Turk. 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. ,,

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.

When tho writers and telegraphers
begin to taj. their keys,
And the smitten hopes are uttering
their last despairing pleas

thc battle is a sham);
Hero is how the coliseum will accom

Here is how the hectic multitude will

How they nominate a leader for the

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!

A TWICE-TOLD TALE.
One of Interest to Our Readers.
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."
