There are more than 600,000 prevent able deaths In the United States every year. There are a million and a half people lying on sick beds in the United States any day In the year who should not have been there. Such are the dec larations made in the University of California Journnl of Agriculture by the distinguished economist Irving Fisher, professor of political economy in Vale university. "Human life is needlessly shortened at least fifteen years In the United States." declares Professor Fisher. "Moreover preventable diseases, even when not fatal, cripple the power to work and mar the Joy of living. I ven ture the opinion," be says, "that the average man or woman In the United States is not doing half of the work nor having half of the Joy of work of which the hutnuu being Is capable." While there is now a decreased loss of life from infection by the germ dis eases, there Is an increased loss of life uft( r middle age from the degenerative diseases, such as hardening of the ar teries or Brlght's disease. Neglect of individual hygiene Is declared by Pro fessor Fisher the chief cause of this degeneration, and he urges every one to observe absolute cleanliness, to cat the proper foods, to work hard, but to play and rest and sleep, too, and to avoid worry. "The secret of life and of happiness," says i'rofessor Fisher, "seems to be In taking one's life and work cheerfully. Almost any one cuu assume this atti tude If the proper desire is pv-seut" . CADETS OF CHAPULTEPEC.I Heroism of Gallant Littlo Band of Mexican Schoolboy. T,he defense of Cbapultepec during the war between the United States and Mexico in 1847 was almost as gallant as was the attack. In this attack forty' eight Mexican cadets, among others. lost their lives. The story Is a stirring one. For many years the celebrated castle of Cbapultepec, where Montezuma held bis barbaric court In the surrounding groves of cypress, where during nearly three centuries lived the successive viceroys of Spain and where Maximil ian made his imperial borne, has been the West Point of Mexico. When General Scott bad taken the place by storm and General Bravo bad surrendered, a Mexican cadet only fif teen years old, seeing the flag of big country in peril, most of big comrades being already slain, climbed the flag staff, tore the banner from its place, wound It around bis body and slid down, intending to plunge over the precipice In order to save the colors from falling Into the bands of the euemy. That act of heroism being frustrated, the brave boy, with the banner still wrapped about blm, fought until be was cut to pieces. Forty-eight of these schoolboys, ranging In age from four teen to twenty years, He buried In ono grave at the foot of the hill. Year after year the cadets of Cbapultepec strew flowers upon the grave. Los Angeles Times. Finger and Toe Nails. Finger uuils and toenails are only another phase of the development of man from the animal that originally walked on four feet. Animals that walk on all fours use the finger and toe coverings, which In man is the nail, to scratch hi the ground, to attack ene mies and to climb with, and dur nails of the present day are what the devel opmcut of man into a civilized being has changed them to. At that there are still uses for finger nails and toe nails, or man in his changing to a higher plane would have found a way to develop away from them, says the "Book of Wonders." They are useful today hi making our fingers and toes firm at the end and enable us to pick up things more easily. The time moy come when man will have neither flu ger nails nor toenails. i Livingstone's House Preserved. Measures have been taken by the British government to preserve the re mains of Dr. David Livingstone s bouse at Koloben, or Kolobeng, Eechuaua laud. and the graves In its vicinity. Here Dr. Livingstone lived as a mis ' sionary among the Bechuanas before setting out upon bis great Journeys of exploration. With the aid of the native chief, Sechele. the ruins of the house have been fenced and protected by a shed, and the site is to be kept clear of Jungle and placed under the care of the headman of a neighboring village.

Many years ago black walnut was used extensive ly In the manufacture of the best grades of furniture, and In old churches pews and pulpits made of It can be found today. The demand for the wood Is gradually causing them to dis appear. New York Sun. Careleseneia and Fires.

I came three hundred and forty miles to this meeting in response to an invitation to talk business of com mon interest, because my heart grew heavy contemplating Impending dan ger to the future prosperity of my chosen country.

That appears to me to be a bad symptom one that, if let run, may result in complete ossification or hardening of the arteries, either of which ultimately brings death to the patient. Mr. Retailer, no matter from what section of the great Northwest you come, the profit derived from Jobbing trade with you 111 never build a paved highway from Mexico to Can ada, or leve grad,es over these ruggea mountains, If it goes to manufactur - ers and Jobbers of the East for com modities that can be manufactured in the West. Please do not complain of high taxes, poor roads and bad bus iness until you have done your full share in upbuilding the industries of the Northwest. It Is of common remark that little Is manufactured in the West. That is of shame to us. We do not proper ly support the ones we have. Our im-1 mediate danger Is not from foreign . foes. It is from within. There is dearth of community spirit. We lack cohesion, sympathy and co-operation among our own people. We seem still to have the great lesson to learn that lasting prosperity comes to the individual only through the advance ment of his neighbor. In Southern Oregon we have learned the lesson so poorly that nearly half of our citizens make their purchases through mall-order houses. Buying away is a withering and foolish, though ulmost universal, habit. The Ashlander buys his sup plies In Portland instead of at home. The Portlandcr goes to Chicago for his. The Chlcagoan buys his In New York. The New Yorker goes to Paris and the simple Parisian comes to Ash land to get the best that can be found on the round globe. We have simply formed a mania for sight-unseen buy ing. That 13 but its natural exemplar and It fatuous cycle. "The mill will never grind with the water that's run by," nor will the dol lars shipped to the far east for mer chandise ever build big industries and happy homes In the Northwest.

Tho Western quality is O. K., but the people have yet to be convinced of that truth. It Is your duty, my duty and the manufactur ers' and Jobbers' duty to educate the people on the subject.

How and why does every body think that? Royal, and Crisco, and Aunt Gemlma and a thousand other Eastern manufacturers have educated the people to think it, and these brands the people buy. If Royal stopped Its educational campaign for six months the "twenty-fIve-ounces-for-25-cents" kind would get the American pantry shelf, because, without proper education, quantity goes before quality, and the Royal manager would be left wonder ing what in the devil had hit Hanna. But Royal knows. Experience has taught it,s lesson. Royal keeps on educating and gets the business. Where Is the boy not familiar with the "Fish Brand Slicker"? Down in our country everybody has one. Not one "Just as good," but a Fish Brand. Willi' ? Because the manufacturers never allow a country newspaper to go to press, during the rainy season, without the old fisherman peering out at the reader from beneath his big fish, and everybody knows him. Down our way in every Issue of the newspapers flashes out: "Unless they are made by Levi Strauss, they are not KOVERALLS." No wonder we buy our koveralls from California. We can think of nothing else. Strauss won't let us. Do our mer chants carry them? Of course. The people demand them and self-lntrest commands the local dealer to supply the demand. Is any such commodity made in Oregon? If so, we have nev er heard of It. What is true of Royal, and Crisco, Fish Brand and Strauss can be made true of every ware manufactured In the great Northwest. "Made in Oreeon" Is a fine slogan. Put to common practice, It will make the stato great. "We use only Oregon made goods" is a good running mate and. when adopted, it should stand boldly out on every country newspa per page until the people adopt and practice if., In the science of profit publicity Is a tremendous factor.

He ap preciates things.. Mr. Toastmaster: Representing the country press on this occasion, I am not unmindful that we are guests of the matchless city of Portland to night and that I am now speaking In resnonoo to her kind Invitation. It is hlKlily Important to us that Port-1 land become the greatest manufac- j turlne city on the Pacific. What I srty here is with no spirit of criticism, or intent to' offend. The country pi ess is not altogether fault less. It has neglected, in a measure, educating citizens to broader action and closer brotherhood. But, the combination cf mistaken action by localities and dances Is a marked symptom In our ailment and should be touched on at this time. We Oregonlans are proud of Port land and pleased with the hospitality within her gates. She is a marvelous city. We look to her as the smaller does to the big sister, expecting to find her alert rnd magnanimous. Big sisters can well afford to be magnan imous. In fact, to feel otherwise Is a shriveling omen. Introspection has Its good uses. It pays to frequently take a square look at one's self and discern, In verity, whether our habits of life are dwarf ing or expanding. The agency that causes us to do that Is not foe, but friend. There are those throughout the state who feel that our big sister is neither so tall as her skyscrapers, or so broad as her proper trade territory. The othjer day at Klamath Falls home trade was the topic A promi nent merchant of that place admitted that he waa an exclusive patron of San Francisco Jobbers, saying: "Yes, I buy In San Francisco.

That body seemed to think more of sixty dollars' expenso the trip would occasion than It did of the Klamath country and her greatest enterprises. Purely selfish. Why should we act otherwise? OC course, I buy at the handiest market. Why should I inconvenience myself to favor a town that does not recipro cate? They all look alike to me." I confess that rather punctured my enthusiasm, because the conversation , called to mind that at the same in stant Ashland was straining ever nerve In pulling off the greatest cele bration in her history. She had Just completed her mineral springs proj ect, a fine park and one of tha largest auditoriums in the state, at a cost of over three hundred thousand dollars, and was cele brating that event. She felt she had accomplished wonderful things for a small community and felt proud oC her achievements. Sho had gone tha limit in celebrating It. She had sent a delegation to Portland to extend an invitation and cultivate Interest and good wlll.i Portland Chamber of Commerce said she was with us sha would send a good delegation and a special train. The day arrived. Tha cannon booms. The fireworks flash out Into the night. Wicked horses buck and the long-horned steers meet a magnificent foe. Where Is Port land's delegation?

Portland can greatly prosper only by building up her trade territory. By taking It under her grent wlnss, even as a hen taketh her brood undor her wings. By helping to nourish her natural offspring oo it will grow big, fat and sleek.
