PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in,
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit Of others.
A superintendent of public schools
In n Of the southern states says:
MY mother, since her early child.
hood, was on inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for a
number of years and complained Of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago l was making an off.
:ial visit to a distant part of the coun-
try and took dinner with one of the
merchants of the place. l noticed a
somewhat peculiar favour of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was SO pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, 1 bought a package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were so we'll pleased
with it, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
iition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as we'll
and hearty as the rest of US.
II know Postum has benefited my.
self and the other members of the
family, but not in so marked a de-
gree as in the case of my mother, as
she was a victim of long standing"

THE PRESS COMMITTEE.

Every local organization, of what
soever nature with whatsoever OBJ
ject, so long as it stands for some
thing of immediate and rational con-
Germ to the community, has perfect
right to place in the public prints
whenever it does anything of import
ance beyond its normal routine: But
it must not expect that the reporter
is omniscient and omnipresent, for
he is not. He has to be told and
shown and advised, and ubiquitous
as he is, he must miss some thing in
the course of his ramifications. He is
always eager and anxious for the
news and knows generally where to
go and get it, and how to use it when
he gets it; but it is quite as much the
duty of the lodge, the league, the
fraternity, the association, to see that
he gets it as it is for him to hunt it
up. The interest is mutual: The paper
of this day and age gives more gratui-
tous news than was ever heard of in
days gone by, and is glad to have the
last matter of interest, especially Of
local nature; but there are incidents
and people and facts and plans that
cannot always be reached in time,
owing to the wide range Of the re-
portorial field and the pressure Of
swift time, (for the newspaper is the
creation of single day. and for this
reason all organizations should have
their own especial agents or commit
tees to prepare brief notes, or extend
ed accounts, Of unusual events that
are of public interest, and see to it
that the press gets them in time for
the next immediate isue. A press
committee that knows its business
can do a vast amount Of excellent
service for its principals and often
save it the chagrin Of an unintention-
al oversight on the part of the papers.

fuIness and charm Of the place, as it
strikes the unbiased traveller or
neighbor: in fact, it is nourishing
more antagonism and bitter mal-ad-
iustments, socially, politically, and
personally than is usually allotted to
a community Of its size, But these
do not seem to disturb the current Of
commerce and business in any degree:
that flows on steadily and ereditably,
and the town grows apaee.
The latest phase Of the Longtaine
tragedy, with which all our readers
are quite familiar, transpired on Fri.
day with the deliberate shooting of
DR.. Peacock, county coroner of Wah-
kiakum county, by Mrs. Adeline
Longtaine, the heart-broken mother
Of the young girl whose death, il is
alleged, was due, in whole or in part,
to the doctor, personally and pro-
fessionally. And at this hour that
gentleman is lowering between life
and death here, under the best care
and treatment that can be brought to
his relief. He was already under
bonds to appear for trial at that place,
in February, to answer the law on the
formal allegations lodged against him
in the dreadful premise, and it does
look as though the law might have
been permitted to take its course.
Every man is deemed guiItless until
the measure of his guilt has been es-
tablished by precise and reglar means
provided by the law; and there are
quite as many people there and here to
exculpate and justify the doctor in
this ugly uproar as to condemn and
convict him. Almost anything may
be pardoned to a mother brooding
over the one terrific fact of daugh-
ter's undoing and death, but the sa-
ner and less interested element of any
community can well afford to await
the full play of legal justice. The
feat has been accomplished in the
very same town Of Cathlamet before
and might better have been done in
this particular instance.

OFFICIAL SALARIES,

No official in the land is underpaid
when he voluntarily assumes an Of
flee, either by election or appoint
ment, knowing the compensation that
goes with it for the term he accepts
It for. And there should be no con-
cessions made after he has acquired
Il. Such a system would soon put
the salary scale in an interminable
mess: Some men would want it rails
ed constantly; others(a few rare
souis) might want 1t lowered in just
ice to their economic theories; and
there are those who might want to
serve the people unhampered by any
sort Of salary, but these folk are most
ly dead.
There are certain Offices in the land
that are underpaid, when the weight
and hazard and scope Of the duties
are honestly estimated (along with
the dignity and these should be pro-
vided for but always with view to
the succession; the incumbent has no
right to ask anything. He took the
place knowing what it was worth
and self respect should keep him 81
lent.
There is eonfessedly bad principle
in vogue all over this land of ours in
relation to many Of the public Offices,
and that is that hndreds of billets
have no. compensation whatever at
tached to them, the honor of the post
being, seemingly the full and ade-
quate return the people make for the
sacrifice Of the time and service de-
voted to them by some capable and
easy going citizen. This idea should
be uprooted at once; it is unjust and
unreasonable, and is contributory to
the rule of graft, Rational and decent
salaries should prevail everywhere in
the public service The people have
no more right to ask nor expect free
service than a private concern has,
and they are equally as well able to
pay for all they get. The salaryless
post is traditional thing and belongs
to the days when organic official
dom was in its infancy and there was
little or no money to pay for any
thing. In this day it is folly, mis-
take, danger.
Raise all salaries that are not ade-
quate, and fix salary for every pub
lie function and trust, but do it with
regard to the next man in Office, and
let the incumbent go after the place
again if he wants the benefit of the
increase. The advantage of such a
rule would be to make the incumbent
so zealously attentive to the Office,
its duties and patrons as to insure
the subsequent election or appoint
ment.

A very ancient card game "skat' is
attracting the attention OF the smart
set and the game will soon be one of
the most popular OF card games, This
game was popular early in 1900, in
1896 it was introduced to the students
Of the Leipsig University. Its popu-
larity has steadily increased and it is
now conceded to be the national card
game Of Germany.
Friedrich Ferdinand Hempel, a
lawyer OF Altenbeurg, Germany, has
performed the same service for the
game of skat, as did Edmond Hoyle,
of London, England, for the game Of
whist The game has assumed such
importance that an annual congress is
held when the play is continued for
three days. The first one held in this
country was in St, Louis, in 1893. The
last meeting was held in Chicago with
large attendance and many prizes.
Skat is adaptable to any number Of
players, rendering it particularly ac-
ceptabIe to hostesses who in whist
and bridge functions have been so
often Disconnected by the non-arrival
of a guest. The game is bit intri-
cate, and in some respects resembles
the fascinating game Of 800"
The scientific skat player looks up
on whist as the chess player does
upon dominoes. To learn the routine
of the game is within the reach Of any
student OF its technicalities.
The ensemble pianists, Evelyn and
Erma Ewart, will give a program of
music written for two pianos at the
First Presbyterian church under the
auspices of the Westminster Guild,
on Friday evening, February 5th.
These young artists are devoting
their musical efforts entirely to this
line Of work. They have impressed
Portland audiences with their charm
ing personalities and musical acu-
fIcn, and their career is being watch
ed with great interest. While still
only IS and 10 years old, they have
studied with Mr.. Clifford Nash for the
last FIVE seasons, and he considers
them to possess such unusual gifts
as to approach genius, rather than or
dinary talent. The program while
new has been chosen with a view to
pleasing all tastes, and among other
numbers has a Country Dance of Ne
vim, Concert Waltz by Won Wilm
and the Polonaise from the Arensky
Suite cannot fail to stir the blood Of
even the most musically apathetic.
Miss Irene Simington will contribute
two groups Of songs, and her pleas
ing voice will give an added enjoy
ment to all who hear her.

tendance at the affairs of the week.
There are signs that the weather man

gard to rain, Il looks as if repetition
of the same variety Of weather would
be the order for the coming week.
