Holder that the foolish motorist uses when smoking cigarettes us ho oping along, instead of permitting hi lungs
to bo filled with sweet, unadulterated air. - -- - 1 , -
And now It Is the Automobile cigarette bolder .This
small new device la to enable the enthusiastic motorist
to more firmly grasp between the lips the lighted bit of
rolled tobacco as he spins through the park or along hard
rolled country roads. The little holder may add to the
convenience of the automobllist in keeping the cigarette
In bis mouth, but it would be much better 'if the cigarette
was altogether missing. The one great thing about rho
torlng is that the occupants are in the beautiful fresh, free
air. As the machine dashes along the road the lungs
must be filled with its pure sweetness, and It Is only the
foolish who permit the . tainted cigarette , smoke to fill
the lungs' when health and strength could otherwise be
breathed in.
TO REORGANIZE. . :
VALLEY LEAGUE
(Journal Special Service. ,
Albany, Or., Jan. 11.- Local baseball
fans are turning their attention in the
direction of the diamond. -and an effort
will be made to reorganise the Willam
ette Valley league, which comprised the
towns of Balem, Albany; Eugene and
Roseburg. The league was organised
last year and was more or less -ot an
experiment It was proposed to make
it purely amateur, but before the sea
on ended all kinds of ball players were
drawing expense money" from the club
and the result was not satisfactory to
the originators. Each club received the
gate receipts from its own grounds, less
the expenses of the visiting team, and
games were played on a schedule embrac
ing every Saturday .and .Sunday from
the latter part of May until near Sep
tember 1. Salem had a decided advan
tage over ; the other clubs on account
of the largo attendance and because
the Chemawa Indians, who are excellent
ball players could be maintained at very
mall cost; owing to their near location.
"When the hiring process commenced and
the rivalry waa highest, players from
the National and Coast leagues were
paid large sums and it waa purely a
question of who had the longest sack.
The clubs, except Salem, either finished
the season several hundred dollars in
debt or were obliged to assess the stock
holders: to ward off that disagreeable
contingency. The lovers of amateur
sport, however, have not abandoned the
hope of a purely amateur league, and
a meeting will be called in the near
future to perfect plans .which It la
thought will bar out the professional.

Spokane, Wash., Jan. 11, Gentlemen
of sporting proclivities of this city have
formulated a plan whereby they can pull
off a fight and not run counter to the
- law.' All arrangements have been com
pleted for a fight to be held at Newport,
Idaho, between Barney . Mullina - and
Black Kid Rogers, to occur January
25. The officials in Spokane will not
allow firstclass exhibitions to take place
here, and so the sports will go to New
port, which Is Just over the line. Nick
Broan and ' Harry Zealand came over
from' Newport yesterday and last night
met the fighters and made all arrange
ments for the event. Brown says' that
his place will comfortably seat 500 peo
pie. The men will start at once on
their training. While here Brown made
arrangements and a special excursion
train will be run to Newport on that
day. Mulltns has a well-known record.
Including two draws of 20 rounds each
with Perry Queenan of Seattle, a draw
with Indian Joe Gregg, and he drew fine
and lost one on a decision with his bat
ties with big Burrows, who in each con
test had it en hlra by 25 pounds. The
Black Kid is said to be a very clever
coon, who has fought rings around some
very good lightweights.

Increase in Longevity
: From American Medicine.
It Is admitted that many Uvea are now
prolonged which under the conditions of
a century ago or even half that period
-would have inevitably been lost The
Introduction ' of vaccination aney other
forms of preventive and curative inocu
lation, including the various antitoxins,
the discovery of the means and methods
of anaestbetlsla and antisepsis, and the
recognition of the Importance of clean
liness, personal and circumferential,
have In numberless Instances accom
plished what would formerly have been
regarded as sclentlflo miracles in the
preservation and prolongation of human
life. - But in considering the broad
question of the actual increase of the
length of life, there are several aspects
from which it must be examined. Do
we mean by Increased longevity that a
larger proportion of individuals attain
centenarian rank, or that the average of
age at the time of death has become
greater? Are we to understand that
each Individual lives longer than he
would have lived under the conditions
of one or more centuries agof
The death rate has of recent years
been decreasing in all the civilized coun
tries. In this connection we must rec
ollect that the mortality in every com
munity varies with age. In infancy It
la very high, in childhood very low, from
10 to IS years of age It Is lower than at
any other period of life, then It continues
low, but with gradual Increase until
middle age Is passed, after which it
rises rapidly in every succeeding decade.
We find that according to the common
consensus of statisticians the only trust
worthy means of conducting this Inquiry
Is by examination of the life tables, by
whinh wa RAitm to HMPtiln tH ..-
f tation of life at each year of age. Such
taDies rorra the basis or all the calcula
tions of insurance companies, and are
constructed from the mean population
for a series of years at the various ages,
and the mean annual number of deatha

: place last Saturday night but for some
reason U was called off. Just who the
principles are to be is not definitely
known, but the affair will no doubt bo
one of interest to local sports, and the
' attendance promises to be good. : . ,

What woman who has to go out In all
sorts of weather has not worried as to
how ahe should dress her feet on wet
and slushy days? -
The ordinary heavy winter boot will
not keep out the wet Gaiters and rub
bers are better, but they are clumsy to
look at the tiresome to adjust and, if It
is really bad weather, . rain soaks
through them.
There Is the lightweight waterproof
shoe, made of flexible rubber, that can
be pulled on and off easily over the
boot This seems a very sensible and
useful invention. It insures perfect
dryness. - - . , '

These boots are 10 inches high and

Wagner worship takes Just as varied
forms as that of any deity. The latest
proof of this was a strange dinner given
recently by an opera singer. The table
cloth was embroidered with a border of
the great composer's most celebrated
"Motives," in the usual sheet muslo slse.
The service used was of Dresden, each
plate and dish representing a scene from
some well known opera, gold letters and
oars of muslo forming the border.
The center decoration was a miniature
reproduction ot Lohengrin's ship drawn
by swans. The idea was carried out
too, in the menu. Every Item was a
play upon some work or character' ef
the Immortal Wagner.
Imagine yourself confronted by such a
menu as "Walkure Bisque" soup; "Sieg
fiicandean;" "Rhlnegold Fish a la Mat-
tre;" "Fricassee with Wotan Sauce:"
"Flying Dutchman Cheese." and "Drv
uosimaaerai." Bureiy, this is a substan
uai proor or adoration.

The horse does not like a nervous.
fidgety, fussy or Irritable man. He Is
too nervous and irritable himself, says
Country Life in America. .
"Why Is It," one teamster, was heard
to ask another, "that Phln's horses are
always gaunt? phin feeds well." "Yes,"
was the reply, "but he's like a wasp
around a horse."
A well-known owner of raea horses,
not at all a sentimental person, recently
made an order forbidding his employes
to talk In loud tones or to swear in the
stable. "I have never yet seen a good
mannered - horse," he says, nhat was
being sworn at all the time. It hurts
the feelings of a sensitive horse, and
I'll keep my word good to discharge
any man in my employ ir i catch him
swearing within the hearlnr of anv
horse in this stable."
; Xow loner Tea Should Stean.
Tea, according to a Jesuit priest who
aa long ago as 1664 studied Its making
In China, should steep "no longer than
you can say the Miserere Psalm very
leisurely. Then pour it upon the sugar
in the cups." Ladles, therefore, should
begin to say the fifty-first Psalm "as
they fill the teapot and with the final
"Araea" begin to pour out, ,
at the corresponding ages. Now, It is
known that the contagious, infectious
and gaatro-intestlnal diseases, ' which
furnish so large' a proportion of fatal
cases in infancy and childhood, do not
cause even fi per cent of the deaths
which occur after ths age of 46.
On the other hand, the deatus of per
sons over 46 from alcoholism, cancer, tu
berculosis, diabetes, old age, apoplexy,
diseases of the heart and blood vessels,
of the respiratory and digestive organs,
of the kidneys and bladder, and from
violence, constitute about 90 per cent of
all such deaths.. In fact the deaths
from some of these causes, in spite, of
all our sanitation, have Increased at such
a rate as to cause serious misgiving for
the future. In the city of New York
the death rate from Cancer and from dis
eases of the kidneys (Brlght's disease in
its various forms) has doubled in 30
years; so that in some respects the sav
ing of life among the young by the' par
tial suppression of contagious and septic
diseases tends to be counterbalanced by
an Increased mortality after middle life
from diseases depending more on per
sonal habits than on external causes.
We find that during the past half
century the expectation of life for males
at birth haa increaaed by nearly four
years. But the lowering of the death
rate and the Increase of ths expectation
of life do not necessarily imply in
creased logevlty of the race as a whole.
The saving of so many fragile young
lives has the necessary effect of throw,
lng forward into the later periods of life
a large number of weakly persons, and
the average atamlna of ths 'population
Is consequently reduced; so that where
the decline of life begins and the phys
ical powers decay, this undue proportion
of weakly Uvea tenda to increase ths
mortality at advanced ares.
