Usually there are few orders for lum ber during the m onths of July and August but the mills operate on excess orders coming in during May and June. This year there was not only a very low price but very little dem and for any lumber and no orders accum ulated in the spring m onths for sum m er run. Consequently m any of the large mills have shut down. W hether these mills will reopen In Septem ber depends on w hether any orders are received. Usually the m arket strengthens by the first of Septem ber. W hether it will this year is problem atical but there is hopes. While none of the mills expect to m ake a profit, when the situation comes to a point where they will lose less running than by being shut down, m ost of them will reopen. Mill m anagers feel th a t if possible they should run to give labor employment. However, they m ust also consider, th a t they are depleting their stum page and wasting their resources by running a t a loss. Lum ber mills of the northw est are now running about 40 per cent capacity. Fall may see them running from 60 to 80 per cent capacity. MAKING UP TH E TICKET BEFORE A SALE We read in the dally press th a t Governor Meier has been putting out a half million dollars here and lopping off an­ other half million there until it seems th at soon we will not be paying any taxes. T ruth is the governor started out by signing appropriation b ilis io r $11,451,079 from the gen­ eral fund revenues of $9,973,732 or nearly $1,500,000 more than he had revenue to pay. Necessarily he m ust m ake some cuts or somone will go w ithout pay. After the governor has deducted the savings made the state it looks like his two year fiscal adm inistration will cost the state 18 per cent more than the previous biennium. The price tag was m arked up considerably before the governor started advertising his sale,—sta te governm ent a t reduced prices. A GOOD CODE FOR ANYBODY M ahatm a Gandhi, the leader of the revolution against British rule in India, told newspaper men the other day the rules of conduct which have governed his own life. He would not presum e to lay down rules for anybody else, he said, but he had a code which he had consistently followed. These are the rules of life, as Gandhi observes them ! Love. Truth. Chastity. Fearlessness. Service to others. Control of appetites. Belief in the equality of all mankind. Abstention from alcohol, tobacco and drugs. Belief th a t all great religions are of equal worth. Taking nothing th a t is not paid for by one’s own work. Valuing possessions not for them selves but for their usefulness. It is not easy to live in a world which professes, in the main, such a code, and to obey it literally. For while these rules of conduct as laid down by Gandhi differ in no im port­ ant respect from those laid down by Jesus C hrist and before Him by Buddha and other great religious teachers, very few- hum an being have had the hardihood to even attem pt to live up to them. Gandhi himself, even his enemies admit, comes about as close to it as any man in m odern times. • It seems to us th at one of the causes of the trouble in which the world finds itself today is th at m ost people have forgotten these ancient rules of life, which have always been sound and still are. We have been carried away, all of us, both in America and elsewhere, by the idea th at there is some magic in m aterial possessions which will m ake us happy in spite of ourselves. Nothing was ever farther from the truth. THE FAMILY JOHN GAINES. M.D TH E EVIDENCE My readers m ay posBibly wonder why I am so frequently denouncing the six o’clock dinner; this, when so m any of our forem ost citizens indulge the feast as a sort of trium ph of civilization. (1) From a study of aged men and women, I find the longest-lived to be those who are hearty breakfast-eaters, and who do not load the digestive tra c t a t the evening meal. (2) From a study of vital statistics, I find th a t six o’clock dinner devotees succum b to “ heart disease” or cerebral hem orrhage, never later than the middle sixties. These are city-dwellers, who are too busy to attend necessary meals until the day’s business is done. 13) if 1 were to inject the expressed juice of the average six o’clock dinner into a patient's veins, I feel sure th a t I would kill him instantly! Well—the Bix o’clock dinner glut­ ton gets those juices into bis veins more slowly, hence he is ■lower about dying of “heart disease” than he'd be with intravenous injection. (4) The tired body—the tired, half-exhausted nervous system cannot supply the necessary gastric and pancreatic fluids to digest a heavy six o’clock feed; hence the juices of the “gorge” are taken into the system by absorption, and in a shape th a t cannot be utilized in the repair of bodily tire— not all, nor half of it can be said to be fit. (5) Hence, it is carried with the blood-current, an ac­ tive poison, unfit for the hum an systemic repair. Hence the ea te r does not w ant breakfast next m orning—has a feeble appetite a t noon—but is ready for the disappointing over-feed a t the following six o’clock. The very arteries of the h e a rt become poisoned slowly. The vessels of the brain give way in their walls. Short breath and apoplectic sym ­ ptom s develop slowly, insidiously. They finally kill. (8) Any thinking physician, If he will observe carefully, cannot fail to agree with me. Lastly, If I w ant to have a groggy, heavy. Indolent feeling tom orrow, I will stuff my carcass with a six o’clock dinned tonight, a t the church dinner th a t I am billed to attend. li. fo ;et III" she snapped.
