Our Bodies Are MachInes.

How many people, l wonder, ever
pause TO consider that their bodies are
merely machines to do work. furnaces
In which necessary fuel Is burned,
workshops In which wornout parts are
supplied and storerooms in which fuel
and food are laid away for use when
needed? Further, like any other piece
of apparatus, the body works better
under certain circumstances. Its fires
burn better with fuels of certain sorts,
mixed in certain proportions and 1t

SUNDAY LID AT THE DALLES.
Shut Down by the Sheriff, Under
State Law.

Sheriff Levi Chrisman notified
most of the twenty-nine saloonmen
yesterday evening that beginning
with the coming week the state law
against selling liquor of any sort on
Sunday would be strictly enforced.

and sheriff are but putting the city

The move to place The Dalles
under the Sunday lid has been agi-
tated here for some time. A petit

and church people was presented to
Prosecuting Attorney Menefec sew
cral days ago. He assured those
presenting the petition that he would
take vigorous steps TO see that the
law was enforced. The result of his
conference with the sheriff was the
action taken last night.
The decision to enforce. the Sunday
closing law in The Dalles was not en-
tirely unexpected even by the saloon
men. 1t is also whispered that some
of them are not bit averse to lid
one day a week.
Sheriff Chrlsman says the majority
of the saloonmen whom he interview
ed last night were very reasonable
about the matter. They nearly all
assured him that they would abide
hv the law. The sheriff said that
no violation would be tolerated by
anybody.
Some of the saloonmen are growl-
ing bit today over the proposed
enforcement and say that If the
people want Sunday lid they shall
