SOMETHING FOR THE LADIES.

The past year there has been added to this city ladies'
and ChIdrenS suit house,
There are several places where ladies can have their
shoes polished.
There is yet no ladies' manicure establishment in Sa-
lem
Neither is there ladies' corn doctor or bunion es-
tabShemtn.
Salem would afford business for hair-deSSng eStab-
iShment for ladies',
Salem has many competent dress makers and even good
suit Makers
There is probably room in Salem for frSt-caIss ladies'
tailoring house.
In a recent magazine article it was estimated that it
costs $50 to fix UP modern society woman from polishing
her toenaIS to putting the pink on her finger tips.
Salem is great Women'S town. with Woman'S clubs,
women.
Some of the special services that elsewhere rendered
to society women would find good remuneration here,
Our commercial ladies should interest themselves in Sc
curing these industries for the Capital City,

THE CITY OF GOOD DEEDS.

To build fine streets, fine houses, fine business build
ngS and fine pubic parks constitutes city OF good ddedS.
To maintain good fire department. to provide sewer
SYSTEM to furnish good public lighting SYSTEM and good
water SYSTEM entities city to be called the city OF good
deeds.
All these things are for the health the convenience and
comfort of the people, and constitute this city of good
deeds.
t the city advances on these Ines property advances
In value, houses increase in comfort the citizens improve in
health and Ongvty and that constitutes the city OF good
deeds.
II is remarkable fact than most Of these things which
constitute city of good deeds are the work of the munich
paliU,
The city OF good deeds is sometimes the result Of the
work OF individuals.
The Wilson park the Bregman fountain, the Bush
drinking fountain John Albert taking up the school chidrens
deposits in the Gilbert Brothers bank are all good deeds
The Mrs, E. NJ Waite fountain that is still to be erected
was another addition to the book OF good deeds
There have been cases OF concerted giving, as to Villa
mette University to the Y NJ c, A. to the City Library etc
But there have not in fifty years been any larger public
gifts In the city OF Salem
There Is still room for our city to be further distinguish
ed as the city OF good deeds.
There IS still room for men to distinguish themselves by
adding to the fame Of the city Of good deeds.

PEPPERMINT CAN
Be SUCCESSFULLY
GROWN IN OREGON
Experiments Made on Beaver dam Soil in Washington Con
y Demonstrate this to the Satisfaction of the Officers
in Charge of the Oregon Experiment Station.

That peppermint of a high grade
of quality and capable of producing
a standard grade of oil can be grown
successfully in Oregon for CONNER
cial purposes is evidenced by dem
onstrations made by the U. S. eX-
pertinent station at Corvallis, the re-
suits of which are set forth in a
bulletin by Prof, C. e. Bradley,
chemist, of the station, the text of
which is as follows:
I'm May, 1908, the Michigan eX-
pertinent station shipped, at the re-
quest of the chemical department of
the Oregon station, quantity of well
bred peppermint roots for trial on
the Oregon beaver dam lands. The
roots were planted by Mr.. S. G. Ink
ley of Banks, Washington County, on
typical beaver dam soil where the
plants made an excellent growth dur
ing the past season. A quantity OF
this peppermint has just been tested
by us and a yield of .43 of oil found
on the green plant. This is a good
average yield, and, taken in con-
sideration with the excellent growth
of the plant indicates that the cul-
ture of peppermint would be success
full on the Oregon beaver dam soil.
Three kinds of peppermint are
grown in the United States, Black
Mint (Mentha piperita vulgaris) J.,
American Mint (Mentha piperita0 :,
and White Mint (Mentha piperita Of
ficinialis), The Black Mint is hard
lest, yields more oil and is used
largely by peppermint growers.
White Mint yields a high grade,
much priced oil.
Japan is said to have first culti-
waited the peppermint plant for the
oil and the records show it was
grown in this country before the
Christian era. The plant was also
early cultivated In England and a
fine grade of oil, the 'Mitcham' oil,
is still produced there In 1916 pep
permint was first grown in America
on large scale in Wayne County
New York, which is still a producing
district Later the plant was intro
duced into Michigan and Indiana,
the former state being at present the
largest producer of the oil in this
country.

THE HAPPY MEDIUM OF JUSTICE.

The Supreme Court of Oregon IS criticised for setting
aside convection founded on purely CircumSana evidence
In such cases conviction must be on such complete
proof as to be beyond reasonable doubt.
This is right which any accused man has, to appeal
if he show that there was reasonable doubt as to his
guilt
The state must convict a man fairly and fully or the
Supreme Court will set him free.
In cases of CircumStantia evidence there must be
plain, strong direct chain OF evidence,
There must be no Inference from an inference" no
drawing conclusions because somebody or some newspaper
thinks they ought to be drawn
On the other hand the Supreme Court must Stant out
against the other extreme
Special grand ureS, specially selected trial jueS Spe
Cia pleading poltica trials newspaper convictions must be
discouraged
It is WeI-known fact that probably any grand juror
any trial Juror employed in some of the federal court trials
in Oregon was picked packed instructed, fixed for the sole
purpose OF securing convictions.
Only jurors who would convict we're wanted or such as
would fall In with the theory Of guilt advocated the news
papers.
The charges the accusations brought out before the
grand jury even the testimony to be presented to the trial
jury was all published in advance and directed to secure
conviction.
Thus an atmosphere of conviction was built up in ad-
vance OF the trial which the accused could not escape
No fair trial was possible under such circumstances.
There was complete assumption OF guilt from the start,
1t against such outrage in the name of justice that
Supreme Court should stand
The happy medium is cool deliberate administration
of justice pursued in the regular legal channels.
Newspaper convictions DO not convict in the long run,
Special pleading and special pracSeS do not advance
Justice
The Oregon Supreme Court has preserved happy me-
dunn and has stood for the rights OF citizens to have fair
trial.
For this it has been cenSured in some quarters.
But for this deserves to be upheld by the people

mint in cultivation in the United
States were as follows: Wayne Goun-
ty, N. Y, 121 acres; Michigan, 1915
acres, and Indiana, 204 acres.
In practice the plants are cut and
while green or partly dried are pack
ed into wooded stills and subjected
to live steam. The oil, like all as
sential oils, is carried over with the
steam and after passing through cool
ing pipes collects on top of the con-
densed stteam. A good average yield
is about 80 pounds of oil per acre
though as high as so or 60 pounds
are sometimes obtained.
1T is estimated that it costs from
$40 to $40 an acre to cultivate the
mint and from 25 cents to 35 cents
is the price paid for distilling the oil
at the central distilling plants which
are established in the peppermint
districts. The price realized on the
oil has varied from so cents to So
per pound, with an average price of
probably 50 per pound.
During the past few years there
has been an over-production of the
oil and the small growers have had
to sell at very low figures. Like va
rious farm products, there is consid-
cradle fluctuation in price and no
surety of getting good returns from
every crop. 1t is evident, however,
from this experiment that a large
area of swamp land in our state is
especially adapted to the growth of
peppermint and with a reasonable
price for the product good returns
could be obtained from what is, in
many cases, waste land

Overfatneys Condemned

Fat, or even fattish, women readers who
want to be in the mode this year must un-
derstand that the demand is for lines, not
curves, and govern themselves according
ly
That means OFF with the fat. 1t has
become a duty. Many are trying exercise
or dieting; but 1t is certain they VIII flnd
these methods too slow and unreliable. The
cheapest and safest way to get in form
for the Directoire mode is by means OF
Marmola Prescription Tablets. Any drug
gIst (or the Marmola Company, Detroit,
Mtch.) will give you large-sized case or
these elegant little fat reducers, containing
good, generous supply, for seventy-five
cents, and even this quantity should be
enough to make a decided impression on
your excess fat. Many have lost as much
as a pound a day.
These Marmola Prescription Tablets may
be used with impunity and likewise per-
feet confidence, for, being made strictly
In accordance with the famous Marmola
prescription, they are, of course, quite
harmless They are rather beneficial than
