A good subscriber told us about it. The same day there waa a letter In our postoffice box that didn't belong to us. We called for 98 over the phone and got 198. We asked for a spool of No. 60 thread and when we got home we found It was No. 60. The train waa reported 30 minutea late. We arrived at the depot 20 minutes late after the train had gone. We got our milk bill and there was a mistake of ten cents in our favor. We felt sick and the doctor said we were eating too much meat. We hadnt tasted meat for two months.

Willlnm McCnrty, now 06 yenrs old, wna culled xipon two weeks ago to preach at the funeral of a no torious sinner, a relative of Mrs. Levy Laird. The Row Mr. MrCnrty preach ed frankly on the sins of the deceased man and, instead of nssuxinR the mourners that ho was going to Hea ven, boldly stated that lie would go to a much hotter place. He exhorted the younger people to live riphteously leat they go there too. The stuff that the Rev. Mr. MrCnrty wns putting on her dead relative grew too hot for Mrs. Laird. She renehrd out and snatched nt the preacher. When he ducked, she pursued him, and ilimlly was successful in tearing most of his clothes, smashing hit hat. and scratching him up so viciously that he had to see a physician. He had Mrs. Laird arrested. She was fined and sentenced to a term In the work house for disturbing public worship. - 4 . . . .

It will not be a nominal nor even a moderate cut, but a cut that will go deeply. If the gasoline tax is increased, there will be less of future highway department revenues than of present ones. The public demand is not to be denied and we may as well resign ourselves to some lean years in highway affairs. That being true, the highway commission is wise in starting now to cut its pattern according to its cloth. It cannot hope to have funds for major construction projects. The unmistak able demand of the hour is for stringent economy and against free spending. The highway commission must keep its budget in balance and the income under that budget is going down. FULFILLMENT under this program is going to carry with it disappointments to communities and districts desiring new roads. Communities and districts whose projects have been definitely mapped and for which the commission has made commitments, are likely not only to feel disappointment but anger or resentment also. Wilson river, Wolf creek and Siski you projects are in this category. All these the highway com mission has just postponed. There will be repercussions. SISKIYOU represents an important improvement in the Pa nifin iiiorhwav. hut the nresent nroiect is but a link which, to come into usefulness, would have to be supplemented by further extensive and expensive work for which no funds are in sight. Wolf creek represents Portland's the northern beach resorts. It can well wait. Wilson river is primarily a local project for the city of Tillamook, but the people of that city have long sought it and campaigned for it skillfully and persistently. No organization in behalf of any other road project in Oregon has fought so valiantly as have the Tillamook group for the Wilson to tuke the postponement kindly nor to remain quiet about it. The fact that the road to Tillamook via Sheridan is in beUer condition now than ever before and can easily be driven in less than three hours will not be likely to make much difference. THE highway commissioners know how far they were com mittor! tn Kiskivnn. Wolf creek and Wilson river beginnings. Apparently they felt that the commission was not obligated to any of the projects beyond recall in the face of new necessities. If so the commission is justified fully in postponing work on all them. It will not be justified in beginning on any new projects until the revision downward in highway revenues that now looms shall be completed and the situation crystallizes so that we may know how much highway money, if any, we are to have after sinking fund and maintenance are provided for. We are in an era of necessary, not optional retrenchment. The highways will have to take their share of it. Oregonian. Phoenix phorntx. Dec. 29.

BORIC ACID AS HOU A correspondent say he has been using ear drops as suggested in this column (a few drops of a solution of boric acid to the ounce of pure grain alcohol. put in the ear once or twice dally for chronic running ear) and he derives much benefit from lt. Many correspond ents have testi fied to cure of chronic running ear by this rem edy. I don't know about cure, but anyways it Is harmless to try lt out for. say, a month. If your druggist seems diffident about putting up tne solution without a perscrlptlon for the alcohol, that's too bad. Noth ing I can do about It, except to warn you against using anything but pure grain aiconoi. The correspondent says that lately he has been using boric acid solu tion, in the proportion of a table- spoonful of boric acid to the pint of water, to syringe his throat and nose, whatever that may mean. But his wife thinks it is dangerous to use boric acid in the nose and throat, as she has heard it is poisonous. But the wayward boy keeps on using lt in the belief that It may serve as preventive against catching cri Oh, no, of course the man didn't use the term cri. I Just insinuated that for propaganda purposes. What he actually said is that he uses boric acid solution in the belief that it may serve as a preventive against catching diseases that enter via the nose and throat. I, In my queer way. group such diseases as common re spiratixy Infections, or designate any or all of them as CRI for short. But don't get restive, dumb folks. You may go right on, in your gentle, bo vine way, calling cri "cold," for all I care. Bnt you can't call lt that when you speak to me. I wouldn't know what you're talking about, and neither would you. Whether the use of a nose spray, or gargle, or mouthwash, or irriga tion of boric acid solution Is of any value in preventing respiratory In fections I don't know, but If any antiseptic medicament is effective in Guardian Angel of Cats Happy Though Alone, III Miss Frances Everett, friend of all living things, who has welcomed Into her little brown house at the end of King street, where the weeds grow high, a great family of cats, for which she has become famous throughout the town, U ill this week and alone, but happy, although she was unable to decorate a Christmas tree for her cats this year, she told a caller at her cottage yesterday.

SEIIOLD ANTISEPTIC that way, I believe boric acid Is the best agent we have for the purpose, Indeed, boric acid is the essential, If nob the only real antiseptic ingredi ent of many a fancy preparation which is highly extolled for this pur pose. The strength of the solution for spraying the nasal passages or for gargling or mouth washing should be a rounded or heaping teaspoonful of boric acid to the pint of boiled water. The same solution, by the way, Is satisfactory as an eye wash or for eye drops. Always have the solution lukewarm, or about the warmth of the body, especially when using it in the nose, or in the eye. Be sure the water has boiled at least five minutes. Tap water Is all right, but distilled water or rain water or snow water is better. If swallowed in large quantity boric acid is somewhat poisonous, but not in the amount one uses In a gargle or spray or mouthwash. No harm If some of lt is accidentally swallowed. Another of my notions is that boric acid Is particularly efficacious against the Pneumococcus. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Don't Delve In Morbid Reading. Appreciate lt if you could send me some reading matter or suggest rend ing matter on Parkinsons disease. . . M. S. Answer I advise you not to read such stuff. Feather Bed. Somewhere I have read that sleep ing on a feather bed, that Is, a tick stuffed with feathers on top of the regular mattress, is bad for health, as the feathers are non-conductors of electricity. Is there any truth In this? C. R. K. Answer I suppose dry feathers are non-conductors of electricity, but that would never make me hesitate to dive Into a nice feather bed on a cold night. You Just Imagine It's Clear. Does applying menthol ointment inside the nose to keep it clear, once or twice a day, do any real harm? G. O. F. Answer It doesn't keep the nose clear the pungent effect of menthol Just makes lt feel that way. Can't say It does any serious harm, but surely lt does no good. (Copyright, John F.

While no definite conclusion or uni form tax proposal was reached at the conference, it was announced after the all-day session that sales tax bills, alike In the major essentials, would be given to the legislatures of the three states for consideration. Views on various- revenue-raising measures, featuring sales taxes and Income taxes, were exchanged at the conference.
