TTTB DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL I. the only newspaper in Salem whose circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations IT WORKS BENEFICIALLY. Probably most people think of the federal employ ment service as something on a grand scale little fitted for the needs of the everyday citizen. When he hears the name he has a vision of handsome offices, with long lines of returned soldiers waiting at the door, each in his turn being assigned to the management of a railroad. It is a big thing, all right enough, and more employers and men ought to make use of it, not on account of its big ness but its practicability. The foreman of a construction gang out in lexas ap plied to the bureau for help. Bis' need was dire. The camp cook, true to his kind, had left without a moment s notice. In less than an hour an applicant for just such a job who had listed his name in the bureau files was at the camp. Dinner was served to the minute, and all was It is to be remembered that women thrown out of employment by the suspension of war work are allowed to list their names. It might be just possible that the housewife who took pains to inquire and leave her name would meet with as great success in locating a cook as the Texas contractor. . The federal labor bureau fills a real want in that it brings the jobless worker into 'touch with the job that is vacant, something that has heretofore not been at tempted in an efficient way. THAT REMARKABLE PEACE CONFERENCE. From some newspapers one gets the idea that Wilson is fooling the peace conference, and from other papers one gets the idea that the peace conference is fooling Wil son, and from others, that Wilson and the rest of them to gether are fooling everybody else. "You buy your paper and take your choice." After awhile, maybe, you may wake up to the fact that nobody is being fooloed except the pessimist who refuses to see the honesty, idealism and effective co-operation that are at work in Taris. The disbelievers are not so much to blame, though. No wonder the situation that prevails at the peace table is incredible. It is quite unprecedented for any assembly of diplomats to go about their work in so fine and gen uine a spirit. The former kaiser is said to be crazy. Had he still remained kaiser nobody would have noticed it, however. RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason . THEY STAY AT HOME. I had no chance to go to France and do some useful fighting; I had to stay from war away and earn my liv ing writing. I offered twice to put up ice with musketoon and saber; the sergeant said, "You're too well fed, too fat for martial labor. You're all knocked out, you have the gout I say it all with kindness swayed is your back, your feet don't track, and you have color blindness. Your head is bald, your withers galled, your knees are sprung and bandy; I cannot think how such a gink in war could come in handy. Go earn your bread," the sergeant said, "in safety and in quiet; men must "be sound not six yards round who'd quell that Teuton riot." And so you see, and you'll agree, I'm not to blame for staying far from the fields of swords and shields, where battle steeds were neighing. Yet I could weep, I feel so cheap, now that the boys are coming from scenes of gore on foreign shore, where shot and shell were humming. To think I sat sub merged in fat, and punched an old typewriter, when nav ies wrought and armies fought, and glory hailed the fight er! I was. mv friend, until the end, as hramless as a rec tor, and wrote wise saws, but never was a Conscienceless Objector!- The bill to authorize the insurance commissioner to open offices in Portland, virtually completes the removal of the department to that city. Already office files, rating and other records and paraphenalia are there and the bill now being put through this session leaves the bur eau at the capital one in name only. The argument that two-thirds of the insurance business of the state origin ates in and around Portland is admitted. The same could be said of every department, since Portland does prob ably two-thirds of the business of Oregon in all lines, and is aiming to dictate its politics as well, lne same argu ment would justify the location in Portland of every state institution and every state official,- and it is just this thing the Capital Journal is fighting the centering of all the business and political activity of the state in Portland. It is not in Salem's behalf alone that we are trying to arouse the people of Oregon to realize that the centraliza tion of all the commercial, industrial and political power of the state in one city is the greatest obstacle to the de velopment of the state, at the present ime, and one that promises to become insurmountable in tne luture. Sevmour Jones is makine a splendid record in his stand against the promiscuous salary-grabbing crowd led by Burdick. Jones is also making a very lair ana compe tent speaker. Before we pet through with the peace wrangle we are liable to forget what the war is about. THEWIFE By Jane Phelps. THE END OF THE OLD AND TUT BEGINNING .OF THE NEW LIFL. CHAPTER CLVI.

Mollio was working in one of the largo base hospitals which' had been es tablished in Now York.

But Mollio only laughed and went quietly on her way, knowing tho mail sho hail promised to marry not only understood but approved. Only oneo did Ruth and Mollio refer in any way to what had happened in the days whon Brian used to go to the little Greenwich Villago studio.

IT'S NOT YOUR HEART; IT'S YOUR TTTTV Kidney dhwnse is no respecter of per sons. A majority ef the ills afflicting .people today ran be traced back to the kidney trouble. The kidneys are the most important organs of the body. They are the fil .terers of your blood. If the poisons which are swept irom the tissues by the blood are not eliminated through the kidneys, disease of one form or another will claim you as a victim. Kiduey disease is usually indicated by weariness, sleeplessness, nervousness, despondency, backache, stomach trou ble, pain in loins und loner abdomen, (all stones, gravel, rheumatism, sciatica and lumbugo. 9 All these derangemeuts are nature's signals that the kidney r-rd help.

'We "will trust each other, so must you and Mollie," Buth said quietly. Only in that way can a husbend and wife know true happiness together." "There is Bachel calling us to din ner. Now that we have, settled all the future, let's get busy with the present and e&'t," said Brian brightly, and his arm closed tightly about Buth's waist as they walked into the dining room. THE END A new story by Jane Phelps, entitled The Promoter's Wife," will begin tomorrow: This is a story of a small town girl who marries & city-bred young man upon slight acquaintance.

CITY NEWS DAILY HEALTH TALKS A Single Remedy Often Ourea Many Diseases (By Valentine Mott, M. D.) It is almost impossible to give a list of tho endless diseases that fol low indigestion. Perhaps a whole col umn in this newspaper would bo requir ed "to print thorn all. You eat to keep alive to' supply blood and flesh and hone mill mumlo and brain. It is easy. to see that if your food is not digest ed and UiKivn up by tho delicate or gang and distributed where it is need ed, a disease of somo sort is sure to eomo. Dyspepsia is a common symp tom, and so are liver complaint, loss of flesh, nervousness, bad memory, diz ziness, sleeplessness, no appetite. Many times, when neglected, indigestion re sults in coughs, throat diseases, ca tarrh, brouchitis and even more dan gerous thiiiiis. And all thoso disorders arise because the food is not properly: digested in tup stomach. It is plain even to a child that relief and cure are to be had only by setting up a healthy condition in the stomach. Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., ninny years ago cumbined a number of vegetable growths into a temperance remedy for indigestion, and oalled it Golden Hect ical Discovery. It is probably the most efficacious discovery ever mado in medicine, for the list of people all over the world who have had their countless ills overcome by Dr. Pierce's Golden Nfodieal Discovery makes an amazing total of thousands. I know of no advice better than this: Begin a home treatment today with this good vegetable medicine. It will show you better than 1 an tell you what it will do, When taking Hold ea Medical Discovery, yon can rest as sured of one very important thing it contain neither alcohol nor opintea. There is nothing in it but standard roots and herbs that possess curative properties of a high order. A safe med icine is the only kind you can afford to take. Harry scott returned last night from Portland where he attended the North west Harley-Davidson dealers confer ence, held in that city on the 4th and 5th.

The butter -and egg market, which has been 'gravitating toward zero for tho past two weeks, has finally got a grip on itself and shows signs of grac ing up a oent or two. One reason is i tho heavy shipments into the Sound country from Portland. The present low prices show a fall of 30 cents a dozen and a drop of 20 cents pound on butter from the holiday prices. Those are nbout the only commodities in tho Salem market that have given tha lmnsewifo ftnv relief, tho only vegetable that showB a weakening be ing tne numoio potato wnicn noouuy loves anyway.

Not knowing you well, I, of courso thought him bored. I thought you did not carp for him, that your work absorbed yuu.

''When are you going to marry hlmf " "That's what I want to know!" The Major and Brian entered very quiotly. Tho tw0 women had been -so interested, they had not heard them. Mollio blushed delightedly, and look ed so pretty that Buth exclaimed en thusiastically: "I don't blame you, Mcjorl If I were in youi place I should earry hor off in spite of herself."
