REMOVE THEl CAUSE.
How 10 Remedy Much of the
Suffering In Grants Pass.

There is hardly family in Grants
Pass where there are not one or more
members who suffer at times fronst the
effects Of a weak stomach.
4 1t may he that this occurs only after
eatiug.food that does mot agree, or
because of a supper late at night; OF
it may be that the stomach is so weak
that scarcely any food can be eaten
without pain and distress.
The only way to treat conditions Of
this kind succ esstully is with Mi.o-na.
1t removes the cause of indigestion,
weakness of the muscles of the stomach
and bowels, and restores the whole
digestive system to health and
strength so that it takes care Of all
the food that is eaten.
se..Get well and strong by using
Mi.o-ns tablets. Take the remedy at
the first symptoms of indigestion,
when you can be cured easily with a
few doses. However, no case Of
stomach trouble is too severe or
chronic for Mi-o.na to overcome.
Demsrays sell it under an absolute
guarantee to refund the money unless
1t cures. y 5O-cent box lasts for a
couple Of weeks, sud will do more
zeal good than a dozen boxes Of the
ordinary digestive tablets. 4.l0 2t

/. Wherever saloon pays one
dollar Of our taxes, it produces the
necessity for the ilevying of con-
siderably larger amount. The saloon
causes the astounding Expense. .of

4. There is now on hand in all
parts Of this country, and Of other
countries, one of those waves Of fnan
cisl depression which have struck the
world periodically ever since money
was made. This present wave began
in New York City, and is still felt
there most severely. Surely no one
would say New York is without
saloons. or ever has been. The truth
is, local option districts are, as a rule,
witbstanding the depression better
than saloon districts
The above arguments are made on q
business b'sis only. Should we con-
slider all the misery caused by intoxi-
cants, so much the stronger beyond
the possibility of language TO express
it, would be the argument against
saloons.

REFOR MERS.

For the past year and more, any
crank or fakir who started out in
the name of reform, has been able
TO fool the people. We do not re-
member single failure. And the
bigger fool thing the reform is,
and the more impudent the CRATER
who works il, the more success it
attains. 1t has become a cardinal
sin even to criticise any of these
faker reformers A part of the peo-
pie have been fooled all the time
and all Of the people part Of the
time by the arrogant and brazen
claims Of these reformers. They
have not confined themselves to
any particular field of work, but
have worked them all. Most of
them are now for the most part
disgraced and discredited. There
are more left in politics, perhaps
than in any other field. And they
are not confined to anv one party.
In finance we have had Tom Law
son. and he has been more honest
than most of them, for when he
had fooled everybody that could be
fooled, he admitted he was taxing.

Rheumatism causes more pai

Rheumatism causes more pain
and suffering than any other dis

most common of all ills, and it is
certainly gratifying to sufferers to
know that Chambeilain's Linimcnt
will afford relief, and make rest
and sleep possible. In many cases
the relief fIom pain, which is at
first temporary, has become perma-
nent. while in old people subject to
chronic rheumatism often roug t

weather, permanent cure cannot
be expected; the relief from pain
which this liniment affords is alone

MEDICAL APPRENTICESHIP.

The public has been long suffer
ing and gullible in the matter OF
quacks and quackery. This seems
a little strange in view Of the value
Of life, and the fact that reput-
sble physician charges no more.
eiten not SO much. as the doctor
who has ga ned license to practice
by buying diploma from some OF
the worthless institutions which
sell sheepskins by the yard. The
plumber who hasn't faithfully
served his required apprenticeship
at the trade is sure TO find himself
ont Ola job. and there is no de.
mand for the carpenter who cannot
build house. Tie lawyer who
knows no law must resort to poll
tics or other doubtful means Of
support so his advice is not valued
by parties engaged in legal dis
putes. But in the practice of medi-
cine. the most important profession,
it has been possible for doctors who
have gained their knowledge OF
surgery and medicine from but
cher shop and dive works to grow
rich in their chosen calling. This(
has been expensive to the public in !
life, health and money and thereI

The quack has also been draw

Several Merchants In This Section
Victims of Collection Co.

Merchants in this section of the
State We're mulcted out of various
sums of money on account of the COL
lapse of the National Mercantile Co.
of Boston, of which Cardenio F. King
is said to have been one Of the pro-
moters and over which there was a
receivers hearing in the court at Port
land Tuesday.
This concern did collection busi-
ness and an agent would call on sew
eral of the merchants in city and
solicit trade. The merchant would be-
come a member of the concern by pay
ing fee of 81 and then he would give
his bills to the agent for collection.
Ii collections have been made no re-
turns We're ever made as far as is
known in the majority of cases to tn.
persons owning the bills. Several bust
ness men in Augusta, Gardiner, Hal
lowell and Randolph, gave bills TO this
concern for collection. 81
Ellis w. Church offtfis city 'saiu'
Yesterday yes, 1 remember the
company very well. About six years
ago an agent came into the store and
explained his scheme to me. l paid
him 50 for membership and gave him
some bills, to the amount of about $40,
as l remember it, the company to have
a small commission for the collections.
I don't know whether collections were
ever made or not, but I do know that
| never received any return.
Virgil E. Trouant, a member of the
firm of Trouant & Bates, undertakers,
said his firm gave some bills for COL
lection to the National Mercantile Co.
for collection but he never heard from
the concern or the bills.
Augusta concerns who gave bills to
this company were f. L. Jersey, DR..

firms in this section who also gave
bills to the concern were as follows:
