QUOTA NOT REACHED
IN SKILLED WORKERS

Cmatilla county has failed to make
her quota in the registration Of skill
ed workers in the United States Ship
yard Volunteers. The quota Of this
county was fixed at 95 and so far only
so registrations have been reported,
although ten counties of the state
have gone over the top.
Oregons quota was 320i and to
date 32GS skilled workers have reg
istcred. The campaign for listing the
skilled artisans of this county has
been carried on through four-minutc
speakers and publicity for the past
two weeks hut those familiar with the
situation declare that the failure to
reach the quota is not due to slack
ing hut to the relatively few skilled
laborers in this county. The indus
tries of this county are not such as
develop skilled artisans such as are
needed in the shipyards and many
70 the carpenters have already gone
to the shipyards or have registered.

INSANITY ON INCREASE.
STATE BOARD REPORTS

ALBANY. Feb. 26.s-The state hos
pitfalls for the insane are crowded with
one-fifth more patients than they
were built TO hold, and the rate of in
sanity is rising. seemingly. states the
annual report for 1917 of the state
hospital commission, to be submitted
to the legislature tomorrow.
The commissioners express the be-
lief that nearly one-half of all cases
of insanity are preventable. and urge
five measures to reduce the number OF
cases of mental disease:
Checking the excessive use OF aleo-
holic liquors checking the ravages OF
veneraI diseases, teaching mental ny
treme poverty and extending the out
patient department of the state hos
pitals with more free clinics for men
tai and nervous disorders. and field
agents to look after incipient and
convalescent cases. ..-... -Hs
The thirteen state hospitals hold
$1,000 patients; 9.4O7 persons were
admitted during 1917, of whom $3.50
were new cases and 2,06T were read
mitted 91.9 per cent pf the patients
were supported entirely by the state
which expended SS.3S2,6t6 on their
care. The annual per capita cost was
kept down To $2l9.16. hut this was an
increase of SS.9l over the per capita
cost two years ago.

ONE STUDENT WILL
MANAGE ATHLETICS
OF P. H. S. HEREAFTER
PROVIDING SAME
Is ADDED TO STUDENT BODY
CONSTITUTION.

At a student meeting held at the
high school yesterday afternoon, an
amendment was added to the student
body constitution which provides for
one student manager for all athletics.
There We're only two votes against this
amendment.
In the past the plan of one manager
for each branch Of athletics has not
given entire satisfaction. The mana
ger was generally Il student playing
on the team he managed, hence he did
not haye much time left in which to
schedule games or attend to his work.
Under the present system, however,
the manager will be a student who
will not get out for athletics, and
therefore can devote a good part of his
spare time to his work.
a new system of ticket selling for
the basketball game with Baker high
school Friday night, was suggested by
Captain Jones and adopted by the
students. Each student is compelled
to take two tickets and is asked to do
his best to sell them. If each stu
dent will get rid of these tickets Mr..
Jones feels that more interest will be
shown in the support Of this or future
games.

WASH THE KIDNEYS!

All the blood in the body passes thru
the kidneys every few minutes. This is
why the kidneys play such an important
role in health or disease. BY some mis-
terious process the kidney selects what
ought to come out of the blood and
takes it out. If the kidneys are not
good workmen and become congested-
pOisons accumulate and we suffer from
backache, headache, lumbago, rheu-
mntism or gout. The urine is often
cloudy, full OF sediment; channels often
get sore and sleep is disturbed at night;
So it is that DR.. Pierce, of the lnvali IS
Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo
N. ", advises oWashing the Kidneys"
by drinking six to eight glasses OF water
between meals and then II you want
to take a harmless medicine that will
clear the channels and cure the annoy
ing symptoms, go to your nearest drug
gist and obtain Anuric double strength),

DR.. Pierce that "Anuric" is9a most
powerful agent in dissolving uric acid,
as hot water melts sugar. "Anuric" is
regular ipsurance and liic-saver ior all.
