City Health Officer AVolf Guards
Against Paralysis.
Having been notified by St. Vincent's
Hospital that no cases of infantile
paralysis will be taken there. City
Health Officer Wolf yesterday asked
the City Council to provide an isola
tion hospital, where cases of this dis
ease may be taken. The Council au
thorized Mayor Albee to buy a two
room portable house, which can be
erected in case of need.
Dr. Wolf said he would be in a
serious predicament if a case of the
disease should come into Portland on
a train and none of the hospitals would
take it. He says there' may be no need
or the proposed detention place, but it
is best to have it in case of emergency.

AIO THOUGHT SMALL
Rogue River Expects but Little
From Rural Credits.
DISTRICT IS ORGANIZED
Committee, However, Anticipates
New Plan Will Bo About as
Advantageous as System
Xow in Voijue There.
MEDFORD, Or, Sept. 20. (Special.)
Apparently the local rural credits
committee appointed to confer with the
Federal farm loan board does not anti
cipate any great Benefit to the Rogue
River Valley, from' the passage of this
measure.
E. H. Hurd, secretary of the local
committee which had a long- conference
with the visiting- committeemen, has
published a detailed report with the
following conclusion, "We believe that
the various safeguards will make for
the loaning of money undr at least as
favorable terms as are now possible."
As Mr. Hurd is an ardent Democrat,
this is regarded as slight praise for
the practical benefits of the rural
credits law.
The report continues that the only
crumb of comfort for the orchard man
is the fact that orchard, land which
brings a high return per acre might
possibly be considered as worth not
$200 to $250 but 300 to $400 an acre.
The concKisions of the local com
mittee follow:
That the county be divided for the pres
ent into tho following districts:
1. Eagle Point, north and east, including
Upper Roguo River, Butte Creek.
2. Sams Valley, Gold Hill and contiguous
territory. ' ,
a. Applegate and tributaries. .
. Ashland and vicinity.
5. Talent and vicinity.
6. East of Phoenix and along Bear Creek
and southeast Medford.
7. West of Phoenix, southwest Medford
to be called Griffin Creek.
8. West of Central Point, including north,
west Medford. etc., as Willow Springs.
9. Central Point and vicinity.
10. Bear Creek and east of Central Point
to Sticky. -
That a committee of one be appointed
in each district to hasten this work by
securing the co-operation of hla neighbors.
That after the petitions are all prepared
and prior to their being sent in to the dla.
trict land bank for action, that a Joint
meeting of the representatives of these
several proposed local units meet to go
over boundaries in -detail to ascertain what,
if any, changes are needed to make them
successful, as it can he done easier before
a charter la granted the local organization.

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair
Most soaps .and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which Is very
Injurious, as It dries the scalp and
makes the balr brittle.
The best thin? to use Is Just plain
mulsified coeoanut oil. for It Is pure
and entirely grreasless. It's very cheap,
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything; else all to pieces. Tou can cjet
this at any drugstore, and a few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. about a teaspoonful is
all that Is required. It makes an abun
dance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quiokly and evenly, and Is
soft, fresh looking bright, fluffy,
wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it
loosens and takes out every particle of
iufit, dirt and dandruff. Adv.

SURE YOUR CHALMERS

This 856,000,000 "run" on the 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers has not stam
peded the Chalmers factory.
Quite the contrary. The cars are coming out of there so fhre, so exact,
so thoroughly tested, that all we have to do no-vr "when tre take them off the
freight cars is to pour in oil, gas and water, run them a few miles and
deliver.
There's an excellent reason for this condition. The Chalrners-Cxmrparry
has a young army of eagle-eyed inspectors who take great pride in finding
a fault in a car when it comes out of the plant.
This costs just $250,000 a year in cold cash just one quarter -of nanl
lion dollars a year to "catch the little things.''.
IN firmly believe that most factories would let wgohysmTO.ars-anf

It sounds like a lot of money, but when a coTxrpany maintains -the elogzm
of "Quality First" and bases a 856)00,000 business -on the-cpxality idea
then it becomes quite clear.
I firmly believe that three times 6250,000 is returutI'TXrthe -h:dra3tcg
of the Chalmers Company every year through such a policy.
It certainly makes selling a Chalmers car anything but a dlfficnllznatXEE
