Why Consultation IniureS.

The bowels are the natural sewerage
system of the body. When they become
obstructed by constipation a part of the
poisonous matter which they should carry
off is absorbed into the system, making
you feel dull and stupid, and interfering
with the digestion and assimilation of
food. This condition is quickly relieved
by Chamberlain Tablets. Obtainable

IT IS UP TO CARRANzA
SAY COMMISSIONERS
Mexican President Must Ac-
cept PrOtOcOl---0r the
Consequences
BY Carl D. Groat-

UNITED Press staff correspondent
Washington, Dec 26.-Settlement of
difficulties between Mexico and the
United States by peaceful means de-
pends upon what answer Carranza gives
on this, the last day set by the Ameri-
can Mexican peace commission for him
to sign the troop withdrawal proposal.
Official announcement was made to-
day that this government expects to
hear from the first chief today as to
whether he agrees to the troop with
drawal terms. Difficulties in transmits
sion may delay the answer until tomor-
row, but this government does not pur-
pose to negotiate with Carranza further
on this point.
If Carranza does not sign as stipulat-
ed, the commission sessions viii be at an
end.
This will leave the situation as it was
before the commission convened at New
London in the early fall. 1t may mean,
too, firmer policy on the point of this
government in dealing with Mexican
affairs.
Carranza submitted an amended pro
| tocol to the conferees in Philadelphia
| last week. This was rejected and th'
American group informed the Mexicanf
| the first would have to stand.

Market Was Very Dull
Little Price Changes

New York, Dec. 26.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
says:
There was holiday atmosphere about
today's stock market. Little interest
was manifested in the movements of
securities by the rank and file of Wall
street. The attendance in commission
houses was not large and the business
transacted, although the volume would
have been regarded as big in normal
times, was relatively small,
But these elements had but seant in
fluence in shaping the trend of the mar
ket. There was a strong undertone
throughout, save for brief period of
pressure in mid-afternoon and the un-
settlement at the opening, when there
were numerous weak spots, followed by
q reactionary movement that wiped out
all the earlier gains. BY midday, how
ever, there was a quiet movement up
ward, while trading was sluggish in the
extreme. United States steel opened
above l07, reeeded to near LOG and then
again advanced as high as 107 3-4, near
which level it continued to hold well.
Prices continued to advance until
well into the afternoon, additional i'm
petus being given the movement by fail
ure of Germany and her allies to submit
terms of peace in reply to President
Wilson's note. However, prices eased
off in the last hour and considerable
| irregularity developed, although trad
ing continued quiet.
United States steel, which sold near
l09 reacted to fraction above 107.

CHRISTMAS BROUGHT
JUST CUP Of SORROW
Aged Wife Meets Death While
Carrying Home Charity
Christmas Dinner

San Francisco, Dee. 26.-In a shack
on Bright street today John Mauk sat
alone trying to forget the saddest
Christmas in his II years.
Attendants in linen jackets yester'
day led Mauk to a chilly back room in
the city morgue where the body of a
woman lay on a slab. The old man
mumbled something about Kate, .
worked wedding ring off the dead wo
mans hand, kissed it and shuffled out
of the place in tears. The woman was
his wife. Her body was fished out OF
the mire of an ocean front swamp. , =
Half a loaf of bread, chicken, a lit
tie salt and a Salvation Army Christ
mas card lay nearby. The aged woman
had stumbled in the blowing rain Satur
day night and perished miserably while
trying to find her way to her husband
and her home with a Charity Christmas
dinner.
On Christmas in 1906 it was bat
enough for Mauk when the great fir'
claimed his two daughters, but yester
day was the bitterest of all for him.

Tells how to loosen a sore,
tender corn so it lifts
out without pain.

Good news spreads rapidly and drug
.gists here are kept busy, dispensing
freezone, the ether discovery Of Gin
cinnati man, which is said to loosen
any corn so it lifts out with the fin
Tgers.
Ask at any pharmacy for quarter
ounce of freezone, which will cost very
little, but is said to be sufficient to rid
ones feet of every hard or soft corn
or callus.
You apply just few drops on the
tender, aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved and soon the corr
is SO shriVeled that it lifts out with
out pain. 1t is sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
inflames or even irritates the adjoin
ing tissue.
This discovery will prevent thou
sands of deaths annually from lockjaN
and infection heretofore resulting from
the suicidal habit of cutting corns.

Good Old HOfne-Made
Family Cough Remedy
Much Better than the Ready
Made Kind--Eaeily and
CheRply Prepared.

If you combined the curative proper-
ties of everv known "ready made" cough
remedy, YOU would hardly have in them
all the curative power that lies IN tnIs
simple ''home- made" cough syrup which
takes only few minutes to prepare. !.
Get from any druggist 212 ounces of
Pinex (50 cents WORTH, pour it into a
pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain
granulated sugar syrup. The total cost
is about ID cents and gives YOU a tuH
pint of really better cough syrup than
YOU could buy ready-made for $3.50
Tastes pleasant and never spoils.
This Pinex and sugar syrup prepaTa-
tion gets right at the cause of cough
and aiyes almost immediate relief. 1t
loosens the phlegm, stops the nasty
throat tickle and heals the sore. irfl-
tated membranes that line the throat,
chest and bronchial tubes, so gently
and easily that it is really astonishing.
A DAVIS use will usually overcome the
ordinary cough and for bronchitis,
Group, whooping cough and bronchial
asthma, there is nothing better.
Pinex is most valuable concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract, combined with guaiaeol and has
been used for generations to break up
severe coughs.
! To avoid disappointment. be sure to-
| ask your druggist for "252 ounces 81
Pinex" with full directions, and don't
accept anything else. A guarantee OF
absolute satisfaction or money prompt
ly refunded, goes with this preparation.

BOARD WILL SELL
2,5OO BUSHELS SEED
Has 5000 Bushels Of Flax
Seed On Hand---Has Clash
Over Beans


Governor Withycombe and Treasurer
Kay elashed this morning at a meet
ing of the board of control over the ae-
ceptance or rejection of bids on 1900
pounds of beans for the state institu
tions. The matter came up when a Sa-
lem grocer offered the board beans at
9 l-2 cents lower than the quotations in
the bids.
Treasurer Kay was for rejecting the
bids and accepting the lowest offer, as
the board in advertising for bids had
reserved the right to reject any or all.
He thought it good business TO buy the
beans at the lowest price possible, even
if it was less than bidders proposed to
sell for. --
Governor Withyeombe objected to re-
iecting the bids as he doubted the wis
dom of it, although he was very desirous
of seeing the state save money. He
thought it dangerous precedent to set
and might affect the bidding on other
goods the state proposed TO buy.
A Boston Question
| Treasurer Kay replied there never
was a time when he could not get goods
| in open market for less than by adver-
| tising for bids.
The governor reiterated his doubt as
to the advisabflity to reject after the
bids had been opened and the PROPOSE
tion practically closed. The secretary
stated that the Armour company, of
Portland, was the lowest bidder at
10 jig cents a pound but that the Roth
Grocery company offered them for 1-2
cents after the bids were all in and op-
ened. The Allen g. Lewis company and
the Mason 6 Ehrman company were
also bidders.
Secretary Olcott supported Governor
Withycombe in this matter and the
board decided to accept the lowest bid
l10 1-2 cents q pound FOR the beans.
The WeIch Electric company, of Sa
lem, was lower than any of the Port
land firms bidding on the wiring of the
tower, the chicken houses, and Other
buildings, the sum for materials being
l$71.55. The installation is to cost moi
more than $50.
Offer for Flax seed.
The board received the eahlegran
from Agnew g. Hamilton, of Belfast
Ireland, who cabled recently for fla.
Iseed, announcing the acceptance of tn
offer of the board of $2.75 sack bu
the seed was to be delivered f. o. b
New York. This the board did not in
tend in its cabled terms and ordered an
other cable to be sent stating the pric
was $275 +. o, b. Salem. The freigh
charge from here to New York wa
stated as being 10 bushel,
Because he thought it dangerou
policy to send away too much Of tn
flax seed in case the growing of tn
flax in the valley might become NOR
extensive, the governor was not willin
that more than $500 out of the 500
bushels of new seed be sold. The cabl
to Agnew 6 Hamilton states therefor
that the amount that viii be sold is 2
500 bushels.

The promotion of viee-Admiral Sir
David Beatty to the command of the
British grand fleet in the North Sea
has met with almost unanimous approval
in Great Britain. The London Morning
Post said "It has fallen to Sir David
to take part in more fighting than any
other admiral during the war, and upon
every occasion he has Enthusiastically
manifested those inestimable qualities
which are 50 seldom found united in one
man-swift intuition, rapid decision, re-
solute and daring action. In a word,
vice. Admiral Beatty is born fighting
admiral. Officers and men under his
command look upon Beatty as a second
Nelson. Beatty has won his reputation
while he is still young-a happy fate
and equally happy is he that he has
earned it by brilliant achievement. There
are many ways of gaining popular ac
claim, but there is only one which stand:

years old and is married to a daughte1
