housekceper. Sugar is now worth 1910
a hundred pounds for the cane and $3.50
for the beet. The Oldest inhabitant will
have hard time remembering when the
price even equalled today IS quotation.
And right ON top of this bad news comes
the announcement that jobbers are linz
iting dealers to orders of 1000 pounds.
The problem for the housekeeper is to
figure out what will sugar be worth dur
ing the canning season if it is now sell
ing for nine and one-half cents Flour
is worth on the present market 1920 -
barrel for the very best. This may not
be the price quoted by every grocer, but
this is the right retail price il bought
on the present market. Evidently, the
good housekeeper will soon be obliged
to figure on calories and protein and
feed the family accordingly.

Oregon Ship Yards
viii All Be Worked
to Full Capacity

Portland, Ore, April 19.-Tmbers
are being taken from the mountains of
the Coast range today for the first of
the great fleet of "sea jitneys' which
will help Uncle Sam defeat the German
submarine. Shipbuilders and bankers
are today arranging to rush through the
construction of the 3,000-ton vessels. Of
the 1000 which will be built the first
year, 20 per cent, according to govern
ment announcement will be built on the
Pacific coast.
Sawmills are saving their long
straight timbers today for the ships.
They are being piled to one side in sew
eral yards. One logging company today
is planning the construction of a rail
road five miles into body of timber of
exceptional quality, which will be cut
only for use in building the "sea jit-
neys."
1t is impossible even to estimate how
many ships will be built at any par
tieular point along the coast, but all
shipbuilders predict that every yard
will be taxed to capacity and that it
will be necessary to construct many new
ways.
The census of ship carpenters is near
ing completion today. 1t is expected
that the registration will show that
Oregon has 1000 practical ship carpen-
ters. Each carpenter, it is estimated,
can oversee the work of 90 men, so that
it would be possible TO put 10000 men
to work in this state in a short time on
ship construction.

All Alien Enemies
Must Give Up Arms
to Sheriff at Once

The man who is not a citizen of the
United States is an alien, even if he has
lived here so years, Hence he is not in
the present war conditions, privileged
to enjoy all the benefits of citizen.
And more than that, regardless of the
number of years he has lived in the
United States, he will be regarded as an
alien by the sheriff and officers.
By the proclamation of the president
of the United States, it is unlawful for
alien enemies, and this means those who
owe their allegiance TO Germany, Aus
tria, Bulgaria or Turkey, to have in
their possession any firearms, weapons,
or implements of war, or component
part thereof. Nor can the alien law
fully possess ammunition, maxim sill
encer, bomb, or explosive, or even the
materials used in the manufacture of cX-
plosives.
Nor can these aliens passes any sig.
mailing delive, cipher code, or any books
printed or written in cipher or in
which there may be invisible writing.
On the 18th of April, 1917, Max Gehl
har, as district attorney, posted notices
to this effect, and if within "a hours
after the date any alien having above
named articles in his possession, is sub
iect to arrest.
An alien is one who has not taken out
his final naturalization papers. Hence
it is up to all aliens to at once surrend.
er their firearms and ammunition to the
sheriff. If they are surrendered volun
tarily, they viii be returned at the
close of the war by the sheriff. If found
in the possession of aliens, they will be
forfeited to the Un,ted States.

Get IN the habit Of drinking =
glass Of hot water before

We're not here long, let s make ouI
stay agreeable. Let us live well, eat
well, digest well, work well, sleep well
and look well, what a glorious condition

IL one will only adopt the morning in

Folks who are accustomed to fee
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold, fou

can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole OF the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick oi
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, dring a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoOnful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
day 8 indigestible waste, sour bile anC
poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweet
ening and purifying the entire alimen
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach. The action of hot
water and limestone phosphate on al
empty stomach is wonderfully invigO
rating. 1t cleans out all the sour fer
mentations, gases, waste and acidity
and gives one splendid appetite fol
breakfast. While you are enjoying
your breakfast the water and phos
phate is quietly extracting a large vol
ume of water from the blood and get
ting ready for thorough flushing Of
all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells
stomach trouble; others who have al
low skins, blood disorders and sickly
complexions are urged to get quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from thu
drug store. This will cost very little
but is sufficient to make anyone {
pronounced crank on the subject of in
side bathing before breakfast.

PRESS CENSORSHIP
BILL STARTS FIGHT
Press Should Be Free to Print
Anything Not Aiding the
Enemy

Washington. April l9.-The fight il
the senate against the administration Z
proposed drastic newspaper censorship
regulations which form part of the es
pionage measure continued unabate,
today.
Emboldened by the bitter deunueie
tions of the suggested censorship by
Senators Lodge, Brandegee, Thomas
johnson and others, its opponents to
day flatly declared if the bill passes
unchanged, cit would make the pres,
of the nation the virtual tool of tn,
government 4"
Such a law, these men declared
would completely muzzle all publica
tions in the matter of comment or crit
icism of the plans or policies of the
government.
Lodge reiterated his charge thai
''under the bill newspapers could not
print anything that the administration
didn' Z want them TO print.
Liveliest debate since the war pro
gram OF legislation started has beer
stirred up by the censorship clause.
An amendment designed to permit
newspapers to print any information
Except that useful to the enemy,
was put forward by Lodge. Thomas il
preparing another amendment aimed a
the same object.
''This bill puts into the hands of tn,
president and his departments to de
eide the liberties of the people, Thorn
as declared. "I'd rather have no Law
at all than this monstrous law
Lodge took a fling at the committee
of public information appointed by tn,
president by declaring:
''We are told that board of cen
sorship has been appointed to act a
censors Of the press of the Unitet
States. 1t puts absolutely into tn
hands of the heads of the two de
partments that are to conduct the wa
the power to send to prison any mai
who criticises their administration, al
though not giving information to tn
enemy.
"There is a very broad distinction
between what is useful to the enem.
and what the head or a department
says in his opinion he thinks might b
useful to the enemy The president ca
not attend to every case that comes u
he has to rely upon those very dc

Pathe Exchange. In this perturbation
of King Lear, Frederick Warde takes
the part of the rugged, old semi-barbar-
ic king In his letter to his Salem
friend, Mr., Warde writes:
"The scientific development of mo-
tion photography now permits the pro
dueers to present upon the screen a
more lavish and elaborate presentation
OF great plays than it is possible to
give on the dramatic stage, and in the
case of Shakespearian productions
though the exquisite poetry and philos-
ophy of the spoken word may be alb.
sent, the magnitude of the scenes, the
elaboration of the action, and com
ipletencss of the connection of the
story, fills the eye, satisfies the mind
and gratifies the imagination even
