HOOD RIVER GLACIER SUGGESTIONS FOR HOME BUnnËjïs » ELEVATION OF OOBERLY with floor plana. r 1 L«.., «»4 xcono riou< Where the sixe of the grounds will permit, it is desirable to place most of the rooms on one floor, eliminating running up and down stairs. In Coberly the average family would not need the use of the second floor, except in case of an emergney. Besides living room, dining room and kitchen the first floor contains three bed rooms, sun room and l>ath. The plans call for two bed rooms and a sewing room on tiie second floor. However, this can be easily eliminated.

The executive committee for the drive, of which Truman Butler is chairman, has met and formulated plane for conducting the campaign. It la planned to distribute more equit ably the burden for the maintenance of the chamber -among the business men of the city by soliciting subscrip tions from a number of business firms who are not now represented in the chamber, and thus materially reduce the subscriptions of the present mem bers. The membership dues have been cut from 32 per month to 31, and the re duction should result in the signing - of .a substantial number of new mem bers. The executive committee in charge of the campaign is composed of Tru- • man Butler, E. O. Blanchar, F. 8. Kelly, H. O. Kresse. A. F. 8. Steele and Leroy Childs. The committee for the soliciting of members Is composed of the above committee and also the following members: Kent Shoemaker, Geo. R. Wilbur, F. A. Olmsted, R. E. Scott, W. 8. Dowd, Van W. Gladden. Chas. H. Castner, J. W. Bifton, W. A. Schaffner, S. J. Moore, Harold Hersh- ner, L. A. Bennett and V. R.

The plan, an outlined, seems most plausible and the figures so skillfully handled that the unwary taxpayer may almost be led to believe that a new high school could be built with no increase in taxes. Bnt be not deceived, O gentle reader, by this propaganda, for if a new union high school is built at a cost of 1200,000 more or less the tax payers of this community will have to pay for it School District No. 3 la already bonded to the limit and inasmuch as we already have ample room for the accommodation of our own pupils it seems altogether too magnanimous of us to wish to pay 50 per cent of the coat of a new union high school for the accommodation of tuition pupils from other districts. Many of our ranchers have building problems in their own districts and have not wholly recovered from the unprofitable fruit seasons that have preceded the last one and are in no position to assume thia additional financial burden.until such a time as their own stability Is assured. There is no desire on the part of School District No. 3 to exclude the valley children from the use of the present high school and if the build- TOMP With the advent of spring weather, the Oak Grove links of the Hood River Country club have become the magnet not only for scores of local folk dally but many motor up from Portland for a round of play Mrs. Elisabeth Routledge, of Portland, and her eon. Jack Routledge, well known in Portland golfing circles, have ar rived and have taken charge of the club house. Mrs. Routledge has al ready won popularity by her golfing lunches. Mr. Routledge wiU be the professional for the local club this year, and many are taking advantage of hia instruction ■ to better their game. The board of directors of the club has launched a campaign for 26 new members, which will bring the num ber to 200. The Initiation fee has been reduced to 338.51) for the lim ited number. • Truman Butler, mem ber of the committee engaged on the drive, baa just returned from south ern California, where he said he in vestigated dubs and found that the initiation fee ranges from 3300 to 37«), The club management is endeavor ing to make the local links among the most alluring of the Pacific uorth- west this year. mmm I UjySDAY, MARCH IVM; Ing is somewhat overcrowded a few rooms could easily be added to the present building at a small expense which would handle the situation very nicely. The argument that a new union high school would be a great attrac tion for prospective horde seekers would be more • than offset by their being confronted with such an ex- ceedingly high tax levy. Let it be understood that an ex pensive building or fine equipment does not necessarily mean better edu cational advantages as »schools are suppostrd to be character builders and the best means to that end would be a faculty of well traim-d, well chosen instructors. Also let it bq. understood that there is no fault to be found with the pres ent faculty as a whole, many of them taring men and women of high profes sional standing and unimpeachable character, some of them, however, be ing chosen because there were none other available who would accept the meagre stipend offered them by those in authority.* If this district can afford to spend more money for school purposes let it tar sja-nt for better sal aries that better instructors may be had for our boys and girls. Please absorb tile following: If this union of districts is formed, again let if be understood that District No. 3 will henceforth have but a one- seventh vote, but will always have 00 per cent of the expense to i>ay, not only in the building of this union high school, the hauling of the schol ars to and from their homes, etc., but any additional expense they may wish to tack on at some future date, as we will always have but one vote against six.

Two trainloads of golfers are to invade the Pacific Northwest in Aug ust with the intention of capturing temporarily all the golf links of Canada and the northwestern states as far as the coast, it has been an nounced by Harry B. McNeal, editor of Golfers’ magazine. Chick Evans, former professional champion; Capt. E. P. Carter, once Irish titleholder, and two famous professionals will lead the charge, while 300 other wielders of the mashie will lay down barrage of golf balls. The golf excursion, which is the first into the northwest country, is to travel in two trains, which will furnish living quarters. There will be two ear loads of players from Detroit, three from Cleveland, one each from such places as Toledo, Mil waukee and Grand Rapids, several from Chicago and miscellaneous cars of residents of smaller cities. The line of campaign will cover some 5,000 miles and before entering Can1 ada, will make its route through Montana, Washington and Oregon. Home 20 golf links are marked for attack. George Ade, Will Rogers and Opie Read will be taken along as peace emissaries and after over coming with a verbal barrage such places as 8t. PauL Minneapolis, Hel ena, 8pokane, Portland, Tacoma, Be attie, .and other Northwest cities, the invaders will enter Canada at Vic toria. Taking the stronghold, the golfing army will attack In succession Vancouver, Lake Louise, Banff, Cal gary, Swift Current, Regina and Win nipeg. A mustering out ceremony will take place at Duluth and the veterans will then prweed to Chicago where they are due August 16 after the campaign.

For five years there bas been a yearly reduction of from two to five mills, bringing the levy down from 32.5 to 19. There are chiefly two factors re sponsible for this reduction: Economy of administration by eliminating un necessary expenses, and the increased assessed valuation in the district due to public utility investments and tak ing in additional territory Hupt.

The New Gold Cure for Tuberculosis (By Frederick D. Stricker, M. D., collaborating epidemiologist of Oregon State Board of Health, in cooperation with the United States Public Health Service). It is not remarkable that gold has been considered since remote antiquity to have curative powers. Its rarity, its luster and above all its Incorrupt- ability or in modern terms, its re sistance to oxidation, make it the per fect metal. Many famous physicians have used gold in the attempt to cure disease. The theoretical cure, of a germ dis ease is simple. To effect it all we have to do is to find a substance that will kill the germ without killing the patient. Unfortunately, most disease germa cannot be destroyed in the pa tient’s body without endangering the life of the patient. Up to the present time these efforts have reuched their culmination in thd brilliant results secured by Ehrlich sad his w-workers in the use of arsenlqal compounds in syphilis and sleeping sickness. Com pounds of antimony, bismuth and sil ver have also been fenfid to be effec tive. A very large number of at tempts have been made to poison the tubercle bacillus within the human and animal body. In 1894 the gold cure had a run of popularity. The results were decided ly conflicting in regard to the value of gold as a curative agent, but it was definitely shown that gold com pounds have a strongly inhibiting offert upon the growth of the bacillus of tuberculosis in the test tpbe. The most recent experiments on gold in tuberculosis are those coming from the laboratory of Prof. Holger Moell- gaard in Copenhagen. He injects a gold compound which ha calls “San ocrysin,” a double salt of gold and sodium thiosulphate. The salt is en tirely harmless provided the tissues are healthy, a violent r< action, if they are tubercular. This severe reaction is a result of liberating large quanti ties of poison derived from the I bac- teria following their destruction by the gold salt. To counteract this ki Jurious effect a horse serum is in Jected which has been prepared ny injecting the blood of the horse with small quantities of dead tubercle ba cilli over a long period of time. Thia specially prepared horse serum is be lieved to neutralise the poison coming from the gold-killed bacteria. The claims for “Sanocrysin” as a cure for tuberculosis have not been proves. This cure is still in the experimental stage and much work must be done before it can be given to the world as a reliable treatment for tubercu losis. Tubercular patients are ad vised not to place false hopes in th* many exaggerated statements regard ing the gold cures that have been made by various people. In view of the serious danger in volved and In view of the extended study* now being made, patients af flicted with tuberculosis are cautioned not to be unduly, optimistic in regard to this treatment. No patient should discontinue the well-known methods for the cure of tuberculosis by proper regulation of their lives With special emphasis upon rest, food and fresh air under competent medical attention.
