DINING SERVICE RE-
QUIRES MUCH LAUNDRY

How would you like to wash an av-
erage of 100, 600 napkins each month of
the year, Mrs. Ilousekeeper? How
would you like to aunder the same
number of dish cloths every thirty
days? If you had to launder 40, 900
table cloths each month which in
cludes starchmg and ironing wouldn't t
you be pretty tired at the end of each
days work, especially if you also had
to keep all this linen in repair?
Care of the table linen is just one
small item that has to be attended to
by the dining car department of the
Southern Pacific Company. An aver
age of 3l5, 900 pieces of linen are laun-
dered each month in this department
of the railroad, and each piece is care
fully gone over by inspectors in order
to detect tears, or pieces tnat are be-
ginning to show wear. At the com
missary department of the Southern
Pacific at Oakland, California, there
is maintained a linen repair room
where thousands of table cloths, dish
towels, cooks and walters aprons,
ETC., have to be kept in perfect condi-
tlOu all VI IHe lltHe. rOuIl tieC-
trically operated sewing machines are
running steadily eight hours of the
six week days. These machines have
been so constructed that hole in a
piece of table linen can be darned SO
we'll that it is sometimes impossible to
detect the stitches from the original
weave.
Every piece of soiled linen, as it is
brought in from trip, is counted.
1t is again counted when it goes tc
the laundry and another careful count
and inspection takes place when it is
returned. Women do all of this work.
A majority of the women employees
who handle this linen were dependent

SOME COLONISTS
ARE WORTH WHILE


A type Of col0nists Of which Oregon
cannot have too many is reported from
Hood River. The iustallment thus far
consists of ten families. In one Of
these are ten children, while others
are well equipped in this respect. A
particularly encouraging feature IN re-
gard 70 these c0lonists IS that they do
not tarry in the town. They seem to
have had definite plans before leaving
their eastern homes and are anxious TO
settle down and begin work. Colonists
or settlers Of this type will help them
selves by this change and be an honor
and credit to the commonwealth. We
shall be glad 10 chronicle the arrival
of such settlers in any section OF the
state. They are the kind Of people that
Oregon needs and the kind that need
Oregon, since here they will ind a
wide and varied field for their endeavor.
The family man that knows what he
wants and is equipped with a general
knowledge of the different sections
and resources of the state; who has
chosen his location and loses no time
in reaching it after he starts, will be
very likely to have his highest expecta-
tions of Oregon realized and be glad
that he came. 1t is the aimless wan
derer who EXPECTS something for moth
ing, shifts about taking jobs in the
city, or quarters his family upon the
edge of village for a few months
waiting for something to turn up, who
whines in homesick tones of 'loway'
or "Missury" and longs to return to
their snowy areas.
Let a man come to Oregon with his
family, having a definite location and
purpose in view and with means
enough to settle himself, even in
small way. in his chosen vocation. and
he will be from the first satisfied
and useful citizen.

CRYING FOR HELP
Lots of it in Hood River Daily, But
Growing Less

The kidneys cry for help.
Not an organ in the whole body so
delicately constructed.
Not one so important TO health.
The kidneys are the filters Of the
blood.
When they fail the blood becomes
foul and poisonous. There can be no
health where there is poisoned blood.
Backache is one of the first indica-
tions of kidney trouble. 1t is the kid
neys cry for help. Heed it.
Doan's Kidney Pills are what is
wanted.
Are just what overworked kidneys
need
They strengthen and invigorate the
kidneys help them TO do their work.

citizen.
Mrs. Andy Beatty, 722 Prospect
Ave-, Hood River, Oregon, says "a
member of our family suffered from
backache, headaches, dizzy spells and
pains IN the kidneys. The use of one

MUNCHING APPLES
CURES DRINK HABIT

leone Cass Baer. in Oregonian)
Miss Calamity Step-and-Feteh-lt, the
clever and ultra lady writer from
Kansas, writes that she has been
reading where munching Of apples is
certain cure for the terrible tobacco
and drink habit" So she got busy at
once and tried it, and has become so
convinced of its efficiency that she
has written these lines to the great
brotherhood of hims who smoke and
drink. She calls il
"An Appeal"
When the skies are sad and unhappy
And things look as bad as they can,
It's then get to thinking
That smoking and drinking
Are fine TO put heat in man.
But dear gentlemen friends, don't
give way;
With your enemy hard you must Crap
Pile.
The clouds will roll by,
IL only you'll try
Munching Hood River apple.
If desperate games like pinochle invite
If you fancy you're going insane
You're quite suicidal
And it's tough work to bride
The bad words that fit through your
brain,
A Spitzenburg leisurely bite
And ponder the deed you intended.
You'll find yourself cured,
So we are assured
Before the apple of concord is ended.
With this fruit did the trouble begin.
Just an apple-as everyone knows.
And by its juicy temptation
Planted first in creation
Its rotating harvest Of woes.
So gents, if you'd guard against sin.
Don't trust much to church, book or
chapel,
Just as homeopath's laws
Cure all ills with their cause,
Wouldn't you think it refers to an
apple?
P. S.. i do not think the cure will
be so effective if the. apple is baked or
made into pie or sauce.

As to Adhesive Postage Stamps.

Rowland Hill had nothing to fear from enlightened officers of health foreboding that stamp licking" would disseminate consumption, diphtheria, smallpox and scarlet fever" It is re- markable to recall with what enthusi- asm the public took to stamp licking in 1S40. The adhesive stamp seems to have been only an after-thought of the great postal reformer. whose orig inal proposal covered only the sale of ready-stamped envelopes. Even when he admitted the adhesive stamp as an alternative, he thought 1t would be reserved for exceptional cases" But, in spite of newspaper jeers at 'bits of sticking plaster for dabbing on the letters the public soon showed its mind. The stamped Mulready en- velope proved dead failure while for weeks the supply of sticking plaster fell far below its demand.

REMNANT OF THE ACADIANS
Small Group of Maedaen Islands Populated by Descendants of
 Those Unfortunate People.

Up in the center of the Gulf of St. Lawrence the small group of Mag dalen islands are populated by three or four thousand lineal descendants of the Acadians under Champlain and De Monts, who were driven out of New France, Nova Scotia, by the Eng ish.
 Since the first settlement in 1763 generations of the same families have raised scanty crops in the valleys and fed sheep and cattle on the high, con- ical hills which constitute promi- nent feature of an insular landscape.
 Year after year men have gone out on the waters of the gulf In search of the cod, mackerel and Holsters on which livelihood depends. They are a simple, primitive people, these na- tives of the Magdalens, laboring all the while under circumstances that are most discouraging.
 The archipelago contains 12 or 13 distinct islands. including several grim rocks which are not inhabited and never will be- But the remark able feature about the physical forma- tion of the whole group is the way In which one island is in some instances connected with another by long stretch of sandy beach, enabling a per- son, if he desires to do so, to go for a score of miles or more along the most barren shore in the world, one that is uninhabited and unrelieved by vegeta- tion of any kind, and the only animal life being the thousands of gulls, ferns, gannets and other sea fowl which are extremely numerous in all this region.
