When to Go Home. How Diptheria is Contracted.
From the BIuKtoii, Ind., Banner:
"When tired out, go home. When
you waul consolution, go home.
When you want fun, go home.
When you want to show others
that you have reformed, go home
and let your family get aquaiuted
with the fact. When you want to
show your self at your best go home
aud do the act there. When
you feel like being extra liberal go
home aud practice on your wife and
children first. Wheu you want to
shine with extra brilliancy go home
and light up the whole household."
To which we would add, when you
have a bad cold go home and take

quickly cures the cold and lessens
the danger of diptheria or any other
germ disease being contracted. For

Two of our old Hood River
friends, Mr, and Mrs. A. C. Statcu,
came over yesterday and took lunch
with us. We would be glad to
keep them here, but they arc
married to Hood River and it
would take a great deal of sparking
on the part of St. Johns to alienate
their affections and instigate a
divorce suit. Besides, Albert is
mauager of the big Farmers irri
gatiou ditch on the west side, aud
has not time to move. We hope
they will come next summer, when
the weather is nice and go fishing
with us. We will then give them
the time of their lives.
