LIVES SAVED BY TELEPHONE.
One Man Drank Poison, and Another
Severed Four Arteries.

Within the last several days two lives
have been saved over the telephone.
Rev. !. w. Lentz, OF Orders, Breth-
rem minister, took poison by mistake Tor
his medicine. No physician being here,
his family got instruction from a distant
physician. AntidoteS were administered
and his lite was saved.
William Mlonich, in Pendleton county
tried to cut bullet from the breach OF a
gun. The knife slipped and severed four
arteries in his wrist. He was in danger
OF bleeding TO death. DR.. Meyers, al
Oak Flat, six miles away, gave inStruc-
tions over the phone. Another life was
saved. Mr.. Mionich is 76 years old.
So daily are valuable lives preserved
and saved by the use of the Jefferson
County Telephone.

Big Naval Guns.

Modern naval engagements demonstrate
that the gunners sometimes die after the
battle, even when they have not been
wounded or injured in any way. Death
is caused by disturbance ofthe circulation
due TO the strain placed upon the nervous
system by the excitement and the ire
mendous vibrations of modern guns.
Curiously enough, this collapse is quite
as likely to affect the most robust men,
bers of the gun crew as the ones with
poorer physiques and bears no relation
to the individuals courage. 1t is due to
a lack OF sufficient reserve power OF the
heart, which is dependent upon the quail
ity OF the heart muscles, and there is no
known means OF estimating this inherent
quality exactly.
II is possible, of course, TO determine
the force and strength OF the heart in an
individual, but only some test, such as
that OF actual battle, will determine the
quality of the heart muscles.
Thus theveteran gunner who haSproved
his heart quality in actual battle has be-
come peculiarly valuable factor in mod
ern naval warfare.

Care of the Feet.

Tight shoes are not the only cause OF
loot troubles Anyone whose duties re-
auire continued standing, day after day,
is likely 10 suffer from tender and aching
feet
There are some simple home remedies
and precautions that if taken will at least
lessen the suffering, and frequently will
prevent or cure the distressing tenderness.
The simplest and yet the most soothing
and helpful remedy is the cold foot spray
night and morning. II is recommended
by distinguished physician who is a
specialist in matters connected with the
feet.
In modern bathroom it is possible to
take the cold foot spray simply by step
ping into the bathtub and standing for
moment with the feet under the cold
water faucet. Turn on the full pressure
OF the water, for il is the force OF the fall
ing water as much as its GOODNESS that
gives the tonic effect.
There is really less shock in using the
cold spray than in stepping into a foot
bath of cold water. If you wish, you can
attach spray with tube to the double
faucet OF the bathtub, and use the tepid
water first and colder water afterward;
but the more vigorous treatment from the
untempered cold-water faucet is better
for the normally healthy person.
Dry the feet vigorously and thoroughly
with Turkish towel. not forgetting the
spaces between the toes. Then rub the
feet with alcohol that contains five per
cent o. borc acid. It's cooling and slim
ulating. Powdering the feet after bath
is also refreshing.
The entire process should not take
more than two minutes in the morning
and two at night, and will be found to be
wonderfully stimulating TO the whole sys-
tenn.

The Oregon House.

One of the most interesting buildings al
the San Francisco exposition is that
erected by the State of Oregon. 1t COM
mands admiration for IFS strength, SIM
plicity, and beauty. The wide porticoes
that surround the building are supported
by foty-eight columns that are simply
mammoth trunks of the Douglas fir-from
the forests of Oregon. They are from
four and one half TO eight feet in diameter.
The bark has been left on, and it pro-
duces a very attractive effect, which is
carried out BY the rough-surfaced, brown
stained boards of which the building is
constructed.
These forty-eight majestic columns
rep resented the forty eight States OF The
Union, and symbolic, moreover, the
sturdy citizenship of Oregon, whose peo-
pie come from all sections OF the United
States.
Each of these columns contains enough
lumber to build a good-sized dwelling
house; they weigh ftom forty thousand
to fifty thousand pounds.
The flagpole for the building is the
tallest in the world-25l teet high. 1t
was hewn from tree 347 ieet high. and
weighs 90. 600 pounds. There are more
than thirty thousand feet OF lumber
enough to frame and board in live eight
room houses-iu this giant flagpole. II
is more than three hundred years old, and
if cost over five thousand dollars TO trans
port il and set il in place.
Tie flag thatflies from the pole is thirty
six by forty-nine feet.

He had some OF his old favoriteS from the
horse barns and from the herd brought up
close to the basket, and stroked their
heads for a minute. He even lovingly
patted the old dog which had done SER
vice about the farm for years. The menu
bers of the party wept as he sadly gave

ion on the political outlook.

IT am frank to confess that the
sentiment is unanimous among us
today that If there had been a presi-
Dental election this year our can
didate would have won without diff
ficulty.
1.-THE outlook for Republican sue
cess was never better. It is agreed
that there can be no return to pros
perity until a Republican president
is elected. Our national affairs are
now in hopeless muddle. The ad-
ministration has a deficit Of $780,
600, 900, and this viii be increased

GARRISON NUMBERED $4,000

Petrograd, via London, March 20.
The Przemysl garrison, which
capitulated to the Russian army to-
day, surrendered without a fight.
The hosting of the white flag over
this fortress, which was said to be
on the point of surrender on a num-
Der of occasions, caused little sur
prize, as it was generally known
that it was in terribly weakened
condition, without food or ammuni-
ton, and it's endurance was only a
question of days.
War office advices report that
nine Austrian generals were taken,
more than 800 officers and $4,000
men.
The moral effect of the victory on
Russia, it is expected, will be very
great, awakening hopes that this
will be the turning point in the
Galician and Carpathian campaign.
