They have found their plans failures, and their great assemblage of "cannon fodder" useless for any purpose other than that just mentioned. They had expected to force their way through the allied defenses without much trouble and WISCONSIN REDEEMED Hindenburg openly boasted that he would eat dinner in Paris April First. It may be he intended this as an April Fool joke, for that is what it has turned out to be. The date is well past and Hindenburg is bossing the job of digging trenches in order to save his decimated army from annihilation. In order to accomplish this result he v,o0 cnrrifippH mnra than half a million of the flower of the German army, and this according to the report made by neutral experts. It is claimed he naa a-minion anu a quarter of men when he began the smash and he now has three quarters of a million left, and these are more or less disheartened and discouraged. More than that the kaiser who had invited the newspaper correspondents of neutral nations to accompany him to the front and to write up the "great victory," has been compelled to postpone his entrance into Paris and also to request the correspo dents aforesaid not to give the story of his "victory," too much space. The truth of the matter is that the kaiser has dis covered that his great drive is much like the attempt of the Arkansas man to shear a pig for wool, he found it was "shear nonsense." Wisconsin has made answer to the charge that her people were pro-German and indorsed the sentiments ex pressed by LaFollette. The returns indicate that Lenroot, republican, is elected by a majority ranging between 7,000 and 10,000. Berger the socialist and traitor was nearly fifty thousand behind Lenroot and 40,000 behind Davies, the democrat. He had about 80,000 votes, or about 25 per cent of the total cast. The day before election he had boasted in his paper that he would poll more than half the total vote. It is pleasing indeed to read Wisconsin's answer to her traitorous adopted sons who misrepresented her to the world. Berger, yesterday after knowing how badly he had been repudiated, said in an editorial in his paper, that it was "a stinging rebuke to the administration." If so what was it to such double distilled traitors as Victor Berger? Now that the state has expressed her opinion that next thing she should do to protect her good name is to intern her Bergers, or deal with them as their own masters, the Prussians, would treat them in like circumstances. Rippling Rh ymes f ' The surgical dressings department of the Red Cross in this city needs more workers. Certain orders.have been placed with Willamette chapter by the district headquar ters and these must be filled and the supplies shipped by a specified date. If workers do not show up this work can not be done and the chapter will go on record as having failed in its duty-something that the women of Salem should not allow to happen. All the work is voluntary, no salaries at all are paid by the local chapter, and the only appeal that can be made is to the patriotism of the people of Salem to keep their Red Cross chapter abreast of those in neighboring cities. The business women's club, meeting weekly at night and composed mainly of girls from the stores and offices, has turned out double the number of workers that have reported during the day. This fact is taken by the Red Cross workers to mean that there is a lack of interest among the women of the city which they hope will disappear whnn the gravity of the situation is thoroughly impressed upon them. : While ship builders of the Atlantic coast are accused of falling down hard despite the fact Ihey had all kinds of advantage over the Pacific coast yards, the latter have turned out 4f per. cent, almost haf the total production. More than that they are now wagering each other on launchings and on the total number of ships, and are pre paring to make a world's record. Back east there are still such things as strikers. Is it possible that patriotism among the laboring classes is a dead sentiment in the east? If so a sample or two or the real patriotic article should be sent from this coast to give that section a sam ple to measure up to. When the war is over, in sending foodstuffs to those countries that have been on short rations, all should be taken care of before Germany is allowed to receive any. This because it has been her ruthlescness that has caused a ship shortage and consequent difficulty in supplying the world with its foodstuffs. While she has been the hungri est of the lot she should be made to wait until the last. by Walt Maaon OUT IN THE COUNTRY If , 1 ' . f - N j I jfe t 7 ,i ) Kzia No democrat can remain in the employ of the state under any circumstance, under Governor Withycombe's decree.

One of our Tellers will be stationed in our Lobby to explain to those wishing information and to receive Liberty Bond Subscriptions. Let's seek the rural regions, in pastures let us stray, where costly calves, in legions, and hih-priced lambkins ' play. Now spring with flowers in wreathing the landscape everywhere, and there's ho charge for breathing the wholesome country air. 'ihe country is enchanting upon- a smiling morn, when husbandmen are planting two-bones-a-bushel corn; my thoughts I cannot utter, as I go drilling round, where ; wives are making butter that brings six bits a pound. The nights are growing shorter, the bright days longer grow, and hens, once worth a quarter now bring -a -buck a throw. Where crystal streams are flowing, I see the cattle browse; the laughing maids are going, to milk the spangled cows. I say, "Oh, girls, I'm hollow, I'll have some milk, I think." They say, "All you can swallow, at twenty cents a drink." Where sunbeams lightly quiver upon the wood ed flat, 1 drink the brawlin river there is no charge for that. The sighing zephyrs bring me the song of babbling rill ; the bees come up and sting me, and don't present a bill. Lets seek the rural mazes, the lane and lonesome pike; some things are cheap as blazesthe climate, and the like. YOUR HEALTH By ANDREW F. CURRIER. M. D. This term means pain in a nerve or nerves, and in reality may not be distinguished, at leant in severe cases, from neuritis; for thoro is probably no severe case of neuralgia Neuralgia. Inheritance. Its treatment depends largely upon its cause. Those who live in cold, damp, malarial, or otherwise un healthy climates, may be cured by a In which there are notmore.or fever, chango of residence to a, location Inflammatory changes 4a the struc ture of the nervo which .is the seat of pain. Neuralgia Is often designated by the name of the nerve In which the paia is seated, the facial, the sciatic and the intercostal being most fre quently attacked. But neuralgia may also be symp tomatic of a distinct disease Ilka gout, rheumatism, mineral poison ing, malaria, diabetes or excessive use of tobacco. It may alao be reflected from dis ease of the eyes, the teath or the in ternal organs. Neuralgic pain may be stabbing or darting, but It may also be dull and aching, burning or tingling, gouging or boring, or suggestive of crswling insects. It may also be- intermittent or paroxysmal, variable In severity, lastir- a few minutes at a time or hour., and" continue at shirt inter vals for days, months or years. It may be so severe that the pa tient will lo9e reason and self-control and take hts Tffe. It is most Intense at tho surface, tmt there may bo sorer, ass along the entire track of the nerve. It may come suddenly, or ba pre ceded by scronasa aad Pt'ffr.cs; it may como la connection with mala ria and seem to be a part of it. It may be atcoiupstniod by a feel ing of coldness, or an eruption on the skin, or with muscular twitching or nausea and vomiting, or tha hair may fall out, or turn grey. An r-ttaclt may have no apparent exciting cause, or it may follow grief, fright, or any intense emotion, ft draught of air, or fatigue, or severe cold. It is more common in cold than in w&ria weather, in women than In men, aad is most frequeut in uiiddis "1 Its victims are usually those of jservuu temporazaeTit vrith neurotic which is more salubrious. Dietetic treatment is also Import ant, especially for those who have abused their digestive apparatus by excesaos in food and drink or even by nsing food which "was not Baited to them. The pain may be relieved by so simple a measure as giving the diges tive organs a rest or a comparative rest. Surgical operations are sometimes curative, including the stretching of the sciatic nerve, removal o a por tion of the facial nerve or even ot the gang' ion from which It origi nates, or Injecting alcohol into it. The painful surface may be blis tered or cauterized, rubbed with stimulating liniments or exposed to X-rays, light rays or galvanism. There are also many drugs which are ot tha greatest value, including the coal tar preparations, iron, arsenic, strychnia, phosphorus, quia iujt and aconite. But It may happen that all tbeaa measures will be resisted and the case will prove the despair of the pa tient and his friends, as well as of the doctors wiia ara powerlaea to cure him.

When Itching Stops There is one safe, dependable treatment that relieves itching torture and skin irri tation almost instantly and that cleanses and soothes the skin. Ask any druggist for a 35c or $1 bottle of zemo and apply it ps directed. Soon you will find that irritations, pimples, blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm and similar skin troubles will disappear. A little remo, the penetrating, satisfy ing; liquid, is all that is needed, for it banishes most skin eruptions and makes the skin soft, smooth and healthy. Tbe E. W. Rose Co.. Cleveland, O.
