HHLF-SEEKi;itS EXPOSED Beware of false prophets,
which come to you In flhccp'H clothing, but Inwardly they are
ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men
gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Matthew 7:10, III.
Divorces Clara Bow's Daddy
We like to think of ourselves as a great nation of book
lovers. And it does seem as if new books were coming out
in a perfect flood. Yet a writer in the current issue of
World's Work points out that the average American reads
only one new book a year.
I America publishes only two new titles for every seven
published in Russia, six in Germany and four in Japan. Our
total annual purchase of new books runs only around 100,
000,000 less than one new book per inhabitant, excluding
school text books. Our annual income is $89,000,000,000
unj wo spend less than one-third of one per cent of it on
books.
All of this is rather surprising. Evidently the booksellers
can take" heart. The market is far from saturated.
PARKING, AGAIN I
. No one would be more energetic in solving La Grande's
parking problem than Clint llaynes, chief of police, and we
thoroughly agree with him in his opinion, expressed in an
interview today, that general co-operation of all citizens of
the comniunity is necessary. Wc do not, however, approve
the proposal to provide a parking lot for out-of-town shop
pers, ff ' (,r,.iunM j.,.,.. t tt i. ..i.i i.i .i ,.
; farmers who drive to La Grande on Saturday can find
parking space in abundance if they go out of the business dis
trict. They can find space if they are willing to park near
Vacant lots on the edges of the business district, where park
ing lots might be established. Hut that is exactly what
i'armers do not want and it is exactly what merchants do
jiot want for them.
Tho criticism of the out-of-town shopper, as voiced by one
.farmer's wife in Monday's Observer, is" that the shopper's
cannot find parking space within a short distance of the
Ktores to bo patronized. They want to park close to those
stoves, buy, load and get the shopping done without having
to Walk two or three blocks to the car on n side street. They
believe that a different regulation .of parking, with the cars
of business men and their employes kept off the main streets,
would allow this. The Observer believes they are right.
; When a rancher's wife comes to town to buy groceries for
tho harvest hands on Saturday night she can, by hunting
liruund, find a parking space on Washington or Jefferson
avenues usually. She may, if fortunate, find a spot on Kim
or Kir or Fourth if she is willing to go a block off Adams.
But what farmer's wife, worn out with a day of cooking for
a harvest crew, is willing to do it? She isn't willing and wc
don't blame her. She sees no reason why traffic can't be
regulated so that she has a reasonable chance to park in the
samo block with the store she wants lo visit. Neither can we.
It should not be necessary to have a strict enforcement of
the hour-limit, perhaps, but in addition to securing the co
operation of business men and employes we think there
t'hould be sufficient checking by police to see that parking
stalls are not occupied by the half day and day and that
they arc not occupied two hours at a stretch during the
busiest time Saturday evening while their owners attend
theatres' or visit at the expense of hurried shoppers. If that
is done, outside visitors will find no fault with parking facili
ties and will shop with greater satisfaction which is the
ultimate purpose.

he will derive from the exercise.
When he comes In after tho

home-made gin, he will undo all

From these come all of tho physi
cal benefits that golf gives. If he

I sua lly the middtc-ugod busi
ness man, In the spring of the
year, turns his attention to tho
golf linlts or to some other form
of physical exercise. Kven if he
lias played golf the previous sum
mer, usually he has led a seden
tary life during the winter, Ver
often he Knows nothing of wheth
er his heart ami lungs can stand
tho stress of the exercise. Almost
every day In the Niimmer time the
newspapers give an account of
some elderly chap dropping dead
on the golf links Trout sun stroke
or heart failure, to say nothing
of tho other men who, after thir
ty-six holes of golf, go home
haustad. eel a hearty meal and I should take it easy
either die of acute dilatation of t not hurry up the grades, nor In-
Tou many men will play the nine
teenth hole at the end of every
nine holes. This peps them up, ot
course, for the next nine holes,
but the stimulation Is always fol
lowed by a long period of depres
siou and hi undoubtedly false.
Now, what should a man of
forty-five or over do before he
goes out on the links to play golf?
In the first place, he should have
a physical inventory made by go
ing to a competent medical ad
visor ami having his heart and
lungs gone over carefully; his
urine examined and his blood pres
sure taken. Modern business and
the worries and strains Incident
thereto wears out more hearts
and kidneys ..than we have any
Idea of.
If a mnn over forty-five is phys
ically lit, he should start out In
the spring and play with men his
own ime and In about the same
physical condition as himself. Ho
play slowly
and risk of an operallou. The
KKUITOLA formula Is the same
today as always and often brings
relief after the fbst dose. Many
people stale they gave up hope of
ever being relieved, but one dose
