We are pained to learn that Clye

engineer on a logging engine. His
friends hope that nothing will happen
to necessitate his staying in bed long
er than nooessary. The young man's
mother is with him, and under such
watchful care as only a mother can
give he will undoubtedly get well be
fore many weeks have passed.
A number of people of the Lodge

Mrs W. E. Beckuer and son Clarence.
Mrs. Wilcox's sister and family
from Rainier are visiting at the home
ot the former.
At last the Lodge is going to have
a poBtotlico. The governmontofiicialB
have been cognizant of the fact that
Jennings Lodge is a town aud not, as
heretofore thought by these gentle
men, a disease. We will all get off
our backs now aud stare the reality
square in the 'lace, for we had hoped
aud worked so long for an office that
the malady hud become a nightmare.
Miss MoOovern is still suffering
from a very acute attack of nervous
ness anil her many friends sincerely
hope for a speedy recovery.
Opportunity is like the milestones
along this rugged life. The older we
get the farther the stones bohui to be
apart, and incidentally fewer in num
her appears each golden opportunity.
Whether it is owing to unkind fate or
due to ourselves, the ones who make
tho best uses of these opportunities
are the ones who have the fewest iu
number, and the ones who make the
poorest use of them always have the
most chance. Now, it we could uti
lize some of the time that the old
father lias so genorouly alloted to
each mother's son of us, in trying to
graHp some of these chances instead of
devoting ourselves to help lift the
scales from the other fellow's eyes,
wo would get wiser aud there is a
bare possibility we might become
more prosperous. But it is not one
of the blessings of humanity to hold
up tne mirror to our own battle
sauarred visages, but always get be
hind tlifljapoi light of publio censor
ship. But to what ends will we not
go to g.-t a chance to help the rest of
tho "bunch" iu'pulling the Bcales
from the other follow '8 eyes and then
shove him unprotected iuto the lime
light of publioity. Discretion is the
bettor part of valor, and if this is so,
why not try to be a little valiaut
when it comes to showing the other
fellow what our interpretation of
a successful life is? An idle brain is
tho devil's workshop. Then to be
successful we must at least be liusy,
mentlly as well as pnysically. Thou
that does not mean we should let our
brain got rusty, but must do some
thing to keep the intellect thoroughly
alive. Wo oau't keep the iutollect
alive and our brains from becoming
the devil's workshop if we abuse it
by drugs or intoxicants. Why will
people do these things when these
same things are tho ones that kill us
morally, physically, and sometimes at
the psychological moment when ilfo
has become the essens of joy unmiti
gated with sorrow or defeat? If we
go through all of life without suffer
ing defeat in sinue of its variud
forms, wo, must of a surety lead a
charmed existene.. For we cauf be
blamed for falling down once in a
while, but wo don t need to lay there.
Time is the essence of most all thiug
and tho only way we can get oven a
gliinpso of that fickle dame Fortnre
is to keep ourselves clean, for if wo
are not cleangour minds as well as
our bodies are sure to got a bad case
of tho "body politic." Science teaches
us that the physical preys upon the
intellectal as well as tho moral aud
it's up to'us to put or keep our bodies
from tho pests of the air aud the
beasts of earth if we mean to become
even normally successful, and ; the
world, the times and tho people have
no place nor time for any others. Lot
us work for tho upbuilding of these
temples ot ours.

O. A. C. Notts
That utility measured bv the egg
aud meat'tiroductiou is the real stan
dard for the determination of the val
ue of ant n and not the shape end
color of f1.ath1.r9 is tiio proposition
unon which Professor J aim a Dryden
of the Oregon Agricultural College, in
a bulletin which has jost gone to
press, takes issue with the editors of
tho American Standard of Perfection
and breeders of fau y chickens.
"To encourage the poultry indus
try," says Professor Dryden, "hun
derds of poultry shows are held each
year and thousands of dollars are paid
on preimums and all the premiums
are awarded 00 tlie'hasis of the Amer
ican Standard of Perfection.
"The best poultry keeper iu the
country is the faruior and the far
mer's wife. I have been ashamed
many times injmy chicken career that
we who were 'educating the farmers'
were raising sickly, constitutionally
weak chickens, and then go to the
farm and Bee running around the
barnyard, without attention or care,
thrifty, robust, lively chickens. We
are slaves of the dogma of the feather
and the St indard md the farmer pro
duces the eggs. I believe that the
farm stock, and cross bred stock, or
shall I say the mongrel stock, have
better vitalities, are more fertile, are
less prayed upou by diseases and pro
duce more eggs, than the average flock
of pure breds.
"To discover the egg type we have
to use the trap nest or some other
means of keeping a record of eggs laid
by individual hens. The trap nest is
about the best thing we have discov
ered iu the poultry business. We
will mane slow improvement in breed,
ing without au egg record for each
hen in the flock. The objection to
the trap nest is that it requires too
much labor for the farmer. I believe
that the state or' experiment station
should come to the recsuo here by es
tablishing a breeding station whore
faruiers'Vould secure at nominal prices
oockerels of good laying pedigrte to
mate with their Hocks. It would not
take very long to furnish every farmer
with a male bird whose ancestry dur
ing two generations has a record of
100 eggs a year."
Von are not experimenting ou your
self when you take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy for a cold as that
preparation has won its great reputa
tion and extensive sale by its remark
able cures of colds, and can always
be depended upon. It is equally val
uable lor adults and children aud may
be givn to young children with im
plicit confidence as it contains no
harmful drug. Sold by all good
dealers.
Joke
Put away the pretty crutches,
And the jug of iodine;
Ditoh the first aid to the injured
And the compress for the spine.
House the ambulance aud stretches,
Spill the bag of water warmed
We've teen told the game of football
It a sport that's been reformed."

furnish positive proof that it has made many remarkable

illness should consider this.
As such evidence read these two unsolicited testimonial
letters. We guarantee they are genuine and honest state
ments of facts.
Cresson, Fa." Five years a pro I l.atl a had fall, an.l hurt
myself inwardly. I was under a doctor's care for nine weeks,
nnd when I .stopped I grew worse again. I sent for a nettle of
Lydia E. Pinkhuiw's VegetaMe Compound, took it as dl.eeted,
and now I am a stout, hearty woman." Mrs. 1311a F. Aikey,
Cresson, Fa.
TSaird, Wash. "A year ajro I was p'.ek villi I.idney and
bladder troubles and female weakness. The doctors gave me
up. All they could do was to j ust let nu jm as easily as possible.
1 was advised by friends to take Lydia F. Vinkhaiw's Vegetable
Compound and Flood Furifier. I air. completely cured of my
ills, and I am nearly sixty years old." Mrs. Sarah Leighton,
liaird, Wash.
Evidence like the above is abundant showing that the
derangements of the female organism which breed all kinds
of miserable feelings and which ordinary practice does not
cure, are the very disorders that give way to Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Women who are afflicted with similar troubles, after
reading two such letters as the above, should be encouraged
to try this wonderfully helpful remedy.
For 30 years Lvdia F. Pink ham's Vegetable
Compound has been the standard remedy for
female ills. No sick woman c'oes justice to
herself who will net try this famous medicine.
Made exclusively from roots and herbs, and
has thousands ot cures to its credit.

Lrdr to write her for advice. She lins
guided thousands to health free of charge.
