ROOSEVELT AS SENATOR.
A great amount of energy has
been used to convince President
Roosevelt that he should accept
the nomination for republican
candidate.for the next president.
Tha Junior Sena' or from Oregon
has devoted much attention to
this subject, making his efforts
corspicious and yet not con
vincing to the President. The
President has indicated that
if his public service is needed be
prefers to become United States
Senator rather than again suc
ceed himself to the presidency.
The unusual acitivity put forth
to persuade Mr. Roosevelt to
again become president proceeds
from the idea that only one man
in the United States is fitted for
the position. The President, how
ever, is aware that when occasion
demands there is always a man
to be found qualified to perform
the duties of the occasion. Mr.
Roosevelt is a man of strong
personal convictions and deter
mined in his purpose of carrying
them out. Having repeatedly
declared his purpose not to ac
cept the nomination of his party
for the presidential race near at
hand, he will no doubt insist up
on having his way. Having de
clared his consent to become
United States senator instead of
president, he no doubt has in
mind plans how he can best
serve the people.
A long time has passed away
since the Senate has had a lead
er along the lines and with the
energy pursued by the presi
dent. With a president elect
ed who. would, carry out the
policies pursued by President
Roosevelt, and with Roosevelt
in the Senate as a leader of that
body, actively pursuing the same
line of action, would certainly
accomplish results more speedi
ly than has usually occurred in
the senate. If Mr. Roosevelt
should be elected to the senate
it will be interesting to observe
whether that body will insist in
his case of carrying out its time
honored tradition of requiring a
senator during his first term to
remain quiet and listen to the
older members for a time.
CORVALLIS.
Corvallis is a splendid country
city surrounded with beautiful
scenery, blessed with a climate
unsurpassed, having the best
mountain water system flowing
direct from the foot of Mary's
Peak, a good sewerage system
and all other facilities necessary
to insure the healthiest town to
be found anywhere. The State
Agricultural College with about
one thousand students in attend
ance and a first-class graded pub
lie school system makes this the
leading educational town of the
northwest. Surrounding the
town and throughout the country
are fine farms with highly pro
ductive soil, where sheep, cattle
horses and all other domestic sn
mals of superior quality grow
and flourish. This beautiful little
city centrally located in the Wil
lamette Valley, the garden spot
of the northwest, is one of the
oldest towns in the valley.
The splendid school facilities
maintained here attract many
people to this locality from differ
ent parts of this and other States
and a few from foreign countries
who come for the purpose ofi
obtaining the superior advanta-1
ges afforded by the thorough and
complete school system.
Some of the finest classes of
stock are raised in the county.
The technical subjects taught at
the Agricultural College alorg
the lines of improved methods of
farming encourage not only the
farmers on the surrounding
farms, but also throughout the
state to raise better classes of
stock and improve in their farming.
I PROHIBITION GROWING.
The Associated Press dispatch
says that from figures in the pos
wjsslon ot prohibition head
quarters at Washington it is esti
mated that ? 33,600,000 of. the
eighty odd million inhabitants 'cf
the United States no?? live in
communitie.s in which the law'
does not parmic the sale of alco
holic beverages. - In other words,
more than one-third of all the
inhabitants of the country can
hot buy liquor in their neighbor
hoods of licensed bars. In sever
al "dry" communities violation
of the law means penalties to
both themselves and the person
from whom they bought the
liquor. The liquor question was
in nearly every state campaign
closed by the election of last
Tuesday.
Prohibitionists are now pre
paring to force into the platforms
of both great parties in the next
year's campaign recognition of
the growing pohibition senti
ment. For this purpose the total
executive committee of the Pro
hibition party will meet in Chicago-November
20 to designate the
time and place for holding the
national convention ahead ' of
the republicans and demo
crats. It is proclaimed to be the inten
tion "of the temperance men to de
mand of the two great parties the
insertion of a plank in their re
spective platforms favoring the
enactment of laws that will pre
vent the shipment of liquor into
states that have adopted prohibi
tion. In the coming session of
congress, a bill carrying this pro-
v ision will be introduced. It
was presented in the last session
and was defeated.

householder, who is somewhat devout,
proceeded to ask a blessing. The deat
man, who sat next him, misunderstood
ths procedure and turning to his host,
inquired blandly : "Beg pardon, did you
speak to me?" The head of the bouse
answered, politely, in the negative, and
continued his pre-prandial supplication.
Again the man with detective bearing

NOTABLE MEDICAL DISCOVERY
Of Special Value to Many Here in
Corvallis.
One of the most notable discoveries and
one that undoubtedly appeals more than
anything else to many people here in
Corvallis is the combination et stomach
remedies in the Mi-o-na treatment. This
prescription has worked wonders, and
there is now no excuse for anyone suffer
ing with indigestion or weak stomach.
It acts specifically upon the muse'es of
the stomach and bowels, strengthening
and stimulating them so that they readily
take care of tbe food that is eaten. It al
so increases tbe flow of gastric juices,
thus getting from tbe food the nourish
ment .that is necessary for health and
energy.
Tbe symptoms of indigestion are num
erous, such as distress after eating flatu
lence, heart-burn, sick headaches, dizzL
aess, and irritability. These are all die
polled by a few doses of Mi-o-na when
the trouble is recent, but just as surely in
long standing and chronic cases if the
treatment is followed for a reasonable
length of time.
So positive are the good effects follow
ing the use of Mi-o-na that tbe remedy is
sold by Graham & Wells under an abso
lute guarantee ta refund the money if it
shauld fail to cure.
BETTER THAN MEDICINE.
Breathe Hyoraei's Tonic Healing
and be Cured of Catarrh.
Nature baa a remedy for catarrh, a
treatment that is far better than dosing
the stomach Kith medicine.
It is the healing oils and . balsams of
Hyomei which medicates the air you
breathe, reaching the most remote air
cells in the nose, throat and lungs, killing
all catarrhal germs, and restoring health
to the mucous membrane.
In nsing Hyomei you are treating your
catarrhal troubles with the only natural
remedy, for it gives a curative air batn to
tbe air passages that has as powerful
healing and antiseptic effect a that foui d
in the mountains where the pine forests
give off their fragrant and healing bal
sams. Breathe the invigorating and healing
Hyomei, and see haw quickly yon will
get relief from your catarrhal troubles.
Graham 5t Wells have seen so many
cures, even of thxe worst cases of catarrh,
with offensive breath, raising of mucus,
freqnent sneezing, droppings in the
throat and spasmodic coughing, that
(bey feel warranted in selling Hyomei
under an absolute guarantee to refund
the money if it does not do all that is
claimed for it. The take all the risk.

How He Would Go. " "
In connection with its account of
the international convention of
Zionists at The Hague a writer in a
German paper says: "The national
sentiment was adyocated by Stein
schneider in Prague in 1835 and
Moses Hess in France. In the fif
ties the story went the rounds of
the HiUropean papers to the effect
that Adolphe Cremieux had become
a convert to the Jewish state move
ment. He was asked one day by
Napoleon III. if he would go to
such a state if it were founded, and
he promptly answered, Tes, your
majesty, but only as the accredited
representative of France."''
Amusing Signs In Japan.
Major General Hoad, who was
the Australian officer attached to
the Japanese army during the war
with Russia, saw some amusing shop
signs in Tokyo "Head: Cutter" over
a barber's, "Extract of Fowls" over
an egg seller's and "Ladies Furnish
ed on the Upstairs" in front of a
draper's. He had a memorable
twenty-four hours' railway journey'
in a compartment crammed with
forty men, women and children. He
made a resolution not to fall asleep,
but he woke up in the morning to
find that "a patient little Japanese
lady had been supporting his head
on her shoulder."
Beautiful Mixed Metaphor.
- I think your readers may he in
terested in a mixed metaphor which
recently appeared in the Egyptian
Standard, the paper of Mustapha
Kamel Pasha. That paper says that
if the Whig element were dropped
out of the cabinet "a truly Eberal
wind might become the guiding
light of the foreign office, and the
introduction of a home rule bill for
Ireland might mean the beginning
of justice for Eypt." I think the
idea of a wind being a guiding light
is an example of mixed metaphor
which it will be hard to beat. Let
ter in London Spectator.
- He Waited.
Frau Mommsen, wictow of the Ro
man ' historian, bore the great his
torian sixteen children, of whom
twelve, six sons and six daughters,
are still living. Mommsen himself
was so self centered and. engrossed
with his ideas that he often passed
his offspring in the street without
recognizing them. One day a serv
ant burst into the study of the
great man with the announcement
of the birth of his fourteenth. "It
is a boy, Herr Professor." The pro
fessor turned, annoyed. "Tell him
to wait," he replied.
Holiday Fashions.
- There is a fashion in holiday re
sorts as in apparel, and there is lit
tle doubt that the tide of fashion is
setting strongly in favor of Holland.
Holland is the land of "round eye
wonder." There is nothing quite
like it in either hemisphere. Lon

Air Treatment For Keeping Clothing
Sweet Notes.
At least every two weeks in sum
mer and once a month in winter
the place where clothes hang should
be cleaned, but, strange to say, this
is comparatively rarely done. Yet
all garments worn soon get more or
less of an odor of the body, and add
ed to that there are those from the
street. Woolens, of course, are
more susceptible to this than are
cottons, but even the latter hold
unpleasant odors, and these must be
avoided.
I The fortnightly cleaning should
consist of taking out all the clothes,
including boots and shoes, if they
J are kept there. Each article should
be hung or spread about the room
I and before windows so that the air
will play around and through it.
7 This air hath should continue for
' two hours or more, and during that
time the wood within the closet
should be attended to. Allow the
i door to remain ODen. and wash the
paint with warm water in which
there is a little ammonia. Soap
will not be necessary except for the
floor.
Even better than ammonia is to
put a few drops of oil of lavender
in the water, for this is purifying
and will leave a sweet odor most
pleasant for the clothes to absorb.
Every inch of the wood and espe
cially the mop board and backing for
the hooks should be well gone over,
and the cloth may always be wrung
quite dry. It is not necessary to
soak the wood.
The Useful Lemon.
Lemons are very useful in health
and sickness. Hot lemonade is one
nf trip hpst remedies for an incipient
,old. It is also excellent in cases
f biliousness. For malaria trie
"Roman cure" is prepared by cut
ting the rind and pulp of a lemon
into a nint of water, then boiling
i until there is only half a pint. One
teaspoonful is tasen Deiore eacn
mpnl This has cured obstinate
leases when quinine failed. Lemon
sirup made by oaKing a lemon twen
ty minutes and then squeezing the
juice upon half a cupful of sugar is
excellent for hoarseness and to
break up a cold.
The Bedstead.
Every part of the bedstead should
be carefully dusted once a week.
The best time for this will general
ly be found to be before the bed is
made. In the day the room is thor
oughly cleaned.
" If the bedstead is of wood it is
advisable to have it washed over at
least once a year, and certainly after
illness of any kind with some disin
fectant, wood, especially the unpol
ished or unvarnished part, being
much more difficult to preserve in a
perfectly fresh condition than irns
To Get Rid of Onion Odor.
