PROCRASTINATING HUMANITY

1t is possible that people in other states negi-
gent and prone to put off until the last minute the
things they know they must do by certain time, as they
in Oregon but if So they certainly be worse.
The rush at the close of the time for doing Christmas
shopping illustrates this trait in Oregon folks and the
sudden awang to the fact that Friday the last day
alcohol of any kind could be purchased in Oregon sent
hundreds skuryng to the saloons to lay in sort of fare
well supply.
This, to- anyone knowing the feelings of the
steady drinker seems almost unbelievable, and we might
say borders on the criminal or would had they been
few minutes too late
Another example of this characteristic is the delay of
the automobsts to apply for their licenses and machine
numbers Notices sent them by the secretary of
state and every newspaper in the state gave warning that
the licenses must be procured before the first of the year.
Besides every autois knew this fact yet far than
half of them failed to apply for their licenses until day
or two before New Years. and many not until after that
date
They all want their licenses at and wonder why
the secretary does not send them back by the first mail
AS matter of fact the secretary has put extra clerks
and is rushing out the licenses fast hey can be made
out and mailed but with fifteen thousand to be sent out
it can be it could not be done in day. Secretary

THE COST OF SICKNESS

The cost of sickness is terror to all persons of mode
ate incomes When the income is barely sufficient to
maintain the family in health the sickness of member
means debt and debt which there often small prospect
of paying without great self denial
To large number of families who are in such financial
condition the increase in the cost of medicines from two
to ten times because of the in Europe brings added
burden.
With the high cost of medicines of doctors services
and of nursing sickness is thing which the average
family cannot afford.
Some cheer will be brought to such by the report that
the high cost of drugs and the difficulty of obtaining
have driven the surgeons of European armies back
to grandmothers odfashoned remedies with the sur
prsng discovery to medical men that many OF them are
more effective than modern drugs.
Sugar is again found to be excellent for infected
wounds and salt water as wash for wounds is superior
to most medcaed waters Garlic and garlic juice is al
most specific for various forms of inflammation, and
its cousin the despised onion is fine for all bronchial
and pulmonary troubles.
The experience of the ages is found to be of more
value than modern theories, in medical treatment as in
many other things.

RAILROAD coMPANY's GOOD WORK

The O. W. R. & N. railroad company management be-

to do something for the country that supplies its freight
besides working to maintain rules at all the traffic will

creating that freight Recently private capital demon
straed that there artesan water in Morrow county
we'll drilled the ranch of R. B. Rice, and strong

The cost Of sinking wells makes it prohibtive to most
ranch owners especially with the results doubtful To
assist in discovering the extent of this artesian section
the 0. W. R. & N will sink several wells at widely separ
aed points, and hopes thus to show that the greater part
of eastern Oregon is underlaid with artesan water
This demonstrated, would prove of immense benefit
to that great country for in many places water must
be hauled considerable distances to furnish the supply for
household and stock purposes.
The railroad Company spending its money in good
cause and by helping the rancher is also helping itself
Recently strong flowing wells have been found near
Prineve in Crook county, which adds to the belief that
the whole finland Empire" may yet have flowing wells
1t would be peculiarly appropriate to have these deve
oped, as the whole state goes on the water wagon.

URIC ACID IN MEAT
BRINGS RHEUMATISM
Says a Little Salts In Water
May Save You From
Dread Attack

rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a wel-known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty Of good water.
Rheumatism is direct result of eat
ing too much meat and other rich foods
that produce uric acid which is absorb
ed into the blood 1t is the function of
the kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine; the
pores of tine skin are also means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly cold weather the skin
pores are closed thus forcing the kid
neys to do Doubt work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
the uric acid which keeps accumulating
and circulating THROUGH the system,
eventually settlin0 in the joints and
muscles causing stiffness, soreness and
pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for n
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to nor,
NAL action, thus ridding the blood of
these impurities
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism Here you have a pleasant
effervescent lithia.water drink which

ficial to your kidneys as well,

ucts review of these statements confirms Secretary
Lanes comment of last July to the effect that the mining
revival is in full swing In the Western States alone the
metal production shows an increase value of than
$13OO00000 over the corresponding figures for 1914 and
the years increase in output for the principal metals
measured in value is than $2500000OO. Moreover
is not unreasonable to expect that when the full returns
for all mineral products compiled they will show that
1915 was the countys most productive year in the min

Wheat Held For
Germans Set Fire

Chicago, Jan. 3.-Present wheat
prices are the highest for January in
30 years, with the exception of a year
ago, compared with which they are
& 3-4 cents lower for December, SIS
cents for May and a cent on July.
Foreigners were heavy sellers of
May wheat here and in the east last
week The local holding of 100000
bushels of interests close to the Ger
man government was released. 1t was
bought last summer for July delivery,
but as the cash grain was not wanted,
a transfer was made to September.
Later it was turned over into Deem
Der and about month ago into May.
The wheat is said to have cost higher
than the present level.
Offerings Readily Absorbed.
Selling of it was q factor in the
market last week. knowledge of its
being unloaded was evidently one of
the reasons for number of large
parcels and for the taking of profits
by board exporters on the bulge to
$l.29 for May last Monday, and again
ON the later rally.
A surprising feature of the market
was the readiness with which offer
ings were absorbed on all breaks. From
the top there was a drop of s 1-2 cents
on December and 6 Is cents on May
and 5 Ia cents on July. Almost com.
plete recovery was made on the dis
tant futures, only to be lost on Fri
day.
More wheat was held by outside
speculative interests than at any time
within year. Such interests believe
prices ultimately will 60 higher than
last year and that the European war
demand will absorb all the wheat
America has to spare, regardless of
price.
