CROSSING

eusses Matter; Tour
lists Here Fair Week
Considered

Two plans for making the cross
ing over the Southern Pacific
tracks north of the fair grounds
on the Pacific highway were pre-
sentcd in report Of the civic COM
mittee OF the Salem Commercial
club last night at meeting OF the
open forum.
The report Of the committee was
unanimously adopted and ]. W..
Chambers, president of the club,
stated that at the next meeting OF
the board OF directors it would be
brought up for further considera-
and a special meeting might be
called later Of the club membe IS
to consider the matter still fur
ther.
Viaduct First Plan.
The report, signed by Fred A.,
Erixon and w. e. Wilson reads:
sWe, your committee appointed
to open Capitol street and look in
to the need of other public improv-
ments In North Salem, have con-
cluded that a viaduct should be
built under the Southern Pacific
tracks near the Fair Ground store,
30 as to do away with the grade
crossings on the Pacific highway
and the Silverton road.
There are two more plans up
for consideration: First, run the
Pacific highway up on the east
side OF the Southern Pacific tracks
and merge with Silverton road,
then go over the railroad tracks,
using reinforced concrete via
duct, with a sidewalk on both
sides of roadway for pedestrians.
Second: Construct steel via
duct where the Pacific highway
now crosses the Southern Pacific
tracks, north of Fair Ground store
and leave the Silverton road as it
Is.
',You committee does not make
lny recommendation at this time
As to which plan should be follow
ed, as we look upon it as a matter
OF great Importance and should be
very carefully considered from all
angles by all parties concerned.
1--WE have consulted with the
state highway department, and it
is now making surveys, drawing
sketches and making estimates of
costs covering this improvement.
1--WE have been advised by the
department, that 1t will have the
necessary data ready in week or

SAYS TRY YEAST
 + RUNDOWN
Now Specially Prepared in Convenient Tablet Form. Why Hearty Eaters Are Often Thin and Anaemic.

Even big eaters are under -nourished, emaciated and run n-down--because the modern diet of meat, vegetables, pre- pared foods, etc.. is almost entirely lacking in the essential element of all foeds-vitamines. the one element that is needed to make us strong, active and full of energy. And now Science has learned that common yeast contains millions of vitamines. A little yeast taken before any meal completes the diet. makes children grow more sturdy, causes signs of old age to diminish, and builds up exhausted, run down systems. II is also well l-known that yeast vitamines are splendid remedy for boils skin troubles, pimples, etc.
 These facts have long been proven by experiments in great medical insti- tutions, but the real problem in what form to talkc yeast--has only lately been solved For the common yeast cake intended to be used in raising bread. is merely a makeshift. It con tains only about 20 per cent yeast, the rest being starch and water. And this small percentage of yeast is less satis- factory doctors say. than the liquid brewers yeast.
 Now at last the ideal type of yeast, combined With Iron and other health building ingredients. has been put on the market in convenient, ever fresh tablet form. These tablets, called IRONIZED YEAST, can be purchased of any druggist. They are a specially prepared tonic treatment and supply yeast svitamines in concentra ted strength. They are pleasant to take and will not nauseate. You'll know be- fore finishing the first box that it's doing you good. .IRONIZED YEAST costs but little more by the dose than does the common yeast cake, (only 10 cents day) and is much more effec- tive.

Twain's Plea for Praise

From .The Life of Whitelaw Reid"
 by Royal Cortissoz, Scribners.
 Mark Twain was a not infreQuent contributor to the columns of the New York Tribune and warm friend of Whitelaw Reid's. He was just coming into view as author and lecturer when they first became acquainted, and the humorist's notes often relate to his affairs and his friends careful inter- est in them. q thank you heartily for saving me that gratuitous snub in the Tribune, and shall be glad to choke a slur for you if ever get a chance. I guess this emanated from some hummer who owes me borrowed money and can't forgive the offense. Yours ever. Mark" Again he asks for the announcement of new lecture "it covers my whole acquaintance, kings, humorists, lunatics. idiots and all'-and again it is his "Innocents Abroad" for which he craves help full word. Today" he writes. my new book will be sent to the Tribune and this is to ask you if you won't get your reviewer to praise the bad pas sages and feeble places in it for me. They are the only ones I am worrying about. you know--the meritorious parts can get along themselves of course

Mourning In Celestial Empire

From the Emperor and the Silk God
 dess, by l.. Adams Beck in Asia Mag azine.
 In the ancestral days the Peaceful Jade Emperor sat on the throne in the city of Changan. and he was beloved by heaven God himself being pleased by his intel | lgent virtue
 Now the Dowager Empress, the sec ond widow of his august father, had four years previously become a guest on high, and having clad her in the robes of immortality and laid her head upon the cockcrow pillow in the coffin of pre- cious lacquered woods that he had him. self presented to her on her sixtieth birthday, he betook himself to mourn ing, broke off all family intercourse and retired to his inner courts, daily reading in the classics and abiuring the society of the Hidden Flowers.
 Such filial virtues merit extraordinary blessings.
 Now the affairs of state suffered very greatly by the preoccupation of the Peaceful Jade Emperor, and his ministers knew not how to act. Therefore the high ministers met at the yamen of the high est, the Prince of Lu, to take counsel, and he, learned and pous graduate ot venerable age and countenance. ad- dressed them thus:
 Throughout the empire there is now no government and the moon has pre- saged evil and we endured it, but now the sun has been eclipsed and how dread- full is that! Mourning is commenda ble, but the mean is in all things to be de- sired What then should be our proce- dure?"
 The northern viceroy then spoke thus:
 Let a sacrifice be performed and cups of jade offered. Benefits may thus ac- crue'
 And the eastern viceroy said:
 Let the Prince of Lu commit suicide before the eyes of the son of heaven as a testimony that the black haired peo- pie are almost in revolt-sayng, We have no emperor, for his heart is as- cended on the dragon with his departed parent
 And the western viceroy said:
 Let the literati of the Forest of Pen cils offer suitable example and poetic encouragements that may cheer the i'm perial spirit"
 But the southern viceroy said, laugh ing:
 The son of heaven has forgotten the flowers of the inner chambers. Send of- ficials to the divine empress and ask counsel of her, for very great is the wis dom of a beautiful woman"

William Leslie French, in Leslie's.
 Could you tell from specimens of their handwriting whether John Doe was possessed of greater executive ability than Richard Roe? Of sounder Judgment Of keener skill as a sales man? If you could, 1t would be worth our while from business standpoint. would it not? And particularly worth while if the knowledge thus gained went so far as to help you determine whether the writer was probably hon est or crook. Write application in own handwriting" is not as often A part of the help wanted ad as it once was, but it would be well if the old requirement. were generally restored, even in these days of adding machines and typists. There are good reasons for asking it, other than the wish to see if the applicant can write a good business hand" His writing may prove whether or not he has good business head
 In building commercial organiza- tions, today more than ever before the character and efficiency of personnel are given important consideration. As a towering edifice can stand safely only by reason of reliable materials used in it, so the reputation and finan- cial achievement of business institu- ton depend upon the intellect char acter and skilled effort of the indivi- duals to whom it's management is in- trusted.
 A nail is a small thing; yet it may hold together a beam and cross timber to become mainstay of a building in withstanding stresses upon it. Like wise, handwriting is apparently of small importance, but, because of the intimate connection between the nerve centers and the nerve terminals in the hands and fingers, handwriting has proved positive and reliable guide for the selection of business associates and employees. The script psychologist Is becoming a valuable factor in indus
