have had weak spot somewhere"
The fact is, almost everybody has a
weak spot somewhere. Death and dis
ease are always looking for weak spots.
If your stomach or your liver won't do
its proper work, if your body fails to
get its full nouriShment from the food
you eat, and your brain loses part of the
sleep it ought to have, no matter how big
your frame and muscular your limbs may
be, you will give out; disease will find the
weak spot, and nature will give way.
"Three years ago this spring / was at
tackled with severe dyspepsia" writes Mr..
w. A. Cain. OF Ala West Madison St, Hast
ings, Mich. "Was treated by five different
doctors, but kept getting worse until was
afraid to go to the table to eat, as the least
little thing | ate distressed me so | could
hardly stand it. After suffering for nearly
year and falling off in weight from 126
pounds to l09 pounds / commenced taking
Golden Medical Discovery Before / had
taken all OF one bottle began to feel relief,
but kept on until had taken eight bottles,
and now l am as well as ever can eat any
thing want and | feel good. Am weighing
100 pounds and feel fine all the time My
friends were surprised to notice such quick
change in me after seeing me suffer SO long.
Several said they never expected to see me
get well. have not had to take any medi-
cine for stomach trouble since. | cannot say
enough in praise Of your Golden Medical
Discovery"
This glorious "Discovery" gives the
stomach and liver power to do their nat
ural work regularly and completely. 1t
makes healthy blood and steady nerves.
1t helps the weak spots, making them
Sound and strong.

OUTLINES HIS PLATFORM
DIR. WithycOmbe Says He Is Farmer
Candidate and Proud of It.

A farmer and a farmer candidate
for governor OF Oregon, is what DIR.
James Withycombe, of Corvallis,
calls himself.
And the doctor is proud of the title,
for he thinks farming the best occu
patton on earth, and among Oregon s
industries the most valuable. Yet he
comedies that if he were a miner or a
manufacturer or merchant he might
be satisfied, too, but as a tiller OF the
soil and grower of livestock he
thinks he is in natures best notch.
AS DR.. Withycombe was the first
Republican to become a candidate, so
he was the first to make known the
issues on which he will make his
campaign. AS stated by him in an
interview with the Oregonian recently,
they will be in part as follows:
Taxation Of franchises and other
intangible properties that now escape
the assessor.
Uniform assessment and taxation
of railroads in the various counties.
A state board of control for state
institutions.
A law to regulate state banks.
One board for management Of nor
NAL schools.
A gross earnings tax on telegraph,
telephone and express corporations.
Improvement of the Columbia river
and coast seaports Of Oregon.
Purchase Of the locks at Oregon
City by the national government.
Liberal support by the state of agri-
cultural fairs and farmers institutes.
Amendment to the constitution so
that the governor and the people can
veto items in appropriation bills.
A square deal for every person.
A greater and united Oregon.
Talk politics?" he responded after
making known his platform, for he
was asked to tell what he thought of
matters and things as they effected
himself and his rivals. 'Now see
here" he went on apologetically, "if
you were to ask me about COW, or a
sheep, or a hog, or vetches, 1 might be
able to give some information, but
when it comes to politics I don't know
much.
'It gives me pride to say that I am
a farmer candidate, for agriculture
has been my lifework.
zone of the worst forms of social
injustice" ;" he resumed, getting back
to his discourse, sis that which comes
from uneven burdens of taxation.
Under the present system, farms and
livestock and homes Of the many poor
in cities and towns are taxed higher
than their rightful share.
ITO alleviate this, franchises ought
to be taxed, railroads ought to be
uniformly assessed, and the gross
earnings OF telegraph, telephone and
express companies should be taxed.
To be sure, the assessor of Multnomah
has assessed franchises in Portland,
but his authority under the law is un-
certain, and the state should have
another law.
"The time has come when our state
institutions should be managed by a
board OF control, This would secure
economy of administration and more
efficiency of service.
"And the time has also come when
the peoples treasure on deposit in
private banks should be safeguarded
by state examiner The people of
Oregon have lost large sums of money
careless and conscienceless
methods, and many have
been brought down to poverty"

Curtain STYLES.

Lace curtains will be used this fall
but the artistic printed linens and
lightweight materials are going to
be more popular. These fabrics cost
less than lace and harmonic more
with the furnishings, especially in the
small apartment. The new printed
linens have c~ream-cOlored back
grounds, with bright floral designs in
both large and small figures. Among
these artistic materials are the print
ed and plain linens, madras and light,

terial looks particularly well with mis-

TEST OF AN AMERICAN.

a souvenir of his residence in that

Because you get your shoes shined
SO often" was the startling reply. IF
you were an Englishman you wouldn't
do that. Nobody takes such good care
of their shoes as Americans. If it
were not for their daily shine a lot
Of us fellows would have to go out OF
business and the sale of backing and
polish would fail off ore-half. Next
to Americans, Russians get a shine
most frequently. The English are the
worst of all. They get a shine only
once a week. Even when otherwise
well dressed their shoes are gray and
out of shape. If ever you want to
pass yourself off for an Englishman
you'll have to cut out all this polish
ing. With such spick ad span shoes
even an accent that you can cut with
a knife won't carry you through"
