CHURCH PLANNING FOR CELEBRATION Lots of good things can be said about Chicago in spite of the gang wars. Consider the tremendous number of arrests made by police the last few days. And then consider that they were made by policemen who haven't, had pay for several weeks ana none in immediate prospect. i The wreck of the liner Adnii nil Benson off the north jetty of the Columbia river again brings public attention to the competency and methods of steamers plying the coast. So far no lives are reported lost and running aground in a heavy fog is a mishap not easily avoided. Some criticism will be directed at the ship's officers on two points, first in giving passengers the impression that there was no danger when the vessel hit the sands and second when the passengers were removed by lifeboats without being equipped with life preservers. Telling the passengers there was nothing to worry about can probably be justified as the only means to prevent possible panic. No particular advantage could have been gained by telling of the seriousness of the situation un less it would have brought about the wearing of life pre servers. No particular harm was done by it. But failure to have life boat passengers equipped with preservers when they were to pass through a heavy surf cannot be so easily excused. Fatalities might easily have happened.

' A HOSPITAL EXPERIMENT " In New York City there is soon to be completed a hospital that will be unique and yet fill a great national requirement that has been felt for generations. Tho only reason it is so tardy in coming is the pride and unselfishness of that class of people it will sc-i-ve. , , ' This new wrinkle in hospitals will be an institution for the great middle class. It will offer something never offered be fore tho best of hospital, medical and surgical care at a cost within the reach of the millions who pay their way and prefer to forego urgent hospital treatment they cannot afford rather than be a charge on charity. ' Surgeons' and doctors' fees will be fixed and collected through the hospital. Room rates will bo nwderatc. Group nursing will obviate the expense of a private mirsc. The patient will pay his way and get the best a hospital and medican can offer. An endowment of $3,()()(),0()0 will make this idealistic insti tution possible, for the patient will pay less than cost. Hos pitals such as this within the reach of every American would cut deeply into the doatlr, rate and the economic losses suffered through the illness of the great producing middle class. Millions are putting off operations or medical treat ment today because they cannot afford it and will not accept charity. , (OMI'AUATIYK PRICK ADVERTISING As a means of eliminating exaggerated or misleading ad vertising, the city of Portland lias passed an ordinance spon sored by the Hotter Business lUireau to regulate use of comparative prices. "Dross Sale ?.r5 Values on Sale at $22.50" is a type of copy that will not be permissable unless the advertiser can prove that his iiKM-ehnndi.se offered at ?22..r)0 is selling in other Portland stoics at $r,r). "Occasion al Chairs Regularly $20 On Sale at $12.50" is a suitable type of copy only in case the merchandise had been marked and offered at $20 immediately prior to the sale and is to return to that price at the end of the sale. Various other regulations are made, all designed to avoid the intentional or unintentional misleading of the buying public. The ordin ance sets a standard by law that has long been observed by reputable firms in their advertising. In most retail advertis ing the use of the word "value" has been questionable most often. The fact that a piece of merchandise is offered for sale at ?5 is rather conclusively proof that its value is $5, not some higher figure. "Ten dollar hats for jjt.y usually means that the hats offered wore I'm morly priced at if 10 and that interpretation is usually put on such copy by the leading public. 1'nder Portland rules, however, advertisers must be more specific, must be able to back up their adver tising statements with proof. Ami that is a good regulation. Business is transacted more and more on confidence. A J'omplete understanding between buyei and seller and a mutual advantage is necessary for continued retail success. In La Grande wo are fortunate in having a large majority of business firms who hold to that jxiliry in both advertising anil store management. The few violations of these truth rules in advertising are not serious, not intentional, and not often misinterpreted by the buying public. child actively busy.

HOW TO "REDUCE" REDUCING DIETS The AonrtitH Will Demand j Less Food If Sugar Is ' Part of the Diet HERE you will find cfclisntful homines and corrfort 600 outside rooms tach with tub and shower bath' servidor, radio, and many other conveniences that will make your stay enjoyable and Ions to be remembered. MIVAU GAIAGE IN HOTU IUHDIMO L. HUCKINS. Wn.!nj Oirtclor Too iiiaiiy reducing diets re lackiiiR in satrsfyinfr qualities. Ac cordinc to a nationally known food scientist, every reducing diet outfit to contain some sugar for Hie "well filled" feeling it produces. Such a use of sugar in the diet means that one can eat the mini mum of essential foods and not go away from the table hungry. As far as sugar being fattening, medi cal science points out that fusar has no more fattening value than other carbohydrates nnd far less than fats. Tho stout people of the world are, by no means, always big sugar eaters. It is the oinoinif ' food in general that produces fat not sugar alone. An example of a good "reducing" meal that will satisfy tho nppclite is a generous green salad and sweet dessert. A consideration of this menu will be of value in plan ning other meals. The truth of the statement, "A bit of sweet makes tho meal complete," will be appar ent very quickly. Sugar as a flavor, for vegetables, stewed and fresh fruits, also in creases their satisfying qualities and makes tho meal enjoyable. There is no need to be unhappy when reducing. Eat less food and enjoy it more. Tha.Sugar Institute.
