Now that tho city school board la face to fucowlth the fact that a new liulldlng must be built, and are al ready making itontntlvu plans re garding the style, Bine and nature of thin building, It might bo proper to call their attention to tho generally expressed hope of the citizens that the new school house will be erected of BUfflcIont dimensions to care for (ne Increased needs made certain by tho development of the city within the next few years. Another fact which Is pertinent is this, Roseburg lias now arrived at that point of ox pansion where some attention can be paid to civic beauty In the erection of hor public buildings. Wo have panned that era of municipal exist ence where the only requisite, for our public buildings, our school houses -end our churcheB, Is that they are waterproof, airtight and look like a shoe factory. Modern Ideas .de mand some embellishment of the ex terior as well as conveniences for the Interior, especially when this can be obtained under the skillful guidance of experienced architects, with vory little addod expense. Tho added sat isfaction to the citizens, and the pride they will tako In It, will more than offset the slight additional cost. This is tho nearly general sentiment of the community and district. It make a lot of difference In tho report of a political meeting, wheth er the one who gathers It Is sorvlng two masters, a fact that Is well -tested wheu one roads tho account of the "republican gathering here In Roseburg last Saturday, as It appear ed in tho big republican organ In Portland, and as it was shown In the local democratic one. Written by the same person, the account to the republican paper stated that one tu ud rod were present, while In the democratic paper it dwindled to fifty. I) lit It is really Immaterial whether one dozen or one thousand -were there, tho fact was vory appar ent that all who were prosent were nthtislatlc, and there was enough of life and animation to cause some of our democratic friends to begin to worry. "rom a careful consideration of all the facts surrounding tho loca tion of the bridge near Kiddie, about which the local paper there 1b striv ing to creato a bod feeling, tbo con clusion must be reached that had the county court and the engineer Jn charge raised the abuttments four or fivo feet higher than at present, they would have been called "bug house" by a majority of those who "Jiave lo uso this river crossing. It 1s affirmed that the grnilo leading lip lo the bridge Is now seven per cent, and one can Imagine how much Bteopor an additional four foot would liave made it. "It looks as though some ono was endeavoring to Blurt something, or air a personal griev ance, Such a thing niny happen as thej result of the alleged attempt of Bonio persons to poison tho entire! list of guests at a social banquet, that tho chef and waiters will hej compelled to ttiste the soup an It Is tiroiight In. This Is an old meihod. but It generally proved efficient. Have you received any garden seeds from Congressman Hawley? It 1h about time that they were being sont out, as spring comes early In this valley. As yet no one has appeared who thinks the fun to bo had at the Chi cago convention as delegate from thin congressional district, will off- set tho expense. Suppose we make up a purso to defray this and see j low many willing patriots will bob to the surface. j DMgin.0 T . rirt VnhmtfilA feve '!,r a Uu.wi Uuent that lorn1, okt inii'-h.

Or rather several curious manners. Sometimes a sudden ill ness, or the shock of bad news, will turn an entire head white In a few Watch your hair for praying patched hours, though time will usually re store the color to hair turned in this sudden way. A severe illness, especially if the invalid Is growing old, will often take all the color from the hair follicles. ; - i w J J -V, t A "ft.t Health Talks BY WILLIAM BRADY, M.D. Reserve Power Gives a case of valvular defect (caused by scar deformity following some former inlluinination of the heart lining), or a case of permanent hf.Kh blood pressure, or one of arterial hardening, or one of chronic Hright's disease, the important question in dingnosls and prognosis is the re serve power of the heart. A normnl heart has sufficient re serve power to withstand sudden or temporary physical strain, such as running to catch the last car home, going through an attack of typhoid fever or pneumonia, or chastising someone who misjudges one's char acter. When you run for Borne distance you get short of wind, and then pres ently you got your "second wind" if you keep running and your heart is normal. This "second wind" is large ly a response on the part of the re serve power of tho heart. People with defective reserve power got short of breath on slight exertion and remain so until complete rest Is ob tainable, or even In spite of com plete rest. ' There are various factors which reduce reserve power in tho heart, A leaking valve obviously makes greater demands upon the reserve power in order to keep sufficient blood circulating. A high blood pres sure from any cause demands a more forcible heart beat to drive the blood through tho arteries, and the extra work is done by drawing on the avail able reserve. Diseased kidneys, tobacco, alcohol, worry, irregular hours and overeating all tend to ex haust the heart's reserve. It is bad business to live on your savings. Iteserve power may be built up much as a bank balance Is built up.

A . change of climate has been known to affect the color of the hair. Some times hair turns gray In spots, as many as a dozen white streaks alter nating with colored ones, down the length of a single hair. This special form of graying us ually meuns that the head is in need of more nourishment, that the loss of color is due to that and not to age. This is premature grayness, and the easiest to cure. Personally, I do not like to advise putting color on the hair, alhough I have in my possession an excellent restorer of color for dark hair a recipe I have given to several hundreds of women who have written me for it. This is perfectly harmless but the ideal thing Is to make Nature herself bring back the color Bhe has taken away. If your health is run down, your hair will suffer for It, the strength that should go to make it long and luxuriant will be used to make up the strength your body has lost. A general tonic for the whole system will react on the hair too. Of course, a hair tonic Is needed, one that con tains as little alcohol as possible.

Also, moro to eat aod longer hQurH of sleep. Of The Heart One way Is by rest In bed, for per sons with heart disease. Then per haps passive movements and brine baths. Then by graduated walks, firut on the level, then upgrade for 6teadi)y increasing distances day by day. There Is nothing like walking to strengthen a heart. And nothing like running to store up reserve power. An athlete who has trained scien-, tifically, not In a week or two of ama 'teur football or gymnasium training, 'has more reserve power than anyone else. A clean-living, healthy man has enough reserve power In his heart for any ordinary emergency. The in dividual with heart trouble has a re duced reserve power, and hence must beware of strains and excesses of all kinds. Hut by scientific treatment the reserve power of the defective heart may be so well built up that, to all practical purposes, the patient is normal. QUESTIONS AXD ANSWERS Some Bad Guessing One doctor I consulted told me 7 had weeping eczema. Another said it was itching piles. Neither ex amined me. I obtained no relief from either prescription.

Flitter Finds A Trap TTm-m! Uh-mI Bear me, but that is good!" said Flitter Flying-squirrel, us he munched at a bit of food. I wonder what that can be?" He cocked his head tlrst to one side and then to the other in a vain at tempt to sec by the half-waning moon Just what It was he had found. "That tastes something like only some thing like tho bird meat my mother brought me last summer. Now what in the world could it be?" Flitter nibbled slowly and cautious ly at the choice bit he had found; and was Just licking his lips and prepar ing to take a firmer bite when CLICK! Oh, but he did jump! Without stopping to look or think, he ran to the nearest tree, a Blender ash, and swiftly hurried up Its trunk. There, safe from danger from the ground, he stopped to get his breath and look around. But nothing hap (isned and nothing moved or made the slightest sound. After waiting silently for nearly an hour, Flitter at last got up his courage to run down a branch on the side of the tree that was away from the sound; from there he flew to the ground and ran home. "Mother!" he called breathlessly, running Into the home In the hollow tree, "something happened to me, only It didn't happen!" "What's that?" laughed Mother Flying-squirrel. "Nothing happens when it doesn't happen." "No, of course not," agreed Flitter. "I meant that I thought It was going to happen and It didn't." "That's different," said Mother Flying-squirrel kindly. "Whntddyou think was going to happen, Flitter?" Flitter explained about the extra choice bit of food he had found; about how he was enjoying it and about the terrifying sound that spoiled the feast. "Oh, yes, I know what that Is,' said Mother Flying-squirrel as soon as he had finished, "and I am glad Your Social Set MAY SCRUB THE "SMART SET" YOUR HEN THAT WANTS TO SET MAY HAVE SEEN THE SUN SET; BUT FOR A Real Garden Asset YOU SHOULD HAVE SOME OF OUR CHOICE ONIO.N" SETS.
