ARROGANCE COUNTER-BALANCES INTRIGUE
JGIerman intrigue has accomplished much and has
caused the war to be extended far beyond what it other
wise would have been. As trickster and trouble makers
the junkers are at the top. It is a fortunate thing that
with this trait so pre-eminently developed they have not
a particle of tact in handling a situation. or a people after
they have gained the one and fooled the other. They
cannot stand prosperity, and they cannot treat a con
quered people with decency. This is no doubt due to the
idea inculcated in the German brain for the past fifty
years at least, that the German is a superman. He can
not treat those with whom he comes in contact, especially
after having got the better of them with common decency,
or meet them as equals. In six months the arrogant Prus
sian has undone in Russia what the trickster Prussian
was three years in accomplishing. The Russian people
will soon be forced together again to make common cause
against their deadliest enemytheir friend, the Junkers.
Ukraine and Russia will get together again, first, because
of their common blood and second, because of a common
object, the preservation of the Slav race.
v Former Governor West's senatoral candidacy seems
explained by his proposal to get out of the way of Senator
McNatry, providing all other candidates will do the
earner This indicates what most people suspected when
West's announcement was made--that there was an un
derstanding between the two politicians and that they
would not run against each other. It seems now that
West's' candidacy was sprung merely for the purpose of
bargaining with theother aspirants in hopes of clearing
the field for McNary. Anyway, the West proposition
should bring the democrats to their senses and if they
tiave any regard for their party or the least political self
respect should cause them to nominate Judge King for
their senatorial candidate. No one for a moment be
lieves that West, if nominated, will make the race
against McNary.
The fighting around Ypres yesterday was fierce and
continuous. After a tremendous artillery battle the in
fantry was hurled at the allied armies at several points
hut no gains were made. It is claimed a heavy toll of
human lives is being taken, and that the German losses
are such that the German preponderance of man-power
ia rapidly passing away. When it does it is gone forever,
for just now the German armies are at their strongest,
with the empire combed to provide every available man.
Germany is staking her all on this drive, and if she fails
it will then be a defensive. war for her and one which
before long should wear her out. When the war is carried
onto German soil there will be a sudden end to it for with
a losing fight before them the German people will not
stand for further sacrifices.

"You never miss the lager till the keg runs dry," is an
old saying and a true one. While the lager is no longer
present in sufficient quantities to make the comparison
especially ape, ic is goo.d enougn to call attention to the
way the auto owners, or users, get away with the gasoline.
While it is nearing a shortage that will cause its use to be
stopped only for absolutely necessary business, the heed
less American continues to burn it regardless of conse
quences. Auto's are driven thousands of miles daily here,
in Marion county and for no other reason than that the
cars are handy and the riding pleasurable.
As illustrating the difference between the American
government and that at Berlin the treatment of indigent
aliens is apt. Secretary Lansing has made arrangements
for the care of the families of such interned aliens as are
in need. The assistance to them will be given through the
Swedish and Swiss representatives in this country.
S. B. Houston, candidate for the nomination for
United States senator on the republican ticket has slug
ged his slogan, smashed his platform and quit the race.
This leaves it between Stanfield and McNary. On the
democratic side it is also a race between two,. West and
King. ; : . i ! :

The weather has been ideal for all kinds of fruit, and
under average conditions there will be one of the biggest
orchard crops the country has ever known. Continued
dry weather during the pollinization has insured heavily
laden limbs, and there should be a cherry crop that will
be the record for years. Now that this matter has been
attended to by kind old Dame Nature, she might vary the
program profitably by sending a little rain. The winter
has been ideal for wheat and the growth is such as is
seldom seen even in the Willamette valley at this time of
the year. Just a little rain to soften the top of the
ground is all that is needed, and the crop can go for some
lima yet without suffering much, damage.
It is reported the Germans are putting three more big
nws in place to continue the bombardment of Paris.
While the noble junkers may kill a few women and mur
der a few more babies the big guns will win them noth
ing but will accentuate the supreme contempt in which
they are held, and in which future generations will still
hold them.

Judge Graves both turned the offer of the position down.
This left the opening for the author of the Anabasis.
Now that all the military men and most of the
politicians have wired daily that America will have to
furnish the man power to win the war," let us all accept
the statement as a fact and save telegraph tolls and wires.

I had some reading matter and my
candy. The ear was crowded, and I en

the people, speculating upon their rela

"Baby is very good, but I haw) been
traveling nearly four days and I am
tired," she said, as she put the little
darling on my lap.
I was surprised when sho returned
half an hour later. It hadn't seemed
ten minutes. Th.e barty had cooed and
laughed, played with my watch, and
been altogether adorable. I never had
thought much about children. I guess I
was 1oo young. But, all suddenly, I

They poke some fun at Secretary Baker but just the

kept her over an hour while the mother
slept. Then when she came for her, w.e
talked a while. Her name was Grant.
Mrs. Grant, and she had called the babv
"Nellie." '
It sound funny In sav it. but no
name seemed to appeal to either my hus-
oanu or i except the name President
Grant's dnuglitexJiad. So we iust gave
it to her."
"Nellie Grant." I said it aloud. "Yeh
I think perhaps I should havo f.dt the
same. It would be hard to think of an
tl -her name for a little Grant girl."
Time urags.
Mrs. Grant left the train about threi
o'clock. Sho told me her husband was
to meet her. That sho had been visitiig
her mother in California for six weelu;
nd that she was afraid lie would not
know the baby, she had grown jo.

Awn where she got off, I pag,rly watch
ed the meeting between her and the tall,
brouzed, young fellow who met her. He
was dress-.Hl like an engineer, or some
thing of that sort, but she just lun,;
to him and his face fairly shone, j
watched them almost as longingly as 1
had my own people when 1 left them.
They seemed so awfully glad to see each
other. AWFULLY was too only word
that expressed it.
I wondered how Geo'rgo would meet
me. He wonld probably kisB me. He had
kissed me good-bye. But he would think
it bad form to show such delight ns
that young fellow had shown. Ho would
kiss me once, ask me if I had a good
time, and help me into the car.
Would he be glad- :'.o see me, really
gladt I hoped so. I felt so anxious to
present a good appearance, that I tried
to get a little nap. I closed my eyes and
rested, but could not sleep. I had too
much to think about. The afternoon
dragged dreadfully. And no one on the
raiu was happier than I, when tlvj por
tor called:

THE PATIENT PEOPLE
How patient are 'the people ! Their patience
rings the bell; it's higher than a steeple, and
deeper than a well. They hear pro-German
praters uplift their ears and bray; they see
potential traitors around them every day.
In other lands . such critters would back
against a wall, and there they'd take their
bitters---some buckshot in their gall. But
we've a sense of humor, and we have mere
ly laughed at treason's noisv boomer and
3 kultur's vicious graft. But patience, though
1 elastic, will break, if stretched too far: and
,'"u r'"-'-T,J ovmv. incuouiia uiaaiiw liic itujilc tail
ing are. Oh, now and then some fellow who
fails to do his bit, is painted lemon yellow, and told to hit
the grit. And now and then some slacker, who wears his
face ajar, some cheap pro-German slacker, receives a coat
of tar. The patience of the peopk is mighty hard to
break; it's higher than a steeple and wider than a lake;
but it's been sorely tested, and when it breaks away, it
cannot be arrested by any mortal jay. So let the fools
take warning while now the signs they see, or they may
be adorning a lamp-post or a tree.

YOUR HEALTH
By ANDREW F. CURRIER, M.O.
Sub-acidity of the Stomach. II.
No organ of the body gives peo
ple more trouble and distress than
the stomach, though It also gives
much pleasure and satisfaction.
Its troubles range from tho sim
plest dyspepsia to the serious ulcer
and the fatal cancer.
Especially after maturity, when
people are constantly Indulging in
all sorts of Improprieties in eating
and drinking, Is the stomach prone
to be rebellious and refuse to submit
to maltreatment.
The stomach is at work so many
Hours out of the twenty-four, it is not
strange it should give out and show
Its exhaustion by disease.
All kinds of food pass into this
organ, but It digests only the pro
telds or albuminoids.
The mucus secreted by lta glands
gives moisture and sllpperlness to
the food mass, and the hydrochloric
acid and pepsin digest or liquify it
These substances mj be in ex
cess, they may be deficient, and In
rare cases they may be absent.
Sub-acidity, or hypochylia, means
there is not enough of them for
digestive purposes, Just as la super
acidity there Is too much.
Sub-acidity Is less common than
super-acidity, occurs oftenest with.
those who have soma kind of nerv
ous disorder and Is unattended by
Inflammation or gastritis.
It comes and goes and alternates
with periods, when there is too much,
hydrochloric acid.
This fact is determined by ex
amination of the contents ot the
etomacit removed when digestion ia
at its height.
Connected with sub-acidity Is a
condition known as "atony" of the
stomach; which means that the mus
cular coat Is more or" less paralyzed
and does not contract and churn: lta
contents about, which is an .essen
tial part ot the digestive process.
The conditions causing sub-acidity
may continue until, at length, no
acid at all Is secreted, which would
mean that some of the tubules which
produce gastric Juice have atrophied.
or withered, and will be of no fur
ther use.
If there is only moderate sub-acidity,
there may be no urgent symp
toms of any kind; but if the con
dition persists, anaemia may de
velop with possible termination la
cancer, hence the matter must not be
neglected.
The ordinary symptoms, are dis
comfort and a sense of weight and
fullness when digestion is- going on.
want of appetite, belching, head
ache, dizziness and constipation.
In treating it, the general con
dition should be improved by simple
food, a glass of hot Water befora
meals, sleep In abundance, out-door
exercise, sunshine, and freedom, from
worry if possible.
Should the disease become very
troublesome, the contents of tha
stomach should be examined and a
course of treatment Instituted by ona
who Is familiar with stomach dis
eases. '
