Eugene, Jan. 11. (Special.) With tha organ ization of the -underclassmen of the university Into four companies of the reserve officers training camp, the university started Its programme of combined military work and athletics for the men this year. Drill hour was decided as 3:30 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons. One term of credit will be given for this work. In addition, the men will do two houra a week athletic work. The upperclassmen. with whom en rollment In the corps Is optional, will probably receive no pay for their work. ince they cannot qualify under the Government rulings. The prerequisite for enrollment for upperclassmen is wo academic years of service in the senior. division. It has been held that service in a cadet corps under an of ficer of the Army essentially covering the basic course may be considered as the equivalent of one year of academic service. The men must sign up for five houra week of drill If Uey are to receive pay and must also agree to take the military training In a Summer cam probably aix weeks. The men do not seem to want to meet these req uirements. Total enrollment ' of underclassmen has been definitely determined, but th estimate of President Campbell is that probably 350 men at least will take th training. Upperclassmen will probably also desire to take the work, especially the athletic programme, which Colonel John Leader and. Dean Walker are making attractive. MIL EXTENSION IS URGED BONANZA PEOPLE REVIVE MOVE FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION. Approximately $10,000 of $1,000 .Needed to Finance Plana la Appropriated at Meeting. KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. Jan. 11. (Special.) Early extension of the Sirs horn railroad from Its present terminal, at Dairy. 30 miles east of this city, to Bonansa. waa Indicated at a meeting of th residents of that section. Between 110.000 and $13,000 of the 114.000 necessary to assure this con strutlon was pledged. Sometime ago Robert Strahom told a committee of Bonansa citlsens that If Bonanza would grade the line and furnish the ties for the seven-mile spur he would lay steel and operate train service between Bo nansa and Klamath Falls. The war put damper on all construction work but since the armlstiae waa signed there has been a strong movement for continuation of the development. Twenty-five or 30 men attended th meeting and arranged for a uniform wage scale whereby those having spsre time could put on men and tea and do part of the work themselves. The new spur to Bonanza may later become a link In a road from Langell Valley to Lakevicw. in the opinion of many who are In touch with Mr. -Stra horn's plana OREGON YOUTH IS CITED Benjamin Dorr Is Among Men Hon ored by King Albert.

You will find my Offices splendidly equipped with the most modern instru ments that can be purchased. Some of them cannot be duplicated in any other office in Oregon; as, for instance, the Ophthalmic Test Case, used in fitting Punktal lenses.

We know the "rules" know what to do when everything happens "according to Hoyle," but what we ALL lack is originality, initiative the power to analyze the unusual and make rules for the "exceptions." This year fhe "flu" baffled the ablest efforts of our most learned physicians there was no "rule" to go by and therefore no specific. v The "exception" is filling graves because it is an "ex ception." Next year impotence on the part of the medical pro fession may be termed "incompetence" ; we MUST have a specific; the "EXCEPTION" MUST BE A "RULE." Let some scientist make his name immortal by leaving the beaten path long enough to find the cure in the un explored wilderness. ' Ever since dentistry was in its infancy dentists have searched for a PERFECT local anesthetic, one that AL WAYS worked, one that was ALWAYS safe, one that - NEVER produced bad after-effects and one that was in expensive. I have not found the "PERFECT" ANESTHETIC, but I have perfected one that more nearly represents the ideal than any other I have ever seen or heard of. I did not find it in the textbooks, either; it was and is the result of countless experiments carefully made in actual practice; it is not a "rule," it is an "exception" in an ex ceptional dental office. i MY WORK IS GUARANTEED ABSOLUTELY. ! i Examination and estimates free.

Health Authorities Alarmed At Increasing Death Rate From Kidney Diseases , 60 of 100,000 Deaths Each Year Are Due to Neglect in our oursult 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 400,000 deaths last year. Are you going 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 Js, 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 being created in our bodies, and if the kidneys fall to carry them off they are absorbed by the blood, causing ill health and misery in the form of headaches, backaches, tired feeling, indigestion, etc. You may avoid considerable suffering if you heed nature's warnings and as sist the kidneys. Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Remedy Is a reliable prepara tion made from herbs and other bene ficial ingredients that has been used with excellent results for 40 years. J assists the kidneys in their important duties, strengthens and helps repair the wasted tissues. It Is very effective and Is used in thousands of homes.
