OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1915. 4 MA&6NIC TEMPLE BLDG. THE FASHIONS (Continued from Page 7) material was worn around the waist, ending in the back with a large up-and-down bow of the checked silk. My first illustration shows the trim tailored lines of an up-to-date shirt waist of sand-colored chiffon and a trim black skirt. Tho belt, which is noticeable for the placing of the pockets, is of pique and clasps in the front with peal button-clasps. The separate waist and skirt are holding a strong place in the ward robe of the woman of to-day. The waists are usually trim and tailored in their lines, and the skirt should be short and flaring around the lower edge, while the shoes of sand, gray, black or tan should lace up the side instead of the front. Large white linen or pique collars, with cuffs to match, are charming worn over the simple waist of gray or black, giving the effect of a Puri tan or Quaker costume. Gray taffeta is used for one dress, with a skirt tucked in large tucks in the back; while the front, which commences at the hips, is perfctly plain. The full waist is topped with o large unstarch ed collar, and the long-close-fitting sleeves has gauntlets to match the collar. Some waists are made with a Bquare or oval opening in front something like the shape of a man's shirt bosom, only not so deep. A tucked or pleated front of white or organdy, with a round collar fitting neatly over the back, is used for a chemisette in these waists. Children's clothes, from tho little tots to the juniors, show the simplest of lines. Linen is used again and again in blue, white, and the soft shades of rose and tan which are so smart. One dress which was worn by a tweve-year-old girl was of a soft shade of rose. A little long-sleeved bolero jacket was cut with square cor ners, each one embroidered with a simple design in the same color. A pleated skirt hung from a high waist line, while tho daintiest of batiste blouses merely peeped from under neath the tiny jacket. This same girl had removed a coat of Dutch blue chiffon broadcloth made with an Empire waist and pleated Bkirt. A wide braided belt was worn over the joining of waist and skirt, and was stitched at the top only, leaving a stand-away appear ance ot the lower edge. The hat worn with this coat was of sand colored and black straw trimmed with a single band of black grosgrain rib bon about an inch and a half in width, which ended in double loops in the black which hung to the shoulders. The party dresses for the little girls this age were made of sheer or gandy or batiste. Ono was made with the decided Empire waist and was charming, while the other was made with a waistline just below the normal. The skirt was made with double ruffles edged with lace, but tho whole effect from arm-pit to bottom of skirt was very straight and up and down, and the sleeves were thret-quarter length rather than short or very long. WOLF HOWLS (Continued from Pago 4) ant governor of British Columbiah as been empowered to declare a morator ium on land debts. This will quite effectually puncture tho land boom that has for the past several years been leading American farmers over the Canadian border, where they have found that things were not all "milk ana honey" as advertised. The aver age American can do as well under the stars and stripes as he can any where else1, and it is a poor sort of patriot who will quit his own coun try just because some other nation offers him land on terms that would be viewed with suspicion here. There never was a get-rich-quick scheme that was any good. Justice John Sievers, Gladstone's truthful benedict, and the popular dispenser of law in the county seat, wandered down Main street Saturday To Our Customers Owing to the passage of the Stamp Law we will discontinue giving Trading Stamps after May 15. To assist you in filling your hooks we will give DOUBLE Stamps in all departments Saturday ORE&ON CITY, OBC carrying a burlap sack that appeared to contain a salmon. The judge came up from the river front, and admitted that he "had a small one fifteen pounds or so." Truth forces the Courier to say that said sack con tained 15 pounds of assorted brass, lead and copper, which the honorable justice was planning to magically change into spoons and spinners. The ways of the press agent are peculiar. Last week Oregon was en tertained with column after column of sordid gush about a ballet dancer who ate bichloric tablets following the death of a married man with whom she had been gallivanting round the country with for a dozen years. If the people concerned had not been more or less noted the story would have been barred in all decent newspapers. As it was the Portland dailies tried to see which one could print the greatest amount of detail regarding this cerise incdent. The same thing happens every week in the demi monde, and isn't even given a brevity. The moral appears to be that nas tiness is comparative; and that the more prominent peolpe are the more leeway they are given in the matter of morals. Of course it ought to be the other way but standards of civt lization are as peculior as the press agent's idea of truth. Any prominent person can go wrong and get away with it. That is, any prominent person but a minister. The average pastor has to be more circumspect in his actions than a deb utante. And that reminds us: a Spokane paper has referred to Billy Sunday as "the Rev. B. S." That is the best thing we have heard about the evan gelist for a 'long, long time. EI) OLDS OFFERS A FEW REMARKS (Continued from First Page) but the people turned out en masse, and resented the action by refusing to donate further sums for Mr. Risley to expend. Now, taxpayers, isn't Mr .Risley adopting the tactics of the dog in the manger? Isn't he resorting to child play ? If you don't play my way you can't play tit all. A rule of equity says "He who conies into equity must come with clean hands." Is Mr. Ris ley doing that? We who know him, say no! E. D. OLDS. Club Picnic Enjoyed Members of the Swastika Athletic club, of the county seat, held a pic nic Monday evening at Cedar Island. Those who enjoyed the moonlight supper and the launch trip down were Mitchel Story, Edward Sheahan, Cnrnott Spencer, Burt Lageson, Neil Sullivan, Donald Silcox, Ward Ham mond, Bernice Johnson, Lucile Evans, Pansy Oswald, Alice Holman, Louise Sheahan and Katie Freeze. Miss Busch chaperoned the party. Passing It Along "If the state tax commission keeps on taxing things there will be noth ing free but salvation.'' La Grande Evening Observer. "Even salvation we fear, being bo yond tho reach of our La Grande bro ther." Weston Leader. To which the Courier would like to add that in some places salvation is charged for, too. For instance, there are Billy Sunday's collections before salvation is served up hot in slang. Express Agent Leaves J. P. Summerville, for the past year local agent of the Wells Fargo Express company, will leave shortly to take a position in the company's offices in Butte, Montana. Mr. Sum merville has been prominent in local Elk circles, and is one of tho most popular young men in town. His de parture will be regretted by a large circle of friends, even though the change is in the line of promotion for him. .Additional.. ...Locals,.. Mrs. R. M. C.

DUNN, County Treasurer. The Courier for butter wrappers. DRUGS AND POISONS. Popular Delusion of the Safety of the "Purely Vegetable." "Of all popular delusions as to drugs and chemical compounds," said a prom inent chemist, "perhaps the must harm ful is that concerning medicines that are 'purely vegetable.' There seems to be almost a universal Impression among even the educated clusses that such medicines as are composed en tirely of vegetable compounds are on that account harmless, while on the other hand any mineral compound Is of necessity poisonous. "Now, as a mutter of fact, not only has the question of whether u medi cine Is vegetable or mineral nut the slightest relation to Its poisonous or nonpolsonous qualities, but In practical medicine It would seem that most of the common polsous ure vegetable. Look at the poisons most commonly known and note their composition. Take strychnine, uconlte. opium, alco hol, digitalis, byosctne and coculue. Every single one of these Is 'purely vegetable,' yet most of the deaths by chronic poisoning come from one of these. The most powerful poison known, 'rlclne Robert.' one five-thousandth of a grain of which will kill a grown man, Is made entirely from the castor oil bean. "On the other band, many minerals, so far from being poisonous, are not only harmless, but soothing. Bismuth, a pure mineral. Is given In quite large quantities even to small babies for the purpose of allaying inflammation, while Iron Is one of the most common tonics. "Soda Is not only one of the most universal and harmless of minerals, but It is also largely used In our foods. Salt is a pure mineral, yet It is not only necessary to life, but one of the greatest cleansers and preservatives known. Without it bacon and ham would be impossible and the luscious dill pickle unknown. "Of course, there are minerals that are highly poisonous, such as mercury, arsenic and potassium tn certain com binations, but they are neither more deadly nor more numerous than the vegetable poisons. This also may be said in favor of the mineral poison. It 1b considered by many physicluns that Its action Is much more certain than its vegetable brother;. rather, vegetable poisons are much more uncertain Mn their action upon the human system. Hence death by overdose is more likely to occur from a vegetable than a min eral poison when taken medicinally. "Just how the public ever got the delusion that the 'purely vegetable' was a badge of barmlessness I do not know, but the fact remains that such Is the common belief." Washington Star. They Used Charles Lamb. Franking privileges In England were greatly abused In days gone by. The government employee's friends shared in his opportunities. In a letter writ ten by Wordsworth la 1815 the poet said: "By means of a friend In Lon don I can have my letters free. His name is Lamb, and If you will add an 'e' to his name be will not open the letters. Direct as below without any thing further, 'Mr. Lnmbe, India house, London.'" Coleridge, too, saw that a postage saved was a postage gained and made use of the Mr. Lamb of the India house. Charles Lamb. Art and Nature. Art is the revelation of man, and not merely that, but likewise the revela tion of nature, speaking through man. Art pre-exists In nature, and nature Is reproduced In art. As vapors from the ocean, floating landward and dissolved In rain, are carried back in rivers to the ocean so thoughts and the sem- blunoes of things that fall upon the soul of man In showers flow out again In living streams of art and lose them selves In the great ocean, which Is na ture. Art and nature are not, then, dis cordant, but ever harmoniously work ing In each other. Longfellow. A Roumanian Custom. A strange custom Is still observed in Roumania. When a servant has dis pleased his or her master the offender takes his boots In his bunds and places them before the bedroom door of his master. It Is a sign of great submis sion, and the boots are either kicked away as an Intimation that the fault will not be forgiven, or else the serv ant is told to place them on his feet, which shows that he is forgiven. Dress Well. It is. not enough that people shall be clad, they must be dressed. "Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy," wus the advice of Polonlus to his son, "rich, but not gaudy, for the apparel oft proclaims the man,'-' and the advice Is just as good today as it was 300 years ago. Some Difference. "What's become of that rascally young son of the Blowers?" "I understand he is to take a course of ethics In one of our modern ,peno logical Institutions." "There! And I heard he had been sent to Jall."-Baltlmore American. Connection Plain. Brown What a rig that woman has on! Jones (looking) By Jove, that re minds me I've got to get some castor oil for Brown Eh! I fall to see how that rig can remind you of castor oil. Jones The bud taste of it, my boy.

Grown Up on the right The FARMER CHARGES BIAS New Era Man Says County Seat is in Cahoots with Railroad "Yes, sir, you and your danged city are in cahoots with the .southern r&- cific railroad, that's what you are." So said a New Era farmer Wed nesday to Chief of Police Ed Shaw. And he made a pretty good argu ment, too. The farmer overhauled Chief Shaw on the street, and said he wanted some information. "That's one of the best things I give,'' said the Chief. "All right then, you give me some" said the farmer. "I live at New Era. I drink beer. My wife drinks beer. We give our hands beer when they have done a good day's work in the fields. And when we have friends come to eat with us Sunday we have beer on the table. Usually I go down to Portland about once a month and biy a barrel of bottled beer, see? I haul it out to my farm. To get home I have to pass through Oregon City. And now under your ding danged laws, if I haul beer through your city I'm likely to be arrested. It isn't fair. I see what you're try ing to do, you want me to ship it by the Southern Pacific out to New Era, you and your danged city are in ca- hoots with the Southern Pacific rail road, that's what you are." "Why don't you go to Barlow and get your beer from the saloon there," asked Chief Shaw. i "Why don't I? Well, I'll tell you why I don't,'' said the farmer. "If I go to Barlow, everybody knows what I went there for. But when 1 go to Portland nobody knows mj business. I've got a right to bu heer where I Dlease. and haul it d if ftrregt me ru make !. " , ' ' .,. .,,, Chief Shaw offered no further ad vice. Yet he admits it to be true that bad luck is apt to attend the New Era resident if he gets caught by Patrolman Woodward and Cooke hauling beer through the city streets at night. Firemen on Visit Members of the Oregon City fire department visited the St. Johns de partment Monday evening 01 mis week, making the trip by automo bile. Among those who went on the trip were Chief Frost, Harry Seiler, William Priebe, L. R. Noble, Joe Beauliau, Harry Bradley, Al Cox, Gerald Warner, Frank Schoenborn, F. McGauhey, Charles Nichels, J. W. Schwertzinger, J. R. Sheldon, Bob Austin, Frank Kobolink and H. Hen rickson. VETERAN PASSES AWAY John J. Bargfeld, of Logan, Answers Final Roll Call Wednesday morning "taps" sound ed for John J.
