PERUNA EXPELS CATARRH
It does more it builds up the weakened system, regulates the diges
tion, removes the inflammation, overcomes the poisons of catarrh, and in
vigorates all over. Forty-four years of success proves its great value, of
which thousands gladly testify.
Accept the verdict of two generations yourself. Don't be swayed by
prejudice, when your health is at stake. Take Peruna and get well.

The familiar, age-old saying1 tells
us that there is a time for everything,
and just now there is no doubt that
the time has come to shoulder the hoe
and cultivate the soil. Women, as
well as men, are joining the great
army of soldiers of the soil for which
the country calls, for this is one of
the ways in which we are urged to
"do our bit" in giving helpful service.
Women who are seriously taking
to farming and gardening have had to
decide on suitable clothes to work in.
They have adopted practical overalls
and simple uniforms consisting of a
shdrt skirt and a plain, practical
waist.
When we talk of overalls, however,
it does not mean that we must give
up all those fascinating summer
clothes we have been planning to
-wear just as soon as the weather
would be warm enough to allow us to
indulge in them. For, of course,
there will still be times to dance, and
then we shall wear those ravishing
have been found much more satisfac
tory than the handicapping skirt,
which is often the cause of accidents.
Women in the home are also tak
ing to overalls for performing the
rough duties about the house. When
used for this purpose, they are usual
ly made up in the lighter materials,
such as percale, chambray and ging
ham.
While women are cultivating the
soil, they surely do not want to be
cultivating freckles as well, so the
gardening outfit is not really com
plete without a sun-hat or a sunbon
net to protect the head. An excellent
type of sun-hat with a brim which
may be rolled up or down is shown
with the overalls illustrated. This is
just as essential to the gardener as
the hoe, rake or spade, not to mention
the important overalls. The over
alls and hat are usually made of the
same material, and one of the most
practical materials to use is khaki or
heavy khaki-colored materials. This
color is the best to use for the obvious
reason that it does not show the dirt
as much as any other. Women's
overalls are also made up in blue
jean, that practical fabric -which has
always been used for men's overalls.
Another very practical costume in
use now for outdoor work consists of
a tailored shirtwaist and a short
khaki skirt with bloomers and detach
able leggings. The illustration above
shows this costume. The waists are
made of heavy linen, percale, madras,
poplin and all practical shirting ma
terials. The skirts are provided with
large pockets, not merely a fashion
feature, but decidedly utilitarian.
CANBY DEFEATS GLADSTONE
IN $6,000,000 BOND DEBATE
By holding debates in the grammar
schools of the county, the "Twelve
Disciples of Road Efficiency" of the
Oregon City Commercial club hope to
create added interest in the $6,000
000 road bond issue which they wish
to see carry at the election June 4.
the first of the debates was held be
tween the Canby and Gladstone
schools. The winner will be adjudged
cnampion ot the county. Teams tak
ing the negative -will travel and the
affirmative remain at home. Judges
will he furnished by the "Twelve Di
sciples," who will also speak on be
half of good roads following the de
Dates.
With the negative side of "Resolv
ed, That Every County Should Have
Une or More Paving Plants." the Can-

stone team in the Gladstone school
house Monday night. Three girls
represented Canby and one eirl and
two boys spoke for Gladstone. Dr,
L. A. Morns, B. T. McBain and
John Risley, members of the "Twelve
Disciples," were the iude-es. H. C
Starkweather spoke for the $6,000.-

HOWARD PRESENTS DIPLOMAS
frocks of net and organdy, chiffon and
tulle, and those other airy nothings
which are so necessary to the happi
ness of women. Then, too, there will
come the times to play, when we shall
revel in those wonderfully attractive
sports clothes with gay striped and
plaid skirts and the smart belted
middy blouses.
But, to go back to the overalls.
Whether women are really going to
devote a great deal of time to farming
in earnest, or whether thev are sim
ply going to cultivate the small plot
in the backyard to raise the vege
tables for the family supply, an over
all suit is the thing to get.
The sketch shows a suit of very
practical overalls. This is the kind
that is worn with any separate blouse,
the top of the overalls being made in
jumper effect." The bloomers are
roomy and comfortable. They are
gathered at the lower edge and se
curely tucked under the tops of the
high lace shoes, which are the cor
rect shoes to wear for gardening. No
dirt or twigs will get in and make the
feet uncomfortable when the bloom-
Produce Infertile Eggs
Farmers lose millions of dollars an
nually from bad methods of produc
ing and handling eggs. One-third of
this loss is preventable, because it is
due to the partial hatching of fertile
eggs which have been allowed to be
come warm enough to begin to incu
bate. The rooster makes the egg fertile.
The fertile egg makes the blood ring.
You can save money now lost from
blood rings by keeping the male bird
from your flock after the hatching
season is over.
The rooster does not help the hens
to lay. He merely fertilizes the germ
of the egg. The fertile germ in hot
weather quickly becomes a blood ring,
which spoils the egg for food and
market. Summer heat haa the same
effect on fertile eggs as the hen or
incubator.
After the hutching season cook,
sell or pen your rooster. Your hens
not running with a male bird will
produce infertile eggs quality eggs
that keep best and market best.
Heat is the great enemy of eggs,
both fertile and infertile. Farmers
are urged to follow these simple
rules, which cost nothing but time and
thought and will add dollars to the
poultry yard returns: 1. Keep the
nests clean; provide one nest for ev
ery lour nens. z. uather the eggs
twice daily. 3, Keep the eggs in a
cool, dry room or cellar. Market the
eggs at least twice a week. 5. Sell,
kill, or confine all male birds as soon
as the hatching season is over.

ATTEND RED CROSS MEETING
MoCAtl
ers are arranged in this way with
the shoes laced up over them.
Some overalls are made all in one
with waist and sleeves, sewed in,
forming a complete costume, which
eliminates the necessity of wearing a
waist underneath. This style is pre
ferred by some women.
The overalls illustrated have been
adopted by the National American
Woman Suffrage association, whose
members use them in the agricultural
department.
There is a growing demand for
overalls for women since the agricul
tural field has been opened up to them
as.it never has been before; but not
alone for this purpose are the over
alls used. In many factories skirts
have been discarded and the women
workers have donned overalls, as they
S. P. Boosts Liberty Loan
The machinery of the Southern Pa
cific's great system has taken up the
campaign to increase the sale of Lib
erty Bonds. "Have you bought your
liberty .Bond .'" is the slogan which
the Southern Pacific has adopted as
its particular own. Every advertise
ment carried by the company in news
papers throughout the Pacific coast
carries the slogan. Every one of the
.ib.uuu pieces of mail matter sent out
daily from the general offices of the
Southern Pacific company in San
Francisco caries this slogan affixed bv
a rubber, stamp; all dining car menus
ask the question of thousands of pat
rons, boon, all station waiting rooms
and ferryboats will display attractive
Liberty Bond posters. The Southern
Pacific company semi-monthly Bulle
tin, which reaches 45,000 employees,
cans attention to the Libertv Bonds.
In this way it is hoped to have the

CHINESE WANTED RECORD
Daniel Sied, Jr., Nnively Asks Motor
cycle Officer if He Knows Time

died in Portland some years ago, was
arrested for speeding by Motorcycle
Officer Meades yesterday and put up
$25 bail for his appearance in court
Sied said he was trying to make a

A Line of Czars, Mad, Bad, Liberal or
Despotic but All Strong and Daring,
That Died Whan Nicholas II., Weak
and Timid, Was Flung Aside.
wuen the house of Houinnoff fell
with the abdication of Nicholas II.,
the czar of Kussia, there came to an
end oue of the most extraordinary dy
nasties in the lilNluij- of the world, a
dynasty that took u stretch of tundra
and steppe and turned It Into an em
pire Dung across two continents and
occupying one-sixth of the land space
of the world. It was the hereditary
Hue that produced Teter the Great and
the remarkable Catherine and many
other virile and vigorous characters.
cruel, yet efficient; wanton, yet success
ful.
Probably no dynasty in Europe nro-
duced so many strong figures as the
bouse of Romanoff. Yet when It fell
It was not due so much to the wrath'
of downtrodden, betrayed people as to
tue inherent weakness and shrinking
meekness of the czar.
Imagine Peter or Ivan the Terrible
or even Alexander of recent memory
speaking as Nicholas did when inform
ed that an outbreak bad oeeiirrpd in
Petrograd:
"Let it be so. Thank God. I will
abdicate if thnt is what the people
want. I will go to Livadla (the im
perial estate in Crimea), to my gardens,
if the people want I am so fond of
flowers.''
While the first Romanoff to rule over
Russia was not crowned until 1G13, the
family had become one of influence in
Muscovy in the thirteenth century. At
that time Ivan Dlvliiovltch held an im
portant post at the court of the grand
duke of Moscow. A daughter of Ro
man, sixth in desceut from Ivan, mar
ried Ivan the Terrible, whose chief
amusement was to watch people dying
between courses at his banquets. Ro
man s successors called themselves
Romanoffs.
The old Tartar dynasty in Russia
came to an end in 1508. During the
next few years half a dozen pretenders
ravaged the couutry. The Swedes cut
In on the north and the Poles on the
west. Then the common folk and
gentry of Russia met in a convention
at Moscow and elected Michael Ro
manoff czar of the Russlns. It is a
peculiar coincidence thnt an assembly
of the people chose the first of the
Romanoffs and deposed the last of
them.
There followed a line of mad czars,
bad czars, liberal czars, reactionary
czars, Peters, Catherines, Elizabeths
and Alexanders, all men and womeu of
virility and strength of mind regard
less of their other fallings. They ruled
by force of personal strength.
This Is the descent of the recently
deposed Czar Nicholas a Iamb foaled
In a nest of tigers and lionesses. Count
Paul Vasslll, who spent twqscore years
at the court of Petrograd aud who had
an intimate view of three czars, in his
personal memoirs, composed shortly
beforo his death a few years ago, had
this to say of Nicholas:
"Nicholas II. is one of those timid,
weak natures which nevertheless like
to nssert themselves at certain mo
ments in matters utterly without Im
portance, but which to their eyes ap-
penr to be vital ones. His mind Is as
small as his person. He sees the big
gest events go by without being touch
ed or being even aware of their great
or tragic sides.
"He likes to be feared, but be can
not inspire respect, much less. awe. He
feels this, and, not knowing how to
fight against this laclt of consideration
of his person, he becomes savage in his
wrath aud, though in appearance a
quiet, inoffensive little man, is capable
of the utmost cruelty and hardness.
"W hen the news was brought to him
of the terrible disaster at Tsushima,
which cost Russia the greater part of
her navy, the cznr was playing tennis
In the park of Tsniskoe Selo. He read
the telegram that sounded the death
knell of so many hopes and then quiet
ly resumed the game.
When he found himself confronted
with the revolution of 1905 It never
occurred to him that he might avert
It by putting his own person forward.
On that dreadful day in January which
ended in such bloodshed he never for
a moment remembered the proud atti
tude of his ancestor, thnt other Nich
olas who on an almost slmilur ocea-
lou came out of the palace and con
fronted the angry crowd, forcing the
multitude by his mere presence to full
to their knees and submit.
The only thought of the czar was
to flee from danger and leave to others
the task of smothering the revolution
in blood."
An incident reported in 101(5 gives an
Insight to the physical courage of the
ex-czar, or, rather, the lack of It. The.
account at the time said:
The emperor was reviewing the
troops of Genera! Rrussllnff on the
fiukowinn front when an Austrian
flier appeared overhead and dropped
bombs some distance from the cznr.
Nicholas entirely lost his self posses
sion. In consequence General Rrussl-
otT was bitterly reproached and Gen-
ernl Ivnnoff was put In conininnd over
him."
.Nicholas II. ascended the Itusslau
throne In 1804 and had therefore been
czar of all the Russlns for twenty-three
years when his reign and the dynasty
of the Romanoffs came to their sudden
end. St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
