keeping. These fifty families are to
hire general manager at $1,000
per year. head cook at $4,000 per
year, and ten undercooks and ten
maids. The meals are to be cooked
at central kitchen and delivered
by auto truck to the fifty families
all ready to eat. The ten maids are
to visit each family in turn and
clean windows and do other neces-
sary housework.
In speaking of this plan, the New

ROGUE VALLEY CREAMERY.

The organization OF the Rogue
Valley Creamery is attended by
greater success than the most en-
thusiastic even had hoped. Nearly
a thousand cows are already in sight
and the stock was more than half
subscribed at the first call. The
cows are not all now in the valley,
as the most OF the farmers would
purchase them only with the assur-
ance that creamery would make
market for the cream, and II is free
ly predicted that more than 1000
cows will be supplying the creamery
before another season is gone.
The cooperative feature is to be
carried out to the eompletest extent
In this institution, and the bylaws
committee promises some features
in this that will meet with the ap-
proval Of the COW owner. The Wild
eryille people have been giving
great study to this feature OF CO.
operation. and have evolved some
principles that meet with the great
est favor and that will probably be
adopted here.

tough for the housewife to take the
old fashioned rubboard and do the

THE WILSON SERUM FOR FREE
TRADE.

Two experiments are to be tried
upon the American people. One, the
application of turtle serum for the
treatment of tuberculosis, deals with
diseased patient to whom the in.
lection OF the cure" is a hope and
its failure would probably leave the
patient no worse on than before
The other, the application of the
Wilson brand OF free trade, may be
fraught with result that will make a
patient out OF fairly healthy sub.
ject.
A little more than one-third OF
the voting population of the United
States made possible the free trade
experiment. Questions of tariff are
not as hide-bound as they were a
quarter of century ago. Yet the
industries of the country have been
built up through the protective sys-
TEN, and the producer and the labor
er have benefited alike from what
ever of benefits there was in the
system.
The time for arguing for or
against protection or tariff for rev.
enue only has passed for the time
being as test is about to be made,
and the people can have an ocular
demonstration of what the free trade
serum will do when injected into
the blood of the nation. A study of
the proposed schedule is not espec-
tally satisfying to the people of the
west, however, as very many of the
industries OF the district are receiv-
ing an especially heavy injection of
the virus. The wool-grower, whose
path has been none too rosy during
the past few years even under pro-
lection, will be one Of the first to
feel the change. With free wool it
is threatened that the tlocks will dis
appear and that disaster will come
upon the flock master The compen-
satlon offered is that the suit of
wooden texture will cost us few
cents less. Four years will spell
either the success or the disaster Of
this tampering with schedule X"
The products of the western agri-
culturist are largely on the free list,
Live stock and wheat, potatoes, milk,
vegetables, hay, fruits. and like pro-
ducts are either to come without
tarift or the rate has been greatly
slashed True, steel rails will come
little cheaper and the building of
railroads may be of lessened cost Tor
the hauling OF these cheapened pro-
duets, but nothing has been said OF
a lowered freight rate for haul over
rails that cost a few dollars less per
mile.
The experiment will be watched
with interest for the pulse of the pa
tient will be taken by keeping the
finger upon the individual pocket
book. The greatest good to the
greatest number will be the test,
The verdict will come in November,

The water wheels are the largest in

OvERWORK BRINGS OLD AGE
No Human Being Was Meant to Labor
on and On Without the Proper
Rest.

Industry's a fine thing, but a virtue
may easily run to seed and become a
fault. And don't work too fast. Don't
rush. Take things quietly and steadily.
Don't excite yourself over every little
trifie. Don't be restless and impatient.
1t is the mean and petty traits OF
character very often that bring lines
and wrinkles to the most open rae
the small spites, the petty jealous
les. They have a knack OF steadily
and surely eating up all that is sound
and wholesome in the character. And
as moral ills react physically, prema-
ture age comes on with all it's urde-
sirable signs. Keep your temper I'M
der control. A burst of passion OFTEN
does one incalculable harm. 1t jars
the nerves and upsets the whole con
stitution. Very ~hysterical people are
frequently quite PROSTATE for days
after an outburst OF temper.
Wrinkles are often caused by facial
