When and How the
Body PoiSOnS Itself

The underlying cause of much head
ache, particularly migraine, or sick
headache. bilious attacks, vertigo. or
dizziness, is intestinal auto-intoxica-
ton. This process, recognized only in
recent years, Is the absorption into
the blood of poisons produced in the
intestines from the residue of food.
The two most prominent factors in
causing this condition are constipa-
tion and excessive meat eating. 1t
can therefore be largely avoided by
care in the diet and the use of a laxa-
tive which will clear away the fer
menting residue of food which is gen.
Grating the poisons.
Pinklets, the new laxative, are ad-
mirably suited to protect the body
against the dangers of auto-intoxica-
ton for they gently assist nature and
do not grippe or purge. Harsh purga-
tives leave the system in a worse
condition than they find 1t but Pink
let's give just the stimulation to the
organs of excretion that is needed
to produce natural action and If they
are used regularly for a time they
will really correct constipation.
Your druggist sells Pinklets or they
will be sent, postpaid. on receipt of
price, % cents per bottle, by the DR..

To Discard Freckles,
Tan, Pimples, Wrinkles

The use of creams on the face some
times causes hair to grow. You can
avoid the risk of acquiring superf1uous
hair by avoiding cosmetics and using
mercolized wax instead. There is moth
ing better for any condition of the skim
as the wax actually absorbs the offensive
cuticle. The latter is naturally replaced
by a clear, smooth. healthy complexion,
full of life and expression. It's the SEN
sible way to discard a freckled, tanned,
over-red, blotchy or ptmpled skin. Get
an ounce of mercolized wax at any
druggists and apply nightly like cold
cream, erasing in the morning with soap
and water. 1t takes week or SO to
complete the transformation.
The ideal wrinkle eradicator Is made
by dissolving an ounce of powdered sax
olite In a half pint witch hazel Bath
ing the face in the solution brings almost
instantaneous results.-Ady. "

RICHMOND
Fire in Three-Story Brick Block
On Main Street Does
About a $4,000
Damage
TEN.CENT STORE AND r. OF
p. HALL DAMAGED

Fire was discovered about o'clock
Wednesday morning in the three-story
brick block on Main street owned by
William H. Stuart. People living near
were awakened by the noise of glass
breaking on the concrete sidewalk and
looking out saw flames shooting into
the air 90 or 30 feet from the second
story windows. The cause of the fire
is rot known but thought to have
been the work of rats and matches, as
it seemed to have caught in the front
office formerly occupied by Spaulding
as law office, but which had been
vacant for many years. The street
floor was occupied by William Sloms'
s. and 10-cent store. On the third floor
was the knights Of Pythias hall. A
meeting was held there Tuesday eve
ming but was over by o'clock.
1t is estimated that from $4,000 to
$4,000 damage was done on the build
ing which was covered by insurance.
The insurance on the knights of
Pythias hall had recently run out.
The s. and Decent store stock, own
ed by William Slom, was badly dam
aged mostly by water and smoke.
oss covered by insurance.
The brick building was surrounded
by wooden buildings and the firemen
did excellent work keeping the fire
confined in the Stuart block. The new
MOBILES recently purchased by the fire
department were a great aid in fight
ing the fire, as il made the stream of
water much more powerful than the
old kind. K. of P. meeting will prob
ably be held in Masonic hall next
Tuesday evening.

SCARED OF THE COLONEL,

Oregonan Amid all the clamor of
war in Europe the policy of peace, apol-
ogy and paying of blackmail to every
little nation which thinks it has a griev
ance against the United States has suf-
fered setback. Secretary Bryan has
abandoned all attempts to secure rati-
fication of the Colombian and Near
aguan treaties at this session of Con-
gress, and has thus sidestepped trouble.
The trouble was to have come from
Colonel Roosevelt That gentleman ask
ed to be heard by the Senate COM
m'ttee on foreign relations against the
Colombian treaty. He made the request
as the president under whose direction
the acts were done of which Colombia
complained, asserting that mo man now
living has as complete first hand know
ledge of what was done" Knowing tina
the Colonel would furnish some valuable
ammunition to the opponents of the
treaty, Chairman Stone tried to deprive
him of the opportunity. AT a meeting
of the committee. which could not act
for lack OF a quorum, the Senator pre-
sented the Cooners letter and intimat-
ed that the Colonel "has nothing to
say that he has not said already and
tndt IL was not WORTH Wnlle TO near
him. Then the senator's trouble be-
gan. He could not well refuse hearing
to an ex-President, particularly one who
had been the object of attack, who
asked to be heard in the defense and
who rightly claimed to know more than
any other man in this country about the
subject in hand. But he did not wish
the Colonel to have his say for the
Colonel might remind the Senate and
the people of some facts which the
Democratic leaders had overlooked or
kept in the background. though he might
not tell anything new The Colonel.
too has a most forcible way of saving
things, which catches the public ear and
which makes his sayings stick in the
public memory. True, the committee
hearing would be nomially secret, but
Mr.. Stone knows to his sorrow how
nominally 1t would be so. when senators
are such notorious blabs. He shud-
dered at the thought that his com
mittee might be made the vehicle thru
which the colonel would fire a blast de-
structive to tine treaty. to the reputa
ton as statesman of Mr.. stones dear
friend. Mr. Bryan, and TO the hopes of
continued Democratic supremacy. BY
all means the colonel must be "choked
off," Therefore, it was announced. with
the Presidents acquiescence. that the
Senate Democratic leaders had abandon
ed all hope of ratification now and
would postpone consideration of the
treaties until next session. The colonel
could not be denied a hearing. but he
was thus denied an opportunity to
speak until after election.
Since that announcement was made
Mr. Stone has been kept in a constant
state of irritation by those who have
