FIND OUT
The Kind of Food That Will Keep
You Well.

The true way is to find out what is
best to eat and drink, and then culti-
vate taste for those things instead
of poisoning ourselves with improper,
indigestible food, etc.
A conservative Mass. woman writes:
Il have used Grape-Nuts years for
the young and for the aged; in sick
ness and in health; at first following
directions carefully, later in a variety
of ways as my taste and judgment sug-
gested
But its most special, personal bene-
fit has been substitute for meat, and
served dry with cream when rheu-
matte troubles made it important for
me to give up the coffee habit
Served in this way with the addi-
ton Of cup of hot water and little
fruit it las been used at my morning
meal fol six months, during which
time my health has much improved,
nerves have grown steadier, and
gradual decrease in my comfort"

Sheep Raising in Australia.

The greatest industry of Australia is
sheep raising, mainly for the sake of
the wool, but also in part, of course,
for the meat. Australia now ranks
second among the great sheep-raising
countries. Argentina being first with
100000 sheep, Australia .econd with
72,000,000, and Russia third with TO
100000. Only a few years ago Aus
tralia was first, possessing no less
than 106, 100000 head of sheep. That
was in 1891. Prolonged droughts were
the cause of the destruction of many
millions Of Australian sheep, but since
1902 there has been an annual gain.
Yet these sheep were not indigenous
to Australia. They were first intro
duced in 1897, being of the Spanish
merino species.

Great German Socialist.

Herr Bebel, the leader of the Ger
man socialists. who has been so much
in evidence of late, is a wheelwright
by trade. Although entirely self-edu-
Gated, he is one of the finest orators
and debaters in the fatherland and,
distasteful as his views may be to
the reichstag, whenever he addresses
the assembly he is certain of having
a large and attentive audience. In
such esteem is he held by the social
lists that millions will obey his will
without thinking whether they are do
ing right or wrong. Herr Bebel
neither drinks nor smokes, and be-
sides being a celebrity in the political
wold has gained some fame as a
writer.

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM.
Above All Things the Walls Should
Be Kept Dry.

When the bedroom becomes sick
room there is an added reason why ex-
treme precautions should be used to
keep the room in thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Above all things, the bedroom should
never be damp. 1t should be nice and
dry, always warm and comfortable in
winter, cool and airy in summer, and
bright and sunny some parts of the
day.
If there is any suspicion of damp
ness in bedroom it is probably due,
If there is wallpaper on the wall, to
the absorption of water by the paper
which frequently acts as blotting pa
per and holds quantities of water in it.
The use of wallpaper on walls is to
be deplored; it means disease, i'll
health and unhappiness. 1t is fire.
quently the cause of lung trouble, not
only because of its dampness but also
because of its power to retain infec-
tion of many kinds.
The desired method of treating a
bedroom wall is to tint it for the ala
bastined wall is perfect wall. 1t
never fakes off, chips or peels. 1t abb
serbs moisture and expels it, it opens
the pores of the plaster and makes
room livable and breathable.
The floor in the bedroom should
have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that
can be easily shaken and floor that
is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that
will not absorb moisture. The cracks
in the floor should be thoroughly filled
and covered. Woodwork in the bed
room should be attended to carefully,
window sills should be thoroughly var
nished or waxed, and the window cas-
ings kept in perfect order. The doors
should be wiped off frequently as also
should be all the standing woodwork
in the bedroom, as the presence of
dust on woodwork is a menace to
health as well as an evidence of poor
housekeeping.

Prosperity Here.

Things are not standing still
in Corvallis this spring, if any
of your neighbors happen to in
quire. There are several things
that have already happened, and
numerous others are on the bills.
One of the latest is the horse
and livestock show that happens
on the 9TH and 9Th of June and
for which great plans are now
being made. This will be not
only the biggest affair of the sort
ever attempted in Benton, but it
will be one which will have a
far-reach1ng and beneficial effect
which will mean much to the
county tor many a ''moon.
Another thing: Corvallis will
celebrate and do it up about
right. Committees are hard at
work on details and there is no
doubt that the eagle will scream
with a vim in this city July 4th.
Corvallis is growing: Tue
Johnson brick is rapidly nearing
completion; SO is the Small brick,
and thousand and one minor
buildings and Improvements are
under wav. Every working man
in Corvallis is busy, or it is hi
own fault, for there is work at
good wages for those who seek
it, and prosperity smiles upon
all.

Messrs. Woodcock aud Doris

which has collected $50 each
from As or so persons for the
purpose of rushing the matter
through. If successful a part of
the money is to applied to locs-

ONE BOARD Of REGENTS.

Ex-county Judge Eugene
Palmer, of Albany, was IN the
city this week gathering up the
petitions that have been circulat-

referendum vote on the Univer-
sity OF Oregon appropriation bill,
says the Telegram. Mr.. Palmer
states that he will have the re-
quirrd number of signatures,
ssith 1000 to spare, and that the
petitions have been extensively
c rculated in Clackamas, Linn,
Marion, Multnomah and Una
tilla, as well as in other counties
Not one man in twelve has
refused to sign our petition, !"
said Mr.. Palmer this morning.
Nv t have been severely CRITICS
ed, but ! would like to say that
we are not opposed to the uni
versitv or the men connected
with it, but we do denounce the
manner in which the measure
WAS passed. Neither do e
think the school is. getting toe
much money for improvements,
hut we do believe that the ap-
Precipitation as continual one, Is
too large. Personally l would
have consented to an appropria-
tion of 5000. 900 this year, if the
university needs it, but blame
the legislature FOR not providing
method for raising revenue,
other than a direct tax On the
people of the state. I am entire
ly friendly to the cause of higher
education, hut belive that the
S ate should have one board of
regents for the University Of
Oregon, Agricultural College
and Normal schools. We have
too many normals; two would be
quite sufficient.
Mr.. Palmer stated that the
course of study at the Univer-
sity of Oregon was partial dup
licate of that of the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College. The L nm
county man said he favored
raising the standard of the pub
lie schools all over the state to
include the ninth and tenth
grades. He was asked if he b =
lieved the defeat of the appro.
priation bill would result in in

affirmative.
