The average Swiss man is better physically and as x sol dier than the average American male, thanks to the system of compulsory military training in .Switzerland. (jet's under the hide, a dtatement like this, but it's true. Every male Swiss can shoot slraight er, run longer, march firther and en dure more than the averago male American. You havo only to know what the Swiss is taught, to do and what the average Amiicaui isn't I taught to do to realize that this is true. Every Swiss school boy must go to a gymnasium. , Every Swiss school must have, a gymnasium. It does'nt matter whether it's a church school or a business college or a fancy, high priced school for little Swiss Lord Fauntleroys; it must have a gymna sium. In this gymnasium must be taught daily, certain exercises prescribed by the government. The average American doesn't even know what, these exercises are. Now and then, it is true, after he's fattening up at thirty, the American answers an advertisement and pur chases some alleged scientific physical culture book and follows the instruc tions therein. Any Swiss school boy of ten could teach him a world of valuable things in this line. TRY SALEM FIRST 4LVM COUMtaCIAL CLUB By the time a Swiss school hoy is twenty he has developed his physique to its high iKint. lie has made his body as fine and strong as his particular body can be maic. Tiiis has been done scientifically and meanwhile, the call of his splendid muscles has driven him to football and other sports. That crowded Polo grounds in New York makes you sick, when yog look over these Swiss. You couldn 't get 10,000 healthy Swiss to sit around of an afternoon watching other men play a game. Each man wants to play him self. Hundreds of little sport centers are always ousy. That cheering grandstand at the Polo grounds filled with men that couldn't run to first base without puffing, is a disgusting thought, here m the war country. Anything in the world is better than that. Any pacifist must admit that even learning how to shoot, out in the country learning how to shoot with the intention of killing an enemy some day if you have to is better than the average American s silly mental par ticipation in baseball. Or, if you're too much ot a baseball fan, make it kelly pool. The average Swiss boy can out shoot the average American boy. r The Swiss boy belongs to a rifle club in his neighborhood. The club is sup ported by the community. His shoot ing costs him nothing. Let an American boy get the idea that he wants to be a sharpshooter. Where can he learn Where, in most cases, will he find the money to buy his rifle and ammuni tion? . Uich American boys, true enough, have opportunity to learn the art of shooting. Good shooting is among the accomplishments of almost every rich American youth. Hut the afer.igc American Ijov, no matter how deeply he may be stirred by his desire to learn how to defend himself and his country in war, is with out a chance unless he later in life de velops political or social ambition, and goes into the state militia. In his shooting, as in his physical training, the Swiss youth finds a world of fun. There are shooting matches in various neighborhood!. Finally, the champions of a canton are weeded out. They shoot against each other in semi finals and every year at licrne there is a great national shooting mat. h that draws throngs of husky shooting men from every corner of the little country. Warlike sports, says the pacifist. Yes, but it's a sport that keep Switzerland from war. And heseball and cricket never kept any country from war.

READY TO PAY $205.02 DOE TO AUTHOR OF "HOME, SWEET HOME" Washington, May 4 After GO years the United States is pre pared to pay to the heirs of John Howard Payne, author of "Home, Sweet Home," money remaining due to him from the treasury on his death at Tunis, April I, ls",2, while stationed there as American r.onsul. The treasury department is seeking information as to Payne's heirs. Salaries of Commissioners and Widows Pensions Are Both Jolted At the meeting of the Taxpayers' league lield Wednesday evening at the i eourt house, Joseph H. Albei t presiding, , Judge r. H. D'Arrv, Judge W. M. Bushey and Senator A. M. I.aFollette were called on to tell of the state meet ing of the league which they recently attended in Portland. The amount of money paid to the va rious commissions was too much, ac cording to Judge D'Arcy. Jf embers at j tending the state meeting felt that ; many men on the commissions were ; paid' from $3,000 to $4,000 a year who i could not earn half that amount in other occupations. Judge D'Arcy said that a resolution was puffier! favoring a taxpayers' lobby at the coming legisla I tnre. As all those interested in increas ing their salaries, as well as other sue- cial interests had lobbies, why not the taxpayers i Incidentally, the judge said that the only lobbving he ever did was when he anpeared before the legislature and ask ed that he and a few of his friends be reimbursed for the money paid in the purchase of 12 acres at Champoeg. The state already owned three acres, and as a patriotic act, the additional 12 had been purchased. The money was refund ed amounting to $1.2(15. "I do not believe in these pensions." said Judge D'Arcy. "'When people accept pensions, they arc In a condi tion of pauperism. Jleans of labor would be more felf respecting. We are building up a spirit of pauperism with the present system o'i pensions." "At first, the only way to be safe from n law suit was to pay every widow's pension bill th t came along." said Judge Bushey, "When the bill fnl widows' pensions first came up, wo men enmc from Multnomah county and helped pass the law."

' I ' -iN J E Eat Less Meat If You Feci Backachy or Have Bladder Trouble Take Glass of Salts No man or woman who eats meet regularly can make a mistake by flush ing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Heat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become over-worked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from tho blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous ness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. Tho moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at tended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of ,liid Salts from any pharmacy; tako a fablespoonful in a glass of water be fore breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urino so it no longer causes irritation, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-wnter drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications. oral widows pensions, the judge said that often children were left money, but that they would not receive it un til of age. In the meantime, the county was expected to bring up the children, although when they become-of age ihey would receive money left by their fath er. We need a strong lobby of intel ligent men from different parts of the state, that will investigate every bill. So many bills are introduced that no man can investigate all of them." At the Portland meeting, it developed that 00 per cent of tho cost of the Pa cific highway was paid by Portland. C. E. Spenec, master of state granges, was in favor of more market roads. During the past year, according to Judge Bushey, $2o,OoU had been paid on the poor account by Marion county. Half of this was for the widows' pen sions.' liight years ago, tho poor ac count was only $7,500, und unless some thing wus done to relieve the counly, the poor account would soon run far be yond the $25,000 of Inst year. Senator A. If. I.a Follettc, who also attended the state meeting, declared that Oregon was taxed more than any. state in the union, and he had the fig ures to prove it. In 1!I02, the per capita tax in Oregon was only $11.4.1, while in 1913 it was $:i(l.50. he net bonde indebtedness of the state, according t the senator, is now $n, while in 1002 it was $20.11, and in 1S!)0, only $7.90. While the population ot the state is in creasing at the rate of 7 1-2 per cent, tne ad vnlorum taxes have increased 37 per cent. As to the industrial condition in the state, Senator I.a Follette referred to a friend of his who intended to establish a cannery, but changed his mind after taking note of our labor laws. He re ferred also to the Oregon Packing com pany whose mnnnger was fined for vio lating the labor laws during the rush of the canning season, when he hud h house full of fruit that needed immedi ate attention, This nrm quit Oregon, said the senator, and moved to Wash ington.
