THE OAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1917 Page Seven BRIEF K NOTES OF SOLDIERS TO BE DEFEND ED AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS 0. II. C. m it BLUEBIRD - FRANKIVN FRBNUM . ft & BROWNIE VERNON IN "BRINGING HOME FATHER." "Bringing Home - Father," the Bluebird announced for display at the Star theatre on Saturday, Nov. 24, deals facetiously with two political subjects constantly agitated prohi bition and woman's suffrage. These iBsues, however, are used simply as a means to an end, for the comedy drama is Intended solely as amuse ment with no purpose to serve as propaganda. Franklyn Farnum and "Brownie" Vernon will lead a clever company of players through five acts of spirited entertainment, the interest being chiefly directed to the unfold ing of an engaging love story with the desired happy consummation. "Bringing Home Father" is another proof set forth by Bluebird that Shakespeare was right "The Play's the Thing." Selected first for its en tertaining value. Bluebird has en trusted the various roles to players best suited to interpret them, and the result is sure to give complete satis faction to the most exciting "fan."

The Oregon Garage Home of the Republic Tires Through an arrangement between the medical division of the army and the Oregon Association for the Pre vention of Tuberculosis, soldiers from Oregon will be defended against tu berculosis with the same spirit as that which sends them out to defend their country against the Huns. The names and addresses of applicants for enlistment who are rejected be cause of tuberculosis will be furnish ed to the Association py the medical division of the army. Those who con tract the disease in the cantonments or trenches and are sent back home will likewise be made known to the association. The representatives of the asso ciation in turn agree to see that ev ery soldier has proper care. If he can go to the state or other sana torium for care, that will be consid ered the Ideal arrangement. If he must remain at home, arrangements will be made to prevent the spread of the disease and to see that he has proper environment and food. When necessary supplies will be furnished. The work is to be undertaken to prevent In Oregon anything approach ing the scourge of tuberculosis which has made It necessary to return 200, 000 French soldiers from the trench es. The work with its extensive du ties, will be undertaken by the as sociation, working in conjunction with the state health officer, In addi tion to its regular work. About twice as much of a budget will be required next year as this. In other words, the Red Cross Christ mas seal campaign, which begins all over Oregon December 1, must pro duce $10,000 this year as compared with the $5000 sought last year. A. L. Mills, President of the asso ciation and of the First National Bank of Portland, has no fear of the campaign's success. "The amount of $10,000 for all of Oregon is very small," he said, "both compared with the State's willingness to give toward so practical a patriotic service and the amount of work that will be done. The entire additional amount for the care of soldiers will be expended without overhead expense of any kind. "Another element that always aids the appeal for the cheery Red Cross Christmas Seal Is the fact that those who have but a penny or a nickel to Invest are helping the cause just as these who have dollars. The high prices caused by war haven't hit the seals; they still sejl for a penny each." With the money provided from the sale of seals last year, tuberculosis surveys of .great value in controlling the disease have been made in Lane, Multnomah, Baker, Washington, Jackson, Umatilla, Clackamas, Mar lon, Union, Clatsop, Josephine coun ties, and partial surveys have been made In Grant and Wallowa coun ties. Trained nurses have made sys tematic visits to homes where the dis ease was found. Instruction in care of the afflicted and in hygiene has been given. Milk and eggs, neces sary 1o strengthen patients who have tuberculosis have been provided where they have lacked the financial ability to buy for themselves. Work has been systematically done through the schools and the state has been covered in a multitude of ways. TO Witter Warmth Just the heat you need when and where you need it Ready for instant use.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY (CAUFWWU) & -NkkB w m m s u k-v 1 im. vi w on, ilk-rm i PERFECTION OIL HEATER FOR SALE BY GILLIAM & BISBEE General Hardware Dealers,Heppner ac GOVERNMENT FREE SEEDS ARE SCARCER THIS YEAR Congressman N.J. Sinnott has writ-' ten The Gazette-Times that he has been informed by the Bureau of Plant Industry at Washington that the al lotment of vegetable and flower seeds made to each member of the House of Representatives for distribution in his district will be 5,000 packages fewer this year than It was last year. ' For this reason he is even more anx-j lous than usual to get the seeds al lowed him into the hands of those; who can use them to the best advan tage and desire to receive the same. The congressman believes that the method tried' last year of making the distribution through co-operation with the papers in his district Is the most successful in bringing about this result. Therefore, when the seeds are ready for distribution, which will not be probably until January or later, a supply will be sent to this paper. At that time a package may be obtained as long as they last, either by calling at our office or requesting a package by mall. Congressman Sinnott will also retain a small part of his allot ment at his office 242 House of Rep resentatives, Washington, D. C, in order that any of his constituents finding It inconvenient to get the seeds In the above manner may ob tain a package by writing directly to him at Washington.

(HANDLER SIX Choose the Chandler Because It Offers So Much More BY people who are familiar with motor car values the Chandler is most commonly compared with high-priced cars, "because, in so many essential features of design, con struction and equipment, it checks so closely with the high priced cars. And because so few, if any, of these distinctively high-grade features are found in other cars selling for less than $2000. Yet the Chandler price is only $1595. The intelligent automobile purchaser is not misled by further threatened price advances of cars striving to maintain some degree of a leadership that has passed. There have been some necessary price advances within the, year. And some unnecessary ones. If you choose carefully from among well-known medium priced cars you will choose the Chandler, because of its extraordinary value.
