A VALUABLE BOOK.
NOT long ago a young American -woman, went to Ger
many to visit her uncle a jeweler. He sold jewelry
to many Americans and had a little book in which he.
marked down each Bale articlo, price, name and address
' of purchaser nnd date. Ho died, and the young woman
took the book homo with her.
Eeaching America, she called on the customs men
" and showed thorn the book. They read with interest and
began tracing the s.Tles. Most of the purchasers, they
,; found, had smuggled their jewels into the country an
- net for which there is a heavy fine. Uncle Sum's coffers
were vastly enriched.
And the young woman 1 Tho customs regulations give
an informer 25 .per cent of all fines collected. To date
this young woman lias realized just $200,000 on her little
book; and tho end is not yet.
We don't know just what tho moral may bo. Perhaps
, !at is that in dealing with tho customs men you must be
"Very, very careful.
THE RAILROADER'S JOB.
THE railroads of this country are doing a pretty good
job. Thoy are giving very efficient transportation
service at a cost which, all things considered, is quite
"reasonable. Wo have a right to bo proud of them.
' Yet when a railroad publicity clip-sheet complains
that "no other private business is so fully under tho
jurisdiction of the Washington bureaucracy as i8 tho
railroad business," it would pay us to remombor a hard
fact or two.
Chief of these is tho fact that the railroads brought
government regulation on themselves. Head the history
of the country for tho half century preceding the. estab
lishment of tho Interstate Conlmeroo Commission and
you'll agree. Tho roads should not bo strangled in red
tape, of course; but wo should think long and earnestly
before doing away with all regulation whatever.
CONSIDER MR. VOTER.
MULTNOMAH county, news reports toll us, had quite
a time at tho primaries, because tho genoral publio
didn't know how to use the voting raoohinos. Many
voters stood in lino, while the man or woman ahead of
thom tried in vain to figuro it all out. A lrage number
of voters, discouraged at the long wait, dosorted tho lino,
and the light voto was made even lighter.
Multnomah county has had quite a squabble over
the voting machines. Tho matter was taken to tho courts,
but the decision wasn't given in timo to have anything
to do with tho primaries. So tho expensive machines
continued in use.
Mr. Avcrngo Voter has a bard enough time trying to
figuro out a ballot anyway, without trying to dopo out
the whys and whoroforos of a machino in addition. Elec
tions may be hard on tho losing candidates, but how
about a consideration .of the diffipjiAios of the. voter at
election timet - "-".s .
-.
BUSINESS AND POLITICS.
THE United Statos Chnmbor of Comrnoroo has done
well in passing a resolution repudiating "all those
who indulgo in commercial and political conniption."
Everyone with any sonso, of oourso, knows full well
that tho standard of ethics among big business men is as
high as in any other class of Americans. Yet tho various
ramifioations of tho Teapot Dome caso havo been un
ploasant and disturbing. For a timo it looked as if the
leaders of business were going to lot tho publio assume
that Sinclair, Stewart and tho rest were fair representa
tives of tho business world.
Now they have spoken, nnd spoken in a way to give
small comfort to Messrs. Sinclair and Stewart. The
chamber is to be commended for its attitude.

in and out deeply a number of times.
This disordul- often comes on ufter
a hearty meal which causes a pressure
on (he diaphragm. It is a spasmodic
contraction of the muscular . dia
phragm which wo use for breathing.
This contraction ia either nervous in
origin, or is caused by irritation or
pressure on the diaphragm.
When too much food starts the
contraction, this may continue until
ine Hiomacn mis Deeome empty, which
may require eight or ten hours. By
this time the diaphragm is apt to be
sore and irritated ond Reep on with
its spastic Jerks unless a remedy is
employed.
Hiccups may develop in the course
of wanting diseases or from brain
irritation, kidney stofiea or peivic dis
orders. In uny of the'se conditions,
the principal disease should be cared
f6r, but a (treat relief will result
from stopping the hiccups.
1 have been able to stop every
case that hut come to my attention
within a few minute! by the simple
treuliueut of pressure upon the cen
tra, cervical plexus. This -is a - col
lection of nerve bodies located on
each side of the spine about the
middle of the neck.
The patient may administer this
treatment himself by placing the fing
ers of each hand firmly ou the sides
ot ins neck, pulling forward ant), at
the autre time, bending the head back
as far its possible. The reason is that
mis pressure imnuits the nerve im
pulses of the phrenic nerve which is
one of the important nerves supplying
the ditiphraKin. This nerve may also
be deadened temporarily by the apli
cation of ice to each side of the neck.
Should the self-applied treatment
not be smncient to slop (he trouble,
it would be well to cult in nn osteo
path or chiropractor who, by making
pressure at exactly the right spot,
will stop tho spasms almost instantly.
Of course, you reuliie that if there
is a chrouic cause, the hiccup is apt
to return in a few hours, and every
iff p ho n Id be employed to ascer
tain and cure the original cause.
After dinuer sufferers should re
member what 1 have said about avoid
ing eating too much food, eatins. 4oo
rapidly, or using food that produces
too much stomach gas. Itv ail in

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: Mrs. Jls. V. writes: "I
have been paralyxed for several
months from high blood pressure. It
firat started In two f infers on the
left hand and finally went up in the
arm aud all over the left side. Have
taken eletri treatment, and have
done everything I know, but get no
better, fan yon help in any wayV"
Answer: Your btgh blood pressure
can he reduced to practically normal
through tasting and dieting. The par
nlynls will disappear as soon as the
blood-clot has been absorbed, but
you can only accomplish this by liv
ing on the most rigid diet. The
IvArsenvol hitch frequency treatment
will temporarily reduce your blood
pressure after each treatment, but
des not have any permanent effect.
Question: Housekeeper writes: "I
am very much interested in your
health column, and am being greatly
benefited, hutx am having difficulty
in knowing which foodH to combine
Will you please give some kind of a
rule to go by?"
Answer: frotems, wnicn ar mr
meats, cheeses, nuts, etc., proper
combined with non-starchv and salad
vegetables, such as string beans, spin
ach, celery, etc., are extremely easy
to digertt. The starches, sucn as pota
toes, macaroni, rice, should also be
combined with the non-starchy or
salad vegetables but never with pro
teins. Just remember this, and study
the menus given in this column each
week nnd it will soon become very
easy for you to select good foods and
combine them correctly. I have pre
pared a special article ou "Food
Combinations" which I will be glad
to send to yon on receipt of a large,
stamped, self-addresssed envelope.

"I wo born in St. Genevieve

the town of Granite, the first place
after the desert is crossed on the
old California trail. I worked there
for some time, and during the win

friends that I had made up my mind
to go over the Sierras to where my
folks lived in the Sacramento valley.
They tried to discourage me by say
ing that I would never get over the
Sierras, as the snow was 25 feet
deep nt the summit. But I was
young and husky and besides I want
ed to sec my folks. So I got a pair
of snow-shoes and" made up a pack
and started on the lonely trip. Be
fore I left, however, an old trapper
and hunter gave me some very good
information as to tne Dest route.
"I followed his instructions and

There were many questions asked
and some of the people there said I
had .done a very risky thing. But
there 1 was, all right.
The next morning I climbed up the
chute and put on my anowtdioes,
and started down the mountain. I
went along at a good rate of speed
nnd ns I got down near the foot

on I had to discurd the snowshoes,
for I was getting into the valley,
and flowers were blooming and I bsw

"Tho next day I made Bidwell's
bar, and was soon with my roiks,
nnd I found that my father was min
ing. After working around home for
a time, I went to work driving stage
for AVnsh Montgomery, who put me
on a line from Marysville to Lincoln,
a 35-mile trn. He had just re
turned in 1S01 from the east with
500 head of stage horses, and they
were fine animals. Later I went on
a line from -Fo! som to Pla cerville,
I knew many of the Galifornians
who were prominent in the mining
days. Bret Hnrte, the poet and nov
elist, frequently traveled with me.
I also knew Hank Monk .the famous
stage driver, who had Horace Greely
for a passenger, while the great
journalist was out west. He wob the
mnn who said: 'Keep your hnt on,
Mr. Greely! I'll get you through
on time.' We sure bad to make time
in those days, and I guess some of
the passengers were obliged to hang
onto their hats at times.
