Automobilo travel first reaches jn a New Jersey town the pastor of a church is admittedly afflicted u-ith tuberculosis. Proceedings have been started bv health authorities to compel him to vacate his pulpit. It is alleged that by continuing to occupy it Sunday after Sunday he is spread ing the seeds of the disease and con stituting himself a menace to health. . Whatever may ibe thought of the merits of this particular case, what ever may be its outcome, it serveu to call attention to one or two important facts which will bear constant repe tition. One of these is that quaran tine is quite the most effective method for preventing the spread of any dis ease. It is much more effective than the, old method of fumigation, which is fast falling into disrepute. The belief that disease germs will flee the vicinity, in which horrible odors are released is missing away as modem scientific' investigators begin to cast doubts on it. The victims of com municable diseases and most diseases 'are communicable if isolated cannot 'endanger the healthy.. The home treated to a thorough scrubbing after the invasion of the family by some disease is as safe as it can be made from becoming a breeding place of ep idemics. And hot soap-BUds are no more cxpensivo than suffocating chemicals. Another important fact which can not be too often repeated or too well remembered is recalled by the New Jersey case. This is the fact that dis ease is no respeetor of persons. The wise and the foolish, the young and the old, the brave and the cowardly arc alike its victims. Those who boast that "they are not afraid" of this or that disease may teU the truth. Buth, their fearlessness offers no pro tection against invasion and suffering. The boast is an enipty, foolish one. When there is disease in one's vi cinity a little quarantine against it is a. good, wise, safe preventative meas ure. Those parishioners who persist in attending the pulpit ministrations of a diseased preacher would sow more piety and good sense by quietly re maining in their own homes out of range of possible infection. The quar antine for and against disease cannot be too strongly commended. ,, NEW CURTAINS AND DRAPERIES To Make the Home Beautiful Summer draperies aud Curtain materials that will appeal strong ly to all home lovers may be seen in great new assortment in our drapery section Special .displays tms weeK in we.

When the frost is on the boomlets and the favorite sons arc shocked, When the bosses pick the- winner with the darkest horses docked When each delegate is herded and de livered to his stall. And the mob of "party leaders" is ad mitted to tho hall When tho writers and telegraphers begin to taj. their keys, And the smitten hopes are uttering their last despairing pleas Here's the lineup of the battle (and thc battle is a sham); Hero is how the coliseum will accom modate the jam. Here is how the hectic multitude will congregate to see How they nominate a leader for the frantic G. O. P. Here is where thc grand excitement will be trotted in and loosed When the national convention is old guarded or bull-moosed By the hidden strings from some-whcre-you-cnnnot-take-a-look When the frost is on the boomlets and the favorite sons are shook!

Good news bears . repeating, and when it is confirmed after a long lapse of time, even if we feel secure in ac cepting its truth now. The following experience of a La Grande mn is con firmed after one year. Mrs. M. E. Nibler, 2100 Third St., La Grande, says: "My back ached and I had severe pains through my. right side. I was all crippled up, and I found it hard to do may house work. One of mv relatives had used Doims Kidney Pills and advised me to try them. Two boxes drove away the aches and pains, and I have had r.o trouble since." Lasting Rerults. Over a year later, Mrs. Nibler, said: "I have hnd no kidney trouble since Donn's Kidnev Pills rid me of it." Priced 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kmnev remedy get Donn's Kidnev Pills the same that Mrs. Nibler has twice publicly recom mended. Fostcr-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
