(Continued from Page 1) ' It is a fair law, dvised in the in terest of the tax payer, to give him a square deal in the hour of emer gency, and to protect him in that hour from the tax title vulture and the scheming land attorney. It pro vides for the publication of the de linquent' tax list, it is true, but it also provides and this is the part of the law the Portland Journal would have'you overlook that pub lication of the delinquents shall only be made after a mailed noUce has been sent out, regularly advising the delinquent that his taxes have not been paid. The ' publication, there fore is but an emergency measure, to be resorted to only when person al notice has failed to notify. The taxpayers should quickly real ize the practical value of such a law. Suppose you are away for the time being. Or let us assume you have changed1 your address. In either case a mailed statement would in all probability fail to reach you. Some time later, the delinquent lists is published in the home paper, and your friends, relatives, or neighbors notice immediately that you have overlooked your taxes, and hasten to drop you a line. They know where you are the tax collector doesn't bother about you unless you notify him of the change. The result? The title grabber, that peculiar pest who is always loitering about the books in the tax office, loses a chance to buy- in your place for a song, and you are saved the embarassment and work of re- . deeming your place. ' This isthe present law, and this is exactly the way it works out. Jackson, working with a certain Portland attorney, would cut out the publication requirement of the present law. He would end the mat ter once and for all with the send ing of notice through the mail. If you fail to get it, under his scheme, you are the loser, and the tax title vulture will then pick up, some easy money and you will foot the bill. Such is the bill proposed by Jackson and Hagood. Kill it if you '"'would confer a favor on the taxpay ers of Oregon.- Vote "NO" on the Jackson delinquent b'ill.

Post Office State MILK AS STRENGTH BUILDER ADVOCATED Dr. Mae Car-dwell, Back From Washington, Advises Housewives. Dr. "Mao H. Cardwell, of Portland, who recently returned to Oregon from Gary, Ind., New York and Washington, where she was engaged in medical re search work for the Children's Bureau of the Department of Labor, said In an Interview: "The dairy Industries muBt be encouraged. The children of America must have milk. They can not thrive without good clean milk. Housewives must use more milk. If they demand it the dairyman will find some solution to his problems and will see that his cows get the- feed and that he keeps them alive and in good health. However, if the women don't order the milk, the dairyman isn't go ing to keep his cows around Just as pets and ornaments. Feed is too scarce and labor too high for that. It's up to the housekeepers. "Are you sending your breadwinners to work with all the vigor and strength you can muster for them In the way of proper food?" asks Dr. Cardwell. "If they don't get the" right food they can't think or work well. The same applies to the school children. See that they have milk to drink; milk in puddings. The kitchen is the power plant of the family and consequently, of the nation. Don't waste a drop of milk or an ounce of butter, but ,use plenty. ' The health of the nation is the kitchen question. Milk is one Of the main factors hi a diet" ,"' Baby Expert Preaches Greater Use Of Milk. A milk bill and healthy children is cheaper than a doctor's bill and an underfed, under-nourished child. It would be cheaper to start right' So says Mrs. A. Bayley, of the Parents' Educational Bureau, Oregon Congress of Mothers, who has presided at the testing of thousands of babies. She finds the mllkfed youngster of three or four years scores much higher than the child who has had little wnllk In his diet. Mrs. Bayley preaches a greater use of milk for young And old. . Dairy Commissioner Sees Encouraging Signs. J. D. Mlckle, State Dairy and Food Commissioner, stated recently that the dairy situation, In spite ot high prices of feed and scarcity of labor, is not all gloom. Reports have come to him from various parts of the state show ing that the housekeepers are begin ning to' see that they must pay more for milk than they did a few years ago. The dairymen are beginning to take heart, too, in some instances and are looking to the future when the cow of today will be worth much more money alive than .she would now, slaughtered. And that future Isn't so far off if the dairymen only continue te have courage and patience. The wise man and the one whs Is far-seeing, is keeping hiB herds intact. True, he won't keep the old boarder who would Just eat the food and bring no. returns, but he Is holding his good stock. The sensible housewife, too, must know a man can't feed and care for cows, keep a first class dairy, and provide clean bottles and well paid dellverymen without some expense. The Oregon Daley Council is doing much to get the situation straightened out. The exhibit at the state fair, the splendid cooperation of the Food Ad ministration, the publlo schools, Ore gon Agricultural College and the Bu reau of Health, all help the educational work and are part of the great task of "keeping the home fires burning," which task Includes the preservation ot essential home industries and the health of th nation. A farmer may slaughter his dairy herd in three hours but he could not replace It In three years. BABIES MUST HAVE MlLK 4 . '4 ' "You get mofe calories to the 4 penny from milk than from any 4 other food even at the present 4 price," said Dr. E. J. Labbe, 4 specialist, who returned recent- 4 4 ly from Europe and who spoke 4 at the State Fair and at other 4 4 patriotic gatherings. Dr. Labbe 4 4 told of the children he treated 4 .4 in the Red Cross children's hos- 4 4 pltal in Evlan, on Lake Geneva, . 4 4 In France. The little French 4 4 and Belgian refugees were wan 4 4 and weak and almost lifeless. 4 4 A mllK diet soon brought good 4 4 results and the babes thrived. 4 4 "But," said Dr. Labbe, "they 4 4 will never entirely shake off 4 4 . the marks made by the months 4 4 in which they were starved for 4 4 milk. Children must have milk 4 if the race .is to go on. It Is 4 4 every man's and every woman's 4 4 duly to do all in his power to 4 4 keep the herds of Oregon alive. 4 4 Feed men, mill men, dairymen, 4 4 householders, dealers, everyone 4 must co-operate. The babies of 4 4 ' the world must be saved." 4 4 4 44444444444444444 Milk may be used not only as an addition to an already rich diet, but In place ot some of the slowly digested dishes which over tax the digestive organs and impair the health. Milk contains all the elements necessary to sustain life and build up ,the body. It must be remembered too, that butter is a food for all, for rich and poor, for old and young. Cottage cheese is another, dairy product that is of great food value. Milk As An Energy Maker Acknowl edged by Shipbuilders. Because Portland and Seattle ship builders make a scramble tor the milk bottles when the noon whistle blows they are becoming famous and to the fact. that they drink milk is attributed their ability to do better work. than any other shipbuilders. Now comes San Francisco showing she, too, has taken up the habit. The Pacific Dairy Review says "one dis tributer alone , supplies 1,500 quarts dally to men In the Union Iron Works," although, the review adds, "in San Francisco, the mllk-drinklng habit is still in its infancy."' Here's another argument tor keeping up the dairy herds. The milk bottle is backing the beer can off the map. Time was. when the men of the iron works would have "rushed the can" as they termed getting their beer. . ' ' "The food value of a quart of milk is the equivalent ot three fourths of a pound of beef, two pounds of chicken or eight eggs. Compare the costs and milk wins." Dr. E. V. McCullom of John Hopkins University who visited Oregon not long ago made this state ment. He adds "For the sake of your family's health, and for the reduction of your living expenses, use more dairy products, and then some more." "The restricted Use of milk would mean a serious loss of energy, and a serious menace to the winning ot the war" says G. A. Morgan in Hoard's Dairyman. Shoes have gone up -in price but we buy them. They are a necessity. Yet milk, the food that Is necessary to everyone, because it goes up, is too often cut from the diet. Isn't that t little Inconsistent? We must have pure fresh milk. Count It economy to see that each child in the family has at least a pint of milk a day. Get the milk habit Encourage the dairymen to keep up his dairy. He is willing to do his share but he can't do everything without cooperation. The self-denial of the American home, added to the efforts of the American farmer, have removed fear from the minds ot our Allies, for this year, at least. Let's keep it up.

Providnce, R. I. "I was all run down in health, was nervous, had head- aches, my dbck ached all the time. I was tired and had no ambition forany thing. I had taken a number of medi cines which did me no good. One day I read about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound and what it had done for women, so I tried it My nervousness and backache and headaches disappeared. I gained in weight and feel fine, so I can honestly recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound to any woman who is suffering as I was." Mrs. Adeline S. SifNCH, 100 Plain St, Providence, R. I.

The latest reports from the sur geon-general s office unfortunately in dicate that the disease is as yet un checked in army camps, and the gov ernment has considred it ncessary to issue a warning to the effect that all possible steps should be taken to pre vent conditions from becoming even worse throughout the country. It is said that reports have been received showing the presence of the disease in every one of our states except five, The condition , at our national capi tal, with its overcrowded offices, ho tels and dwellings, has become so serious that extraordinary . precau tions are being taken orders having been issued for the immediate closing of theatres, dance halls, moving pic ture houses, ; etc. The Washington schools have already been closed, and the time of ODenine stores and nub lio'bffices is being regulated in order to avoid dangerous crowded condi tions on street cars. The hospitals are already filled to capacity and two buildings have been taken 'over by the government to be used for the treatment of war workers. Unfor tunately the condition in Washington seems to be a fair example of the situation in over-crowded districts in many other parts of the country, and there is need for complete co-operation on the part of the public author ities and peoflje generally wherever the disease appears. While the situation in certain parts of the country is undeniably acute on account of the large num ber of persons affected, fortunately, in almost every instance the health authorities are proving able to check the spread of the disease shortly after its appearance; moreover, the percentage of fatalities is compara tively small. People should bear in mind the fact, however, that while there is no reason for any great alarm or panic about the matter, it is important for everyone to exer cise unusual care as to health and all should aid in every possible way to prevent the spread of the epi demic and to combat it wherever it. appears. 1 The most important precautions against the disease are said to be to avoid crowded conditions and over eating. Coughing, sneezing or ex pectorating in the presence of others is also dangerous, since the disease is highly infectious. j The design and the construction of the VAUGHAN is based, on and is the result of f y dj hard earned experience. It is made under the personal' supervision of a mechanical ' 4 engineer who has had 15 years of practical experience with the wood and timber con- 5 ditions of the Pacific Northwest. It is the only proven, practical machine of its kind. J x x i tA Tfcti ti tht oriiinsl mschlM Pit. Die. M .tt ' 1 W ' ' , tout t Mid f psuthf (iprimml tt.
