For Salem four days of relief from . politics and economics, old age pensions, doles, vetoes, muni cipal water, delinquent taxes, next wars. The tournament illustrates the vital necessity of sport and recreation in a weary world. Even when participation is vicarious as at most exhibitions, the virtue for the spec tator is apparent.

We wondered how Oregon could be overlooked as long as It was by the Utopians, inc., another southern California political avo cado offered, at the customary membership fee, to effect more salva tion for a public which has already worn out the sawdust trail to ialse altars.

LA cwr&i r - v ... Health By Royal S. Copeland, MJX NOWADAYS ONE seldom hears of gout This annoying affliction was at one time prevalent, especially In England and the United States. But - within the past Quarter of a cen tury the disease has greatly di minished. This can be attributed. In part at least, to our better un der standing of food, nutrition and the preven tion of a good many constitu tional disorders. Gout appears to run In rami Ilea For this rea son it may well Dr. Copeland be that the ten dency is really influenced by heredity. There is no doubt that some persons are decidedly more susceptible to gout than others. This has given rise to the expression "gouty", ap plied to the unfortunate victim of the tendency. Severe Pains The victim of gout complains of severe and excruciating pain In one or another of his joints. Any joint may be involved. Recently a doctor friend of mine had it In his knee. But, as a rule, it Is the big toe that is most likely to be affected. The sufferer experiences a sense of discomfort during the night, perhaps, but the severe pain comes on sud denly. The Joint becomes red, swol len, hot and extremely painful. The pain Is Increased by the slightest pressure or movement. Sudden Jar ring makes it excruciating. The vic tim may also complain of fever, thirst, nausea, vomiting and other digestive disturbances. In former years gout was looked upon as an incurable disease. To day It can be completely overcome by careful regulation of the diet Since the disease can be traced to a deposit of uric acid In the system, ft con be controlled by the -emission of foods rich In uric add and "purines". Yonr doctor will tell you about' the Utter. Avoid Meats AH meats, meat extracts, bouillon, sweet-breads, kidneys and other so called giblets must be avoided. Ex cessive indulgence In starchy food, fried and greasy food, coffee, tea and alcoholic beverages la prohibited., Do not confuse gout with rheuma tism or neuritis. Gout Is character ized by sudden, severs pain iu one of the Joints of the body. The attacks come-on at periodic intervals, When In doubt consult with your doctor. To confirm the diagnosis tt may be necessary for him to resort to special tests of blood add urine. Once the diagnosis Is established, the proper measures can be taken for re lief and cure. Home remedies may be of value in lessening the pain and discomfort, but they are quite un likely te effect a cure. Amswsrs to Health Qneriae Mrs. J. M. Q.

Now where has that Japanese Bits for Breakfast By R. J. HENDRICKS A beautiful tribute to Oregon's first printer: (Continuing from yesterday:) "Driving past several large mounds within the city limits, one of which had been utilized for a mount for water works, the party first called a halt at the base of one known as the Big Mound, which we found to be more than 30 feet high and 150 feet long, gradually tapering to a level walkway six feet wide on the sum mit. From this mound, continuing in a northerly direction, were many groups of tumuli in close proximity stretching along the river bluffs for several miles. "Who were the builders of those large, enduring monuments of clay? More than a hundred generations, we are told, have liv ed and like autumn leaves return ed to mother earth since first the dark shadows of old Egypt's pyr amids were reflected by the annu al inundations of the Nile. Bat where is the savant or medium who can tell us In what age of the world, or the story of the people who reared those mighty earth works of American antiquity? How vain the attempt to solve the mystery that enshrouds a race who only to themselves were known and who, for untold cen turies, have ceased to breathe the breath of life. Like all the tribes of men who lived in the primitive ages of .the race, they left no trace of their former existence more legible than those wonder beget ting tamuli which they reared throughout the central valleys of their ocean bound home. Peopled as were all other lands, yet even the existence of this mighty con tinent remained unknown to the inspired or any other writers for countless ages after those mound builders had flourished, died and ' were buried beneath accumulated centuries, whose number can nev er be known. 'Ye mouldering relics of a race departed. Your names have perished; not a trace remains; Save where the grass grown mound its summit rears From the green bosom of your native plains.' . "I will not further trespass upon the patience of the reader, in this connection, than to say: For more than half a century, after the founding of St. Louis, the Ca tholic faith prevailed almost ex clusively, and, down to the time of which I write, many of the pub lic and benevolent institutions of the city were under the control of that church, while among her worthy and most opulent citizens were numbered the Soulards, Ca bennes, . Menards, Sprays, Pratts, Chouteaus and many other prom inent French Canadian families, aU of whom were well known to Oregon's mountain men and many of her earlier pioneers. "Here in this old French city. built upon the ancient remains of aa unknown-people, forty years ago, I first grasped the open,, gen erous hand of M. O. Foisy, in whom thenceforward through -aU the years that be lived I found a tme,unwavering friend. this year; groundhog day and current shifted tor "Medare G. Foisy was born ia Quebec, Canada, in 1816; died on his French Prairie farm June 11, 1879. He descended from an old and highly respected family of that Gibraltar of the new world. His father was a leather dealer in affluent circumstances, and gave his son a practical business education in the French schools of his native town. At the age of 16 he was sent for a short time to an English school in the state of Vermont. It was his father's wish that his son should learn the tan ning and' leather business in which he had prospered. Accord ingly young Foisy was for 18 months kept at work in the tan nery and Etore, neither of which proved congenial to his taste. "His mind was intent on learn ing the printing business, and at the age of 18 he was apprenticed to the trade. The business of the office was conducted excluslveiy in the French vernacular, while he longed for an opportunity to improve his English, and, having a friend and townsman at work on the Louisville Journal at the falls of the Ohio, accordingly on attaining his majority and receiv ing from his father a small sum of money he crossed the border in the spring of 1837. went to Cin cinnati, Ohio, where he worked for a short time; then joined his friend at Louisville, working for two months in the Journal office, and from there in the fall of the same year went to St. Louis, and entered into an engagement with his life long friend, Mr. Chambers, editor of the Republican, with whom he remained until the close of 1843, when he surrendered his case to prepare for the overland Journey to Oregon. U S "Father Joset with two other Jesuit fathers left St. Louts early in the spring of 1844 for the Rocky mountains. With this nar- ty -Mr. Foisy traveled to the Flat- Head country, and from there to Mr. Spalding's Nes Perce mission at Lapwal. . "There, in the fall of 1844. ha was engaged by Mr. Scalding to put In working order the little printing press, the nloneer of the North- Pacific coast, on which he did the first printing for the Nes Perce mission, consisting of school books, portions of the New Testament and hymns, all In the Nes Perce language, from copy by Mr. Spalding. This was the first printing performed by a practical printer west of the Rocky moun tains and north of the Mexican re public. "The Oresron Sneetatnr ffrat an. peered' in February, 1846. and Sam Bxanaan's little proselyting Yerba Buena Star was first seen in the village of "Yerba Buena. as San. Francisco was then called. nearly two years later. It is common-for such brilliant little luminaries to be short lived, but. contrary to the usual fatal cause, it is the only one of which I ever 'heard that died of a sur feit of gold. "Mr. Foiar reached French Prairie in December, 1844, and the following -soring was elected a xnember of the legislative com mittee from Champoeg (now Mar ion-) county, which convened at Oregon City June 24, 1845. "It was at this session that the amended -erganfe law was drawn upland passed, authorizing the election Of a governor Instead of the old executive committee." - (Continued tomorrow.) .

Homer said at that "You're just the bestest husband a woman ever had!" ahe told him and kissed him exactly as Homer wanted to be kissed. "I adore them. Thank you a thousand times. I never really expected you to give me a string of pearls.
