WONEN'S CLUB TO.
SELL SEALS
MONEY TO BE RAISED TO
FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS.
Committee Is Appointed to Take
Charge of Campaign For Red Cross
Stamps During Holidays.

AT the meeting Of the Woman .
Club last Saturday, some important
steps were taken in the way of adj
vancing the usefulness of the club.
A committee was appointed to UNDER
take the systematic sale of Red
Cross Christmas seals. As is well
known, these seals are sold for the
sole purpose of raising funds to be
used in the fight against tuberculosis.
The club women of Oregon are now
taking an active part in this great
fight. The State Federation of Wo-
men s clubs this year has the Oregon
agency for these seals outside of
Portland, and every cent raised out
side of that city will be spent in tu-
bercular work in the remainder OF
the state. Heretofore the proceeds
have all been given to the Visiting
Nurses Association, and were used
in Portland. Now the fund will be
handled by a board Of trustees, and
may be used anywhere in the state of
Oregon. The committee who will
have charge of this sale is composed
of Miss Nola Coad, Miss Lilah Nc
Daniel, and Miss Gladys Canter.
Planning Entertainment.
The club also voted for the APP
pointment of an educational commit
tee, which is expected to be an inn
portant factor in improvement work.
An entertainment of some kind
will be given on the last Wednesday
in January, for the benefit of the
Scholarship Loan fund. This fund is
raised by the clubs of the state and
loaned to worthy girls who are un-
able to finish without assistance,
their preparations for the work
they have chosen. AS soon as they
become wage earners this money is
returned to the trustees and is used
to help others in the same way.

who has suffered as severely from
kidney disease as I have during the
past ten years. had acute pains
throughout my body and often my
back was so weak and stiff that !
could not stoop. My kidneys were
also disordered and too frequent
passages of the kidney secretions
caused me to arise many times in the
night. My limbs became badly swOl-
len and there was a pufiness beneath
my eyes. I doctored a great deal
but did not receive relief until
began using Doan's Kidney Pills
I felt better from the first and
continued taking them until every
symptom was gone. Doan's Kidney
Pills saved my life and for that rea-

The above statement was given on
September 7, 1907, and on December

EXPERIMENTS WITH SOUND
Blowing Out Candle With Tuning
Fork and Resonator-Sand Fig
ures on Metal Plates.

Reporting physics lecture by Prof
Sylvanius P Thompson, the London
Chronicle says: 1.-THE youngsters who
attended were shown how candle
could be blown out by sound. In the
first place, you want a very powerful
tuning fork and a resonator Ca hollow
sphere of brass), which is exactly In
harmony with it. When the tuning
fork is struck it sets up waves OF
sound. The resonator, hearing the
note, Immediately responds with sym
pathetic waves, which are strong
enough to blow out a candle placed
behind it. other experiments were
the forming of what are known as
Chladni sand figures on plates of
most beautiful results, as Professor
Thompson explained, are obtained
with fiat plates of brass of uniform
thickness and of a low note When a
bow is drawn along the edge so as to
set up vibrations In one part, there Is
discord with the vibrations of the
other parts, and the sound immediate
ly assumes geometrical figures. The
greater the discord the better the pat
terms. Hundreds of patterns can be
produced in this way on one plate.
Many demonstrations were made to
show how, when things are tuned to
the same note, they vibrated in SYM
pathy. A big tuning fork was struck
and then stopped-but another tuning
fork, which was of exactly the same
pitch. went on humming, though II
had not been touched"

VALUE OF A STRONG MEMORY
Some Who Possess Il Are Not Other
wise Above the Ordinary Chill
dren Learn Readily.

While strong memory is a great
convenience, 1t is not necessarily an
advantage.
Cardinal Mezzofanti, whose memory
Tor words was so retentive that he
never forgot one after hearing it once.
and which enabled him to acquire
more than hundred languages. was
In most respects a very ordinary per-
son. Pliny relates that Mithridates,
king of Pontus, had so excellent a
memory that he was able TO speak
fuently % languages native to the
provinces of his vast empire. Yet he
was cruel barbarian.
A well-known peripatetic elocution-
LIST and reciter still living declares
that he can repeat, without further
preparation, about 5000 selections in
prose and poetry. He probably tells
the truth. since he has been training
his mind in this particular direction
for many years.
On the other hand, such men as Sir
Walter Scott, Macaulay, and Glad
stone we're not only possessors Of ex-
cellent memories, they were also men
Of good judgment.
Among human beings children have
the most remarkable memories. I'M
der favorable circumstances they will
learn three and even four languages,
SO as to be able to express their
thoughts with equal ease in any one
of them by the time they are six or
seven years Of age.
And they accomplish this remark
able feat without any aid from the
mnemonic devices to which adults are
compelled to resort when they under
take similar task. They learn words
and phrases unconsciously, and rarely
forget them as long as they live. On
the other hand, grown-ups rarely ac-
quire accurate pronunciation of a for
eign language, although they may be
able to use it with entire correctness.
It is a common belief that the mem
DRY is more tenacious in early life
than in later years. That seems to
depend almost entirely on the indi
vidual.

the desirable features of it's arrange
ment. The living room and dining
room are of large size and open to-
gether by means of an arch opening.
The kitchen is well away from the
rest of the house, being separated
from the dining room by the pantry,
an arrangement which has been found
to be very satisfactory. There are
two good sized bedrooms very well
placed. The bathroom is convenient
ly located.
The attic space in this cottage is
valuable for storage purposes, and
since it is well ventilated serves to
keep the first story cool during hot
summer weather. The exterior is
sided with clap-board, having band
courses and corner boards used for
ornamental effect. The cornice is rath-
er wide and is of open timbered con-
struction. Altogether this is an ex-
ceptionally attractive and economical
little residence for the small family.

II is plainly evident to all observers
hat the number of people who take
IN intelligent interest in house plan
hing and house building is increasing.
Tbe popular press reveals this ten
lency very clearly. Illustrations and
descriptions of modern houses and
discussions of architectural subjects
are cverfiowing from the technical
Dress, finding a place in the newspa-
gers and popular magazines.
This growing interest among the
people is all to the good. Architecture
has suffered too long from popular ig-
aorance and popular apathy. General
ly speaking, people get the kind of
architecture they Ike and the kind of
building they are willing to accept.
There is enough architectural genius
and enough skilled craftsmanship in
our midst today to transform every
town and village into a thing of beau
ty and to provide every family with
beautiful and healthy home.
If the genius of the architect and
the skill of the workman are unem-
ployed, or are wasted on unworthy
objects, it is because the demand for
this beautiful architecture has not
yet become general and insistant. No

the relative positions of dining room

as much good sound building as $4,000

this means being content with two sit

three. or abandoning a projected in

in the knowledge that all the material
used in the house is thoroughly sound
and has been put together in work
manlike manner.
When the essential thing-good
buildings secured, man may find
it possible to indulge his fancies in
many matters of detail; but he should
be warned against too earnestly striv-
ing after the ideal of the picturesque.
Having determined on the accommo-

will be well advised to be guided in
regard to the design by his architect
The little cottage illustrated here
with is an example of a building
thoroughly constructed and arranged
according to the very best ideas
for convenience; yet at the same
time some little thought has
been given to make the building at

materially to it's cost
