When a girl becomes a woman, when a woman becomes a mother, and when a woman passes through the changes of middle lile, are the three periods o! life when health and strength are most needed to withstand the pain and dis tress often caused .by severe organic dis turbances. Many thousands along the Pacific Coast would testify just as do me luuowing; Monroe, Ohkgon. "I am certainly flad to recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite 'rescriplluii. 1 think It is a God-send to womankind. During expectancy 1 was, ih. gi sick with that terrible morning sickness. I wus so bad that I just could not eat one thing. I commenced taking the 'Favorite Prescription' and I was re lieved at once no more nausea, no head itches, no backache, and 1 got through so well." Mrs. W. T. Pockhcs, Care McCready Camp. Sokki.i.a, Oiikoox " I have suffered everything during expectancy but the last time I took Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription anil I never missed a meal and hud comparatively no suffering. I would surely recommend the ' Prescrip tion' to ah prospective mothers and, also, for young girls coming into womanhood. "A friend Is taking this medicine now as I advised her to and she is improving fast. Ono would not know she was the ama woman." Mas. U. E. Gibson. Now that the daylight saving bill has become law, perhaps some of our young bloods can worry through and le ready for bed at 2 a. m. An exchange says of the great dam to be constructed on Sunday river In Africa: "It will impound sufficient vater to support 10,000 persons." Just how much water does it take to support & person, anyway? Uncle John D. Rockefeller has just finished paying his Income tax, amounting to $32,400,000. This leaves him only $22,000,000 on which to support his family this year. With the help of all the -Hoover regula tions this should be made to answer, If he gives careful attention to the garden.

Because sphagnum will alisort 20 times its own weight it has been set tled on as the Ideal surgical pad. The allies have used It for some time, but their deposits are vlrtaully exhausted It is lighter, cheaper and far more absorbent than cotton. The only availably deposits of sphagnum are in the northwest and Alaska and the finest quality so far has been located at Ilwaco, in the cranberry bogs there. Earl Kllpatrick, director bureau of development northwest divisional Red Cross, was in Ilwaco recently and ap pointed J. J. Bush special agent of the American National Red Cross and upon him will devolve the duty of getting off the bogs 2000 tons of moss required. Mr. Bush was promised by Ilwaco that the entire population would gather the moss from the bogs. Jt will then be dried and shipped either (o Seattle or direct to the chapters making the bandages. The making of sphagnum bandages and dressings In this country has l-een fraught with disaster. The na tional leader of the work, Harry J Smith, was in Ilwaco and Portland but a week before his untimely death March 16 In a railroad accident. With the exception of a few persons he had instructed, none knew how to make sphagnum bandages, as Mr. Smith had not even had time to put his instructions on paper. From the nucleus of his personal workers, most of whom are at the University of Washington, there will be held for the representatives of surgical dressing workroom of the chapters all over the northwest. Thes; workers will then instruct their re spective chapter members. It will tax the entire resources of the surgical, dressing workrooms in the northwest to fill the enormous 500.000 order, of which 200,000 will devolve on Oregon and approximate ly 90,000 on Portland. A special paper Is now being manu factured In the east for these dress ings, which will come by express, and it Is conjectured that the northwest will be making shortly 5.000,000 sphagnum dressings a year.

If they will, the country can stand for them. Oregon to Meet Great Emergency Oregon has 500 carloads of surplus potatoes, say $250,000 worth at re tall, which will spoil by summer if not eaten. Our soldiers and the al lies on the blood-drenched fields of France must have 75,000,000 to 90 -000,000 bushels of wheat between now and harvest or quit fighting. Po tatoes are cheap. We must eat them and send the wheat to the front. We are actually not eating as many po tatoes this year as last, when pota to prices were sky high. Isn't that just like human nature? To use this Oregon surplus evety person in Ore ton over ten years of age should eat about a bushel of potatoes in the next three months than he usually eats. There are 270 meals In thre months and this means we should add an av erage of nearly two ounces of pota toes to every one of our meals every day until July. Can we do it? ,The Germans eat three times as many potatoes as we do. They are literally winning the war on potatoes. Shall we do less? We must fight the kaiser man for man, shell for shell and potato for potato. Think of the wheat Oregon can save by eating her surplus potatoes! Hotels in many cases are serv ing only insignificant portions of po tatoes, and these wretchedly cooked The patriotic hotel and restaurant men from now on will serve lots of potatoes, attractively cooked and at a resonable price. If he does not do so, remind him of his duty. Unless the farmers can sell their potatoes they will be discouraged and refuse to grow them this year. A shortage Is bound to follow, with soaring prices. And it would-short-ago of wheat continues, that might mean famine. Let everyone double or treble his present use of potatoes. Potatoes are good fuel. They fur nish starch which burns in your muscles to let you woric, much as the gasoline burns in an automobile en gine to make the car go. One medium sized potato gives you as much starch as two slices of bread. When you have potatoes for a meal you need less bread. Potatoes can save meat. They can give you salts to renew and build all parts of your body and to keep it in order. Cook your po tatoes well and serve them attractive ly. An old king is said to have tested each cook before hiring him by ask ing him to boil a potato. Even the best potato can be spoiled by poor cooking.

ITCHELL & WHITTLE "THE MEN'S STORE" LAKE COUXTV SHEEP IX GOOD CONDITION" Conditions were never before more favorable for the sheep industry In Lake county than at present. Owing to the exceedingly mild winter the sheep are in as good condition as when taken from the summer range last fall, and as a consequence the quality of the wool will be excellent. The lambing season Is now on, and if the present favorable weather con tinues the percentage of increase will be very heavy. Lack of water on the desert is a problem for the sheepmen hut feed Is exceptionally good and no shortage of range Is anticipated. It is believed that the income from wool, lambs and mutton in Lake county this year will reach the $2,000,000 mark. It will be many years before the hen trible will cease boasting of the great age attained by their ancestors who flourished during the world war.
