OF
ALL LUNCHES ASKED

County Food Administrator Gibson
has written to all fraternal Organiza-
tions and other organizations of the
county asking that all superfluous
lunches be discontinued. His letter
follows:
AT this time Of stress and crisis in
the life of our national government
the closest affiliation Of - organiZa-
tons is urgently needed
''Fraternal organizations are in a
position to add energy to governmental
agencies and forces. Will you kindly
bring before your order the question of
eliminating all lunches and suppers
except those served during a regular
meal time and taking the place of a
regular meal during the period of the
war? Will you please ask your MEM
bers to discuss this and act on it as
seems best May | suggest that there
are two objections TO these lunches and
suppers- they result in an unnecess 0y
consumption of food and they break
down saving practices in the home.
There is shortage of food. In
the face of this fact we have some
hundreds of thousands of our own boys
to feed and half the world is starving.
Any consideration of this suggestion
will be gratefully appreciated.
I'm the service of God and the in
terests of humanity,
Sincerely yours,
Il. b. Gibson.

HAVE YOU A BAD BACK
If You Have, the Statement of This
Hood River Resident Will
Interest You

Does your back ache, night and day;
Hinder work destroy your rest?
Does it stab you through and through
When you stoop or lift or bend?
Then your kidneys may be weak.
Often backache is the clue
Just to give YOU further proof
The kidney action may be wrong,
II attention is not paid
More distress will soon appear
Headaches, dizzy spells and nerves,
Uric acid and its ills
Make the burden worse and worse.
Liniments and plasters can't
Reach the inward cause at all
Help the kldneys-use the pills
Hood River folks have tried and proved.
What they say you can believe.

My back ached over my kidneys all the

Doan's Kidney Pills soon relieved the
awful pains in my back and my kidneys
acted more regularly. Four boxes of
Dosn's cured me and since then | have
been free from kidney trouble"
Mrs. Snyder is only one of many Hood

dorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your

NEW FISH LADDER
NEARS COMPLETION

W. 0. Hadley, of The Dalles, deputy
state game and fish warden, was here
last week inspecting the new fish lad
der that is being constructed by the
Pacific Power & Light Co. over dam
on Hood river just south of the city.
The new structure, which is nearing
completion, will replace ladder
washed out by December freshets. Mr..
Hadley says that the new ladder, which
will cost approximately $500, will
withstand floods. 1t is located on the
west side of the river, protected by
cribbing, whereas the old ladder was
on the east side. A permanent fish
ladder will soon be constructed by the
Oregon Lumber Co. at Dee under the
supervision of the State Game and Fish
Commission.

Ranchers Like Eight Hour Law

The new eight-hour rule that went
into effect at the Dee plant of the Ore
gon Lumber Co. last week. following
the conference between Col. Disque
and northwestern loggers, is pleasing
TO the ranchers of the Dee section, who
work at the mill. Numerous owners of
Dee Flat orchards have paid for their
places and their development by work
in the lumber mill. The orchardist-
mill workers declare that the new rul-
ing will permit them to devote several
hours day to their farm work.
The Dee mill, now operating under
government orders, has perhaps been
freer from I. W. W. influences than
any other in the northwest.

Tea Drinking a vIce2

A foreign critic says: "ln hunting
a cause for this apparent decadence
of the once mighty people (the Brit
ish), some scientists have had much
to say on the subject of tea drinking,
for nowhere else is the habit SO uni
versal as In the British Isles Wom-
en- and children drink tea Off and on
during the day. business men have
to stop their work at intervals to
partake of their tea. And In most In
stances the brew Is exceptionally
strong. It has been estimated that
each person In Great Britain, on an
average, takes a daily dose OF $50
grains OF alkaloid and 81 grains OF
tannin consumed In tea. This means
that the average tea drinker takes
half as much alkaloid and nearly as
much tannin as the Maximum allowed
by the British pharmacopoeia for an
occasional dose. And, of course,
many thousands Of people drink a
great deal more than the average
Dose"
