'Mr. Adams lias gone on -record as opposed to the imme diate construction of the Tiller cut-off. lie has gone on record as favoring; the immediate paving of the unpaved portion of the Pacific, highway in Jackson county, lie lias expressed himself as favorahle to co-operative work with the government for the immediate construction of a sec tion of t lie Crater Lake highway, though con-committal as to intentions of the commission. A second member of the highway commission, S. 'Ben son of Portland, has gone on record by telegram as op posing the 'P. lor cut-off, as favoring the early construct ion of the Crater Lake highway and promising the comple tion of the Pacific, highway in Jackson county. The Civil cr Lake highway has been surveyed by the state and federal government nnd estimates completed. It has been approved by government officials. It only awaits action by I lie state highway commission for construction to begin under the provisions of the Shackelford and Pean Larrett bills. ' "With two members of the commission favorable, there seems no reason why work upon the Crater-Lake highway should not begin this season. "Whether it does or not rests with the commission and we will have a chaijce to contrast promise with performance. There is every reason to'bclieve that Jackson county will receive a square deal at the hands of the commission.

Instead of thousands of half-sick, nnaomlc-lookina; souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowdB of happy, healthy, rosy cheoked people everywhere. The rea son is that the human system does not rid Itself ench day of all the waste which it accumulates nnder our pres ent inodo of living. For every ounco of food and drlnlt taken Into tho system nearly uu uunco of waste material must bo carried out. else It ferments and forms ptomalnc-llko poisons which are absorbed Into the blood. . Just as necossary as It Is to clenn tho ashes from the fumnce each day, before tho fire will burn bright and hot, so wo must each morning clear the Inside orunns of the previous day's accumulation of Indir.estlhlo waste and body toxins.
