" When I was 16 years old I got married and at 18 years I gave birth to twins and it left me with very poor health. I could not walk across the floor without having to sit down to rest and it was hard for me to keep about and do my work. I went to a doctor and lie told me I had a displacement and ulcers, and would have to have an operation. This frightened me so much that I did not know-what to do. Having heard of Lydia E.

WAR STOPS SALMON INVESTORS WILL LOSE Local Shippers Authorize Sale of j Receiver for Defunct Company Gets Fish at New .York Many Claims for Money Hopes of a profitable business were blasted for Lawrence Rucanich and Harry Greaves of Oregon City on Monday when they were notified by wire that the salmon they recently consigned to Rotterdam could go no farther than New York because of the war and that they were being held there. The fish, heavily packed in ice and sawdust, were shipped from this city more than a 'week ago and wer.e to have been taken to Rotterdam aboard a carrier of the American-Holland line sailing from " New York. That company received the shipment in good order and on Monday wired to the local Southern Pacific agent tell ing him that orders from the belliger ent powers forbade the delivery of the salmon at Rotterdam or any other port. Mr. Ruconich immediately instruct ed the railroad agent to wire the ship ping company to sell the fish at New York for whatever price he - could get. The fish were to be a sample to a Rotterdam merchant, and if they were satisfactory when received it had been hoped that a regular trade could have been developed between Oregon City and the European mar ket. Mr. Ruconich and Mr. Greaves are out the cost of the fish and approximately $50 which it cost them for prepaid freight charges. The sum returned from the sale of the fish will probably be much less than the charges that were paid for pack ing them for their long journey and voyage. There were three fish in the shipment and all were frozen in solid cakes of ice, besides being packed heavily with sawdust and strongly boxed. The Courier $1.00 per year. Thirty-thousand dollars is the value of claims sent to T. P. Randall, re ceiver for the defunct Northwestehn Association of Oregon City, by those who contracted with Jesse Hazell, president of the company, for the purchase of lands in this county. Mr. Randall's time has been well taken up in writing to these inno cent purchasers that they need have very little hope of ever recovering even a part of the money they spent in Hazell's scheme. Many of the purchasers have ceased effort to re cover on their losses, but others are still expressing anxious tones in their letters to Mr. Randall. The affairs bf the Northwestern as sociation are revealed in the books of the Hazell company, which Mr. Randall has in charge.' There may be some small amount of money avail able, but in case there is it will not be sufficient to cover even a small fraction of the claims against the company. Jesse Hazell is spending a year in the Multnomah county jail on a charge of using the mails to defraud.

Children under three years of age do not chew their food thoroughly; they bolt It For this reason they should not have bananas to eat uncooked. Bananas are nutritious, but they are an indigestible food unless they are well masticated. They are more easily digested when cooked thun when eateu raw. The most digestible form of cooked banana Is the baked one. This Is pre pared first by washing the fruit, then cutting a small piece from each end of the bananas ins when preparing a sweet potato for baking). Place the bananas to be baked on a tin pie plate or similar dish in a hot oven. When they feel tender after pricking with a fork they are well baked. Dark brown or brown stained bananas (not the bright yellow ones) are best for eating, either raw or baked. After the fruit Is baked It is placed on a platter and served ns a meat It Is not, however, turned out of the skin. When ready to cut it split the skin and banana lengthwise of the fruit; season it with salt, pepper and n little butter. In warm" weather baked bananas may be used to take the place of meat at a meal Philadelphia Record. DYE SHORTAGE FELT "Pins and Needles." After being for n long time In a con ctrnhipil Mftiiinlo n npcnliitr numbness and pricking are often felt in the arm, leg or foot This is caused uy some interruption to the circulation and can usually be removed by rubbing or ex ercise. The reason of the sensation, which is decidedly uncomfortable while It lasts, is that pressure for n certain length of time deadens the sensibility of a nerve. When this pressure Is sud denly removed, as straigbteiiing out the leg after sitting with it doubled underneath the body, sensibility grad ually returns to the nerve, aud as each nerve liber composing the trunk re gains Its normal condition of sensibil ity a pricking sensation Is felt and these successive prickings from the successive nwakeulngs of the numer ous fibers have not inaptly been called "pins and needles." Why Wet Land Is Cold. C. G. Hopkins, soil expert, says that five times as much heat is required to evaporate water from the surface of a soil ns would be needed to raise the temperature of the same amount of water from the freezing to the boiling point, says Farm and Fireside. This explains why wet aud poorly drained soils are cold. ... Tile drainage removea the excess of water. Then the heat of the sun is able to make some headway In warm ing the soil. But If the soil is con tinually saturated with water the con stant evaporation keeps the tempera ture down in spite of the sun's warmth. When Your Eyes "Snap." When you read lu books and things that So-and-so's eyes "snapped" with excitement or anger you are not to suppose that his (or ber) orbs made a snapping sound as tbey glanced about the room.

Local Paper-Manufacturers are Mak ing Darker Papers The fact that the paper upon which the news of the day is printed is less white than usual is because the paper manufacturers of the country are pre paring judiciously for a shortage in analine dyes, and are therefore using only half the ordinary amount in bleaching news print. This probable shortage was pre dicted this week by the Hawley Pulp & Paper company, which has found, as a result of careful experiments, that the American analine dye is in ferior to the German product and that several hundred times more must be used to get the same effect as with the German product. Supply of this dye from Germany has been impossible since the war started and the condition has been met by the manufacture of the dye in this country. Because of the inferior ity of the home product the Inter national Paper company has prepared a schedule which has for its object the gradual reduction of the use of ana line dye until it is left out altogether in the manufacture of news print. Thus the reading public is to become used to the darker paper by slqw de grees and by the time the dye has been discarded altogether the absence will not be so noticeable. The local paper mills, which supply most of the plants in the country, are to conform to the Intrnational company's sched ule and are already gradually reduc ing the amount of analine used in the manufacture of their papers. What dye is left on the market, bringing a very high price, is being used in the manufacture of the highest grades of paper, and is far too expen sive for use in the manufacture of news print. In spite of the absence of analine dyes the price of paper is constantly going skyward. The higher grades of paper especially stationery, are manufact ured from rags, many of which were imported to the United States from Europe.'. In this country so little attention ha3 been paid to the conservation of rags that this supply is short and manu factures are having an interesting time finding enough materials to. supply the demands for their products. NET MEN ARE AT WORK. Sunday is Observed by Hundreds of Anxious Anglers Because of the opening of the net fishing season on the following day, Sunday was a gala day for rod and line fishermen on the river close to Oregon City. The stream was dot ted thickly with the boats of anglers and there were very few of the horde who were disappointed through the day's outing. From all parts of the valley, es pecially from Portland, large num bers of anglers appeared here to cast their spoons and spinners into the water in a last hope of landing the season's prize. So many fishermen caught the limit that the day has been declared one of the best for many seasons. Conditions were ideal for sportsmen and their success was remarkable. On Monday at noon the net fisher men- took control of the stream be low the bridge at this city, and from the first landed but small catches of salmon. Through an enactment at the last session of the legislature the line fishermen have control of that part of the stream between the falls and the bridge and they are making good use of that space reserved to. them for their sport. Monday evening the river below the bridge was a beautiful sight, dot ted with the dancing lights of launch es and row boats. Nearly two hun dred boats were 'out pn Monday evening. HAWLEY CONTRACT LET Paper Manufacturers Will Have Im portant Additions Made A contract for the erection of a generating plant and pulp mill was let this week by the Hawley Pulp & Paper company to Grace & Rasmus sen company, Portland contractors.
