GErIT EIRST-NQI LAST

When a cold grips your system it is
convincing proof that your condition is
weakened-remember that. It's risky
indeed to simply trust your strength to
throw it off, because neglected colds
have brought more serious sickness
than any other one thing, while weak
enlngcathartics and stimulatingsyrups
are often depressing and dangerous.
The one best treatment for any cold
the one so often relied onwhen others
fail, isthe powerful blood-nourishment
in Scott's Emulsion, which feeds the
very sources of bodily strength to sup
press the present cold and generate
strength to thwart further sickness.
Get SCOTS first, not last-and insist
on the genuine-always free from al
cohol and injurious drugs.

BLUFFING STRANGERS.

The people who have returned from
summer outings have many interest
ing memories of new people they
have met. A stay at a resort hotel
is study in human nature. A great
many bluffs are thrown" There are
many people who are very desirous to
impress their fellow visitors that they
occupy positions of wealth, promi-
nence and authority, which at home
they could never possibly fill. 1t
takes much penetration to size up
strangers for what they really are.
At home people may walk to the
station and carry their own hand lug
gage for quite distance. At hotels
they seem to feel they lower them
selves if they carry a small bag a
short distance to the railroad station.
1t might be thought by the observers
that they were able to help them
selves.
1t is funny how people will pinch
and economic in the home life for
fifty weeks in order to swell around
in lavish way at some resort for the
other two.
Many people today prefer the sim
pie life of camps. One great reason
is that they are tired of an atmos-
Tphere where so many persons seem
to be posing for effect.

Hotel Committee
Submits Plans

A meeting of the business men was
held at the Commercial Club rooms
last Thursday afternoon and the hotel
proposition was reported upon and
considered. j. W. Mccoy and V. o.
n. Smith reported for the committee
which has had the hotel matter under
advisement. The substance of their
report was that improved hotel ac-
commodations would have to be start
ed at least as a local enterprise and
by local capital. Two plans for re-
modelling the Hotel Oregon into
modern hostelry were considered. One
was to remodel the present Hotel
Oregon along lines which have been
suggested by Manager Dobbins, at a
probable cost of SIS 900, and the sec
ond to modernize the present build
ing and add an annex, the improve
ment to total a cost of approximately
$4,000. After considerable discus
sion the meeting went on record as
favoring the second plan. 1t is be-
lieved that the proposition will be
handled by local capital and the Hotel
Oregon will be transformed into an
up-to-date hotel with all modern i'm
provements.

Why Do They Insist
On Being Killed

The following letter sent to the
Spokane Review by the wife of a
railroad engineer calls vividly to our
mind the grewsome headlines one
sees in the paper every day of people
killed on railroad crossings and
right of way:
81 would like to speak few words
on safety first to women and mothers
in particular. / wish it were in my
power to be able to make all children
realize the danger there is of walk
ing on or crossing railroad tracks
when there is train coming. AS
the wife of an engineer, have ways
of knowing this better than wives of
men in other lines of work. 1t is
impossible to stop a heavy passenger
or freight train in time to save you
if you are on a track a few feet in
front of moving train. On down
grade or slippery rails it is more dan
gerous than on a level or dry track.
feel sure the public does not real
ize the horror an engineer feels when
he can not stop his train in time to
avoid running over some one, espec-
tally child. Try to think how you
would feel in his place. 1t is much
worse than sickness. The railroad
companies are doing their best to
protect you, as you would know
could you see the orders they give
their men if there is any danger
ahead, to lose all time necessary to
insure safety, and the railroads like
to be on time. The men try their
best to safeguard you, but the safest
way for us all is to stay off the
tracks whenever possible. Mrs. E.
B. Sharp, Spokane.
Why is it that people will not stop
and look before crossing a railroad
track?
Why is it that accident after ac-
cident occurs on crossings where

FEEBLE-MINDED CRIMINALS.

An Illuminating view OF one cause
of crime was given the other day at
the Massachusetts state prison. OF
the first 100 prisoners examined as
TO mental condition, 2S were classed
as feeble-minded.
The routine machinery for produc-
ing good citizenship is Intellectual
with so many mental detectives loose.
The best method of schools can't stop
such a boy from drifting weakly into
vice.
One OF the best investments for a
state is a sufficient number of insti-
tutions for care of weak-minded per-
sons. Too many of this class are
loose without supervision or control.
They have children and perpetuate
strains of weak and vicious blood.
If they are kept under care in a
good public home they can be given
tasks suited to their needs, in which
their time and thought will be well
occupied. Under skillful training
many of them may acquire trades,
with which they may become self-sup-
porting. But left to themselves, they
become burdens on their families and
hand down descendants that are a
burden on the state.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1915-10-28

there is a clear view of the track in
both directions?
Why is it that parents will allow
their children to play on the railroad
right of way and consider them
selves abused if the company tries
to keep them off?
1t is impossible to answer the
above questions except to say that
the average person is simply careless
and pays no attention to warnings.
Figures Just published by officials
of the Southern Pacific Company
show that some 214,O0O people have
been killed on the railroads of the
United States in the last % years and
that of this number 113,4S0, or over
SO per cent, were trespassers.
The railroads are using every
means possible to obviate these acci-
dents, but with the ever increasing
traffic on the roads and crossings it
has become imperative that the pub
lie generally be more careful.
It's a strange thing to have to urge
a person to protect themselves from
being killed by their own foolish acts,
but that is exactly what has to be
done.
Look out for the crossings and
keep off the private right of way
and bridges of railroads.

MINISTER'S AND MONEY.

Should clergymen engage in bust
ness ventures? Is it Legitimate for
him to put savings into speculative
investments? Questions like these
are being much discussed, following
the confession of Rev. DR.. Newell
Dwight Hills of Brooklyn, ~ Y, re-
garding his financial misfortunes.
For most ministers this question
never rises. The average clergyman
receives scarcely the pay of skilled
mechanic. lie is compelled to live in
an elect residential district. He must
have a home suited to entertain the
Ladies Aid Society. Formal black
clothes must be possessed, and his
wife must look like a lady.
Perhaps imprudently, he has raised
a family. He may rashly think of ed
ucating them. After all such bills
are paid, the field of business ven-
lures looks as distant as Mars. How
long since you have seen minister
reading the stock market reports?
In towns of some wealth, however,
there is a minority of ministers who
are somewhat more fortunate in a
money way. They may accumulate
some small savings. What can and
should they do with them?
The world never casts out the bus
iness man for taking flyer" Usu-
ally it is poor judgment, but con-
trary to no received moral code. But
somehow would not one feel just a
bit disillusioned, were he to hear his
pastor earnestly discussing the ques-
tion whether Steel Common were not
selling too low, or if good money
could not be made in buying certain
real estate? Is this a false or true
instinct?
This at least can be said It takes
a long pull at the speculative game
TO know its tricks and its manners
All clergymen and teachers should
recognize the limitations of the wool
ly lamb. He can never be bull or a
bear.
The world expects a clergyman to
stand for spiritual feeling. A man
must stand a little apart to see
through the mists of life. The strug.
gle for dollars is too absorbing. II
grips the mind and obscures the
deeper insights. 1t may not be wrong
but it does not help a clergyman to
see the farther horizons. Without
that gift, his work misses its full mis-.
sion.

"Our ability to serve all who could

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

Hood River Glacier: Down at
Ashland the people are calling their
progressive town "The Carlsbad of
America" and they are making it
stick. Nature has been prodigal in
giving our cousins of southern Ore
gon much of scenery and charming
environments, and they are making
the most OF these blessings. The pro-
gressiye citizens of Ashland are con-
centrating their efforts of publicity
in a campaign to tell the story of the
wonderful lithia springs of that COM
muinty. They seem to be succeeding,
and we wish them the greatest sue
cess.
Why shouldn't this town with its
healing waters become better known
in the next decade than the original
Carlsbad? The "See America First"
idea is taking, and our sister city is
going to realize from the fever it will
bring just as we here in the Hood
River valley. And if people come to
Hood River there will be no need for
them ever to leave for cures of Ash
lands lithia water.
