QUESTIONABLE
IN AS SOON AS FILLED

Just as soon as you have filled it
out. and you are sure you are right,
bring it or mail it pack to you local
board.
Although you have seven days to
answer the QUESTIONABLE and return
it, don't keep it the whole seven days
ii you can possibly return it earlier.
This advice to draft registrants is
given by Captain John i. Cullison,
o. r. c., officer in charge of the exc
cution of the draft law in Oregon,
with headquarters in the office Of
Acting Adjutant General Williams.
Captain Cullison says question
naires are coming back rom the draft
registrants so slowly hat unless
there is a decided speeding up, the
local boards are in danger of becom-
ing swamped in the rush of ques-
~tiOnnaires piling up at the last mo-
lnent.
Apparently, he says, the great ma
jCrity Of draft registrants are taking
advantage of the full seven days for
filling out and returning the ques-
~tionnaires.
In order to avoid the resulting con-
G~estion, which will cause confusion
and delay the process of classifying
draft registrants, he urges them es-
pecially to return their question
naiEes as quickly as they can.

.HERMISTON COUNTRY
LOYAL TO RED CROSS
RED CROSS MEMBERSHIP WAS
INCREASED OVER 500
PER CENT.
Asked for $50 Members Community
Raised 62I Members During Drive;
Aggressive Spirit Displayed Causes

(East OregonIan specIal,1

HERMISTON, Dec. 2t.-Hermis-
tons drive in the new Red Cross
membership campaign has been as
successful as anticipated by the cam
paign managers, Thomas Campbell
and Mrs. j. II. Strohm.
The twelve committees appointed
to canvass the various districts Sc
lected Thursday as the day for the
work, and if ever "A territory was
thoroughly combed in a short time
the Umatilla project received it on
Thursday,
In spite of the thorough prepare
ton there We're a few inhabitants
missed on the day of the drive but
they have since been given an oppor-
tunity to honor themselves by plac-
ing a dollar in the hands of the Red
Cross association and their names on
the ron of honor.
Previous to the drive the member
ship of the Hermiston Auxiliary was
enc hundred and seventy six and as
compared with the new membership
it shows a gain of three hundred and
fifty-five per cent.
The Pendleton chapter in arrang-
ing the various quotas for the outly-
ing auXiliaries fixed the quota of this
community at four hundred and fiji
ty and the community responded
with six hundred and twenty-one
newly paid-up memberships. or a
percentage of one hundred and thir-
ty-eight. Your correspondent is
making no claims for Hermiston be-
ing the most patriotic community in
the county but we can and do claim
to be proud CT our achievement and
we all agreed that it is good fortune
to each and every one of us to live
in a community those impulse is
high and is being directed in the
right direction.
To who had the opportunity
to observe the energy displayed by
the committees in their work and the
spirit which ~pervaded the commu
nifty in its response to the appeal
made to 1t, the effect was inspiring
and the conclusion could only be that
the cause vas one uppermost in the
minds of all. 1t is not intended to
cease the good work until the end Of
allotted time and even the above
figures will be swelled to some extent

Walla Walla merchants are
planning drastic reform with
reference to store credits and
the scheme is not without mer-
it; if a 80 day credit system
be observed prices would
be lowered. The chief danger
is that some stores may not OBJ
serve the rule in good faith
hoping to lure customers away
from merchants who keep the
agreement.

THE PENALTY
 OF OYERWORK
Many Alaska People Arc Beginning
 To Feel the Strain

The heavy tax Of overwOrk-the extra strain upon the back so nee essary to many trades and occupa- lions is hard on the kidneys. The kidneys begin to fail in their work and the poisonous matter collects in the system. If your work seems hard for you, if you have a lame, weak or aching back, if you seem tired and listless, if you notice sed- iment in the urne, unnatural color or irregular passages and seem to be running down without apparent cause, begin at once with Doan's Kidney Pills, the remedy that has proven So beneficial to so many residents of this vicinity. It has brought strength to the backs of thousands of working men and wo- men.
 Mrs. Margaret A. Nesary, 1513 Twenty-firs+ Ave, S., Seattle, Wash. says: eff I worked too hard I had dull, slckening pains across my loin and hips, My whole system was affected and made me feel poorly in every way. Spells of dizziness came on and I had a glimmering be fore my eyes at times. My kidneys were irregular in action and the pas sagas were distressing. Deans Kid ney Pills greatly benefited me. In spite n" my advanced age, am ac- tive and do all my own housework." {"

Quilts and Comforters

Qulltmakmg time is here. Try this method this winter: Use a good quail ty of material for the covering, one that will not wear out in many years; save a piece to haste over the end of the comforter to be taken off and washed when soilCd. Use well washed and leased wool for filling instead of cotton. Wool costs twice as much, but gives fire times the warmth and wears practically forever. Make some of the comforters of fine feathers. If you dampen the feathers q little they are easily handled Put the down filled comforter out on the line in the shade on a windy day and it will fluff up again.

Care of Mouth and Throat

Avoid a sore throat. It's the fOrerun' ner of many ills. One who develops the sore throat habit pays the price later in life in rheumatism, appendici, tis and many other diseases. A good atomlzer and a soothing oil spray are splendid Investments. Various throat specialists recommend their use after a dusty drive, after being in a crowd, as at church or school or when there is the slightest indication of infamma' ton. Put the nozzle of the atOmizer between the tightly closed lips, breathe in while pressing the bulb, keep the lips closed and breathe out through tho nose. This method makes the spray reach many small passages that would not otherwise be reached.

The Sickroom

In case of sickness the patients room should have in it only the necessary pieces of furniture-bed one chair and table-no carpets and no draperies. It can then be easily kept clean and sani- tary. Scrubbing should take the place of sweeping, and the dusting should be done with cloth wrung out of disin- fectant solution. Care used in the sick room and about the things used by the patient will have much to do with checking the spread of disease.
