A will have a summer camp at Lost Creek ranch above McKenzie Bridge beginning August 1, after the boys' camp is over, according to announcement of E. A. Britton, physical director of the associa tion. He says that other women than members of the association will be invited to participate If they desire. The same equipment used by the boys will be left at the camp for the women, says Britton, and It is probable that the same hikes and about the same program was outlined for the boys will be car ried out by the women. Britton says that by the time the boys begin their first camp June 15 the snow around Lost Lake and other localities for miles about will have disappeared. He was up there last Sunday and found but little snow. Smith Tay lor and George Moody came over the summit a short time ago and I., . ir.i.llv Teport that me snow ( Bielting. Copy of Paper Published In 1886 Is Found An old copy of The Corvallis Chronicle of November 5, 1X8G was announced recently by Mrs. O. A. Wilson of this city in the course of a house cleaning. In the back of an old family por trait it had remained for years and was found only when the picture was removed from its original frame. Interesting comparisons can be made with today's price from a naIr iifivi-rtiKeinent of Kaln- ton Cox. general merchandise, who announced a reduction in the par .ir...inr Issue. Representative follows: Corvallis flour, per sack, 80 cents; sugar 19 pounds, 1; Hlce, 18 pounds, lj coffee (best) Costa Hice, 7 pounds, 1 Soap, per box, 95 rpnts. An.thnr intnrHKtine item that appears In the columns is a quo tation from a current Oregonian: "There is some danger that the town of Corvallis, in Benton county, through a change in the channel of the Willamette river, will be left a mile or more Inland. This danger is not immediate, and fortunately it is of a kind which may be averted." It goes on to urge the people of that section to endeavor to stop a cut off which the river often took in the time of high water. The copy of the paper will be forwarded to Corvallis, where the successors have requested that It be sent.

There Is "Jack," the huge St. Bernard, "Cuffy", the beautiful Newfoundland, "Caesar," the clever rascal. "Rover." the doctor and also his Eskimo dogs. Each and every dog's traits of Ch-iracter are as different as hu D.an beings and one marvels at the Intelligence of the creatures. Th's Is a very entertaining book hnmorous in places, and bringing t;T one who reads it to the reall tatlon that a dog Is not merely Ju:it a dog but that each and every or.e hes a sould and with the propr training and affection can be made a noble animal Indeed.

Women Are Healthier In School Increased Weight Is Followed by Better Scholastic Work In Subjects University of Oregon, Eugene, june 4. The women students of the University of Oregon have in creased in weight, in health, and, as a consequence, in scholarship, by following out the program of Dr. Bertha Stuart Dyment, Uni versity health physician. "Col lege girls need more food than their parents, because they are still growing, and because they are more active," she says. "The vitamines and other growth stimulating properties are found especially in green veget ables and milk and eggs, and but ter," she explains. "Therefore green vegeiaoies unu uuuci, umnj and eggs should torni a part oi the daily dietary; meat once a day is probably entirely sufficient. "Breakfast, instead of consist ing of a piece of toast a cup of coffee, or a piece of toast eaten on the - run to an eight oclock, should be a 'sit down at the table meal,' with time to eat, and should be made up" of fruit, a cooked cereal, toast, mil, butter, eggs. "A thin soup, hot biscuits ana jelly are not enough for a lunch eon for a normal or underweig.it person. A thick soup, a main dish of rice and cheese or macaroni, or, egg souffle, with a vegetable, or a salad, a real salad, and a dessert of fruit or custard, or custard puddings, and a glass of milk. "Nor is meat and potato and pie enough for dinner; two other vegetables or one other and a good salad should be added; and, there are more nourishing desserts than pie. "Rice and potatoes, nor macar oni and potatoes, nor macaroni and rice should not be served at the same meal." "Better health, better scholar ship," she adds, and this she has proved in hundreds of cases. 167 To Be Graduated at State University University of Oregon, Kugene, June 1.
