1 After Prohibition t
TTtHERE is no mistakincr the DODular verdict on the dues
JL! tion of prohibition. Repeal of the 18th amendment was
on&'issue which drew many votes to Roosevelt: and the de
feat of many former "dry" senators and congressmen indi
cas that some form of repeal measure will be submitted to
th states for ratification. The popular vote here in Oregon
rri&ihe repeal of the Anderson act is another sign that
thcountry is ready for a change of policy in the handling
of pie liquor question. The defeats are crushing for the dries
on iiioth the local and the national fronts.
$ The question now shifts to this : what will the wets do
xrim their victory? They have done lip.-service to "true tem
peBSnce". They hve dfcried the return of the saloons. Even

territory. But no one has written the formula. No one has

The first response to the Mace
donian call of the Indiana of the
westernmost west was by the
Methodist missionary society In
1834, when Jason Lee and hie
party came and began, Oct. 8, the
erection of their first rude log
cabin 10 miles below the site of
Salem.
Next to respond were the Amer
ican Board missionaries, Rev.
Samuel Parker and Dr. Marcus
Whitman starting and proceeding
in 182 S as far as the rendezvous
of that year on Green River, near
where Fort Brldger was after
ward built. There Dr. Whitman
turned back to seek reinforce
ments and Rev. Parker came on
to choose mission sites. The fol
lowing year Dr. Whitman and
Rev. H. H. Spalding and their
brides and W. H. Gray came, and
established missions at Walilatpa
and Lapwal.

At that time the American
Board of Foreign Missions repre

churches, afterwards and sine

Daily Health Talks

T some time or other every
one of us suffers from head
ache. I can think of no
other minor ailment that causes so
much discomfort, or is so annoying
and often dim
cult to cure.
Some persons
are susceptible
to headache,
while others are
rarely, if ever,
sufferers from
it. A definite
as of head
s' found ia
some families is
known as, "mi
graine," and
this is believed
to be hereditary.
torn of some disturbance of the body.
It may follow an irritation of the
nerves of the face or head, or it may
be caused by anemia, high blood
pressure, kidney disease, sinusitis
or defective eyesight. Constipation,
digestive disturbances, faulty pos
ture in walking or axandinc. and
uterine diseases in women, are other
causes of headache.
It ia interesting to note that head
ache was aptly described by the
ancient Greeks. Headaches . were
believed to be due to evil snirits
within the head, and the ancients
treated them by boring small holes
in the skull so that the "spirits"
might escape and no longer tor
ment the afflicted individual.
Reeurrine attacks of neadaefce
can be cured only when the under
lying cause is determined, but -in
many instances this is difficult. All
sufferers from chronic headache
should consult with their physicians
rather than resort to home reme
dies. A complete physical examine-'
tion, including urinalysis, ia advised
ia every such case.
The diet is important It should
be simple and wholesome. Salts.
peppers, spices and condiments
should not be taken. Avoid all fried
and greasy foods. Drink plenty of
water ;
Constipation Is a frequent and
often neglected cause of headache.
When bowel or kidney elimination
is faulty, the excess of poisons ia
absorbed into the system. Correc
tion must be made before relief csa
be expected.
Headache and eye-strain can be
traced to improper eye-glasses ot
the lack of glasses. If younave been
advised to wear glasses, do not im
pair your health by refusing; . te
wear them. . i .
I nave often overheard persons
attribute their headaches to faulty
eyesight, yet I wonder how many of
them wear the necessary glassea.
It really ia a shame that we are
so sensitive about spectacles. They
are not so bad, after all. If el
ciency is decreased by reason of
eye-strain, are we. not foolish te
spurn them? Why coatiane to have
headaches If they are so simply

that was on the site of Portland.
The Oregon City church at that
time had only eight members.
Rev, Geo. H. Atkinson, sent as a
Congregational missionary i n
1847, preached the first time in
Portland in 1849, in a log house
used as a shingle factory. His con
gregation raised 82000 and built
a school house, to be at the ser
vice of all denominations for re
ligious services; Congregational
members to preach every two
weeks. When Rev. Lyman arrived,
he began teaching and preaching
In this school house. The town
proprietors offered him a lot, and
he chose it in the forest at the
then end of Second street; se
cured subscriptions aggregating
IS 000, and began the erection of
a church bunding 32 by 48. Rev.
Lyman himself worked on the
Duuaing, Decame sick witn over
exertion, and others came to his
aid and the structure was dedl

bers organized the First Congre
gational church of Portland. In
1850, only about 50 members
were in the Congregational
churches of Oregon 25 at Tuala
