| E. F. Trueax, who fell distance of 30
feet from bridge 81, west of Summit,
Tuesday afternoon and was badly injur
ed, came in on the train yesterday and
was driven to his home a miles east of
Corvallis When the accident occurred
he was standing Oh narrow plank assist
ing in raising heavy timber into place.
In some way the rope used in elevating
the timber slipped, causing Mr.. Trueax
to loose his balance. In falling he struck
| several ti1nbers before reaching the
ground, thus reducing the force of the
fall. which, while resulting in numerous
painful bruises, no doubt saved him from
instant death.

When person begins to grow thin there
is something wrong. The waste is greater
than the supply and it is only question of
time when the end must come.
In nine cases out of ten the trouble is with
the digestive organs. If you can restore
them to healthy condition you will stop the
waste, put on new flesh and cause them to
feel better in every way. The food they eat
viii be digested and appropriated to the sys-
tom. and normal appetite will appear.
Consumption frequently follows wasting
of bodily tissue because nearly all consump-

Following nature is the best way.

age, like Matted Koffee-Kola, is the on
ly safe, certain and natural stimulant
to take.
Malted-Koffee-Kol Is a Shaker non
Intoxicating stimulant which cures ner-
vousness, headache, neuralgia, indiges-
ton, loss of appetite, low spirits, and
the results of mental worry and over
work, li4
1t is a wonderful builder for old peo-
pie and convalescents,
Stimulants have been used in all ages.
They are a necessity. But only food
stimulants can give real strength with
out weakness.
Matted Koffee- Kola Is a food stimu-
liant. 1t makes strength and keeps it.
1t creates lasting energy. 1t clears the
brain and braces the body.

Now, the country editor, by the ne
cessities of his environment, is under
sacred obligations to his subscribers to
give chem the best of which he is in
teMectually capable. In a farming COM
mlnity he Is q guide, philosopher and
friend quite as much as, if not more
than, the preacher, He, more than any
one else, is enabled to keep in touch
with the outside world. The new i'm
pressions and the standards Of the
world at large, its great movements
and tireless energies, the words and
deeds of it's great men, its thoughts,
problems, refroms, and inventions, and
all its multifarious interests, come to the
editors desk day by day and week by
week through the medium of the ex-
change list, however remote he may be
from the nerve centers Of the nation. To
study these things and to interpret them
in their true meaning, dis he under
stands it, should be his duty and his
privilege. In community where
books are scarce and social and intel
lectual intercourse limited, and where
in many households the county week
ly is practically the only reading matter
he could be- though too often to-day he
is not, relatively as important a public
servant as the editor OF a metropolitan
paper of enormous circulation. know
several country editors who stand to-
ward their subscribers in exactly this
rela ton, cultivated, conscientious, high
minded men, who are proud of their
work, and who strive to make their
papers welcome visitors and powers for
the right. l admit that Of this class
there are few to-day compared with the
number of them who belonged to pre-
vious generation. This is due, believe,
to the tendency of men Of capital, in
dividually or in cliques, to own news
papers purely as inyesments or for po-
litical ends, or to help Poom the town. =

sically impossible for any brain to keep
