EIGHT PAGES. DAILY EAST OREGONIAN. PENDLETON. OREGON. Tl'KSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1908. PAGES TDBXE JUDGE LOWELL S ADDRESS AT BOISE IRRIGATION CONGRESS Judge Stephen A, Lowoll of this city, president of the Oregon Irriga tion association, and one of the lead ing irrigation advocates and thinkers of the west, was one of the principal speakers at the IrrlgiUlon 'congrcBa at Boise today, and this afternoon deliv ered an address on the subject, "A Social Phase of the Irrigation Move ment," as follows: The social questions of our time are multifarious and complex, but they find their source in the same initial causes which have troubled the race In all Us history, and in the compre hensive irrigation propaganda of the opening century is manifest an exalt ed appreciation of the truth that the supreme goal of the ages Is yet un reached the assurance to every man a comfortable home, sufficient food and the essentials of human happi ness. With these ends accomplished the concomitant problems of sociology w'll find their own solution. Dimly was this reaped when from the common homo of the Aryan family on the steppes of Central Asia the dispersion began. Man's ambitions are always relative and his contentment Is In the ratio of their consummation. There fore, to our siivnge progenitors a larger hut and a more prolific hunting field marks the acme of achievement, but Increasing numbers and uncross able seas finally ended the old world nomadic life and compelled the gene sis of agriculture In a second attempt to solve the kaleidoscopic problem. Attrition and experience brightened intellects, while necessity invoked ex periment, nnd in an effort to supply the Increasing demand for food the soil was tilled and wild animals do mesticated. Thus began to germinate seeds of civilization, for the products of human labor required protection nnd a semblance of government founded upon unwritten law was born. The clans nnd tribes have grown Into nations,, but they still exist for the same . purposes and are still - founded upon the same prlncl- dIcs. leavened In some degree by a widening vision and precepts of the prophets of a religion of mercy. Increasing Intelligence nnd the spur of ambition soon transforms the lux ury of todny Into the necessity of to morrow, nnd t thiid solution of this Increasing problem was sought In the beginnings of science and mechanic's arts. Whence came navigation nnd consequent commerce nnd colonization which In nil the centuries have been but unwitting groping for an elusive uonl? America. Africa, and the In ways be unquestioned; the latter should never be permitted. There was a vogue grasp upon this truth when the federal homestead law en acted. Its faults consisted In fixing the larm limit too large and In fail ure to hedge It with- restrictions as to alienation and Individual or corpor ate holdings. In the stress of commercial activity the rapid and astounding growth of transportation lines, the building of great factories which has character ized this era of stool there has been an unnatural and unsymmetrlcal de velopment In both the old world and the new. Favoritism in rates, the long haul and the terminal point chimera have tended to concentrate men, money and amchlnery Into a few great cities where vice triumphs and men decay, where landlordism and enormous private wealth wax" and In dependence wanes. The Drift to the Cities. ' This abnormal condition in the business world, coupled with an as tigmatic land policy and lax enforce ment of law likewise ushered In an era of bonanza farming and a Bystem of feuydal ranges and Imperial tim ber holdings which, long continued, can be but a splendid curse and a presage of revolution. The farming communities of the east, once flour ishing, have deteriorated because of the drift of the younger generations to the cities, while those of the west are closed to men of moderate means because of the expanse of territory held by vast corporate and private In terests to await the unearned Incre ment Relief In Irrigation. The old methods of relief are gone. Westward no longer can empire trend, for the ultimate ocean has now been reached; northward and southward unrest will drive mankind for a sea son to find new lands and found new civilizations, but discovery and Inven tion are filling the earth with untried conditions summoning the best In man to meet. The successes of surgery and medi cine, the cessation of disastrous and long continued wars, the Intelligent avoidance of famine and pestilence, all moon a rapid Increase of the world's population, and a new search for the solution of this problem which has colored and moulded civilization of every age and clime, and the only solution now visible Is In the Irriga tion movement which Is at once the protagonist of the home nnd the an tagonist of monopoly, for Its history has demonstrated that under Its sway r Franklin oa Catehlos Cold. It 1 well known, says the New York Evening Post, that Franklin made a particular study of colds and bad his own theory about them, which we be lieve Is pretty much the theory of to day. One of bis assertions was that catching cold does not come from mere cold, but from unequal temperature over the body and from undistributed moisture. To prove this be made a number of observations on occasions when be did and did not suffer. A few of these follow: By putting on a damp shirt on a dry body yes. ' By putting on a dry shirt on a wet body, though this wets the body ten times more no. By sitting in a room where the floor has been newly washed yes. By going Into a river and staying there an hour (no sheets so wet) no. By wetting the feet only yes. By wetting all the clothes through the body and wearing them a whole day no. By sitting In a room against a crevice yes. By sitting as long In the open air-no. Bow Cyanide Was Discovered. Bcbeele In 1783 laid the foundations for the manufacture of cyanide of po tassium. With prusslnte of potash for Its base, dried animal matter of any nd all kluds was dumped Into the su perheated vessels containing the pot ash, together with iron filings and bor ings. A stonelike black mass resulted from the cooling, and other processes brought the final lemon colored crys tals which resulted from evaporations of the solutions. From these crystals pmsslc acid was evolved, of which a 2 per cent solution is the pharmaceu tical preparation, yet so powerful that four drops will kill a large dog. A chemist, putting a cyanide solution in gold lined dish In 1844, discovered that the gold was dissolved In the liquid. This was the beginning of the gold plating process by the use of cya nide and the further Involvement of the poison came about in electroplat ing, In photography and In treating re fractory gold ores.

Irrigation for tlio Knst. In a generation the notion that Ir rigation has place only In the arid country will pass away, nnd in sec tions of normal rainfall It will bo utilized In periods of drought to dou ble and treble crop production. That this Is possible has been demonstrated nbunilnntly by the market gardeners In proximity to the grcnt cities of the enst. nnd its truth under a compre hensive campaign of educntlon will change the system of agriculture east ward to the Atlantic const, where the beneficent reclamation act of the fed eral government will be acclaimed as the restoration net, for well may It lie so extended ns to Include nil the ft:iic "id thus serve to re-populate nhii'i !" i- 1 farms nnd wipe nway the want nnd suffering of crowded cities, for the battle cry of the social future will be, "Hack to the farm."

Wo notice that some of tho most eminent physicians of this 'country umi Kuropc who have made a study of tlio process of digestion utiKu in tlio opin ion Hint a keen appetite is a great aid to proper digestion. Sotno even go su far as to say that there mast lie a good sharp appetite for the food ealcn In onler that It lie properly digested and assimilated. Pr. J. 1. Pawlow'a cssav on "The Work of the lllgestlvo CI lands," which was awarded the Nobel prise, sets forth very ck'urly the value of appetite. There is no outer sucn sain sure means for creating a healthy appetite lis I'altst Illlln ltlhhon lleer taken be fore or wltli your meals, und It Is an almost nlisolnte giiaraatco of perfect digestion, while Its tonic and food value cannot be overest Imnted. lir. Joseph Kelsler, of the North western University of Chicago, In com menting upon this said: "I fully be lieve that the moderate uso of good beer at meal times acts as a tonic und Is therefore useful." lir. Kelsler stands nt the head of his profession nnd his words must carry f treat weight with those seeking lealth. 1'alist Bluo Ribbon Is such a beer as Pr. Kelsler rocommends. It is a prod uct of eight-day malt, choicest hops und pure water. Tabst elght-dny malt contains nil the valuable food elements of the hnrley In predlgested form. It gives Pnbst Beer lis rich nutrition and the flno mellow flavor which distin guishes It from other beer. This, to gether with sixty yonrs of scientific brewing, Is what has put Pnbst Beer so far I" the lend.

The finger should be plunged Into water as hot ns can pos sibly be borne. This application of hot water causes the nail to expand and soften, and the blood pourlug out beneath it has more room to flow. Thus 1 the pain is lessoned. The finger should then be wrapped In n bread and water poultice.
