The Simple Prescription for Home Made Mixture Re-
peated That Every Sufferer May Benefit, as
Only Good Can Result

That the readers of this paper ap-

fact that one well known local phar-
macy supplied the ingredients for the

much in reducing the great many

When z. z. Calvin was general man
ager OF the Oregon Railway and Navi-
CATION company he observed from his
car. which was pulling out of Hunt
ington one day. little old man racing
down the track and making desperate
signals for the train TO stop.
Calvin pulled the bell cord and
brought the train to stop. believing
that something important prompted
the man to make so great an effort
TO board the cars. He was e small.
weazened old fellow, and clambered
on to Calvin's coach, laid his bag on
a seat, and wiped his brow.
Il see you made the train said
Calvin.
"Ah, am glad / did" replied the old
man. you see when 1 left home my
wife kept telling me that I would lose
this train, and / said 1 wouldn't. Now
IL I had lost II I'd have been afraid
to go home. Ny wife is a powerful
talker when she gets started. but

ing to Naval Officers.
Converse Says Hill and Sims Fur.
nishcd Source of Recent Maga-
zinc Article.
THE REUTERDAHL ARTICLES.

Washington, Feb. 26.-Experts IN
naval constructions - Rear Admiral
Converse. retired, president of the
board of construction, and Rear Ad-
miral Capps, chief of the bureau of
construction and repair-were before
the senate committee on naval affairs
in investigation of the charges
against the navy made by Henry Reu-
terdahl in a recent magazine article.
The charges were taken up in order
that they appeared in the article and
at the conclusion of the extended refu
tatlons by Admiral Converse it was
stated that the apologies of the COM
mittee were due the officers for hav-
ing called them to answer such
charges. Chairman Hale assented to
this view and no member of the com
mittee took issue.
This incident at the conclusion of
the first days proceedings is thought
to indicate that the inquiry will be
short.
The development of principal inter
est in the testimony of Converse was
that two of the charges made by Reu-
terdahl were in language similar to
that used by Lieutenant Commander
Sims, naval aide TO the president, and
Lieutenant Commander Hill on duty
with the general board of the navy,
in articles which they prepared and
submitted to the secretary of the navy
at his request.
He disclaimed any purpose TO indi-
cate that these articles or statements
of the officers had been inspiration
for Reuterdahls attack upon the
navy. Nevertheless, these officers
are to be called before the committee
in the lear future
Secretary Metcalf will also be a
witness. At the navy department dur
ing the day Lieutenant Commander
Hill submitted to Secretary Metcalf
his reply TO questions addressed him
and Sims as to their knowledge of the
source of information alleged to have
been furnished writer's who criticised
the construction features of the navy.
Hin declines to discuss his reply.
During the Converse testimony ii
was developed. that iReuterdahl is now
with the battleship fleet on its cruise
to the Pacific, having been permitted
to start on the voyage before the pub
lieation of his article.

HOW TO DO 1T.
Anyone Can Make Some Easy Money
II They win Only Follow This
Mans Advice.

There is no denying. the fact that
the musicians life is an easy one, ana
It is getting more so every day. They
are well paid and well treated, which
is Justly due them. There is no other
trade which compels you to pay foi
your experience. When you start to
learn any other profession you receive
a salary right from the start. Not so
with the musician. He must pay for
his knowledge, and it is only right
that he should receive good pay for
his services afterward. Would You
like to be musician? You can. All
YOU have to do Is give few moments
of your spare time each day to prac-
tlce.
There Is no one who has not some
talent for music. Some have more
than others. They make artists. You
may make an artist.
