Salem, Ore, Oct 1.-Grain rates

sion. This reduction, which averages
about IL IL per cent of the rates now

London.-At the moment when the
United States is being warned by
publists here that employment and
consequent pauperism are likely to
find rapid development in American
social history, some appalling figures
are published showing the extent to
which these two evils have grown in
England. That one person in every
thirty-seven in England and Wales is
a pauper is the central fact in sta
tistics just issued by the local govern
ment board.
The year 1909 opened with just a
little short of 100000 persons in re-
ceipt of relief, an increase of 3.4 per
cent over the previous year. There
were 145, 1885 able-bodied paupers on
January 1, 1909, this vast army of
unproductive consumers having in

The number of able-bodied men re-

New Haven, Conn. Oct. AT the

day Treasurer McClung, who is to
succeed Charles Treat as United
States treasurer rendered his resgna-
tion. He will serve until November
l, when a successor is chosen. Presi-

FRESHMEN RECOMMEND

The freshman class of the univer-
sity at their own instance, called a
meeting at IL o'clock today to pass
resolutions and to correct the misun-
derstanding that they held i'll feel
ings against the sophomores for their
treatment Friday, 1t seems as though
it has been said that certain fresh
men who were hazed were feeling
quite badly over their theatment and
It had even been said that several
were sick over their rough hand
ling. Both of these statements were
positively denied and the spirit of
those present, which included all haz-
ed, was very much in sympathy with
the wayward students. Such re-
marks as I'm glad l had the expert

acterized the tone of the class with
no exceptions. When the following
resolution was read half dozen
sprang to their feet in their readiness
to move that it be carried:
ITO the President and Faculty Of
the University of oregon: We, men,
bers of the class of 1918, realizing the
serious crisis that might be brought
to the university by the expulsion of
any student implicated in the recent

harm has resulted from the affair,

TOWN EXISTS HALF WET
AND HALF DRY

Bristol, Tenn.-To protect the
Tennessee half of Bristol, which is
"dry" against what he describes as
a threatened deluge of drunks from
the wet" or Virginia half of the
city, Recorder Il. Burroughs begin
ming today will impose a minimum
fine of S25 for drunkenness and de-
clares "there is no guarantee the fine
will not be larger"
This action of the recorder is ta-
ken because today the saloons of the
Virginia half of the city were thrown
open in accordance with the court
decision declaring the local option
election of July s, which was won by
the "wets," to have been legal.
Ten carloads of whisky, beer and
other liquors reached the city during
the week.

STARVING WOMAN
HAS FINE JEWELS

Chicago, j. r. Jones, wife of
wealthy citizen of Little Rock, Ark,
was found yesterday by the police,
after she had wandered about the
city lost and hungry for two days
because she could not think of the
name of the hotel where they were
staying and did not know how to ask
her way back.
Wearing jewels valued at more than
$1,000, the woman was found seated
in a doorway, her face sunken by
hunger, laughing loudly in the hys-
terra which resulted from her long
vigil in the streets. Mrs Jones had
ventured alone upon a shopping ex-
peditlon and lost her directions in the
loop district.

Parasite Killing Texas Trees.
From the Galveston Tribune.

According to information received by
the state health department.. a vegetable
parasite, deadly to trees, especially oak
trees, has made its appearance in the
southwestern portion of the state, and as
q result thousands Of large and stately
oaks have been killed and the ravages
continue State Health Officer Brumby,
who has just returned from Galveston.
where he has been on official business
says that this parasite appears something
like moss or ivy and grows on trees and
In a comparatively short time the tree
is dead. Particular attention has been
called to the vicinity of New Braumfeis,
thence in southwestern direction
through San Antonio and westward
Thus far no steps have been taken to
check the ravages of this destroyer of
trees. and an investigation of the matter
does not come within the functions Of the
department of health. consequently it is
more than likely that the pest will con-
tinue its deadly work. DIR. Brumby said
he had been advised that this parasite
has appeared among the trees in some of
the parks, and If that is the case. unless
immediate steps be taken to check 1t.
some of the trees In those parks will be
dead within a short time The Depart
ment Of Agriculture may likely take up
the matter and make a thorough investi-
cation of this pest.

Every three years the international Geo

the earth. the varying force of gravity at
different points on its surface. the weight
and constitution of the globe on which We
live.

DO HUMAN BEINGS EMIT LIGHT
No Authenticated Instances Of HUI
man Phosphorescence.

Translation in the Literary Digest.
Apparently well authenticated cases Of
human phosphorescence have been re-
ported. Mr.. c. F. Holder in his book on
Living Lights tells Of a number Of
these. More recently it has been averred
that even when not powerful enough to
be visible. this phosphorescence, radia-
ton or emission is able to affect a photo
graphic plate. This fact has been both
asserted and denied vehemently, but it
does not appear that much evidence on
either side is forthcoming. There Is moth
ing impossible or even unlikely about
such human radiation, but scientific men
will naturally not accept it without un-
Improbable evidence. Says writer In
Cosmos:
There has been much discussion In tne
French Academy of Sciences since ths
beginning of this year about the aIeeeu
radio-activity of the human BODY. Cgm
mandant Darget maintained that the nu.
man organism gives off radiations 'nat

THE GRAPE "CURE."
Great Thing for the Repatriation
Of Intestinal Functions.

From the Paris Edition. New York Herald
There are multitude Of circumstances
In which the vegetarian diet is imposed
and rather numerous cases in which a
fruit cure" that of grapes in particular.
is indicated. Arthritc patients subject to
urinary or hepatic collie. obese persons
people with difficult digestion. whose in
testinal functions are unsatisfactory, are
improved by grape cure"
The grape cure" lasts from twenty
five to thirty days. It is begun with half
a kilogram taken in three portions an
hour before meals. Progressively the dose
Is increased to from two to three kilo-
grams. Care is taken to swallow only
the grape juice. Grapes which have been
submitted to treatment by copper sui
pilates must be rejected in order to avoid
copper poisoning.
1t is well not to attain the doses Of
four and five kilogrammes, which are at
times recommended and which by their
excess might be dangerous for the fntes-
tines or the liver. 1t is sufficient in fact
to reflect that five kilogrammes Of fresh
grapes represent the enormous dose Of
and even more, in order to see the over
work imposed on the liver by such
cure
The grapes should be taken in the fol-
lowing manner:
About half the dose (from 300 grammes
to ktlOgramme) Is taken in the morning
between 6 and s o'clock. one hour at
least before the first breakfast Twenty
minutes or half an hour should be de-
voted to this task.
A quarter. that is from 200 to 500
grammes. should be taken one hour be-
fore the midday meal The other quar-
ter, from 200 to 500 grammes. should be
taken an hour before the evening repast.
The skins and stones of the grapes
should be thrown out. Above al avoid
grapes treated with sulphates, as has al
ready been said. Certain people believe
II is wiser to wash the grapes one by one
in boiled water. If the grapes are taken
without pleasure, If they cause CASTRO
intestinal troubles. the dose should We
reduced or the cure" should be momen-
tarily suspended.
make moderate repasts and. above all,
to take much exercise.
The first effect of the ingestion Of a
sufficient quantity OF grapes Is to in
crease the amount Of urine, which at the
same time becomes less dense, paler. less
acid and even alkaline in certain cases.
diminution In the quantity of uric acid
Is also noted.
NJ Carlos Of Bordeaux explains the
happy influence of grapes by the potas-
SUM bitartrate which they contain. This
acid salt, IN fact, Is transformed INTO
potassium carbonate, an alkaline salt
which corrects the excess Of acidity
Moreover. the appetite Is augmented
and the gastric and intestinal digestion
stimulated. There is a decrease in the
intestinal fermentation, a laxative action
which may take the form of passing
which Is rapidly followed by
a Repatriation of the Intestinal func-
lions.
