Co. Drug Co. They have a limited supply of sam plea, one of which will be given free to anv akin sufferer who wishes to test the merit of the medicine. A booklet ' How To Preserve the Skin," will also be given to those interested. OUT OF THE GINGER JAR. With sudden tears and winsome smile, Witching May doth now beguile. Lilac blossoms scent the air; Vernal winds blow soft and fair; Seed-time waits without the door Golden harvest lies before. When in doubt keep pegging away. Have a pair of sleeves to slip on over your dress sleeves when you are doing housework. Saves the dress. Left-over asparagus makes an excel lent salad with a dressing of oil, salt, pepper and a few drops of vinegar nibbed together. Buttermilk will take yellow stains out of white goods. Let them soak in it quite a while, then wash it all out and see how fine the goods will look. When buying carpet for stairs, get an extra yard; and turn it at both ends. When it begins to wear, it can be moved either up or down to equal lr.e the wear. All stoves that are to be Put away for the summer, must be cleaned in side and out, and rubbed with Unseed oil. If convenient wrap newspapers about them. . Do not tack down oilcloth or linole um when It la first spread over tin floor. Let It be walked on for several weeks or until It has settled into place and the ridges are evened down. Use the garden hose for rinsing blankets and rugs on the line. Blank ets dry without wrinkles. Rugs should fir si be scrubbed with ammonia and water. Use a brush for that work; then rinse. It is natural that an expectant who has been cut off by a will should suf fer from a lack of will power. It gives us a jolt to find that the leading citizen Is hungry three times a day and that he snores in his sleep. Generally It la all right . to take things as they come, but it is danger ous to take a goat that way. You will never reach the right place on the wrong road. If you are on the down-hill line make haste to get a transfer. Salt will keep meat, but It requires "sand"' to keep a good resolution. Trying to quiet a fretting baby is a hard task, but trying to quiet an ac cusing conscience Is a harder one. It is getting pretty hara to ten one lie from another. Some husbands fear the wife's no. and Borne stand in awe f her know. The horse Is known hy It years, but the mule is better known by its ears. Unfortunately in a good many orch- arda the trees are known by their scales. It is a poor rule that won t work al ways. Extremes meet when the kitten plays with Its tail. 1 MAY 5, 1911. Lift WIRES TAKE RECESS TILL FALL COMMERCIAL CLUB ORGANIZA TION HAS ACCOMPLISHED MUCH IN FEW MONTHS. ROAD MASTER IS MAIN ACHIEVEMENT Committees Still at Work on New Federal Building, Stafford Rural Rout and Rail Road to Molalla. The Live Wires of the Oregon City Commercial Club have suspended pub lication until fall. At Tuesday's weekly luncheon, wlili'b wag an unusually toothsome af fair, the Wires concluded to dispose with tbe regular session until tbe af ter tbe summer Is over, giving the Trunk Line, under which name the head of the organization is designat ed, ample authority to call a meeting at nny time. The summer season 1 close nt hand, this being tbe main reason for the recess. While several Important matters are pending. It may be necesaary to have evening meetings about once a month. The Live Wires have been working for some months upon tbe establishment of a rural route out of Oregon City Into the Stafford coun try. The ground has been carefully gone over and map have been drawn, and the matter is now in tbe bands of City Engineer Noble, who has agreed to prepare a map showing the section of the county over which it Is proposed to establish a new route. When this map is completed a peti tion will be circulated among the farmers directly interested in tbe establishment of a new route and for warded to the postoffffice department at Washington, D. C. The principal achievement of the Live Wires since Its organization last fall hag been In securing the appoint ment of a county road master . H. E. Cross was the man who proposed the Installment of a system In the con struction of roads In Clackamas Coun ty and he had the united backing of all tbe Live Wires, and when tbe matter was put to the County Court and thoroughly discussed, tbe appoint ment of a road master speedily follow ed. This one thing Unexpected to make a saving of several thousands of dollars annually to the taxpayers of the county. Another matter that tbe Live Wires have taken a very deep Interest in is the construction of a railroad into the Molalla country. Judge G. B. Dimlck. W. A. Huntley, Frank Busch, O. D. Eby, and other members of the Wires initiated this project, which has had the hearty support of the organi zation from the start. Rights of way and surveys were obtained, thousands of dollars subscribed, nearly every member of the Live Wire taking some stock, and grading of the road-bed toward Beaver Creek has been in pro gress for several weeks. Sufficient money is in sight for the actual con struction of the road as far as Beaver Creek, and there is little doubt of the successful termination of the project, which is strictly a home grown move ment, building with local capital and governed by local men, who are not drawing any salary for their work in getting the enterprise on a sound loot ing. The iutroduction or an ordinance in the council providing for a weights and measures commission Is another matter that the Live Wires initiated. Considerable publicity ha8 been given to the Government report calling at tention to faulty scales In some of the Oregon City buslBess bouses, and an ordinance was presented to the coun ell and will soon come up for final passage. The purchase of a site and the erec tion of a federal building in Oregon City Is a subject that attracted the attention of the Live Wires, and through the efforts of a committee, a bill was Introduced In the United States Senate last week, carrying an aiiDronriation of $75,000. It is not ex pecied that the bill will pass at the extra session, but if the right kind of work is done, the appropriation has an excellent chance of getting through next winter. The Live Wire commit tee is still working on thla matter. Weekly luncheons and meetings will be resumed the first of October next, LOCAL POST CARD DAY MAY 15. Live Wire Issue Call and Other Or- oanlaztion Respond. May 15, has been set aside as Ore gon City Postal Card day and great preparations are being maue to aena hundreds of postals to all parts of the United States and turope.
