not place as much emphasis on Lent
observation as others, there are good
ly numbers who do with the result
that there are prone to be less parties.
The evening Kaffee Klatch will not
convene during Lent. The last big
society event prior to Lent was the
Sodality dance last Monday evening.

Members of the G. I. A. to the B.
of L. E. had a fraternal and social '
day of it Thursday. During the after
noon they initiated a class into their
auxiliary and in the evening the mem
bers had a pleasant social affair. Com
mencing at five a musical program
was carried out, followed by a de-
licious banquet and that in turn by a I
pleasant evening. The husbands of
the auxiliary members such of them
as were not out on a run came to
enjoy the program and the dinner.
Rev. E. B. Fyke sang a vocal solo as
the opening number, followed by sev
eral vocal selections by Mr. Ellis.
Miss Edith Darland played a piano
solo as the closing number on the
program of music. Then came a ban
quet at which the auxiliary members,
their husbands and a few special
guests participated. At regular in
tervals the auxiliary stages events
similar to the one Thursday evening
and, it is admitted, these help keep
the interest in the order at the high
note that it is. Several others are to
be initiated at nearby meetings.
The Dekum club was entertained in
a novel and pleasant manner Tuesday
evening by Mr. and Mrs. L. F. Dunn
at their home on Main avenue. The
home bore patriotic decorations, the
American flag being exhibited in the
front window of the residence, while
the interior carried many appropri
ate symbols of Washington's birthday.-
Score cards in the shape of
Washington hatchets (not Carry Na
tion hatchets, as explained, by Mr.
Dunn) were among the extraordinary
features. Five Hundred, the staolo
game of the club, was enjoyed by th-3
members and a few club guests until
almost midnight when exquisite re
freshments were served. Mrs. Sadie
Van Buren was awarded lady's honors
for the highest score, while the editor
of the Observer, through some un
precedented burst of luck, captured
the high score for the male section
and was awarded the prize. Beauti
ful china, painted by the hostess, con
stituted the prizes. - After refresh
ments, neighborly conversation which
might have properly been . termed
good, old fashioned visiting, added to
pleasures of the evening.

' The postoflice force celebrated their
first anniversary in the new federal
building on Monday evening, Febru
ary 23, when they participated in a
big chicken dinner in the basement.
The entire force had a holiday and
took advantage of it by preparing the
big banquet which occurred at 6
o'clock. The menu consisted of
chicken pie, escalloped potatoes, sal
ads, pickles, ice cream, cake and cof
fee. After the banquet the clerks
engaged in a spirited contest by cas
ing the postofflces in Oregon by coun
ties. Ed Payton made the best re
' cord by throwing a percentage of
99 2-5 correct, Phil Robbins came
second with 99, Miss Beiver third with
98 2-5, Miss. Snook fourth with 97,
and Mr. Bragg fifth with 90. Those

Stoddard j also the following guests:
The Misses Blanche, Grace and Em

that each and every one enjoyed the
occasion hugely .

The line of study for the Neigh
borhood club continues its journey
southward, and next Tuesday after
noon begins the study of South Amer
ica, which subject will be under con
sideration for the rest of the club
year. The ladies having the papers
next Tuesday feel somewhat handi
capped as the promised books on
South America loaned to the club
from the state library have not' yet
been received. They are expected
before another meeting. : ' '
We say advertising pays. Each
day some patron of this paper comes
to the office and tells us that their
ad. has served the purpose, "Take it
out" Sales are made, first by let
ting some one who wants something
know that you have that very article
for sale, second by supplying that
article according to representations,
and third by continued fair treatment
and good goods. That, in brief, is
the whole scheme of advertising. In
stance one concrete ' example. Mrs.
Robert Pattison of this city took the
agency for the Gossard make of cor
set in June, 1907, She made no house
to house canvass to let La Grande cit
izens know that she had the agency,
but built up a big business by ad
vertising her goods through the med
ium of this paper. Naturally women
who bought spoke of this corset, much
the same as they do of any dress
goods or dress pattern. It was the
topic for conversation. The next
time they saw the word Gossard in
the columns of this paper they read it
partly because they knew Mrs. Pat
.tifcon, by name or personally, and
partly because a corset is part of -woman's
wearing apparel. At first
she said she sold three or four a
month. She kept on advertising be
cause she understood the fundamental
principle of advertising. Now those
sales have increased to three and four
a day. It was not a fitful attempt
at something which every merchant
believes to be part of his business,
but it was a knowledge and belief that
the corset, being in all respects good
ani of fine wearing quality, would in
time make its way into every woman's
wardrobe. It may not have done that
but time will have to prove that It
was a new idea in corset making, lac
ing in the front instead of the back.
Mrs. Pattison knew that she would
have to re-educate the women to the
use of an article that no one had
tried and could say nothing about
From our standpoint that is immiter
ial, for men have no use for corsets.
What we are preaching is ADVER
TISING DOES PAY. She has con
vinced people that the new style is
the right style. She has interested
them by speaking to them in cold
print. But another difficulty arose.
Geo. A. Anderson Co., who recently
moved here from Boise held the agen
cy for the same corset The com
pany had not counted on conflicting
contracts of agents in the same city.
Like practical people they settled
this point by taking Mrs. Pattison
into the store where she has room to
display what both sought to sell. But
that is neither here nor there in this
story. If the man or woman who has
something to sell and has the grit to
stick to the game until results come,
even though she may be broke in the
meantime, advertising,' fair treat
ment, and good goods WILL AL
WAYS WIN OUT, and the Observer
is ready and willing to prove this
assertion to the letter. Adv. -

significant fact, that 40 per cent of
the adults present were men argues
that this subject of education is not
going to be left solely to the mothers.
The enrollment at this school came
somewhat to grief in point of num
bers , owing principally to the fact
that this matter -was left for the final
windup of the meeting after many of
the parents had been compelled to
leave. But in the course of a few
weeks it is safe to assume that the
enrollment at this school will be up
to the average or better. But feeling
was strong for the movement and
from indications will strike firm
roots in the hearts and minds of per
sons with children! in, school. The
next meeting will be held on March
13th. Acommittee on constitution
has been appointed composed of J.
K. Fitzgerald, Mrs. Dryborough and
Mrs. ' Wingo. A committee on pro-1
gram was likewise named consisting
of Mrs. W. W. Rogers, Mrs. H. C.
Vinack, and Miss Caroline White.,
The officers of the North Side Par-1
ent-Teachers Association who ' will
serve for the year are W. V. Connor,!
principal of the school, president; H. j
C. Vinack, vice-president; an dMissi
Elizabeth Bunnell, secretary-treasurer.
The movement is on foot and will
in a short while amply repay parents 1
and teachers for the little that is in- j
volved in making this movement the
grandest effort that has been con
ceived for real progress in education.

Kidneys, then Back hurts and
Bladder bothers you.
Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged
and need a flushing occasionally, else we
have backache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rbeu
nrntio twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder dis
orders. You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store hero,
take a tablcspoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined witli
lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged
kidneys and stimulate them to norma!
activity. It also neutralizes tV.c acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive:
makes a delightful effervescent lithin
water drink which even-body should tiike
now and then to keep their kidneys clean,
thus avoiding serious complications.
A well-known local druggist Buys he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe
in overcoming kidney trouble while it i
