"Hooray for Finland," cry the wom-
an suffragists.. In that country the
women are most enthusiastic for the
ballot-and they are well bred and
nightly educated-not at all like the ag-
gressive 'suffrageutes" who got into
trouble in London. Finland is preparing
to give the franchise to every adult
more than % years old. Further il is
proposed that women shall be eligible
to the popular assembly. and though il
is doubtful women wild be in the ma
jority there. it is likely many will find
seats among the legislators.

feeble women generally, DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is the greatest
earthly boon, being unequaled as an
appetizing cordial and restorative tonic.
AS a soothing and strengthening ner-
vine "Favorte Prescription" is un-
equaled and is invaluable in allaying
and subduing nervous excitabilty, ir-
ritability, nervous exhaustion, nervous
prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms,
St.Vitus's dance, and other distressing,
nervous symptoms commonly attendant
upon functional and organic disease of
the uterus. 1t induces refreshing sleep
and relieves mental anxiety and des-
pondency.
! No woman suffering from any of the
above symptoms can afford to accept
any secret nostrum or medicine of un-
known composition, as q substitute for
a medicine like DR.. Pierces Favorito
Prescription, which is OF KNOWN COM
POSITION and has a record of over forty
years of cures and sells more largely
to-day than ever before. It's makers
withhold no secrets from their patients,
believing open publicity to be the very
best guaranty Of merit.
DR.. Pierce invites all suffering women
to consult him by letter free of charge.
All letters of consultation are held as
strictly private and sacredly confden-

BAKER
OUT OF
BONDAGE
That County Gets Benefit OF
Raised Valuations

Baker City, Jan. 81 (SpeciaD D--
For the first time in 80 years Baker
county will be entirely free from
debt by April 10. 1907. In addition
to this it will have 100000 in its
road fund $4,000 in it's school fund
and money on hand to pay cash for
every dollar of current expense for
the ensuing year. This announce
ment was made this morning by the
county court, which has decided to
levy 16 mill tax which wnl lower
the amount paid by the taxpayers
this year, in comparison with last,
by one and a half mills.
Although the state tax on Baker
county is nearly double this year
what 1t was last the county will paw
every cent of It, will raise the money
for the other funds mentioned and Is
still able, through the sound business
methods employed by the county
court, to lower the sum asked Of the
taxpayers one and a half mills.
Last year the county tax was 80
mills on an assessment roll of $4,-
272,304. the sum of 149,530.64 be-
ing raised This year the assessment
rolls have been doubled and equal
lied totaling sS,632, $50. which, with
a 16 mill levy will require the tax
payers to expend but S13S,121.44.
The county court proposes to clear
off all debt and place the county on
a business basis with s11,409.40 less
than the sum used in n year by tho
old administration. which kept the
people under It's jurisdiction in debt
all of the time.
Another feature of the present con-
dition of the county finances is that
for all of its bic levy last year and
large sum of money raised, the old
administration provided for the pay
ment of only $2.147 on the county
debt which then amounted to almost
100000. They figured on applying
but this mite of the taxpayers money
on the debt and counted on raising
about $4,000 from fines and Ii
censes, an uncertain income at any
time.
When Judge Messick and Commits
sloner Cropp were elected to the
court they applied modern business
methods to the affairs of the county
and in consequence II will be out of
debt and ION velvet" by April OF this
year.
At present the county owes ap-
proximately $4,000. The February
bills will amount to about $4,000 on
account of the session of the circuit
court, the March bills will be ap-
proximately $4,000 and in April the
expenditure OF the court will probt
ably by $500. This will mean
about $4,000 10 be paid up In
April. This will be paid in full and
Baker county for the first time in 80
years will be on a working basis.

what To DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge SO
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and ccalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled TO go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. II stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine

BEST OF PROOF
That Hyomei Will Cure All Forms
of Catarrhal Diseases

Testimonials could be printed by
the thousands, many OF them from
Sank Centre and nearby towns, that
Hyomei is an absolute cure for all
catarrhal troubles, but the best proof
Of it's unusual curative powers is the
guarantee that Hanson & Emerson
give with every outfit that they sell.
"Money back if Hyomei does not dc
all that is claimed for IT."
Hyomei is not d secret remedy. Its
formula is given freely to physicians
who want to know what they use when
they prescribe Hyomei. 1t is guaran-
ed un Ter the Pure Food and Drug
Law by serial No. 1418.
BY breathing Hyomei, the healing
medication goes directly to every
nook and corner of the ar passages
where the catarrhal germs may Turk
and disinfects and heals. To be
convinced Of this you have only to
give it trial, remembering that If it
does not cure, Hanson & Emerson
will refund your money.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but $l00, and in most cases is suffi-
cient 10 cure the disease, making it
not only a scientific treatment but
one that is highly economical. Gel
