PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS.

Senator A. E. Clark and wife Of
Oklahoma spent the weekend with
the family of Bert r. Greer. Mr..
Clark has oil properties in the Mid
continental field that yield more than
three thousand barrels of oil per day.
The Standard Oil Company takes 1t
at 81 per barrel. He will return this
summer for an extended visit and
may invest in Ashland property. Mr..
Greer advised him to invest here. He
told him Ashland Offered the best
opportunity for profitable investment
lust now to be found anywhere in
America, because it had been very
quiet for a long time and city values
were exceedingly low. Now Ashland
had found her proper line of develop
ment and would advance more in the
next three years than she had in all
her history. The writer no longer
hesitates TO advise his friends to in
vest in Ashland. With the influx OF
new families and further development
of our tremendous resort resources
Ashland is bound to go forward, and
Ashland property is the best bet on
earth. The only thing Ashland citi-
zens need now is to exemplify an
honest optimistic spirit TO strangers
and put all her energies and her
taxes into forwarding the resort en-
terprise-make everything else sub
seryient TO that-and the immediate
future results will surprise the most
optimistic. The resources for big de-
velopment along tourist lines are
here. All strangers see and realize
the big chance. 1t only remains for
Ashland citizens to realize 1t and act
upon it. Don't hold to the mistaken
notion that the only asset upon which
a city can grow and prosper is fruit
culture, agriculture or manufactur-
ing. The tourist game is more prof
table and substantial. Southern Cal
ifornia has demonstrated that beyond
cavil.

as the capital of Lincoln state. He
would change the names Of Salem and
Portland to Manila and Funston.

According to the tariff filed with
the public service commission by the
railroads the new rates from Port
land to Chicago from all cities in the
Northwest has been increased $500.
Under this new ruling the traveller
will pay s109 to go from Portland
to Chicago and return. If he goes
by way of San Francisco direct to
Chicago and return the same way
he will be required to pay $3.50;
II he desires to go this same route
but takes the steamer instead Of
the train from Portland to San Fran
cisco his fare will be 1928. Should
tho traveller desire to go by way Of
Seattle on the Prince Rupert route,
It will cost him 1921. In going from
Salem the fare from this city to Port
land will be added.-Salem Journal.

Ashland, Ore, Thursday, Mar. -, 4
MORALITY VS.. CHRISTIANITY.

Looks to an outsider like most Of
the functions of the church are being
usurped by legislation. II the churches
go on advocating sumptuary regula-
tion OF all moral conduct-attempt-
ing to make men good by law-there
will soon be little left in the legiti-
mate field for the church to do. Re-
pentance comes before conversion.
Men morally good seldom repent.
They get the notion that morality Is
the equivalent of Christianity, and as
that notion prevails the church Is
likely to feel a depressing effect.
Preaching and organizing for repent
ance and conversion, as fixed
church function, will bring the reign
of Christ in the hearts OF men, we
think, much speedier than preaching
and organizing for the passage OF
sumptuary moral legislation. We
think 1t is fact that in communities
where churches become most insistent
and active for moral reform as a po-
litical issue-especially ultra moral
reform-a wide breach between the
church and those whom the church
hopes to reach is the rule, and great
revival efforts on the part OF the
church result in Indifferent success
or flat failure. To the outsider the
line OF demarcation between morality
and Christianity is dim enough. They
are likely TO get the notion that the
hope OF the church is for morality in
stead of Christianity. IT least, this
is a point worth considering. Might
not it be properly said that every
thing grows with what it feeds on?
% Feed on morality, and morality
should be the logical growth. Is
morality and Christianity the self
same thing? II not, then the preach
ing of the gospel is vastly more i'm
portant TO humanity than sumptuary
legislation either by state statutes or
city ordinances. II morality always
follows Christianity and Christianity
does not necessarily follow morality.
which should be the greatest aim OF
the church, to Christianize or moral
ize?

Two months ago a family came
here with the idea OF locating, but
after listening to the doleful walls Of
neighbors for a time went away and
will likely locate in Roseburg. Ash
land needs optimism. Pessimism gets
community nowhere. Never the
city that has so rosy a prospect for
the future. Ashland's tourist aspira-
tions are every whit justified. There
is latent power enough in her under
taking to build up a splendid thrifty
community, but 1t can not be done by
groaning your woes in the ears OF
prospective settlers. Get the optimis'
tic spirit. Remember that the wise
one said. "Ninety-nine per cent Of
your troubles will never happen.
That is as true as holy writ. Get the
optimistic spirit and things will gel
so good you can't complain.

SPRING TINE, GENTLE ANNIE.

This sunshiny weather makes a
fellow feel like doing something.
There's the garden and there's the
hoe. Besides that, Ashland has big
community job on hand for 1917, to
make this the biggest tourist year in
the history of the town. Not too early
now to begin. Citizens should get to-
gether at once on some definite plans
looking to that end. The Fourth OF
July committee and the roundup
boosters have good start, but those
two attractions are not enough
Something should be doing every
week of the summer season to enter
tain tourists who will visit Ashland

TRUE BEAUTY FROM WITHIN
Beautiful Skin, Outward Sign Of In.
ward Health, Depends Most Of
All on Perfect Digestion.

True beauty comes from within, In
stead Of from without. A healthy
skin is the outward sign and the natur-
al result Of inward health.
A muddy or dingy skin is evidence
of the presence Of pOisons-poisons
that are more than skin deep. It
means the accumulation Of tissue
wastes and particles Of wornout mate
rial lying about the cells Of the body,
clogging the tissues, interfering with
all the functions Of the skin, clOgging
the brain, paralyzing the nerve CEN
tiers and enervating the bodily ener-
gies.
A dingy skin cannot be cured by ex-
ternal applications. Cosmetics may
conceal the evidence of external grim
mess, but the griminess itself must
be got rid Of by a simple and pure
diet.
A natural diet of fruits, grain and
nuts Is most conducive to a clear,
healthful and beautiful complexion.
Cheese, oysters, sausage, rich pas
tries, condiments and foods of this
kind cOnduce to the production Of
hollow cheeks, dark-circled eyes and
leathery skin, which no cosmetics,
baths or external applications Of any
sort can remedy.
Clean living is required to produce
a clear skin-one that is clean all the
way through, and transparent enough
to let the bright, pure blood coursing
in the arteries beneath shine through,
thus producing the bloom Of health.
A beautiful skin depends most Of all
upon perfect digestion. The processes
of digestion have direct bearing upon
the color Of the cheeks, which usually
show pretty we'll whether woman is
enjoying good health and Is free from
digestive disorders.

FR0CKS OF JUMPER VARIETY
Idea Carried Out by Bib Effect In
Front and Sometimes in Back, OF
Same Material as Skirts.

Some of the afternoon dresses ror
summer seem to be modelled somewhat
on the idea Of a bretelle or jumper
dress. There Is bib effect in front.
and sometimes in back, Of taffeta, satin
or Of whatever the skirt may be made.
This allows considerable of the blouse.
Of a thinner material, to show, which
gives light and cool appearance to
the dress. The sleeves often stop be-,
tween the elbow and wrist. The loose
pagoda or coat sleeve type OF sleeves
are most favored, because they are
new and particularly suited for sum-
mer wear. They are not cut too wide.i
about sixteen inches in circumference
at the lower edge.
Foulard silk in coin spots or pencil
stripes is the favorite material for
these jumper dresses. The guimpes
are Of lingerie or georgette crepe.
Jumper frOcks of linen also are seen,
those made of washable satin combined
with net.
Georgette crepe is still considered
the ideal fabric for afternoon dresses.
and voiles, both cotton and silk, which
have the charm of newness. Plain and
figured wolfe are combined with artis-
tic effect in lovely afternoon gowns.
The upper part may be Of the figured
or checked wolfe with the lower part OF
the plain.

CaIorv Is Measure of Heat.

Calory is a word so much used by
physicians and writer's upon diet that
there Is no excuse for anyone not I'M
derstanding what it means. The defini-
ton Of the word calOry in the
dictionary is: zone or two recOg-
nized units of heat, of which the great
er calory' or 'kilogram calory' is the
amount Of heat necessary to raise one
kilogram of water 1 degree c.; the
lesser calory' or small calOry' being
the amount of heat necessary to raise
one gram Of water 1 degree c."
Calory, then, is measure Of heat.
The human body may be likened to a
furnace, and the food that goes into it
to the fuel, for this, in fact. is exactly
what it is, as it supplies the body
with what enables it to keep up its
heat. So the heat-giving qualities Of
our food are measured in calOries.

PUTTING IN THE SKIRT HEM
Home Dressmaker Can Do Job Smooth
Iy With Wooden Froeks by Means
Of Shrinking.

Home dressmakers frequently find 1t
difficult to put in the hem Of wooden
frock smoothly. This can be done with
little trouble by means Of shrinking.
Place a damp cloth over the hem apd
press from the lower edge Of the skirt
toward the top. All the extra fullness
can be entirely shrunk out, providing
the hem is not too wide.
This method does away with small
plaits usually found in hem, the lines
Of which are almost sure to slow on
the outside Of the skirt when the hem
is pressed.
In finishing the edge Of the hem do
not turn the cloth in. Basic the raw
edge flat to the other part of the skirt
and over this edge lay flat piece of
seam binding. Sew the edge that does
not 60 through the right side with silk
o, cotton thread, but the top edge
should be sewed with a thread of the
fabric, drawn from lengthwise piece
of the material, not crosswise.

WARNING ON infant PLAGUE
Medical Scientists Place Themselves in
State of Preparedness to Repei
Advances of Foe.

The best war news of home signifi-
canoe published the other day related
to the new state of preparedness in
which our medical scientists find them
selves for the fight with infantile par
alysis and it's microbes, observes the
New York World. In case of a fresh
advance by these foes of childhood in
the coming summer, the prospects for
a distinct repulSe are encouraging.
1t Is from the research forces of the
Rockefeller institute that the bulle-
tins come of a progressive readiness.
Not least encouraging among the
discoveries of the doctors is the fact
that two centers of generally efficient
defense are characteristic of the body
itself. One of these is in the SecretiOns
Of the nose and throat, the entrance
avenues of the microbes. The other is
in certain membUnes, when intact,
surrounding the spinal cord and brain.
A slight injury to these membranes
will let the virus in when the disease
germs have once passed the other bar
riers How frequently the defenses
succeeded all around is shown by the
record of last summers attacks, only
1.59 cases of paralysis occurring to
every 1000 of population in this city.
This would mean about 16 cases to
city of 10000 people.
Passing from natural preventive to
discovered remedies, the doctors tell of
a better serum and of methods of ad-
ministratiOn made more effective by
winters study and experiment. Alto
gether the research bulletins go far to
strengthen the counsel, found to be
we'll based even in last summers cpl
demic, against panic and nerve-racking
worry.

waited for it after an almost silent
walk, he did manage to shake hands
and tell her she'd hear from him soon.
But he kicked his way to the curb
after the car had carried her off, and
marched to his hotel in a sort OF

grace. His friends had been sorry for
him, with just grain of contempt;
his acquaintance had grinned over
it with just pleasurable salt of
pity. ''Do you know Aldrich? Well,
his wife's in the chorus at the Globe
theater. And he doesn't know it, poor
devil"
The northwest wind which had been
blowing Jelly since shutdown, had in
creased in violence to gale. But he
strobe out Of the lobby and into the
street unaware of it.
He found the stage door and pulled
it open. An intermittent roar Of hand
clapping, increasing and diminishing
with the rapid rise and fall Of the
curtain, told him that the perform
ance was just over.
A doorman stopped him and asked
him what he wanted.
II want to see Mrs. Aldrich," he
said. "Mrs. Rodney Aldrich."
'No such person here" said the
man, and Rodney, in his rage, simply
assumed that he was lying. 1t didn't
occur to him that Rose would have
taken another name.
He stood there moment, debating
whether to attempt to force an en-
trance against the doorman's unmis-
taxable intention to stop him, and de-
cided to wait instead.
The decision wasn't due to common
sense, but to wish not to dissipate
his rage on people that didn't mat
ter. He wanted it intact for Rose.
He went back to the alley, braced
himself in the angle of a brick pier,
and waited. He neither stamped his
! feet nor failed his arms about to drive
off the cold. He just stood still with
the patience of his immemorial ances-
tor, waiting, unconscious Of the lapse
of time, unconscious Of the figures
that presently began struggling out Of
the narrow door that were not she.

ParasoIs for Summer.

The parasol, which has been some
what neglected for several summers,i
is again high In favor. In Its new
form it is delightfully."- fanciful, and
both care and ingenuity have been ex-
pended upon its fashioning. Those
most practical are. Of course, in the
plain one-tone effects in dark or medi-
UNI coloring. and Of these there Is an
ample supply in oil the modish color
ings. To be smart, one Of these plain
parasols must have an effective ham
die, and in recognition Of this fact the
manufacturers have been bringing out
handles that are beautiful and ex-
ceedingly clever in design. The bright
hued enamels are particularly effec-
tive, and they go we'll with the CAV
hues Of sports hats and sports cos
tunes. These cleaning enamels come
in beautiful reds, green's, blues, pur-
pies, yellows and rose tints.
