The esteemed OrcgonUn Appeared here yesterday In "new drew" and "make-up." Veteran readera have not been ao pleasantly hocked ilnce the day a possessor of set of landmark irhlskere showed up clean-ahaven. a Without delay, the sympathy of this county should be extended to Kitsap county, Wash., where a politi cal mess, an unsolved mass murder mystery, and a "Public Betterment League" are all fermenting at the aame time. Recommended for entertaining and Informative reading la "Utopia Un limited." by Oeorge Creel, in this week's l4ue of the Saturday Evening Post. The article diagnoses the re cent get-somethtng-for-nothlng gid diness that swept California, and eliminated the author as a Demo cratic aspirant for the governorship. The conclusion of the article, deal ing with the financial receipts, causes the suspicion that the old folks are victims of both bad bookkeeping and demagogues. "TORTl'RK TESTED." (Red Blurf (Calif.) News) We read detective stories with- j out becoming detectives. We have read the Bible some, but have no desire to be a preacher. We are a fiend for cow boy stories, but we don't want to be a cow boy. We have read republican news papers all our lives, and we attll remain a democrat. Interest continues high In bowl ing circles. Bowling la harder work than plowing, but more sociable. The participants yell at each other like a couple of lawyers. The first signs of winter have ap peared snow on the mountain tops, and stock Ingles girls on the back eeat of motorcycles. "Henry Junge, Charles Thomas, K. Johnson, the McCarthy brothers. Wtnfleld Brancroft and several others butchered a hog Thursday on the Lynch place," (Orleans Cal.) Jot tings) There Is no use trying to do anything If you are short-handed. VICIOUS police dog that will pro tect your poultry. See him at 1031 Newport. (Want Ad Bend Bulletin) The modern version of the Hon and the lamb. t t The new chief of police of Port land has Innovated a public spesktng course for policemen. The idea was to teach the minions of the law how to orate with "proper gestures." Only 39 of 415 policemen felt any de sire to further glut the oratorical market. The need of the course is not apparent, unless there Is a theory that the wicked flee from a speech, aa well as when no man pursue th. 01' RH Ol T OF WH ACK, ALSO. The letter "E" la the moat un fortunate character In the English alphabet, because It is always out of canh, forever In debt, never out of danger, and In hell all the time. "E" Is never In war. and alwaya in peace. It Is the beginning of exist ence, the commencement of ease and the end of trouble. Without It there would be no rest, meat, life or heaven. It Is the center of honesty, makes love perfect, and without it there would he no fdttore, devils or news. (Barnes (Utah) Times) Old Age Pensions OXE of the first duties of the 1935 legislature should be to amend the present state old age pension law, so that it will no longer be a snide and a sham. The present law provides pensions, but it provides no money with which to pay them, The law is also so hedged about with red tape and restrictions, that its benefits, even where money has been made available, can be enjoyed by only a small per centage of those rightfully entitled to them. The Mail Tribune has become convinced that the principle of old age pensions is sound, not only from a humanitarian but from an economic standpoint. If financed by contributions from business and payrolls, assisted by liquor revenues, such a system will not add to the present tax burden, and at the same time will go far toward securing a permanent and satis factory solution of the unemployment problem. If all people over' 60 or 65 years of age were provided for today in Jackson county, the local relief problem would be relatively easy to solve. And as business conditions improve the approach to no serious relief problem at all, would be greatly accelerated. . . This paper is convinced that some practical and adequate system of old age pensions is an essential feature of a "new deal" not only in this state but throughout the country; not Only as a relief measure during the depression, but as a permanent feature of a new social and economic set-up.

Ore., Nov. 33 (API William Portmlller. 74. ft merchant here for nearly half century, died yesterday. He waa a member of the board of trustees of Albany college. post he had held for so yeara. George Creel and Townsend Plan TTTE hope those who favor the Townsend old age pension plan and many do will read the statement by George Creel m Tuesday's paper, and also his article in this week's Saturday Evening Post. Mr. Creel is an enthusiastic New Dealer and even listed by California conservatives as a "radical." But he is opposed to the Townsend plan because he regards it as impractical; and from a sound financial standpoint, im possible. He lists it among those visionary projects which Presi dent Roosevelt recently deplored, because they raise false hopes of relief in the hearts and minds of deserving people, and their net result therefore is only to increase disillusion and despair. .... JlR. CREEL in his Post article clearly shows that the Towns end plans providing $200 per month for every person reaching the age of 60 ($400 a month for a couple), would re quire an expenditure of $2,000,000,000 a month or $24,000,000,. 000 a year1! To finance this huge amount would require retail sales aggregating 240 billions for the Townsend proposal is to be financed by imposing a national 10 sales tax. The total retail sales in this country amount to something" like $32,000,. 000,000 a year, so a ten percent sales tax would yield, $3,200, 000,000, or only enough to finance such an old age pension sys tem for about a month and a half I ' Attacking the scheme from another angle the author shows the TOTAL income of all the people in this country last year was less than $40,000,000,000. As less than TEN percent of all the people arc over 60, this Townsend plan would thus give more than HALF of the total income of the United States to only 10 of the people. . " a . IF this opposition to the Townsend plan came from an ultra 1 conservative or reactionary source, it might be discounted as the product of prejudice against all progressive or humani tarian legislation.- But it conies from a pronounced liberal, a strong supporter of President Roosevelt, and an uncompromis ing advocate of the social and economic reforms of the New Deal. NEWSPAPER men must be lucky these daya. Mac Epley waa holding a heavy con ference with thla writer yesterday, and like moat newspaper folk In such situations he had his feet high up on the desk. In thla posture, nlcketa began drip ping out of hla pants pocket, INQUIRY developed the fact that lie had put ONE nickel Into a slot machine and had got 8IX back. Not only that, but he'd had the good sense to quit right there and han; onto the atx nlckela. . Beat that one, If 'yu think yon can. N OTHER member of thla organ!- ntlon, whose .name thla writer fears to mention, waa crossing the Oreensprlngs highway the other day. when he alghted a honker goos on the pavement ahead of him. ' He alowed flown and approached the goose cautlonuely, and . when about SO feet away It apread its wlnga to fly. Now listen to this: It flew right Into hla radiator and broke Ita necc, and he got out of the car, picked It up and put It In the back end and that night he had goose for supper - THEN there'a Shorty Brooks, a . printer In the back ahop, who waa hunting last fall In a heavy fig and off to one side of blm was a Swede with a shotgun In one hand and a Jug of liquor In the other. . A band of honker geese came over. flying low In the fog, and Shorty aweara to thla the Swede dropped hla gun, reached up Into the air. grabbed a goose by the neck, and brought It down and put hla foot on It; all the time keeping a tight hold on the Jug of liquor. - THIS ought to be about enough for one day about the luck of news paper workers, ao let'a atop here. . 4 Personal Health Service By William Brady, M.U.

GOOO BYE TO GOOD 01-0 GARGLE Inconsistent people teach or believe that what they call "colds" are .-lit a to bad weather, dampness or drafts, yet advise or use antiseptic gargles for prevention or treatment. Granting an an tiseptic solution destroys s e r m s the popular prac tice of using an antiseptic gargle la really altruis tic. It tenda to prevent the spread ol the Infection to other per sons. So far as such treatment con cerns sore throat, rhinitis or what ever the ailment may be, one might as well use the medicine to wash down the sink. The germs causing the sore throat have Invaded the tissues and are beyond the reach of any antiseptic. However, members of the Wiseacre family derive a sense of righteousness from gargling, as they do from a mid-week bath. Gargling is not only painful but objectionable when there Is a severe sore throat. It la objectionable be cause It Btlrs up things when, In the presence of acute Inflammation, absolute rest Is Indicated. An instructive stuay of the value of garbling has been made by Drs. William Snow and J. E. Stern, who made a series of X-ray films of sub jects In the act of gargling with a thin liquid suspension of barium su' phate (which gives an X-ray shad ow). Some gargled violently: some Just tilted the head backward to al-; low the liquid to run as far back-1 ward as possible without gargling. The pictures showed that with all three methods of gargling the tongue Is firmly pressed against the soft pal ate In such a position that the liquid cannot reach the anterior pillar, those folds of mucous membrane bordering the tonsils In front. Only when a subject Interrupted hla garg ling to take a breath of air, did a small stream of the liquid leak past the pillars to be swallowed. The same Investigators observed the effect of Irrigation. The liquid was allowed to run through tubing from a container 18 Inches above the level of the mouth, from a narrow Irri gating nozzle or tip. X-ray films of this showed that the liquid thorough ly bathed the entire surface of the throat and the apace behind the nasal passages as well; In fact, some of the fluid escaped through the nose. With this method the swal lowing reflex was not Invoked. So It 1 time to say good bye to gargling. Many good physicians have long since made a practice of prescribing gravity Irrigation Instead of gargling Irrigation la always more effective for children with nose or throat in fections, such as scarlet fever, diph theria, tonsllltls, rhinitis or sinus itis. To the uninitiated It la aston ishing how tolerant a sick child, even an Infant. Is to Irrigation through the nostril. The agreeably warm me dlclnal solution la simply allowed to run gently Into one nostril and re turn through the opposite nostril as the child lies on one side, then the other. QUESTIONS AM ANSWERS Doctors Listen . . . you kindly sent recently for Injection one for hydrocele, two for hemorrhoids and four for hernia.

Some one, told me It la not good for me. (B. H. O.) Ana. Carbonated water, sparkling water, soda water, ecltzer, fliz, charg ed water or whatever you prefer to call It, Is not advisable for habitual use. It stimulates Increased secre tion gastric Juice. Habitual use causes hyperchlorl-hydrla, excessive' acidity of atomach. Predisposes to gastric ulcer and stomach gaatrltla. Make It plain tap water, and your habit la a healthful one. For occasional Indul gence carbonated water Is all right. WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE WITHOUT CALOMEL And You'll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rarin' to Go If yon feel sour snd sank sod the world looks punk, don't swallow a, lot of wits, min er I water, of), laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to nuke you auddenly sweet and buoyant and full of unabine. For tbey can't do it. They only move the bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feelinc is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile Into your bowels daily. If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have a thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, kin often breaks out in olemishes. Your bead aches and you feel down and out. Your whott system is poisoned. It takes those good, old CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS to fet these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you tee) "up and up." They contain wonderful, harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when it comes to making the bile flow freely. But don't ask for liver pilla. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills.

I.V his pronouncement of Tuesday last published in the Mail Tribune, Mr. Creel called on the Democratic party of Cali fornia to heed the growing dissatisfaction and discontent in that state, as exemplified by the vote for Epic and Upton Sin clair. He stressed tho fact this vote was not a Mcrriam victory as much as it was a Sinclair defeat ; not in any sense a reaction ary verdict, but only a repudiation of unsound schemes of social reform. And in the following statement Mr. Creel enunciated a most important truth: "To atlgmatlr.e Justifiable unrest aa communism, and to attempt to evade conslderatlona of economlo Ills and abuses by " framing a red ecare la cruel, dishonest and Incredibly stupid." Mr. Creel favors an old age pension system, as well as some plan of unemployment insurance. His quarrel with the Towns end plan is that it goes too far, holds out roseate hopes that can't be realized and therefore to advocate it only delays the time w hen a sound and workable old ago pension program can be made available to the people of that state and the country. We believe that all people who will carefully study the details of the Townsend plan, and the present financial condi tion of this country, will come to the same conclusion, that the Townsend plan "listens well" but that in actual practice, it can't be made to work.
