New York for the past week or so,
which indicates that the trio have sail
ed for France. The telegram was receiv-
ed at the New York office at 2:30
O'Clock Saturday afternoon and said
goodbye. 1t is taken for granted
that the message signified they were
sailing from New York that afternoon.

tonight at the Commercial club rooms.
Games will begin at 1880. I. Greenbaum

the club, has received a letter from the
Oregon City chess club saying that just
as soon as they can get their team
rounded into shape they will come up
and tackle the local club for the cham
pionship of the valley. They figure it
will take about two months to do this,
and state they will probably be up some
time in March. The contest will result
from the local club s acceptance of the
Fallsarians' challenge made recently.

The good American housewife

ket will mark your snobbishness. The

peal for cooperation to the American
women to help the retail stores comply
with the recent order for discOntinuing
the wrapping of package merchandise |;
so do not protest when your dealer
asks you to carry home your cabbage,
your beets or carrots, your fancy
cracker box or lurid strip can unwrap-
ped. Put your pride in your pocket
dnd your unwrapped parcels in your
basket and trudge home cheerfully
with them. 1t is the fashionl

OLD UNIFORM MUST
BE USED NEXT YEAR
None Made After Present Stocks
of Goods Exhausted.
Further Restrictions Placed Upon Pro.
duction Of Athletic Supplies and
quipment-Tennis and Golf
Are Hard Hit.

The war industries board has put
further restrictions upon production of
athletic supplies and equipment, and
this fact with added taxes coming,
will make any sort of stool" used In
sport next year a precious possession.
Not only have restrictions been placed
upon the production of certain of the
more common sport supplies but in
some cases further manufacture is pro-
hibited after the present stock of ma
terial in hand Is exhausted.
The followers of the various
branches of sport will note with inter-
est that more leeway is allowed in the
matter of the baseball and football out
This is due not to discrimination, but
rather to the fact that greater quan-
titles Of rubber are used in the manu-
facture of the ball used in these games
than in baseball and football. Accord
ing to the latest ruling not more than
40 per cent of the tennis and golf
equipment produced during the last
four months Of 1917 shall be manufac-
tured during the final months of the
present year.
In the uniforms department the reg
ulations specify that no material will
be available after the manufacturer
has used the supplies now In stock.
This will affect football and baseball
r., a for. orootor oytouf than will hQ
the case among the golf and tennis
players. for while special clothing is
considered desirable among many OF
the devotees Of the games, 1t Is not
absolutely necessary. Because of the
greater personal contact in baseball
and football, uniforms with special
padding and armor are not matter
of personal choice, but rather essen
tial as protection against bodily In
juries.
During the past year the price of
new athletic equipment and repairs to
old paraphernalia has mounted in
keeping with all other commodities.
The cost of all material and labor in
volved has increased as the player Of
any game realizes when he takes
tennis racquet to be restrung, golf
club to be repaired or sport shoes to
be resoled! Under the circumstances
the QUILTING of teams next season,
should organized sport play be posi-
BILE, will be an additional tax upon the
management of such teams.

HOW TO FIGHT
SPANISH INFLUENZA
By DIR. L. w. BOWERS.


Avoid crowds, coughs and towards,
but fear neither germs nor Germans!
Keep the system in good order, take
plenty Of exercise in the fresh air and
practice cleanliness. Remember clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels
are protecting armour against disease.
To keep the liver and bowels regular
and to carry away the poisons within,
1t is best to take vegetable pill every
other day, made up of May-apple, aloes,
jalap, and sugar-coated, to be had at
most drug stores, known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. If there is sudden
onset Of what appears like hard cold,
one should go to bed, wrap warm, take
a hot mustard foot-bath and drink copl-
ously Of hot lemonade. If pain develops
In head or back, ask the druggist for
Anuric (anti-uric) tablets. These will
flush the bladder and kidneys and carry
off poisonous germs. To control the
pains and aches take one Anuric tablet
every two hours, with frequent drinks
Of lemonade. The pneumonia appears
in q most treacherous way, when the
influenza victim is apparently recover
ing and anxious to leave his bed. In re-
covering from bad attack Of influenza
or pneumonia the system should be
built up with a good herbal tonic, such
as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry, made without alcohol from the
roots and barks Of American forest
trees, or his Irontic (iron tonic) tablets,
which can be obtained at most drug
stores, or send 10c. to DR.. Plerce's Inva-
lids Hotel. Buffalo, N. Y, for trial
package.

A DOUBTING HEART

Where are the swallows fed?
Frozen and dead
Perchance upon some bleak and stony
shore.
o doubling heart!
Far over purple seas
They wait, in sunny ease,
The balmy southern breeze,
To bring them to their northern homea
once more.
Why must the flowers die?
Prisoned they lie
In the cold tomb, needless of tears OF
rain,
o doubling heart!
They only sleep below
The soft white ermine snow
While winter winds shall blow,
To breathe the smile upon you soon
again.
The sun has hid its rays
These many days;
Will dreary hours never leave the eartnf
o doubling heart!
The stormy clouds on high
Veil the same sunny sky
That soon (for spring is nigh)
Shall wake the summer into golden mirth.
Fair hope is lead, and light
Is quenched in the night,
What sound can break the silence or
despair?
o doubling heart!
The sky is overcast,
Yet stars shall rise at last,
Brighter for darkness past,
And angels silver voices stir the air.

When the timekeeper certified %

wall of woe went up from the bookies.
1t had been conceded that the big geld

had induced the bookmakers to put up
money against the proposition that
Roseben would beat the track record
of 1 20, for the Belmont course, seven
furlongs, around one turn.

GULL The FLOCK

At no time has it been more impor-
tant to Gull the flock carefully than
now. A good hen is returning to Its
owner good profit; poor one. cor
responding greater loss. With the gen.
eral purpose breeds the pullet year is
the most profitable. In fact, 1t Will
take two pounds more feed to produce
a pound of eggs with hens than 1t Will
with pul,eis. No farmer can afford to
keep any hen of the general purpose
type after she has passed through the
second laying season. All females
which have passed the first year OF
laying should be marketed unless they
are to be kept for next years breed
ers. If the farmer cannot tell the age
of his hens, he can avoid future guess
work by putting ring on the legs of
the pullets.
Some features that will help the
farmer distinguish hens that have
been good egg producers have been
noted by the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture. In October
the poor layers will have yellow
shanks a small dull comb, pin bones
close together, and will have COM
pleted Noting. The good layer Will
be in the mott, will have pale or al
most pink shanks, will be ragged in
appearance and, If laying, the pin
bones will be well spread apart. The
good layer, even though in the moE,
will start laying just as soon as the
early molter. The good layer VIII
have soft velvety skin while thai OF
the poor layer will be thick and
coarse.
1t will pay to Gull the flock if the
culling is done right.

origin of the wedding ring is one
which is to the effect that before the

money in Egypt was made in the form
of a ring, usually worn on the finger
as convenient method of carrying
and safe-keeping. The men and wom-
