Ashland and Lithia Park
Ashland has wonderful future as
tourist resort and a health resort.
No city in the west has a keener ap-
probation of the value of recreation,
health and climate than Ashland.
Within the city limits or in the inn
mediate vicinity Of Ashland there are
more than so highly mineralized
springs, including lithia springs, hot
sulphur springs, magnesia springs,
and others containing combinations
OF magnesia, sodium and iron. The
citizens Of Ashland recently voted a
bond issue of $175,0OO and have
spent this sum upon the development
Of their springs and park. AS a con-
sequence few cities in the west are
better prepared to make pleasant the
stay of tourists than Ashland.
A park of 81 acres has been created
in which are children's Fairgrounds,
tennis courts, croquet grounds, rustic
summer houses, bandstands, picnic
grounds with rustic tables and seats
and through the park there flows a
picturesque mountain stream-Ash-
land creek. Auto tourists and camp
ers are made welcome without money
and without price to the many advan-
tages of Lithia park. A camp ground
has been provided for them which
is we'll lighted and we'll cared for
The camp ground is connected with
the various city conveniences.. 1t is
we'll severed, electric lighted and has
a commodius kitchen with lockers for
storing food, and sinks for washing
dishes. Gas stoves are available for
the use Of the city's guests, the gas
being on tap by dropping a coin in
the slot. Throughout the park are
numerous natural springs Of pure
mountain water, as we'll as fountains
of mineral water. Adjoining Lithia
park is Chautauqua park and City
park, while stretching upward and

WASTE

When Lord Northcliffe was in this
country recently, he made the state
ment. "the waste of the average AM
erican family will support the aver
age French family"
II that is not literally true. 1t at
least comes near enough to it to
point a decidedly interesting moral.
America can do a great deal toward
winning this war by eliminating
waste.
England has most elaborate sys-
,em Of prevention of Food waste. A
somewhat similar system is being
worked out in this country. But
France has nothing OF the sort, for
none is necessary There is prac-
tically no waste in all France. From
the day the war begun. France start
ed to save her food. That is one ex-
planation Of the wonderful military
poweress she has shown. French
thrift and French success go hand in
hand.
L.. hnr uhinh m
erica can well heed. The govern
ment does not ask that the people
OF this country should practice the
close saying that has characterized
the French. II would do no good to
make such request, for Americans
have not been drilled in this habit,
quite the contrary in fact. But II
the real service to the nation and
its holy cause, which can be render
ed through the great mass OF our
people avoiding waste and using
foods that cannot be exported to ad-
vantage, and save those three OF
four things which Europe needs SC
badly; can be drilled into the aver.
age man and woman OF tAis coun-
try, that accomplishment will be a
wonderful step toward bringing the
war to successful termination.
There should be enough OF the in.
dividual satisfaction in doing the
thing that each knows will help a
mite, to get it done. It is not the
matter of the effort, for there Is
none; it is not the matter of sac.
rifice, for no sacrifice is asked. II
is simply that the observance Of the
governments request is so simple
that It is overlooked.
''Hooverize" for Just one week
