HIRE IS A "FLU" SUGGESTION FOR SALEM " Dnrine the last visitation of what they called Spanish influenza Jn Portland, before the present visitation of the same or something else, the United States Government sent an expert to that city to study the evasive thing. 1 Through the recommendation of this expert, or some one else, while he was there, i the city of Portland for a time enforced very itnctly the ordinance against spitting on the sidewalks V And flushed the, streets with water very often. The disease soon died out. Salem has a similar ordinance against, spitting on the sidewalks. , There ts plenty; of water. And the fire department has plenty of hose. A man now living in Salem, who was a resident of Portland during the former epidemic, believes it is well worth while to try the experiment. It would cost nothing, or very little. Perhaps a few drenching rain storms would-serve as well. But we cannot be sure of their coming: and we have the water and the facilities for applying it And we have a very efficient police force that could enforce strictly the ordinance against spitting on the sidewalks, 'j .'. i , I PASTY POLITICAL ETHICS In order for oar brains and Tianris to accomplish the most in the least uossible time, we must all be able to, make use of our eyes to the fullest capacity to see everything clearly and without encumbrance or waste of time. Efficiency has no patience with the wearer of two pairs of glasses which require constant shifting to see near or far objects as the case may be. It does not recognize the wearing of reading glasses which have to be continually removed and replaced. It casts aside the old-style bifocals which necessitate fre quent repair and which blur the eyes with seams or humps. It maintains that, when you need double vision glasses, the only way to completely overcome these difficulties and to con serve your eyesight, is to wear Kryptok Glasses. Kryptoks have the necessary powers for perfect near and far sight invisibly combined in one pair of solid crystal-clear lenses absolutely smopth to the finger's touch. Because of the total absence of seams jar humps, Kryptoks have the appearance of being single vision. This feature over comes the dread that many people have of wearing bifocals. Our Kryptok lenses as well as our other lenses are ground in our own plant, the only lense grinding plant in Salem, P. S. Mr. Howard E. Misener, the best lense grinder and shop man on the Pacific coast is foreman of our plant. v HENRY L MORRIS & CO.

We know no better bargain.

Daniel J. Fry and J4 C. Perry THE ORIGIN' OF WOMAX. A magazine writer consumes con siderable space in trying to prove that It is wrong to teach that woman was made from Adam's rib. He says the proposition Is ridiculous, and while it may have been well enough to teach it In the dim and distant past, we ought to be ashamed of ourselves for sticking to the "super stition," If our own idea or belief of the origin of woman is a superstition. then it ts Quite as good a superstition as other people have. For ours Is not the only theory of the origin of woman. Many other people have many other theories or superstitions.

Edgar Guest sums up the whole question in the following lines: He has not served who gathers gold. Nor has he served whose life is told In selfish battles he has won. Or deeds of skill that he has done. But he has served who now and then Has helped along his fellow men. This old world needs more men to day; Red-blooded men along life's way. With cheerful smiles and helping hands And with the faith that understands The beauty of the simple deed Which serves another's hour of need. Strong men to stand beside the weak. Kind men to hear what others speak. True men to keep our country's laws And guard its honor and Its cause: Men who will bravely play life's game Nor ask rewards of gold or fame. Teach me to do the best I can To help and cheer our fellow man; Teach me to lose my selfish need And glory in the larger deed Which smooths the road and rights the day For all who chance to come my way.
