In giving his address to the grad

at the Mcmillan Auditorium Friday
afternoon Wallace Fry urged them to
continue their education, saying that
it was an ESSENTIAL part Of success.
He impressed them with the fact
that their schooling must not in any
sense be considered complete and that
four years. more work should be
taken as the very minimum to be
added.
He said that the business me and
all public spirited individuals in the
community were interested in their
welfare and their continuance in
school, not merely because Of what it
meant for better citizenship, but for
the increased benefits that they them
selves would derive from it.

the air in the room free from dust be-
fore vanishing. Also, if possible,
have the temperature of the room 20
degrees Fahrenheit or higher, and
apply the varnish il the morning, be-
cause it dries better in the daylight.
Brush the varnish in thin coat with
even strokes parallel with the grain
of the wood. Allow the floor to dry
for at least two days and apply one or
perhaps two more coats in the same
way.
Painted Floors Easy to Clean.
Good quality paint of neutral color
also makes good finish for softwood
floors. At least two coats should be
applied. After the last coat of paint is
dry, a soft lustrous finish can be
given with equal parts of Einseed oil
and turpentine. Rub this on with 9
soft cloth, and polish the floor with
a wooden cloth.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
Or. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

what can | do with these dingy
old floors? Until this year they've
been carpeted, but / know that the
house would be more sanitary and
easier to clean with finished floors and
rugs that could be taken out of doors
every week. I'd like to get the floors
fixed while the boys are home from
school to help, but | don't know how
to start"
This probleR is perplexing many
housekeepers who want their homes to
look we'll and at the same time to
make house cleaning easier.
Dull Neutral Color Is Best.
The most durable and attractive
finish for a floor depends ON the kind
of wood and how it has been treated,
says the United States Department of
Agriculture. Unfinished pine, spruce,
or other softwood floors can be var
nished, stained and vanished, or
painted, depending somewhat on the
condition of the wood and the rest
of the woodwork in the house. What
ever finish is chosen, dull neutral
color that tones in with walls and fur
nishing is best.
First of all, make the floor as level
and smooth as possible. Plane or
sandpaper rough places, and draw out
all remnants OF tacks or drive them be-
low the surface with a nail set.
Then scrub the wood with hot soap
suds or securing powder, and rinse
thoroughly with clear water. Ink
stains and similar spots can often be
bleached out with solution made by
dissolving one teaspoonful of oxalic
acid in one cupful of hot water. This
solution is poisonous and must, of
course, be carefully handled also all
traces of 1t and of soap suds or scour-
ing powder must be removed with
clean water otherwise they will in
jure the finish used on the floor.
Homemade Stain for Floors.
When the wood is perfectly dry the
stain, paint or varnish can be APP
piled.
For a pine floor, good brown stain
can be made by dissolving an ounce
of permanganate of potash in quart
Of warm water. This liquid is violet
colored, but when applied to wood,
chemical action results and the wood
Is stained brown.
Another brown stain for either hard
wood or softwood is made from Ia
ounces of pulverized gilsonite dissolved
In quart of thrpentine.
Apply either of these stains with
clean brush or a sponge, taking even

SAND KILLS FOREST TREES
Coos Bay Dunes in Oregon Have Made
Desert of Once Heavily
Wooded Land.

In few places is the destruction OF
forests by sand more impressive than
among the dunes of Coos bay, in south
western Oregon. Approaching the en-
trance of Coos bay, one sees to the
south a succession of bold headlands
covered by forest of fir and spruce,
and to the north miles of rolling sand
dunes stretching inland like desert,
with patches of willow and beech
plants here and there, and in the dis
lance clumps of trees and even large
areas of forests making last stand
against the encroaching dunes.
The destruction of the forests there
by sitting sands seem oil the more
remarkable when one considers that
the region is excessively humid. One
observer reports that in August and
September, when he was there, not
one day in five was it dry enough and
the wind right and strong enough to
move the sand. When a dry day
comes. however, and the wind is
strong from the west, the sand flows

less than an hour.
The sand laden wind makes curious
etchings on sticks and timber and
eventually wears away all the wood ex-
oept the knots. The forests consist
mainly of Douglas fir, Sitka spruce,
Port Oxford cedar and western red
cedar within the area of the dunes and
exist now only in patches, almost al
ways in depressions, the former level
of the ground As the wind builds up
the advancing crests of the dunes, it
often hollows behind them and exposes
the skeletons of a dead forest. When
the hollows are large, green. grassy
