We heard a man say the other
morning that the abbreviation fol
February-Feb.-means Freeze every
body, and that man looked frozen in
his ulster. 1t was apparent that he
needed the kind of warmth that stays,
the warmth that reaches from head to
foot, all over the body. We could
have told him from personal knowl-
edge that Hoods Sarsaparilla gives
permanent warmth, it invigorates the
blood and speeds it along through
artery and vein, and really fits men
and women, boys and girls, to enjoy
cold weather and resist the attacks Of
disease. 1t gives the right kind Of
warmth, stimulates and strengthens
at the same time, and all its benefits
are lasting. There may be a sug-
gestion in this for you.

The Holy Sabbath.

Remember the Sabbath day to keep
it holy" This is the fourth command
ment. 1t has we'll been called "a
bridge across life's troubled waters
over which we may pass to reach the
opposite shore-a link between earth
and heaven-a type Of the eternal day,
when the freed spirit, if true to itself
and to God, shall put on forever the
robe Of immortal holiness and joy"
There has been an awful letting
down in this country regarding the
Sabbath, and many a man, like Sam
son, has been shorn Of his power be-
cause he is not straight on this Sab
bath question. l honestly believe that
this commandment is just as binding
today as it ever was. 1t will be the
ruin Of this Nation if we give up the
Sabbath. Men seem to think they
have a right to change the holy day
into a holiday. We believe that the
Sabbath question today is a vital
question for the whole country II
you give up the Sabbath, the church
goes if you give up the church, the
home goes, and if the home goes, the
Nation goes. Is not this the direction
in which we are travelling? You want
power, do you? You want the old
Pentecostal power? You want the
dew of heaven falling on your brow?
You want to see men convicted and
Then, Remember the
Sabbath day to keep it holy"
First-A Day OF Rest The word
Sabbath comes from Shabbath, "a
day Of rest" or from Shabath, 'to
cease to do, to rest" This is the
and undoubted etymology.
This name in the old Testament was
applied to divers great festivals, but
principally and usually to the seventh

LET US NOT BE HASTY
A Few Things 1t Might Be Well for
the American People to
Remember.

A great deal is being said about
Japan being 'the weaker nation" and
that our sympathies should be with
the "under dog" and all that. And
again someone will venture the sug-
gestion as to which nation buys more
goods from the United States when
the question Of sympathy is under
discussion. But laying aside all
sentiment for the "under dog" and
the more prevalent sentiment of COM
mercial advantage, it may be we'll
enough for we of this big nation to
remember that the worst of crimes is
ingratitude, and that if ever one
nation has proved itself a friend to
another, Russia has so proved itself
to the United States, thrice saving us
from threatened destruction in days
Of gloom and trouble. Russia stands
as the traditional friend of America
from the very beginning During the
revolutionary war, when George III
was hiring mercenary troops from
every nation that would rent them out
to him for the purpose ofcrushing the
American colonies, he applied to
Russia, among others, for soldiers.
The reply Of Catharine, the great
empress, is matter of history. With
singing rebuke she refused her aid
to Great Britain and thus made it
possible for Washington's armies to
win. In 1912 Russia's friendly medi-
alton was persistently offered in our
behalf, and during the dark days of

the civil war she was openly and en-
phatically our avowed friend when
every other nation of Europe was
either secretly conniving at the dis
memberment of the union or hoping
for the same consummation. Russia
was not only our open-avowed friend
during the civil war, but was actively
such, and when England and France
approached her with a proposition to
recognize the confederacy she indig-
nantly refused and even went so far
as to tell our government what tactics
those other powers were employing.
What this stand on Russia's part
meant to the government in the dark
est hour Of its history only those who
know and we're a part Of that history
can understand.-Yamhill Reporter.

COnSuInp ptiOn

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
conSumptive SO and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the conSumptive needs
most.
Scott's sEmulSioniSthem
ern method of feeding fat to
the conSumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachS.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
Scott's Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hyPophos-
phiteS in Scott's Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

day Of the week. The first scriptura
notice Of the weekly Sabbath is founc
in Gen. 2:3, and hence it is frequently
argued that the institution is as old as
mankind, and is consequently OF
universal concern and obligation. In
Elk. 1929 we find the first incontro.
vertible institution of the day as one
given to, and to be kept by the children
OF Israel shortly afterwards re-enacted
in the fourth commandment It's aim,
as here exhibited, is evidently a
beneflcent one. OF all divine insti-
tutions, the most divine is that which
secures a day of rest for men.
Second-a Holy Day. I think we as
a rule forget the sacredncss Of this
day-'the rest of the Holy Sabbath. /"
Those who have most worthily hal
lowed the Lords day have most en-
riched all other days. Voltaire said
There is no hope of destroying the
Christian religion as long as the
Christian Sabbath is acknowledged
and kept by men as a sacred day." /
regard one of the great dangers which
threaten the day is the use of it for
purposes of worldly gain and pleasure
Third-A Day of Worship. The
best kind Of Sabbath is triangular
Sabbath. Man has three fold nature
physical, mental and spiritual. The
best Sabbath is the one that builds up
man in those three ways-that rests
his body, invigorates his mind, and
ennobles his SOUL
Fourth-A Day of Quiet A day of
meditation, closet accommodation with
God, and Bible study. No sound of
the chisel and hammer, and no
rustling of wheels everything hushed
in reverence before God. Truly, my
soul is silent before God; from him
cometh my salvation"
Fifth-The Lords Day. The Son
OF Man is Lord of all men and Of all
things that pertain to mans saliva
tion, therefore, he must of necessity
be Lord Of the Sabbath. Is it not
that the Sabbath should have
enemies, when it is so manifestly de-
signed to promote mans well-being,
instituted for his benefit, "made for
man?"
Sixth-The Reward. The rewards
Of Sabbath observance are found in
Isa 56 IL and So 1914.

Of Oregon the Legislature was called
in extraordinary session, and the very
first day they met, as if actuated by
one common impulse, the republican
members of both houses met in join
assembly and unanimously adopted q
resolution indorsing the administra.
ton Of Theodore Roosevelt and de
manding that he be nominated to lead
the republican party in 1904. Do you
suppose that those men did not mean
what they said or that they did not
say what they meant?
The other day there was in this city
an assembly of the leading editors OF
representative newspapers Of the
United States-strong men, inde-
pendent men, the men who do more
than all others toward molding and
making public sentiment in this
country. They resolved in favor Of
Theodore Roosevelt for president the
next time. Did they not mean what
they said? Did they not say what
they meant? What is meant by this
statement that everybody is for him
and nobody wants him when men Of
that character and organizations of
that character tell the world that he is
their choice for the presidency?
Let me tell you, sir, if you have any
doubt whom the people are for or who
their choice is, 60 down and ask the
laboring men Of this or any other
city. Go ask the hewers of wood and
the drawers Of water whom they are
in favor of, and they will tell you, and
the name they will give you is Roose-
velt. Go down in the anthracite coal
regions and ask the men who labor
there, whom they favor. They will
tell you, and the name they will give
you is Roosevelt. Go down among
the dwellers in the tenement houses Of
the great cities Of this country and
ask them-they we're threatened only
a few short months ago with inde-
scribable suffering because Of a short
age in the fuel supply.
Ask them who it was that came to
their relief, who had the courage to
bring the contending forces together,
and to see that justice was dealt out to
both sides and the country was saved
the cruelty and suffering that would
have been upon it but for that action.
Ask them who did it, and ask them
whom they are for and whom they
want to see elected to the presidency.
They will tell you, and the name win
be Roosevelt And if you are ltd
doubt, waiJ until lbs sveniGn sifa
eti1 uay OF November next, until there
are counted the ballots that will rain
into ballot boxes all day long with the
name Of Roosevelt electors on them,
and when that result has been an
nounced your doubt will vanish as
the mist before the rising sun, because
there is going to be the greatest
majority, in my judgment, given to
Theodore Roosevelt in November,
1904, that was ever given any man in
Ill the history Of this country.

FALLS CITY IS GROWING
Nearly Fifty Thousand Dollars Exc
pended for Improvements In
the Last Twelve Months.

Probably no other town in Oregon
has made as rapid and healthy growth
in proportion to its size as has the
enterprising town Of Falls City, Polk
county. With the advent of the Dallas
and Falls City railroad came new life
and energy and the once quiet country
village has grown into lively little
manufacturing town. Two big saw
mills are in operation and give en-
ployment to large number Of men.
The monthly payroll of these concerns
amounts to many thousands of dollars,
and the greater part Of this money is
spent with the home merchants. The
various lines Of business are we'll rep
resented, and the merchants are all
enjoying a profitable patronage. The
real estate market is lively, and much
property has changed hands in the
last few months. A system Of water
works for domestic and fire purposes
is being considered by the town coun-
Gil, and other public Improvements
are under way.
The following list of Improvements
for the year 1903 and the estimated
cost thereof will give fair idea Of the
progress that is being made by this
lively little lumber town.
