A Mistake Made by Many
Don't wait for rheumatism to in
dicate diseased kidneys. When' you
suffer pains and aches' by day and
sleep disturbing bladder weakness by
night, feel tired, nervous and run
down, the kidneys and bladder should
be restored to healthy, strong and
regular action. It is a mistake to
postpone treatment. Foley Kidney

The Cherryville correspondent
seems to be convinced that spirit
communication with the living is an
established fact, but we can disprove
that. Theodore Roosevelt would be
keeping every medium in the United
States busy with anti-Wilson articles
for the papers. Seriously, we have
known many good people of mtelli
gence who accept the evidence offer
ed, but that is because, as phrenol
ogists tell us, credulity is one of the
many compartments of the brain and
education does not remove it. If
communication were possible in cer
tain cases or circumstances, it would
be possible in all cases and circum
stances would not be dependent on a
few mediums under mysterious sur
roundings such as darkened rooms,
raps, table tipping, slate writing, etc.
Nature works under general un
changeable laws and surely there can
be no general law here or we would
all be receiving messages from de
parted friends. Modern spiritualism
originated with the Fox sisters, one
of whom married Elisha Kent Kane,
the arctic explorer, and they after-
wara admitted that it was a fake,
I hey discovered that they had the
power of snapping a joint of their
toes and that led them to pretend it
was spirit rappings. It would be
grand if spirit life after death could
be demonstrated without dying, but

THE
FRIENDLY
TOBACCO
Horse Sense About Tobacco
Good tobacco !ought to be like a well
bred hoss all th' kick taken out but
all th' sperit left in.
You see, half the secret of makin' a good hoss is
in the breedin' an' half in the breakin'. Selectin'
tobacco that's grown right is only half of makin'
Velvet. The agein' is the other half.
Thar's only one kind of agein'. that gets th' right
results Nature's own. Nature's v no clock
watcher. She does a job right whether it takes
two years or two thousand.
So when she gets through with the fine Kentucky
Burley that we put away in wooden hogsheads
for two years, it's just tight.
It ain't been hurried none,
or short - cutted. It's a
Nature-done job.
All kinds of things are
packed in tobacco tins, but
your good neighbor will tell
you "Velvet is the real pipe
tobacco." Prove it for yourself.

various parts of the county. A more

Think well how often the people at
tne polls have defeated unwise anl
unnecessary appropriations for the
various state institutions and, at a
time when the laboring man was in
much greater need of employment
than now. We have no idle men to

ing means lor housing the emnloved.
Much private enterprise is confront

Thursday evening, June 5th. has

cordial invitation is extended to the

you to be there. Committees have
been named on finance, arrangements,
entertainment, and decoration. The
entire district composes the banquet

Have you been reading the Ger
mans' criticism of the Peace treaty,
and the replies of the Allies? The
latter are gems and the dictator is
deserving of especial mention and
gratitude. He surely has perfect
command of speech, and it must
cause the Germans to cringe on their
perusal.
Voters should bear in mind that
the reconstruction measure carries
seven and a half million in bonds, the
use of which is contingent on like
action by the federal government.
There are no contigencies attached to
that portion of the bonds applicable
to public buildings, which the people
have lefeated at prior elections. This
is plain camouflage and for a pur
pose. "Why I Don't Admire Some Boys,"
was a question recently liscussed by
a girls' club at Salem. I am yet in
my teens, but have already discov-
crel a number of reasons as to "why
I don't admire some girls." I hope
this may have a tendency to quiet
the girls.
If I interpret it correctly, the
Roosevelt Coast Military highway
bill calling for a' bond issue of two
and a half million, is in reality but a
proposed scenic thoroughfare. It
It penetrates an undeveloped, rough
country, and would be worn out by
pleasure seekers before material set
tlement would be developed. Don't
follow the Oregonian's advice on
this, or the other boundary proposi
tions. To show an insincerity oh the
part of the Oregonian in its recom
mendations favorable to all the larg
er bonding issues, it winls up by say- ,
ing, "No recommendation," when they
approach the Market Roads Tax bill
316, -which provides a levy of one
mill to create a fund to be apportion
ed among the several counties for
market road construction. This is
designed to aid communities not now
on main highways authorized or un--der
construction, to complete a net
work of good roads in the back dis
tricts and is commendable.
