ture of the nation. Much progress has
been made in recent years in dealing
with the child problem, and various In
stitutions having for their purpose the
care of dependent and the reclamation
of the delinquent children have come into
existence. There are many such in Bir-

Realizing the great good these institu-
tions are doing and that i'm almost every
instance the institutions are badly crowd
ed or at least are hampered for the lack
of funds. and desiring to arrive at the
greatest efficiency in dealing with the
child problem, the Childrens Aid society

Why not try to save their mother for

Then If this cannot be done, the ques-

then the home must be thoroughly in

This man makes a statement
which he cannot carry out to a
logical conclusion. For instance:
The use of cream upon the skin
is merely a cleanser, or an emol-
lient to soften and make it more
supple and fine. It has the same
effect as when you put oil upon a
burn; it relieves the dryness, and
gives back to the skin some of
the natural oiliness, which is
burned out of it by our climate,
the wind, our over-heated rooms,
and the universal use of soaps.
If this gentleman objects to
the use of cream in outward ap-
plication he might, with quite as
much sense, object to the out
ward use of soap and water. The
properties of pure cream are
quite as cleansing to the skin
and oft-time not as hurtful as
soap which contains much lye

man simply because she was
afraid of being artificial. Neither
do 1 think that anyone can object
to the filling of teeth with awhile
substance instead Of gold, simply
because it is more natural look

Men insist upon beauty in wo-

No sensible woman today at
tempts an artificial charm unless
she can make It seem real. She
has learned that health is the
basis of beauty, but that beauty
is greater than health, because
she can be healthy without being
beautiful, but she cannot be beau

Therefore she feels that after do

WAR ON RUSTLERS

In order to perfect an organization

and safeguarding of their business,
cattlemen or eastern Oregon and
southern Idaho are meeting in Baker.
a. w. Rugg of this city is represent
ing the Umatilla county beef growers,
having been chosen at meeting last
saturday. He left Yesterday morning
for the convention.
One of the particular matters which
will be discussed is a plan to bring an
end TO the extensive practice of cattle
rustling' which takes a heavy annual
toll from the owners of the herds. 1t
IS proposed to have an inspector of
brands stationed at the stock yards in
Portland, who will have a list of the
brands of the members of the organi-
zation and check each shipment of
cattle for the proper band. BY this
method, it is believed the sale Of stol-
en- cattle through the regular chan
nels will be stopped
The commission men and stock
yard officials are willing to cooperate
with the stocllmen in this matter. it
is said inasmuch as they are held
responsible for stolen cattle which
they purchase. An instance is recit-
ed where a carload of Umatilla county
cattle was sold to Portland COM
mission firm for $14OO which amount
the owner of the stock collected from
the commission men when he discov-
cred they had bought his property.
