Your Child's Health
Your First Thought

If you have children, naturally your
first thoughts are for their health.
You certainly want them to develop
strong, healthy constitutions The
most careful attention must be given
when children show the first symp-
toms of the many common ailments.
Perhaps they are weakly and thin, or
grow too fast, thus sacrificing
strength. These and other apparent
ly minor ailments may be the fore
runner to weak constitution for life.
Such children need Jayne's Tonic
Vermifuge which Is essentially chill
dren's tonic. First Of all. It will prop
erly care for the child's stomach. 1t
will also improve the appetite, and
will add strength to the other organs
of the body. In cases Of thin or i'm
pure blood, 1t increases the number
of red corpuscles enabling the en-
riched blood to keep the body healthy
and strong.
Among the most common ailments
that children develop is that of dis
ordered stomach, leading to an i'm
paired digestion. In many cases this
trouble is due to parasites in the in
testinal tract. To correct such trou-
BILE, Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge is un-
surpassed.
For more than eighty years mil
lions OF children have been restored to
health through the use of this tonic.
Insist upon Jayne's: accept no other.
Sold by druggists everywhere. DR..

THE FATNESS OF HEALTH.
SamOse Fills Out the Curves an
Makes Thin People Fat.

SamOse Fills Out the Curves and
Makes Thin People Fat.
IF you are thin, your health is not
what 1t should be. If you are losing
weight steadily there is something
wrong that should be attended to al
once. You cannot be healthy and
strong IL you are thin.
Perfect health and good, solid
beautiful flesh can only come through
the use OF Samose, the remarkable
flesh-forming food.
Samose Is not drug or stimulant;
1t Is scientific flesh-forming food
that restores thin people to a normal
condition of good healthy flesh.
There are thousands OF unhappy,
nervous thin people who would look
and feel entirely different If they
were only fat and plump. Let them
use Samose and they will soon notice
remarkable results
These statements are confirmed by
the Pendleton Drug Co., who offer
to refund the money to anyone buy
ing and using Samose who does not
gain in weight as promised. The risk
is all theirs. The thin and scrawny
can buy Samose at the Pendleton Drug
store with the knowledge that IL 1t is
not successful it will cost absolutely
nothing.

HARSH VOICES WRECK HOMES

The easiest of bad habits to acquire
is that of speaking loudly, Language
has become so complex that not only
is it necessary to say the right thing,
but it must be said in the right way
A phrase may be said in jest or in
earnest; a rebuke may be kindly or
stern; an order may be willingly oil
unwillingly received according to the
tone in which it has been said. Many
a faithful workman is unjustly accus-
ed of unwillingness and disloyalty
because of the churlish manner in
which orders are received; many a
master is regarded as unfeeling by
his employees because his actions are
forgotten and only the sting of his
sharp manner remembered.
There are more homes that have
been wrecked by a misuse of the
voice than in any other way. A sim
pie question, "Is dinner ready?" put
by the husband may be said in such
a way to arouse every ounce of fight
ing blood a woman has. or the same
words may be put in such tone that
they bring forth a hearty welcome.
The old song, 1T isn't what e says,
it's the narsty way e says it," is the
real answer to many a question put
in the divorce courts.
Voices carry a great deal farther
than one expects. 1t is seldom that
one-half of the volume of voice is

Surprising Reason Why
Bees Are Stung to Death

been collected by the bee.
But the Philanthus does not need
to resort to this theft in order to OBJ
tain nectar; it is as we'll provided for
as the honey bee itself. Scarcely
would it risk death from the bees
sting in order to secure that which
could be obtained without danger.
The mother insect has other duties
besides food; she has to provide for
her offspring. When an investigation
into the habits of the larvae are
made, it is seen that the grub must
have flesh to feed on. Experiments
of the larva of the Philanthus-
showed that the larvae could not eat
the food, although it was the very diet
provided for them by the adult in
sect. Elaborate experiments were
made as a result of which it was
learned that even the very smallest
amount of honey is poisonous to the
larvae of the honey-eating Philanthus.
and that the brutal slaughter of the
honey bee and the elaborate precau-
tions made to exule every drop of
honey from the abdomen were the
only means whereby the insect moth
er could provide food for her little
ones.
All sorts of insects prey upon 9TH
ers to provide food, not only for them
selves, but for their larva; but as far
as known this is the only insect who
profits in this peculiar manner. secur-
food I,,
stores of nectar while it is preparing
the body of its insect for its young.
Another peculiar feature of this the
wisdom of the Philanthus, and that
is that it does not kill bees that are
on their way to the honey fields, but
wait until they are laden with the nee
tar, hereby insuring their own meal,
although this may be merely because
the laden honey bee is less liable to
sting the Philanthus.

MANY TOWNS HAVE
KICKS ON RAILWAY
State Commission Expects to Spend
Three Weeks In Eastern Oregon.

Baker, Ore, Aug. 2.-The members
of the state railroad commission will
probably be busy in eastern Oregon
for at least three weeks, according to
the statement of Chairman Clyde b
Aitchison. The commissioners are
here for the resumption of the hear
ing in the Sumpter vallew log rate
case, which they expect to finish to-
morrow.
They came here from The Dalles,
where the matter of the construction
of sand fences along the Columbia
river by the O.-W. r. & n. was under
consideration. The next stop is at
Vale, where train service on the Ore
gon Short Line branch from Ontario
to Brogan will be investigated Then
the commissioners will go to Kalema.
where the sidetracking facilities have
been the subject of complaint. The
next jump will be to Athena, where a
complaint has been registered by SEN
ator Barrett in the matter of the fenc-
es and cattle guards on the Pasco di-
vision of the Northern Pacific.
Secretary Aitchison and possibly
Commissioners Campbell and Miller
will then go to Enterprise, on the Jo-
seph branch of the O.-W. r. & n. to
60 further into the investigation Of
the wool rate question.

Never before in the history of the
United States have the women of this |
country built up such tremendous
movement as is the case with the
present undertaking of the Woman
Titanic" Memorial to erect in Wash
ington a towering arch or majestic
monument in honor of the men who
gave up their lives on the Titanic to
save the women and children. Prac-
tically every one of the $4,000 wo-
mems clubs and organizations of AM
erica has already pledged contribu-
tions and cooperation to this cause.
Interest in it has been aroused from
New York to Hawaii, from the Great
Lakes to Porto Rico, among rich and
poor, among working women and wo-
men of leisure.
Not only have all the circles of civ
.ilian life responded to the appeals for
help in building this great memorial,
but the women of the United States
army and navy have been organized
to work as units in contributing mon
ey and arousing further interests in
this plan of American women to hon
or the courage and nobility of men.
The movement known as the Wo-
mans Titanic" Memorial was inau-
gurated during the last week of April
when Mrs. John Hays Hammond IA
nous for her philanthropic work,
yielding to the suggestions of women
from all parts of the country, con-
sented to form the organization and
TO do everything in her power to help
it to speedy Clccess.
Through her, Mrs. John Hay, wild
ow of the late secretary of state, was
persuaded to accept the chairman
ship. Mrs Hammond became sec
retary of the organization, and to the
fund Mrs. Taft, the wife of the presi-
dent. contributed the first dollar. The
influsnce and executive ability of
these women. with whom are associ-
ated more than one hundred of the
most prominent women in the country
are supplement by the financial and
legal ability and advice of such men
af Edward ]. Stellwagen, chairman
of the last presidential inaugural
committee, and George X. McLana-
han, leading attorney of the nation
al capital.
Ever since the movement was in
augurated, contributions have been
coming into the central offices IN
Washington at the rate of $500 or
more a day Some of it has been
given in sums ranging as high as So
900. while most of it has been in the
shape of $1.OO contributions from wo-
men and young girls who wrote that
they were sorry that they could not
give more And in the end, it Is ex-
pected, this memorial will be built
principally by those who make the
smaller contributions, so that, when
the arch is outlined against the sky
1t will have been erected by the rep
resentative womanhood of America.
In response to many inquiries which
have been received, the following
coupon is printed to enable everybody
to forward money to the offices OF
the memorial. 1t is necessary only to
cut out the coupon, fill out the blanks
and mail the coupon with the contri-
button to the address given on the
coupon.

needed. A man speaking in small
hall, filled with men, ordinary speak
ing tone to be heard distinctly in ev-
cry part of the hall. Yet few seem
to see their own room. not one
twentieth the size, needs only one
twentieth part of this volume for the
voice to be heard clearly. Wife will
call to husband in a small New York
apartment as though they were ships
exchanging. a hail at a half-mile dis
tance, and boys-but boys will shout
anyway!
The really sad part of it is that a
loud voice in course of time neces-
sarily tends to become harsh, espe-
cia.ly in the American climate, which
is accused of being very ill-adapted
for the throat. City men. particularly
in New York and Chicago, tend to
talk loudly because of the noise of the
city. But the fault lies in the fact
that numbers of people try to talk in
conditions which are not fit for talk
ing. To try to converse in the tube
or in the subway is to ruin the tones
of the voice and to lead the way for
harsh tone. Many persons are ac-
cused of being unfeeling or bad tenn
pered when their principal fault is
brusque manner or an unsympathet-
ic tone.
A soft well-modulated voice is of
far greater assistance in the world,
even in the marriage market, than
personal beauty. There are few things
which possess a more definite value
as a commercial asset than gracious
ness of manner and gentleness OF
tone. We are not born with harsh
voices, we acquire them.

Among the enemies of the honey
bee is an insect whose habits have not
been understood until very recently
and whose hunting methods are full
of surprises. The Philanthus, a crea
ture which lives on nectar, as do the
bees. has always been puzzle to nat
uralists because of it's habit of chas-
ing and killing bees, and this mixture
of flesh and syrup diet has never
seemed natural. Science has at last
just solved the mystery of the extra
ordinary conduct of the Philanthus.
When a bee is near enough for at
tack the Philanthus draws up her
hind legs, points the antennae forward
and suddenly springs to the attack.
The bee, in spite of its sting, is rolled
over and with the speed of lightning
the Philanthus curves her body un-
der so that the bees sting-stabbing
| back and forth-can only encounter
the mailed surface of the back. Then
with an art which is beyond measure
wonderful the Philanthus drives it's
sting upward and forward at a mi
croscopic point on the throat of the
]
the neck. There is slight trembling
of the limbs and the bee is dead.
So far, there is nothing very sur
prising in this attack, it is similar to
that of many insects of prey. But
what follows is most unusual. AS soon
as the victim is dead, the Philanthus
begins a most elaborate system of
massage, manipulating the abdomen
of the bee until, drop by drop, all the
honey that was in the abdomen is
squeezed out of the mouth of the
corpse, the murderer eagerly sucking
up every drop of the sugary juice. For
at least half an hour the process is
continued, until every drop is squeez-
ed out of the body of the bee. 1t is
an atrocious meal, but it clears up one
mystery at least-the honey-eating
Philanthus is not an eater of flesh,
only of the nectar that has already

1912 PAMPHLETS WILL COST
STATE VERY LARGE SUM
VIII Have 26i Pages Each and There
Will Have To BE 16O,OS0 of Them;
$4,000 Go To Multnomah County.

Salem, Or. Aug. 2-It will cost
the state something over $4,000 to
furnish the voters with the pamphlet
containing the initiative and refer
endum measures and the arguments
for and against them. This year the
pamphlet. of which 16O,0S0 will be
printed, will be larger than ever be-
fore. 1t will have 26i pages of read
ing matter, while the pamphlet last
year had 2OS pages
Estimates place the cost Of printing
the pamphlet at $4,000, the binding
$25OO, the paper stock $4,000, postage
$4,000 and mailing $3.50, making a
total of $22,25O.
Six counties will have county meas
ures in the pamphlet. 1t is now pro-
posed to print these county measures
with the exception of those applying
to Multnomah, in supplemental form
and fold them in with the regular
pamphlet of general measures that
are to be sent to the voters of the
county concerned i'm the county meas
ures. The counties which have spe-
cial measures are Multnomah, Clack-
amas, Coos. Harney, Jackson and Wal
Iowa. AS Multnomah county will re-
quire 52,S00 pamphlets, they will be
printed separately AID the county
measures will be printed in with the
general measures
The law provides that the pamph-
lets must be mailed by the secretary
of state not later than September IL,
but Secretary of State Olcott expects
to have them in the hands of the vot-
ers considerably earlier than the date
fixed by law. He expects to beg n
mailing them between August 20 and
25.

to their physical perfection. The
proper rearing of babies will be dis
cussed by lecturers, physicians and
nurses and the modern ways of caring
for child will be demonstrated In
the welfare exhibit.
Proper and harmful methods or

"PLAYING THE GAME"
Truly, President Taft Does Not Follow
System Politically.

That is q criticism often heard o.
President Taft 1t Is the professional
politician usually who voices II, but
often II is repeated by those who are
accustomed to take their estimates OF
public men and their political opinions
from others.
Playing the game has been the occu-
patton of time serving politicians from
time immemorial. Men who regard
politics as a game like to see It played
deity. Other men without fixed ideas
on the subject parrot the criticism
passed by the experts.
Playing the game In politics neces-
sarily has deceit A. its fundamental
principle.
The public man who sees develop
ing an issue that might prove embar-
RAISING to him personally. and who
tention to another. . lesser. but q per-
fectly safe. issue. plays the game.
The public man who makes public
protestations Of his snmity toward
swollen wealth and then holds secret
conferences with the representatives
Of that wealth. plays the game.
The public man who breaches one
code of political morality and prac-
tees another plays the game.
The public man who utters sounding
but empty phrases. no matter how de-
lightful his diction or how superb his
sloQuence. plays the game.
The public man who makes promises
impossible Of fulfillment plays the
game.
The public man who puts tho &C
quirement of public favor above ideals
of public service plays the game.
Truly, President Taft does not know
how to play the game.
He has been reared in an atmos-
phere of service rather than politics.
as we have come to know politics The
thing that has always concerned him
Is the doing of [ act. not the spec
tacular staging OF it. nor the .exploita-
ton of 1t, nor. on the contrary. the
concealment OF it.
To serve has always been his ideal.
not merely to acquire the appearance
of serving.
1t has been impossible for him to
look upon public service as a game.
The public's business. as he regards II,
IL serious business.
There is reason for the belief that
the American people as a whole share
