NEURALGIC PAINS
Civ Way to Soothing Hamlin's
Wizard Oil
Hamlin's Wizard Oil is a safe and
effective treatment for headache and
neuralgia. Rubbed in where the pain
is, it acts as a tonic to the tortured
nerves and almost invariably brings
quick relief.
Its healing, antiseptic qualities can
always be relied upon to prevent in
fection, or other serious results, from
sprains, bruises, cuts, burns, bites
a-.'d stings. Just as good, too, for
sore feet, stilt neck, frost bites, cold
sores and canker sores.
Get it from druggists for 30 cents.
If not satisfied return the bottle and
get your money back.
Ever constipated or have sick
headache? Just try Wizard Liver
Whips, pleasant little pink pills, 30
cents. Guaranteed.

HIt THE SOLDI KRS
"Clip as well as knit" is the re
quest of the army men for the sol
dier boys. Anything in the way of
newspaper clippings or, still better,
whole, newspapers or magazines,
would be more than welcome in the
camps, particularly in France.
Nothing would do a homesick sol
dier any more good than to be made
a regular recipient of bis home news
paper. If you can't afford to sub
scribe for him, roll up back numbers
of the paper and send them to him.
If you did feel like putting him on
the list, he would bless you.
Much is said about the need for
keeping our soldier boys away from
the temptations of army lite. One of
the greatest causes of vice is an un
occupied mind. If the army lines are
well supplied with tents where there
Is plenty of interesting reading mat
te r", a great many idle hours will be
pleasantly filled). The fellow who is
quietly reading the home paper or
an American magazine is not chasing
around the outskirts of the camp
looking for trouble.
There isn't any possibility of get
ting too much of this stuff. -The
home paper will be read by soldiers
who come from many miles distant
and know nothing of the place where
it is published. But anything Ameri
can will look good to them. Our
popular magazines will be thumbed
over until they are reduced to rags.
Vernon Castle Is
Killed In Texas
( aptaln Vernon Castle of the Eng
lish Royal Flying Corps was killed
near Fort Worth, Texas, Friday
morning while flying fifteen miles
west of that city. Captain Castle
has made more than 150 flights over
German lines, besides being the cen
tral figure in many heroic exploits
along the Flanders front during the
past nine months. He came back to
the United States with Lord Welles
ley, a short time ago, and was flying
across country l-riuay morning
While endeavoring to avoid an avla-
tlon cadet and his machine, Castle
swerved sharply, lost control of his
plane and fell. Castle was a well
known movie star prior to his en
listment.

The following letter recently pub

of Grants Pass was received by Mrs.
J. A. Harvey from her son, Corporal
Frank Harveyj, Company D, 162nd
Infantry, now stationed in France
which shows the fine stuff our Ore
gon boys are made of, in accepting
the inevitable in the game they are
engaged in playing at present:
Dear Mother and All: Your letter
Just received (January 15), the'first
mall we have received since we left
the states. The package you speak
of has not yet come, but it always
takes packages longer than letters
Whenever you send anything, put it
In a small wooden box, as packages
get some pretty rough handling, but
there is really no need of sending
anything over here as we can get
most everything we want.
That stuff you heard about us fel
lows being so badly abused is all
"bunk." There is nothing to it at
all. Of course I will admit that the
place we were in before we left the
states was awfully cold, but that
could not be helped. I was pretty
sick there myself, but I am not blam
ing anyone for it, and as to what we
have to eat, it is all right. Of course
we don't have ice cream or straw
berry shortcake every meal, but
what we do have Is plentiful and
good enough for anyone,. I have
fared lots worse in the summer
camps than I have on this trip. The
whole trouble is this: some fellows
can never learn that war is not a
parlor game and that one must ex
pect hardships, so at any time you
happen to hear any more of that kind
of "bunk," Just put it down as the
homesick wailing of a "mamma's
boy."
It Is going to be fine over here this
summer, but it is muddy at this time
of the year.

If I do not write that often, do not
worry, because I am in no danger at
all. I can't tell you why, but never
theless it is a fact.

that 'I never would lift my right
hand against them.'
"I want to add my word against
anything and eevrythlng that will

sion that brought the cheers of his
audience.

MILLION' RAISED
IX THRIFT STAMPS
Sales of thrift stamps and war sav
ings stamps in Oregon are reported
it over 1,000,000, almost simultane
ously with the announcement from
Washington that sales throughout the
country had passed the $50,000,000
mark.
The following telegram was re
ceived recently by State Director C.
S. Jackson from Frank A. Venderlip,
chairman of the national war savings
committee:
"The steadily growing volume of
savings placed at the service of the
r.ntlou by millions of cltizns is splen
did evidence of your effective work.
Business as usual is a wholly wrong
theory in war times. It Is only by
teaching the people to save and not
to compete for labor and materials
with the government that we can put
the whole strength of our nation Into
this war.
"This is not only our most Impor
tant contribution to the war, but it is
the sure way to raise the required
n.oney. In the next few weeks we
and our entire organization of nearly
200,000 workers must make It our
common purpose and resolve to
spread this gospel so that there will
be a militant army of war-savers to
r.ut war savings certificates and the
next liberty loan over the top."
L. A. Carniichael, who thought he
was located In Marshfleld for the rer
malnder of the winter, received an
urgent letter from the government,
requesting him to hurry to Medford
and assist in checking up the govern
ment cruise of the timber lands in
Jackson county. Mr. Carmlchael left
Monday morning, accompanied by
Mrs. Carniichael, who will spend a
few days in Medford and then re
turn to Coos county and reside with
her mother at-Dandon. The work at
Medford will require Mr. Carml
chael's services for about 90 days.

POULTRY NOTES
Winter Rations for Pullets.
When the pullets are in winter
quarters and are dependent upon the
feeder for all green food and animal
food as well as for grain, one of the
following rations will supply the va
riety required. The proportions In
dlcated are parts by weight.
Save Good Yearling Hen.
Among farmers generally it is the
common practice to sell the hens that
are past a year old for poultry when
they stop laying in the fall. Under
the usual conditions this is good pol
icy, for as a rule only about half of
the flock lay well enough the second
year to be profitable, and the farmer
who has pullets enough to replace
all his old hens sees no advantage in
keeping any of them over.
This year, however, those patriotic
farmers who desire to do their part
to Increase the poultry and egg sup
plies will find it desirable to retain
a considerable proportion of the year
ling hens. Farmers in the corn belt
especially will find it to their interest
to hold all the good yearling hens
they have, making such addition to
their poultry house equipment, as may
ne necessary to properly accommo
date both pullets and hens. Over
crowding must be avoided, as neither
pullets nor hens will do their best.
Selecting Hens to Keep. '
In selecting hens to keep over,
preference should be given to those
that molt in September or later, for
they are, as a rule1, the most perslst-

tion at this time are those that molt

stopped laying early. The exceptions
which It may be desirable to retain

summer and molted while running

Bulletin Aids Poultry Teachers.
To aid teachers of poultry husband
ry In secondary schools In presenting
the poultry-raising opportunities to
their classes, a specialist In the state
relations service of the United States
Department of Agriculture has pre
pared a teachers' guide on tiie raising
of ducks, geese and turkeys. ' Sug
gestions are made as to methods of
presenting these subjects both In the
classroom and in the laboratory, and
study outlines calculated to help the
teacher and student to correlate the
home work with the" work at school
are given. The bulletin, known as
States Relations ServlCb Document
57,' will be mailed free on request,
while the supply lasts, to Instructors
or administrators of high-school ag
riculture. Pullets that will not begin laying
before winter sets in may be left in
the coops which they occupied while
prowlng as long as the weather per
mits them to rangej.
If our young men could be as free
from disabilities now as they are
when qualifying for the college and
school ball teams, there wouldn't be
so many exemption claims.
That new American bread has the
taste of victory.
Before a great audience that
seemed from the Heillg stage to be
mostly in uniform, Harry Lauder,
famous Scotch humorist and enter
tainer, drove home war epigrams
rlnglngly at noon today, says the
Tortland Journal. It was a torrent
of hate against the Hun and the
kaiser that Lauder poured forth.
In the closing words of his address
Lauder referred , to his son in de
scribing an Incident of German cruel
ty at the front.' And with that refer
ence the hatred Inspired by his own
sorrow seemed to surge Irrepressibly
agalnts his selt-control.
V
"By God. men," he shouted, with
face working, "there isn't anything
too hellish for the Hun. He has
shown me no mercy, and, by God, I'll
show him no mercy either,."
The incident that he related was
one he said his son told him at home
on furlough before he went back to
the front & second time. A detach
ment of troops making night attack
on a German trench was forced to
leave behind 60 of its men captives.
The Germans took them, stripped
them naked, left them all the night
out in the chilling rain, and when
morning came told them that as they
vi ere they might return to their own
lines. The boys wriggled through
the German barbed wire and In so
doing were lacearted from head to
foot. . When they were half way
across the 75-yard width of No Man's
Lsnd the Germans opened up on
them with their machine guns and
riowed them down.
Lauder said that while he was at
the front he saw a soldier in the hos
pital whose face was swatched in
bandages. He had been one who had
aided in the capture of a German
trench. By the side1 of a burning
sandle In a German dugout, 35 feet
below the surface, h'e found a foun
tain pen and took It with him. Two
days later when he took the fountain
pen to write a letter to his mother
that he might tell he was all right,
the unscrewing of the cap was fol
lowed by an explosion that blew half
his face, away.
"There Is nothing too hellish for
the Hun," declared Lauder.
"They call his boche. I call him
vandal, murderer, raper of w'omen,
destroyer of old men and boys. You
may see a boy from the war zone
with his right hand off and hear him
F. A. Thomas, the Myrtle Creek
youth who was arrested a short time
agq charged with the attempted
burglary of his step-father's store
and who has 3ince languished In the
county jail, was this morning taken
before Dr. E. B. Stewart, physician
of the local exemption board, and
subjected to an examination as to his
fitness for military dut) It Is under
stood that Mr. Thomas passed the
te3t with flying colors, and in all
probability he will be given a chance
to fight for his country, Instead of
serving a term in the state's prison.

Mrs. Jesse M. Jones, living near
Oregon City, recently cut the index
finger off the right hand of her hus
band that he might evade the draft.
When explaining the incident before
Deputy District Attorney Burke, she
said she did It so her husband would
not be called away to war, and de
clared that she would rather be
hanged than to have her husband
taken away from her. The husband

charge of being a slacker, and it is
probable the wife will be held as an
accomplice in the plot. Oregon City
