Portland. March 11.-With the de.
termination Of the National Millers'
Federation to observe the rulings of
DR.. Wiley regarding the bleaching of
flour, local mlllers have decided to
stop all bleaching of flour which goes
into interstate trade or in Alaska. The
law prohibits the bleaching of flour
at this time but some millers are tax.
ing chances and continue the practice
Bluestem wheat continues to show
a good demand even at the high values
now in effect Yesterday there was a
sale in the north at s1.20 a bushel
and reports of a still higher price but
none of the local buyers can confirm
anything above that figure.
Coarse grains are gathering firm
ness both for spot and and future de-

there was an advance of ~ cents a

MANY PEOPLE
ARE TRYING i
LOCAL DRUGGISTS ARE
KEPT VERY BUSY
No Sufferer of Kidney Trouble or
Rheumatism Should Leave 1t I'm
tried-Get the Ingredients from Any
Good Pharmacy and Mix Them
Yourself.

That the readers of this paper ap.
preciate advice when given in good
faith is plainly demonstrated by the
fact that one well-known local phar-
macy supplied the ingredients for the
vegetable prescription" many times
nouncement of this simple harmless
mixture has certainly accomplished
much in reducing the great many
cases of kidney complaint and rheu-
matism here relieving pain and mis-
cry, especially among the older pop
ulation, who are always suffering
more or less with bladder and urinary
troubles, backache and particularly
rheumatism.
Another well-known druggist asks
us to continue the announcement of
the prescription. 1t is doing so much
real good here, he continues, that il
would be a crime not to do so. 1t
can not be repeated too often, and
further states many cases of remark
able cures wrought.
The following is the prescription, of
simple ingredients. making a harm
less. inexpensive compound, which
any person can prepare by shaking
well in a bottle: Fluid Extract Dan
delion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Any first
class drugstore will sell this small
amount of each ingredient, and the
dose for adults is one teaspoonful to
be taken after each meal and again
at bedtime There is enough here to
last for one week, II taken according
to directions Good results will be ap-
parent from the first few doses.

11.-There was an increase in the
dullness in. cattle demand today; in
fact there was scarcely any demand
| at all. Packers wants still are of a
nominal nature and today for the first
time they were neglectlng even the
better class of steers. One load of
excellent stuff was carried over from
yesterday on this account. The mar
ket seems to be In a most peculiar
condition at the moment. Packers,
with their quite liberal holdings of
surplus stock are not in the market.
They are not inclined to hit the price
because they would affect their own
holdings Of high priced goods and
still they are unable to take on any
more supplies at the moment.
One or two of the handlers seem
to see a light ahead for the market,
but to most interests any indication
Of an immediate improvement is in
visible to the naked eye. Some very
good steers were sold today at IS,
and better stuff at $50. Some sales
reported today were made yesterday,
some as high as S5.25, but this price
was not reached for anything today.
Hogs Slightly Lower.
While there is no severe pressure
in the local hog situation, the buyers
are not inclined to pay the previous
top for supplies There has been too
much poor stuff in evidence of recent
day and this has had a tendency TO
lower the value for best stuff To-
days top sales in the hog market
were around $40 but 1t may still be
impossible to squeeze 1925 out of
buyers for something select There
fore the general range OF hog quota.
tions shows no change in this report
today.
Sheep market showed small arriv-
ais today, a total of 100 head coming
forward. but trade is not of healthy
character and except for lambs and
some extra select quality the market
is about 25c lower
Dressed Meats in Demand.
Dressed meats are selling freely I'M
the local market at this time. While
more veal is coming forward the price
along Front street remains very high
and up to 10c n pound is obtainable
for best quality. Dressed hogs are
rather slow in coming forward and as
there has only been nominal move
ment in the stockyards of live stuff
prices on Front street stand stretched.
Potatoes Advance.
AS high as $40 per hundred
pounds has been paid for extra select
potatoes at country shipping points
by buyers who ship to the south. The
tone Of the market at San Francisco
is quite good and this has induced
some buyers to offer more for extra
select quality which is showing much
the best demand in the south. Cali
fornia seems willing to pay very good
prices for carefully selected potatoes
but the ordinary stuff receives no
more than II is worth in proportion
to other grades. At country shipping
points S1.35 is being freely offered for
first class stock; this being an ad-
vance of 10c per hundred pounds ov-
er the quotations of the past week
There remains a very quiet tone
in the onion market both here and
in the south and quotations are there

crease of cancer during the last 10
years is attributed to sunlight and
modern hygienic conditions is the as
tonishing theory advanced by. DR..
Watkins Pitchford, the government
pathologist of Natal, who says cancer
is found to be more prevalent among
those exposed to actinic stimulation
and dwellers besides lakes and rivers,
agricultural laborers and masons. The
doctor goes on to suggest that the very
conditions nowadays regarded as most
hygienic and healthful really favor
the development of cancer, and in this
connection he says that the increase
of cancer within the last 75 years is
perhaps due to the diminished pro-
lection from light and increased ex-
posure of illumination.
Woolen garments largely have been
replaced by cotton and black and
brown clothes for those of a lighter
color. Narrow streets and dark
houses are no longer tolerated and
suburban life largely has replaced that
in the city.
Artificial illumination has become
greatly more actinic," says DR.. Pitch
ford. "and the manifest deduction
from the principles l have advanced
is that cancer is preventable by effici-
ent protection of the body from light.
The natural projections such as hair
on the head should be encouraged,
while clothing must be absolutely light
