THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL If the only newspaper in Salem whose circulation is guaranteed by tbe Audit Bureau of Circulations, EGG CROP IS IN PANGER The food administration tells us, and correctly, that it would be a calamity if the production of eggs is curtailed. At the same time this is being done. The keeping of small flocks of poultry by city dwellers is gradually being done away with, and while this is in a sense but a small portion of the source of egg supply, it still is an important one. It represents a much larger proportion to the total egg production than do the war gardens to the vegetable yi old. Conditions are causing this source of supply to be almost entirely eliminated. The principal reason for this, in fact about the only one, is scarcity and high price of all materials used for chicken feed. Wheat is no longer available, and corn at four cents a pound is practically prphibitive. Yet without grain of some kind the city flock of biddies must go, or at least be reduced to such an extent that the table waste will measure the number of hens that can be successfully kept. As waste of this kind is reduced to a minimum, and is only a fraction of what it used to be in ante-bellum days, the one-time flock of a dozen or two will be reduced to a hen or two. inese a:e scarcely worth bothering with to the average person and yet, even the lone hen should be kept, since it saves that much waste, and adds that much to the food supply. It may be possible some scheme can be evolved that will to some extent overcome this handicap. Corn is selling in Chicago at around $1.45 a bushel, and of course at considerably less in the areas of production. Nebraska's corn sells for a sum about as much less than the prices quoted in Chicago as the freight from that section to the market This Should give a price of somewhere between $1.00 and $1.05 in Nabraska. Thi3 should permit the lay ing down of corn at coast points at a price not to exceed $1.70 a bushel, or three cents a pound. Even at this price it leaves little profit to the poulterer, but it will permit the city dweller to maintain the small flock which adds sol materially to the total production. Unless some way of reducing the price of the feed can be found it is only a question of time until the city flock? must go. Those own ing small flocks have resorted to all kinds of substitutes, 1 i 1 1 1 1 11 4 r 1 . 1 1 it ana tne Diaay as wen as ner owner nnus mat ner war bread" contains a large per centage of potatoes. At the same time there apparently must be a portion of grain added to get results in eggs, and it is along the line of supplying this portion, that maintenance or reduction of the egg supply depends. Only on one sector of the long western front are the 8c. and Treat, i allied forces exposed to the surprise attack threatened ty Hindenburgthe Rheims-Ver !cn front. To guaran tee this portion of the line against such attack, General Foch, as the war experts tell us, would have to move his reserves into that sector. But if this were done the de fense of Paris and the channel ports would be weakened. von Hindenburg might then try again for the channel or raris wun uenerai t ocn s reserves far away on the east ern side of the Marne salient. It is not probable that General Foch will risk being caught in such a trap. For this reason the Rheims-Verdun line may prove a tempting bait for Von Hindenburg. The American sector along the Lorraine front is nearby. Von Hindenburg may rea son that General Foch would have to draw upon the Americans to defend the Rheims-Verdun front, thus in terfering with tne allies plan to reserve General Persh ing's army as far as possible for its forthcoming major onensive. But, General Foch has demonstrated that he is capable j of avoiding this pitfall. If Von Hindenburg wishes to extend ms ironi east oi Kneims m exchange for a further slaughtering of German man power, General Foch may well give his approval to the plan. Operations east of Kneims would still further exhaust Von Hindenbi rgv reserves without in any way bringing Paris or the channel ports nearer German possession. t The Woman Who Changed J By JAXE PHELPS ! TEE WATS OF SOCIETY. Mrs. Story, once president of the Daughters of the American Revolution and a nationally prominent club- worker, has been arrested charged with misappropriating funds subscribed lor war charity work. Coupled with this news conies the report of the federal grand jury which states that fake war workers have multched the people of New York of at least two million dollars, and requesting that all war funds be taken under federal jurisdiction. The idea is a good one and timely; our peo ple are responding literally to the various calls for assist ance for the soldiers in France and they are entitled to full protection. They should be assured that their money is used for the purpose for which they contributed and no other. The government has its hands pretty full it is true, but we should like to see it handle all the public war subscriptions. , There is no insistent demand on the part of the people of Oregon that the state be presented with a brand new form of government, and if the present governor doej not like his job under the state's present form he can easily sidestep it. However, if it requires a real expert to pick out a form of government for us the cost of $200 a month cannot be considered unreasonable for the work. The governor gets double that amount and i.sn't an expert cn the job. A socialist member of the reichstag recently declared Austria was to blame for starting the war. By slow de grees the German mind is approaching the truth. In time it will learn the kaiser started the war. LADD & BUSH, Bankers ALL THE THIRD LIBERTY BONDS ARE NOW HERE. THOSE INTERESTED FLEASE CALL AT THE BANK ihe Oregoman is worried because the democrats maintain their party organization and are preparing to contest the elections in November. Of course it is all right for the republicans to turn their attention to the political game and the getting of a majority in both houses of congress if they can. At the same time here in Ore gon the State administration is doing nothing but playing pontics, mere is not an appointment made in any de partment of the state from the lowest up, but that the first requirement is that the appointee to be a republican. The state police, or whatever it may bewailed, is officered from the top down by republicans, the employes at the state institutions are the same; in fact every branch of tne state government is filled with republicans. We are net finding fault with this, but we do object to republican newspapers and those who are conducting the state's business on strictly political lines, -finding fault with the democrts for taking any interest in poRtQS. : As a matter of fact there are thousands of republicans given appoint ment, and filling high places under the democratic ad ministration. If the Oregonian will give a list of the democrats holding positions in this state under the ad ministration of Governor Withycombe it will confer a iavor on the people of the state by doing so. It is announced that Italy will celebrate the Fourth of July this year as a recognition of the United States enter ing the war, and as an expression of appreciation of her unselfish efforts to make the world safe for all of its in habitants This being the case, why should not the United States, reciprocate and as an evidence of appreciation of .Italy s great work in defeating the Huns and crippling the power of Prussia hoist the Italian flag under old glory on every flag pole? No higher compliment could be paid the Italians than this, and they are surely entitled to some expression of America's thanks for splendid work. CHAPTER CVIII. To nie the ways of society were most puzzling. The caustic remarks, the frank discussions of things which in my home town nexcT were talked about always made me feel sort of out of it. When I spoke to George of my feelings he eitlir- made light of them, or said I ''didn't understand," There were many tilings that I evidently didu't. under stand. I once talked in as impersonal way of Julia Collins to Geraldine Ross, la re sponse to something I said the returned: "Julia is a regular man's wenian," as if that excused anything she might do. . "Just what do you mean by a man's woman, Mrs. Ross?" I asked. "Oh, she makes hers?lf like them. She never fusses, she flatters them and makes them comfortable." "Yes, but she must do uiora than that to attract them as she does." "I don't know that I can explain. But I keep close tabs on Bert when she is around. She is always ready for any thing anyone proposes, she isn't a bit of a prude, yet she never has done any thing to get himself tabooed. If a man does something he shouldn't, like tak ing a drop too much or something like that she nev.or rakes him over the coalt just sympathizes with him because his wife does. Oh, she is clever, all right." Helen Is Enlightened As to Julia Collins' Methods. "But how can she know that his wife hauls liim over the; coals, as you say 1 1 askcu, my curiosity excited. "My but you are innocent!" Mrs. Soss exclaimed. "Why my dear Mrs Howard, Julia Collins is the confidante of half the men in our set. They all run to her for comfort when things go wrong at home. While 1 do not believe they complain of their wives, they let her see that they need sympathy, and come to her for it." "Bnt I don't see" I hesitated to say wkt was in my mind. That if Ju lia Collins did not care how much she hurt the feelings of tho wives: I should think, for her own sake, her reputation alio would hesitate to receive their husband's. I want you to understand one thing No one ever accused Julia Collins of anything wrong.," Mrs. Ross interrupt ed before I could put niv thought into words. "She is as cold as ice, and as haste. Ao ono else I know could do as slue does, and be liked bv other women like her immensely.

I Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason IN THE FIELD While others bear the sword and shield, where mighty armies meet, I'm busy in the harvest field, and shocking sheaves of wheat. I'm shedding sweat' instead of blood, it flows in endless tide, and as I wipe away the flood, my bosom swells with pride. I know I have not lived in vain, whatever you may say, since I can help to save the grain, and earn three bones a day. The sun beats down upon my back, it's hot, and hot ter yet, and all along my labored track, the ground is damp with sweat. The work is hard, I must admit, these burning days of June, and now and then I have a fit and now and then I swoon. But when this weary war is done, and you size up the gents who did their best to make the Hun look much like fifteen cents, a man like me you'll gladly meet, although I've splashed no gore; I shocked ten million sheaves of wheat, and then ten millions more. He clso serves, you doubtless know, who does the work at hand; who, barred from shooting up the foe, goes forth to till the land. I feel I am the one best bet the euv that's safe and sane; the ground behind is moist with sweat, as though there'd been a rain. 8KU l"X.,Hk. J WAS JUST ABOUT READOO GIVE UP Tanlac Overcomes His Troub les Says He's Never Seen lis Equal Statement after statement is now be ing made about Tanlac, tho medicine that is so widely discussed and tlis tributed throughout tho country and which is accomplishing such surprising and gratifying results. Earnest Edmunds who resides at G2 Cedar street, Seattle Wash., recently told of the wonderful results of Taulus in his case, and said: "I don't believo anybody ever suf fered worse from stomach trouble than I did, before I began taking Tanlac. I have had it so bad at times during the pnst three or four years that I thought I would go distractod. I simply couldn't digest anything and what little I did manage to eat, would lay in my stomach like lead. My food would in variably sour, and the gas formed by it, would rise up into my chest 1 most choke me, and tho pail would almost draw me double. Sometimes when these spells struck nw I felt like I would never pull through the day. For tunately for me my job is one whore I can work three or four days and then lay off sev.-'ral days, otherwise I doubt if I could havo held up as long as I did. I slept so poorly that I got no rest aid folt so bad that I was just about ready to give up entirely. "The day my wife brought me my first bottle of Tanlac I was lying on the Ued almost doubled up with pain The first few doses made mo feel bet ter. I have taken two bottles now, and have never found anything like it, al though I have tried about everything I ever heard of. I have not had a pain or a sign of indigestion since I finished niv first bottle, my appetite is great and I eat and digest j"' anything I want. I sleep like a rock every night and can do my work as well as I ever could. I don't know how much I have gained in weight, bnt I do know there is a wonderful change in my feelings and I am tellinjt all my friends what Tanlac has done for me. So I'm speak ing from experience when I say I be lieve it will help.

L."i!y wife caught a severe cold and has not been able to throw it off. During the last tew weeks, her left lung has given her a great deal of trouble and she has difficul ty in breathing and in raising her left arm. She thinks she has a touch of pleurisy. I have rubbed it with embrocation) and given her Cough mixtures. She ought not to open the kitchen window to get her washing, etc." Pleurisy means inflammation of the pleura which is the membrane covering the lungs and the wall of the chest cavity, the space between the two layers being an enclosure or pocket called the "pleural cav ity." One lung Is in each pleural-cav-lty, and there is a space between them containing glands, fat, etc., called the mediastinal space." Each pleural cavity Is entirely distinct from the other. Pleurisy may involve the pleura entirely or In part. In one or both lungs. It may exisj. alone, or in association with pneumonia or some other disease ot the lung tissue, and it frequent ly is difficult or Impossible to dis tinguish it apart, from the disease with which it Is connected. Not infrequently it is secondary to (the infections diseases which are so common among children, or to tuberculosis. Probably in the majority of cases tt Is followed by the formation of adhesions in the form of bands or cords, which attach the lung to the chest wall, are a constant source of trouble, and pain, and may last for an indefinite period. Pleurisy, particularly when it is primary or Independent of oher diseases, begins with chilliness, fever, headache, loss of appetite, pain in the side and general dis comfort In children, it may begin with Tomiting and a convulsion, as is so commonly the case when children re taken sick with any kind of disease. Pain is one of Its most constant and noteworthy symptoms; such pain is usually sharp, running from front to back. Is almost al ways in the side like a stitch or a stab, and frequently follows the course of one or more of the nerves which run between the ribs.' Sometimes it is also in the ab domen, Is aggravated by cough, renders breathing difikult and shal low, and ia intensified by pressure or by change of posture. Questions and Answers. A Reader 1.

A reasonable amount of ourdoor work for ono who it neurasthenic, is, one of the most desirable means of getting rid of this trouble; it is infinitely better than being Idle and brooding over ones troubles. 2. The training camps have been of the greatest service In develop ing the physical condition of thou sands of men, and I can see 'no reason why it would not be of ad vantage to you. M. B.Do you know of on hyp notic healert I have a peculiar ailment from which 1 have not yet .been able to get relief, and thought I might be cured by means of hyp notism Answer It I were you. I would f,ry and find some other way of get. ting relief from yonr trouble. Hypnotism Is useful In some In stances, bnt yon must remember that it Involves, usually, loss ot will power and loss of self-control, and it seems to me that one Is rare ly Justified In giving up these very Important qualities. A Sympathizer Yon stated, tome weeks ago, that taste and smell could not be restored after being destroyed. In my case a cure has resulted, and I would be glad if yo would inform your inquirer that restoration is possible. - Ansieer1 think I stated that if the nerves controlling the sense.) ot smell and taste were destroyed, there could be no restoration. In some instances, there Is a tempor ary loss of Jiese senses, which, as I stated, is restored when the causa Is removed. t I
