Opinions
n (Coos Bay Times)
VlHEN denize Joseph announced
hl candidacy tor i Liu rvpult
"Tlcan nouimaiiuu for governor of
this stale, he was generally con
ceded fourth ,or fifth place in. the
place in the ruce largely because
ot Lie recent efiort made to disbar
him. It was the opinion of me
so-called political pioguostlcators
of the state that lie had little
chance, not only because of this at
tempted reflection on his character
but because uf his so-called radi
calism.. Now as the smoke clears from
the battle Joseph looms as the re
puolicun nominee and with a good
chance of election to Oreaon's
highest state office. In nllicr i
words some forty thousand people
iiave concluded that (ieorge Joseph
is not radical enough to hurt the
state, nor guilty of an accusation
sufficiently important to cause his
disbarment.

How They Guess Now
(drums I'ass Courier)
Joseph's supporters, who took
second place in tho Josephine

says he doesn't like utilities Is cer
tain to become Oregon s next gov

Corhelt declare that a democratic
governor is the answer to Friday's

candidate, made a splendid race, it

without a doubt took mora votes

Talks on Health
By
DIl. It. S. COP ELAND
IT Is distressing to know how
widespread deafness In children
really Is. Ono of tho most hope
less of all ailments is steadily
progressing deafness. When once
It begins (be trouble goes on and
on, gradually growing worse.
A little over a year ago, the bu
reau of education of tho Culled
Stales department of the interior
made a report on this subject. It
gave tho unpleasant news that
more than throe million children In
the Culled States have Impaired
hearing. This is a serious mat
ter. Probably the most common
causo of deafness Is catarnlh. The
common cold may develop Into ca
tarrh. The Inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the nose and
throat extends up the passageways
to the middle ear. This produces
what Is called "middle ear deaf
ness." There ran ho no doubt that pus
absorption from any part of Hie
body will grout ly lower the resist
ance to disease. Fermenting sub
stances In Ihe intestinal (race pro
duce poisons which affect the
whole system. Catarrhal troubles
are considerably Influenced by
(heir absorption.
Kven the strongest of us can
not resist the effects of these
poisons. The sources should be
cleared hp. By the right diet,
plenty of exerelse. and right liv
ing habits, we should keep these
wonderful organs of ours In the
best of working order.
There nro other causes for deaf
ness besides catarrh. Some per
sons have a tendency to over
secretion of the wax glands of the
car canal. Then the wnx may ac
cumulate In this canal and It must
be removed by a (lector. This form
of Impaired hearing Is sometimes
called "external car deafness."
There is still another kind of
deari;es!-"internal oar destne s."
The nerve of hearing i called
the "auditory nerve." This nerve
ends In delicale fibres which float
iibout in a fluid found hi Ihe ca
vil ies of the bone. Kxcept where
perfecl Ileal Hi Is present these
structures mav uot operate as they
should
Various Ihli't;.; may cne-e imi mi

children ill health from any source
the after effects of scarlet fever
or lowered Vitality from other
troubles may bring on deafness.
It is a thing which should not bo
neglected. Medical knowledge to
day affords muny methods of re
lief from deafness. If taken In
time appro lalo treatment miiy
bring about full recovery.
The deaf child labors under
muny difficulties. His; deafness
cannot but affect his disposition.
Many a deaf child becomes retiring
and morose. He cannot hear his
teacher or what the class is saying.
His contacts with the other chil
dren are difficult. Ho does not
progress in his school work. He
lags In his classes and gets dis-N
couraged. . f
When the slightest trace of deaf
ness is detected in a child let the
family doctor find out what Is
wrong with him physically. The
first stop is to make sure tlmt neeu
ed measures are applied for build-
i Ing up the health. Tho deafness
may be oniy temporary but .It is,
unwise to neglect it. -i
In Borne schools classes In lip-reading-
for permanently 'deaf chil
dren have been started. This Is
really constructive work and
should he encouraged. Kor thnuy,
sands of children this. will mean
social and economic advance. La-!
tor In lire lip-reading Will enable
tho deaf person to compete In the
business and professional work In
making a living, as it now doe a
in gaining an education. -4

There is no royal road to gaining

twenty-two, who goes to college.
I met this young man on a

a. great friendship.
When I was leaving he didn't
ask me to correspond. Thanks
giving 1 sent him a card. Was
this proper? Of course he wrote
and acknowledged it, and then we
began corresponding. In the first

WHERE'S EMILV??
if by Carolyn Wells 1
WHAT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE
Just before the rehearsal of her
marriage to Rodney Sayre, Emily
Duane leaves her exclusive Hill
dale Park home to visit the hospi
tal. She does not return and
Rod and the guesta become con
cerned. Now Go On With th Story.
CHAPTER VIII.
' Betiy didn't know of Nell's pen
chant for Rod, but she did know
that the bridesmaid had wanted to
be maid of honor, and she secretly
exulted over the situation.
She was about to propose that
they telephone for Mrs. Penning
ton when Pearl came to her and
said:
"Miss Betty, ma'am, some while
ago, Mr. Pennington, he telephoned
to know ff his wife was here. AU(1
I tole him she wasn't"
"How long ago, Pearl?"
"Lak' bout half an hour, maybe,
maybe pot so long, mayliu a quarter-hour."
"That's funny, The Penning-.
Ions went home together, didn't
they, Aunt Judy?''
"Yes, Betty. I said good-bye to
the two, as they left the house.'1
Well, then, and Burton Lamb
sized up the situation, "Emily took
Mrs. Pennington with her over to
the hospital to see' the new baby,
and they've no idea how the time
has gone by!"
'That's Emily all over!" de
clared Nell Harding. "Of course,
Burt, you re right. How can any
body be so thoughtless and so
careless of other people's conven
ience?" ,
"Well," Mr. Splnks said decided
ly, "either we put this thing over
or we don't. I suggest we go right
straight bang through with It, aud
we'll just have time if we begin
at once, and then you folks can
coach Miss Duane and Mrs. Pen
nington in their parts afterward.
Llke's not thoy'll come In while
we're at it. Hey, Mr. Sayre, come
along here. Mr. Garner, you get
up there In the bower, will you?"
Burton Lamb went back to the
lounge to tell Rodney of the deci
sion, and to his surprise the obdu
rate bridegroom refused to budge.
"But Rod, you must. And, too,
Emily and Mrs. Pennington will
know their stunts without rehears
ing. But you won't You don't
want to come a cropper at the big
show, and you sure will, if you
don't get onto the quirks right
here and now."
"Emily will tell me Just what to
do, and I'm not such a stupid that
I can t catch on. And If I make a
terrible break, they'll forgive a
clumsy bridegroom."
Rod Bettled back In the porner
of the 6ofa and lit another cigar
ette. "You're a brute," Lamb told
Rqdnwr "' havn't time to argue
with you, but as I'm your best man,
I've got to get you through some
how, I suppose. All right, VU do
your act myself, and then I can
cqach you. For Heaven's sake,
when Emily oomes, shoot over to
the drawing-room as fast as you
can. ou may be in time.
Lamb returned and made up the
most plausible yarn he could think

"You re as blind as a bat," roared Muggsy Mulligan.
"That may be," smiled the umpire, "but you heard me, for I

things through.
"You," Splnks said to Aunt Judy,
"please stand up here and person

The men were duly stood up,i
Lamb insisting on being bride
groom and saying he could under

Spinks suddenly found he bad
no bride!
Betty was determined to i:t
letter-perfect in her own part and
Nell exulted in any contretemps
that threatened the perfect per
formance of Emily's wedding pa
geant . "Never mind the matron of hon
or," he shouted, daneing about in
an agony of haste and excitement.
"You've got to give the bride away,
ain't you? And you've got to have
a bride to give away! Well, this
IS it!"
"Best thing, too," he exulted.
"Now, you Blacky, you pay strict
attention to everything 1 say, and
then you can tell your mlBtress ex
actly What she Is to do. See?"
Being nobody's fool, Pearl saw
and realized that this was no Joke,
but that Bhe was to be of real help
to her beloved Miss Em'ly, and
Bhe put her whole mind on the
task.
She slipped her hand through
the arm of Aunt Judy, as Instruct
ed, and stood waiting, every sense
alert to obtain all possible infor
mation to pass along to the real
bride later.
Aunt Judy, too, caught the
spirit of the thing, and If some of
the bridesmaids giggled at the in
assorted assembly, the principals
did not.
Burton Lamb, doubling as bride
groom and best man, stood back
of a tall palm, awaiting the signal
to show himself.
But when the opening strains of
Mendelssohn were Jerked out of
the grand piano by the mechanical
talent of Spinks' assistant, it was
too much, and excepting, perhaps
the miniater, the whole party went
off in peals of laughter.
Even this did not bring Rodney
Sayre to the scene.
He was thinking deeply. He well
fcnew Emily's wilful ways, her sud
den yielding to a whim, but be did
n't think she would forget or ig
nore the rehearsal ot their wed
ding. .
He was not at all angry at her,
or even annoyed, but he i couldn't
quite understand.
Well, at any rate, he could obey
orders. She had Bald, "Don't budge
from the Bofa until I come back,"
and nothing short of an lrresistiblq
force would make him budge.
Nor was this merely a dogged
or slavish obedience to orders.
It was only that Rod loved his
Emily so truly and so deeply that

he wanted to do as she asked Mm,
now and always.
She was whimsical, wilful, yes
even stubborn; or, as that queer
man had put It, "pig-headed," but
with It all she was open to convic
tion and quick to acknowledge her
mistakes.
So Rodney ,ia'. and mused, and
when the muslo began and tho par
ty broke into laughter, he heard it
unheeding.
What to him was a wedding? re
hearsal without Emily? Had he
taken his part, probably Nell Hard
ing would have slipped into the
nride's place, and that would nave
been more that he could stand.
Well, all he could do was to
wait. When she came, she woulu
tell him all about it, though ho
thought he knew already, and
smiled a little as he fancied Emily
bending over the adorable little
bundle of humanity, and making
those crooning sounds that all wo
men use to address a baby.
A step on the veranda was fol
lowed by the entrance of Jim Pen
nlngton.
He looked at Sayre In astonish
ment. "What are you doing, flocking
In here all alone? Is the rehearsal
over? I called to take Polly home."
