When Harvey W. Scott of the Ore
gonian gets thirsty for a little more of
the same-i. g., free advertisiug-he
launches one of his characteristic ed-
torial shafts at the Bible, the Christian
religion, or some minister of the Cos
pel. He knows the weak points of his
opponents who are always ready to de-
fend, with unnecessary noise and waste
OF words the cause which he asSails.
Mr.. Scott is harmless, because his fol-
lowing is practically nil, with no pros.
pect of an increase. He is joke.
Why take him seriously?

anything worthy of particular atten-

Uncle Allen, that they would rather
blunder along, in their own idiotic
way than to be told how to do things
right. So, if you have found place

Child Entertainer.

One of the new ideas in entertain

season is planned for the benefit OF
the younger generation. A Miss Pa,

and bits Of Japanese folklore. She is
dressed in quaint costume, sits on
tie floor cross legged and brings with
her a basket of toys with which she
illustrates her stories.
The fad has taken, and she is in
great demand, and there is some talk
of arranging for an entertainer of a
similar kind in New York. Story tell

KEEPING BODY IN CONDITION,

"Hardening" Process Good Prevent.
i've of Colds.
Modern research seems to have es.
tablished the fact that, after all the
"old-fashioned" ideas with regard to
colds are not far wrong. 1t is, of
course, true, says the Literary Digest,
that cold" is a malady due to
germs, but there seems to be no doubt
that the chilling of the body lessons
its resistance and so renders it an
easy prey. ..,, ~-...
In the Arctic region, where the in
fuenza germ cannot live, and where
colds are said to be unknown, it may
be safe to sit in a draught or to get
ones feet wet; but in the temperate
zone these indulgences will continue to
be risky for the average man.
Reviewing experiments and observa-
lions made in this field, the Medical
Record says:
"A point of practical Importance is
the fact that it was found that repeat.
ed exposure to slight degrees of cold
brought about an increase of anti
bodies, and this observation therefore
AFFORDS a theoretical justification of
the practically approved methods of
hardening the body by lydrothera-
peutlc and other methods of training.
such procedures should not only serve
TO protect against cold and allied con-
dlt1ons, but also should render the
