not eat one thing. I commenced taking
the ' Favorite Prescription ' and I was re
lieved at once no more nausea, no head
aches, no backache, and I got through
so well." Mrs. W. T. Pockhus, Care
McCready Camp.
Sorkixa, Ohkoon. " I have suffered
everything during expectancy but the
last time I took Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription and I nevjr missed a meal
and had comparatively no suffering. I

or young girls coming Into womanhood.

Edltor.News: '
So often we read "Great things
are being done in Washington now,"
but are they? Many things are being
done there, but any that are great
remain undiscovered. In fact it is
becoming apparent to the thought
ful American that the weak point in
the allies' line Is not in France or
Belgium or In Italy, but "somewhere
in Washington, D C, V. S. A."
The government is active and tre
mendously so but mere activity isn't
enough, in Ben Hur the horses of
the chariots run like mad but they
are on a eort of a tread-mill track
and never leave the sight of the au
dience. We fear there are too many
tread-mills in Washington.
When department and bureau
heads calmly admit the lack of real
progress, when they confess that th
old roundi-about red tape methods are
followed, that days are- consumed In
the mere transmission of communica
tions between officials of various
hair-splitting degrees, that friends of
the family are interested in con
tracts, that millions have been ad
vanced to ship builders existing only
on paper, the simple minded Ameri
can citizen wonders what our allies
must think of us and becomes some
what agitated about ever winning the
war.
For several years this country fac
ed an almost certain war. Every
man not hopelessly tied to the demo
cratic party or afraid or "too proud
to fight, knew it was a hundred! to
one bet we would sooner or later be
dragged into tae fight. Ambassador
Gerard knew it would come later on
even If not In the present .war and
cabinet officers have revealed the pos
session of like knowledge prior to
the last national election, yet nothing
was done. No rifles were made, nor
was even a design of a rifle decided
on. No war ships nor any air ships
were built, no troops were added to
tne army nor was the navy recruited
up to any extent. Even when war
knockedl at our doors with . the de
struction of the Lusitania the govern
ment slumbered peacefully on, "too
proud to fight." Today, after being
openly, admittedly and declaredly at
war for eight months, we haven't
enough shoes or overcoats for the
men drafted. In truth, if we must
resort to the common vernacular,
there aren't enough common, ordin
ary American "pants" to keep the
recruits decently clothed. Various
appointees have selected various
types of ships to be made and have
then been fired, meanwhile few or no
ships being turned out. The navy's
airship department has been so slow
that Us heau adimitted to the congres
sional investigating committee that
he was ashamed to mention the
small number made.
Colonel House, the adviser In chief
of the president, the people and the
allies, now unkindly Informs all con
cerned that the war must be won this
year, and won by America, if at all.
Will this declaration awaken our one
man government to the necessities of
the hour? Will red tape be cut,
oureaucracy destroyed, incompetent
department heads removed, strong
men appointed to a coalition cabinet,
labor made to work, and the entire,
organization speeded' up to some
thing near its real capacity?
It can .be done for the American
people are capable of it and anxious
to do it if properly encouraged and
directed, but they are inefficient at
present because inefficiently led. X

In concluding our work in this city
in connection with the erection of the
federal building and the hospital at
the soldiers' home, we desire to take
this opportunity of expressing our
appreciation of the treatment receiv

members of your business commun

Intent and requirements of the plans
and specifications, and during the
course of the work we have labored
to the end that the completed build
ing might be a credit to your city and

and In all modesty we feel we have,
credit is due those who have assist
ed us in our work.
During the course of our experi

never received more courteous treat
ment from a bank than that experi
enced in connection with our trans
actions with the Umpqua Valley
Bank. Sterling character and fair
dealing are the standards of their
board of directors and their busi
ness transactions.
