Where Suroery Falls Short.

Where Surgery Falls Short.
"Surgery," said Simeon Ford at
dinner in New York, "accomplishes
wonders nowadays. Hearts are sewed
up; the appendix is removed: the
large intestine is done away with.
But"
The noted humorist smiled.
But will the time ever come when
surgery will be able to remove the
cheek of young man or the jaw of an
old woman ?''-New York Sun.

Encourage tho Boys.
When a boy presents an idea that
is feasible, pat him on the back and
encourage him. and he will develop
love for agriculture and become the
pride Of your heart in your declining
years and will love the homes and

hard to pay for.
If farming has not paid in your case
by all means give the boy q chance

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

.se~ UUOOe0 0OuUbV t01v0 ~ INV
1T is just a year ago that my SIS
ter came over here to US. She had
been here only a few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
sting as If she had sand in them.
Then we used all of the home RENE
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot tea to battle them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
In the light. At last she decided to
go to a doctor. because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said it was very severe disease, and
II she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied elec-
tricity to them. and gave her various
ointments. In the two and half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little i'm
provement.
'Then we had read so much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that we thought we would try it, and
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used it. My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap, and at night
after washing, she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after q month there was no
longer any mucus or watering of the
eyes. She could already see better,
and in six weeks she was cured"

OF Grants Pass Thursday evening de-
clared that the row of grand old To-
Gust trees In front Of the Howard

are admired by all, old and new res
idents.

cording to specifications II the trees

erty protested and the contractor
skipped the frontage until some ac-
tion was taken by the council. That
action came last night, but not with
out two dissenting votes out OF to-
tai of Ave, three councilmen being
absent.
When the question came up las'
evening the councilmen called or
City Attorney Clements for an opin

the property owner had no owner

walk was part of street. He state(
that he, in common with many 9th
