Many bad cases of kidney trouble result from a cold or chill. Congested kidneys fall behind in filtering the poison-laden blood, and backache, headache, dizziness and disordered klrtnpv action follow. Don't neelect a cold. Use Doan's Kidney Pills at the first sign or Kidney trouwe. Here Is an experience told by a resi dent of this locality. Geo. L. Manning, retired grocer, Talent, Oregon, says: "A cold that settled on my kidneys brought on liackache.

Yon can take an onion seed and a pansy seed, and plant them aide by side in the same spot of ground. In "one case, you get an onion, with its peculiarly strong odor, and in the other you get a flower of rare beauty. You can plant s poppy seed and get opium (a dangerous, haoiWorming drug), or you can plant a rhubarb seed ana set something tnat Helps constipation. No scientist, living or dead, can explain these mysteries of Nature. Behind the invisible life germ in each seed is hidden the deep secret that nobody understands. Everything growing out of the ground seems intended for some use in establishing natural conditions. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., long since found out what is naturally best for women's diseases. Ho learned it all through treating thousands of cases. The result of his studies was a medicine called Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This medicine is made of vegctabio growths that nature surely in tended for backache, headache, weakening drains, bearing-down pains, periodical ir regularities, pclvio inflammations, and for the many disorders common to women in all ages of life. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is mado of lady's slipper root, black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue cohosh root and Oregon grape root. Women who take this standard remedy know that in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription they are getting a safe woman's tonio so good that druggists everywhere scU it : Favorite Prescription should have the full confidence of every woman in America because it contains no alcohol and no narcotic. Dr. Pierce knew, when he first made this standard medicine, that whiskey and morphine are injurious, and so he has always Kept them out of his remedies.

In addition to the foregoing birds thle poultry department had a pen of 10 barred rocks la the Storrs con test which averaged 172.8 eggs.

Trail of Turk Has Left Utter Ruin Despite all their sufferings at the hands of the Hun, the war-victims ef Belgium and Northern France are now busy at their, work of recon struction and can look forward at least to a harvest of some sort dur ing the coming summer. But the Turk Is even more tlioro in his work of destruction than is tho Hun. The trail of the barbarous Turk, wherever Is has lead thruout the ancient lands made familiar to us thru Bible-lore, has left utter ruin, destruction, and starvation both present and prospective. Not con tent with wholesale massacres and every manner of Individual atrocity, the Turks destroyed every agricul tural Implement, killed all the stocK and food animals, and looted and burned all property. The plan of the American Commit tee for Relief in the Near East, In addition to feeding and clothing these pitiable war-victims, Is to pro vide them with agricultural Imple ments, seed for sowing, and domes tic animals from which herds and flocks may be bred. Oregon's quota Is 1184,000 and must be raised by March 15 at the latest. In making out your budget, don't overlook a generous donation towards this work of mercy and re construction. W. H.Kelley, a lumber salesman, of Omaha, found Ncolin Soles so tough and durable that one pair of soles served on a second pair of uppers after the first pair of uppers had worn out in ten months of hard walking. And he says, "Those same soles will stand another ten months of constant daily wear." This is unusual service even for Neolin So'es but Mr. Kclley's experi ence should indicate to you a method of cutting down those rising shoe bills you have to meet. Simply make sure the new shoes you buy are Neolin soled and have worn shoes repaired with these soles which are scientifically made to be comfortable, waterproof and exceedingly long-wearing.

Lidy Assistant Deputy County Coroner Slate Licensed Embalmer City Building Thru Advertising Morris M. lUUhlmii, of Lcm Angolct Altho the proposition should be self-evident, there are a great many persons reasonably well posted in ad vertising, who do no appreciate that If a city wishes to grow, It should ad vertise along the same general lines an a shoe store, manufactory or any other Institution dependent upon the cutslde world for Its advancement Tho normal growth of a community necessarily la slow. This growth can be made more rapid In proportion to the Initiative of those composing it. Community advertising might well be compared to that of a department store, since there are many variations to be Included. One of the first things to do Is exactly what the ad vertising manager of a department store does; that Is, to take stock of what he has and to know what he wants to sell. A survey of resources, advantages, handicaps and possibili ties should be made and then a defi nite system formulated. It has often been said that adver Using Is no game for a quitter. The community that wants to advertise itself unquestionably will get better results thru persistency rather than 'spasmodic outbursts at Irregular In tervals. Each community has Its own problems to work out In exploiting Itself.. General rules cannot be ap plied to all cases. Also, discretion must be used In methods of advertis ing, as exploitation which brings the wrong sort of people to a community is worse than useless. Getting the City Ready to Sell One town may have exceptional facilities for the development of ser- taln Industry and naturally this must le made its "leader." At the same time, a single line should not be de veloped at the sacrifice of other lines fully as Imuortant to the balanced development of the community, If not so spectacular or prominent Many communities do their adver tising blindly and with a view of merely attracting new population. This Is not a sound premise nor is It satisfactory, as frequently the results lead to a more rapid Increase In pop ulation than can be assimilated. This has the effect of changing the newcomer from a hopeful, ambitious new resident to a dissatisfied, par tially discouraged knocker. It is bad business to acquire population faster than It can be converted into co-ordinating units. By making a complete survey be fore beginning to "toot Its own horn" a community has the advantage of directing Its efforts toward round ing Itself Into a normally developed city. An assay should be made of what it has to offer new residents along Industrial, commercial, social and educational lines. If industry lu lacking, centralized effort should be devoted to bringing this up to nor mal If the social life is not at par. an effort should be made to bring It to par, or above. Many do not real ize the value of good schools, librar ies, churches, parks and kindred in stitutions in making a city attractive to the person outside. The man with a family who, incidentally, makes the best citizen, considers carefully what the environment of his children will be before making the move to an un tried community. Appealing to the Right Class Some cities have made successes by specializing In their advertising instead of being general. They have concentrated upon one line, so that they acquire force and distinctive ness ' Very materially. Other cities are so constituted that they have equal advantages in a number of dif ferent avenues of endeavor and ex ploit all of these. The community today that Is am bitious to develop and does not ad- 1. 0. 0.

The world is too busy In these days to go around hunting up what it wants. It Is accustomed to being told what Is offered and mora and more will expect to be told. , , Community exploitation thru sys tematic advertising la becoming quite general. It was comparatively new a few years ago,. The communi ties that advertised as communities could be counted on the fingers of one hand'. Today to wideawake town whose chamber of commerce Is not constantly devising ways and means of bringing It before the world is an exception, "How shall we advertise our com munities" is a question frequently asked. While In detail the answer to each town will be different, a few general observations will apply. The first thing to do after deciding to advertise Is to put the matter Jn the hands of someone who under stands advertising and not some en thusiast who has no conception of the Job. ADVERTISING 13 NOT A KNACK, OR A GIFT, OR A TALENT IT IS A SCIENCE AND CAN BE DONE SUCCESSFULLY BY ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS IT. Money must be paid for advertis ing a community Just as It Is pal l to put In the sewers or sidewalks Cheap advertising is much the same as "cheap" anything else. This does Lot mean, however, that successful advertising cannot be done at reason able expense. The City Advertising Built Los Angeles has often been cited as a city developed by Advertising. One writer familiar with Its history has called It "The City Advertising Built." The first community adver tising done by Los Angeles was with In ten days after Its present Chamber of Commerce was organized In 1SSS a little more than thirty years ago. Ten thousand booklets were printed for distribution thruout the East, to let the people know of the ambitions and status of the city, which then had a population of less than 50,000. The advertising begun then was kept up persistently thru the fat and lean years. The Chamber of Commerce stayed on the jjob and is still on th Job. The population has doubled ev ery ten years and there Is every In dicatlon that the record will be kept up when the Government takes its 1920 census. If advertising had brought merely an increase In the number of resi dents, there might not be much oc casion for recommending It. China leads the world In population. But tho sort of population Los Angeles accumulated by advertising Is the kind of people who spent $5,000,000 of their own money In developing a harbor; put $23,000,000 Into an aqueduct to bring pure mountain water 230 miles from the snow-clad Sierras; bnllt a great Intferurban electric railway system; pay ,more per capita for public education than any city In the United States; have built one of the finest systems of good roads in the world; have taken the lead in various other creditable mu nicipal activities, and who are cred ited with a larger percentage of home owners than any city In the country. That Is the way Los Angeles ad- ivertlsed and Is advertising. It has paid handsomely in tho past and is expected to bring results In the fu ture. The same principle applies to com munity advertising as to any other advertising and this was epitomized by Sarah Bernhardt, when she ex claimed, "How will the world know that Bernhardt lives if they do not hear of her?" 1 Rebekah assembly; evening, confer ring the decoration of chivalry, gen eral reception to the visiting dele gates, exemplification of an encamp ment degree.

Secretary Favors Trails, Telephones Te Importance of trails, telephone lines, and roads on the National For- Cbts to facilitate tho early discovery of fires and quick action to extin guish them, is emphasised In the re port of the Secretary to Agriculture for 1918, which has Just been re ceived by District Forester George II. Cecil, of Portland. The funds available for construc tion work have been too little to per mit of rapid progress In the develop ment of the system of communica tion on the National Forests, accord ing to the Secretary, who also says there should be provision for pushing more rapidly the Improvement work on these forests. He further sug gests that provision be made for a greater number of Forest guards and for the organization of the protec tive system each fire Reason at an earlier date than this has formerly been done1. For these purposes th'j estimate submitted to Congnees In eludes increases for specific Forests totalling $230,808.00. In 1918 the failure of the annual appropriation act to pass Congress until after the fire season was part ly over caused some embarrassment in meeting the situation. .

For salo at ASHLAND CREAMERY sixth of the annual appropriation for the preceding year to cover the months of July and August were In sufficient to meet the situation. The President, however, furnished re lief by placing at the disposal of the Secretary one million rollars as n loan from the emergency fund. The greater part of the entire out lay for flre-flghtlng was on the rela tively small number of Forests M the Northwest which presented con ditions of great difficulty. An un usually severe dry season caused the outbreak of fires before the summer protective organization was ready for them. The situation was met with difficulty by the Forest Service, whose personnel was somewhat de pleted In numbers and much weak ened by the loss of many of Its most experienced men, who were absent In military sorvlce. War condition! also made It difficult to secure good men for temporary appointment 3 guards during the fire season and bodies of men for fighting large fires. For many of the serious fires of the Northwest thore was no resident, population at hand to dra'w upon for fire purposes, which made It neces sary to organize forceB in towns and cities scores if not hundreds pf miles away; transport them by rail road to points noanest the fire and send them long distances Into the woods, and there provide them with equipment and food by packtraln. Thus fires which in other regions would b quickly put out gained headway and in some castes burned several days before the effort of bringing them under control could be made.
