WHATCAN YOU Do FOR CATARUH?
Ask Yourself the question How often has the doctor failed
have Ontments saves vapOurs? What you should do.

The easy, common-sense method
that costs so little-that is so quickly
and vigorously effective-is often the
last resort of many Catarrh sufferers.
Why, 1t is hard to say. One Of the
specialists OF the Swift Specific Com
pany in Atlanta physician Of stand
ing and national reputation because Of
his knowledge of blood disorders,
made the assertion that If the major
ity Of Catarrh sufferers would buy
and faithfully take S. S. S. they could
effectually get rid of Catarrh.
S. s. S. goes straight to the seat Of
trouble, the blood. 1t spreads its in
fluence over every organ in the body,
comes through the veins and arteries,
enables the mucous surfaces to ex-
change acids and irritating substances
for red blood corpuscles that effec-
tually cleanse the system and thus put
an end to all Catarrhal poison. S. S.

accumulations, enables only pure,

THE SAFFRON STREAK

mfeature of every war is the
~ fact that many who aid
in bringing on the trouble
promptly beat it to the rear
when the fighting begins.
For many months the Port
land Oregonian along with
other tory newspapers filled
the air with cries for drastic
action in Mexico. Because
President Wilson sought to
solve the problem without GO
ing to war he was ridiculed and
cartooned numerically. The
tories wanted armed interven-
ton and they wanted it at once.
The continuous pleading of
that element of the American
press together with biased or
distorted news reports as to
the Mexican situation have
contributed greatly to the war
that is now upon us. They
have caused Mexicans to mis-
understand the United States
and to believe our government
cowardly because our jingo-
tory press was branding it as
such. This is to a great extent
a press-made war because with
cooperation from the press we
could have won out by peace
full means.
But now that their . long
sought war is at our gates and
our boys are speeding to the
border where do we find the
lingo press? The answer is in
a cartoon by the Oregonian
today. 1t is a libelous, unfair
and cowardly cartoon because
it blames the war on Woodrow
the one man who has
done everything under the sun.
to avert break.
The Oregonian may consider
it crafty to get from under
now that strife is at hand and
to join with others of the tory
tribe in an effort to put the
bloodshed on an innocent man.
But crafty though it may be it
Is also plain yellow.

shouting for preparedness,
ready to do their part?
There are quite a few mar
.ried men in the guard. In the
state service they would re-
ceive $3.50 per day besides
clothing, food and shelter. In
the federal service they re-
ceive no state pay and get but
SIS per month as do the regu-
lars.
In other words the married
enlisted man not only offers up
his life for his country but
leaves his family without a
wage Garner. 1t may be argu-
ed he should not go and that
is probably true. But the
guardsman has been trained
for service and it is a nuisance
to have him drop out when he
is needed. Furthermore he
dislikes to quit and be consid-
cred as "cOld footed" There
fore he generally sticks with
his company.
There is a problem growing
cut of the needs of the mar
ried churchman's family.
Frankly speaking that family
is entitled to state pay, not to
petty larceny charity that is
likely to overfeed them for
two days and then starve them
for six months.
If a militiaman is worth
$3.50 per day to the state
while in a summer manuover
camp is he not worth that much
while actually risking his life
for his country?
Oregon has a just duty to
perform by the guardsmen who
are now headed toward the
border. But it wont meet that
duty. A proposal to pay $1.50
per day to married men in the
Oregon regiments would be
received with heavy frowns by
those who say taxes are too
high.
A feature of war is that we
not only expect our soldiers to
be heroes at the front but we
also seem to think their fami-
lies can live on glory.

BAD TEETH AND HEART
DISEASE

IA ROF, c. A. E. WINSLOW
%H of the chair Of public
U health at Yale declares
that one-fifth of the fatal cases
Of heart trouble are caused by
diseased teeth. DR.. Charles
H. Mayo has pointed out the
close connection between heart
disease in children and affect
ed tonsils.
The instinct for the most
scrupulous sanitation in all mat
ters affecting the mouth, ac-
cordingly, has a sound basis in
the approval of science. Theo-
ries drawn from recent medi-
cal discoveries invest dentistry
with new Importance and dig
nifty. Progress in the two pro-
fessions is along lines that
converge each other.
If pride in personal apear-
ance is not a sufficient incen-
tive to paintaking care of teeth
knowledge of the part played
by good teeth in bodily nour-
ishment should induce such
care. Those indifferent to these
promptings should be moved
by the danger of neglected
teeth to the vital organs.
Dental inspection of school
children is so far from being a
mere fad as to be justified by
the establishment of adequate
health standards and the pre-

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S.-The
decision of the interstate commerce
commission in Washington abolish
ing low terminal rates because of
competition. was received with amaze
ment by shippers here It was free
ly declared that the ruling would
prove a blow to Pacific coast busi-
ness
Seth Mann, who represented the
San Francisco chamber of commerce
in the original hearings before the
commission in, Washington, declared
the decision is the most radical in
years, and it was asserted that it will
wholly overturn overland freight
rate practices.
''The commission does not reverse
its policy that water terminals are
entitled to a lower rail rate than in
termediate points" Mann said. "but
1t evidently takes the ground that
these terminals are entitled to less
advantage when their water carriers
are eliminated"
The decision puts Pacific coast mer-
| chants at a disadvantage as against
eastern competitors. according to
Mann. The increased rates, as an
nounced by the commission. he said,
will also have a direct effect on the
business of merchants who hold term
contracts for eastern goods. Mann

Desire Our Farm
Demonstration

C. j. Belkin writes US from Mine
La Motto that our County Farm
Agent, Mr.. France, attended a Farm
ers' club meeting at Village Creek in
Madison county couple of weeks ago
and gave them a good talk; also that
the club had voted to do all in its
power to get farm agent for Madi-
son County. He said he understood
that there were many in this county
who did not want farm agent, and;
if it were true, they would like to ar
range to have Mr.. France come to
that county.
There may be few old-time farm
ers, here and there, in st. Francois
county, who do not look with favor
upon new and advanced methods of
farming and regard the farm agent
as useless appendage, but they are
few. st. Francois county has had
a farm agent now for two or three
years, and the large majority of our
farmers we are told are delighted
with his work. No, we don't think
they would do without one or that
they would willingly submit TO Mr.
France being transferred to Madison
county. He is doing good work, and
our progressive farmers appreciate
it. But if our neighboring county
farmers want farm agent, if they
will get together and get busy they
won't have much trouble, probably,
in securing one.

A Popular Car

The Chevrolet Automobile is rap
idly coming into deserved popularity
in this community, until the demand
for it has probably exceeded that of
the Ford. And there is very appar-
ent reason for such popularity. While
the Chevrolet is cheap in price-al-
most as cheap as the Ford-the price
appears to be the only "cheap" thing
about it. In appearance, it has all
the high-class attributes of the higher
priced cars, in material, workmanship
and finish. 1t has already stood the
test of expert examination and hard
usage, and its ability to stand hard
usage, as we'll as the simplicity of
its construction, are the principal
points of its surprising popularity in
this community.
Lang Bros. Manufacturing & Mer-
camille Co. are the local agents for
the Chevrolet, and their greatest diff
ficulty seems to be to keep a supply
ON hand. They have already receiv-
ed ten car loads of Chevrolets this
season, and within the past ten days
they have sold machines to the fol-

around the Public Square and to the

Here large audience was gather

seats of the theatre and standing in
the aisles. The old veterans of Picket
Post marched on to the stage, and
there the memorial rites Of their or
