THE DIET FAD.

The East Oregonian has accepted
many new ideas and is always ready
to welcome improvement and ad-
vancement in any line, but it is frank
to confess that it has always had its
suspicious of the foou faddsts, the
vegetarians. the brown bread and
mush eaters, the fruit diet people and
the nut cracking extremists of mod
ern diet reform.
1t has been 10th to condemn the
white bread and bacon on which its
forefathers lived, loved, hated, reared
large families. felled forests, wrote
poetry. drove OK teams, plowed up
deserts, builded cities, states and en-
pires. and lived to a good old age in
perfect possession of all their senses.
Its love for this old everyday diet
of its pagan forefathers is strengthen
ed by reading the article by Dr.
Woods Hutchinson of Portland, in the
April number of McClure's magazine,
entitled Diet Delusions."
DR.. Hutchinson treats the subject
of food fads in a most practical man
ner and every person interested in
preserving their health and senses
should read and reread it.
In answer to the theories of the
food faddists who assert that the
dyspepsia and biliousness of the world
| is caused by eating too much fat and
sweets. he asks what has been the diet
| of the armies. the railroad builders
the miners, the coal diggers, the ar
chitects, the writer's of history, the
authors of thrilling and immortal
books, the designers of cities and the
makers of fortunes? Has it not beer
the rich, red beefsteak, potatoes
white bread and solid foods of the
pioneers?
Who among the great thinker:
have been vegetarians, mush eaters
breakfast food cranks? Who among
the great generals have subsisted oil
orange juice and crackers? VIII
among the great lawyers have livet
on oatmeal and gelatine? Who amont
the founders of states have eonfine,
their diet to cocoanut butter and pea
/ nut salad?
We are what we eat" says Dr
Hutchinson.
There are more weak men an
women in the world today than eve
before. There is a reason for it, Dl
Hutchinson says 1t is caused as muc
by starved and empty stomachs as b
overfed stomachs. as is the genera
belief. The article should be rea
with care and remembered.

TO BEGIN MUD SINGING.

The Morning Tribune of this city
announced Sunday morning that it
would begin its usual campaign of
mud singing and slander of the cam
didates opposed TO its politics, soon.
1t is a misfortune for the republi-
cans of the county that they do not
have a clean, upright. fair-minded
paper to represent them. The Trib-
une and its methods are not indorsed
by the intelligent republicans. 1t is
a tool of the machine and nothing
more, and republican principles and
conduct must not be judged by the
Tribune.

the editor and other members of the
republican machine of this city, as
they led gamblers to the polling places

THE SAWAIILL TRUST,

Notice has been served on Pendle-
ton architects by the sawmill trust
that another raise of 81 per 1000 feet
will be made in the price Of lumber
this month. This is the third raise of
81 within the past two months.
Is lumber scarce? Is saw timber
scarce? Are the mountains denuded
Why is the price of lumber soaring in
this manner? Why is building stop
ped in all northwest cities by high
prices Of lumber?
Because the trust has so decreed.
When the lumber or shingle market
is threatened with a mild surplus,
mills are closed to restrict the output
and cause the alarm Of a scarcity.
When the visible supply begins to de-
cline rapidly, the trust orders a raise
of the price. The consumer pays it.
The home builder in Pendleton, Ba-
ker City. Pilot Rock and every other
place using lumber, yields to this ex-
tortion Of the lumber trust Of the
northwest.
And to think that just over the line
in Canada are magnificent forests
waiting to be sawed into lumber and
shipped across the border when the
robber tariff will permit it,

QUEEN TO BECOME NUN.

The rumor that the queen-mother
of Spain will take the veil after the
marriage of King Alfonso, calls to
mind the fact that the widow of an
ex-king is at the present moment in
n convent in the Isle of Wight.
The royal nun was born Princess
Adelaide of Lowenstein-We Wertheim-
Rosenberg. She married in 1851
Miguel Duke of Braganza, who occu-
pied the throne of Portugal from
1928 to 1894. In the latter year he
abdicated under compulsion, and died
in 1866. His widow entered the
Benedctine convent at Solesmes, in
France, in 1897, and when the COM
munity was banished from France she
went with the rest of the sisters tc

CALLED BY PHONoGRAPH.

Clocks are now being made which,
instead of striking them, speak the
hours through an ingenious applica-
ton Of the talking machine. The in
ventor has made clocks with speaking
discs of various kinds to serve as
alarms. You can be awakened by
the vigorous growing of cock or the
sound of well known voice. They
are arranged to call out in various
degree of modulaion, some loud
enough to rouse the soundest sleeper
AS alarm clocks, they should in time
supersede all others, for the discs can
be changed as often as the fancy die
tates, so that the sleeper will not be-
come so familiar with the call as tc
continue his slumber, as often hap
pens in the use of the ordinary clocks

tance Ezra Meeker will travel by the
old emigrant road, he will find no
spot more pregnant with historical
interest than Meacham, on the sum-
nit of the Blue mountains in Uma-
tilla county, where he will plant a
monument on the old road next Fri
day morning.
Old pioneers say that it seemed all
the way up hill from Omaha to Mea-
cham, the summit of the Blue noun
tains, and all the way down hill from
Meacham to the Willamette valley,
over that long stretch of prairie
and mountain and stream weary emf
grants hoped and longed for the sight
of the promised land beyond the ver-
dant slopes of the Blue mountains.
Lee Encampment," now Meacham,
was the camping place of Jason Lee,
the first missionary ever to come to
the Oregon country. He came in
1884 and camped where Meacham
now stands.
Ever after, that open glade in the
wild forests became a camping place
for the weary pilgrims. Forward
from those heights they looked with
hope toward the Pacific and down the
westward incline they hurried with
renewed vigor to the new world.
1t is fitting that Meacham should
have a monument.

thrilling prayers for womankind, that
was ever breathed in Oregon. The

CHRIsTs DIVINITY IN POLITICS.

Emperor William and his COUNSEL
lors are at the moment far less con.
cerned about the Morocco conference
or naval expansion than they are over
the imminent church crisis in Prussia,
the gravest since the reformation.
The question of the divinity of
Christ now threatens to rend German
Professionalism into two great parties,
the one liberal, and the other ortho-
dox.
The revolt in liberal church circles
against the narrow limits of orthodoxy
has been famed into a flame by the
refusal of the consistory and the su-
preme court to sanction the selection
of the Rev. Mr.. Romer as pastor of
the church at Remscheid. in West
phalia. His offense was that he
preached sermons in which he repudi-
ated the divine as a myth inspired by
Graeco-Pagan influences.
The church at Remscheid refused
to select another pastor, and its pull
pit has in consequence been unoccu-
pied.

A SCARLET FEVER CURE.
Big Success Claimed for Remedy
by DIR. Luhan.

A new treatment for scarlet fever
which, he says, has had long series
OF victories and no failures in its strug.
giles with the disease for nearly eight
years, is now offered as free scien-
tific contribution to the medical profes-
sion by DIR. j. Il. G. Luhan, of East
seventy-second street, N. Y. Noticing
that most deaths from the disease
were the result of paralysis of the
heart, he devised treatment for the
blood and for the kidneys which pre-
vents anaemia-or destruction of the
red blood corpuscles-and also prevents
kidney complications.
The physician in speaking of his
treatment, said:
"As to my treatment. The germs of
scarlet fever diminish the red blood
corpuscles. Anaemia next sets in
through the poverty of the blood, and
paralysis of the heart follows. My
treatment Is curative and eliminative.

THE cARPENTER'S SQUARE.
History of Its Invention and Manu-.
facture,


Carpenters. who use the common
steel square, very necessary ad-
junct to their trade, perhaps give lit
tie thought to how, when and where
this article was first produced. While
there are millions Of squares manu-
factured and used annually, all over
the world, when the nineteenth cen
t,lry was born there was not one in ex-
istence.
One dull, rainy day, Siler Howes, a
moor Vermont blacksmith, who lived in
South Shaftsbury, was called upon by
a peddler of tinware to shoe horse.
These peddlers travelled up and down
the country calling at every farm
house. buying everything in the way OF
barter. This one had number OF
worn out steel saws that he had picked
up at various places. Howes bargain
ed for them, shooting the peddler's
horse and receiving the saws in pay
ment. and each thought he had an ex-
cellent trade.
The blacksmith's idea was to polish
and weld two saws together, at right
angles thus making a rule or measure
sunerior to anything then in use. After
a tow attempts he succeeded in making
square, marked 1t off into inches ana
fractions of inches and found that II
answered every purpose that he IN
tended it for. ,,. .
In the course Of few weeks during
his spare hours he made number OF
these squares, which he sent out py
neddlers. who found every carpenter
anxious to buy one. Soon he had OF,
