EAT LESS AND TAKE SALTS Tike a glass of Baits before breakfast if your Back harts or Bladder bothers you. The Anie- rn an, 3 women must punrd conati. j jfinat Kidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with nrio acid which the kidneys etrivo to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the elimiuative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder ..; weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumpB of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cJoudy, full of sediment or you are obliged io seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your phar macist about four ounces of Jod Salts; take a tablespoonful i in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and; your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salt is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. ,' ' ' J ad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in jure, makes a delightful effervescent . litliia-watcr beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney JlmiU iug anj, time, VICTORY GARDENS THE SHIPYARD STRIKE. PUOKT SOUND . shipyard workers niv striking to se cure ii'wago. scale of $1 an liouv for uicchiiuics and $7 ami a day for helpcs and apprentices. The mechan ics were receiving SO cents an hour and double pay for overtime. A lare ..ui ''ht of helpers and apprentices, labor leaders claimed, : . cived about. n day while many othws, they say were paid $4.16 per day. Recently the entire shipyard wage question was sub mitted to a federal waire adjustment board known its the Maey board. The unions asked for the basic scale of $1 Iter hour, but. the board awarded them a settle of S(Vj cents per hour. The dissat isfaction expressed by tho mon with the Macy award resulted in the strike. The shipyards have closed down and from'30.000 to 40,000 men aye idle, with no compromise in sight. The ef forts of the strikers is, now bein' exerted to have general strikes declared in Seattle and Tacoma so that the public may be punished, and the ensuing business paralysis cause pressure to be exerted upon the shipyard owners to sur render to the strikers' wage demands. The strike is the result of too much prosperity among the workmen. Having by war profiteering, taken advan tage of the nation's necessities, secured probably the high est wages paid in the world, these ship builders want still more. The wpge dispute was thoroughly investigated by the federal mediation board and the award accepted by the shipyards, but is not sufficient to satisfy the workers. This is due largely to the irresponsible 1. W and radi cal socialist elements, that dominate the Seattle labor situation. Any wage raise would only be the signal for new and more exorbitant demands. Public senti;::o;;i is not with the shipyard strikers, whose wages averaged more than the average man receiv ed. Nor is any sympathy wasted upon the shipyard owners. Both employe and employer have been guilty of war profiteering, while in many yards, sabotage on' the government has been practiced by both company and workmen, to increase their profits, in order to make the cost as excessive as posslbb by wasting time and money fine examples of patriotism. , During the war period, compulsory federal mediation of labor disputes prevailed as an emergency war measure, but since the fighting lias ceased, employers in the east; like the Bethlehem Steel Co.. and employes in the west, like the ship workers, have refused to accept the decisions of the federal labor board, and defy its rulings, although working for the government, which calls attention to the need of a permanent federal -labor board with powers to enforce its findings in other words, compulsory :trbitra tiou at least upon, government contracts and upon labor disputes of public utility enterprises. In almost every strike, there is a third party, the pub lic, which suffers, and whose interest is of greater mo ment than those of. the principals a party ignored by both, but yet whose voice public opinion is usually the deciding factor. EAGLE POINT EAGLETS ' " ' Bv A. C. Ilowlett. Last Saturday afternoon Dr. Holt moved Fred Dutton and wife, with their nurso from tho ranch where they were living into the home of Mrs. Dutton's father, and by that means was ablo to procure a nurse for Mr. Harnisb and son Robert and also save the necessity of having the doctor make the extra riding. They all four were down with the flu and it seemed almost impossible to secure the services of a trained nurso or ovea any one to assist in taring for them, but now under th.6 new ar rangement tho patients are improv ing and will soon be ablo to care for themselves. The other cases around town and In the country, so far as I can learn are on the list of convales cents unless it is throe new cases re ported this Wednesday morning. Sunday J. V. Mc.Intyro and wife, W. C. Clements and wife and II. .1. Devany, an insurance investigator, were here for dinner and Marsh Gar rett and Guy Holman came in later and spent the night. Mrs. W. C. Clements entertained Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Brown, J. V. XIc Intyre and wife and Mr. H. J. De vany at the evening meal and the evening was spent in social enjoy ment. During the time Mr. Harnish and his son Rob are confined to the house Mr. Harnish had Jud Edsall engaged to carry the mail from hero to Med ford and back nine times a week, but -Monday Jud Edsall was reported on the sick list and the services of -Wm. Perry have "been secured to carry it until Jud Edsall recovers. He was simply sick with a bilious attack and this Wednesday afternoon repvirts thai he will be ablo to carry the mall again Thursday. Those who travel over the roads report that they are almost -impassable between here and Agate and if the order of the federal court Is car ried out, that is to suspend operation entirely it may be the means of get ting our roads improved to say the least of it. , Speaking of the order of the court to suspend operations on the P. & TO., we, and in this case I use "we" in a broader sense and embrace a good part of the community, did not real ize that the city of liagle Point wan of so much importance as we are credited with, that Is having the blame of the failure of the Pacific & Uastcrn railroad to succeed in the laudalilo undertaking of supplying the demands of the public. We nre accused of not patronizing the rail road and keeping up two Jitneys to carry passenger.') to and from Med Xord. Xow lot us seo how much we are to blame for that. When the 'P. & 13. trains started from here In the morning at 8 o'clock there were no JitnoVR on the rn.id, 'hut Mm manager changed tho plans and arranged 'to MEDFORD TrATTj TRTDUKE. start from MedforJ at 9 o'clock a. m. j thus necessitating the taking of llic railroad men away from here to MeJ ; ford, and several or them had bought ; lots and built their homes, but wo arc not questioning their riyht to do so. j but after that we had. according to : their schedule service sS that they i would arrive hero at 9:45 a. in. and (then go on hp to Butte Kalis, re turning at 2:25. And then if we wanted to go to Medford wo could. but wo must stay all night, or else walk homo. All of this is provided tho train wa3 on time, but If it hap pened to be into, as it often was. we could wait until the next day and try again. Hut how was It about the mail? I have known tho second-cIns mail to remain In the depot here j when the train was making two trips a auy, over night so that tho mail pack could be carried on a bicycle to tho Metlrord postoffics, and finally the mail service got so bad that ar rangements were made to have the mall carried by a Jitney from here to Medford and back once a day day on train days and twice n day tho other days, and yet wo are accused of knocking the Pacific & Eastern rail road out of business. But let us look at tho freight ques tion. In some Instances their charges were so high that parties -could hard ly afford to pay them. Take for In stance ice as an item. Tho railroad company charged 19 cents for 100 pounds from .Medford to here, but perhaps that was alright if wo could depend on tho freight getting here on time, but I have known of teams visiting here to tako the freight away several hours and In some Instance.': didn't come at all for lack or cars. And hut a chort time ago Cieo. lirown & Sons engaged a car to take a load of hogs to Portland and had (hem brought in ready for shipment. When the train eamo in there was no car. so they had to go to the expense of extra feeding here until the next train day. And further, I beard Frank lirown of tho firm of Geo. Prown & Sons, tell twico that he had had an offer to have their freight i taken from the S. P. depot and laid down at tho store door for the lame price tho railroad company charged to bring It out to the Eaglo Point, depot and by that, means nave tbn carlago from the S. P. depot, und from the P. & E. depot. There or': two sides to this nucition n-tl v-Vile we perhaps have pr IIi-ovm r : -th-'i patronage to the I'. ,"; ;r. : v ;ni.::t wo feel that -it-!r, t.j vn -:r! against us when v e c-c c!:!r-;;-'.! .vkn being tho cause. of tre -:n of t':o P.

The official record of their heroic work tolls of successful mcssuKC currylng thru darkness, mist, rain' and sholl-jlro over tho most difficult ground. In li few minutes' time iIohh have brought messages over ground that would take a soldier runnor hours to cross. During the great German advance last spring part of tho ItrllUh lino In front of n famous Krciyh town was cut off by severe onemti ImrruK". A messenger doj was released with an urgent appeal for reinforcements., It ran two miles in ten minutes. The result was that a French colonial division was scut up and prevented a disaster. Tho messenger was a High land sheep dog. Another dog with a mivsngo ran nearly four miles In twenty minutes, nntLstUl another In the same time earned back from the front a map or an important c-ipCtrcd position, when a man would have taken an hour and n half to bring It In. The f!oi:s wh'ch have been found most successful in war work ::rt col lies, sheep dogs, lurchers and alre d:i!e.s. and crosses of tlicse varieties, while In a number of cases Welsh ami Irish terriers have given excellent results.
