SKINNER RESIGNS
CLUB SECRETARYSHIP
An unexpected event at the meeting
of the board Of directors of the Gom
mercial Club last Thursday night was
th resignation of Secretary J.
Klrinner. who hag been manager of the
publicity campaigns of Hood Kiver for
the past two year. During Mr.
Skinner's term of office the ojgamza
tmn's membership Krew from HO to
4H5 ami it has become one of the fore
most Commercial Clubs in the North
WPtit-
Mr. Skinner accompanied the Hood
River exhibits to Spokane. Minneap
olis. Chicago, lJhiludelphia and New
York last year, when the app'es won
Much fame at the first mentoned city.
Itas in Chicago, however, where the
secretary made such a reputation as a
judge of apples. While at banquet of
business and professional men of the
Illinois metroixuis he made me poio
MMnprtion that he was able to distin
guish a Hood River apple anywhere in
the .world, or elsewhere, by its exqui
site flavor. A Chicago attorney wa
irered him that he wouldn't be able
to work the trick. The secretary ac
cepted his wager and while the ban
ruetors" were interested spectators,
four large Spitzenburgs, from the dif
ferent Northwestern regions, among
them a Drize ancle from the V alley,
were brought in by a whiter, pared and
quartered. Then Mr. Skinner began
his- tenting process. To the great sur
prise of all assembled he detected the
Hood Kiver apple.
Mr. Skinner states that he is unabl
to continue the position because of the
fact that his time will be taken up
with private business, Hc'is secretary
treasurer of the Palmer , Bucket Co.
and after October 1, when his term of
ollice expires, will travel through the
East in the interest of the concern.

rUBIJC DRINKING CUPS
HAVE BEEN ABOLISHED
Every public drinking cup in Oregon
was retired from business last Friday
by order of the Mate Hoard of Health
IOverfiowing fountains and individual's
cups have taken the place of the com
u.on cup. The rule applies to al
schools, trains, hotels, public buildings
in short, everywhere that the com
mon drinking cup has been in use. It
will hereafter be a punishable offense
to continue the public drinking cup.
Evidence of the public drinking cup's
danger was collected by Dr. Calvin S,
White, state health officer. Five
guinea pigs, inoculated by Professor
Pernot, state bacteriologist, with
scrapings from public drinking cups
Portand, connected by Dr. White are
dead. One lost all its hair. Another
developed what were consider unmis
takable symptoms of tuberculosis.
AN ARTIFICIAL FROG.

from bis pocket and put it ea the
shelf of the roll top de.sk. It waa
too hot to work, mi the man at the
dek lazily tolerated the Interruption.
"You have read lu the columns of
the dally press." the caller glibly be
gan, "that the common, frog Is the
quickest and cleverest of nil fly de
stroyers. In certain Chicago shop win
dows frogs are uow li"g exhibited,
and the lively and thorough manner in
which they snare the unwary flies
draws large crowds of uniused watt-bent."
"Go on," snld the luau at the desk.
"Naturally," the culler went on, "a
good many people object to the frog,
which Is a somewhat cold and clammy
creature, and Its geuerul use will be
retarded by this fact. Onr Mr. Frisuy

I tell you, friend, Mark Twain's Jump

with Frlsby's fly snapper. And In the
winter time you can use It for a pa
perweight!" The man at the desk suddenly awoke.
"Say," he said, "I'll need a paper

then."
So the caller gathered up his frog
and meekly went bis way.-Cleveland

SOMETHING PLEASANT.
V AST winter I remember that the
Llr.f cioucii hung low
And before we'd finished dinner it
had started In to snow.
Oh, the north wind moened end rumbled
as It shook our window panes.
And a sheet of downy whiteness covered
fields and streets and lanes!
And at nve o'clock neit morning X wa
roused from slumber sweet
To shovel off the snow drifts and to start
the furnace heat.
Last winter I remember tkat I got back
home one day
And found my Nellie sitting In her furs
and heard her say:
"Hurry rlKht down to the furnace. . I've
been nearly frozen here.
I have shaken It and stoked It Bee what
you can do, my dear.
Why, this house Is something frightful)
You can even see your breath!
If you ran t get steam up quickly I'm
afraid we II freeze to death."
Last winter, I remember, I was roused
from slumber deep
To close the bedroom windows, for a littla
drifted heap
Of snow had blown upon us. When my
bare feet touched the floor
And 1 felt the Icy hardwood I let out an
awful roar.
I remember how she scolded for the an
gry words I said
When I bumped against a rocker as I
scrambled back to bed.
Last winter I remember that we woke
one day to find
That our water pipes were frozen. Oh, I
could recall to mind
Any number of such troubles If I had the
time or space
That the frigid weather brought us, trou
bles summer came to chase,
nut today as I sit writing with the sweat
beads on my brow
I like to recollect them! They'd seem
mighty pleasant now.

troubles so that I could hardly ait up.
Two of the best doctors In our town
treated me, and I tried different medi
cines, until I gave up all hope of ever
getting well.
On. day, I decided to try some Car
dui, It did bo much for me that I
ordered some more, and it cured me!
Today, I feel as well as I ever did In
my life.
The pains and the trouble are all
gone. I feel like another person la
every way. I wish every sufferer could
know what Cardui- will do for sick
women."
