In tho . selection of Dr. Seely ub
.president, and J. V. Barker as vice
president of the Conuiiercliil club last
night, the members have not only
paid a high tribute to the ability
and worth of these two gentlemen,
but they added a now life and vigor
to the activities of the club which
will become apparent at once. And
lit Buying this, there Is not a single
thought of disparagement of thoae
who have preceded them. There la
no use In giving any history of tho
men selected, for It Ib a part of the
history of Itoseburg. Dr. Seely Is
fno of tho most prominent members!
of his profession In tho' slate, a
man with a wide circle of personal j
friends and of great Influence In
social, fraternal and civil affairs- of
our city. Mr. Barker 1b equally as
pomlncnt in business circles. It is
needless to Btato that both theso
gentlemen aro busy men, successful
men aro ulwnyB busy, and for this
reason, the club can congratulate
Itself that it has been nhlo to draft
two such men anuj add another weight
for them to carry. They are both
known ob men who do things, nnd
' do thorn right, and tho Commercial
club will be the gaincV In securing
their services this year. There aro
no dead weights In the trustoes, for
Henry Ilurth, Moho Klco und Bert
Sutherland are live wires who will
. tako pride In showing that their
' Stewardship brings results. It can be
stated without any oxaggoratlon that
tho year 1910 Is opening auspiciously
for the Rosoburg Commercial club,
- and that It will take a prominent
" part In the expansion and dnvelop
nientof tho city nnd county which ap

A NOTE.
Nothing has so stirred the peo
Jile of IIiIh country for u long time,
Us tho awful butchery of American
citizens and other foreign residents
In Mexico, and this only a few short
wooks ufler the recognition of C'ar
rnnicti by this government. Surely tho
people will not stand Tor this state of
affairs very much lunger, without
there being a demand madiyer aomo-
thing stronger in the way of action
than mere protest and note writing,
at which the administration baa be
come very expert. If this watchful
waiting policy bus brought our great
nntlon to such n point that no re
spect is paid Its flag and people,
then It Is time this pulley was cbnng-
cd. There is little doubt (lint If the!
hands of Ihe Kiiroponn nations hail j
not been tied by their own Kiutmtlc
ntniKRlo, BonielhltiK would have been'
started before this.
Soldiers are never known lo luitlle
with grealer valor nnd self suiTirico,
than' when thoy are atteinptlnj; to
reach eoniriuies who arc suriouiuied
and cut off by a superior enemy. Ail

51,100 worth of brl. n-bra.:. In

An ordinary hotel con ..sts of a

QUESTIONS AND AXSAVERS
Antitoxin
Ta there any danger of untoward
action from a dose of diphtheria
antitoxin administered to a person
who has been previously injected
with lockjato antitoxin (about a year
previously)?
Answer Yes. Once Injected with
horso scrum the Individual may bo
"sensitized," and suffer severely
from hives or erythema or asthmatic
symptoms (called anaphylactic
shock) if given more horse serum
weeks or months later. But In such
a case the doctor may Inject a few
drops as a tost, and If no unpleasant
reaction follows insl.de of two hours
a full dose may be .safely admin
istered." . . ,
A Cough Medicine
If not asking too much, will you
please repeat the formula yon
printed some time ago for an old
fashioned cough medicine t
Answer-It was something like
this:
Citrate of soda 1 ounce
Licorice powder ........ ounce
Flaxseed meal 2 ounces
Glycerin 4 ounces
Chloroform iy ounce
Water. .. .enough to make one quart
First boll the flaxseed In the water,
stirring it In gradually. While it
Is cooling add the citrate, then the
licorice and glycerin. After it Is
cold add the chloroform, . Shake oc
casionally through the day. Keep
tightly covered. Next day strain
through muslin. The two-hour dose
is, tenspoonful for child, toaspoon
ful for adult.
ssays
sist of a lobby upholstered In mar
ble, onyx, gold and ilunkeys and
decorated at the rear wltli a member
of Bonio royal family behind a regis
ter. Tho lobby is surmounted by
about twenty layers of rooms, each
Jlc has to whittle the water out of
the pitcher before ha can wash his
face
of which rents for the price of a
pair of shoes per night, while scat
tered about on the ground floor are
restaurants, in which one may se
cure a large, well-cooked- meal with
plenty of Bide dishes for the price
of an acre of land in Texas. In
iact, it is perfectly easy for a small
man with a fair appetite to eat up a
whole Texas farm in a week In a
New York hotel, especially If ho
washes it down liberally.
The legislatures of some states aro
regulating the length of the sheets
used by hotels. This gives rise to tho
hope that the clerk may be regu
lated a little In due time, though no
one has hnd the nerve to tackle the
job as yet.
Hate
Or Friendship
In'o, If Indeed after all Is over and
p"r.i'o is once more established there
is n"t a show of genuine gratitude
M ttt the United States alone 01 all
t..e great 'nations remained neutral
p1 ke?t Its froudshlp for all at
wrr.
Jvt now !t Is the part of wisdom
for all here to be careful of their ut-t-M
meci, quite ps careful of them as
of their nc3. that strict neutrality
is Lrosered and1 that friendships
nrny bs nrc.ioctl. Ilnrnh things are
!i6i!i,r fid nnd printed in tho differ
cat wurrlnjc cc;ntries because the
United Mat- ban not done this to
tl o liking of one side or the other or
hatt done thta and that In uphold
ing Ua neutrality which has aroused
the enmity of one or the other side,
but that does not call for harsh
words In reply. It's the soft answer
thnt turns away wrath. The dawn of
peace should be looked forward to
with a determination to do every
thing possible here to promote the
cause of peace, the comity of nations
and that International friendship
that means so much for civilization, t
for Its commerce. Its arts and ideals.'

When The Instalment Is Due
(' Q. s 7 one makes a contract with
another individual for the payment
o money in instalments or by way
of interest on loans, isn't it true
that, in case the instalment pay
vients are not met, the entire sum
becomes due and payablct
A. It Is common to make pro
vision for a contingency of this char
acter. If a provision is inserted in
the contract which renders tho whole
sum duo and payable in the event
of default as to an instalment, the
provision will be perfectly legal.
A rhotograph As Evidence

tograph will be admitted in evidence
in a court for the purpose cf proving
the identity of a persoA-a a'ihingf
A. Photogrnphs are admissible In
evidence. They do not always con
stitute tho best evidence, however,

only In the event that the best evi

"Touched" By A "Live Wire"
Q. May one get damages from an
electric light company if he is in
jured by coming in contact with a
"live" wire?
A. 'Your question Is too broad and
general to be answered specifically.
It may be said, however, that ir the
company's negligence was tho proxi
mate or efficient cause of the injury,
and if the injury was not caused
proximately by the Individual's own
contributory negligence, he may re
cover damages.
