COURT
HOUSE
NEWS

There is a large attendance of the
taxpayers at the court house Many
complain at higher taxes. while few
seem to get OF cheaper. This is
largely the result Of increased waltz
atlons, aud but one more assessment
will be required to get things equal
lied.
The regular March term of the
county commissioners court will be
held Wednesday. The commission
ers will be in the city Tuesday and
meet with Architect Knighton. and
try to agree on the court house im-
provements. The county authorities
will do well to keep down the ex-
pense to actual necessities. Indlca-
tions are that the taxes next year
will be much higher than this year
on account of the extravaganza of
the legislature, and II this county
could carry over a good surplus the
levy would be kept down. The Jour
nal believes that, by utilizing the
sheriffs quarters, and making the
basement of the court house deeper.
putting In a concrete floor and bet
ter sanitary arrangements, the need
ed Jail room could be obtained with
out adding wings to the building.
There is more vault room needed for
some OF the offices. But the elevator,
Offices on the third floor and lavator-
les and all fancy hxings should be
postponed to some future day.
About $4,000 outlay ought to put
the court house in fine shape.
Judge Galloway will be here TO
hold court on Wednesday. On Tues
day at a. m. deposltions will be
taken in the case of Sears VS.. Dunbar
before II. ID. Allen. county clerk, in

Should Live 100 Years
SIR JAMES CREIGHTON BROWNS
OPINION

Sir James Crichton Brown, of Eng
land, at the congress of the Royal
Institute of Public Health in London,
gave a lecture on old age. He states
that IL every person should live right
and take the proper care, to live one
hundred years would be a matter of
course.
There is no excuse for feebleness
at the age of fifty. sixty or even
seventy. In every person there is a
constant change taking place in the
system, and just so long as the sup
ply equals or exceeds the waste, just
so long will old age be warded of.
When one finds their energies flag
ging, the organs acting slowly and
less effectually. the blood sluggish,
and in fact feel DID," then there is
nothing known to medicine that will
restore elasticity to the step. bright
ness to the eyes, vigor to brain and
muscle. and strength to every organ
in the body so surely as our real cod
liver preparation, Vinol.
Vinol contains in concentrated
form all of the medicinal body-build-
ing elements of cod liver oil actually
taken from fresh Gods liver. the use
less oil eliminated and tonic iron
added.
We ask every old person In Salem
to try vinol on our offer to return
money is not satisfied G. w. Put
man Co., druggists.
Note.-While we are sole agents
for Vinol in Salem, 1t is now for sale
at the leading drug store in nearly
every town and city in the country.

SKETCH OF VICTOR MErCALF.

Victor II. Metcalf, secretary of the
navy of the United States, was born
in Utica, n. Y, October 10, 1853, and
was educated in the Utica Free Acad-
emy and at the Russell Military
Academy of New Haven. He enter
ed Yale in 1876, but left in his
junior year to enter the law school,
from which he graduated the same
year.
Following his graduation Mr. Met
calf was admitted to practice in the
supreme court of Connecticut and the
following year was admitted to prac-
tice in the supreme court of New
York. For two years Mr. Metcalf
practiced in Utica, and then moved
to Oakland, California. In his new
home he gained eminence as an at
torney, and was connected with some
of the most noted cases ever tried in
the courts of California.
In 1898 he was elected a represen-
tative in congress from the Third dis
trict of California, and was twice re-
elected In 1904 President Roosevelt
appointed him as secretary of the
newly-created department of COM
merce and labor, and his services In
that department made such an i'm
preston upon the president that
when a vacancy in the secretaryship
of the navy occurred Mr.. Metcalf was
promptly offered the portfolio.
