EMINENT PHARMACISTS
Everywhere Acknowledge the Su-
periority of Vinol.

Ii one person more than another
should know the value of medicine
it is the retail pharmacist.
For this reason such testimony as
the following should be convincing.

gist of Charleston, w Va, writes:

of my family, and have never been
disappointed in the results. II il a
pleasure to sell remedy that gives
such universal satisfaction.
Mr.. Chas +. Rogers, Druggist, of
Elkton, Ky, writes II consider
Vinol one of the best remedies in my
store, and sell more of it than any
one medicine. | have also used vi
mol in my family with excellent re
suits
Mr.. J. +. Bradley of New Bruins
wick, n. j., writes at is pleasure
to recommend the cod liver prepare
ton, Vinol, as it gives such splendid
satisfaction. AS have used it IN my
family, can recommend it from eX r
perience.o
The reason Vinol is so far superior
to old fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions is because it contains all
the medicinal, body building ele-
ments of cod liver oil actually taken
from fresh Gods livers with all the
useless oil eliminated and peptonate .
of-iron added.
As a body builder and strength ere

CAUSE AND CURE:
Of APPENDICITIS
THE SIMPLE REMEDY
THAT EFFECTS THE CURE

Professor Blanchard of the French Academy
of Medicine has spent great amount OF time
studying that dread disease pendIcitls. In
company with Professor Metchnikon, he has
carefully examined numerous cases, and both
have reached the conclusion that the cure Is not
the knife. In more than forty cases the symp-
toms of Appendicitis disappeared after the
pate nts had been tire ated for worms
There are, no doubt, many persons suffering
from worms who enormously attributing
their trouble to some other cause. few doses
ofDr. True's Elixir are sufficient in most cases
for the complete expulsion OF the worms.
The presence of these parasites is easily recog.
nized by the following symptoms Indigestion;
foul tongue; offensive breath variable appetite;
hard and full belly with occasional grpings and
pains aboutth navel; heavy, dull eyes; itching
Of the nose; short dry cough; grinding of the
teeth: starting during sleep; slow and frequent
fever in children -convulsions and bed wetting
Or. True's Elixir will not only expel the
WORMS, but will build UP the whole system as
well.

In 1904, a field on the Mauley
farm, Augusta, which measures ex-
actly S.83 acres, produced only five
tons of poor hay, it being completely
bound out by witch grass. In Au-
gust of that year, it was we'll har-
rowed with Clark getaway harrow
heavily MANFRED, plowed and laid
down to rye. In the spring of 1905
the rye was well narrowed in with a
Clark cutaway harrow, the field was
then plowed again, MANFRED and
cutaWay narrowed and laid down to
barley. In the fall of 1905, heavy
crop of barley was taken off, the bar
ley stubbIe was thoroughly narrowed
in with the getaway harrow, the field
was then plowed and narrowed with
a cutaway harrow until it was thor
oughly pulyerized to depth of y
inches. In the spring of 1906, it was
laid down to grass, timothy and red
top, being soWn with very small
proportion of alsike. August &, 1906
grass was cut on this piece, and q
two horse loads were taken off. In
May, 1907, this piece was top dressed
with a mixture at the rate of 52E
pounds to the acre, which was applied
with Worcester Kemp manure
spreader. This mixture was made az
follows: 175 pounds of Nitrate Soda
$50 pounds Acid Rock, 100 pounds
Muriate Potash. In 1907, the grass
was cut On this field, 40 two horse
loads being taken off Exactly one
half, or twenty loads, of this crop was
stored by itself in one barn. This LOT
of hay was pressed in February, 1908
and weighed IL tons, 1857 pounds, OF

They are Of such fine ivory that they
can oe made into watch charms and

brighter luster and are as rich in tint
as the best tusks that ever came out
Of an African elephants head. The
teeth alone are worth from 80 to 81

square inch of hide makes a covering

more attractive finish than most

THE RATE HEARING.

At the present time grain rate
hearing is on in this city. The state
railroad commission is in session here
and it is to pass upon the justice of
the grain rates now charged by the
o. r. & y. company.
As to the merits of the case now
before the commission the East Ore
gonian does not care to express it's
self. because it has not investigated
the subject sufficiently.
But in a general way this much is
known: That rates have been too
high. This is not surprising be-
cause the fixing of rates has been
left entirely with he railroad compa-
MES 1t is rule of business to charge
that which can be secured. Railroad
owners cannot be blamed for doing
this so long as they are allowed to
do so.
But railroads are semi-public cor
porations. In the railroad business
the transportation men are in part
nership with the public. The people
are entitled to equitable rates. It
was to secure justice between the
railroad companies and the public
that the railroad commission was Gre
ated.
The three men who compose the
state commission have a high respon-
sibillty. They are judging between
very concrete personality in tn.
form of the railroad company on one
side and what is largely an abstrac.
tion-the people-upon the other,
Ey the nature Of things the public
cannot be as we'll represented before
the commission as can the transpor-
tation company. This is a fact the
commissioners should always bear in
mind. It should influence them to do
their best towards performing their
duty. which is to secure absolute jus
tice between the railroad company
and its patrons.

PENDLETON GROWS.

In the election last June Pendleton
cast 1850 votes upon the subject Of
prohibition. Tuesday the combined
Taft Bryan vote amounted to 1881.
Then aside from this, perhaps so
votes were cast for socialists, prohl-
biion and independence candidates.
This is a showing over which the
people Of Pendleton should feel good.
:. shows that the population Of the
city IS gradually increasing. While
some transients voter here Tuesday
there can be no doubt but that there
was a larger floating vote last June
and the liquor issue brought out a
heavier local vote than did the pres
idency.
Times are good in Pendleton and
the fact cannot be truthfully denied
business is good and the population
IS increasing. Though no recent CEN
sus has been taken this fact is proven
By the 20 per cent increase in the
school attendance and by the in
creased vote that has just been cast

THE PRESIDENT-ELECT.

William H. Taft will make good
president. There is little room for
doubt about this point He is per-
sonally a worthy citizen. Even dur
ing the heat of the campaign few at
tacks We're made upon his personal
character.
The main objection to Mr.. Taft,
from his political opponents, was that
he was backed by improper influen-
ces and that he was not as much en-
titled to the presidency as was Mr.,
Bryan.
But the decision has been given.
Taft won in a contest that was fair
and free, as far as he was concerned
at least Since he has been elected it
would be wrong to detract from his
glory
When a man is chosen to a high
office people Of all classes should
withhold passing judgment upon him
until he has shown what he will do
This the East Oregonian proposes
to do. It hopes that as president Mr.
Taft will do good work and will
bring about some Of the reforms
which honest people Of all parties
desire. There is no doubt but that
Mr.. Taft is better than many within
his party He personally favored
publishing the republican campaign
funds prior TO the election. He evil
IDENTIFY did not care for the support
Of STANDARD oil. although he had it.
II is 10 be hoped that the next four
years will show that Rockefeller made

he becomes sorry for his vote there
Will be thousands who will rejoice at

THE FRIENDLY NIGHT

Night falls and darkness comes apace;
The earth in mystic shadow lies;
a veil hath covered Natures face,
And seems to hide her eyes.
The fading light tiptoes away;
The laggard hours softly creep,
AS with the passing of the day
The world is hushed in sleep.
A vast, sweet stiffness covers all;
A quietude unvexed and blest
Now sounds a scarcely whispered call
That summons us to rest.
Gateway to dreams, Gone care and
pain;
Gone sorrow, sighs; gone tears and
blight
Pathway from Light to Light again
Gods blessings on thee. Night,
