A NEW EARTH

John, the great seer of Patmos
saw "a new Heaven and a new
earth" Ever since his day the hui
man race has been yearning toward
that new earth, especially. Many
time some portion of earth's peoples
have fondly imagined that they had
attained it, only to be disillusioned
when through the rosy mist of op-
timism the same imperfect old world
emerged.
The latest effort toward a radical
change OF earth and earth's people
is the effort of the Russian Bolshev-
Xxi to attain thereto, mainly by a
reputation Of all earthly obligation
and throwing down Of all responsi-
bilities.
These entry have, it seems, preach
ed an absolute personal liberty as
the ultimate attainment toward per-
fection in this life. OF a life to some
they appear very sketical.

these branches must be increased by
at least 10000. The ordnance de-
partment of the army needs great
numbers of men who are trained as
mechanical engineers, mechanical
and other kinds of craftsmen, chem
lists, metallurgists, and the like.
Literally thousands of Inspectors
are also wanted for the work of pass
ing upon the quality of everything
conceivable in the way of ordnance,
ammunition. and other munitions.
For office work the ordnance depart
ment wants great many statistl-
clans, accountants, experts and as
sistants in business administration,
and clerks trained in special lines,
such as clerks qualified in business
administration, index and catalog
clerks, and clerks qualified in statis-
tics or accounting. The Quartermas.
ter corps of the army is in need OF
several thousand examiners and in
spectors of everything that enters
into the personal and camp equip
ment of the soldier. Passenger and
freight-rate clerks are also wanted
in this branch.
The signal corps of the army is
short of aeronautical mechanical
craftsmen. The navy has an unlim-
tied number of places for craftsmen
of various kinds and for a long list
of technical workers. Practically
all branches of the service are in
need of stenographers, typists, book
keepers, statistical clerks, multi
graph operators, and calculating ma
chine operators.
The United States civil service
commission, whose duty il is to fill
these civilian positions, urges, as n
patriotic duty, that qualified persons
offer their services for this work,
work vital to pushing the war. Good
salaries are offered, and the work
is all in the United States.
With the exception of a few of
the clerical positions. applicants will
not be assembled for written examin-

education, training, and experience,
as shown in their applications, sup
plemented by corroborative evidence.
Representatives of the civil service
commission at the postoffices in all
cities are prepared to furnish defin-
ite information and application
blanks.

OUR OBLIGATION

The speech of Premier Lloyd
George in the British house of COM
mons on the question of the man
power bill now pending, should be
read by every American, and read
carefully. There is much in this
speech to give us serious thought.
Mr.. Lloyd George practically ad-
mits that Great Britain is making
little If any headway toward winning
the war, and that England is nearing
the limit of her resources in men.
The bill proposes to call men of so
and boys of IS. The speaker is care
full to state that not all the older
men will be sent to the front, but
that they are needed to take the place
OF younger men who can participate
in the fighting.
In this emergency, Americas duty
is plain. We can no longer sit back
and wait for the allies to stop the
German hordes. We are as vitally
interested as they, and have as great
stake in the final outcome as any
of the European nations.
Certainly no person of average in
telligence could doubt for a moment
that the fate of America is now in
dlsolubly linked with that of the al
lies. Certainly none can doubt that
an allied defeat would prove a stag
gering blow to American progress and
American prosperity, II not to her
very existence as a free nation.
America must win the war Her
power must be the added force that
shall turn the scale in favor of the
allied cause. To that end all her i'm
mense power must be exerted. Pres
ident Wilson has assured cur allies
that our armies will be rushed to
Europe as fast as it is humanity pos
sible to put them there.
But while our fighting men are
Fastening to the fray, there is also
herculean task for every man, wo-
man, boy and girl who remains at
home. We must work-work and
save. We must feed our troops and
provide them with all the necessaries
of war. And we must practically feed
the allied world. There is no escap.
ing the obligation. The cause is our
own, and the man who shrinks now
must forever bear the brand of the
Stacker and the coward.

"ANOTHER CAUSE FOR HIGH
COST OF LIVING"

Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman, OF
Illinois: Examine your pockets, all
OF you, the change you carry and
your bills, and you will find that now
YOU have nothing but federal reserve
notes to transact business on round
Washington and up and down the
coast. We have Already quote
from memory-about one billion
seven hundred and some million dol
lars of federal reserve notes. If we
add to that potential $5,OO0,OOO,-
900 additional of federal reserve
notes, or going to the full limit of
$500, 100000 of federal reserve
notes alone, and still it is said that
we are not travelling on gallop
along the road to initiation. We are
not merely travelling there, we have
reached the neighborhood now.
When the amount of securities
IS increased still further, when more
bond issues come along and there
are more Liberty loans, credit will
he still further expanded. To keep
pace with the expansion of credit
there must be an expansion of the
money in circulation. l have some
of the figures as to circulation that
are given here by the treasury re-
ports. In 1914 there was per head
in the United States $S4.S5 Of money
in circulation; and on the 1st of
January, 1918, there was $4S.76 per
head in circulation; in other words,
we are travelling very rapidly in in
creasing the money in circulation in
this country. That increase in cir
culation is one Of the reasons for
the prices that are disturbing great
many gentlemen at this time.

TURN TO SEA FOOD,
SAYS DIR. TORREY

ut is clear that with the present
food situation we must turn to the
sea more and more for our food,
said DR.. H. B. Torrey, professor of
biology at Reed college, Tuesday
night before the University of Ore
gon Science club, in his talk on "The
Conservation and Utilization of Our
Fish Resources"
"The North sea as a result Of this
war is getting rest, which is good
thing because 1t was almost fished
out. The halibut catch on this coast
is decreasing and the cod supply Is
also suffering, while the chinook sal
mon would have long ago been ex-
tinct If it were not for the hatcheries
and laws"
An increase in the varieties of fish
eaten by the people would help solve
the problem, he pointed out. because
now, out of the 400 or 500 species
of fish in the waters, only 40 or so
kinds are used, while 100 or 200
might be used. Many of these scrap
fish could be utilized, for their food
value is high, and though their pal
atableness is not so good, much of
that can be remedied by giving the
fish with Objectionable names new
names and the proper preparation In
cooking. The municipal market in
Portland can get scrap fish, which,
by the way, are all kinds of fish ex-
cept salmon and halibut, for the cost
Of transportation, about 7 or cents
per pound, while salmon, the finest
fish in the world, costs the consumer
30 cents per pound, according to DR..
Torrey.

USE MORE POTATOES
SOME GOOD RECIPES

Potato Soup.-Two cups hot riced
or mashed potatoes; l quart milk; .
slices onion; tablespoons butter; 2
tablespoons flour (rice or corn flour;
" teaspoons salt, celery salt; pep
per, cayene; l tablespoon chopped
parsley.
Scald the milk with the onion;
remove the onion; add the milk slow
iy to, the potatoes. Melt the butter;
add to it the dry ingredients; stir
the milk slowly to well blended, and
add to the liquid mixture, stirring
constantly. Boil the soup for one
minute. Strain 1t if necessary add
parsley and seve. Water saved from
cooking celery is good addition to
potato soup, Two cups of tomato
Juice and 1-16 teaspoon of soda may
be substituted for two cups of milk.
Baked Potatoes-Select potatoes
of uniform size, scrub them with a
vegetable brush, and bake them for
As minutes or until they are tender
all through when tested with fork.
If they are overlooked they will be
soggy rather than mealy. Crack the
skin, or pierce it as soon as the
potatoes are done, to let out the
steam and prevent sogginess. II po-
tatoes are rubbed in olive or corn oil
tefore being put in the oven this
will prevent dryness of the skins.
and they will be more mealy If taken
out ten minutes or so before they
are done, and squeezed in the hand
after wrapping them in a towel.
Boiled Potatoes-Select potatoes
of uniform size, scrub them with a
vegetables brush, and drop them into
boiling salted water. Cook them with
the cover of the kettle ajar until
they are tender, about 20 or 30 min
utes. Drain off the water immediate
ly. Slip off the skins with a sharp
knife. If the potatoes are not to
be served Immediately, cover them
with a cloth which will absorb the
moisture and place them where they
will keep warm. Overlooking and
standing in water makes a soggy,
unpalatable potato.

feated itself, in that they failed to
perceive that there can be no such
thing as absolute personal liberty
without degenerating into anarchy.
That was the inevitable and logical
effect in Russia, and 1t will be the
same with any other nation which
undertakes to put personal freedom
and license ahead of the interests of
humanity in the large.
Whether or not stable govern
ment will emerge from the chaos into

for all free peoples, lesson that

that man may have entirely too much

MEAT CAUSE

Meat forms uric acid.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paraHzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel 1t
from the blood. They become slug
gish and weaken. then you suffer with
dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick head
ache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges
The urine gets cloudy full of sedi-
ment. the channels often get sore and
irritated, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night
To neutralize these irritating acids
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy
here; take q tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast tor a few
days and your kidneys will then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia. and has been
used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys. also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.

SAILING DAY SUCCESS
New Freight Service Plan Saves One
Third of Car Space.

The sailing day" freight service
plan of the federal railroad admin
istration has met with success, officials
here say. and in the five Kansas rail-
way division points where it is now
in operation a saving of one-third in
freight car utility has been effected.
Service has not been hampered by
the change.
The Sailing day" plan applies only
to less than car shipments. Instead
of daily freight service to all points,
shipments are made to given points
only on certain days. A minimum SER
vice of two days a week is offered.
Daily service is maintained where the
volume of shipping warrants.
Competition between railroads hav-
ing been eliminated, the freight is
routed by the line offering the most
economical route. The cars are load
ed for thru routing, eliminating a great
deal of transferring.
Hale Holden of Chicago. regional d.
rector of the central district, is direct
ing the efforts of a committee on
less than car lot shipments, which will
install the sailing day" plan generally
turnout the central states.
Sailing day" originated in the east
ern states. 1t was so named because
of the similarity between the plan and
that used by steamship lines in start
ing vessels for given points only on
certain days of the week.
