'Chautauqua Program
Better Than Ever This Year

The Ellison-White Chautauqua to be
held in Salem July 2l-27, will in many
respects be the best entertainment ev-
er given in the chautauqua line, ac.
cording to Dr. H. G. Bpley, president
of the Salem Chautauqua association.
Although the program for each day
has not as yet been sent to the asso-
citation here, j. H. Ellison gives the as
suranee that already the chautauqua
to be given Salem is doing a bigger
business in the first Al towns it has
visited than was done year ago.
In regard to the entertainers for this
year, Mr.. Ellison writes as follows:
"The program for this year is by
far the best we have ever had So
much ahead of last year that there is
no comparison, This is not hot air--it
is an actual fact. Town after town
says that we have never done any
thing like it. The band is by far the
greatest and best the chautauquas
have ever had and one of the best that
has been in the west. You understand
Of course, that it opened and closed the

YOUR HEALTH
Pruritus.
By ANDREW F. CURRIER, MD.

This annoying and very preva-
lent condition of itching, known
technically as prNritnS may exist
by itself, without rash or eruption
or it may be form of eczema, or
a symptom of a great number Of
diseases.
II involves not only a limited
area of skin surface but may en-
brace the surface of the entire
body.
1t consists in disturbance or ir-
ritation of the nerve endings every
where present in the skin, and
when they are in trouble oyer
only limited area 1t probably
means that the exciting cause is
not sufficiently intense to produce
more general disturbance.
The condition is especially COM
mon in areas which are soiled by
the natural discharges of the body,
also on the outer surface of the
arms, the inner surface of the
thighs, the calves Of the legs, and
the surface of the abdomen.
1t is particularly common in the
aged, in women rather than in
men, is worse at night when the
body is warmly covered in bed, and
in cold weather rather than in
warm.
Few people can resist the temp
tation to rub and scratch the skin
in the presence Of intolerable itch
ing, but such scratching may do
great harm, particularly when pois.
onous germs are transferred from
the fingernails to the skin.
The Inflammation and disease
produced in this way may be very
much worse than the original con-
dition.
The cold weather variety of this
disease often begins in the autumn.

and may be repeated year after

SOVIET GOVT
 AWARE DANGER
 FROM GERMANY

MOSCOW, May 29.--That Russia is aware of the menace to that coun- try by German imperialism is as serted in today's issue of the Iz. vesnia. This paper is the official organ of the Bolsheviki. In it's edi- torial the paper says further that no assistance is desired by the Rus sian government from the allied countries that would result in the re-entrance of Russia into the war.
 It is said that the leaders of the Bolsheviki are fully awake to the dangers that are threatened from Germany, but that it is their inten- tion to deal with the situation in their own way. It is feared by the Russian government that should aid be offered by any of the allied coun, tries, the acceptance of such help might draw Russia back into the conflict it is desired to be free from. It is intimated, however, that if the allies wish to help the new republic in manner which would have no strings on it, such help might be welcome.
