Right Food
For Children
Wise Parents Now Raise Them
On Whole Wheat

What the growing child needs is
food that makes muscle, that is
wholesome and easily digested.
Physicians unanimously agree that
whole wheat is the proper food for
children. 1t is strengthening and
sustaining, makes rich, red blood and
contains in a given quantity more nu-
tritious value than any other staple
food known.
One of the best known whole wheat
foods that can be obtained at all
modern grocers is called FORCE" 1"
There is a crispness and a flavor
about FORCE" that appeals alike to
children and grown-ups. Every one
enjoys the savory zest of FORCE"
In FORCE" you get the full food
value OF whole wheat in light and
easily digested form. Best for all
stomachs,
Go to your grocer today and ask
him for a copy of the FORCE" fold
er. This folder contains number of
valuable recipes for using FORCE"

Big Season
On The Rogue

The Marshfield Record says: "The
gasoline steamer Gjoa, Captain Il.
Tenfjord, arrived recently from the
Rogue river, bringing $40 cases OF
salmon from the Seaborg cannery.
He stated there was fog last week
between here and Rogue river which
made his voyage to Gold Beach much
longer than common. Neither can
merry at the Rogue river was able to
handle the salmon the fishermen
caught last week and many fish were
wasted, he said. The pack has been
all that either cannery could wish.
For the last few days the Seaborg
firm was obliged to limit the fisher
men to 25 fish per boat, as they were
unable to can the fish before they
might spoil"

Careful Handling.
Your true diplomatist is nothing II

shown by an amusing episode that oc-
CURED when the peace Of Karlowitz
was negotiated IN 1900.
The We, between Austria and Tur'
kew which led to the siege Of Vienna
Dy the Turks, had just been brought
to an end by the battle Of Zenta, In
which Austria was victorious. Prince
Eugene at once gathered the diplomats
at Karlowitz, in Croatia, to dictate the
terms Of peace, but for weeks the con-
gress made no progress because the
representatives could not agree as to
their proper positions In the council
hall. That the representative Of EN-
peror Leopold should have the seat of
honor was taken for granted, but the
other parties to the cOngress-the
Turks, Russians, English, Dutch, Poles,
Venetians-all clamored for the next
highest seat
Finally the situation became so crit
ical that 1t was feared that the peace
would never be negotiated. So drastic
measures had to be taken. AS the dip.
lomats could not be coerced, Eugene
Immediately employed a number of
workmen and had them build a new
council chamber. 1t was q round build,

each representative. In the middle
was a circular table surrounded by
chairs all the same size and finish
The diplomats now came Willingly to
their private entrances, and at the
sound Of a trumpet they entered, each
standing beside his appointed seat, At
a given sign they all sat down, and
every ones pride was satisfied.

No Booze by
Parcels Post

There seems to be wrong impress
sion in certain parts of the state that
after January /, 1916, intoxicating
liquors can be shipped in by parcels
post. A Willamette valley postmas-
ter has been quoted on the question
as follows:
Everyone should be made to
understand that Uncle Sam does not
allow of liquor ever entering the
mails in any shape, as for the public
to think otherwise will cause confu-
sion and expense for nothing. While
on this subject it might also be well
to mention that misleading items
have also frequently been published
by the Portland papers as to ship
ments made by parcels post-such
as stoves, furniture, live animals, etc,
Stoves and furniture would be barred
by their size, excluding S4 inches Of
combined girth, and nothing alive ex-
cept queen bee properly packed can
be mailed. The frequent stories of
this or that being sent by mail, not
conforming to regulations of weight
and measurement, cause erroneous
impressions to go out to possible
shippers, and this is not for the good
Of the service" b"
