1t has been customary to consider
the forests of the central and northern
portions of South America as the for

Grip is one of the most unpopular
of modern diseases, for it may come
at any time, without previous notice
AID with malice aforethought. Doc
tors may agree as to its origin and
classification but its victims, when
once fairly embraced. don't know or
care. The symptoms are progressive,
beginning with a manifestation of un.
sociability and following course
that leads toward the cemetery by
stages or periods In about the follow
ing order:
First-You feel that your last
friend has deserted you.
Second-You become pessimistic re
garding the financial situation and

Fourth-You become hungry but

your remains and you feel as though
some one had hit you in the small OF
the back with section of railroad
iron.
Sixth-A cold that has been lurking
within the confines of your system
comes to the surface and you wish
that you had never been born.
The symptoms are thus detailed at
the beginning that there man be no
mistake, for it is a peculiar fact that
in these later years almost every dis
ease known to medical jurisprudence
has been charged at one stage or an.
other with being grip-a charge
wholly unjustifiable and unwarranted.

THE GRIP: ITS PREVENTION AND CURE

we're if taken in time, althouh there
are numerous notifications applicable
to varying conditions and suitable to
discriminating taste. The essentials
are fresh air, pure water, relaxation
from effort, nourishing food in guam
titles suggested by common sense and
perfect mental po.se. These pro-
yided, the ordinary case will yield
sooner or later in exact accordance
with the patients disposition to be
fairly decent.
Some have the grip abott every 30
days and find a diet of hot lemonade
oranges, angel food and ice cream
greatly conducive TO recovery. It has
been noted, however, that if the treat
ment is withheld the disease will not
recnr.
Then there is that form that attacks
the old sport. For him nothing Is so
efficacous as hot whisky and under
the treatment he RECEIVERS promptly,
but the malady returns shortly and
with each renewal of the attack the
requirements with respect to the
amount of treatment seems to grow
in geometrical progression until at
length nothing less than a quart of
the remedy is found efficacious.
When this condition is apparent the
treatment should be changed to cold
water baths three times daily After
the first day the patient will be ali
right.
Women are most liable to an attack
along about the first of December
and again just before the Easter sea
son. With feminine folk the disease
is one peculiarly controlled by psy-
Geological conditions; and theater
tickets, the suggestion of sealskin
sacque or the sight of millinery win
have been known to accomplish a
speedy cure. The woman whose hus-
band is henpecked needs vigorous
treatment, and the application of q
bed Stat or an AK handle has been
known to produce excellent results.
Then there is that form of the grip
that is the real thing. When its
searching insidiousness becomes ap-
parent in your anatomy follow the
prescription suggested at the begin
ning,-fresh air, plenty of cold wa
ter, good, plain food and not too much
of it, mild cathartie.

UGLY ADS BARRED.

Springfield (Mass) Union.-We be-
lieve that public sentiment will heart
lily indorse the action of the city coun-
Gil in barring advertising vehicles
from the principal business streets and
also the suspension of banners across
those streets, for advertising purposes.

subject of advertising would suggest
that every person be allowed to pur-
sue the methods which specially COM

interests.
Glaring advertising signs are out Of

they are drawn by horses, propelled

the same length of time. New orders
placed by the roals are for an entirely
different type. Nothing but large
steel cars are now thought of for the
freight service. Their carrying ca
pacity is more than double those they
replace. This is expected to save a
great deal of time in the making up
and handling of trains, and to in
crease the average service obtained
from the equipment.
A company has been organized to
construct a new railroad system in
Cuba. 1t is known as the Yumuri
Rail and Tramway company and is an
American corporation, organized un-
der the laws of New York and deriv-
ing all its capital from American
sources The project is to build d
road from the northeast to the south
east coast of the island. The auth
orized capital is s1,200.000, of which
$1,000,000 is common stock and 5000,
600 cumulative per cent. preferred
stock. No bonds are to be issued.
In the first place a broad gauge
steam railroad is to be built from the

Now that the railroads as 4 rule

THE TALE OF THE STRAW VOTE
BY DEAN COLLINS.

BY DEAN COLLINS.
1t happened before the election,
Twas down at Bird Center you know
The day that we all took straw vote,
To see how the lection would go.
Though most Of US hailed from the
Southland,
We laid all our prejudice by
And solemnly fixed up our ballots
The way that seemed right, in our
eye.
And when all the ballots were counted
We ran to the drug store a-cryin'
"Hey fellows, we've just took q straw
vote
And its undivided for Bryant"
Well, eight or ten fellows around there
Just looked at us fellows an laughed
And answered, We've just took vote
The country stands solid for Taft!"
Well, one word led on to another
It'll we was most fightin' mad, then
Bill Smith said (he's quiet and peace
fuD
Say, why not let's vote it again?"
That calmed us; we all put our coats
on,
An gatherin' round in the store,
We put all our prejudice under
And voted it over once more
And say, we'll you may not believe it,
But we counted the votes before
leavin',
To see how the parties were standin'
And - darned il they didn't break
even.

"BEN" HAYDEN PASSES AWAY
Was One of the Most Prominent
Figures in Early History of
Oregon.

A message was received from Salem
late yesterday afternoon announcing
the death Of Hon. Benjamin f. Hay
den, which occurred at his home in
that city at s o'clock yesterday morn
ing.
Mr.. Hayden was SO years of age and
had been resident Of this state since
1852. Actively engaged in the politics
OF the state during the greater portion
OF his long life here, he was one Of the
most forceful and interesting charac-
ters in the history of Oregon.
In 1866, shortly after his coming to
Oregon, he enlisted with the Oregon
regiment of volunteers for service in
the Yakima War, and during the
time of his connection with the army,
was elevated to the position of captain.
After the close of the war, he returned
to Polk county and settled on his claim
near Eola.
In 1860, he was elected County Judge
OF Polk county, being the first man to
occupy that position after the admis-
sion of Oregon to statehood. Later
he was elected to the legislature and
during his term in that office, served
as speaker Of the House of Repre-
sentatives.
In the legal profession he was
known throughout Oregon as one Of
the strongest men of his time, and
when he was at his best, it became
almost a proverb in the courts in
which he practised that for a man to
employ Ben Hayden on his case made

that IL he heard any one say L was a

anything good about you," he went
on to explain, they'll say you are a

about the same as saying you are no

said, what am to be when I'm not
good -hearted?" He came right back
at me and says: 81 want you to be
known as a hustler, and when they
see you wheel up in front of their
place want them to know that their
order has arrived right on time, and
that it will open up just as they
expected it would when they bought it,
without any omissions or com
missions; we'll, sir, there are certainly
no commissions or tips OF any kind
on this job, and not much chance for
any omissions for the reason that the
old man watches us too closely. He
is good natured, all right, If every
thing goes right, but If anything goes
wrong, he makes it right and that's
no fairy tale. You should see what a
lot of home product we are selling
now. Dallas bread, butter, cookies
and cakes give perfect satisfaction
and the boss takes pleasure in selling
them.
