I wonder can the trade on tea aud coffee be faUing off. Maybe we ought, to push the profitable lines more providing there are any prof itable lines. Perhaps it's costing me more to do business on account, of the war 'or tariff. "I tell you it's no cinch to guess the right answer in the grocery busi ness.

II The Telephone Call "When Mr. Bates got down to the store next morning, his stern re solve to put a little ginger into his bookkeeper was defeated by the fact that the latter was reported sick in bed. However, bills were coming Irk due and the bank hadn't been any too willing on the last loan, so some thing had to be done. He recalled a recent visit of a salesman who had entertained the preposterous idea of selling him a "Say, there may be something in this Adding Machine idea after all.

"Say, Bill, you got to put more thought on our fresh fruit trade we lost exactly $21. on fruit last month. And see if you can't dope up some way to get more trade on specialty crackers that's one of our most profitable lines. That's all now. Tell Pete I want to see hiin." "Pete you are slowing up.

There is something appropriate in ''reels" n the bar-room classic, but aside from that Charlie says he is go ing to have a good show that will be "better than a hundred temperance lectures." That is quite possible some temperance lectures drive folks to drink. Charlie's one regret is that Carrie Nation, who no longer inhabits this mundane sphere, will not be with the show. "Ten Nights" .was invented long before Carrie became famed, but the show made its biggest success when Carrie "walked on" in it, and when she chaperoned her niece, who was an actress; and who used to eat brandy drops provided by the report ers off stage, while an exactly sim ilar box, containing chocolate creams, was given to Carrie. Without Carrie, however, the show will be worth while. It portrays many things, including the "snakes" that are supposed to lie hidden in the bottom of the cup. The old show never offered the snakes but the movies are better than old style drama. Make a- date with yourself for Friday, and see "Ten Nights," which ought to be seen by everybody once. In Many Caes It Is an Important Agent In the Production of Diabetes, Gout, Goiter, Chronio Heart Disease and Other Physical Troubles. With the possible exception of those lu the period of happy childhood, every one Is nt Wines a victim of worry. Iu fact, the average Individual thinks of and accepts worry much as he thinks of and accepts disagreeable weather conditions as one of the bitter things of life which must be taken with the sweet In other words, he regards It as a fact, but does not attempt . to analyze it The wisest thinkers of all times have recognized the condition, and many well known writers have expressed their views of its psychology. What has not been sufficiently recognized, however, until very recently, is the Importance of worry, not merely in itself, as implying the absence of hap piness, but as the cause of Ills fur greater than Itself, the cause predis posing to secondary manifestations which would otherwise have been es caped altogether. Having fully comprehended this fact, the next logical step in scientific pro gression is to determine the exact mech anism by which these disturbances are brought about. Through the con joined efforts of psychologists and physiologists we are Just beginning to reach the true physical basis of this important subject The keynote of worry is beyond doubt a disturbance of the mind, says Dr. Erie D. Forrest in the Medical Kecord It may he defined as the restless con sclousness of all incumbrances which we accept under protest To elaborate this definition, it is the mind's unrest about anything which concerns us, whether it relates to our future, our dear ones, a cause we have espoused, our happiness, our salvation, our nienns of support, our position in life, our health, our fate or our success in general. It does not consist solely In our interest in all these things; it 19 rather a disquietude arising' from a feeling of helplessness before the vari ous chances and clnlins of life. The popular opinion seems to bo that the mental condition is one of depres sion, possibly becuuse the physical manifestations are chiefly depressive la nature. The fact cannot bo too strongly emphasized, however, that the primary mentnl condition is one of overactivity and, moreover, overactiv ity along lines of fixed ideas. Without taking up individually the phases of worry brought about by the various speclllc causes the physical manifestations of worry in general may be said to be depression of respi ration, sighing, disturbances in rate and force of heart boat, vasomotor changes, disturbances in secretion, pal lor, cold extremities, relaxation and decreased motility of the alimentary tract, dilatation of the pupil, loss of weight, Insoiuuiu and general physical exhaustion. These disturbances may vary in their prominence and may appear as groups of symptoms characterizing well known diseases. Thus worry is sometimes an important ngent in the production of dlnbetes, gout, exophthalmic goiter and chronic heart disease. Inasmuch as worry is primarily a disease of the mind,' and since every portion of the body is intimately con nected with every other part by a net work of nervous tissue of great com plexity, we naturally seek for the causes of these manifestations, first of nil, in the nervous system. In every Individual at a given time there is a limited nmouut of potential energy Btored up in the cells of the brain. This function seems to rest in the chromatin granules of the nerve cells, and it has been shown repeal edly that a liberation of nervous en ergy, whether in response to a psychic or sensory stimulus, rosulls in a physi ological degeneration of the chromatin granules, and consequently of the cells themselves. Obviously a prolonged dis charge of nervous energy diminishes by so much the amount left in the brain cells. Furthermore, stimuli of sufficient number, Intensity or dura tion may cause exhaustion and death. ficers and the sheriff "have made several creditable catches of criminals.'' Let's hear about them. Let the Enterprise publish a list of these creditable catches." Let them name one, single, bona fide "pinch" that the sheriff has made that has been prov ed to be connected with any of the robberies that have made Clackamas county a criminal joke since the first of the year. Its a fine chance for the Enter prise now watch it crawfish. Bees Take Dislike to Sandy Man, and Show it Pointedly D. L. Erdman, a farmer of the Sandy district, and a fancier of honey-makers, had a perfectly good hot time last week when he endeavor ed to teach some of his winged pets that he knew more about their busi ness than they did. The bees had left the hive provided for them, and swarmed elsewhere. Mr. Erdman went out and reason ed with them, and this failing to have the desired effect he tried to lead the honey-makers in the direction which he had planned out for them. At this the bees became quite active and some time afterwards friends found Mr. Erdman lying unconscious on the ground. He was carried to the house, and it took a local doctor over an hour before he was able to evive the bee faddist. The bees, after settling accounts with their fancier, went their own sweet way, and located a place for their hive which is entirely satisfac tory to them. Mr. krdman says they may stay there. Front Page Excitement in the Ore gonian Seems a little Forced Saturday of last week the Oregon- ian printed as alleged news on its front page the place where impor tant revelations are supposed to be made when they don't conflict with its policy the statement that some California chef declared. that women are heartier eaters than men, and al so the additional statement that in sane patients in a California asylum enjoyed baseball. Any mere man who has taken his best girl out to supper after the show knows that women have mar vellous appetites; and as for the in sane enjoying baseball California and the Oregonian are way behind the times. At the Western Washington Hospital for the Insane, at Steila coom, baseball has been a fixture for five years, and the "nut" team plays with regular nines in the neighbor hood and usually beats them, while the "nut" fans go wild in true base ball style, The trouble with the Oregonian is that it loves its California corres pondent too well, and will print any sort of bunk from the land oi pop pies, tourists and tuberculosis. Schools to Exhibit County Superintendent Calavan is planning a series of exhibits of school work at the county fair at Canby this September. Prizes will be offered for displays of domestic science and ; art work, manual training work, poultry, dairy and agricultural work and displays. Mr. Calavan will have ! charge of the exhibits and expects a better display than was obtained from the county schools last year. MEETING OF BOYS' CLUB HELD Courier and Western Stock Journal, $1,50 year At the meetng of the Boys' Club of Oregon City last Tuesday evening it was decided to continue the can vass for members. A considerable number was already secured, but it was thought best to have a large meeting next Friday evening, July 2, at the Congregational church, of all who have enrolled. At this time of ficers will be chosen. There are to be two departments, one for boys 12 to 15 years of age inclusive, and the other 16 years and upward.

It is not necessary to pay $5.00 to join as has been generally thought Origin of ths Sun Flag. The origin of the emblem of the sun as the Japanese national symbol dates back to time immemorial. The firat record of its use ou land is that of a famous war lord of the eleventh century; ngaln in the fifteenth century the emblem was adopted Jjjt. the feudul lords and warriors. The connection of the emblem with the navy is also deep rooted, having hod local usage as eurly as 71 A. D., and a more extended field In 110 A. D.

NEWS THAT ISN'T OREGON GETS GOLD MEDAL International Jury Awards Stale the State Prize at Frisco Fair In competition with exhibits of similar products from other states and a number of foreign countries, Oregon received the gold medal for eeneral excellence of its horticultur al display at the Panama-Pacific Ex position at San Francisco a few days ago. This award was maae Bincuy on merit The jury was composed of 12 men, 7 from the East, two from Japan, two from California and one from Holland. They made a care ful detailed inspection of every ex hibit in the hall and without hesita tion awarded the medal to Oregon. The display was installed by C N. Ravlin, head of the Oregon Horti cultural Society and himself a suc cessful rancher of the Hood River Valley. In arranging the booth, he made no attempt at ornamentation concentrating his efforts on so ar ranging the almost faultless collec tions of fruits, vegetables' and other products that the attention of the visitor would be instantly centered on the display and not on its surround ings. Oregon has a right to feel mighty proud of this victory. Prominent People Coming List of Chautauqua Talent Shows Guarantee of Fine Program. Cost Is Nominal. Look over the following list of those who will appear here under auspices of the summer Chautauqua and see if there Is a single one whom you would not be much interested in hearing if your time will permit you to attend each session. In the way of music there are Cirlcll- lo and his great Italian band. This organization is playing a return en gagement, as it covered the western Chautauqua s last season, and the de mand for its return 'was so univer sal that the bureau engaged it to come back in 1915 with a larger band, a larger number of soloists, and inci dentally Cirlcillo gets , considerably more money, it is said. There are the Saxony Opera Singers, who present In costume grand and light opera sung In English. The Schu ninnn Quintet, playing strings, is the highest priced organization of its class in the United States, nnd the "II Tro vatore" Grand Opera Singers nre anoth er stellar attraction.

OFFICE 718 MAIN ST., Oregon City STIR 'EM UP 'rivalc Detective "Wants In" on Ar denwald Case Again George Thatcher, a private detec tive who hangs out in Portlund, has asked peace officers to go out and grab Edward Ramsey, whom George says can be cinched for the Arden wald murders if George is allowed to give "evidence" which he hus secur ed that would be of inestimable value to the state. It is remarkable how rapidly news travels. The county court recently and quietly slipped this Levings party another private detective the $2, 000 that a Washington county award ed him for his "work" on the Arden wald cuse. Probably having heard of that, Thatcher sees a chance to get in and rake out some coin, too or maybe it is safe betting that the county's evidence is better than George Thatcher's. DROP IN AGAIN Tuesday afternoon a stranger who had been in the city drove out of town bv way of the Seventh street hill. When he negotiated part of the distance he suddenly pitched from his wagon to the street. Before the horse could stop, the wheels passed over the man's prostrate form. Spec tators stood horror-stricken, but the stranger picked himself up, climbed back to the seat of his vehicle, and slanoed the reins. As he drove away he turned around and said: "Thank you, gentle men, for your trouble.' It is presumed that he was thank ing the council for the excellent re pair in which they keep the pavement of the Seventh street hill. T TSHE GOULD NOT LIVE Restored to Health by Lydia E.
