President Wilson has called out the entire National Guard of the United States for service on the Mexican line and in Mexico. With the call comes the assurance that it is only for protection, but it is bound to be of far more moment than that The lethargy displayed by the administration in the past , indicates that a call would not be made unless there was dire trouble in sight, and tho fact that every metropolitan newspaper carried the front page filled with war stories and mobiliza tion stories is further indication that at Washington the war cloud is hang ing very low. The nation will respond to the President's call, not alone for mobi lization of the present militia but for the organization, of new companies in every town and hamlet. The like or dislike for the administration will be buried by American citizenship when the bugle sounds for recruits, and this nation will respond to the men of sixty years of age if needs be to in sure safety of home and country and to repel any invader that may try to cross our lines. Idaho's governor was introduced by Jacob W. Furth. The mass meeting at which he spoke was held under the auspices of Missouri lodge, Inde pendent Order of B'nai B'rith. THE WOOL MARKET. The wool sales at Pilot Rock showed the remarkable strength of the mar ket, says the Pendleton East Oregon ian. Tho prices paid to the growers are double the prices current a few years ago. The situation is due partly to the war and partly to a natural shortage in the wool supply of the world. The wool business is good and the future outlook is bright because with high prices prevailing many manufacturers are buying only what is actually needed and conse quently tho shelves are low. The prosperity in the wool business is basic and not due to any tariff ar rangement because wool is now ad mitted free of duty. WOULD OFFER SON ,1. FICE.

He believes in education, good citizenship and advancement, but he also believes in economy and Baker citizens will find in him a man who will watch the expenses of the school district very carefully. The picture of Adjutant-General George A. While as run in the Port land press was a fine introduction of this man who will he prominent if there is war trouble. The General's mug shows some striking lines of a fighting man. Tige Reynolds, cartoonist on the Oregonian, might have very well re versed his characters in yesterday's cartoon. Instead of making "poli ties'" of Mexico prominent, he could have put "politics" on Uncle Sam's right hand instead of Curranza's. Baker Democrats have organized t, Woodrow Wilson league with C. H. McColloch, arch Democrat of that city as the head. A good selection for a head, but why such a delay among Baker tried and true followers of Jefferson? Teslimony Is Taken in O-W. Suit Baker, June 20.

Ihese travelers feel themselves heroes, as, indeed, you come to regard them, in a manner of speaking, when you see them abandon themselves to a full, man's sized meal here. Trav elers to Berlin, especially tho Ameri can writing kind, live at the best ho tels. They -return with stories of plentiful and excellent food. Berlin is the wartime show place of Germany and the hotels whore writers go are the wartime show places of Berlin. What the American writers have said of the plentifulness and the excellence of the food, is not necessarily true. 11. re in Rotterdam you get the truth, straight from the dining rooms and kitchens of civilians in every part of Germany. It indicates that life in licimany is uncomfortable, highly so, for n civilian who is keeping house. Hero's a Swedish mechanic from Ger many, running around Rotterdam fill ing his arms with packages of bacon, bottles of olive oil and rice. Perhaps the Hollanders will refuse him per mission to take these things across the border but, "I'm going to make a try of it," he says. Here's a pretty American girl dining alone in a Rot terdam restaurant. She's studying music in Berlin. "I've just run over to Holland to spend a week eating," she says. Here's a Spanish woman with three little children. "I brought the baby down to get him some milk. Ho is tired of carrots, spinach and apples. So wonder; he is only seven months." And here arc Germans rich, elderly, retired Germans who haunt tho doorways of the hotels, restaurants, wailing for tho Ameri can plan dinner bell to ring and who seem to lie always eating, even at tho hated English tea hour. They are here a week. Then they go back to Germany. Germany, civilian Ger many is hungry. Not hungry for victuals, because victuals are any thing a human being can eat and di gest, but for decent food like meat and wheat and milk and animal and egeUiblc fats. (How and why tiny, toothless German babies eat apples, carrots, spinach and oatmeal, instead of gurgling milk, will be the subject (.f Shepherd's next German fond story.) is a table swarming with disease. Meat or eggs once a day is as often as meat food is needed in hot weather. Every dinner during the summer should include a raw vegetable salad. Germany has a law forbidding the sale of bread less than twenty-four hours old. A mup, or a rest of twenty minutes just after lunch each day will make the afternoon's work both easier and better. Too much food in summer makes too much heat in the body. This sur plus heat causes no small part of our hot weather discomfort. There is far more danger of typhoid fever in hot weather from eating too much meat, potatoes, bread, and other leavy foods, than from eating green vegetables. The second summer is a critical time for babies, not so much because of teething, but because this is the time when the baby is brought to the table and fed anything and every thing. It is much better to eat the lighter meal at noon and the heavier meal at night. Unless the digestion has been overcrowded with a hearty meal at noon, we will sleep better for having eaten a hearty meal at night. Care should be taken not to drink much water just after the noon meal. Many of the hot weather diarrheas are caused by flooding the stomach with water just after a meal and thus I preventing digestion. Fat is not necessarily an indication of health. We get thin because we get sick; we do not get sick because we get thin. Similarly, as we get well, we usually increase in weight. Disease is not to be cured simply by increasing the weight.
