FROM THE SANITARY BOARD

Cdl6l1y L Gu. "a 1910.
Editor Capital Journal:
Answering your correspondent, Mr..
James X. Sears, who makes inquiry as
to whether or not the party, Alan
Green, is the same party who was sold
diseased cattle by the McMinnville
C0ndensary Company, permit me to say
that Mr.. Alan Green purchased his eat
tie from a party by the name of A.
Helm and was later given Judgment
for the amount of $500 because they
were proved diseased.
Mr.. Jens Thomson, who purchased
the cattle from the McMinnville Con
densary Company, has likewise been
given judgment for some $3.50, this be-
ing the difference between the salvage
money that Mr.. Thomson had already
received from the sale of the reactor
animals and the original purchase price
and includes, also, expense of deliver
ing the cattle to Portland for slaughter
and other moneys expended incident to
the proner disposition of these animals
/ beg TO inform Mr.. Sears that the
McMinnville Condensary Company
plead guilty to violating a state quar-
ttltAue HHu FttAu tue AAhS HAbNANttt "
law covering same If the Condensary
people were pledged any immunity,
as Mr.. Sears intimates, they at least
did not attempt to avail themselves OF
it in either the criminal or civil pro-
eeedings of this ease.
If Mr. Sears viii but look through
his file of daily papers during the past
week ne will note a press report TO
the effect that James E. Dorsey, mil
lionaire cattle dealer from Gilberts,
Illinois, and sponsor for the Elgin Road
Races, and the party who shipped the
Illinois cattle to the MeMinnville Con
densary Company, was last week con
vieted Of sending falsely certified
diseased animals interstate and has
been sentenced to serve term in the
Federal penitentiary. Mr.. Dorsey's
conviction was largely secured from
evidence gathered and forwarded the
Illinois authorities by members of the
State Live Stock Sanitary Board. All
of these statements made may be con-
firmed BY court records and Mr.. Sears
is respectfully referred to the Yam
hill and Multnomah County Courts of
Oregon and the Federal Court for the
Northern district Of Illinois for verifi-
cation Of same.
Kindly make it clear TO Mr.. Sears
that Senator Hawlev is in no way
responsible for any act of the State

WITH A MANICURE ON THE SIDE.
Business had been very sluggish in
Tisso's Tonsorial Parlor. One man had
come in for haircut, it's true, but
when he took off his hat before the MIR
ror and realized with start that ne
had forgotten he was absolutely bald,
he went right out again.
So Angelo Comeoffo, head barber,
perked up a bit when Sluieeway Corn
bred walked in and sat down in Come
offo 's chair.

Cut from the left to the right and

of my nose to steady yourself.

Cornbred was haircutted and shaved.

And Comeoffo slapped er on and then

And Comeoffo gave him both with

a percentage basis, And after that he
suggested, "Eel's foot tonic prevents

AN OFFENDED HUSBAND
CHAPTER XIII.


Merton Gray made his way to my
side as soon as the men came into
the drawing room l was so glad to
be freed from the necessity of an
swering questions: and making my
self agreeable to the women of the
party that | welcomed him gladly.
" Been having hard time of it9''
he asked.
"fNot SO very" I responded; and
then we both laughed, as young
things will. I saw George make his
way to the fascinating widow" as
Mr.. Gray called Julia Collins, and !
Watched him closely as he talked to
her. By turns I became Jealous, an
CRY, and resentful. I thought that
if I were like her George would not
think me unfit. How they seemed to
hang upon his words, in an eager
seductive way. l hated them all.
especially the vivaeious Mrs. Collins.
Why did George seem so engrossed
with her? Why he hadn t even looked
my way since he came into the room ?
"If looks could kilt" Madge Eor-
ing quoted, as she came up to us.
Then, FYou must learn, my dear Mrs.
Howard, to control your expression.
Didn t the books tell you that?'' then
she laughed a bit malieiously,
thought, and passed on.
'FWhat did she mean by the
books'2" Mr.. Gray asked, just as
George, unnotieed by me, came up to
us.
"What in the world was Madge

I had time to answer Mr. GRAY.

something which sounded very like
swearing. 1 knew at least that [ had

Merton Gray Sympathizes.
'0h, he doesn t like itl'' I ex-
claimed. Then blushed that 1 had
spoken of my husband to another man.
"Come, tell me what is it all about9

matters have been widely published

sures are now being taken to train an

Drive Your Own Car

Many patriotic men Of wealth, dis
liking in this crisis to see able bodied
men doing nothing to help the govern
ment, have dismissed their chauffeurs
and are driving their own automobiles
The chauffeurs have no trouble find
ing employment, and many of them
have been drafted anyway
There are some men who have been
successful in everything else in life
they ever undertook, who are too ner-
vous to drive cars. AS soon as they
see car coming, they get panicky
for fear they will collide.
Elderly men or those having bad
eyesight or other defects may not be
able to take the wheel. Others might
well let their drivers go so that they
could serve the government in some
helpful way. A great many people
who thought they could never learn
to drive an automobile with any com
fort, have learned to enjoy it very
much.
