COTTAGE GROVE. Or.. Jan. 8. Bpe- IciaL) Miss Kan Shtvely, one of the I teachers of the Cottage Grove High 1 School, is the center of a fierce school flght, here which, If her attorneys are suc- Icueeeful, promises to demoralize the High School system, of the city and throw all nuplte above the eighth grade out of school. Some time ago Miss Sblvely was en- fed to teach one of the grades in tne School, but was unable to furnish ie proper certificate and was therefore by the School iioara. -tier was taken up by some of the prom inent citizens, among them being Mayor J. Smedley, and she was persuaded to her case to the County Buperin- &n4ent of Schools. W. B. Dlllard.' Mr. ijllard, on consideration of the -case, sus- the complaints of Miss smveiy. the School Board, not to be per suaded, appealed the contention to the state Superintendent. The latter omciai t versed the decision of Professor Diuaru. Papers were filed yesterday in the Cir cuit Court asking for an Injunction against the board to restrain the directors am paying certain of the teachers who re employed In the higher grades. It is the plan of the attorneys for Miss shlvely to show that the establishment of ae High School grades was not accord ing to the law provided for such pro cedure, and In this way to abolish the ?per grades and make the directors per- snally responsible for the wages claimed is due by Miss Shlvely. It is asserted that the action and trouble instigated by friends of Professor A. L. ;gs, who formerly taught in the Ichools, but was not re-elected by the aard at their last teachers' election. If the attorneys for the plaintiff aro luccessful In their contention it will mean Ihe forced abandonment of the High chool department for the time being at ut, and will be the source of much rouble to the present board of directors. .ho will be compelled to at once take Iteps to organize the school according to 36 provisions of the Oregon school law.

Almost Everything .We Eat Con demned as Poisonous. Lancet. , There Is a society in Manchester called the Manchester Physical Health Culture Society. Sometimes Its speakers advo cate very sensible modes of living and at other times their subjects seem to run away with them. On November 23 a gen tleman gave an address chiefly consisting of a wholesale condemnation of most or dinary foods, which he thought were the principal cause of disease. For the Ig norance on this subject he considered that the education authorities were morally re sponsible because they did not teach hy giene in all the schools. Salt was the flrst thing that came under his ban. and he Is reported as saying that, "like arsenic. It Is Tin irritant poi son," which we must have, but as natural vegetable salt, which is usually boiled out and thrown away, thus drawing a marked distinction between what he calls "or ganic vegetable salt" and "Inorganic min eral salt-" The former, he says, enters Into chemical combination in the system, while the latter "Is merely held In me chanical solution In the blood. When minerals out of the earth, such as salt, soda, lime. Iron, phosphorus, sulphur, coal or brimstone are eaten, they clog the system In much the same way that dust and dirt clog and wear out machin ery"; and he goes on to say that some eminent authorities ascribe cancer to the use of salt, especially when food such as fish. meat, bacon and ham Is eat env which has been cured -by salt. The Idea that salt Is the cause. of cancer Is, of course, by no means new, and Is believed by many as firmly as folks believed some 50 or 03 years ago that brandy and salt would cure everything. He then runs amuck at the use of "fiery spices, as mustard, pepper, ginger, cloves, nutmer horseradish, sauces, vinegar and pickles," passing on to denounce we must say quite rightly in many cases the use by manufacturers and venders of food of such substances as borax, boric acid, soda, baking powder, cream of tar tar, aniline dyes and sulphate of copper for coloring. Hence the foods In which they are mostly used, as jams, marma lades, jellies, milk, butter, margarine, cheese, potted shrimps, sausages pies, brawn, poltfny. cured meat, fish, ham. ba con and many of the tinned foods, ought not to be eaten. "The law ought td for bid these poisons being introduced into the blood." Of course, the lecturer condemned tea. coffee; cocoa, meat extracts and alcohol as not being foods, but deleterious Btimu lants which "mortgage our nervous forces." Aerated waters, he says, are generally unwholesome from their con taining such preservatives as tartaric and carbonic acids, saccharine, artificial or mineral colorings and flavorings- "The only liquid necessary for man Is water." Sugar and all foods containing it are bad. also honey: while dried, crystallized, very sweet fruit, such as dates and figs, are little better. "Fats are another popular but disease breeding, death-dealing food. These fats bring on headaches, fevers, colds and general debility, and It Is almost impos sible to have a fit. a stroke of heart fail ure without consuming these foods." He does allow that some fat is necessary, but says that it may be obtained from whole wheat, oats, maize, milk, nuts, fish, fowl and flesh from sheep and oxen nat urally fed on paslurage. but not from those artificially fattened, like pigs and prise cattle. He, of course, condemns pastry, puddings, cakes; all plain and fancy bread, biscuits, confectionery and other starchy foods that have any ani mal or vegetable fat, oil or butter as an Ingredient. At the close of. the lecture one of the audience asked anxiously whether the lecturer would tell him what he might eat- "I recommend," he said, "vegetables, rice and salads." "Is that all?" He was assured, however, that a few things were still left that a person over 23 years of age might eat safely. Drowned in Gold Ray Dam. MEDFORD. Or., Jan. 8. (Special.) H. R. Moore was drowned Friday evening at Gold Ray by falling into' the race. Moore was employed as carpenter and there are two crews.

Moore recently came from California and had a wife and child. He was about 35 years old. Coroner Cameron wentto Gold Ray this afternoon to hold an In quest. Kansas City Dessert. Kansas City Journal.' ' .-, A woman lives at one of the Kansas City hotels who has the reputation of being rather finicky and hard to please In the matter of food. A day or so ago. at lunch, after looking over the dessert list, sho decided on some ice cream pudding. The meaj had been one with which- she had had considerable difficulty in finding any fault, but when she had about half finished the dessert she called the waiter over and said: "George, what do you mean by calling this Ice cream pudding? There Isn't any Ice cream about It, and you know it." "Yes'm," said the waiter, "I know dere ain't no Ice cream in It. Dat's jes a name they give It. I do' know why." "Well." she continued, "1 think that If they give a dish such a name they ought to make it conform to the name, and if you call this Ice cream pudding you ought to bring some Ice cream with it." "Yes'm." answered the servitor, "but you know we can,'t alius do It that way. You know we doesn't bring a cottage. In with cottage pudding." Domestic and Foreign Ports. AssTORIA. Jan. 8.
