How He Would Go.

In connection with its account of
the international convention of
Zionists at The Hague writer in a
German paper says: ''The national
sentiment was ADVOCATED by Stein
schneider in Prague in 1885 and
Moses Hess in France. In the ff-
ties the story went the rounds of
the European papers to the effect
that Adolphe Cremieux had become
a convert to the Jewish state move
ment. He was asked one day by
Napoleon III. if he would go to
such a state if it were founded, and
he promptly answered, Yes, your
majesty, but only as the accredited
representative Of France

NOTABLE MEDICAL DISCOVERY
Of Special Value to Many Here in
Corvallis.

One of the most notable discoveries and
one that undoubtedly appeals more than
anything else to many people here in
Corvallis is the combination of stomach
remedies in the Mi-o-na treatment. This
prescription has worked wonders, and
there 10 now no excuse for anyone suffer-
ing with Indigestion or weak stomach.
1t acts specifically upon the muse es of
the stomach and bowels. Strengthening
and stimulating them so that they readily
take care of the food that is eaten 1t al.
so increases the flow of gastric juices,
thus getting from the food the nourish-
ment that is necessary for health and
energy.
The symptoms of indigestion are num-
erous, such as distress after eating fatu-
lence, heart. burn, sick headaches, dizzi
ness, and irritability. These are all dis
PEELED by few doses of Mi-o-na when
the trouble is recent, bat just as surely in
long standing and chronic cases if the
treatment is followed for q reasonable
length of time.
So positive are the good effects follow
ing the use of Mi. o-na that the remedy is
sold by Graham & Wells under an abso-
Lutte guarantee to refund the money if it
sheuld fail to cure.

BETTER THAN MEDICINE.
Breathe Hyomei's Tonic Healing
and be Cured of Catarrh.

Nature has remedy for catarrh, q
treatment that is far better than dosing
the stomach With medicine.
1t is the healing oils and balsams OF
Hyomei which medicates the air YOU
breathe, reaching the most remote air
cells in the nose, throat and lungs, killing
all catarrhal germs, and restoring health
to the MUCOUS membrane.
In using Hyomei you are treating your
cata rrhal troubles with the only natural
remedy, for it gives curative air bath to
the air passages tina. has as powerful
healing and an,iseptic effect as that four d
in the n Mountains where the pine forests
give off their fragrant and healing bal.
sans.
Breathe the invigeratin and healing
Hyomei, and see how quickly you will
get relief from your catarrhal troubles.
Graham & Wells have seen SO many
cures, even of the worst cases of catarrb,
with offensive breath. raising of mucus,
frequent sneszing, droppings in the
throat and spasmodic coughing, that
they feel warranted in selling Hyomei
under an absolute guarantee to refund
the money if it does not do all that is
claimed for it. They take all the risk.

PROHIBITION GROWING.

The Associated Press dispatch
says that from figures in the pos
session OF prohibition head
quarters at Washington it is esti-
mated that SO, 100000 of the
Gig nty odd million inhabitants OF
the United States now live in
communities in which the law
does not permit the sale of alco-
holic beverages. In otner words,
more than one-third of all the
inhabitants of the country can
not buy liquor in their neighbor-
hoods of licensed bars. In sever
al ''dry" communities violation
Of the law means penalties to
both themselves and the person
from whom they bought the
liquor. The liquor question was
in nearly every state campaign
closed by the election Of last
Tuesday.
Prohibiti0nists are now pre-
pairing to force into the platforms
of both great parties in the next
years campaign recognition of
the growing pohibition senti-
ment. For this purpose the total
executive committee of the Pro-
hibition party will meet in Chica-
go November 20 to designate the
time and place for holding the
national convention ahead of
the republicans and demo
Gratis.
It is proclaimed to bethe inten-
ton Of the temperance lnen to de-
mand of the two great parties the
insertion Of a plank in their re-
spective platforms favoring the
enactment of laws that will pre-
vent the shipment of liquor into
states that have adopted prohibi-
ton. In the coming session of
congress, a bill carrying this pro-
visian will be introduced. 1t
was presented in the last session
and was defeated.

Amusing Signs In Japan.

Major General Hoad, who was

with Russia, saw some amusing shop
signs in Tokyo-'SHead Cutter" over

twelve, six sons and six daughters,

Beautiful Mixed Metaphor.

I think your readers may be in
terested in mixed metaphor which
recently appeared in the Egyptian
Standard, the paper of Mustapha
Kamel Pasha. That paper says that
if the Wing element were dropped
out of the cabinet "a truly liberal
wind might become the guiding
light of the foreign Office, and the
introduction of home rule bill for
Ireland might mean the beginning
of justice for Egypt" 1 think the
idea of wind being guiding light
is an example of mixed metaphor
which it will be hard to beat.-Let-
ter in London Spectator.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Air Treatment For Keeping Clothing
Sweet-Notes.


At least every two weeks in sum-
mer and once a month in winter
the place where clothes hang should
be cleaned, but, strange to say, this
is comparatively rarely done. Yet
all garments worn soon get more or
less of an odor Of the body, and add
ed to that there are those from the
street. Woolens, of course, are
more susceptible to this than are
cottons, but even the latter hold
unpleasant odors, and these must be
avoided.
The fortnightly cleaning should
consist of taking out all the clothes,
including boots and shoes, if they
are kept there. Each article should
be hung or spread about the room
and before windows so that the air
will play around and through it.
This air bath should continue for
two hours or more, and during that
time the wood within the closet
should be attended to. Allow the
door to remain open, and wash the
paint with warm water in which
there is a little ammonia. Soap
will not be necessary except for the
floor.
Even better than ammonia is to
put a few drops of oil of lavender
in the water, for this is purifying
and will leave a sweet odor most
pleasant for the clothes to absorb.
Every inch of the wood and espe-
cially the mop board and backing for
the hooks should be well gone over,
and the cloth may always be wrung
quite dry. It is not necessary to
soak the wood.

The Bedstead.

Every part of the bedstead should
be carefully busted once a week.
The best time for this will general
ly be found to be before the bed is
made. In the day the room is thor
oughly cleaned.
If the bedstead is Of wood it is
advisable to have it washed over at
least once year, and certainly after
of any kind with some disin-
fectant, wood, especially the unpol-
ished or unvarnished part, being
much more difficult to preserve in a
perfectly fresh condition than irnn-

CORVALLIS.

Corvallis is splendid country
city surrounded with beautiful
scenery, blessed with a climate
unsurpassed, having the best
mountain water system flowing
direct from the foot of Mary's
Peak. a good sewerage system
and all other facilities necessary
to insure the healthiest town to
be found anywhere. The State
Agricultural College with about
one thousand students in attend
ance and a first-class graded pub
lie school system makes this the
leading educational town of the
northwest. Surrounding the
town and throughout the country
are fine farms with highly pro-
ductive soil, where sheep, cattle
horses and all other domestic an =
mails of superior quality grow
and flourish. This beautiful little
city centrally located in the Will
lamette Valley, the garden spot
of the northwest, is one of the
oldest towns in the valley.
The splendid school facilities
maintained here attract many
people to this locality from differ
ent parts of this and other States
and a few from foreign countries
who come for the purpose of
obtaining the superior advanta-
ges afforded by the thorough and
complete school system.
Some Of the finest classes of
stock are raised in the county.
The technical subjects taught at
the Agricultural College alorg
the lines of improved methods of
farming encourage not only the
farmers on the surrounding
farms, but also throughout the
state to raise better classes of
stock and improve in their farm
ing.

ROOSEVELT AS SENATOR.

A great amount of energy has
been used to convince President
Roosevelt that he should accept
the nomination for republican
candidate. for the next president.
The Junior Sena or from Oregon
has devoted much attention to
this subject, making his efforts
CONSPICUOUS and yet not con-
vincing to the President. The
President has indicated that
if his public service is needed be
prefers to become United States
Senator rather than again sue
ceed himself to the presidency.
The unusual activity put forth
to persuade Mr.. Roosevelt to
again become president proceeds
from the idea that only one man
in the United States is fitted for
the position. The President, how
ever, is aware that when occasion
demands there is always a man
to be found qualified to perform
the duties of the occasion. Mr..
Roosevelt is a man Of strong
personal convictions and deter
mined in his purpose of carrying
them out. Having repeatedly
declared his purpose not to ac-
cept the nomination of his party
for the presidential race near at
hand, he will no doubt insist up
on having his way. Having de-
clared his consent to become
United States senator instead of
president, he no doubt has in
mind plans how he can best
serve the PEOPLE.
A long time has passed away
since the Senate has had a lead
er along the lines and with the
energy pursued by the presi-
dent. With a president elect
ed who. would carry out the
policies pursued by President
Roosevelt, and with Roosevelt
in the Senate as a leader of that
body, actively pursuing the same
line of action, would certainly
accomplish results more speedi-
ly than has usually occurred in
the senate. If Mr.. Roosevelt
should be elected to the senate
it will be interesting to observe
whether that body will insist in
his case of carrying out its time
honored tradition of requiring a
senator during his first term to
remain quiet and listen to the
older members for a time.

The Useful lemon.

Lemons are very useful in health
and sickness. Hot lemonade is one
of the best remedies for an incipient
cold. It is also excellent in cases
of bi1iousness. For malaria the
"Romun cure is prepared by cut
ting the rind and pulp of a lemon
into a pint of water, then boiling
until there is only half a pint. One
teaspoonful is taken before each
meal. This has cured obstinate
cases when quinine failed. Lemon
sirup made by baking a lemon twen-
ty minutes and then squeezing the
juice upon half cupful Of sugar is
excellent for hoarseness and to
break up cold.
