CHILDREN AFFECTED
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched
into life with constitutions weakened
by disease taken in with their moth
er's milk. Mothers cannot be too care
full as to the food they use while nurs-
ing tLeir babes. The experience OF
Kansas City mother is case in point:
Il was a great coffee drinker from q
child, and thought could not eat q
meal without it. But found at last
it was doing me harm. For years
had been troubled with dizziness, spots
before my eyes and pain in my heart,
to which was added, two years ago,
chronic sour stomach. The baby was
born Z months ago, and almost from
the beginning, it, too, suffered from
sour stomach. She was taking It from
me!

Awful Cost Of War.

"A comparative estimate OF the
losses OF Russia and Japan in the
first year of the war is given in a
recent issue of the London Daily Mail.
The total casualty list on both sides
is set down at 10000, of whom 1000
were killed Or drowned at sea, ire
spective of those who died of disease
or privation or were taken prisoners.
The figures for the Manchurian cam
paign are given as $3.50 Japanese
and 111,0O0 Russians killed and
wounded, the prisoners being esti-
mated at 600 and 3,4S3, respectively.
In the Port Arthur operations IS, 900
japanese and 11,400 Russians were
Killed or wounded, and $4,000 Russians
captured. In addition to this, 1899
japanese and 2,527 Russians were lost
ct sea. Of superior officers, the Rus
slams have lost eight generals (in-
Guiding Count Keller and Gen. Kon-
drachenkol and one admiral, while
eight generals and four admirals sur.
rendered at Port Arthur. So far as
is known the Japanese have only lost
two generals. In regard to material,
the Russians have lost 800 guns, seven
battleships, 10 cruisers and a quantity
OF other vessels of a total value Of
if16,50O,0O0, while the Japanese have
lost Is guns, one battleship, four pro-
tected cruisers and two coast-defense
ships. Finally, the total cost of the
war is estimated at 9160,O00,0O0, of
which s1O7,0OOOO0 falls to Russia
The figures are tremendous, and it is
difficult to read them without a Ger
tain sense OF shame at the way in
which our trifling losses during the
Boer war were written and talked
about. Our excuse must, we suppose,
be that minor operations often cause
more pain to patients than those which
are great and serious. -

THE HOPEFUL WORKER
That which you do to-day may seem

That which you do to-day may seem
SO perfect in its every part, +
So fine, so splendid, that you deem
It's sure to win mems praise. Your hear
Is filled with hope, and in your pride
You see the near enchanting CLEAN
OF sweet success, long, long denied.
Tomorrow, when you turn to view
The work you proudly do to-day
A hundred flaws may stare at you,
But bravely you shall work away;
To-Morrow's task will then appear
To give the promise, to renew
The hope that triumph still is near.
Thus day by day our hopes are slain.
And day by day new hopes arrive.
We lose. but splendidly we gain
As long as pride is kept alive.
Though glory never may be won
We triumph still while hopes remain
To urge US as our tasks are done.

exhibit for the Lewis and Clark
Fair left here yesterday. Today
Judge Walters, F. P. Sheasgreen,
Prof. Coote, H. L. French and
son will go to Portland to arrange
the exhibit and complete all
decorations, etc. This work will
only require few days and then
the party will all return save Mr..

there permanently in full charge
of the exhibit during the Ex-
position.
June 1st Roy Raber will go to
Portland and remain permanent
ly with our exhibit maintaining
what may be considered ax iu-
formation bureau. Henry L.
French will be back and forth
between here and Portland as
the occasion demands, but the
Egreater part of his time will bs
devoted to gathering articles o1
exhibit throughout the county
and sending them down to the
Fair.
It is the desire of all thoss
handling our exhibit to have i
ever-changing, and new things
fresh fruits and vegetables, any
thing in fact, that is of interes
is eagerly sought for our exhibit.
Now, why is it that our people
show so little interest in thi!
matter? They surely have no
the excuse that they are ignoran
of the numerous requests tha
have been made. So far, onl,
some half dozen citizens hav
interested themselves in assisting
with the exhibit to the extent o
voluntarily bringing article
suitable for display to head
quarters here in town.
: Everything that has been col

effort on the part of a few. I
has been "drummed" together
to use the term. This is no
only bad for US, but discouragin;

effort to show our county's re

James Robinson.
The death of James Robinson,

The death of James Robinson,
a pioneer of this county, occur
red Tuesday at I o'clock. at his
home near Wren. His death is
attributed to gangrene of the
lungs, in reality consumption.
He was aged IS years.
James Robinson was son of
Bennlah Robinson, who came to
this county in 1851 and took up
a donation land claim. Benniah
Robinson had three children,
James and two daughters; one
daughter, Mrs. William Hamil-
ton, mother of DR.. Ben Job and
Zephin Job, is some years de-
ceased but the other daughter, Mrs.
Margaret Straight, sister of James
is yet alive and is resident OF
Walla Walla, Wash.
James Robinson grew to man
hood in this city, and some ot
his old schoolmates are still re.
siding here-John Stewart is one
of them. James Robinson mar
ried a sister of William Knots
ex-county commissioner. Three
daughters and five sons were the
result of this union. About 1877.
Mr.. Robinson went to Eastern
Washington, near Waitsburg
and engaged in the stock busi
ness. But the winter proving
unusually severe, all of his stock
died and he came back to thi
county.
At one time James Robinson
owned what is now the Sol Kin.
place, a short distance northwes
of this city, but a trade was mad
with Mr.. King and Mr.. Robin
son acquired a place OF some con
siderable extent in the neighbor
hood of Wren.
The deceased was the victim
of many misfortunes during life
but bore up under them ant
always showed a genial disposi
ton. His death is attributed in
directly to severe cold he con
tracted some months ago. Think
ing to be benefited he went t.
Cottage Grove and remained ther
for time urder treatment of hi
nephew, DIR. Job. But it was Q
no avail and not long ago he re
turned home to die.
The remains were inferred yes

TEETHlNG POWDERS
A New Treatment
For the pores of the skin which beau.
titles the complexion.

Many people, especially ladies, are
annoyed with dry, scaly skin, black.
heads, pimples and blotches. Such all.
ments are generally treated with cold
cream, face lotions, witch hazel prepar-
atoms, ETC., which only afford temporary
relief, If any. The trouble exists in the
inactivity of the pores of the skin. If
the pores are healthy and perform their
duties properly the complexion will be
good, unless the person is suffering from
some chronic blood trouble.
A Louisville chemist has succeeded in
perfecting product known as Paracamph,
which, when applied to the face and
hands or any part of the body, opens the
pores, removes all unnatural distractions
by stimulating the circulation and Undue
ing preparation. Paracamph sweats out
the trouble. 1t washes out the pores of
the skim makes them healthy and active,
thereby giving smooth, rosy, satin
finish to the skin. This new preparation
is being used very largely by complexion
specialists with the greatest success, and
is highly endorsed by all physicians,
owing TO the fact that it is pure and
harmless Paracamph can be purchased
at any hrst-class drug store, or if your
dealer does not keep it, order direct from
the factory. The price is within the
reach Of all Sold only in 25c, SOC and
81 90 bottles. Manufactured only by The
Paracanph Company, Louisville, KY.

PHOTOGRAPHIC s COON.
Writer Gets Picture of One on
Limb of Treer-Animal Vexed,
But Never Moved,

n was tramping through the
woods lookingfor stray snapshots
when | came across a beech tree
that j had noticed several times
before" says 4 writer. 81 had
been interested in this tree on &C.
count of some suspicious looking
scratches on the bark and a large
hole in the trunk some 80 feet from
the ground, giving it very much
the appearance of being the snug
retreat of some animal. Having
my climbers with me, / assembled
the tree. To my qualification and
delight the cavity contained a rae
coon. But how was he to be photo
graphed? The only large tree
that stood near the beech was a
maple, and if could induce him
to leave his retreat he probably
would sit long enough on one or
the other of the trees for me to
make an exposure. After some
rather vigorous prodding on my
part the coon showed himself and
ran from the beech into the maple
al once, finally seating himself on
a large dead limb, and looking
across at me with a decidedly
vexed expression on his face.
81 descended the beech, and.
taking the camera on my back,
climbed the maple. The raccOon
never budged as | seated myself
on a limb opposite him and pro
ceeded to unfold my apparatus,

beautiful set of pearly white teeth,
and once or twice gave a decided |
grOwl of dissatisfaction. waited |

head, and savedit intact. AS soon

he sat, looking at me over the side
of the limb, with a queer, puzzled
expression on his face"

HEALTH RISKS IN SUMMER
Microbes Increase, Food Becomes
Tainted and Milk and FLUIDS
Change Very Quickly.

\ DIR. Andrew Wilson writes as
follows Of the increased risks to
health during the summer
months: "The warm season
causes the great army of microbes
to breed and multiply in thick pro
fusion. With this increase in the
number of our microscopic foes
our risks propOrtionately enlarge.
Think for IA moment of the faint
ing of food. A food which in the
winter will keep for days may
spoil in as many hours in sum-
mer. Injurious changes in foods
are not always easy of detection.
This is why in summer we may
read of eases of food poisoning,
often fatal, cased by the consump-
ton of articles which were ap.
parently sound. The changes pro-
duced are of such a subtle nature
that at first they are not realized.
The food appears fresh; in reality
ii is dangerous. Usually it is
made so because it has been kept
in insanitary surroundings. This
is especially the case, let me add,
with canned foods. They are sound
enough and wholesome enough,
but when the cans are opened the
rule for safety is to consume the
foods as quickly as possible.
Il have often heard the question
asked, why, if decomposition of
food is a barrier to its use. should
We eat high game. reply, cases OF
game poisoning are not unknown,
but in ordinary practice the game
is kept so long that a first set Of

is replaced by other and harmless
