Osteopathy
ON CHILD DEVELOPMENT.
The Importance OF Attending to Little
Structural Defects Lest More Seri-
Gus Troubles Follow.
All of us know how proper train

ing helps in the development of child
character. In just as large measure
proper examination of the child's
body, and correction OF Its faults by
osteopathlc manipulation, will help to
build up a physique that parents and
child may be proud of.
1t Is sometimes the case that a child
develops an evil habit of posture. with
the result that after a few years have
passed 1t becomes apparent that per-
manent bad figure is likely toresult.
The, earlier tendencies of this kind
are attended to the better: for It IL
obvious that as years elapse they be-
come more fixed and therefore more
difficult to correct. It is often the
case that a child could be saved from
having stopped shoulders, sunken
chest, or other defect, IL the matter
were placed in the hands of compe-
tent osteopath who understands the
measures necessary for the correction
of these things.
Not only is the form of the child
important, however. It has been con-
clusively proven that these irregulari-

seem to be only slight defects and Of
no very great importsnce-are often
the real cause OF weaknesses or ten-
denotes to diseases, even when no con-
nection between the two things is ap-
parent to the lay observer.
Children who are perfectly formed
frequently enjoy good health during
the vigorous outdoor life OF child
hood and then develop disease tenden-
cies later that may readily be traced
to the structural defects which had
previously not seemed to be Of great
Importance. Osteopathic practition-
ers are constantly proving these points
the disease disappearing when
structural correction takes place; but
1t is of course only reasonable that
such re-adjustment can be accomplish
ed more quickly and readily in child
| hood.

Is President Roosevelt seriously
considering the adoption of govern
ment ownership as one of his re-
form slogans?
This question is being asked by
friends and enemies of the president
since the publication of an interview
from L. S. Crosscup, western coun-
Sci for the Northern Pacific railway,
in Seattle.
That the president is seriously con-
sidnring this step is believed by
many conservative republicans who
have read between the lines of
number of his recent address, on
railroad regulation.
president Roosevelt told me that
he is considering advocating the ap-
pointment of u commission by con-
gress to appraise the value of rail-
road property in the United States"
said p, S. Grosscup. general Western
counsel of the Northern Pacific rail-
road and leading corporation attor-
nev, on his return from the east yes
terday, says a Seattle dispatch.
THE attitude of the president is diff
ferent from that of western state
legislatures, in that he is not in favor
of estimating merely the cost of re-
producing the railroad property.
Roosevelt is willing to give the rail-
roads allowance for the energy, en-
terprise and patronage entering into
the business.
"While in Washington. converse
ton with United States Senator DAN
lei and others revealed that the gov
crnment control of railroads would
be the big issue of the day and show
ed surprising abandonment of par
ty lines.
"The railroads will curb expendl-
lures as much as possible till after
the presidential election. Two solu-
tions of the railroad question will be
national issues. Either states must
abandon attempts to regulate rail.
roads by legislation and turn the mat
matter over the national government
to regulate rates on an equitable ap-
praisement of value of railroad prop
erty, or there will be government
ownership. This will inevitably fol
low a refusal of the state to turr
over control of the roads to the gov
ernment."

WEEK OF GOOD WEATHER.
Oregon Crop and Weather Conditions
Are Favorable.

The weather during the week was
very favorable. Following the rains
of last week there were from three to
four warm, sunshiny days, which were
followed Thursday by increasing
cloudiness and light showers in the
eastern counties. By Friday the rain
area had spread to include practically
all sections of the state, and the show
ers were not only heavier, but in some
places they were attended by thunder.
The rainfall was continued throughout
Saturday and Sunday The rainfall
was heaviest in southern Oregon and
the Columbia River valley.
In the districts where the droughty
conditions were only partially reliev-
ed by the rains of last week, the rains
of this week have been sufficient to
wholly break up the drought and the
situation is greatly improved. The
temperatures averaged above normal
and 1t was unusually warm during
the fore part of the week. During
the showery period the afternoons
| were cooler, but there was very little
change in the night temperatures.
The average amount of sunshine was
below normal, and there were no
damaging frosts or high winds.

TEN THOUSAND DESERTIONS.
Army and Navy Force Is Greatly Di-
minished.

More than 10000 men deserted
from the army and navy Of the Unit
ell States last year, says a Washing
ton dispatch. OF this number 625S
left the land service without permis-
sion and 1898 abandoned their war
ships. A force sufficient to form
seven regiments of infantry and to
man six first class Dattleships de-
clined to continue to wear the uni
form OF the government.
1t is a condition of affairs SO
alarming that 1t has received the
earnest consideration of the president
and the secretaries of war and navy

considerate attitude toward enlisted
men.

FIGHT UPON PAPER TRUST.
Department of Justice Will Ask Amer
lean Publishers to Aid.


Washington, D. C.-Experts of the
Departmental Justice are in the field
after the Paper Trust. Officials of
the department hope to have the re-
suits of the inquiry before the end of
the year.
This fact was brought out by the
action of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association in New York
In call for the prosecution of a COM
blnat1on among paper manufacturers.
1t is said the Department Of Justice
will ask the Publishers Association
to aid them in the investigation.
The officials are inclined to the be-
lief hat some sharp practice has been
committed, with the Government as
the victim. Attorney-General Moody,
on information gathered by his pre-.
decessor, Philander C. Knox, took
the Paper Trust into court. When it
voluntarily dissolved he let the mat
ter drop and did not call for the
books and papers of the trust.
Department officials were satisfied,
but from what has happened in the
last fifteen months they wish they had
examined the books. They are con-
WINGED that the trust did not actually
dissolve, but merely made a gentle
mems agreement" and continued
business in much the same way as
before the suit.
Government officials declare that
no mercy will be shown if it be found
that any illegal arrangement exists
by which the supply of paper is con.
trolled and prices fixed.

Bridge of Fish.

The salmon were so thick in the
mouth of Mill Creek just below the
Government fishery racks, says a
Redding dispatch to the San Fran
cisco Call, that they are seen right up
to the surface of the water, and so
closely packed together hat a person
looking upon the mass would feel
that he could cross the creek dry
Shod by stepping OF the backs of the
fish as they appear above the water.
They are crowded up by the mass
which extends down to the bottom of
the stream.
At the fishery the fish can be Sc
cured in greater quantities than
they can be handled, and the hatch
cry is running at it's full capacity.
Some days as many as 1000 900
eggs are secured. People from the
southern part of the country go to
the hatchery for the fish, which are
given away after the spawning op-
Grafton. Many millions of young
salmon will be Matched this season,
as operations have been under way
for some time and may continue for
some time longer if the river does
not rise too high.

FARMERSREBEL ATPURE MLKRUIE
Health Department Says Hair on Cows Tail
and Flank Must Be Cut and Lights Put in
Troughs-CIean Suits For Mixers.

Florida, N. Y.-Farmers in New
York State are receiving from the
New York Department of Health let
tiers setting forth the requirements of
the department necessary to insure a
pure milk supply for the New York
City market. The requirements run
all the way from cleaning the window
panes of the cowpen to cutting the
cows hair. 2
One farmer who had received a list
of the departments requirements de-
clares that if some of the rules are
carried out there will be a serious
shortage of milk in the market, as to
obey orders would mean a great eX-
pense and require so much time at
tending to the animals that very little
profit would result to the owners. The
farmer said:
while the price of milk for the
coming six months by one big con-
trolling concern has been advanced
sixteen per cent. over last years
price, it must be taken into consider
alton that the price of the principal
feeds has gone up twenty-five per
cent"
The same MAI pointed out that to
meet the requirements more help
would be required and that all this
would eat up the little profit that the
COW raiser o makes. In addition
it is hard to get competent help.
Too Early For Cleaning.
One requirement to which local
farmers make strenuous objection is
that requiring that the cowshed be
thoroughly cleaned before the COWS
are MIXED. AS the milking is done
very early each morning, perhaps
long before daylight, it can be seen
that the cleaning process will be al
most an impossibility. The farmer
is not wealthy, and many of them
have not the cash to make the re-
quired improvements about their
~rnmises.
Where are our very small present
profits to come in?" said an owner of
several head after reading the de-
partment circular. Where is the
money to come from to put in a non
absorbent floor and siX-inch cutters
with rounded corners of the non-ab-
sorbent material? Are we required
to put in lights, so that the feeding
troughs be lighted? I am unable to
e where it insures pure milk to
have the COW see what she is eating,
or perhaps have the window clean so
that she may gaze pensively yer the
barnyard while she chews her cud.
Another requirement is that all
the help be provided with clean suits
when they go in to make the COWS
comfortable or relieve them of their
milk. My wife would object to that,
and farmers wives neve have much
to do"
