J CLEANLINESS As milk is the natural food for the young, containing within itself all the reguirements of the body, and as any adulteration is injurious to the system, (either from absorp tion or otherwise) therefore the health of the consumer, and espec ially. the1 young, depend to a great extent upon those who handle the milk. ' And as there are so many ways in handling the cow as well as the milk after being drawn from the cow. Every consumer should visit the place from, whence he gets his milk (no matter if it is surrounded by a high board fence) and see how the cow and the milk are handled before using it as a food for the baby. : SPRING BROOK DAIRY it always open for inspection and incites you to come and see I I Practical Gunsmith Repairs Strictly Fi-stdass Guns re-stocked ' Keys fitted to door Locks WM.

Forest reserves are for the purpose of preserving a perpetual supply .of timber for home industries, preventing destruc tion of the forests cover which regulates the flow of streams and protecting the local residents from unfair competition in the use of forest and range.

"Yon Yonson" is now in its fifteenth year of success. It is on its way here for its annnal visit and will be seen at Steward' opera house on , Monday, Feb. 12th. Presidents may cqme and presidents may go; the gold standard may have swallowed up the silver question; air ships may take the place of automobiles, but "Yon Yonson will keep traveling on forever. Although this may seem an ex travagant statement, one is really inclined to believe the truth of it, remembering that this is the fifteenth year during which the good-natured Swede, during his first weeks in America, has proved an unfailing source of merriment to thous OREOON OLEB OLUB The Best College Show Portland "has ever seen" Oregen Daily Journal.

Something to kill the germs s the public cry, and poorly read physi cians often ostensibly give something for the purpose. Yet it is known full well that any drug used internally that will kill germs will also destroy the ceils of the body and even life itself. True, germs are a, cause of fever, but are secondary. Germs cannot prorogate or even live except the resistance if tha tissue be "weakened. This weakening then, is the first cause and the one to be attended to. Nature, in the white blood cells, has provided ample protection against germs. These cells, under the microscope, may be seen containing many germs which they have encased and killed. What then is the logical treatment? First, the Osteopath corrects the dis placements that weaken the blood flow through the part where the germs have located and multiplied. Then he tries the blood making organs that this army of white blood cells may be increased. In this way are the germs killed and the fevers aborted. The old South Methodist church at In dependence. Ore., built in 1875, has been dismantled and will be used as a storehouse. For mang years it was ued by all denominations, and - was identified with the early history of the town. - I RAH! RAH!
