GILBERT IS SPEAKER Judge Gantcnbein AIxo Stakes Ad dress and Points to Present as Critical Time Demanding Loyalty and Patriotism. "Those who lie here consecrated their lives and paid the last full measure of devotion Tor the greatest principle for which our Nation ever fought human ity and the relief of a Buffering and oppressed neighbor country." Thus apoke W. S. Gilbert, chaolaln of the Third Oregon Infantry, at the unveiling exercises held yesterday by the Spanish American War Veterans in Riverview Cemetery. Then the chaplain struck the keynote cf his address, in which he indorsed the words of Judge C. U. Gantenbeln, the speaker who had preceded him. "Now is the most critical time in our history pince we became a Nation," he said. "Trouble In Mexico and a prreat tragedy in Europe threaten to embroil us. Now is the time for all to keep a cool head. Jn the difficulties which beset our Na tion let us so shape our course that these honored dead, who have given their lives for us, shall not have died In vain. Let us be true to the prin ciples which our forefathers fought to maintin in every war in which our country has been engaged." Sincerity la irrged. Chaplain Gilbert sought to impress the fact that what the Nation honors on Memorial day it must stand ready, if necessary, to fight for on the morrow, in order to live up to the ideals upon which it was founded, and has. since been maintained. Judge Gantenbein spoke of the stir ring days of 1898 when the Second Ore gon Regiment responded to the call to arms.

Critic-Ism Made of Anarchists, Soap Box Orators and Advocates of Single Tax. "We must not only be ready to take up the sword, if need be, In defense of our country, but we must be ever doing all that lies in our power to make it a united, free ana prosperous country." said Rev. J. C. Hughes in his sermon. "Decoration Day, It's Never-to-Be-For-gotten Lesson." delivered at St. Law rence Church yesterday morning. There were a number of the members of the Grand Army of the Republic and Spanish-American War Veterans present. The pastor urged that neither differ ence of religion nor of parentage be permitted to prevent the uniting of the people of the Nation into one common brotherhood. "IJke the Romans of old. we should be brothers and never should permit our National life to be embittered or disturbed by contentions or wranglings about subjects that have no reference at all to our political conditions, he said. Hence the question of a man's religion should never enter into de bates that relate to the making and enforcing of laws and. above all. should never control decisions of the ballot. Along with the question of religion, that of race, too, should he completely removed from our civil intercourse. We do "not belong to any other Nation because we, or our forefathers, came from it. We are all Americans, pure and simple." "Law . and the enforcement of law make the truest kind of liberty." Mr. Hughes declared, and he quoted Cicero as saying that liberty consisted In being a slave of the law. Speaking of the lack of prosperity among some classes of the Nation. Mr. Hughes said that for the solution of the problem of poverty and the ever widening gap which lies between the rich and the poor the workingman should go to the ballot box. "Where must we look for a remedy for the problem of poverty?" he said. "Certainly not from those who wave the red flag of anarchy; nor from the soap-box orator, preaching his seduc tive doctrines; nor from the single taxer, who contends that the private ownership of land is against natural justice and should be uprooted without a penny of compensation."

More than i'000 men have been discharged from the army as physically unfit on a maxi mum pension of 17s d about 14.35 a week. This statement appears in an appeal for better pay for disabled sol diers made by Sir Frederick Milner, for 20 years & member of Parliament. Sir Frederick says he has visited thousands of men since the beainniita of the war and kept In touch with them afterward. The sum now paid la not. in his opinion, sufficient to sustain life. "They have uncomplainingly gone through hardships and sufferings al most unparalleled in the history of warfare." he declares. "They have sac rificed what many of them value more than life Itself; they have helped to save our hearths and homes from irre parable disaster, and a grateful coun try awards these pitifully maimed heroes a miserable pittance. "I assert positively from my own knowledge that many of these men. just discharged from hospital, for whom plenty of good nourishing food Is a necessity If they are ever to hope to regain even partial health, would have had to break up their homes and be deprived of absolute necessities but for the timely assistance of the Sol diers' and Sailors' Help Society, whih help cannot be indefinitely continued." A government that pays well-to-do people $6.25 a week for billeting a man and the same for keeping a cavalry horse, ought to be able, according to Sir Frederick, to give its maimed fighters proper care.

HEW DANGERS OF CONSTIPATION A recent Usue of the New York Timet ay: 'Recent research of Prof. Metchnikoff nd others have led doctor to uppoe that many condition of chronic ill health, nervous dehilit y, rheumatism and othT disorders are d'ue to poiaomnjr eet up by unhealthy condition in the Lare intes tine, and it has even bee a auR nested that the lowering of the vitality resultini? from Vuch poisoning is favorable to the develop ment of Cancer and Tuberculosis. 'At Guy's Hospital Sir William Arbtith not Lane decided on the heroic plan of re moving the diseased organ. A child who appeared in the final stage of what was believed to be an incurable form of tuber cular joint disease was operated on. The Lower Intestine, with the exception of nine inches, was removed, and the portion left was joined lo the Smaller Intestine. "The result was astonishing. In a week's time the internal organs resumed all their normal functions, and in a few week tJ. patient was apparently in perfect health.'" The Lower 1 ntestine can never get into this condition if Internal Baths are used. The "1. B. L.
