LXsease in War Probxbly few others than med ical observers realize fully the part disease is playing during the present world war, and will continue to play, when the war is done, by reason of the indis positions brought about by war's streses. Although the medical military service is probably more perfected than in previous con flicts, yet several men are dying of ilisease to one slain by ord nance. Infection has indeed modified the course of all, and has abruptly terminated some wars. Campaigns which should by all military prognostications have succeeded, have failed be cause cholera, plague, typhoid, typhus, small-pox, malaria, dys entery, and yellow fever have cheated idiot and shell ,of their victims. Montgomery and Ar nold were not successful in inva ding Canada because too few were left for the assault when small-pox ami dysentery had ta ken their quota. Napoleon in 1 S ( i wanted to found an empire in our South, und could not be cause the San Domingo epidem ics outgeneraled him, destroying l't,(K)() of his fine army. In our Mexican war less than 1,000 were killed or died of wounds, while nearly five thousand suc cumbed to the bacterial bullet. The Iiritish in the Crimea lost twenty-five men from disease to one from woujids. In the Franco-Prussian war Dazaine's great army, if it had not surrendered at Metz, must have succumbed utterly to disease and starvation, while literally one half the in vesting Germans, with every thing in their favor, were on the sick list. In the brief war with Spain, our dead from sickness were seven times more numerous than from injury. In the Balkan war of several years ago the Bul garian campaign broke down largely because of epidemics. There were 30,000 cases of chol era in one day. Here was a more fatal factor than the Turk ish resistance in checking the Ilulgars at Chatalja. And war's aftermath. The unusual physical stresses of war, and the enduring effect of its horrors upon the psychism, pre dispose to degenerations and or ganic diseases. Wherefore there is in the few years after every war unusual slvkness and un timely 4twt4 among the su- vivw.s, bowk anemia, debility. , livwt, kftwt, kidney and other . , Tuberculosis lias long ...WHsed itself in its insidious A milign way, in the world's He armies. Many enlisted mj;i have this disease latent in f them, either to burst forth under the strains of campaigning, or to appear soon after the exhaust ing warfare is ended. Thus, when one computes the awful life destruction in war's carnage, : The Oregon State Grange, re 'ceiitly in session at Tillamook, adopted a resofution in favor of the one-body legislature. The type of lawmaking bodies of which the Grangers approve would consist of fifteen members in session continuously. Wheth er the Grange's idea of a fifteen man house working the year round, will meet with general favor, is extremely doubtful. But a proposition to have the legisla ture get busy for about six weeks repealing all the surplus laws it could, would probably carry with a large popular vote. Ontario Democrat. 1 O H " V. ml War and Courage Military people know little more than the unmilitary about the limitations of human cour-, age, the capacity of human crea-' tures to endure. A few months ago-, there were, many men connected with arm ies and navies who sincerely be lieved that science had made war too terrible to be fought. The! weapon were so deadly, explo- sives so .destructive,- that nations! could not bring themselves to use them in earnest, nor could sol diers and sailors be found who would fight under the conditions that modern war imposed. The battleships, mighty guns, enor mous organizations, airships and aeroplanes these, according to the argument, made war impos sible. None argued it more firm ly than military men. But they did not know. They had no true understanding of the limitless courage which a man possesses. They had no re alization of what hardships and terrors a man may school him self to endure. If war is ever made impossible it will probably never be because man's ingenuity is greater than us fortitude.

Monmouth, Oregon oHcnocDlK AMERICANS NO LONGER LOVE TO BE HUMBUGGED They W.nt Value Received in Thing. Advertited; Doctor. Will "Come to" Publicity, Say. Marthall Dan University of Oregon. Euirene. June5.-The dollars and cents value of truth in advertising was hammered home to a State Uni-! versity audience by Marshall N. j Dana, of the staff of the! Oregon Journal, Portland, in i a lecture on Advertising Ethics' that closed theadvertisingcourse at the University for this college year. "The ideal of today refutes the saying of Barnum that the American public wants to be buncoed," said Mr. Dana. "The alert American mind seeks that which stirs the imagination and attracts the fancy, but it wants value received." Mr. Dana, in addition to belip v. ing in rigid accuracy in advertis ing, is an ardent apostle of the value of advertising for all com modities and services. Rethinks even the ethical physician should not be above advertising. "The time will come when the higher standard of truth in ad. vertising will destroy the so called ethical positions of physi cians in respect to publicity." hp said.
