Appeals to Motor Drivers

" Every year brings an increase in
motor vehicle accidents at railroad
grade crossings. Grade crossings are
unavoidable. They are one of the in.
conveniences of progress, to be elimin.

railroads are doing their best, but it
takes time and a great deal of money.
No matter what safeguards we

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid which
flows in the blood, affecting the mus
cles and joints, producing inflammation,
stiffness and pain. This acid gets into
the blood through some defect in the
digestive processes, and remains there
because the liver, kidneys and skin are
too torpid to carry it off.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-tlme
blood tonic, is very successful in the
treatment Of rheumatism. 1t acts d.
rectly, with purifying effect, on the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys and skin, which it stim'
ulates, and at the same time it improves
tho digestion.
Get Hood s sarsaparilla today. Sold

library Patronage
AND PUBLIC THOUGHT
Books on Naturalization and
Preparedness Are Work
ing Over Time

The state public library to a great ex-
tent reflects the general trend of
though in Oregon. If certain line of
books are being called for from all
parts of the state, this indicates that
| the people are thinking along those
lines. For instance, books on natural
ization, preparedness and those treating
on plays and pageants are greatest in
demand.
Since the beginning of the European
war, the state library, according to
the librarian, Miss Cordelia Marvin,
has been receiving calls for books treat
ing on naturalization, and the demand
has been so active during the past three
months that every book in the library
treating on naturalization has been out
with a waiting list.
The war is also causing people from
all parts of the state to read up on
preparedness. Debating societies are
also calling for books, especially from
the rural parts of the country.
Books on plays and pageants are in
great demand from the smaller towns
and even from the rural schools. Since
commencement exercises in several
cities have taken the form of a pageant,
general interest has been aroused in
school plays. In the rural districts,
the demand for wider social life has
brought the school huuse and even the
country schurch before the people as a
place for social amusement, in the form
of plays, musical programs and play
lets.
Now that all teachers in the state are
obliged to read certain books before
teaching certificates are granted, the
teachers throughout the state are send
ing to the state library calling fof at
( least one Of the books included in the
list.
For some reason, possibly due to the
urging Of the magazines so popular
with women, there has been q great de-
mand at the state library for books on
the care of babies and children. Pos
sibly the continual urging Of the fact
that the health of children depends
much on the mothers knowledge of q
few rules of hygiene has had much to
do with the calls for books on general
health.
Men who want information on praeti-
cal subjects are taking advantage of
the state library. Recently a letter
was received from man living in Gil
( liam county. He wrote that the farmers
were thinking of changing the manner
of handling their wheat from that of
shipping it in sacks to that of handling
it in bulk He asked for books giving in
