Uncle San- Poor Business Man
QOilU yi'itra hro the government
fiiinil Itself facing tile timk of
runuiiiR a tunnel under u moun
Liin:out in Colorado that water
mililit be diverted to InigHla a
desert It advertlHi'd for hids and
a retiutahle contractor lnit it down
on wiper that he would bond him
uelf!ta dls the tunnel for f 1,S00,
OOO.lTiie Kovernment thought thin
waaZtoo inueli. It decided to drive
tue.tunnel llxelf. It did bo. The
conf: was three' million dollars.
Critics' have sugno.sted Hint Mils
was bad business. '.
This Is one of many examples
why the Kovernment cannot do
business as cheaply or as well as
private enterprise. It Is not con
tended that government Is less ef
ficient than private business. It Is
merely shown that there are fun
damental reasons why Kovernment
operation Is necessarily more cost
ly than private operation.
In building by day .labor, the
government doubtless .faces a
greater handicap than would the
private concern. The absence of
the yardstick profits leads to a
nnWB' leisurely spirit. The civil
service guarantees security of em
ployment. When the work' slack
ens and men can be spared they
are tint laid off as readily as in
private employ. Tusks are brought
to a conclusion slowly. Tlicy are
likely to go on three or four times
as long as contract jobs.
A striking example was Wilson
dam at Muscle Hhonls, lb Ala
bama. The army eiiKineuis esti
mated that It could be built rot
ten million dollars and a contract
doubt k'a could have been lot at
that figure. -The '.government de
cided to do the work Itself, five
yearj uxo 40 million dollar's had
Veeit spent nnd the job was not
ret Completed.
Oregon Editors'
- Opinions
Small Payrolls
A lit, too often oul' attention is
centered only on that, business
or Industry that has a large pay
roll of several thousand dollars
per week. -We are tempted to look
with disdain on the smull business
that .employs live, ten or twenty
people,' paying out from f 100 to
y 1 000 per week.
Did you ever look at It from the
angle that ten businesses with
twenty workers each are juat us
important as one large Industry
employing two hundred men?
T;i!ntJ' business houses with ten
enyjloyes contribute jusl as much
to -the industrial prosperity of a
city as two concerns with one hun
dred workers each.
The largo industries are fine,
and everything should be done to
utrraot and hold such enterprises,
but In the slmngle lor prosperity
letls not forget the little fellow. It
is too much like the life Insurance
nnfn that sells one one hundred
thousand dollar policy uud then
decides that there Is nothing In
selling, niero thousand dollar poll
clei any more. Ho soon finds that
til bread and butter will be paid
foi" more regularly If ho gives Ihe
Hiiijie careful attention to all pros
pective customers. Coos Hay

rulj'rs of America.
ki the list are prominent indus

newspaper publishers. Hut why
does Mr. (ieiard stop at the 59

There is a lot of bunk In Mr.
Gfurd s sirtlomcul, ot course. It Is
difficult to say who the real nil
erst nf America ure. It Is true that
u Comparatively lew men have u
big Influence on credit by reason
of their huge fortunes, but Uml
does" not mean that tlicy rule
Ainerk-a.. '
Jt. the present time we should
say the real rulers of America are
llioihers Morris, I'.roolihurt and
theif independent males, who by
reason of the close cleavage of
party lines In Ihe senate gives
their handful of voles undue
power.
Mr. (lerurd bases his statement
on the theory that money Is the
only factor that determines gov
ernment. Let capital abuse its
power and then It will learn how
weak It is before Ihe fury of an
enraged people. Albany Demo

true that the man who handles a

Some day something must be
done about it, and as we read of

week alter week, the opinion be
comes more sell led thut It should
be done soon. Would It be too
much, in the cuuse of safety, to re

Talks on Health
By
DU. R. S. COPELAND
HPOO MANY of us disobey the
rules of right living through
Ignorance. If more persona un
dorstood why they feel miserable,
why poor health pursues them,
they would chage their methods of
living.
A common cause for ill health
begins in the mouth. I should like
to explain the process of chewing
Ihe food so that you can see Its
important bearing on digestion.
The average .capacity of the
stomach is about five pints. Food
, Is not. properly prepared for the
stomach until It Is chewed and
thoroughly mixed with the saliva.
In (lie process, r great deal of
saliva or "spittle" Is reiiuired. Per
haps you will he astonished when
I tell you that the glands of the
mouth supply an amount of saliva
equal to the capacily of the stom
ach, five pints, During the entire
twenty-four hours (his liquid pours
Into the mouth and ultimately
reaches the stomach.
The salivary fluid Is more than
!J1 per cent water, while one-halt of
one per cent consists of solids.
Among these aolids are substances
known as "enzymes." Their full
function Is not fully known, but
the enzymes of the saliva have the
power to produce chemical changes
In rood taken Into the mouth.
The body cannot handle starch.
It is loo complicated a compound
t o be a hsorbed. Pefore t he food
or starch ran be digested it must
he changed into rucar. To make
I his chance the enzymes are given
us by nature.
Our roods, such as fruit t. veg
etables and cereals, all consist
Intgviy of starch, as do potatoes,
bread, beans, peas and many of the
common foods. Some oT the grains
of starch are packed a'.vay In firm
envelopes of fibrous material.
Probably one-half the things we
eat are made up of starch.
Our strong teeth u rind and r-ti
the food up fine. At the same
time Ihe saliva pours Into the
month, and with the chewing mo
tlon of (he jaws it Is thoroughly
mixer! with t he food. Y on c n
see why It is necessary not to bolt
the food.
Yon will notice that as you chew,
the food begins t o taste sweet.
That Is because the starches have
b t transformed into sugar. On
swallowing the marts It passes In
to the stomach, where the sali
va iv enzymes of the stomach po
i vork Then, "hatever starch
is le!t. iu taken up by the thuds
of the organ known as the pan
creas, or "sweetbread." Hut the
more carefully you chew your food

the less will be the demand made
on the stomach and the better you
will feel.
Thousands ' of persons suffer
from indigestion because they bolt
their food without proper chewing.
We all need the coarser foods of
generations ago in order that we
may use our jaws more vigorously.
If you have this bad habit of
eating hurriedly and not chewing
your food thoroughly change your
habit. Eat slowly and be free i.om

The County
By H. R. WOOD
For scenic beauty the TJmpqua
river has few equals and no super
iors. This is not only true of the
North Cmpqua, where work oil the
proposed highway will soon be un
der construction through rock
gorges and over the Fish creek
plaleau lino the famous 'Diamond
lake section, connecting with the
"skyline road" to Crater lake, but
It is also a fact as to the country
north and west of this city through
which the matchless Cmpqua rolls
on Us way to the sea. A recent
trip down the Vmpqua by this
writer gave glimpses all along the
splendid road t he farmers and
stockmen of that part of Douglas
county have built for themselves,
of this marvelous beauty spot. It is
not only a beauty spot, but the peo
ple down that way are privileged
to live In n prosperous section, and
although far lemoved from even
an echo of the locomotive whistle
or the gaily lighted theatres of
city life, have other attractions
t hat more than compensate the
ranch folUs for many of the "ad
vantages" of the populous centers.
Advantages Seen
This road down the Cmpqua to
Tyee, Kellogg. Elkton. Scottshurg
and lower river points, while it Is
something like a dozen miles fur
ther than by way of Dodge canyon,
has 80 many advantages over the
latter route that the extra dls-1
tancH is nullified. Of course, if j
business of residents of the low. ,
er rtver requires tneir presence ni
noithern points In the county, go
ing by way of Oakland or Drain
would expedite the trip, tiood roads
lead to all these plaes, and per
sons can choose their nearest
routes. Put for Itoaebuvgers go-i
tug to Keedsport or Oardiner, ori
to Intervening points like Elkton or j
Scoitsburg. the river road all the:
way is a most desirable route. j
Charming Vista Lures
Not only are scenic beaut ies j

NANCY LEB
DEAR NANCY LEE: j
I am in mv eaiiv teens and
married. My husband and I can
not get along. We are quarrel
ing all the time, sometimes over
trifling matters. . We talk1 about
parting but never get that far, I
went with him for quite a while
bul'o.'G we were married and we
quarreled then and now matters
are worse. I would be glad for
your advice.
BROKEN-HEARTED WIFE.
BROKEN-HEARTED WIFE: Is it
possible that your quarrels are
engendered by foolish trifles that
are of no importance, but become
monumental in argument? Think
bai'k on the various causes of your
disagreements and then see if It is
not possible to adjust, your mentali
ties. To bear and to forbear are
the two fundamental luies for a
liflppy marriage and both must be
practiced. You thought enough;bi
each other to get married, now see
if you don't think enough of each
other to make that marriage a suc
cess. You are both young, with
your lives before you. Make it
worthwhile and see if you cannot
refrain from quarrels and argu
ments unless there Is serious rea
son for dispute, in that case the
difficulty can be often easily ad
justed when the disagreement Is
on nebulous issues.
repose is inspirational; but folks
living tiro re ure a clever, cordial
lot, doing their bit unstintedly in
every day affairs that go to make
life for all worth living. Looking
across the valley to the river, at
the S. M. Adam! homestead, the
vision includes a magnificent,
mountain setting that enthralls
every lover of the beautiful in na
ture. Mrs. Adams aptly calls this
artistic production of the Master's
hand "'My Cathedral." No woods
man's ax has marred the beauty
of creation. It stands as perfect
as when it came from the hand of
its creator. No wonder that with
such environment latent talent in
youth buds into fullness and de
velops marvelously.

CHAPTER XXXVIII
The men could not come at the
stores through the cabin, there
was always an officer about the
deck or below. Tichel thought
hey might have eut through from
the after 'tween-decks, and the
stores were shifted in an effort to
find such a secret entrance to the
captain's stores. But none was
found, there was no way.
Three days later there was
whiskey forward again found, as
before, in a bunk. Two men
drunk, rope's-endings. at the rail
but no solution to the mystery.
Two days after that, the same
thing; four days later, a repetion.
And so on, at intervals of days.
for a month on end. The whiskey
dribbled forward a quart at a
time, the men drank It, and never
a trace to the manner of the theft.
In the end, Roy KUcup found a
bottle in his bunk and drank the
bulk of It himself, so that he was
deathly aick and like to die. Faith,
tormented beyond endurance, look
ing everywhere for help, chose at
last to appeal to Brander.
Brander had the deck that day.
Willis Cox and Tichel Were sleep
ing. Dan'l was In the main cabin,
alone; Noll in the after caWm
stupid v.Jh drink. Roy had been
sick all the night before, with
Willis Cox and Tichel working
over him, counting the pounding
heartbeats, wetting the boy s head,
working the poison out of him.
Hoy was forward in his bunk now,
still sodden.
Faith came frohi the after cabin,
passed Dan'l, and went np on deck.
Something purposeful in her face
caught Dani's attention, and he
went to the foot of the cabin com
panion and listened. He heard her
call softly:. -
"Mr. Brander!"
Dan-'l thought he knew 'where
Brander would be in the waist of
the Sally, no doubt. There was a
man at the wheel, and Faith did
not wish him to hear what she
said. She met Brander forward of
the cabin skylight, by ,the boat
house; and Dan'l, straining his
ears, could hear.
"Mr. Brander, I'm going to ask
you to help me," Faith said.
"I'd like to." Brander told her.
"What is it you want done?"
"It's Roy I'm desperately wor
ried; Ml-. Brander. ,
"He's all right, Mr. Cox tells me.
He'll be well enough in a few
hours." .
"It's not Just tlifs drunkenness,
Mr. Brander. It's more. He is in
my charge, in a way. Father bade
me take care oC him.; And he's
taking the wrong path."
"Yes," Brander said quietly.
Dani looked toward the, utter
caliin, thought-of bringing Noll to
heir;,But there was no harm .in
this' .'that, they were saying; ' . no.
harnWralher, -good. He listened.
"My husband- is not not the
man he was, Mr. Brander," Faith
said steadily.
'And Mr. Tohey I can t trust
him.- I've got to come to you."
Dani decided at that, to bring
Noll and risk it, trust to his luck
and to his tongue to twist their
words. He went soTtly across to
the after cabin and shook Noll's
shoulder: and when the captain
opened his eyes, Dan'l whispered:
'Come, Noll Wing! You've got
to hear this."
Noll sat up stupidly.
"What? What's that you say?"
"Faith and Brander are together
on deck, whispering," Dani said.
He banged his clenched fist into
ins open hand.
'I've grown up with Faith; I like
lier, but 1 can't stand by and see
them do this to you!"
"What ure they about?" Noll
asked, his face flushing. He -was
on hia feet.
Dani gripped his arm.
"I heard her promise him you
would soon be gone, sir. That
you were Bick. That you "
Noll strode Into the cabin.
"Quiet!" Dan'l whispered.
"Come!"
tie led him to the foot of the
companion stairs, bade him listen.
And the malicious gods played in
to Dani's evil hands, for as they
listened, Faith was saying:
'Try to make htm like you. But
be careful. He doesn't know. It he
guessed "
llrauder said something which
they could not hear a single
word, and 1-atth cried:
"You can. Your'e a man. He
can't help admiring you in the end,
I " She hesitated, said Helpless
ly: "I'm putting myself into your
hands
Dani had wit to seize his for
une. "There, sir!" lie cried out.
But thtjre.was .uo need of spur
to Noll Wing now. The captain
had reached the deck Svith a single
ush. Dani was nt his heels. Faith
and Brander sprang apart before
their eyes, and because Hie inno
cent have always the appearance
of the guilty there was guilt In
every line of these two.
Noll Wing, confronting them,
had in that moment the stature of
a man, he was erect and strong.
his eyes were level and cold. He
looked from Faith to Brander.
"Brander, be gone," hit said.
Faith come below."
Brander took a step toward Noll.
Faiih said quickly to him: -
"No!"
And she smiled at him as he
halted in obedience.
Then she turned to her husband.
passed him. went down into the
ubin, and Noll, with a last glance
at Brander, descended on her
heels.
Dani facing the fourth mate,
grinned triumphantly, but for an
instant he snw death in Brander's
eye?, so that his mirth was frozen.
Thfti Brainier turned awav.
Faith went down into the -cabin j
to await her husbairtl. He followed ,
her slowly. He onne in nnd shut!
Mi dror behind . Win. The man ;
coulH'ihn li'uirif-lf. Neiilie-;
le.s, he thrust the door idmt with;
a force that shook the thin parti
tion between the cabins. And he
saapped the bolt that held It
Ciosed.
Then he turned and looked at
Faun. There was a iurious
strength in his countenance at
that moment; but it was like the
strength of a maniac. Hia lips
twitcned tensely; his eyes moveu
like the eyes of a man who is
dizzy from too much turning on
his own heel. They jerked away
from Faith, returned to her, jerked
away again all without any move
ment of Noll's head. And as the
man's eyes wavered and wrenched
back to her thus,, the pupils con
tracted and narrowed in an effort
lo focus upon her.
For the rest, he was flushed,
brick-red. His whole face seemed
to swell. He waa inhuman; there
was an apelike and animal fury in
the man as he looked at his wife.
Abruptly, he jerked up his hands
and pressed them against his face
and turned away; It was as if he
thrust himself away with this pres
sure of hia hands. He turned his
back on her, went to his desk, and
unlocked u drawer. Faith knew the
drawer; she was not surprised
when he drew out of It a revolver.
Bending over the desk, with this
weapon in his "hand, Noll Wing
made sure every chamber was
loaded. He paid her no attention.
Faith watched him Tor an in
stant; then she turned to the
uench that ran across tiie stern
and picked up from it a bit of sew
ing embroidery. She sat down
composedly on the bench, crossed
her knees in the comfortable atti
tude of relaxation which women
like to assume. One foot rested on
the floor; the other swayed back
and forth, as if beating time, a few
inches above the floor.
Sitting thus, Faith began to sew.
She was outlining the petal of an
embroidered flower, and she gave
this work her whole attention. She
did not look up at Noll.
The man finished his examina
tion of tho weapon; he tur.owd It
in his hand; he litied it and lev
eled it at Faith. Still Faith did not
look up; she seemed unconcerned.
"Faith!" Noll said harshly.
She looked up then, met his eyes
fairly, smiled a little.
"What is It, Noll?"
"I'm going to kill you," he said
with Htil'f lips.
"All right,"' she said quickly, and
bent her head above her sewing
once more, disregarding him.
Noll was stupefied. This was
no surprise; it was the helpless
ness which courage inspires in a
toward. For Noll was a coward In
those last days. His face twisted;
his hand was shaking. He stared
over the revolver barrel at Faith's
orown head. j
Her hair was parted In the 'mid -dle,
drawn back about her face.
The white line of skin where the
Hair was parted fascinated him;
le could not take his eyes from it.
The revolver muzzle lowered with
out his being conscious of this
fact; the weapon hung in his hand.
His eyes were still fixed on
Faith's head, on the part in her
hair. She wore an old, tortoise!
jomb, stuck downward Into the 1
hair at the back of her head, its
top projecting upward a singular,!
old-fashioned little ornament. 1
There was a silver mounting on
it; and the light glistened on this
silver, and caught Noll's eye, and
held it.
Faith continued her quiet sew
ing. Noll's tense muscles, little bv
little, relaxed. His fingers, looked i
their grip on the revolver butt;" it
dropped to the floor with a chat
ter. The sound seemed to rouse .
Noll; he strode toward Faith. i
"By Jupiter!" he cried. You'll"
He swung down a hand and
gathered the fabric of her worK
between harsh fingers. Her needle
was in the midst of a stitch; it
pricked him. He did not feel the j
tiny wound. He would have snatch
ed the stuff out of her handB. He

felt as if Uwere defending her..
But when his hand swept down
between hers and caught the bit :
of embroidery. Faith looked up at
him again, and she caught his -eye.
That halted him; he stood jor ;
an Instant motionless bending, n
above her, their faces not six
Inches apart; - ,
Then the man jerked his hand
away. He released his grip on tho
bit of fancy work, but the needle
was deep in his finger, so that he
pulled it out of the cloth. The
thread followed it, when his quick
movement drew the thread to full
length; the fabric was snatched out
of Faith's unresisting hands. It
dangled by the thread from the
needle that stuck In Noll's finger.
He saw It, jerked the needle out
with a quick, spasmodic gesture,
and flung it to one side. He did
not look at it; he was looking,
still, at Faith.
"Put- that away!" he said
hoarsely. '
Faith smiled, glanced toward the
bit of white upon the floor.
"I'm afraid there's blood on it,"
she said.
"Blood!" he repeated under his
(breath. "Blood!"
She folded ner nanus quieiiy up
on her knee, waiting.
"I want to talk to you," he said.
fthe nodded. ,
"All right. Do."
His wrath boiled through his
lips, chokingly. . -
"You " he stammered. "You
and Brander "
Her eyes, upon his, hardened.
She said nothing, but this harden
ing of her eyes was like a de- (
fiance. He flung his hands above '
his head.
"By Jupiter, you're shameless!"'
he choked. "You're shameleBS I
shameless woman! And him 1
tosk him out of a hell hole, and he
takes you! I'll break him in two
with my hands!" .
