Dr. Wiley is not an - orator and he made no attempt at eloquence'- last evening, but be had 'a message to de liver and the importance and serious ness of the message made oratorical decorating unnecessary. ' . Assuming that every man. woman and child desires to live and that life Is the greatest of all wealth, the ilis tlnguisehd speaker went on to show that that which we value most we safeguard and treasure least. "We all have the desire to live," he said "but we do not act In accordance with this desire. We have the wishbone but not the backbone." : - In this connection he recited the acts of state legislatures in . appro priating thousands upon thousands of dollars for needless projects and at the same time making but scant provision for the preservation of hu man life. New York state, he declar ed, appropriated at one time ..$100,- 000,000 for the widening and deepen ing of the Erie canal and even that amount has been spent without ac complishing much save the enrich ment of a few. contactors. With half that amount, he declared, be could eradicate tuberculosis In the same state. The state of Utah ( Just the other. day appropriated $35,000 for the protection of sheep ' from disease, he said, and gave the ' state board of health $10,000 with which to protect man from disease. "A sheep Is., therefore, worth three and a half times, as much as a man in Utah", he said. '. Tribute to Wilson. Congress has absolutely ignored (he need of health , protective meas ures and appropriations, whlje no president from the time of Washing ton to the time of Taft has ever so much as mentioned the public health In his inaugural address or message to Congress, he averred. However, he expressed his hope and belief tha' Woodrow Wilson would shatter this precedent because in all of his pub lic addresses he has always dwelt up on the necessity of safeguarding the health of the nation's inhabitants, Half of Children Starving. Warming up to bis subject, the speaker declared that one of the s'nf of the country la its Ignorance of the science of nutrition. Medical col . .... ... A leges ne included in nls criticism for neglecting this Important branch, de claring that In All the time he stud led medicine he was never told one word a boit the value of nutrition's a preserver of health and a phophy lactic of disease. "I undertake to say", he stated, "that right now half of the children In the United States are starving, some because of Insuffi cient food, and the others from im proper food." N . In this connection he 'dealt death blow to the popular Idea that babies to be healthy must be fnt. "It Is the lVur:U tu.li ui, cat it. iui a uaujr' iu Of rolling in fat." he declared, "and ye It Is every fond mother's desire to have her Infant so." Ignorance com bined with mother love make a com bination that is fatal to thousands o' panics, he stated. Because of their love for Ihelr ' offspring they feed them sweet s'uffs that are polsonon io the delicate svstenis of the llttlr ones. "Death collects Its taxes upon infancy In the months of July and August", he said, "and In those two nmn'hs there are a thousand bahiee dying In the United States every i,iv because their parents know noth'nji of the science of nutrition." Shoe Leather Adulterated. Or. Wiley delivered a scathing de nunciation of the adulterating cor porations whom he has been flght'n for ears. Incidentally he remarked that 'very sole of every shoe In the A good cook need never fear losing ber husband, he declared, and he ex pressed tbe belief that ' the. divorce evil would be greatly lessened . if mothers would Instruct their daught ers more in the culinary and less In musical and social accomplishments. Dr. Wiley was introduced by Dr. T. M.. Henderson, secretary of the Umatilla County Medical association, who paid the visiting physician a splendid tribute,' Incidentally, he told the audience of how the medical society hud .backed up Dr.' Wiley In his fight for pure food. .iiirt dim t westtuiuster and then at Whitehall after be bad taken tbe lat. ter lm from Wolsey It was not ujitll WOT. when Whitehall was de stroyed by Are. that St James1 pal ace became the tendon resldeuc of monarch.

Curious Origin of 8eme of Our Most Common Expressions.

"Electricity puts this licht with in your- means and'gives you the best light, regardless of cost. You get greater volume of light, plus safety, convenience, cleanli ness and healthfulness.
