SHNATOH JICNARY APPHOVES NOKTIl
UMPQUA KOAU
U E P R E S E N T A T I V E fcroup or Douglas county men
fV called upon Sitnalor Clias. L. McNary last week and
Jiiade a plea for liis support in pushing the completion of
tl.c? road up tlio North Umpqna river. The Senator gave
his unqualified approval to the project and promised to pre
sent the matter to proper Washington officials. It is only
reasonable, he thinks, that the government give us consid
erable aid in completing the twenty-two miles of road neces
!sary to give us an outlet to Diamond lake and central Ore
gofl. With Senator MoNary pulling for us in Washington
and most of the objection in the county withdrawn by rea
son of the proper location of the road district boundaries,
It is likely that within a reasonably short time as such thingr,
go, Douglas county farmers will be able to truck produce to
the large summer population at Diamond lake and to all
central Oregon. ' !

Some interesting facts are contained in the annual state
ment of receipts and disbursements of the State Industrial
Accident commission. For instance, the commission has
piled up a cash balance in its 15 years of existence of $G,428,
285.86, or very close to hal a million dollars a year. Since
it is reasonable to assume that the next fifteen years shall
require no more payments on account of industrial injuries
and death proportionately than has been paid during the
' past fifteen years, to the layman it seems that too high a
toll is being exacted from industry on the present basis.
The second interesting point in the statement is an analysis
of interest itilms. The total interest and discount received
by.the commission on its investments during the year just
closed amounted to $ 12 J, 1(18.22. Simple mathematics re

Like any other inflammation of the skin, the .
first symptom of eczema is redness. Not only is
the affected part always red, but under excite
,mnt, irritajtlqn. from rubbing or scratching, ex
- uoBure to. het, or violent exercise, the redness
is in crease1 d.
After a while little blisters form on the red
dened skin. Aa these break, there is more or
less moisture on the affected surface.
But tho disease does not stop here. It is
not long before scales and crusts take the place
of tlm blisters.
The affected part itches, especially when
the redness is Increased from any cause. At
times the itching is almost unbearable.
It is difficult to tell tho difference between
simple inflammation of the skin, called "der
matitis." and true eczema. The former is due
of the skin, and eczema is due to
an evidence of lowered resistance.

hostess letter Is the important one.
In our so-called "bread and but

and ttjruia that inevitably find a
most appropriate yiace "Your hos
pitality" is certainly one of the
first; It probably would come in
our first sentence. - Kindness
is another and "friendliness" per
bap and certainly "thoughtful

"Your kind hospitality," for in
stance. That gives us a "head
tart" for our letter.
Now. after tbla general expres
sion of thanks, there should be, at
(least to my taste, some very defi
nite references lo detinue plans or
our hostess. This is the part that
so many people forget. They write
vague, indefinite '"lnank you lor
yoinr hospitality" but they make io
mention or ine pians maue oy me
hostess, plans which represented
an especial thoughtfulness. Per
haps, too, a distinct sacrifice in
money or time or both. Naturally
all of us wish these special plans
acknowledged and a pleasant-man-

letter of thanks, whether for a visit

"Eating Asparagus"
DEAR MRS. UEECK.MAN:
What in the correct way to eat
asparagus when the whole stalks
are served? 0. A. R.
ASPARAGUS should be eaten
with a fork. The edible part
is eaten as are all fork foods, and
the rest of the stalk is left on the
plate. It Is much better not to
take asparagus In the fingers, for
this always gives an' untidy, un
pleasant effect. And certainly the
Innocent, lender asparagus stalks
should not be suspended in the air
and dripped perilously into the
mouth. ,

TRIPLETS ARE BORN

SAN RAFAEL. Calif., July 22.
Triplets were born to Mrs. Laura
Hall, 18, at the Ross General hos

Two were girls, weighing four
pounds twelve ounces and four
pounds, three ounces, and a boy
weighed three pounds, twelve

said something of Sewell being as
sociated with him in some way."
The girl hesitated.
"1 don't suppose I should tr
you this, but you've been so verv
kind to me. My uncle isn't really
part of the family. 1 meau the
lest of them look down on aim.
I always felt it was a shame. I
didn't know him, but I de(Mi-
that when I came to New York 1
would look him up. And he was
awluUy glad to see me. He was
quite touched. And lie did Ills
best to amuse me. Of course, w"
haven't much in; common."
"Yea, of course," said tlie doc
tor. Bhsent-mindedly, but ho was
thinking busily.
"Hut it was as if he felt proud
of me," the girl continued. "Took
me out everywhere. Introduced
me everywhere. And he wAs
always so worried about me.
Afraid I'd go wild in New York."
The girl laughed. "Of course,
that's absurd."
"And he warned you against
Sewell?"
"Yes," said the girl, "hut then
he warned ine about a lot of
people."
"Hut especially against Sewell."
"Yes," said the girl.
"By the way," said the doctor
carelessly, "you know your uncle's
handwriting, of course."
'Yes. Why?"
"It's just for the record." the
doctor explained easily, nlihoueh
he hated to deceive this naive
creature. "But I've a photostat
of it note here." He took out the
reproduction of the receipt found
in Sewell's safe. "Would you saj
that was your uncle's handwrit
ing?" he added quickly: "Of
course. I d ask the Major himself,
but he happens to be out of tow n."
The girl examined the note care
fully. "Why, yes." the girl said finally.
"That's unch''s handwriting. It's
so unusual, you know.
The doctor put the receipt back
In his pocket. Then he rose to no.
