ROSEBURG, OREGON,
OIUJGOX I'EOI'I.K Ml'ST I'l'LL TOGKTHEU
THE OiVic-ii Ji:i::rtmont of the American Legion in con
vention in Salem last week pa.ssod a resolution which
will bo sent to our members in congress urging their support
lo a bill for the c..L;:b!i.shmciil of a National Soldiers' home
i?i the northwest lor northwest veterans. The resolution
further requested th.it such a home be located in Oregon for
the-reason that Oregon is more nearly geographically een
UvaJ than are other northwestern states.
A national home ;s badly needed for the north-west for
tin! reason that the only home west of the Rockies is now
filled to capacity. Jt is very likely that congress will act
favorably on this iniestion. Comes then the question : Where
in Oregon should this home be located'.' This is a question
that co.icern:; us a great deal. Jn all Oregon, Roseburg is
perhaps the best point for the location of another soldier's
home. Farm land is available and reasonably priced, loca
tions for the home itself are plentiful, fuel is cheap and gen
eral living costs are low because of the wide variety of farm
products raised here. In addition to economic and other
reasons, the climate hero is ideal for such an institution.
Nearly all of the Legion posts in Oregon favor Hose
burg as the location for the national home. Strange as it
may seem, however, the Portland Legion posts are favor
ing a point outside this .state for the home. Portland is
planning lo urge that the Vancouver barracks be remodeled
'and made into a (soldiers' home. Cynical folks over the state
hre saying: "Isn't that just like Portland wanting to hog
.everything?" Whether it is or isn't "ju.st like Portland" is
Jiot so important right now as the fact that if Portland in
RtSts on carrying this to a light within the state, we will all
lose. We know what happened when different sections of
the stale all insisted that their own candidate be chosen on
the farm board. None of the candidates in. this state were
chosen because the slate could not as a whole agree on any
June jnan. That is what will happen if this state divides
lig.'iinst it:e!f on this soldier home location. Until we in
Oregon can learn to pull together for the things we want for
liie slate, we are not going to be very successful in getting
in
, things.
; '"Mr. E. H. Fletcher, the man who makes the -weather for
;Roseburg and Douglas county, says that he was misquoted
in this newspaper last week and that the hot weather he had
ordered (or predicted as he puts it) did arrive exactly us
.scheduled. Schedule or no schedule, Saturday was a warm
.'day and that is thai.
; The old town is humming again once more. The local
;Legionnaiires were away to a convention in Salt In most of
;last week but they are back now.

CAREFULFEEDING WILL
HELP BABY TO HEALTH
From Babyhood to Old Age Indigestion Is a Com
mon Ailment, Says Dr. Copeland, Stressing the
Importance of Watching Infant's Food.
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Sen.; from New York.
Former Commissioner of Jl- ri'h, Xew York City.
MEN and women are only grown-up children. The ailments
they have are much the same as those experienced by an in
fant. The only practical difference is that older persons have
pained strentrth and, with it, the ability to resist disease.

I Why should indigestion be so frequent an
t. V ? ailment? You will ask this qu&stion, but yo.o
V v '.. . . ; know the answer as well as I do.
OR COPELAND.
The symptoms produced by tl-e wrong feeding are likely to be much
more violent than in the grown-up.
Vomiting is a common siim in infants. If fed too fast, too often,
or too mud), the baby is almost sure to vomit within a few minute
fi'-r the bottle Is finished.

HOT WKATHKK ADVICR TO
MOTHLKS OP HAH1I S.
IniJG of you to remember that
babies got thirsty. Many a
child wails for want of water.
You know how you can suffer
on a hot day without an ample
Miipply of water. A little baby
can suffer terribly from tho same
can so.
Manv n you as mother believes.
that the fluid milk the baby Is
triven Is all the liquid it requires.
This is not the rasu. A tonpoon
f ul of cool water will brin? a
smile of happiness to ths face of
the bahy.
It is not rife to pive a tiny
Infant water out of the tap or
out of the well. It is rare Indeed
for any ordinary drinking water
to ! entirely free from Rorm life
of nonie sort. This water Is not
tainted sufficiently to be harmful
to adults, but It micht be very
disturbing to a little baby.
All the water Riven an Infant
should be prepared Just as care
Cullv as the milk is. It should be
v:i-rous!y boiled fn- a few mln
uies and then poured Into a b-if;!
previously ll!e-1 After this the
bottle is pMppered and put away
to cool. This is the only sort of
water which should be given to a.

The Finger for the Diamond Ring.
DKAR MUS. HKKCKM AN:
Will you please tell me is it
evec permissible for a girl to wear
a diamond ring on the third fing
er of the leit hand unless she is
engaged? The girl hasn't any
particular hoy friend but doesn't
think it necessary to explalu
where she received the ring. Jf It
wore any other gem except a dia
mond there wouldn't be any ques
tion asked. If you say it would he
better to wear the ring on the
right hand, we will be satisfied
with your decision.
R. W. S.
TlIEItE isn't any reason why
the girl should wear the dia
moud ring on the engagement fing
er except the reason that runs
through your question the fact
that it Is so often misinterpreted
and wondered alout. Therefore
it seems simpler and wiser and
less complicated for the young
lady to chooso another finger for
this kind of ring.
A Young Man's Graduation
Present
DEAR MRS. IiEECKMAN:
I have been corresponding
for some time with a young man
in college, ile will be graduated
next month and I am wondering il
1 should send a gift? And what
would be appropriate? He sent me
CHAPTKK XXX.
"Ah!" interrupted Marx. "So
Sewell did have it. Our friend, the
Major, copped a crystal. Sewoll
himself stole the stone. Never
mind. Mrs. Kdlson, go ahead."
"Sewell said that no matter
where we went, we would he fol
lowed by this Russian, who would
kill him U he couldn't get hold of
the stone.
"So he said he'd decided on a
plan. It was u very strange plan,
hut I agreed to it, because be
cause 1 loved him, and 1 trusted
him.
"We were to sail the next day at
noon. Sewetl's idea was to throw
the Russian off the track com
pletely, and this is what he in
tended: "I was to come up to the apart
ment at ten in the morning. We
were to meet. Sewell was to ro
down to the boat, where he was
sailing under an assumed name. 1
would remain, and call up the po
lice, and say that I'd visited Sewell
and found him dead."
The girl paused.
"(io ahead," barked Marx.
"I'd found him dead," she repeat
ed, "and I was to give the alarm.
Then, after the police got through
(Hiestionlng me, l was lo join him
on the boat.
Marx shook his head.
"Of all the "
"Sewell said that once the Rus
sian believed him dead, he'd he
safe."
"Rut what about the body?"
"He'd arranged for that. I was
to say I'd found him lying here, and
then as 1 turned to give tiie alarm
the body had disappeared, presum
ably dragged away by the mur
derer. There was this secret pas
sage to the ndjoininc apartment,
tie was sure the police would find
that. They'd have a mystery on
their hands. And the Russian
would believe Sewell was out of
the way."
"And ou fell for it?"
"I couldn't help R. It seemed to
fit in every way. His wile would
think him dead. We could be mar
ried in Kuione. I had some money.
SellinK the diamond would make us
rich. We could he happy together.
"Now, what actually dldhappeu'.'"
"Oh. Cod!" For once the girl
j seemed genuinely distressed.
"It seems like a nightmare. I
was playinc a part, and I didn't
: know what was real and what was
unreal. Sew ell hud told me to
1 ennie to the next bouse and get 1 ll
i to the apartment through the cor
Itidor. i did. Then 1 heard voices
! and I couldn't understand what had
j happened. I heard the word mur
! der. Ami then - I came out. and I
! saw " she. buried her fare in her
hands, and shivered "I was half
mad I couldn't think. I told you
' th" first tliinc that mine into my
: mind. I didn't know w hat to do.
'How could 1 tell you the truth?"
; So so Sew el was murdered
! before he roiild fnke being mur
dered." Marx tried to sum up the
. weird stor .
i "Yes."
I "And then?" prompted the doc
i tor.
I "I tried lo sail anyway, hut
your detectives stopped me, and
I've just been throuch hell ever
sir.ee. ( can't understand It. 1
; ean'f understand it."
"IMd Sewll ever mention Major
Trefoil as a likely source of dan-
! per?" demanded th doetor.
"Yes." atd the girl. "Put he
j was mainly scared of this Russian
(i4i-:it. He did mention ihe Major
He Mid liie Major didn't hke him."

Uoseburg and Salem. Materials are
being place at intervals along the
route and the crew will be divid

"He didn't tell you that the Ma
jor was protecting him that night."
"Protecting him?"
"Yes, sleeping In this apartment
at Sewell's request."
"No."
Tlie doctor rose.
"I don't .think we need to trouble
you any more, Mrs. Kdison. You've
told us all wo wanted Lo kuowH.U
tlie way, w hat was tho boat you
were to sail on?"
"The Korengaria."
"And under what nHtne?"
"Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Slater."
"Thank you. I don't think we
will be needing you again, Mrs.
Kdison. Thank you very much."
The girl rose, and without fur
ther word made her exit. The doc
tor took up the telephone and got
the Cunard Line. He asked for the
traffic agent.
"Could you tell me if a Mr. and
Mrs. Leonard Slater sailed on the
Berengarla exactly two weeks
a?o?"
The doctor held the phone. Marx
looked at him wonderingly.
"Mr. Slater sailed," the doctor
repeated. "Mrs. Slater didn't.
Thank you."
The Aipiitania was? carrying In
spector Marx and the doctor to
Paris. The doctor seemed as happy
as a schoolboy on a holiday, tut
Marx was impatient and irritable.
As the two lolled in steamer
chairs the second day out, the doc
tor taid:
"There's nothing like the sea to
reduce life to its essentials. Food,
sleep and warm content men t su
nerinduced by sunshine. Rut then
I'm a materialist."
"Surely," exclaimed the doctor,
"you're not worrying about this

"Xo." prowled Marx "I'm taking
this trip for my health."
"A very worthy purpose." said
the doctor.
"And the department will be

Marx. "They've been kinda wor

walked a beat. And I got a sneak

beat again, it' this case keeps up
mur'h longer."
"Don't bo absurd." hegied the
doctor. "Think of the sensation

"Shut up:" advised Marx not too
genily.
"I how lo the majesty nf the

fantastic.'
"Spill it."
"I'd rather not.'
"If 1 believed in ghosts," s:tid
the Inspector, "I'd believ theio
was a ghost that's been raising all
hell in this case. But I don't believe
in ghosts. And everybody else in
1 his case has an alibi, and good
ones, too."
"Mr. Slater has yet to prove
one," reminded the doctor, "and
let us hope, if lie's the man we
want, that he can't. And 1 have a
curious feeling perhaps the sea
makes one an optimist but. I'm
sure Mr. Slater Is our man. I fcl
so strongly on the subject that I'll
pay your expenses as well as my
own If I'm wrong."
Arriving at Cherbourg, Marx re
ceived telegraph reports of the
progress of Mr. Slater. The Kronen
police had undertaken to keep him
under surveillance. Ho spread
telegrams before the doctor.
"He's staying at the Claridge.
Hired a suite of rooms. Spent the
first night in MontmtV'tre, same aa
many American tourists have un
der the circumstances," the doctor
commented. "Hasn't tried to see a
soul yet. Well, he will."
When they reached Paris a mem
ber of the surete met them and
entered their cab. He was a slim,
dapper little Frenchman and had
won a reputulion for the thorough
ness of his routine investigations.
"Your gentleman," he informed
'hem after he introdueed himself,
"has telephoned to a Mrs. Earl St.
Clair, an American widow, and has
arranged an appointment at her
home."
"Kxenlient!" exclaimed the docjp,
tor. "We are making progress."
"Would you mind." suggested
the Fienchmau. "enlightening me
on the case ? We're quite in the
dark."
"As a matter of fact." smiled
the doctor, "we ourselves are only
receiving a few stray rays of light.
Rut before long we hope that Mr.
Slater himself will be abb- to tell
you tlie siory of the case, and rnm h ,
more completely than we possibly
roiild. We ran only guess."
The Frenchman nodded.
"What are your orders?" he
asked.
"Simply to keep Slater under
surveillance night and day."
"That we have done. We have
assigned two of our best men." '
"dood."
"And we shall want to call on
this Mrs. K'trl St. Clair. You have
th' Hddress?" ( :
"Of course." V
The Frenchman gave an addresT-:
of a private borne near tlie Uni?. ;
"We shall proceed tonight." Bar!
the doctor. "The sooner this i
over, the better we pIihII all feci.
And we have nothing to gain by
delay. It would be best, under ail
circumstances, for your men to
guard the St. Clair home, botl
front and rear. Mr. Slater ma ,
want to make an abrupt exit aftei
w e arrive."
The Frenchman promised the
fullest cooperation, ami both t lie

him protuely. $

"and then we'll proceed at once t"
