TESTED AND PROVEN
There is a Heap of SOlace in Being
Able TO Depend Upon a Well
Earned Reputation.

For months Salem readers have
seen the constant expression of
praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and
read about the good work they have
done In this locality. Not another
remedy ever produced such con-
vincing proof of merit.
c. w. Hill, 1917 S. Commercial
St., Salem, Oregon, says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills are by no means a new
remedy to me, as l have used them
off and on for years. have always
enjoyed fairly good health and
about the only thing that has made
me miserable has been kidney COM
plant, and backache. / finally got
Doan's Kidney Pills at DR.. Stones
drug store and their use entirely
cured me. l am firm believer in
the merit Of this remedy and am
pleased to recommend it whenever
an opportunity occurs.
The above statement was given
Jan. 81, 1906 and was confirmed on
Nov. %, 1909 by Mr.. Hill. He said ::
Since Doan's Kidney Pills cured
me of kidney and bladder complaint,
l have had no return attack"

.0LD-TIME REMEDY
DARKENS THE HAIR
Gives Color LuStre to Faded
and Gray Hair-Dandruff
Quickly Removed,

From time immcmoral, sage and sui
Thur have been used for the hair and
scalp. Almost everyone knows of the
value Of such combination for darken-
ing the hair, for curing dandruff and
falling hair, and for making the hair
grow.
In olden times the only way to get a
hair tonic Of this sort was to brew it in
the home fireplace, a method which was
Troublesome and not always satisfactory.
Nowadays almost every up-to-date drug
gi't can supply his patrons with a ready
to-use product, skillfuly compounded in
perfectly equipped laboratories. The
Wycth Chemical Company Of New York
put up an ideal remedy of this sort,
called Wycth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy, and authorize druggists to sell
it under guarantee that the money will
be refunded if it fails to do exactly as
represented.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle. and is
recommended and sold By all druggists.

.SAMtMORRIS
is VISITING
OLD FRIENDS
FAMOUS OLD BALL TOSSERS
CAME UP TO SEE TEABO, WHO
PLAYED WITH HIM-LOSS OF
ARM PUTS HIM OUT OF 1T.

Sam Morris, well known to local
baseball lfans as probably the best
pitcher that ever handled a ball for
the Willamette Valley League, was
in town today renewing acquaint-
ances with old friends. Sam pitched
for the Willamette valley league in
1902, winning rs out of 20 games,
and shutting out the opposing team
in most every game. From Salem
he went to Portland and pitched for
the Portland boys in the Coast
League, and from Portland he went
to the Western League. He made
wonderful record from the start.
His brillant record was cut short
by the loss of his right arm.
Sam came up to see Teabo, his old
friend, who used to catch for him.
From here he will return to his
home in Idaho
This is really an event in local ball
circles, for everybody who ever
looked at a baseball knew and ad-
mired Morris splendid work. The
old battery, Morris and TeabO, were
simply the best that ever handled a
ball in Oregon.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The march
OF civilization, which has resulted in
the introduction of cigarettes and
cigars into the mouths of Chinese
people has also had the effect OF
making them acquainted with anoth-
er Occidental luxury chewing gum.
While gum was formerly totally
unknown to the chinese, recent re-
ports from Hongkong state that one
native firm sold more than $4,000
worth during the past year and that
that delicacy has not only taken
a firm hold on the heather Chlnee. "

THE NEW TAX
COMMISSION
IN SESSION

Whether to model law after the
existing taxation laws and assess
both real and personal property, or
to adopt the law passed by the Wis
consin legislature during its last ses-
sion and abolish the assessment of
personal property and substitute in its
stead an income tax, was the question
about which the discussion reyolved
at the meeting of the tax commission
appointed by the last legislature to
cooperate with the state tax commits
sion, held at the state house yesterday
for the purpose of framing law on
taxation, so that 1t may be submitted
to the voters at the next general cleo
tion.
The commission convened at IL
o'clock in the forenoon, but nothing
was done beyond organizing, Charles
Galloway of the state tax commission
being elected chairman, and c. l..
starr, secretary of the same commits
sion, being elected secretary. In the
afternoon the members settled down
to a discussion of problems confront
ing them, but an adjournment was
taken without any definite action. The
future meeting is subject to call of
the chairman, and when it is held a
general taxation law will be decided
upon and drafted.
Here's the Rub.
The tangible personal property this
year amounted to $211, 100000, about
25 or 80 per cent of the whole assess
ment $9l1,0OO,00O. The intangible
personal property tax amounts to
about A. per cent of the whole tax.
Should the commission adopt the
Wisconsin law all Of this personal
property would be exempt, and the
income tax take its place. An income
exemption of $500 would be given to
adults and 5000 to minors.
1t is contended that the change
would not make any difference in the
amount Of taxation, and the feature of
the question upon which the commits
sion was divided was whether it
would be easier to ascertain a mans
income than his personal property.
Between now and the next meeting
the members will have considered this
phase of the question, and should
they decide 1t is easier to ascertain
a mans income than personal prop
erty the former will likely be Substi-
tuted for the latter.
The commission also considered the
inheritance tax and some seem in
clined to think the rate was too low,
and that the collecting Of It should
be placed in the hands of the tax
commission instead OF the state treas
urer as Is now the case

Uncle sam Roadmnkcrs.

Washington, Aug. 25.-This is the
title which our paternal uncle will
soon be wearing If the plan fostered
by Representative Floyd j. King
Democrat, La.,) and embodied in n
bill recently introduced in congress
by Senator Cullom, Republican,
Ill., obtains the sanction OF the ma
tlonal legislature, This bill provides
for the inauguration of Seven ma
tlonal highways, radiatlng from
Washington to the furthermost parts
OF the country. The estimated cost
OF these seven roads will be $14S,-
900, but It is thought that the
great benefits derived from their use
Will more than counterbalance the
cost OF their b Hiding.
According to the Klng-Cullom bill,
II Is proposed to have the seven roads
nave n common terminus at Washing
ton, and radiate out over the coun-
try to Portland Me-; Buffalo, N. Y;
Seattle, Wash; San Francisco, Cal. /,
san Diego, Cal; Austin, Tex, and
Miami Fla. These will be called, re-
spectlyely, the Washington National
Highway, the Roosevelt National
Highway; the Lincoln National High
way, the Jefferson National High
way, the Grant National Highway
the Monroe National Highway and
the Lee National Highway, thus hon
orlng seven OF the greatest of our
heroes of history.
II Is expected that these seven
roads will give total lengh of H.
600 miles, which, at least, will cost
about $4,000 mile, will bring the
aggregate cost to nearly $150,OOO,.
600. II Is proposed that the money
for their construction be raised by
the issue of bonds as In the case OF
the Panama canal, and that the
maintenance cost of the roads be
paid by a toll, as In operation In
many parts of the country today.
The bill also provides for the ap-
pointment OF commission, TO be
known as the National Interstate
Highway and Good Roads Commits
sion, which will determine the loca-
ton and cost OF the seven roads.
An immediate appropriation OF So
100000 is provided for the prepara-
uon of maps, the making Of surveys
and other work which has to be dis
posed of before the actual building
OF the road Is commenced. AZ the
head OF the commission, as provided
by the BILL would be the president
the rest OF the committee to be made
up OF the secretary OF agriculture,
the secretary OF war, seven members
OF congress Ave private citizens,
seven engineers from the army and
seven from private life.
According to present plans the
only states which will not be
touched by the proposed roads viii
bo Vermont, Michigan. Wyoming.
Oregon, Missouri and Kansas. Ii is
probable, however, that the present
plans will be changed so as to include
Ut least part OF these states In the
routes.
