RIDDY's SUNSHINE CLUB.

Sisters of the Corner: I think the letters are improving. It causes some amusement to guess who is wno?" Biddys letter about Sunshine Club is O. K. I have; not seen any answers to this letter, that won the first prize of the sixth anniversary. Why not some of the Sisters write what they think of it. I for one would like to join and help good cause on. I hear Blanche is busy houseclean- ing and bringing up her family of twenty little ones.
 Let us all try to have our letters short as possible, new members are coming to join us and The Corner seems to be growing fast. believe The Courier is the only paper that has not gone up with the high prices. It is a great paper for the money. Three cheers for The Courier and the Social Corner.

oLp-r4ME REMEplEs.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters: herewith enclose some o1d- time recipes which I hope some of the Sisters may find useful.
 For Whoopins courh-strong coffee is said to be an excellent remedy. a doctor certifying he once tried it on a child six years of age, giving a table spoonful and a half sweetened but without milk, three times daily. Gem uine coffee must be used. No rye, pea or bean, such as is sold for ground coffee will answer.
 DiPhtheria in it's early stages may be recognized by two marked symp- toms, the sensation of hard sub stance in the throat and unpleasant smell of breath. If the patient is old enough, give piece of camphor gum size of a marrowfat pea, letting it be retained in the mouth. swallowing slowly; in an hour give another; at end of another hour. third; fourth is not usually required. but if pain and breath not relieved, use two or three times more at intervals of two hours.
 If the child is young, powder the camphor by adding couple drops oi spirits or alcohol to it and mix it with an equal quantity of powdered loa1 sugar and blow 1t through a quill or tube into the throat.
 A Cure for FeIons-A poultice of on. ions applied morning, noon and night win cure a felon. No matter how bad the case. splitting the finger will be unnecessary if this be used. We have 1 seen 1t tried several times and know the remedy is a safe and speedy one Cure for corns-Put the feet two ol three successive nights in soda solu' l ton. Take one to two tablespoons ot soda for a foot tub of hot water, let. ting the afflicted member remain in Il or Is minutes. I found this excellen also for bunions, as it softens them and with a sharp knife carefully uset relief will follow.
 For Croup-One teaspoon pulverizet alum and two tablespoons molasse mixed together given in doses tea vomiting a tea made of whole allspic 1 fed freely cuts the phlegm and quiet the irritation.
 Cure for Dysentery-Tale neS l churned butter before it is washed O salted, clarity over the fire and skir off the milky particles; add one-fourt brandy to preserve it and loaf suga to sweeten; let the patient, if an adul take two tablespoons twice a day. Tn above is a sure cure and sold at grea profit.
 For Scaids and Burns-A most use full remedy is an embrocation of linn water and linseed oil. These combine form a cream like substance which e1 fectually excludes the air and aIlay the inflammation almost instantl, This remedy leaves no hard coat i dry on the sores, but softens them an aids nature to repair the injury.

WHOLESOME FOOD FOR INvALIDs

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I am sending a few ideas and recipes for the sick rooms. The necessary res quisites for an invalid are wholesome ness of food. appropriate kinds for the person served. and prompt and dainty service.
 Do not confer with the invalid as to what he would like to eat, for the va rious surprises will help to tempt his appetite.
 The tray on which the food is serv- ed should be cornered with spotless napkin folded to cover a good sized tray. The smallest. prettiest dishes should be placed on it and every thing in an orderly manner.
 All hot foods should be served hot, and cold foods cold, on well chilled dishes.
 For fever patient, fruit juice in cold water makes a most refreshing drink. Serve in small glasses rather than in large quantities.
 Oat Meal Cruel: Take two-thirds cup of oatmeal, add three pints boil ing water. and a teaspoon salt Cook from, fire and strain. When using for patient, use half cup of grdel with half cup thin cream, two tablespoons boiling water, and sugar to taste. A grating of nutmeg may be added in some cases.
 Other gruels may be prepared in the same manner. using barley. corn meal, rice, or farina.
 Varying time of cooking to suit food cooked barley requires four hours. Chicken Custard: Take a cup and a 1 half of crumbs from center of loaf add to them two tablespoons of finely l chopped chicken breast. Beat yolks o1 | two eggs until well mixed and add to l them a sprinkle of celery salt, pinch of salt. cup of milk. Mix all we'll and pour into a custard cup. pour into a custard cup. Set in moi water and bake until custard is set Serve hot.

THE USE OF RoRAx.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner:- As the month of May has been usher ed in with most desirable weather conditions we housekeepers (and pos Sibly some of the men), are much aware, these are house cleaning days, and liable to be. perhaps till the June picnic comes off.
 Of course, we all desire to complete this annual task, and quickly and easily as can be found convenient.
 However there are many simple lit- tie hints that may be helpful, if only brought to our attention.
 find the use of borax is valuable in many ways. To condense these uses briefly:-Two tablespoons to a tub of water in which to wash clothes, a teaspoonful to a pan of boiling starch.
 For white silk gloves, ribbons, laces all fine fabrics, use teaspoonful to a quart of water.
 Borax for tooth powder and fo1 washing the hair and scalp.
 Excellent for foot bath, good tc bathe the face after shaving. Always an improvement when used with soap-for cleaning woodwork floors, windows, dishes and sink.
 Sanitary and cleansing for the babies feeding bottle. Babies cloth. ter, leaving them rpuch softer and avoiding roughness, Or irritation. Fol cleansing hairbruslies, boiling out tn, tea or coffee pot, add the borax.
 Olive. Olga and Keziah Doolittle l Many thanks for Easter cards. Hope the sun may shine for the golt ribbon band at the May party. KinC | wishes to all.

WILLAMETTE TO OPEN
FOOTBALL SEASON
First Call to Be Sent Out Soon,
College Expects to Have
Strong Team

The first call for football will be
sent out at Willamette within q few
days. Coach Mathews, who has been
spending the summer at Everett, Wash.
ington, will be here soon, and it will
not be long following his arrival be-
fore the tryingout process will begin.
Those vino are in touch with the situ-
alton express the opinion that william
ette will have a strong team this year.
But one man from last years team
was lost BY graduation. There are
others who will not be back. But it is
understood that number of the Sa-
lem high school stars will enter the
varsity this fall, and it is known that
several other athletes from different
sections of the northwest will do like
wise. At this time it looks as if Coach
Mathews will experience no difficulty
in securing promising squad.
Eugene papers announce the return
of Hugo Bezdek, coach of the Oregon
football team, from Chicago, where he
has spent the summer attending the
University of Chicago medical school.
When asked as to prospects, Bezdek
said: "Prospeets7 l never have any
prospects until | see my men all on
the field in uniform at the first prac,
tice. +" Practice for the Oregon squad
will begin September 12, one day af'
ter the opening of college. in accord
ance with a recent ruling that governs
all of the schools in the northwest and
coast conferences, and that eliminates
the training camp.

Woman Brings Suit
Against Coast League

San Francisco, Sept. THAT the
Pacific Coast league is IT monopoly ex-
isting in violation of the Sherman anti
trust act is the allegation made by
Mrs. Esther Jacobs in suit to re-
rOOve $3l 800 on file in the federal
district court today. The suit is the
aftermath of the failure of the Sacra-
mento club in 1914. In addition to
the league and it's officers, all of the
clubs except Salt Lake are named as
defendants.
Mrs. Jacobs alleges that the Coast
league is conspiring to monopolize base
bali in the state by making it possible
for players to play only In its circuit.
Particular stress is laid upon the form
of contract signed by the players, sub
iecting them to blacklist if they play
outside the league, form that is in
general use, and which, # declared I'M
lawful here, will have serious effect
upon organized baseball.
Mrs. Jacobs asks the recovery OF
three times the amount she advanced
to ner son Lloyd Jacobs who, with
Harry Wolverton, owned tne Saeramen,
to club. The financial matters could
have been settled without trouble, 1t
is alleged, had the Coast league di-
rectors not INTERVIEWED, collected the
gate receipts, kept money from sales

RACE IS
CLOSEST IN HISTORY
Top Notchers Have But Mar
row Margin and It's Any
body's Pennant Yet
By H. G. Hamilton

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, Sept. 7.-'Crucal ser
les" is with us again today in both
major leagues. Pat Moran's Phillies
who vaulted into the uppermost niche
in the Tener circuit, were to stage a
doubleheader with the Braves, their
hated rivals In the American league,
the Tigers and Browns continue their
feud while the batterd Red SOx take
another joust with Connie Mack $ col
legians.
Tne Phillies and Braves accomplish
ed the difficult feat OF moving while
standing still yesterday, for rain kept
them from each others thrOats while
the Giants were dividing a double bill
with Brooklyn. The Philiies are lead
ing by two points over the Dodgers
who are in second place, and the Braves
are just a game in the rear.
he bitter struggle in the American
league with Detroit the william resem-
bles a fish fight more each day. The
Ty Cobbs succeeded in putting a crimp
in Fielder Jones highest ambitions for
the season when they banked yester'
day s conflict but they must 90 at it
again today.
The Red Sox minus the able services
of Bill Carrigan have only the Athlet-
les with whom to argue. Bill was. inyit-
ed to take three day layoff for his
run in with Umpire Loughlin.
The White Sox, too, must nold up I'M
der the strain for they have Cleveland
to dispute in their days work. De-
troit now languishes a game and o
half behind the worlds champions and
the White SoX are pounding along,
the same distance back of Detroit.
