'Catting Llting Expenses, Increasing
Ixan Fund for Deserving Stu
dents. Are Plans to Be Worked
Oat to Aid Instruction.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene.
Or.. Jsr. 17. (Special.) When the
board of regents meet in tbelr annual
meeting tomorrow and the message of
President P. L. Campbell Is read, there
will bo submitted for their considera
tion a proposition democratizing higher
education. .
Tbia will mean a plan for the sys
tematic education of student living ex
penses and co-operation with the high
vrhools of the state, whereby educa
tion at the State University will be
within the means of the youth of the
state. Speaking of his plan. President
Campbell said today:
"The state of Oregon shows a total
college registration larger in propor
the eighth grades to the high schools
within the state during the past two
decades. To bo consistent we tnust
allow this same democratization to
creep Into our higher education."
How PUa la to Work Oat..
To accomplish this a plan has been
suggested by the faculty for inex
pensive living among the students. The
plan provides for the cutting in two of
the average cost of a year at the uni
versity. All the departments will unite
to make practicable inexpensive house
keeping clubs so that the expenses for
each student for a year, including
clothing, will not exceed $250.
It is further planned to increase the
loan funds for deserving students. In
this way, where actual need demands,
the loan funds will provide the mone
tary assistance to students who could
not otherwise come to the university.
"The wealth producing power of an
Individual is shown by statistics to be
approximately doubled by four years
passed in college." said Mr. Campbell
in the Interest or his plan. Thererore
the complete democratization of higher
education Is to be sought as vigorous!
us the democratization of elementary
education. The old idea of higher edu
cation simply for leadership is being
abandoned in the interest of the state
at large- Therefore, to the best inter
ests of the state. It should be that th
largest possible number be given the
highest possible measure of prepara
tlon."
Attendance Increase.
It will be shown In the President's
report that the attendance at the unl
versity increased per cent this year
over that of last year. And this with
the fact that the engineering schools
were cut out has given rise to new
optimism.
It had been thought that fhe stress
of economic conditions as existing at
the beginning of the first semester
would lower the registration mark of
former years. However, according to
faculty members the conditions caused
not a lessening in numbers but an in
crease in seriousness of purpose.
A plan for the erection of a $40,000
wing of a new education building ac
cording lo plans and specifications al
ready submitted, will te presented to
the regents along with many other
Important matters.

SALEM. Or.. Jan. 17. (Special.) A
state bond issue for making permanent
road Improvements and an Increased
tax levy to provide for maintaining
state highways and for redemption of
the bond issue, are recommended by
E. I. Cantine. chief deputy engineer, in
his annual report submitted today to
the State Highway Commission. Con
struction of a coastal beach highway
from Astoria to Crescent City is also
urged.
When the locating parties have com
pleted their work in Douglas, Wasco
and Sherman counties. Engineer Can-
tine announces that the Columbi
Highway will be located from Seaside
in Clatsop County as far as Wasco in
Sherman County and the Pacific High
way will have been surveyed from
Portland to the California line, with
the exception of a section in Josephine
County.
"It is believed that the date is rap
idly approaching when the state will
have to undertake the maintenance of
the main trunk highways, such as the
Columbia-and Pacific highways," writes
Mr. Cantine. At the present time the
State Highway Commission does not
bold Itself responsible for the upKeep
of roads constructed from state funds,
leaving this duty to county officials.
The report urges upon the commis
sion the advisability of working for
enactment of legislation authorizing it
to lay out highways and procure rights
of way for them, and empowering the
commission to arrange with the coun
ties for the maintenance of such state
laid-out roads until a state mainte
nance programme is adopted.
Engineer Cantine says that he be
lieves the County Courts would be glad
to be relieved of the responsibility of
laying out state trunk roads and pro
curing rights of way. The present law
empowers the commission to construct
and maintain roads.
Expenditures of the highway depart
ment from January 1 to December 1.
1915, totaled $223,128.81. according to
the report. Of this amount '58,443.48
was expended on the Columbia High
way in Columbia County. ' and $15,
702.97 on the Rainier Hill section of the
highway. The sum of $34,106.70 was
expended on the Columbia Highway in
Clatsop County. The Mitchells Point
construction of the Columbia Highway1
cost $41,896.36.
The report shows that since April
Engineer Cantine has traveled 15,000
miles by train, 4000 by automobile and
600 by boat.

DRINK A GLASS
OF REAL HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST.
Saya we will both look and feel
clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid Illness.
Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
est application of its untiring research
is the recommendation that It is as
necessary to attend to internal sanita
tion of the drainage system of the hu
man body as It is to the drains of the
house.
Those of us who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices of the sys
tem each morning and flushing out the
whole of the Internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should each morning before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate In it to wash from the stom
ach, liver and bowels the previous
day's indigestible waste, sour bile and
poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. It cleans . ut all the sour
fermentations, gases, waste and acidity
and gives one a splendid appetite for
breakfast. While you are enjoying
your breakfast the phosphated hot wa
ter is quietly extracting a large vol
ume of water from the blood and get
ting ready for a thorough flushing of
all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
ered with- constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness:
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly complexions are
urged to get a quarte pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store.
This will cost very little, but Is suffi
cient to make anyone a pronounced
crank on the subject of internal san
itation. Adv.

"It la Decenary In order to treat head

"Physicians cannot even begin the treat

causes give rise to it, and we must remem
ber that headache is to be treated accord
ing to the same rule. We must not only be
particular to give a remedy Intended to
counteract the cause which produces the
headache, but we must also give a remedy
to relieve the pain until the cause of the
trouble has been removed. To answer this
purpose, antt-fcamnla tablets will be found
a most convenient and satisfactory remedy.
One tablet every one to three hours glvea
comfort and rest In the most severe cases
of headache, neuralgia and particularly the
headaches of women.
When we have a patient subject to regular
attacks ot sick headache, we should caution
him to keep his bowels regular, for which
nothing Is better than Actolds," and when,
he feels the least s4gn ot an oncoming at

patients should always be Instructed to
