T1IK UOVKIIXOIPH VISIT.
There Is no question buTTiuit the
visit of Governor Wltliyeonilie to the
Soldlors' Homo yesterday will re
dound to nmtoiittl benefit to that
worthy Institution, for the, governor
hM stored In his memory a number
of thing which he will bring up at
the next bhssIuii of the legislature
and ask appropriations to carry them
?iit. The governor truly said, the
state of Oregon has a jewel hero In
Roseburg, in the possession of such
aji' lVnl spot for an Institution of
this kind, and it has been either
stingy or Indifferent in providing
means 'or Its proper care and en
largemont to meet the ever Increas
lng demands, or to make It one of
tho places of Interest under the fos
tering care of a great state. While
the institution undor Its presont excel
lent management Is on a high plane
of efficiency, there Is much that Is
to bo desired, and the entire citizen
ship of this city and country will
back up and assist the governor in
his recommendations to tho legisla
ture to attain this.

Thoro are resolutions and resolu
tions, but for ones which have tho
roal old time ring to them, those pre
sented by the committee reporting to
the county ceutrul committee last Sat.
urday, are certainly entitled to a
high rank in the first class. They
are complete enough and concise
enough to be Incorporated bodily in
a state or national platform. They
have the ring of steel, and thoro Is
not an affirmation that cannot be
backed up with facts and conditions
When resolutions and declarations
likjo these go ringing over the coun
try, they will bring a spontaneous
response, for there Is not a single
sentence from beginning to the very
end, to which the popular vordlct
will not say amen. Cut these reso
lutlons out and paBte them In some
place whore they can be read time

of factB ant? logic.

a number of years ago. Out of con

Dr. Smiley has observed a number

the symptoms ho enumerates in re

Do not eat while you are tired, nor
while you are working, the effect 1b
the same as when you are nervous or
excited. The brain is using the

blessing are pronounced, calms and
soothes each one present.
Keep your mind cheerful during
the meals at leant. If you feel cross,
or tired, or quarrelsome, control it
until some time when you are not
eating. During the three meats of
the day, eat slowly, enjoy pleasant
conversation, stop worrying, try to
pet tho best from your food. You
will be repaid by better digestion,
and a distinct tendency towards a
cheerfulness not forced for the
occasion.

A New Way To Play With Paper Dolls
"On, ieak!" sighed Mnry Jane dole
fully, "I can't play with my dolls af
tei sll!"
"Why not?" asked mother, who
hnpened to be going through the
room just as Mary June spoke, "I'm
sure you have plenty of dolls to play
with."
"Oh, yes, I have dolls enough, an
swered Mary Jane, "but I have no
doll house to put them in. It's stupid
to try to play doll without a doll
house."
Mother stepped up to tho tnble
where the dolls were spread out in
rows and looked them over. "Never
did I Bee so many paper dolls In one
little girl's house," she remarked
pleasantly. "You have a doll of every
kind, I do believe!"
"Yes, I have," said Mary Jane, In
terested, In spite of hv-i resolve not
to piny with the dolls. "I have babies
and boys and girls, and grown folks
ot all kinds. But I wish I had a
house to put them in! It's no fun
just to lay dolls out on a table and
look at them you know that, mother!
I do wish you could buy me a paper
dell house!"
Mother made no answer. She
Btcod looking at the dolls for a full
minute and then she began to smile.
"Whv of course," she said. "Why
didn't I think of that before?"
"Then you will get mo a paper
doll house?" asked Mary Jane
eagerly.
"No, but I'll do something better,"
said mother; "I'll show you how to
make one."
Mary Jane, In a very dubious frame
of mind, watched her mother take
her scissors out of her work basket,
go to the writing desk and sort out
three Bheets of rather stiff letter
paper and then sit down at the tablo
ready for work.
Mother cut the paper Into narrow
strips about an eighth of an inch
wide.
"What In the world!" exclaimed
Mary Jane as she saw the pile of
queer paper stripB grow under her
mother's scissors. "I can never make

Mother cut the p'ipcr into narrow

"Now," she said, "what kind of a

eyes, mother made on the table a
plan of a bungalow using the paper
strips to mark the walls of tha
rooms! Openings made the doors,
and windows were marked by double
pieces of the paper.
"Oh, I see what you mean!" ex
claimed Mary Jane. "You design the
house as you build! That's more
fun than a ready-made house!" And
she too picked up a pile of the
paper strips and began building. She
made a house, a hotel, a school and a
gymnasium all out on the dining
table: then she put the dolls in the
house and began her play.
