The ' election of A. H. Lea, of Portland, to succeed W. Al Jones as secretary of the-Slate Fair Board the resignations of' Jr H. Booth anil N. K. West as members of the board immediately foi78wtug the defoat of their candidate for secretary, the ac ceptance of tuose . resignations by Governor WIthycombe and the Im mediate appointment of A. C. Mars tors, of this, city, and J. K. Rey nolds, of La Urunde, to fill the vncancles came as the culmination of a rumor which had been in circu lation for about ten days that Jones' office was hanging In the balance. This rumor took reality when three mombcrB of the bourd on TuoBdny voted to replace Jones with Loo. The othor Incidents mentioned above came In quick succession. .Mouth and West resigned because they saw that a difference of opinion existed between members of the bourd re garding the quulirieullonB of Jones ns secretary and they did not want to embarrass tho work of tho bourd '' and the success of the Htnto Fair through a division of sentimunt on the board. There Is not now and never has . been any question regm-dlng the ability of Mr.' Lea. Ho will make a splendid Bocrotury. Ho 1b peculiarly fitted for the poslioin. For the past twelve years ho has been connected with the Union Mont Company. In mora recent years he bus truvolod throughout tho stuto for this com i pany meeting the Block and agricul tural men of Oregon. Ho known personally thousands of tho farmers and stock men of our state. This In Itself will he a big asset to hlin as socrotury of tho Stuto Fair Hoard. He Hturts his official llfo with a fund of knowledge and a host of friends scattered over the stuto which havo taken othor secroturlos years to acquire. It has boon suid that politics entered Into the Boloctlou of Mr. Lea. Hut .Mr. Lea Is not a politician. Ho Is a business man who will apply to ills work as secretary of the board those sumo oluiueuis of personality, bard work, .faithfulness and bonosly which liuvo muilo him a success in tho business world. Tho fair noxt full will show many evl- doncos of his ability uud bin selec tion ns secretary will bo more thnu justified then even to the most skeptical. Mr. Booth's resignation camu as a BUrprlse for it was so Buddun. For the past six years ho has been presi dent of the State Fair Hoard. He lias mndo a good officer and Gov ernor Withyconibo acknowledged this whoa air. Uooth tendered him bis resignation.

Fumtoatiow with malodorous or poi sonous gas and the direct application of finivvir cboinicil to the woodwork, hoe;- ud waiis of the sickroom after Bcarlui ftircr, diphtheria and tuber culosis, Is rapidly becoming obsolete. Soap and wntor, open uir and sun light nro proving more efficient, more available and a wholo lot more eco nomical. After all, It Is persons, not things, that carry most contagious diseases. If we can control the human, animal and Insect carriers of disease germs we need not worry much about so culled fomltes or contaminated ob jects. Of course Buch personal ob jects os dishes, toilet articles, cloth ing and bed-clothing must be boiled, steam storlllzcd or otherwise disin fected after contagious disease, but the old Idea that tho room Itself re quires fumigation or chemical treat ment Is no longer upheld by our (ore most Banftarlans. ' Dr. Cbspln, the famous Sanltcry Superintendent of Providence, R. I., whose pioneer work In mrdern sani tation is now recognized all over the world, proved years Hgo that It was unnecessary and unscientific to fumi gate or disinfect promises after scar let fever und diphtheria. , More re cently several boroughs of Greater New York City havo discontinued terminal disinfection relying In stead .upon soap and water, ventila tion and Bunllrtit to take care of any posslblo infection left In a room after Bucli dlsonres. As Chopln'B Investigations have bo cloarly shown, tiicro Is strong doubt that walla, woodwork, draperies and furniture In tho sickroom can harbor any Infection If the patient receives reasonably Intelligent nursing during the course of the Illness. For In stance, hundreds of tests of Euch articles made by various competent bacteriologists in the rooms occupied by diphtheria patients failed to show diphtheria germs on a single article, but did show the germs present upon glasses, handkorchlefs and similar things which are obviously more or less saliva-contaminated. The disinfection of premises after the removal or death of a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis Is a farce. All the danger passes with the patient If the patient Is danger ous. He Is not dangerous If he takes Intelligent precautions, or It his nurse takes precautions, to prevent the contamination ot things with his sptitujn. Any one who may have lived In Intimate contact with the patient for a considerable period must watch out lest he be Infected. But If Infected at all It must have oc curred wlille the patient was present iot after his removal or death. Hence tho rite of renovation and dis infection of the vacated premises bo comes a mere farce. Worse, it fo cuses popular attention upon a neg ligible sourco of dlccase. Soap and water and brains are the efficient disinfectants for routine use. QUESTIONS AXD ANSWERS What la Biliousness?

The optic nerve corj rieets the oye with Ihe brain, thus en abling tourists not only to see now countries, but to remember them briefly. A gool many cyos. mostly owned and operated by chorus ladles, have entirely too much nerve, how ever. There are many colors of eyes, In cluding brown, black and blue nnd Bometlmes, In case of trouble, red, green and yellow. The color of the eye hasn't anything to do with Its capacity to see, although sometimes when an oyo is rod enough, it cnn seo snakes In Ireland and pink ele phants In St. Louis. But some col ors of eyes are a good deal easier to look at than others. Eyes are used In a vast variety of ways of which the most popular aro reading, sight-seeing and husband getting. The eye Is supposed to be used for seeing only, but many young women havo trained their oyes to tulk In tho most eloquent and por- BUIlslve flLHllloU. Eyes are so' useful thnt men who have no eyes aro considered mo.nt un fortunate. They must make their liv ing by wcnvlng baskets, tuning pianos or by acting as chiefs of police In a wide-open town. This latter Job Is a very fine one for a blind man, as a chief of police who can go through nn ndministrntlon without seeing any sigr.s of gambling can frequently iua':o larRo sums of money. Blind men cro happier than deaf men anj-wny. This is partly because they uo not havo to look at car signs. t ft' A Wnd man as chief of police can make large sums of money billboards, other people's automobiles and women's hats. Eyes are very delicate and get out of repair easily. They must then be helped out with glasses. There are two kinds of glasses the kind that hook over the cars and the kind that straddle the nose. Tho latter are much more stylish and fall off every fifteen minutes at the rate of $9.76 per fall. Man Is well protected with eyes In front, but must rely on nutomobllo horns behind. Man's eyes are so placed that he cannot seo his own face, which accounts for the many startling varieties of whiskers .which aro worn.

Ironing and mend ing for the big and little Jordans. , But the arithmetic of how to feed ten , mouths, shoe twenty feet, etc., was simplified when Bill Jordan put on khaki at the ago of thirty-five to fl7ht for King and country, especially for the only bit of beautiful English countryside that he had ever known. ' The Government generously gave Mrs. Jordan an allowance for herself and each of,l) eight chil dren and even sent her a part of Bill's ray as a Bobiier. "1 hear that Bill is back," I said to M-5. Jo-J.-n f3 !:e passed on an errand through the i-nrrien of "tho Koufo," tho liouco where I was week ending, "Yes," said Mrs. Jordan sorrowful ly, "ho's co::n bncU." "Xothlns very serious wrong with . him, I hone." "Xo, Isn't so much that I bin thinkin' ont. There's my Hill a so Jer nn' had to got rheumatiz. He didn't oughter ha' got rheumatiz, fr I was aik:s goin' on at him nbout Inyln' on th' wet grass, an' when ho tikes the eight thirty-two fr th' front I sez to him, 'Bill, don't yo go In any wet trenches nn' don't lay on th' grass; no knnwin' what Belgium grass Is like. You'll happen of rheu matiz if you don't do as I tells ye.' "An" here he la back from th' 'ors pltal, 'obbllng an' errltable like you can't do northin' with him, not from bullits but from the rheumatiz he gets fightln' th' Germans. Now all he gets Is a pension, not by no means so much as th' Army plde me an' th' eight Jest fr th' use o' him. I don't want me Bill killed or wounded I'm middlin' fond o' him, fr he'a as good a husband as a woman can want when he ain't in liquor, an' he only tikes too much now nnd agen but he might ha' bin took prls'ner, an' then them Germans 'd ha' had to keep him steddy me, an' I'd ha' got me full money." When Mrs. Jordan was reminded that the Germans would not have given Bill the meat, ten, vegetables and bread to which he was accus tomed she said: "I'd ha' sent him out a parcel res'lar, an' even thnt'd ha' come "out cheaper, an' Bill he'd ha' seen a bit of furrln' parts an' come back arter the war. Mo an the children was gettin' on so nice. I -was beginnin' to turn meself round, an' I'd bought everlastln' o' boots fr th' eight an' got th' old ones mended, an' a nice piece of stuff fr a dress fr meself. I'd got me eye on a beaut'ful carplt, too, an' then Hill comes home uncurable with rheumatiz. Ho's took so bad he can't even milk th' cows up to th' farm. Bill goes on grumblln' somothln' like th' old msn came home with a cake of soap, but I mlde him larf when I tole him about that lidy from London wot tried to do her bit milkin' cows fr her King an' country. Bill forgot his rheumatiz ail o' five minutes aa I tells him wot ole Hnle tole me. j "When she sees tho cows sho rct. Where's y'r pile o' water an' cbt'i to wash 'em with?' 'What i'yt wanter wash, ma'am?' sez he. 'W'y. you don't milk them cows afor. you've washed their udders, do yc " An' Hale he sez, 'I bin a cowman th' twenty year an' never beerd o' wasii ln' a cow's teats yet afore I milk-J her.'

But o' course no woman could nuka you men believe that women crtild bo so helpful In fightln' other men.

"But I'd rather he'd 3tayed out there killln' more d' them '-funs " concluded Mrs. Jordan.
