It will doubtless surprise a good
many persons who have suffered more
or less Inconvenience from heat dur
ing the last few days to learn that
high temperature Is beneficial ratner
than harmful to human life. This Is
the averment lately made In a London
newspaper by an English physician,
Dr. H. H. Riddle, and It Is unques
tionably supported by a vast amount j
of careful statistics and an luipoaloj
array of scientific aithorltl-s.
There Is no foundation for the cur
rent opinion that the heart and the
lungs bear most of the stress of hot
weather. The assumption seems to
be based on a supposed analogy be
tween a human being and a dog,
which latter notoriously pants v.'lwn j
overheated. There Is no such anal
ogy, for the reason that buman be
ings rely chiefly on their perspiratory J
system to regulate the control of the
temperature of the body, while ih-
dog, not having perspiratory glan If
comparable to ours, has to make
greater use of bis lungs In prevent
Ing bis body temperature from belnfc
too much influenced by outside con
ditions. The truth is, as experiment
In India have shown, that the ordi
nary European's breath rate Is not
Increased but actually reduced about
one-fifth during bis first attempts to
accomodate himself to the beat of
that country. The same experiments
have shown that the heart's action
also Is not augmented even in torpi
cal temperatures. The liver any
spleen are the chief sufferers, but
even the congestion which may be
caused In these organs by high tem
peratures may be left out of account
by those persons who are careful
about what they cat and drink.
By those who argue against the
healthfulness of heat waves much
weight Is laid upon the loss of appe
tite and the Impairment of digestion.
These phenomena, according to Dr.
Riddle, are blessings In disguise. If
there is one thing that medical men
of all schools are agreed upon it Is
that we eat too much. If with the re
duced activity of our digestive sys
tems In high temperatures our appe
tites were augmented, trouble would
be sure to ensue; but nature meets
the situation not only with a decline
of appetite, but bIbo with a repug
nance for the more indigestible va
rieties of food. The mere fact that
extreme heat Impels us to eat less at
meals is a positive gain.
The most Important effect of heat
on the human body lies, of course, in
Its action upon the skin, the result
being that the excretions Zrora the
skin are increased in quantity to an
extent that sometimes reaches 24 per
cent above the average In cool weath
er. Metcbnlkoff, one of the greatest
biologists of our day, haa recently
pointed out that most of us die sim
ply because we cannot rapidly enough
iiet rid of the poisons that accumu
late in our bodies. According to his
theory the hope of attaining advanced
age lies chiefly In keeping our excre
tory systems In the best possible
working order. Among the systei.if
whose functions keep the body free
trom auto-intoxication the skin, it is
well known, plays a most conspicuous
part. In our latitudes during the
greater part of the year, unless a-man
belongs to the small minority who
get active exercise daily, his skin and
the glands within it He practically
dormant. Any part of the body, how
ever, not actually used tends to de
generate. It is easy, therefore, to see
that the Inhabitants of our northern
states would gradually lose the use of
one of the most efficient processess
for freeing our bodies from accumu
lated impurities if our skins never re
ceived any climatic stimulation. A
i-hort spell of tropical weather !:;
cites these glands and makes them
Hike up again their too little exercised
functions. The perspiration against
which most people rebel should be
looked upon as a sluicing out of nor-
'ads- of tiny excretory channels.
The truth Is that it Is not high
temperature, but the humidity wlitch
Bo.liotlmes accompanies it which d(f-
ti nets largely from the henlthful re
sults that otherwise would be experi
enced and which leads to the lassi
tude and nervous depression that peo
ple complain of. To guard best
against the effects of humidity, wool
en undergarments should be worn, be
cause, especially when they are of
tine texture and light of weight, they
ward off, by their poor conductivity
of heat, the greatest danger of hot
waves, namely, sudden variations of
temperature. Woolen underclothing
keeps the layer of air between itself
nnd the skin at an equable tempera
ture, which at the same time it draws
the excreted perspiration away from
the skin, thus removing a chief factor
In the causation of chills.
Very likely those persons who find
themselves uncomfortable in the mid
summer hects, to say nothing of those
who read of occasional deaths
nseribed to sunstroke, will think It
hard to accept Dr. Riddle's doctrine.
Mt it Is characteristic of most hu
man beings not to know what Is gool
for them.
Best the World Afford".
"It gives me unbounded pleasure
to recommend Bucklen's Arnica

best salve the world affords. It

or wound to which It Is npplleed.

THE JURY
After three hours of fruitless dis
cussion and argument the jury In the
matter of Eaton vs. Bothwell re
ported to Justice Cannon that they
were unable to reach a verdict, and
asked to be discuarged. A second
trial will be held. The Jury stood
four lor the plaintiff and two for the
defense.
Th) easy was tried yesterday after
noon In the office of Justice of the
Peace Cannon. For four hour the
witnesses, attorneys and juryraer
sweltered in the heat of a Bmall room '
while the case was being beard, only
to have the jury hopelessly disagree
after three further hour of debate
within the jury room.
The jury was composed of Elmer
A. Hicks, John T. Bads, W. F. Piatt,
W. H. Meeker, Thomas Taylor and
James Brandenburg.
The plaintiff alleged that the de
fendant, J. A. Bothwell, was debtor
to her in the sum of $100 due as
alary for services rendered as stenog
rapher In the offices of the Realty
Bond syndicate of Oregon. The de
fendant answered by saying that he
is not personally responsible for the
debt, as It was contracted for by the
company and not by himself per
sonally. Therefor suit eho tld have
heen brought against the company,
which, at the present time, is defunct
E. E. Kelly appeared as attorney
for the plaintiff, and the defendant
was represented by W. I. Vawter.
The plaintiff. Miss E. E. Eaton, is
said to have been employed to do the
work of the company as a stenog
rapher, and was advanced $S0 with
which to reach this city from Ne
braska. She came here and since her
arrival has been able to drw no
salary. It seems that Mr! BothweM
ha been In the habit of pay'ng the
expenses of the company, but after a
certain date refused to pay any mor.
of them. Miss Eaton's salary was one
of the bills that was not paid. Sh.
brought suit against Mr. Bothwell
personally for the amount.
Mr. Bothwell testified to the effect
that it was a company matter, and
not a personal one. Therefore, In or
der to get a Judgment for the amount
the young lady should have sued the
company.
The case was gone Into at great
lenght. The attorneys took a broad
view of the matter and nothing was
allowed to escape being placed under
the searchlight of Inquiry that was
pertinent to the case, a number of
questions being allowed by the at
torneys which might have been suc
cessfully objected to.
Considerable interest was displayed
in the case, and the court room was
as full as the quarters would allow
with spectators.
Another hearing will be held In the
near future, and It is hoped that the
jury In the second case will be able
to agree.
Help for Those Who Have Stomach

After doctoring for about twelve
years for a bad stomach trouble nd

HOP MEX IHSCOI HAGEI).
GRANTS PASS, Or., July IS. A
shipment was made today of 22S
bales of hops. There Is now left but
137 bales of the Rogue River Valley
hop crop of 1907. The sale made
this week was at 3 cents a pound,
and as it cost the growers 9 cents a
pound to produce the hops the loss is
heavy.
The hop crop of Rogue River Val
ley will be fully JiO per cent less than
that of two years ago. The cause
for this decrease Is that so many
yards have been dug up and other
yards are not being cultivated this
season. Those that are being cared
for are In fine condition, and the
yield will be large and the quality
first class.
While hops produce well In Rogue
River Valley, yet for the past ten
years the hop-raisers, by reason of
low prices, have made far less money
than have the alfalfa and fruit grow
ers. So completely discouraged are
the hop growers that It Is likely that
within two years the last yard In this
valley will be plowed up and the land
put to orchard or grass.
