SQUEEZE YOUR FINGER;
TOOTHACHE DISAPPEARS

Pittsburg, How the most irritat-
ing toothach may be relieved by
pressure on certain fingers, and the
cure of lumbago, hay fever, wry
neck and other ailments accomplish
ed by almost same process, was out
lined here by DR.. Fred Kellogg, of
Providence, R. l., before the Pitts
burg Osteopathic association, which
brought him here to lecture on
"zone-therapy."
DR.. Kellogg, in discrbng Zone
therapy," used stereopticon slides to
illustrate his claims for the treat
ment. According to him, one has
but to press a toothbrush against the
roof of his mouth to effect cure
for headache. All one has to do
when suffering with troublesome
case of hay fever is to press the
forefinger of either hand on hard
object. DR.. Kellogg stated that he
generally used an aluminium comb
to curb the disease.
"Zone-therapy," said DR.. Kellogg,
will cure many ills which so far have
baffled medical science"

DANGEiwUS TREES
Some Attract the Lightning More
Than Others

What trees should you especially
avoid during a thunderstorm
First, the popular; second the oak
third, various varieties Of the fir and
pine tree. These are the most likely
to be struck by lightning,
If you seek shelter under tree
pick out an alder. In all Germany,
where a careful investigation was
made recently of the proneness of
trees to become targets for thunder
bolts, not a single instance was
found of an alder being struck.
Virtually third of all trees struck
are oaks. Just hundred times as
many oaks as beech trees are hit by
lightning.
The oak is rs times as dangerous
as the birch and 10 times as fatal as
the pine.
1t is safer to stand beneath a pear
tree than an apple. Walnut and
cherry do not attract electricity so
strongly as elm, willow and chestnut
A tree standing by itself is in
much greater danger than a tree
standing in wood. Trees with
deep roots are more likely to be
struck by lightning than trees with
roots near the surface of the ground.
Trees in damp soil are also better
targets, and therefore less safe
places of shelter than trees in dry
ground.
A house surrounded by oak and
popular trees is hardly ever struck,
as the trees act in the capacity of
rods which divert the thun-
derbolts.
There is an old adage that lightn-
ing never strikes twice in the same
place, but I've seen tree that was
hit more than once.
Evidently the Pennsylvania Ger
mans have also seen similar exam
pies, because they have the two well
grounded superstitions -
eff wood from a tree which was
struck by lightning is burned in the
stove, lightning will strike the
house."
"Wood from a tree struck by |
lightning must never be used in the |
of a house or barn, or
he latter will also be struck by |
lightning" -Philadelphia Ledger. - |

CHILDREN WANT HOMES

The Tennessee Children's Home
Society, located in Nashville, Tenn,
has a number of splendid boys,
whose ages range from four to
seven years, as well as number of
smaller boys. Also a few little girls
These children are ready to be
placed in good family homes on trial,
and if satisfactory, legal adoption
may be had.
The Home also has a number of
infants, from only a few weeks to
one year old, both boys and girls.
While you read this article, do
you not think that you could share
your home with one of these little
unfortunates? The majority of
these little ones have lost both their
mother and father, and you would
be doing a Christ-lke act, in not
only giving happiness and possibili-
ties to the child, but render great
pleasure and happiness to your
home, for no home is complete with
out a child.

TITANIC DAMAGE
SUITS ALL SETTLED

New York, Aug. with the pay
ment of $665,O0Q outside of court
the White Star line stands absolved
of all liability for the sinking of the
steamship Titanic with a loss of
1000 lives and the four years of
litigation of claimants is brought to
an end in a final decree handed
down by Federal Judge Mayer.
Claims totaling $18,000,000 had
been recorded in the Federal Court
by hundreds of claimants alleging
that the ship was lost through the
negligence of her navigators.
Evidence at the trial indicating
that the disaster was accidental, the
claimants agreed upon the payment
to them of 900 to withdraw
their claims and consent to the de-
cree filed, which holds that the
White Star line is mot liable to any
extent for any loss, damage, injury,
destruction or for any claim what
soever."

CATTLE SALES
Good Prices Secured in Home Makk.
kets Encourage Raising of Pure
Bred Stock

Annual cooperative cattle sales,
organized by the South Carolina
State College of Agriculture and the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, have been successful in in
creasing the number of South Caro-
lima farmers who feed out cattle dur
ing the winter. These sales, the
first of which was held two years
ago, have furnished proof, it is said,
that if they can be assured of a
market when theg have finished their
-e-,tle, farmers viii feed cattle on
1 e"ttonseed meal and hulle, silage,
ia1d other southern feeds.
/ As preliminary to the coopera-
tive sale, the farmers in a commun-
! ity are asked to state what number
of cattle each will feed. The date
for the sale is then set so that each
farmer knows when he begins to
| feed his cattle the time at which
they must be ready for market. The
fielding is done with this date in
mind. The day of the sale is an
nounced through letters, newspapers
etc, and every effort is made to at
tract as large a number of buyers
as possible. AS a matter of fact,
the day is usually a gaia occasion
and farmers come in from a wide
radius.
The sale itself is conducted in
much the same manner in which
cattle are sold in the large markets.
Fhis year cattle were sold in two
places, total of 265 being disposed
of. These average in weight close
to 800 pounds and sold for an aver
age of $3.50 per hundred pounds.
The top price was 9 cents a pound,
which was brought by bunch of
seven head of steers averaging al
most 1,400 pounds each. The fact
that steers raised in South Carolina
could sell for $125 a head in home
market made a distinct impression
on the farmers present. The other
prices and weights also averaged
higher than last year. This is re
garded as conclusive evidence that
if market can be provided farmers
readily will improve their methods |
of cattle feeding and breeding
An instructive object Iesson in the |
value of these improved methods is |
by the contrast between the |
different types of cattle sold at these
sales. One man may be compelled |
to dispose of a bunch of native |
scSlbs for 5 cents pound, while
h's neighbor who purchased a pure
bred beef bull three years ago sells
a load of half breed calves from his
5000 bull for 1-2 cents. In such
a case it usually happens that
farmer who has brought the scrubs
20 market adds his name before the
lay is over to the list of men who
nave agreed to buy pure-bred beef
pulls on a cooperative plan.
}At the present time the majority

Commercial Club
Wants Electric Road

The Board of Directors of the Com
mercial Club is of the opinion that now
is the time to build. In a resolution
passed by the board at the meeting
Tuesday noon, it was suggested that a
Joint committee of the Portland Cham
Der Of Commerce and the Salem Com

Of the Southern Pacific and bring to
their attention the fact that about two
years ago, the Southern Pacific secured
the right of way for an electric road
from Portland to Salem and that owing
to unfavorable financial conditions,
nothing had been done.
The fact that the Oregon Electric is
surveying for road from Salem to
Bend rather indicates, at least to the
Board Of Directors, that railroad con
struction work is again to begin in the
stare.
In other words, the Southern Pacific
is to be given the hint that we want
that electric road built to Portland
and If other lines are getting ready to
make extensions, why not the Southern
