Cochin China hens had won at a poul-
try show"

A Picture Of Death.


He who hath bent him DER the dead
Ere the first day of death is fled,
The first lark day of n~othingness,
The last of danger and distress,
before Decays effacing fingers
lave swept the lines where beauty I'M
gers),
The rapture of repoSe, that's there,
The fixed yet tender traits that streak
The languor of the placid cheek,
And. but for that sad shrouded eye,
That fires not, wins not, WeepS not now,
And but for that chill, ~changeless brow,
Where cold DISTINCTIONS apathy
Appalls the gazing mouruer's heart,
AS If to hin it would impart
The doom he dfesds, yet dwells upon;
Yes, but for thes- AMI these alone
Some moments, ay one t-leacherous hour,
He still might doubt the tyrant's power
So fair. SO calm, so softly sealed,
The first. last look by death revealed!
Such is the aspect OF this shore;
IT'S Greece, but living Greece no more!
So coldly sweet, so deadly fair,
We start, for soul is wanting there.
Hers is the lOVeliness in death,
That parts not quite with parting breath;
But beauty with that fearful bloom,
That hue which haunts 1t to the tomb,
Expressions last receding ray,
A gilded halo lowering round decay,
The farewell beam Of Feeling passed
away;
Spark Of that fame, %perchance of heav-
emily birth,
Which CLEANS. but warns no more its
cherished earth!

A low sunnestIon.

An ingenious lady has devised a
plan for the transportation of impe-
cunious invalids by rail. Henceforth
she suggests that those who cannot
afford to pay for an invalid carriage
should travel in a hammock slung in
an ordinary compartment. This
sounds something less than cheerful
for the invalid. The carriages of most
railways are not designed for ham
mocks. And what would happen to
the invalid If the hammock swung?

Writer In the Dellneator Points Out
Duties Of Parents.

Duties OF Parents.
The woman with a high sense os
justice, if she possess tact also, can
usually Undue even a very worldly
and busy man with a sense of obli-
cation toward his children, says the
De,ineator. She should lean upon
him, ask his advice, and never admit
that it is her duty to have the sole
care Of training the children, The
mother has opportunities which the
father lacks for studying the children,
and she should give him the benefit
of her observations, while he in turn
should make opportunities for such
study that he may combine the result
of his observations with the mothers,
thereby producing that other point Of
view which is essential to progress in
any line.
The mothers have had a mistaken
sense of duty in this connection, and
the fathers have in many instances
simply accepted a condition ready
made for them. l pray you, fathers,
wake up to the blessed possibilities
for service and true happiness in your
parenthood; and, mothers, hold fast
to such ideals as will make for right
eousness and noble character build
ing in your home.

GREELEY AND THE FARM.

Great Editor a Lover Of the Soil All
His Life.
Il would have been a farmer, had
any science of farming been known to
those among whom my early boyhood
was passed. Horace Greedy wrote in
1865. Farming, as understood and
practiced by those among whom l
grew up, was a work for oxen; and for
men the life of an OK had no charms"
And, in temperament, Horace Greeley
was a farmer all his life. He was
born on a poor little farm in New
Hampshire, and his childhood exper-
fences of the vocation were those of
terribly hard work, and a meager liv-
ing as it's reward. 1t is no wonder
that printing seemed more promising
to him.-Mr. Oliver Bronson Capen in
Country Life in America.

desertions were numerous and the Of

found guilty of desertion. His punish

and shot to death. Another odd pun
ishment was that inflicted upon Cor
nelius Cairns, a deserter, who was SEN
fenced to wear a twenty-four-pound
shot for six months and to pay the ex
penses of his apprehension.

SUNDAY MARKETS in ENGLAND.

Once Common, Now Abolished az a
Nuisance.
According to the Domesday Book, a
Sunday market was held at St. Ger
mans, Cornwall, even before the con
quest, though it was soon rendered of
little value, owing to the establishing
of another on an adjacent piece of
ground by the conqueror's h%alf-broth-
err.
From the conquest right on to the
time of Henry VII, and in a few cases
longer, these Sunday markets were
common. Records of them are found
at Bradford, Worcester, Battle,
L%aunceton and parts of Durham, Ian
cashire and Lincolnshire.
Launceton, in 1906, gave King John
five marks for a license to change
the day to Thursday; Battle did pref
ty much the same thing. Despite an
act of parliament in 1449 a%bolishing
them, some disregarded the act, and
continued Sunday fairs until 1900.
In Wigton, Cumberland. the butch
ers on Sunday did a roaring trade
close to the church doors. 1t was no
uncommon thing for worshippers to
bring their joints to church with
them, and hang them over the pew
fronts. The priest, unable to stop the
custom, protested to London, and got
the market day changed to Tuesday.
