DDKS IT I'AYV Oregon lir.s been now a saloonloss state for one week, and the reports from the metropolis of the state show that there has been a sudden and notable drop in the cases of drunkenness to bo tried before the municipal police courts, not more than ono or two daily, compared with the constant string every morning up to the very last day of grace. The number of crimes, large and small. have also materially decreased this week. Polico officials say, however, that this comparison can hardly' be expected to be kept so favorably as Boon as the supply on hand gets ex hausted, and the bootleggers begin to got In their work. But the ro sults this far is proof enough that It will pay, and pay big, the elimina tion of the open snloonB, and with the proper handling of the law by the officials, records of the police court should be kept as clomi as dur ing the week. Of course no one will insist or, advocate that crime will be .eradicated entirely, for the pas alons, and greod, and lust of man arc not confined to the limits of the one "who drinks, whothor modorately or Jntoniporatoly, but nolther does any any one question Unit strong drink Is responsible for a. great share of hu man misery and actual crlmo. There fore it can be said affirmatively that Oregon and its ctlzons will see the pusiil.iK of tho open saloons will bo a paying business proposition. JACKSON DAY. On January 8th, M81BI one hun dred and one years ago, Gen. Jackson defeated tho British in tho battle of Now Orleans, and In a great many of tho southern states the (lay Is a legal holiday. It has been designat ed by tho democrats as an annual dato for them to strengthen their loins, ronow tholr courage snd revive some of the glories of the past. l''rom a historical standpoint this date Is valuable, ns It commemor ates not only a brilliant victory by oar struggling young republic against what was then tho mightloRt power of the world, but recent hlstorlnns assert that It was tho only renl but tlo In that war In which the Ameri cans acquitted themselvos with honor on land. Thoy state that lu almost all previous battles the militiamen olther ran away, or refused to fight. To lllustrato the advanco In com munication In these years, It will l;c recallod that this famous victory was fought nnd won some time lifter HOiwe had been declared between Knglnnd and the United States. Here Is a good ono from Ihe Myr tlo Creek Mail. Kvldently Kclitor Rico has been a close observer of some recent events, not so long n matter of history, for he says: "The "Villa revolution In Mexico has col lapsed and the bumllt leader Is re ported as contemplating coming to the United States to live, for vnrions ronsons. Sinro tho poor exile will likely be looking for u Job, it might bo worth his white to coiuo up to Douglas county, join the Taxpayers' League, do a few 'brass band' chari ty HtuntH. nnd enter tlin primaries :ts a candidate for circuit judge." The News must ask nf Its corres pondents that they refrain from imh!;- Ing any remarks concerning i':indl- dates before the coming primaries, either laudatory or in disparagement, ns nil such will be given the blue pencil.

Andy was some nifty guy In his way and day He was the Theo dore Roosevelt of his time, which was going some. If there was any thing he liked bettor than a fight it was another fight scheduled to fol low that one. He was probably mighty glad the telegraph wasn't Invented late In 1814, for If It had been, ho wouldn't have had a chance to fight that battle of New Orleans. No doubt be snld, right after he had road the porometer and seen how much British blood was spilled, and then discovered that peace had been declared in December, "Thank the Eternal, old man Morse and Marconi haven't been successful yet. I would have missed one Jodnndy scrimmage If they bad!" It will be a hundred and one yearB ago to-morrow since tho battle was fought, and we know nn old liar who would tell us he was there at the time If he didn't know we had tho dots on hint.

I work in an office where the ventilation Is not just what It should be. I was told my trouble Is nervousness, and ad vised to take various medlclnos. But after several experiments I still feel as badly as ever. I have a little catarrhal trouble In the throat, and sometimes a slight cough, but my lungs seem to be all right; there is no pain anywhere. I have lost fourteen pounds in weight. My backaches some, but iny kidneys seem to be normal. Won't you plcaBO suggest somothing to help me? The young lady like all others who write in that vein labors under a misapprehension. Her letter de tails some vague symptoms which might mean any of a dozen or more things. It tells absolutely nothing upon which an opinion or any ad vice worth writing could be based. Note that her lungs seem to be normal, and her kidneys seem nor mal too. Why do they seem so? Perhaps because there is no pain in the chest, and because the kidney functions do not disturb tho patient Well, tuberculosis Is painless in its early stages; kidney disease causes no disturbances, which the victim would attribute to the kidneys It causes general 111 health or digestive disturbances, or headaches or anemia or loss of weight Bright's disease, wo mean. Yet because these organs "seem" normal the young lady eliminates them from the case and expects us to do so too. Imagine how much Dr. Brady will answer all questions pertaining to Ilealth.

Vest Pocket Essays BY CEORGIJ FITCH PLUMBING PLU1ID1 which live in MDING is a modern affliction mnkes our houses fit to 'e in and utmost Impossible to pay for. Plumbing consists mostly of pipes nnd pipe dreams. The pipes are used in the house nnd tho pipe dreams nre used in the bill. With the aid of tho pipe and the pipe dream together, tho plumber is able to con voy water to a bathtub In nineteen hours at 80 cents an hour, by means of a wrench which has been left in his shop four miles away. Another ingredient in plumbing is tho faucet. Faucets are pieces of jowelry, which are sold by liarut weight, and which aro very ornamen tal Indeed when mounted in solid morblo Bettings. Plumbing is used to carry water Into a house and sewnge out of it. but most plumbing will willingly re verse tho operation on the slightest pretext. When a house has been properly plumbed, it is congested with pipes which are cleverly con cealed between the walls in such a manner that any little leak enn be readily repaired by taking up the floors and removing the partitions, numbing is made of lead, brans, and iron, but it la ns lanilo as a buby'a ear and must be protected fmm cold with tho utmost caution. If a col lection of high-strung and nervous plumbing is left alone in a house on a dark winter night, it will promptly freeze, and burst. This allows tho faithful and energetic water com pany to pump the house, completely full of excellent drinking water, for which the owner of tho house hasn't the slightest use. Sometimes a pipe freezes, but dees not burst. It is Uumi possible for tho owner to thaw it out, by crawling through a rat hole and pouring hot water on it ami his thumb in equal doses. Sometimes the plumbing Views Of Norman Ansell Vindicated N' OI1MAX Angell, the author of "Tho Great Illusion. has been the butt of much rldtculo lately because of some of his original and pronounced opinions on war and peace, lie look il for granted that t lie powers of Kuropo would havo too much sense to cr.ato iu on inter necine contllet, but ho gave them crodit for something they did not possess, and now ptoplo are laugh ing at him.

Insufficient knowl edge of the condition present! We are aware that we have been able to render some little help to readers through correspondence with them and with their physicians and dentists. We are glad that this is so. We eagerly welcome the oppor tunity to do good where we feel that It Is good. But we wish to protest once more against such lotters as that quoted. It is a dangerous thing to trust to a diagnosis made by longdistance communication, and still more risky to follow treatment based upon BUch a diagnosis. It you have any ques tions upon which you desire infor mation that we can give, put them to us. But do not ask us to tell you what 1b the matter with you. Do not expect us to do by mail what no doctor can do even in his private office diagnose the trouble without examining the patient.

The Greeks wasted their marble on temples and statues, but we put curs into bathrooms and lavatories. Architects often draw beautiful house designs, and sell them to investors by figuring tho cost, exclusive of plumbing, Just as automobllo makers sell a car for $1.00 exclusive of lamps, magneto, horn, top, engine, winds. leld and tires. Cautious houso builders, how ever, install and pay for their plumb ing first and then build their houses with what Is left of their bank accounts. The ress gained anything at nil comparable to its losses. Only the United Slates, which lias remained out of the con flict, will reap any commercial and tliiancinl bonoSts.
