THE HOME IN 1Z0. -v-v r-- j ... WE BELIEVE IN DOCTORS We believe that every man when he is sick should call a doc tor, and not try to "doctor" himself. Wc believe there would be far less sickness far better health if everybody would do everything possible to co operate with doctors in taking better care of their health. We believe that the best way, always, is to have a doctor see what the matter is, and write a prescrip tion for it, nnd then have a reliable druggist prepare the medicine according to the prescription. !- -.- Prescriptions our Speoialty.

One meeting of tho Eastern Oregon assessor, called at tho Instance of the O. It. & N. tax agent, for the purpose of discussing railroad property values failed to materialize. Another meeting Is now called, to bo hold at Arlington, nuxt Thursday. for the same purpose. For tho llrst time In the history of Oregon, rallroad3, their property is being assessed tills year, In Umatilla county, on a basis determined by their earning capacity, Just as tho farm lands and livestock of tho county aro assessed. Heretofore, assessors have stood aghast nt tho complicated array of liabilities and resources presented by tho paid tax agents of tho com panies. No effort lias been juade to. nrrlvo at a Just and equitable basis of valuation for tho lenson that all tho statements of the company's tax and land agents have been con-' sldered unanswerable. Tho result lias been that the farm lands, mer chandise, livestock nnd real estate or Umatilla county paid an unjust and unequal share of tho county's tax. ' Tho levy has climbed up and up and tho small property owner lias paid uio bill. This year, follow lug a program de termined oven lieforo his election, Assessor Strain has made a tireless search among the records of tho In terstate commorco couunlss bin. nml iNot In a centurv havo tlm ruin. has reached a basis of valuation "uus l,ctween tho people and the gov .Vd upon the sworn reports of tho ; Z'L K ompanj.

Portland Is toying with a dangerous force when she tries to crush tho la bor unions. She can lit nfford to arouse the indignation of her labor ' Ing men by refusal to listen to their Just demands. She can 111 afford to 1 1 turn the worklngmen against the I.owls and Clark Fair, for tills is not a Portland enterprise, and tta failure would effect the entire Norshwest, very seriously. A few of the large contraetois of the city seem to be inclined to ret i fiK nhanllltn illfliitntu hi tlm Inlmi- flit. nation. Thcio seems to be a iloterm limtlon to heep down wages during the preparations for the Ian. Whil the contractors anticipate very busy and prosperous times for the next two yeais, they arc unwilling to share tho piosperity with the workmen. The worklngmen declare that the cost of living Is constantly advancing and that tliu fair will be an absolute . Injury to them unless their wages aro I advanced. They sny that there Is a constant advance In iciits and this expense will largely lnciease during the piogress of tho fair, owing to the acute demand for houses, and that It will he Impossible for them to remain , In Portland, under the present wage ! rates. i Even now, there is an inclination . among the labor unions to ask for a ; lefcrenduni vutu on the npproprla tlun. ir Portland thoroughly arouses I the labor forces of tho state itsulnst I the fair, by her unjust treatment, the fair appropriation will be jeopard! ed. There aro now many nutoganlH- tie forces which would readily unite with tho unions to defeat the fair. Portland is walking on danger jw gioiind. Hhe should make ovory rea sonable effort to settle her labor troubles, not so much lor her own sake, but for the reason that she- stands sponsor for tho entire Pacific Nortwest, on the fair question, and must render an able stewardship. Tho mistress of tho homo In 1925 will ho a cheralsf. She will be a trained scientist. She will regard her kitchen as a laboratory in which a thousand wonderful experiments will be tried. Tho Idea that tho kitchen is n place of drudgery, where only those outer who aro forced by cir cumstances', will have disappeared; and there will renlaln only wonder that any one could ever have been Ig norant enough of the mnrvoious pro cesses of science to have taken so lit tle Interest in tho subject. The kltcl.cn itself will disappear from the basement and from the home forever. In its place, adjoining the dining room, so that tho transit from tho fire to tho table may occupy but a second's time, will bo the "House hold Laboratory." The mistress of the house and her daughters will find no more Interesting period of the day than that which Is spent in the wolMlghtod, well-ventilated, cleanly and comfortably arranged room given up to the constant surprises which ixienco offers to those who will study with Interest hor wonders in the realm of combinations uf food materials unci tho transformations brought nbout by varying degrees of heat.
