DIR. Lesser, of Health De-

That Boom Cures.
EDUCATION ONLY CAN
STOP EVIL, HE SAYS
Praises Tribune's Fight on Pat
ent Medicines Federal Act Is
Called Good, but Inadequate.

"Thcrc IL not patent medicine on
the market worth the powder TO blow
it to kingdom come" was the opening
sentence in n lecture on quack nos
trums by Dr.. o. NJ Lesser. of the
Health Departments Bureau OF Public
Health Education lie spoke yesterday
afternoon at meeting of the Women s
Municipal League Il West Thirty-nnth
Street.
Patent medicines Kill 100000 people
"a wear" continued Or. Lesser, "silply
because II is 80 easy TO get them before
the public The New York Tribune is
the only morning paper IN New orN
that does not carry patent medicige
advertisements. In one issue OF New
York evening paper there were two and
half pages of advertising OF worthless
or fraudulent medicines.
1--WE are all indebted to Samuel Hop
kins Adams for his work. 1t IS by
education, education and more educa-
tion that we can be rid OF patent medl-
cines.
"The Federal pure food and drug act
does good, but il is inadequate. IL does
not prevent fraudulent advertisements,
nor the use of poisons. 1t only re-
auires that they be named on the label.
That means nothing to the general
public.
"Orangeine. Bromo-Seltzer and 9TH
ers contain acetanilid, which depresses
the heart and is habit forming. have
five hundred death certificates which
show that death was caused by acute
acetanilid poisoning from such head
ache cures. There is Stearn's Head
ache Cure, whose advertisements claim
it to be Speedy, Certain and Safe
Three lies.
"Then come consumption cures.
Here are such fakes as Hills Consump-
tion Cure, Eckman's Alternative, made
by a horse doctor; Dufy's Malt Whis-
key. which is rotten whiskey sweetened
with cane sugar. and our old friend
Piso's Consumption Cure, now calling
itself Piso's Cure for Coughs and
Colds.

solution Of quinine. The delightful
quartet OF fakes Lydia Pinkham.
Paine's Celery Compound, Ninol and
Iiostetter's Bitters contain from 10 to
so per cent alcohol.
"And last" said DR.. Lesser, "there is
that wonderful nerve tonic, Sanatogen.
A representative Of the company told
me he had heard I was saying some
hard things about them. lie listened
20 my lecture, and afterward protested
that | had classed them with bad lot

A. B. CLARK WRITES

Elk City, Ore, Sept. 12, '16.
Editor of the Leader
Petitions are being circu-
lated asking the County Court
to appoint a County Agricultural
Agent under the law providing
for such an official. AT the last
meeting of the Elk City grange
a representative of the o. A. C.
met with us for the purpose of
discussing the proposition.
An open meeting was held and
the public were invited to. join
with us. After the speaker had
presented his case there was a
general debate on its merits. At
the close vote was taken. by all
present and the vote was nearly
unanimous against the appoint
ment Of such an official.
There is something unusual
about the methods used in this
movement-it comes from the
people and interests outside of
the county and not from any
pressing demand in the county.
Speakers are hired, their salaries
and expenses paid, to come here
and work up a sentiment and de-
mand that will induce the
County Court to make the ap-
pointment. And in addition to
that, men of influence, and busi-
ness firms of Portland and other
cities are writing to leading
farmers in this county urging
them to use their influence with
members of our county court to
make the appointment, | think
that this goes to show that the
movement is urged principally
by those who expect to be its
future beneficiaries. There are
two cogent reasons why, in my
opinion, this appointment should
not be made. The farmers are
no longer ignorant of the best
methods of agriculture; for the
past fifty years our agricultural
colleges have been teaching the
farmers and their sons how t.
farm inteligently. And now thc
common schools are taking i
up. We have experiment sta
tions conducted by the state,
and the general government ani
the results are published in J..
letins and distributed broadce
over the land. If, with all tn
instruction and assistance, til,
farmers are unable to success.
fully conduct their busines'
without boss they should take
up some other calling. | was
born on the farm, spent the most
of my life on a farm and farm
ing is my principle interest now.
and this proposition appeals to
me as more like an insult than
a help.
And the other reason. is that
even if the plan should prove to
be some help to the farmer we
are not in a position to avail our
selves of it. The one thing that
threatens our prosperity the
lSnost, both in state and county,
Is our high rate of taxes. The
per capita tax of Oregon is high
er than that of any other state
in the Union and is increasing
five times faster than the popu-
lation. This excessive tax rate
is depreciating the values of our
farms and decreasing our popu-
Ilation. In the past year seven
families have left the state to
each family that has moved into
the state. =
1t would appear that under
present conditions the public
funds should be appropriated
only where there is an urgent
demand.
! Respectfully,
A. B. Clark.

ey 'AA'Nt VI StoOis
Editor Leader
1t was quite a surprise to
me to find that Eastern capital
and brains are pushing the log
an berry industry in the vicinity
of Salem. 1t seems that all the
natural advantages which Ore
gon enjoys must wait to be ex-
plotted by Eastern capital.
Every time you find a group
of men discussing anything, the
subject is either preparedness,
boot-legging or high taxes.
These things, however, are apt
to be very ably looked after, with
out these gentlemen talking all
the time about it.
Why cannot these men find
plans to start some new indus
tries in this country? For in
stance the loganberry.
If growers can make big mon
ey growing them OH the high
priced land around Salem, why
should not our ranchers make
the same on a mach smaller in
vestment? Why couldn't a COM
munity bottling plant be started,
also q dryer? And a cheese fac
tory? All these things pay well,
or they could not be made to
pay interest on stupendious in
vestments.
Loganberries and COWS do
well in Lincoln County. With
it's sublime, equable climate and
moist soil while the berries ripen.
1t produces enormous crops OF
loganberries wherever they are
planted. Money is being DAMN
ed back and kept from rushing
into our,county by the men who
can't discuss any but more or
less national problems. Why
can't they evolve plans to start
bottling works, driers, cheese
factories, ETC., and draw up con-
tracts with the ranchers to sup
ply them with berries and milk,
and thus localize their ideas?
Why can't they stop their pif-
lle about, "dreadnaughts" +,
booze, and, my taxes are SO
high"? Nobody pays any at
tention to them any way.
They could have flourishing
county In from three to five
years, with better roads, more
bridges, more sllos, more devel-
opment, a county agriculturist,
and so on. Why don't they?
How can they calmly see Coos
and Tillamook and nearly all the
others, far out-stripping L.ncoln
in progress, when by a very little
ready money anG a whole lot of
keen business they could make
Lincoln shine and prosper with
the best of them? Can anyone
tell me? Come OF. don't let's be
mos5-backs, but let's whoop 'er
UP for Bett7r Lincoln County.
Somebody with lots Of executive
ability please take the wheel and
we win sure show 'em some
thing.
Yours respectfully,
