putting my fingers on it AS the spanish Influenza Is very serious In this part of the country at the pres ent time, what would you recom mend to prevent a person from talk ing it, and also what would be the best treatment to take should per son take it, as we have escaped it so far.
 Answer-It Is always gratifying to have the readers of these columns tell us about the results of their experience, when they adopt the H. H. c. method of living, and of apply ing specific course Of diet and ex- ercise to correct abnormal condi- tions. In several cases of goiter there has been a slight thickening of the gland that could be felt with the fingers, remaining after the visible enlargement has disappeared. For this thickening our good old friend Dr. Davis recommends the following simple treatment:-Make a brine of salt and water strong enough to hold up a fresh egg. Saturate flannel cloth in the solution, and bind it over the goiter, covering with a thick dry flannel; leave 1t on over night Re- peat each night for a week or 10 days and the cure Is finished

declares n fashion writer. 1t is the
coat this season.
Such attention as has been shown
to morning and afternoon dresses In
Paris would be hard to equal, and In
stead Of their having declined In pOpu-
larffy after several seasons Of atten-
ti0n, quite the contrary has happened.
They are more in the lImelight than
ever A
In spite OF the fact that there is so
little conspicuous change In the line
of the gowns, 1t Is upon these "little
dresses" that some of the most artis-
tic touches have been lavished. The
inconspicuouS, unc ssuming gown for
morning or for afternoon can have
about 1t much genuine feeling. At
each Of the couturiers the same story
IL true: each one has outdone him
self In presenting new reasons for the
continued life Of this popular gar
ment.
Materials have for their leader one

it-blue serge. Then there are all Of

rIcs. For afternoon there are char
m~use. OF which there are great
many models to he seen, taffeta, and
velvet which has lost none Of Its
vogue. There was nothing smarter
then than 4 black velvet gown and
there II nothing smarter now.
The trimmings and touches on these
dresses for daylight wear are fasci-
mating In their variety. 1t is not ~
much the thing that Is done as the
way 1t II done. When one sees the
clever little Tits of handmade braid
and the inserts Of bead work, the fac
ings and tine edgings. one wonders
how there can grow so many new
ideas In the course Of single season.
but there they nre. to be copied In
terIninably by less ingenious AmerI-
cans.
Not 30 much hand work IL to bc
seen about these dresses as was the
case In former seasons. The little
girls who used to do this work have
learned by their connection with ths
wartime munltion factories that =

to attain by doing embroidery. 3"

ROTTEN LUCK AND BAD

Galveston. Texas, July 25.-When n
certain steamship docked here the 9th
er day, man leaned over the rail and

He was looking for customers" He
selected large man of florid counten'
ance.
Like to buy-er-er a bottle?" he
asked the red.nosed man.
"Sure. How much?"
Eight dollars"
The money paid, the bottle delivered,
the vendor was turning away when
the rednosed man stopped him.

said. "I'm the deputy United States

Airplanes Find Forest Fires.

Reports to the forest service, United
States department of agriculture, from
the national forests in California, where
army aviators are making daily flights
in search of forest fires, indicate that the
innovation has been decidedly success
full and that air patrols of the forests
will prove so valuable that they will
eventually become a permanent part of
the work to shield the great woodlands
from conflagrations. Numerous fires
have been discovered in their early
stages by the aviators and have been
reported Immediately to the forest ran
gers. 1t is believed that considerable
loss has been prevented by such early
discovery. Lack of suitable landing
places in this rugged country has proved
a handicap in some instances and has
caused a belief in some quarters that
dirgible balloons will finally be found
more suitable than airplanes for forest
flying.

Al THOUGH MISTAKEN
FOR MINISTER OFFICER
DECLINES THE HONOR

Eugene Cook, genial, accommodating
and trustworthy member of the Ard
more police force. is authority for the
statement that during his varied and
checkered career as a conserVator Of
the peace, he has been mistaken for
every kind, manner and sort of man, ex-
cept a meek and lowly minister Of the
gospel
Strangers have noted his debonair
manner and, overlooking his "coat of
blue" have addressed him in the lam
guage of the oil fields; other wayfarers,
noting his steady hand and level eyes
since he has become a member of the
plainclotheS squad, have approached
him with the grips and countersigns
of the Knights of the Green-top Table;
still others have come to him for legal
advice and. believing that, he must be
be well learned in the law, addressed
him as Judge"
But never no never, he AYERS. was
he approached as, and mistaken for
a leader of sn-repentant souls. That
is, never until Tuesday.
And it came about through case of
mistaken identity, manifested when the
officer failed to properly identify
church to which he had been summoned,
by phone, in his official capacity.
Early Tuesday morning Officer Cook
was called, by phone, and asked to
come to n church where a wedding
would be consummated at a certain
hour.
But" he stammered, "I haven't my
dress suit with me and cannot attend,
therefore. as a wedding guest
Then it was that he was told his
presence was desired in a purely of
ficial capacity and that, as the crowd
would be rather large, many autos
would be parked near the church which,
unless guarded by a minion of the law,
might fall preys to the wiles of some
smooth gasoline-wagon purloiner.
Thus far according to information
obtained at police headquarters, all
went well. But after that the officer
got his wires crossed and wended his
meek and lowly way to the wrong ed
ifice of worship, arriving at the Broad
way Methodist church in place of the
sanctuary to which he had been called.
Entering the church he espied a hes
itating young man and a blushing
young woman sitting we'll up in front
almost beneath the chancel rail-
"Is this the place where a wedding
bout is to be pulled Off" asked the |
officer.
1T is" replied the young man, add |
ing. We've been waiting for you
some time, Parson, to show up and
speak the gladsome words which will |

MAY BUY
u. :. MEAT AND VEGETABLES

Washington, ID. C.AThe war depart
ment has fixed the prices at which
large surplus stocks of canned and
cured meats and canned vegetables
will be offered to municipalities in all
parts of the country to be resold at

ton attached to the war departments
offer is that the municipality shall
sell to the public at cost. The stocks
include corn, baked beans, stringless
beans and tomatoes; corped beef, roast

As further convenience to the pub
lie the war department will permit the

after actual delivery Of the goods to
the municipalities. No return of un'

remainder Of our natural lives. Get
busy, Parson, prOnto."
After the doughty officer had re-
covered from his fainting spasm, he
informed the couple that he was just
poor plain clothes member of the city
police force and not disciple of the
NaZarene.
And then, as good Samaritan
should, he called up Rev. r. l.. L. Nor
gan, of the church, and told him of
the couple who awaited his coming so
impatiently.
And the minister, not to be outdone
in kindness, advised the officer that the
wedding bells which had summoned
him, were ringing at the Presbyterian
church.

LONE CROVE-NEWPORT
ROAD BE|N { RUSHED
To EARLY COMPLETION

obstruction work on the hard.sur-
faced highway between Lone Grove
and Newport is being pushed as rapidly
as Contractor Cleve Sampley's men can
drive their teams, and unless some un.
foreseen adverse contingency inter.
venes. the job will be finished and
turned over to the county by the first
of September.
Under the terms of the contract, Mr.
Sampley was called upon to top.dress
with gravel n stretch of the Ardmore-
Lone Grove highway for approximately
1000 feet. This work was finished
Wednesday and the teams and trucks
at once began graveling the road from
the Grove north, toward Newport.
All earthwork upon this road has been
practically completed for half the dis.
tance between Lone Grove and New
port, and with the force of men and
teams now employed, it will require
II comparatively short time to finish
the preliminary steps for the gravel
ing.
All work is done under the super
vision of Mr. Sampley and the state
and county engineers, and when fin.
ished will be as near perfect as is pos
sibe to make a hardsurfaced road.
The gravel used for top.surfacing is
of fine quality and will lay where
placed, as it contains the necessary
binder to make permanent highway.
The only handicap the contractor is
laboring under is the long haul neces
sary to get it on the road. as the gravel
pit is located nearly five miles from
the highway.
Mr.. Sampley has rs teams and trucks
at work on the job with necessary men
to handle them,and he says he will
keep things moving until the contract
is finished.

IDOLS ARE REMOVED FROM
NEW YORF'S CHINATOWN

New York, July 24.-The transform
ing of Chinatown that has been in
progress for decade has finally thrust
its Americani2ing influences into the
Chinese temple in Mott street, with the
result that the joss and lesser idols
have been relegated to dusty closet.
A Christian clergyman, the Rev. Lee
To, head of the Chinese association
which now holds sway in the temple,
is responsible for the removal of the
idols, which is significant of the pres

the old traditions.
