eral merchandise store at Cook, Wn.,
is in Oregon City. During his absence
Miss Jessie Fonts is in charge. Mr.
Fouts is making arrangements to
run a real estate and loan aeency in j
connection with his store, and if con- i
ditions are still favorable he will also I
erect a feed, hardware and imnlpment i

DON'T CUT THAT CORN
That corn is liable to become a far
greater misfortune if you cut it. Aside
from the danger of blood poisoning,
which is always to be reckoned with
in cu-tting a corn, the least slip of the
instrument is likely to leave a gash
that will make the corn many times
more painful. Cutting through the
corn into the flesh makes the corn
grow deeper, and more irregularly,
making its cure more difficult.
We guarantee Rexall Corn Solvent
for hard and soft corns, bunions, warts
and moles, and any other calloused
condition of the skin caused by undue
pressure or fiction. If it does not re
move the corn or other callous, we
will cheerfully hand you back your
money the instant you tell us. Price,
25 cents. Sold in this community
only at our store. The Rexall store.

COMPETITION.
Instead of looking upon com
petition as the baneful and anti
social principle which it is held
to be by the generality of So
cialists. I conceive that even in
the present state of society and
industry every restriction of It is
an evil and every extensionof
it, even if for a time injuriously
affecting some class of laborers,
is always an ultfmate good. To
be protected against competition
is to be protected in idleness, in
mental dullness, to be saved the
necessity of .being- as active and
as intelligent as other people,
and, if it is also to be protected
against being underbid for em
ployment by a less highly paid
class of laborers, this is only
where old custom or local and
partial monopoly has placed some
particular class of artisans In 'a
privileged position as compared
with the rest, and the time has
come when the interest of uni
versal improvement is no longer
promoted by prolonging the priv
ileges of the few. John Stuart
Mill.
Why They'r Trams Abroad.
"Abroad," said a tourist agent, "yon
must call street cars trams and street
railways you must call tramways. The
word tram must puzzle the average
etymologist. It derives from a man's
name Outram Thomas Outram. Ou-
tram lived in Derbyshire, and In the be
ginning of the last century he invented
a peculiar sort of track that diminish
ed the friction between wheels and
roadbeds. These tracks of Outram's.
though nothing like a trolley track.
were called first outram ways, then
tramways, and when street lines and
street ('ars ,,ame into existence they
were dubbed respectively tramways
and trams.'
More Scientific.
"I can't get that woman, to take any
fresh air." complained the young phy
sician
"You don't word your advice prop
erly," said the old doctor. "Tell her to
perambulate daily in the park, taking
copious inhalations of ozone" Wash

Haus Wagner Is about done as a ball
player:
Sounds almost ridiculous, doesu't it.
to those of us who for more than six
teen years have been watching his
wonderful performances on the ball
field?
And yet it is a fact a fact which
will be received with deep regret - by
the thousands of men. women and
children who are Houils' stanch friends
all over the major league circuits yes,
all over the country or wherever
America's national game is known.

JHREE VIEWS OF HANS WAGNER, PUTTS
BUBOH'S GBEAT SHORTSTOP
big Teuton are mistaken Wagner will
in all probability never again play
reeularlv as a Pirate. He will not be
released, ror ne has neen a good aua
faithful servant, and the chances are
that in some capacity he can remain -with
his present employer as long as
lie wishes to he identified in any way
with baseball. .--
But the Pirates can no longer depend
upon him as their regular shortstop
as a terror to the opposition, as a man
who can go unflinchingly through a
whole season's campaign without suf
fering any hurt or showing the slight
est apparent fatigue.
Those days are gone, never to re
turn. Wagner has served his employ
ers faithfully and has made a record
which has never been equaled and
probably never will lie'. He has noth
ing to regret, hut can spend the re
niainder of his days looking back over
a record which is spotless and which is
the high light of the National league's
modern history
. Frolics of Ivan the Terrfblo.
Ivan the Terrible, among his many
Insane freaks, would let loose wild
bears in the streets of his capital and
placidly say his prayers while watch
ing the slaughter of his people, "fling
ing a few coins to the mutilated sur
vivors as he rose from his knees." He
would compel parents to slay their
children, and children to kill one an
other; and if there was a survivor
"the amiable monarch would dispatch
him with his own hands, shrieking
with laughter at so excellent a joke."
In one of his lighter" moods of frolic
he commanded the citizens of Moscow
to "provide for him a measure full of
fleas for a medicine." and Gned them
7,000 roubles when they failed.
Why Married Men Live Long.
The reason a married man lives long
er than a single man is because the
single mah leads a selfish existence.
A married man can double his pleas
ures. Any time he has a streak of
good luck it tickles hira all over, but it
makes him feel twice as good when he
tells his. wife about it. And she is so
pleased and proud that he feels like a
two-year-old. There isn't a chance
in the world of a man's arteries hard
ening or his heart weakening when he
can get. a million dollars' worth of
pleasure out of making his wife happy.--Cincinnati
Enquirer.
Too Thorough.
"Why don't you try to make your
constituents understand problems of
government?" . . .
"That's what I have done," replied
Senator Sorghum. "I have been too
thorough about it. A lot of them now
think that they can give advice in
stead of taking It" Washington Star.
Fearfully Foxy.
"I work a foxy scheme on my boy.
He'd rather wash the dishes than
wash his hands.-so I let him wash the
lisbes."
"What's the foxy part?" " .
"Why, he gets his bands clean."

Boiling Vegetables,
Food experts long ago pointed out
the very small quantity of mineral
matter and bone building material 1n
succulent vegetables. Now a household
expert and food scientist has found
that when such vegetables as spinach,
cabbage and carrots are boiled they
lose about half of the small amount of
mineral constituents which they con
tain. Spinach, for example, gave op
more than TiO per cent of Its mineral
constituents and cabbage 40 per cent.
As the loss of mineral matter in these
foods makes them less nutritious, the
problem of. retaining these mineral
parts of the. fond assumes some impor
