STRANGERS WELCOME At the
r. q. AS.

Realizing that great many OF
the young men coming to the
large cities, drift into roominy
quarters not conducive to the best
moral development, the Y. M. C.
A. maintains a bureau for the
purpose Of giving information re
garding rooms situated amid
home like surroundings, at rea-
sonable rates, where the influence
is of the best.
The Association is exceedingly
anxious to have the young men
of the Northwest coming to Min
neapolis, know that we are at
their service; therefore to be sure
to see the !''Y'' first. No charges
are made for services rendered.
After a ykoung man becomes
comfortably and happily located
it is very necessary that he find
the proper class of young men
with whom to associate. AS an in
stitution the Y, M. C. A. takes a
great deal of pride in the young
men Jun, its membership. THE
stranger who wishes to get in
touch with men of high ambitions
and noble aspirations is always
heartily welcomed by the Y. NJ. C.
A. boys.
TO prevent any complications
it is we'll for the young man COM
ing to the cities to know just what
conditions to expect, and just
what funds he will need.
Hundreds of skilled and un-
skilled laborers flock to the cities
flooding the market, and limiting
the demand for labor. This makes
it very difficult for strangers to
secure employment in the large
cities. 1t is therefore, advisable ia
be reasonably certain of posi-
ton before going to the city OF
else to be supplied with sufficient
funds to- tide over the interval
which may be long or short before
securing employment.
Forty dollars month is about
the minimum amount necessary
for expenses, as desirable rooms
cost from ten to twelve dollars a
month and board from four to sin
dollars week, and other expen-
SEES will easily take the balance.
We are glad to communicate
with young men who intend com
ing to the city. TO those who dt
come. we extend very hearty
welcome and invitation to come
Immediately to the Y. M. C. A.
building, which is located on
Tenth Street between Nicolet and
Hennepin= Avenues.

during this rapid fight the shell can
be made to explode with marvellous
precision and deadly effectiveness,
driving it's bullets in cone shaped
shower down on the heads Of the
enemy.
A remarkable fact regarding these
shells is that the velocity Of the bull

For more than two centuries there
have always been some big, broad
sterned Dutch boats lying in the
Thames river. with baggy trousered
Dutchmen smoking on board, quite
calmly. 1t is the Renaissance of q
Dutch conquest. Those boats have
moored there, with their eels for Lon.

DEATH TESTS USED FOR
SOLDIERS ON THE FIELD.
italian Surgeons Use Ether Examining
Their Fallen countrymen.

Three methods used in the rear Of
the fighting lines by army surgeons to
determine I'M doubtful cases whether a
soldier who has fallen is alive or dead
are described in La Clinica Medica tall
II and discussed In the current num-
Der Of the Medical Record.
The first Of these Is to drop ether
into the conjunctival a Of one eye.
If this is followed by a reddening of
the conjunctiva it affords proof that
the circulation Is intact and that life
is still present. The other eye is used
as a control.
"The second test" the Medical Rec
ord says, 'has been recently proposed
by 1card. It consists in the subcutane-
u injection Of flu0rescin, which, If
the individual Is still living, is soon
followed by a yellowish coloring Of the
skin and mucusa.
'The conjunctiva and the mucous
membrane Of the mouth, and particu-
larry the frenum Of the tongue, show
this coloration most distinctly. The
test consists in the injection of eight
to ten cubic centimeters of a solution
Of twenty grams of 1uorescin and thir-
ty grams Of sodium carbonate in 100
grams of distilled water. A negative
result is obtained in cases Of marked
slowing or enfeeblement of the circu-
lation, as during the agonal condition.
''The third test has recently been pro-
posed by Halluin. 1t consists in the
direct exploration Of the heart by
means of a stilette. This IS introduced
through a small incision in II Of the
intercostal spaces. Any movement Of
the heart Is communicated to the sti-
lette. In some cases Of suspended ami
nation it is possible to arouse cardiac
activity by4means Of gentle movements
Of the stilette, combined with artificial
respiration"

DRESS YOUR CHARACTER.
How to Look Becoming Rather Than
Ultra.

How to Look Becoming Rather Than
Ultra: .
Dress your character, not your fig
ure, is the advice of a famous actress,
and rather surprising this advice seems
at first hearing. But think it over well
ard the excellence Of the idea will 2p-
peal to you. Every woman has q Ger.
tain individuality Of her own-a tenn
permanent, If you will-that makes her
Il little or perhaps a good deal different
from all other women. 1t is the indi-
viduality, this temperament, that wom-
en- should dress up to, according to the
actress, in order to make the PERSONAL
ity more marked and convincing.
But an instructive carrying out OF
this advice with no heed to the prompt
ings of reason may result in disaster.
For example, there is always the wom-
an who weighs 200 pounds or there
abouts, but whose personality Is dis
tinctly kittenish. Is she to dress her
character or her figure? There is also
the very little woman who ought to
belong to the cuddly, appealing class,
who yearns to be impressive and state
ly. If she insists upon wearing the
garments of the grenadier woman she
may spoil her chances Of being fasci-
natingly charming.
But between these two extremes
there is a very happy medium, and in
this idea of. dressing up to ones type
there is also a very valuable sugges-
ton. The Importance OF rejecting per-
sonal individuality in costume is APP
preciated by many women who design
their own clothes and hand the designs
to tailor, dressmaker and milliner to
reproduce in practical guise. The &C.
tress in her part is always dressed in
conformity with the character she -
p0rtraying, but her costumes-and theirs
is an important point-are made to suit
her figure lines while expressing a spe-
cial sort of personality. Therefore If
the delightful hounces Of the 1880. pc.
riod suit your type exactly, but are a
bit trying to your too solid figure, adopt
the flounces, but see to it that they are
so cut and SO arranged that the lines
IF the silhouette are right.

Rural Malls Improved.

Statistics were made public by the
p~ostofice department tending to show
that rapid progress is being made in
meeting the demands for better rural
mail service. The figures show. that in
March, 1918, $500 petitions for new
rural service were pending. Since then
all these petitions, with 5000 others,
have been disposed Of.

100000 Person. Destitute.

"Nor is the necessity for this valued
support at all over. The problem be-
comes more difficult every day, for the
number of destitute has increased from
100000 last October to 2,75O.OO in
June and now grows at the rate Of
100000 a month. And our resources,
large as they are, cannot keep pace
with the need if the charitable public
loses interest in u work. Moreover,
the continued support Of America is
necessary to provide the commission
with the moral prestige as an Ameri-
can institution which it now possesses
in the sight Of the warning powers,
and the maintenance of this prestige
can only be secured by the continued
sentimental and practical backing of
the American people,"
The report includes detailed state
ments Of the commissions work, such
as complete accounts of the disposition
Of 1875 cargoes Of foodstuffs and cloth
ing, and other statistical data, as we'll
as a general survey OF the situation in
Belgium. It is pointed out that the or
ganization as 1t stands now is the re-
suit Of constant upbuilding, a feature
Of which has been the organization Of
local relief committees in practically
every commune, with a federal system
Of district and provincial committees
with the Comite National at the apex.
The relation Of this structure to the
commission is one Of joint endeavor,
and the membership of Americans en-.
tirely interlocks the organization.
Immense Relief Operations.
The relief operations are divided into
three classes, one to provision the en-.
tire population, another to conduct
financial relief and exchange operations
and a third to care for the destitute.
"The provisioning department." says
the report, lis charged with the duty
Of revictualipg the whole 100000
people with necessary imports, and up
to June 30 had either delivered or had
in stock over 100000 tons of foodstuffs
for the Belgian section to the gross
value of over $45. 100000 The whole
Of these foodstuffs are resold to the
population through a broad system Of
reticulation, and the profit earned on
these operations is devoted to the sup.
port of the destitute. Such profits have
been made possible by the volunteer
executive. commercial and transporta-
ton services and the amount Of these
~profits-about $4,S00.00O to date--is the
measure Of the value Of such voluntary
service"

Over 50 Per Cent Of Money Expended
In 6%snevoIenes Is Being Furnished by
f1eIgians Abroad-Larse Amount Also
Is Being Supplied by Relsians In
Belgium.
The first complete report of the COM
mission for relief of Belgium, covering
the first eight months of its existence,
reveals that in income and expenditure
the organization forms the greatest re-
lief movement Of history. The commits
sion has collected and discussed $780,
100000, $15,OOO,OOO Of which has been
contributed in the form Of money or
gift food by the people Of the United
States and the British empire and Bel
GUM itself. The bulk Of the income
has come from other than purely phil
anthropic sources, but the raising of
this enormous sum has been exclusive
ly the work Of the commission, which,
by financial arrangements with Belgian
individuals and institutions, exchange
Of currency with Belgium and a sys-
ton Of providing for solvent Belgian
inhabitants, has maintained the entire
population Of q nation for almost a
year.
A remarkable feature of the report
which has hitherto received but little
notice is the effort being made by the
Belgians to help themselves. Over so
per cent Of the money expended by
the commission in benevolence is being
furnished by Belgians abroad, and a
large amount also is being supplied by
Belgians in Belgium.
In discussing the report Herbert G.
Hoover, chairman Of the commission,
said: ut may cause mor surprise
among Americans, who believe that
the United States is provisioning the
Belgian and French people in the track
of war, that only something over &c.
100000 in food, clothes and money
has come from the United States.
However; the American public should
realize that the commission in it's or.
ganization, working personnel and po-
litical aspects is distinctly American.
The American charitable support, SO
early and promptly given, came at the
very inception Of the movement, when
such backing was vital to the success
Of the organization in giving it time
to build. This support gave the COM
mission its foundation, from which it
acquired the moral prestige that ena-
bled it to secure vitality necessary con-
cessions from the various belligerent

ROAD MEETING

Wednesday evening a large meeting
was held in this place which was attend
ed by County Commissioners Nixon, Mil
Ter and Green, County Engineer Gardiner
also being present. The object of the
meeting was for the purpose of consider
ing and discussing road improvements.
while nothing definite could be settled,
yet the matter of road work was con-
sidered at length. The unanimous view
entertained was that from the fact that
the north end of the valley has never re-
ceived any public assistance for road
work, every effort should be made to Sc
cure an adequate sum to be applied on
the road on the west side of the Okano-
gan river. 1t must be said to their credit
that the commissioners showed "A dis
position to be perfectly fair and just in
this matter of road work. After going
over the ground they realize that this
part of the county, paying the heaviest
taxes, has been neglected and overlook
ed in the distribution of public funds, and
they voluntarily expressed themselves
warmly in favor of applying as large an
amount as can be obtained on the valley

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING

Last Friday the Commercial Club held
its regular monthly meeting, and it was
one of the most interesting sessions SO
far held by the organization, and thanks
to the activity of the president covered
a number of subjects of Importance. a
committee was appointed to secure data
as to the probable quantity of seed po-
tatoes that would be required for this
vicinity, the best adapted to this locality,
and such other Information on the sub
ject as would be beneficial. The COM
mttee is to report at the special meeting
next Thursday evening, and all the farm
ers in the vicinity are invited to be pres
ent at that meeting, and all the meet
ings for that matter The miserable
street lighting system was taken up, and
an effort will. be made in conjunction
with the town council to devise some
means for improvement. A ringing reso-
luton was adopted extending the thanks
and congratulations of the Commercial
Club to the High School Athletic As
scciation for the great record made during
the school year. n long discussion of
the proposed sewer system occupied much
of the evening. Engineer Wieland, of
Wenatchee who was present, was en-
gagged to present drawings and an esti-
mate of the cost for a trunk sewer with
septic tanks at the meeting next Thurs
day evening. Such a sentiment of unity
and disposition to pull together for
common ends has never been displayed
in any organization in the town, and if
the good work continues it is bound to
accomplish much for Oroville and
vicinity.
