gon will be protected by strict pre-
yentstive measures against the possi-
BILE introduction Of infantile paralysis
infection, through orders issued Sun
day by the State Board Of Health, and
forwarded by State Health Officer
David N. Roberg to all local health
officers, and county judges, throughout
the state.
To further insure the observance Of

the State Board of Health 10 issue a
proclamation to the county judges Of
Oregon, instructing them 10 establish

ment Of medical inspectors and assist
ants.
Incoming passengers, under l5 years
Of age, from all Eastern points, will
be met at each station by authorized
inspectors. Their temperatures will
be taken. II the temperature be above
normal, or II any other indication Of
the dread malady is observed, the child

Republic Sought by Anarchist

sinate President de la Plaza was made
Sunday by self-styled anarchist. The
President was standing on a balcony Of

Socialists Insist Food Supply is Short.

The During debate on the
food situation at the Thursday evening
session of the Berlin city council, the
Socialists complained of the inequality
and inadequacy of the distribution of
food under the mass-feeding scheme.
Councillor Mommsen declared that no
resident of Berlin was yet starving.
This elected a sharp contradiction.
Municipal Physician Weber main
tanned there was no question of under
feeding, yet, whereupon cries of strong
dissent arose from the Socialists.
The Socialist councillor, Hoffman,
said that he himself had been patient
at the Rudolph Virchow hospital for
months, and knew how seriously the
dietary had been reduced.

Seattle, Wash.-Seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars in gold bullion,
the largest shipment received from
Alaska this year, was brought here

Fairbanks by the first steamer up the
Yukon and transported to Skagway

II the family has the means there are
two ways open, both of which may be
used at some time.
A child may be given a small regu-
lar allowance for his own use. Through
this he may learn the Joy of immedi-
ate indulgence of trifing whims; or
he may learn to expend his resources
with discrimination; or he may learn
the advantages Of deferring expendi-
ture for more favorable purchasing.
For the reason that the allowance is
a part of the routine income of the
child. by virtue of his membership in
the home community, 1t should never
be used as an instrument Of "discf-
pline." AS to its amount, 1t should
be increased only in recognition Of
larger needs, and 1t should be dimin-
ished only when retrenchment is
necessary for the family as a whole
or when changing conditions indicate
reduced needs for the child.
In addition to allowance children
should have opportunities to earn ex-
ira amounts of money. 1t is the money
earned that gives them the necessary
inner experience without which one is
never able to translate money value
into terms of effort and exertion and
sacrifice. Money that comes without
effort may teach the child to spend
wisely, or to save; but 1t can never
teach him the human cost of the things
that he uses from day to day. 1t is
perhaps at this point more than any
where else that the children of the
well-to-do fail to become acquainted
with the life problems of the mass Of
the people. They come to feel the
value of money in terms OF what it
can buy, but not in terms of what it
costs. Only in the effort of labor can
the true value of money be conceived.

HILLS EXCUSE IS
 VOTED WITH PARTY
Congressman Silent in Other Re-
 SpeCtS on His Vote

Washington, March 10.-The math- ematicians and political experts are busy analyzing the vote in the house of representatives upon the question of tabling the McLemOre resolution warning Americans off armed mer- chant vessels of the belligerent coun- tries.
 There are all sorts of com pima tions being worked out and answers be- ing obtained The situation is not like puzzle, which has only one so- lution. There are almost ,nany solutions as there are men at work on the problem of how and why President Wilson was sustained
 The lightning calculators have fig ured, out that 32 states of the union voted to sustain the president in the armed merchantmen crisis all or most of the members from that many states having voted: to table the Nc IemOre reSo lutfOn. .'
 Questions of party politics, geogra- phy and other matters entered into the calculation, it appears. An inn pression had gained ground that the middle west cast most of the votes against the president, but that section was by no means unanimous. For instance, practically all the Indiana members voted with the president On the other hand. most of the Illi- nois delegation voted against him. Minnesota was solidly against him. but they were practically all repuh- licans, so tNot # is difficult to dra " conclusions as to a sectional division | on the question in this instance. a>; it would hG Co draw sucn conclusion

WARS GRIM TOUCH
 IN THE HOLY LAND
Care of Sacred Spots Taken From
 Natives in the East
(Correspondence of The Associated Press

Correspondence of The Associated Press,)
 London, Feb. 1S.-The care of the Holy Places brought on the Crimean war, with the siege of Sebastopol, the battle of Inkerman and the Charge or the Light Brigade just as the caro or these Holy Places, so called, had before that convulsed all Europe with the three crusades, and yet the care of these same Holy PlacGs-the Holy Sepulcher at Jerusalem, the place of the Nativity at Bethlehem, and the countless other landmarks of the Christianity-are changing hands as an incident of the present war, and almost imperceptibly because of the noise of the conflict in so many other theaters of warfare.
 One report is that a military shoot fng-range has been set up on Mount Calvary, the site above all others ven- erated by the Christian world as the place of the crucifixion. But inquiry establishes that if this rifle-range eX- ists it is at the Gordon Calvary, so called, after General Gordon of khar- tum fame, who designated it as what he believed to be the real site, though it is not the Calvary commonly ae- cepted by tradition, venerated and guarded by Pilgrims and the Church and contended for by European na- tions. This Gordon Calvary is in the outskirts of Jerusalem, some distance from the traditional site of the Holy Sepulcher.
 From a military standpoint, all at tention to the German-Turkish mili- tary operations in Syria has been ab sorbed in the slow approach south ward toward Egypt and the Suez can oI ,ia1, SJs 1f,G hn hn link between Europe and the Orient S8ut while this main military object has been going on, it has involved at the same time the steady occupation of the entire Holy Land as part of the field of preparation and advance With military forces in control aS Jerusa- lem. Bethlehem, Nazareth and through out the region Of the Holy Places, and the French, Italian, Eng, fish and other custodians Of these Etes. expelled or interned. Seven Of the Italian custodins at Bethlehem the site of the Nativity-have recent ly been interned by the military -u- thorities and their place is to be taken by Austrian custodians.
 Beersheba Military Base
 The sweep of this German Turkish movement through the Holy Land is shown by the fact that the military railway, on which the approach to Egypt depends. is believed to be con- structed to the desert outskirts Of Beersheba. This is the same town re- ferred to in holy writ, and which ere ated the Biblical phrase from Dan to Beersheba,,' as it is the uttermost lm- it of the Holy Land, where 1t naerges into the desert leading to Egypt. It is this biblical point, Beersheba, which Is expected to be the military base, to which the railway will bring down

1 supplies from the north, for the ad- 1 vance across the desert, should the at l tack on Egypt ever be carried out as 1 it has been loudly heralded. So that Beersheba today Is performing the same function as in Biblical days i the last outpost before entering the | desert, 15O miles across, with an ocean l of white sand and almost no water ] holes-none adequate for the watering | of a great army. The only cavalry l here must be such as is mounted on ] camels, with the dazzling white sand as deadly to the eyes and throats Of beasts and riders as poison gas is to the men on the firing line.
 Cardinal Bourne in the course of | a talk with the Associated Press men, l toned the solicitude felt for these sacred shrines and the gradual way their care was changing hands. He pointed out, however, that the Sultan of Turkey had in past years given guarantees for the continued Christian protection to the shrines, so that while the nationality for this care might change the Cardinal felt that it would still be Christian. For specific in quiries on the Holy Places. the Card inars entourage referred to the Com
 missioner for the Holy Land, a mem-
 Der of the Franciscan community To-
 cated in the outskirts of London.
 Seen at the Franciscan monastery,
 the Commissioner, Fr. Albert, gave
 such information as had filtered
 through As to the report of
 shooting-range at Calvary he pointed
 out that this did not refer to the sa-
 cred spot accepted for centuries as
 Calvary but to the so-called Gordon
 Calvary first located by General Cor
 don few years ago. After Gordon's
 services in China. where he became famous as Chinese" Gordon he spent
 some time in the Holy Land, and then
 in the Soudan where he was a victim
 of the Mahdi at Khartu mbefore the
 Kitchener Relief Expedition arrived.
 Kitchener Concurs With Gordon.
 The last time F'r. Albert visited the Holy Land he was in company with Lord Bute, and as they passed this i so-calIed Gordon Calvary, Lord Butte | stated that Lord Kitchener had told l him he supported the claim of Gen | eral Gordon as to the Gordon Cal l vary. This was a curious circum- 1 the victim of khar- | tum, locating a new Calvary and 1! then Kitchener of Khartunl, support 1

ing the theory of the explorer whose fame was so closely linked with his own at khartum.
 The reports reaching Er Albert indicated that the Italian and French custodians of the different Holy Places had been interned by the mil itary authorities, Austrians or some of the Eastern sects replacing them Greeks, Armenians and even Abys- SinianS-thOugh little is known of who is in charge, except that most of the Latin custodians are interned.
 While the changes do not consti- ute a loss of Christian control yet they show the shifting of the na- tionality of that control. which has been a frequent cause of international complication in the past.
 Besides the main points of military operation in this locality, like Beer sheba and Jerusalem. the whole range of this biblical country is affected by the military activity. But the chief interest is at Bethlehem, Nazareth and Jerusalem At Bethlehem is the sanctuary of the Nativity, a subter- ranean chamber 32 feet long, encased in rare marbles and constantly guard ed and lighted. with a marble slab making the place of the Nativity. At Jerusalem is the besilica over the Holy Sepulcher, first built by Constan- tine, often swept away and built again, and now q vast monument, embracing within it's walls and be- meath it's dome the sacred tomb which has been guarded for ages.

DON'T 60 TO BED WITH

Says: "Often Brings on Attacks Of
 Acute Rheumatism.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and people who are subject to attacks of rheumatism should never go to bed with cold feet.
 A whole lot is being said about taking salts and effervesing tablets for rheumatism and sciatica, but those who suffer sharp twinges and painful swollen joints need something powerful to overcome their piteous suffering.
 Any broad-minded druggist will tell you that one-half teaspoonful of Rheuma taken once a day is; driving g more rheumatism out of afflicted peo- pie than all the salts on earth.

 Asked about his vote today Mr. Hill said:

 1ilson Stands by President.
 Representative Tilson of Connecti- cut commenting upon his vote to table the resolution, said f"
 My vote speaks for itself I stood by the president I wanted to do so, and l felt that everybody should stand by him. Tn the first place, however, did not think the question of armed merchantmen and submarine warfare should have been brought into the house of representatives. That is why I voted against the rule which pro- vided for a method of considering and disposing of the question. It was q matter of diplomatic negotiations, our foreign relations, aud the duties of the executive. Congress properly had nothing to do with it. If we had passed a resolution warning Amer jeans off bellgerent armed merchant ships it could have had no more ef- feet, in my judgment, than if Sun day school or debating society had taken similar action. However. oncc the matter got before congress there was only one thing to do, namely, to stand by the president. Personally l am opposed to warning Americans against exercising their undouhtcd rights"
