U. Clifford, state game warden, usklni; for information concernlni; Diamond lake and Its features as a summer resort. The letter, which was received yesterday, Indicates that the party will spend a vacation period on the lake. Morn than 90 per cent of tho summer residents of Ihe lake are California, tourists, Mr. CHITord said, and Ihe stale war dens stationed these sell about 10U0 non-resident fishing llcehBOS a year lo theso tourists. "Ilend that last sentence again: "Wardens stationed there sell about 1000 non-resident fishing licenses a year to these tdurists." Throughout the entire summer there are nearly as many people in thfl Diamond lake settlement as in the city of Koseburg. Those people, although much hearer to this point if the road were completed, are pro vided with food which is hauled in by truck lrom Klamath t'alja or Medford. Furthermore their cars all go alid come that way too. If we had a road completed so that cars could be driven from and to Diamond lake through the Umpqua valley, not only would tourist business through the valley be hearly doubled but we would have another city almost equal to Roseburg in size as a market for farm products. .'

Talks on Health By Dn. n. s. copeland ON10 can Koareely pick up a nowspapVr nowadays without Booing the account of Homo l'ttttil lty from fcarhon nionoxido gUH. On!y recently a man in Clovo land lighted tho pun burnfer muter & hot water heater in the kltchon of hiti apartment, and also tho three bunion of the pas inhKO. While Htaudinff in another room he suddenly felt ill, ami, realiz ing tho kh was escaping, ran to turn it out. He neglected to turn out the burner under the hot. wa ter heater. At this point he wan entirely overcome and Hank, to the floor, but at just that moment a neighbor luckily appeared, and saved hln life. You perhaps road of tho cook who put something on I ho guR atove to boil, and then proceeded to lie down and go to sleep. The water boiled over. put. out tho gas flume, and the whole family was asphyxiated by carbon monoxide. There are hundreds of such onsen, and what is to be done about il? Tho very fact thai carbon mon oxide gas has neither ' odor not' taste makes it a real menace lo public health. Disaster comes without warning. The manufaoturetr gas for heat lug and conking used i n almost every city where natural gas Is not availably contains un much aft L'o per cent of curium monoxide. Natural gas contains a negligible amount of It. Illuminating g.is contains much of It. The hazards from this poison ous gas lie not alone In the boil ing over of (lie fanfily en Men pot. There Is danger from the furnace dosed too tightly, In any leaking of a valve of tho gas range or from tho hot water heater. There ts a menace, too, In tho closed parage with the motor running, nnd on the congested city streets whore so much traffic lies. Civilization linn brought these new methods of heating and light ing and motive power. With It has come new dangers to public health. The danger from carbon monoxide Is very great. In spite of repented warpinits some persons will persist, with out thinking, in starting the motor of an automobile ruunins In the gir.t;e with window s ami doors shut tight. Without realizing the deadly menace iu the escaping cap OH HELl O DARLIKJ" bon monoxide gas, they are over-1 come and expiie. It is a seriuus tiling when there is a leakage or break in your gas lunge, if you have one oi the oid fushioned flexible tubes to a gas heater yo;t should make sure there is no escaping of gas from It. See that your water heater is in good condition. Pollution of the air from the exhaust of automobiles on con- ! gested city streets is' a problem I hard to control. We hope it will soon be solved by the automobile and gas manufacturers themselves Already there are' under way ex- perlhients on certain devices to lessen the trouble, cases of carbon monoxide poisoning there are certain things that must bo done for the victim. A doctor should be called at once. -Prevention ia ever better than the cure. We can give warnings of tho danger, but the public must take heed of the fact that care less use of these agents may re sult in ill health and even death. Answers to Health Queries C. R. Q.

Her parents have no special objection, lint do you think that sho should limit her, callers to one or two. She also goes out with various ones occasionally. She Is in her early teens. Is this all right? KAY. KAY: OI course, an attractive girl cannot help It if she at tracts a host of admirers. And if her Jiareiits have no objection to a number of young men calling on her there Is nothing more to be said. And I suppose, like every other girl, she will ultimately dis cover there is one whose com pany is lo he preferred beyond the others, and then the visits of the others will automatically cease. Hut it seems to me it would not do this young lady a lilt of harm tt she went out with other - grrl friends also and invited them to hor house onco in a while. What do you think? DEAR ANNIE LAURIE: 1 am a girl In my early teens and very fond of a boy two years my senior and would like to know If a boy will think more of a girl who shows she cares for him or holds him at a distance. For i would like very much to have Ills friendship. PEGGIE. PEGGIE: A boy will think more of a girl- who Is bright, pleas ant, cheerful, Interested in his hob bies and ambition. And this Is generally the kind of girl who makes a boy treat her with ro Bpect, because she lias self-respect and keeps him at the proper dist ance.

Shadow Sayings. It doesn't pay to become too friendly with cannibals, even though they have good manners. Sooner or later you're bound to get into trouble. At least that's what MiJ, Plor, Ifanid, Yam und Knarf the five little shadow-children with the turned-about names discovered. The cannibal's name was GooRie. Tie had a large head of bushy black hair, while eyes, huge mouth with two rows of shining white "A Turn or Twol" Exclaimed the Shadows. . teeth, and a wldo stomach, across which lie always kept his hands folded. He pretended to be a real cannibal, but the shadows didn't believe him. Indeed, they were right, for in reality he was noth ing but a perfume bottle. Yes, my dears, a perfume bot tle! His head was the cork and the rest or him was the bottle of perfume When he was full he had belonged to sister, but now, being empty, be had become the pro perty of the children and was kept in the nursery. The other night, after everyone was asleep, tho shadows found him standing In front of the doll lose by living next-door to a rich and prominent neighbor. Keep that in blind the next time you are tempted to feel slightly jealous of California because of her greater wealth and population.

Luke 23:3 A. , THE NEVER FAILING FRIENO - As wo continue our Lenten medi tations, I trust the brief messages I am privileged to give, may come to the attention ot some indivi duals who may have wandered away from the church and ine liod of their falhein. It la so easy to wander. I do not believe men de liberately make a choice of evil, and tuin tln-lr back upon God. It Is true that some make this their choice, but the great majority separate themselves gradually. Have you ever noticed the shep herd gather his sheep together at tile evening hour, and close them in the fold or corral, to protect them from the wild animalB that prowl around in the darkneRs of night. When they are released in the morning, , the grass tastes sweet Willi the morning dew upon it. Wllh their heads close to the ground, the band of sheep gi-ad.'i '- f ly spread out and go on and t. i step by step, until some may h; vj wandered far astray from the ro of the flock. So absorbed werb they in their task, that they "nib bled themselves away" from the others. And folks Just like that; witli their heads close down td the daily routine of life, they become so absorbed ih their various tasks, that iu a brief space of time, yes, almost unconsciously, they po- litely bow God and His church out of their life; "they have nibbled themselves away" from the Uod at"t church of their fathers. But the never falling Friend,, 11- tin hi Hnepherd, has not left you,, hut is anxious to have you return to the fold. He loved even those who nailed Him to the cross; and nrayed His Father to forgive them; how much more does He love you? Would you have a hsp py Eastertide? Travel with me daily in these meditations and with a quiet, yet firm determina tion, resolve In your heart to walk with Him.

I was a wayward child, I did not love my home; I did not love my Fathor's volot, I loved afar to' roam. , I was a wandering sheep, 1 would not be controlled: But now I love my Shepherd's voice: I love, I love the fold.
