Your Own Body.

Think deliberately Of the house you
live in-your body. Make up your
mind noe to abuse It. Eat nothing
that will hurt It; wear nothing that
distorts or pains 1t. Do not overload
II with victuals or drink or work.
Give yourself regular and. abundant
sleep. Keep your body warmly clad.
At the first signal of danger from any
of the thousand enemies that surround
you defend yourself. Do not take cold;
guard yourself against It. II you feel
the first symptoms, give yourself hero
ic treatment Get into fine glow Of
heat by exercise. This is the only
body you will ever have in this world.
A large share Of pleasure and pain OF
life will come through the use you
make Of It. Study deeply and dlligent
ly the structure Of It, the laws that
should govern II, the pains and penal
ties that will surely follow a violation
Of every law Of life or lsA,lth.

1t is fair to assume that there has
been readjustment of Standard OIL
holdings since the capital stock was
increased to 100 million dollars,
though ordinary market channels,
private transfers of stock and the
shifting of shares resulting from
deaths. 1t will be observed from the
above table that ]. d. Rockefeller
owned PA per cent of the capital
stock of the Standard Oil company
and that apparently he has received
an average of more than IL million
dollars year on the shares in the
last 10 years. 1t has been said that
Mr.. Rockefeller has largely increased
his holdings since then, but no con-
firmatipp Of this statement has been
obtained.

more to its shareholders than any
other corporation in existence. It's

The Instinct That Leads the Ostrich
to Protect Its Eggs.
The nature students-everybody Is a
nature student nowadays-were trying
to outdo one another.
Eagles when the sun is overhot
shade their young with. outspread
wings" said the first. "On August aft
ernoons 1 have seen a mother eagle
stand patiently two full hours, her left
wing spread like an umbrella, while in
its cool shade her nestllngs slept"
Squirrels" said the second, "can
tell whether nut Is good or bad with
out opening II. A chestnut, q walnut,
a shellbark, they lift 1t in their little
paws, hold It to their faces moment,
then II 1t is bad cast 1t aside. How do
they tell? By the weight, by the
soundl / incline to think they do II
by the SMELL
e" '"Ostriches never sit" said the third.
"They lay their eggs on the pale Sa-
haran sands, and the sun does the rest.
But before the ostriches depart from
their eggs they place on the top OF
each pinch Of sand, for they know
that the germ will mount to the top
and that the suns heat would kill the
germ were 1t not protected"
"a trained elephant" said the fourth
student, danced very badly at matt
nee performance and was accordingly
beaten cruelty by its master. That

cases accompanied by nausea. OF all
the cases have had, however, my
experience is that the disease is very
mild, and of short duration. 1t is
similar to influenza, which may at
tack various parts of the human sys-
TEN, more commonly the respiratory
organs.
'I am In favor of taking the mat
ter up with the medical society. 1t
is question the members should dis
cuss. We could learn each others
experiences with it and probably de-
termine something for our own salts
faction"

NEAR THE FROST MARK.
Temperature In Eastern Oregon
Mornings Last Week.


Mornings Last Week.
The opening and closing days OF the
week were clear and sunshiny, but
from Wednesday until Sunday morn
ing the weather was showery and al
though the total amount of rainfall
was light, there were some localities
where the fall was unusually heavy
for the season of the year. The rains
cleared the atmosphere of smoke and
wet the soil sufficiently to lay the
dust. The temperatures averaged
eight degrees lower than during the
preceding week and the GOODNESS was
most pronounced during the cloudy
afternoons. In the eastern counties
the temperatures on one or two
mornings were dangerously near the
frost mark, but no frosts were report
ed. The sunshine was greatly defi-
cient.
Columbia River Valley.
Mountain Park, Wasco county,
Raymond Markley.-Cool, cloudy
weather prevailed during the greater
part of the week. The winds were
westerly.
Ella, Morrow county, Carl F.
Troedsen.-The weather was cool all
the week, the latter part being cloudy
and rainy.
Weston, Umatilla county, Maud M.
Baker.-Excepting the first two days,
the week was a succession of cold,
cloudy days, with continuous showers
Thursday and Friday. Saturday gave
indications of clearing up and the
air was chill and crisp, like early
autumn.
Pendleton. Umatilla county, H. F.
Johnson.-Cool weather was the rule,
with unusual cloudiness for the time
of year. Rain fell in considerable
amounts on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The week ended cloudy and threaten

Baker City, Baker county, local Of

occurred.
Bend, Crook county, A. II. Grant

continued during the night. The
week was warm in the early part, but

ColumbIa's Ill temper cost her her life. Her
trainer was unable 10 handle her, and she had
made a number of attacks on her keepers.
Yesterday afternoon, under the direction Of
Denman, the elephant trainer, a rope was rigged
about the neck of the huge beast. This was
secured to a big tackle, and at a signal from
Denman the canvasmen quickly drew the rope
taut. The stout hemp sank into the folds Of
flesh IN the neck Of the animal and. unable to
move to trumpet, it was slowly strangled
to death The herd of twenty-one manacled ele-

Clarksburg, W. Va. Nov. s.-The dozen window
glass factories in this section will probably shut
down indefinitely. The plants were late in opening
on account OF the wage scale. The glass workers
agreed to a I21s-cent reduction, which the
facturers accepted, but the latter demanded
further reduction later. which the workers re-
fused. Workmen at different plants have quit work
and il is expected that all of them in the West
