Most of the coal will be shipped to Tacoma. ness secretary since March, 1911, has been appointed to fill the vacancy. "Only after giving the subject the most thorough consideration and after consultation with many of my friends did I accept this new position," said Mr. Wonaeott. "I believe it to be the biggest and most promising field of Christian service possible and I could not see my way clear to refuse it." Mr. 'Wonacott's record of service dur ing the years of the war is remarka ble. He has figured prominently In every drive for funds. He directed the first Red Cross campaign in Oregon. His time has been practically at the disposal of war measures for a long time and since the first of this year he has been associate state director for the war savings stamps work, being appointed by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. It was very largely through his administration that Oregon eclipsed all other states in this respect. Career Started With Y." Coming to Portland as a boy of 18, Mr. Wonaeott entered commercial life. but was attracted to the Y. M. C. A. and later became chairman of the mem bership committee and in that capacity made the acquaintance of H. v. Stone, general secretary of the Portland Y.' Mr. Stone persuaded him to become an ffice secretary. This was the begin- ing of his career in the association. He filled various secretaryships here, inally becoming assistant to Mr. Stone. "The work accomplished by Mr. Won aeott In his years of service here can- ot be overestimated," said Mr. Stone. Always faithful to every .trust, at- entive to every dutv and thorough In cails, he will be missed In Portland. Speaking for the association, I want to say that we wish him the greatest possible success in his new undertaking." Soldiers to Be Helped. Dr. William Hiram Koulkes. formerly minister of the First Presbyterian Church of Portland, is general secre- ary of the committee with which Mr. Wonaeott will work. This organization was created by the last general assem bly and plans to project the church into the war In such a. manner- as to reach the soldier and administer to his needs wherever possible, especially when he returns home and is crippled, blind orotherwise unable to help himself. It also desires to bring to each mem ber of the church, everywhere, the live messages of the time, keeping abreast of the rapid changes of the age and tuning the church to the requirements of those with whom it has to do in this and all countries, explained Mr. Wonaeott. Mr. Wonacott's absence from his du ties as assistant general secretary here has placed his work upon Mr. Melby, who has practically been assistant to Mr. Stone. In the absence of Mr. Stone Mr. Melby has acted as general secre tary on a number of occasions. LINN SLACKER ADVERTISED Liberty Loan Committee on Trail of Capitalist Shirkers. ALBAXY. Or., Oct. 12.

UUTJULLU Health A uthorities A larmed At Increasing Death Rate From Kidney Diseases 60 of 100,000 Deaths Each Year Are Due tt Neglect In our pursuit of the mighty dollar, we too often are absorbed in the topics of the day, pleasure, etc.. to stop and consider our health. Stop now think kidney diseases caused 100.000 deaths last year. Are you grolnp to be included in this year's toll? Why, you will ex claim, do so many die, why are the health authorities so concerned? The answer is. we bolt down our food, take no exercise, neglect our sleep and oth erwise subject our system to all sorts of abuse. Is it any wonder, then, the kidneys become diseased and fail in their duties of poison elimination? Poisons are constantly betnsc created In our bodies snd if the kidneys fail to carry them oft they are absorbed by the blood, causing 111 health and misery In the form of headaches, backaches, tired feeling, indigestion, etc Vou may avoid considerable suffer l ins? if you heed nature's warxii&cs and assist the kidneys.
