The Old Pioneers
They have come up from the valley, und from tho mountains down,
They are gathered from tho country, from ctty and from town.
They came to awup reminiscences of time no on the wane,
Of the anxious months of (lunger, of "the trip across the plains."
, Their ranks are setting thinner, and their forma are bending low.
Their eye are growing dimmer and their locks are whits as snow.
Give them every comtort, tho they carry well their years,
They are grand old men and women, these "Old Pioneers.",
It was they who blazed the trails to this Empire of the West.
Their noble "works do follow them," they're entitled ko the best.
They forded streams and cut the rouds to the beautiful Grande Konde,
The fairest and most fertilu vulu that on the trail was found
And now their children multiply and ride In handsome style, ' I
"Go It ten miles an hour," while the old folks make a mile.'
But the old ftolks are contented In their declining years,
lney are still tlio Bamo brave noble "Old Pioneers."
' AlXet the
Until U
their years of annual reunion continue over on,
the lust old rtlKrim anions them all la tfone, '
They have sown the sugar beet where the cautaa once did grow,
'And tho palace car now follows the trail the pack mule used to go,
The schoolhouse now takes the place of the Indian "Wlckeyup," .
And they who wrought the change deservo the "Golden Cup,"
Scatter flowers in their pathway, adown declining years, .
They are grand old men and women, theso "Old Pioneers." '
The starry Hag of freedom waving over Oregon
Waa planted by the Pioneers, grandly moving on.
No trouble ever daunted them, these "Old Tenderfeet,"
They were "up and at It" early, often with scanty faro to cat. 1
Brave men then were brothers, and brave women sisters too, -
Honor and respect them, ye who dangers never new.
Generations have been coining, aye will come for years.
In the westward beaten pathway of these "Old Pioneers." - - .;
Let these annual reunions sacred ever be, ' "'
They wilt Boon get along without either you or me;. ..
Hut their children und their children's children will still coma and go.
Like tho forest flowers of summer, or winter's driven snow.
Let the happy people of this loveliest valley in the West, "
With heal til, wealth and plenty bo forever blest . . , ( ' 1

If Back Hurts
Begin on Salts
Fluih Your Kidneys Occasionally
by Drinking Quarts of - '
Good Water
No man or woman can make a mis
take by flushing the kidneys occasion
ally, says a well-known authority. Too
much rich food creates acids which clog
the kidney pores so that they sluggishly
filter or strain only part of the waste
and poisons from the blood. Then you
get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver
trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
often come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your bark hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage, or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, begin
to drink soft water in quantities; also
get about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
toevs may then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
ncid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia. and has been used
. for years to help flush clogged kidneys
r and stimulate them to activity, also to
help neutralize the acids in the system
so they no longer cause irritation, thus
nften relievins bladder disorders.
lad Salts is inexpensive and can not ,
injure; makes a delightful effervescent j
lithla.water Hrink. which evervone can .
take now aid then to help keep the
kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby
often preventing serious kidney compu
tations. Bv all means have your physi
cian examine your kidneys at least
twice a year.
