A SUBJECT of interesting and some
what resentful discussion in the
local clubs Just now is that of the reg
istration difficulties met by Oregon
widows whose husbands were foreign
born, but became citizens of the United
States many years ago. In many cases
the widows have no positive knowl
edge as to when and where their hus
bands were naturalized, and the citizen
ship papers have been destroyed.
Ur.der the law, the widow to be entitled
to register must either show her hus
band's naturalization papers or swear
that she has positive knowledge of his
having been made a citizen, giving as
any particulars as possible. Her af
fidavit made upon "information and be
lief cannot be accepted, and many
women feel hesitation at swearing to
positive knowledge of what they really
know by "hearsay" only. For this rea
son they cannot be registered, and so
lose their votes.
At a recent meeting of the Portland
Woman's Club the session for a time
practically was turned into an experi-

ing of the difficulties met by them
selves or their friends and their dis
appointment and resentment at being

"Of course the provision that a
wife's status as a citizen is fixed by
that of her husband is a relic of the
days when there was little or no an
ticipation of woman suffrage." said
one speaker. "It has come down to
us from the days when woman in the
ey.s of the law. was merely a chattel.
Naturally, we feel rebellious, but we
should remember that the registration
clerks are not to blame, and should
not become impatient with them, as I
am afraid some of us are inclined to do.
The only remedy Is an act of the Leg
islature, repealing the old provision
and making the wife an independent
individual as regards her citizenship.
As tKa law now stands, the chattel
rights of a husband may stand as an
obstacle to his wife's citizenship 10 or
20 years after he is dead-."-
One of th measure to be put before
the Legislature at Its next session will
be an act or an amendment providing
for an independent status of citizen
ship for the wives of foreign-born
husbands. In drafting this measure,
locf.l club women will ask for the ex
perience of California women who have
some test cases pending decision.
According to County Clerk Coffey,
there Is sime queston, under the Ore
gon law, as to whether a native-born
wife's citizenship rights are affected by
those of her husband, and in view of
this doubt, he has given instruction
to the registratldn clerks to permit
all native-born women to register, if
otherwise qualified.

WB. J. writes from Willows, CaL

Shingles.
"Twelve months ago I had a bad at
tack of shingles, running from the
center of the chest on the left side to
the spine. The blisters broke and I
was troubled with a weeping sore for
some weeks. All has healed up now,
but the skin is tender to the touch,
and almost all the time is painful, feel
ing as though I were thoroughly
bruised all around and as though the
skin was raw, especially where I ner-
spire. I have used phenacetin, salol.
asperin, antikamnia and codein, also
potassium iodide, without any benefit.
I came here from Portland, hoping to
be benefited by the change, but am no
better.
"I have been a subscriber to The Ore
gonian for the past 20 years, so per
haps you may give this consideration."
Reply.
Shingles, or herpes zoster, is a break
ing out on the skin of little blisters
following the course of a nerve. The
skin eruption is 'due to an inflamma
tion of a nerve as a neuritis or a neu
ralgia. The ordinary form of neuralgia
is not attended by shingles.
The really serious difficulty is not
the shingles, but the acute inflamma
tion or hemorrhage that takes place
at the root of the nerve where it is
given off from the spinal cord, and so
interfering with the entire function of
the nerve. In your case the nerve in
volved follows the rib around to the
front of the - body, . and the blisters
appear over the entire course of the
nerve, or in the skin supplied by that
particular nerve.
The reason why the cure Is so slow is
because of the inflammation at the
root of the nerve and in the spinal
cord where the nerve is given off.
Those past the middle of life are
more likely to have this trouble, and
it indicates a more or less debilitated
condition of the general system. The
inflammation may be due to an infec
tion. It no doubt is due to some acute
poison formed in the body.
You will be better off where It is
warm and dry. A few weeks passed in
a good sanitarium such as you will
find at Loma Linda, or Glendale, Cal.,
will enable you to improve your health
in a general way, to give proper at
tention to your diet, and to have proper
hydrlatic treatments, with galvanic
electricity, and massage. The" medicines
you have taken may relieve the pain
but they do not remove the . cause of
the trouble.
More About Catarrh and DcafnrxK.
Mr. W. P. H. writes "Will you
please tell me of a good cure for ca
tarrhal deafness. I am almost deaf in
my left ear and can hardly hear a
watch with my right ear, unless it
touches the ear. The eustachian tubes
are closed or partly closed. I take
cold easily and I have an awful roaring
in my head. Will" medicine open the
tubes or will they have to be opened
with a probe? I have tried various
kinds of nedicines advertised as a
cure, also tried one doctor, but no re
lief. It certainly would be a great re
lief to be rid of the roaring even if
the hearing is not restored."
Reply.
1. If you mean by a "good cure,"
medicine, there is none, for there is no
combinations of medicines taken inter
nally that will help deafness. Medi
cines in the form of sprays applied to
the throat may relieve the congestion
about the eustachian tubes, but a spe
cialist should be seen for any such
treatment.
2. The frequent colds make your ca
tarrh worse and increase the roaring in
your ears. One of the best ways to
avoid colds is to accustom yourself to
taking cold water rubs once a day to
get your skin in a more resistant state
to changes in the temperature.
3. Medicines in the form of a fine
spray, or given by a nebulizer may help
to open the tubes. Proper inflation
of the ears will stop the roaring, and
so will massage applied to the ear
drums by means of a little instrument
made 'for that purpose.
4. You are wasting your money in
buying any advertised medicine for
which claims are made as a cure for
catarrhal deafness. As soon as you

Interview With m Theatrical Manager.
fVNE day a -"- anned the morn-
J ing newspitp... , -.iarian ran onto a
piece of theatrical gossip that cap
tured her attention. It was to the
effect that the Holaday Players, under
the direction of Sam Ratgenhauer. the
local theatrical promoter. would
shortly open a three months' engage
ment In stock.
It occurred to her at once to visit
the promoter and see if she couldn't
get a part, no matter how small. She
hesitated to make her appearance on
the local boards and face the battery
of eyes of her friends, but in the end
she resolved to try to secure an en
gagement.
That afternoon, looking her pretti
est, and trembling with timidity at
the boldness of her venture, she set
out for the office of the manager. Un
like the busy New York managers,
she encountered no difficulty In get
ting to him, and after a few. minutes
waiting, she was admitted into his
private office. She beheld a well
dressed man of 45, with a diamond
blazing in- his cravat, and leveling a
pair of shrewd eyes at her. He did not
stop smoking when she entered.
"Well," he said, pleasantly, "what
can I do for you?
"I wondered if there would be a
chance for me to get a part with the
Holaday Players," she began.
"Acted any?" he questioned.
"I did some work in amateur pro
ductions at college, but nevef profes
sionally," she replied. "A part, no
matter how- small, would do. I'm very
anxious tof get' a start."
For several moments he did not
answer, but stroked his chin reflec
tively, his eyes fixed so steadfastly
upon her that she was compelled to
avert hers with a feeling of vague, un
defined discomfort.
"You've got the looks, all right," he
said.
"I don't knowabout the looks, but
I'm sure I've got the intellectual quali
fications," she replied, wondering
whether or not to resent the familiar
ity of his words.
"It's the looks that count more than
anything else In this game," he an
swered. "Audiences want to see good
looking women and pretty gowns.
You'd have to furnish your own cos
tumes," he added.
"Then you think there'll be a chance
for me, she said eagerly.
' "Can't say just yet," he replied, non
committally. "Come in and see me
again in a few days. It's a little early
to say. Are you in earnest about
wanting to go on, little girl?"
"Yes."
"Stock's a hard grind," he said,
reaching out and patting her hand.
"What's the matter?" he demanded,
as she abruptly withdrew her hand.
"You mustn't do that," she said, re
sisting with all her might the Impulse
to object with sharp words to his conduct.
"Oh, I didn't mean anything," he
laughed. "Come and see me again
in a few days. I'll see what I can
do for you."
