Convincing Proof of This Fact Mrs. Lindscy Now Keeps House For Seven. Termille,Ga. "I want to tell you how much I have been benefited by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. About eight years ago I got in such a low state of health I was unable to keep house for three in the family. I had dull, tired, dizzy feelings, cold feet and hands nearly all the time and could scarcely sleep at alL The doctor said I had a severe case of ulceration and without an operation I would always be an invalid, but I told him I wanted to wait awhile. Our druggist advised iry husband to get Lydia K Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it has entirely cured me. Now I keep house for seven and work in the garden some, too. I am so thankful I got this medicine. I feel as though it saved my life and have recommended it to others and they have been benefited". Mrs. W. E. Lindsby, R. R. 3, Tennille, Ga.

BACK TO ORIGIN OF SLANG Word That Are Considered Staid and uignlfled Have a Meaning Known Only to a Few Users. Original slang is often poetic. Per haps the best way to prove this to the professors will be to remind them that some of their own worthiest and most classic and respectable words are themselves, If we go back to their origin, Just the same slangy vagabonds as these. Examine, for Instance, the word Inveigh, Max Eastman writes In the New Republic. There ts a staid and dignified term, fit to be Incorporat ed in a president's inaugural : "I will not at this time Inveigh against the custom prevalent among my contem poraries." You can Imagine how it would sound. And yet, poetically, what does that word mean? In means "Into." Vehl means to sail, "I will not at this time sail Into my contemporaries I" Here Is another Latin worcWnsult. In its origin It means to Jump on ex actly what is said everywhere by the schoolchildren of America when the appropriate situation arises. Diatribe is a pretentious term. It Implies something more thorough than an insult, a more lasting denunciation. You not only "jump on" somebody, but you "rub it In." We used to say of a crazy person that he was "off his trol ley." And the word delirious meant substantially the same thing In an earlier stage of civilization. It came from the Latin words de and lira, which mean oft or out of your fur row. The word precocious means pre cooked, or, as we say, half baked. Capricious means like a goat, and the slang correlatives here are innumer able. Imagine some worthy, refined and graduated soul being offended by a young upstart and responding some what as follows : "It seems to me you are a trifle capricious. I would hard ly expect any one to inveigh ngalnst me in this delirious manner, deliver ing such a diatribe. Is it essential to your precocity to insult your elders?" And then suppose we translated this somewhat according to the etymologic al dictionary : "You goat I You must be off your trolley to sail Into me like that and then rub It In I Just because you're half-baked you needn't think you can Jump on your elders 1" A Guarantee. "You say you can offer me a fortune, but is it all clean money?" "It ought to be; I made it in soap." Baltimore American. The Average Consumer. "Who's this man who is telling me to'eat the luxuries of the table so as to save the staples?" "Why, what's the matter with you, man?" He's either got to give me the mon ey to buy lobsters with or tell me I'm one myself! Exchange. Well, Hardly. "Atlas held the world on his shoul ders." "That's the storv." "Still, he Drobablv didn't hnva hla hands as full as the chap who pitches a crucial game in a world series." Human Nature. That man doesn't live who has not at one time thought he had all the ele ments of greatness concealed within htm. Ridgway, Penn. "I suffered from female trouble with backache and pain in my side for over seven months so I could not do any of my work. I was treated by three different doctors and was getting discouraged when my sister-in-law told me how Lydia E. Tinkham's Vegetable Compound had helped her. I decided to try it, and it restored my health, so I now do all of my housework which is not light as I have a little boy three years old," Mrs. O. M. Enures, Ridgway, Penn. TvTTTTT rC ilLlW to J IN BRIEF. The -car shortage on the Southern Pacific dropped from 1067 to 793 last Saturday. The big difference is made in the increase in the surplus of closed cars from two to 230. Plans are being inaugurated already by McPherson Post, No. 5, G. Ar R., of Albany, for the entertainment of the grand emcampment of Oregon of that organization, which meets in Al bany next June. A petition numerously signed was presented to the Lincoln County court Wednesday asking that a special elec tion be held for the purpose of voting l proposition to bond the county for $200,000 to build roads in the coun ty. The fall fishingTseason opened at noon Tuesday at Astoria with every indication that there will be a large catch. An unusually large amount of gear will be in the water and if the weather conditions permit many trol Iers will be operating outside. The long drouth was broken Friday at Heppner by a shower which cleared the air of smoke and dust and stopped the forest fires in the mountains, Threshing is in full swing, and many farmers who counted on 10,-bushel-per-acre crops are now reporting 18 to 20. The hop crop in Lane county is far short of estimates made when picking was begun last Monday, according to a statement made by J. H. Seavey, of Springfield, who owns a 210-acre yard near that place where between 600 and 600 pickers have completed their work. The citizens of Riddle at a meeting last week, determined to make a pro test before a meeting of the Highway commission and have employed Attor ney Elbert Herman, of Roseburg, to go before the commission and offer proof why Riddle should not be elim inated from the Pacific highway. F. A. Pierce, of Day's Creek, near Riddle, a breeder of mohair goats, has reported for the California State Fair, at Sacramento, with 12 head of his fancy show stock. Mr. Pierce is the owner of Dodo, the world's champion long hair mohair goat, fleece of which measured 42 inches when clipped by the judges at the San Francisco Expo sition. W. A. Taylor, well-known rancher, living near Macleay, eight miles south east of Salem, has received word from the State Fish and Game commission that it intends to place a herd of 30 or 40 elk on the headwaters of the Abqua river some time in the near future. No details were given as to where the elk will be secured, but probably from Wyoming. George H. Himes, of Portland, and P. H. D'Arcy and George M. Post, of Salem, appeared before the Board of Control Wednesday and submitted plans of the new Pioneer Memorial building to be erected by the state at Champoeg, the site of the formation of the provisional government of Ore gon. The plans, which include a log building and an open-air auditorium, were approved and work will go ahead. With the crops of the sales agency's inspectors in charge, daily lectures, to be given between the hours of 1 :30 and 3 o clock, will be features of the annual packing schools to be conducted by the Hood River Apple Growers as sociation for the week of September 17-22. The sales agency officials are determined tdconserve all of the val ley's big apple crop, and growers and their families are urged to be present at the lectures. The Sherman County court has voted $100 for the Sumpter fire relief funds. The blocking of the Columbia High way between Cascade Locks and Hood River, as contemplated, will not stop tourist traffic nor automobile parties to the Pendleton Round-Up, it is point ed out. It is possible to ferry across the river from the locks and to return to the Oregon side again at Hood River, where the road is open. Oscar Nelson, of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, has been named as judge of the poultry department of the Oregon state fair, according to an announce ment made by Secretary A. H. Lea. Mr. Nelson is a native of Sweden. He came to this country In 188!) ana ror 16 years has been breeding pure-bred poultry and for eight years has served as judge at various poultry shows. He owns a large poultry ranch near Coeur d Alene. Discrimination against the lumber industry of the Northwest states in favor of California and Southern states is feared by the Oregon Lumber com' pany of Portland and other Northwest concerns in changes of minimum weights on cars of lumber and lumber products which transcontinental rail way lines propose to make effective September 24. Protests have been filed with the Oregon Public Service commission. The safety deposit vaults of the Bank of Jacksonville were robbed early Wednesday of $500 in money and $500 in jewelry. The only clew to the robbers is two chisels stamped "F. E. H." The recent estimates of Hood River apple shippers of 75 per cent of the 1, 500, 000-box crop of last year, it is now thought, have been placed far too low. Numerous growers are daily visiting sales agencies and re porting an increase of several thousand boxes in their estimates and ordering an increased supply of boxes. STATE DAIRYMEN TO SUFFER Feed Hold-up Causes Consternation in Western Washington Herds May Be Reduced as Direct Result. Puyallup Eastern Washington farmers, by holding up the price of hay, will force Western Washington farmers to retrench to the limit, if not entirely go out of business, unless the government steps in and controls prices, is the opinion of H. L. Blanch ard, head of the dairying department of the Western Washington Experi mental station. From advices re cently received from Yakima he is led to believe that Eastern Washington is using a strangle hold on communities that do not produce enough feed to supply themselves. While the present conditions are likely to prove disastrous, Mr. Blanch ard says farmers are likely to profit by the experience of the last two years and obtain supplies enough to last the winter. At the Puyallup Ice Cream company, one of the large dealers in butter fat, they were of the opinion that the worst fall would be with the small dairyman, as the larger places would supply themselves now. The milk supply is now falling off, due to the dry weather. Present sour cream is selling at 50 cents and sweet cream at 60 cents, and milk is 35 cents a gal lon. These prices must rise during the winter, according to the wholesale men. While consumers will go with out butter rather than pay more than 50 cents now, it is only a question of time before they will have to pay more. The farmer is not getting a fair profit on his products, but it will be the consumer that will pay for the high price of feed ultimately, ' is the verdict of the wholesalers. Mr. islanchard believes that re trenchment can't help but" aid the dairymen. They will be unable to keep all their cattle, and it will be the poor producers that will be sacrificed. That there will be a great slaughter this winter without government con trol of feed prices is the statement re cently made by Dr. H. T. Graves, for merly state veterinarian. Fishermen Prepare for Run. Lewiston, Idaho Fishermen who are operating the fishing ground on the Washington side of the Salmon river just below Lewiston were engaged in outfitting here Thursday and getting in readiness for the season s run which they expect on Wednesday of the com ing week. Last year was a very lean year in the fishing business and the local fishermen expect a heavy run of salmon this season. The price will be started at 17J cents retail or 12 cents in hundred-pound lots. NORTHWEST MARKET REPORT Portland Wheat Bluestem, $2 per bushel; fortyfold, $1.98; club, $1.96; red Russian, $1,93.

It Is part of the power the eternal power of the story teller over the mind of man. There is no great story teller, from Hunter to Scott and Guy de Mau passant, who, whatever else he may have, has not the faculty for matter-of- factness. It Is the treasury from which the wit and cynic draw their Income, and often the philosopher his capital. Stranger still, it is the bed rock upon which the poets build their palaces; glorious views from top windows are made possible by the hard substance below the basement, and the men who build without it, trusting wholly to Imagination, are not the men who en dure. What reason Is to faith, matter-of- fact Is to Imagination. The Old Way and the New. Old-fashioned people used to spend the long evenings of fall and winter at home, munching popcorn or apples over the Bible, Shakespeare or1 Dick ens. Moderns go to the movies and let the Charlie Chapllns and Mary Pick, fords improve their minds. Biting Reproof. During a dust storm at one of the army camps, a recruit sought shelter in the cook's tent. "If you put the lid on that camp kettle you would not get so much dust in your soup." "See here, my lad, your business is to serve your country." "Yes," replied the recruit, "but not to eat it" Chriitian Rejgister. What They Find.

Says Corns Lift Out Without Any Pain You reckless men and women who are pestered with corns and who have at least once a week Invited an awful death from lockjaw or blood poison are now told by a Cincinnati authority to use a drug called freezone, which the moment a few drops are applied to any corn or callous the soreness Is relieved and soon the entire corn or callous, root and all, lift off with the fingers. Freezone dries the moment It is ap plied, and simply shrivels the corn or callous without inflaming or even Ir ritating the surrounding tissue or skin. A small bottle of freezone will cost very little at any of the drug stores, but will positively rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or hardened callous. It your druggist hasn't any freezone he can get It at any wholesale drug house for you. P. N. U. No. 37, 1917,
