HOME TOWN PALS
 OF KEN WILLIAMS
 PULL FOR HIS LEAD

Grants Pass. Ore. Oct 2,-Home town pals of Ken Williams here went to sec him continue to c1out home runs for the St. Louis Browns and take the lead among the four-base hftters of the major leagues.
 Everyone in Grants Pass knows Ken Williams as t'Dinky'' Williams, for it was here that he attended school and later played on the city ball team, where he made record as a home run hitter. His parents, MT. and Mrs. F. A. Wi11ian live here and it is to Grants Pass that Ken comes in the winter to spend his idle months fishing
 Old timers say that during one close game, when Ken played on the Grants Pass team, his father became So excited that he fainted when young Williams put the ball over the fence for a home run
 The Chamber of Commerce has sent Williams the following telegram:
 We are surely proud of the show ing you are making. Grants Pass is pulling for you to the last man. Keep up the good work and hit 'em hard The Grant Pass ball club has brought home the bacon this year and we ex- pect you to do the same. Hurry home as soon as possible. The steel heads are biting.''

THE PAsrEUR TREATMENT.

The definition of hydrophobia given in Rosenau is as follows: Rabies is an acute, specific, rapidly fatal para lytic infection, communicated from a rabid animal through a wound usually produced through biting.
 Men contract the disease from some lower animal, usually the dog. The specific principal is contained in the saliva and the nervous system of animals suffering with the disease. The infection, therefore, may be con- veyed by licking, provided there are open wounds in the skin.
 Rabies exists practically all over the world It had ~een eradicated from England on account of their muzzling and quarantine laws, but during the World War it was re-in- troduced by dogs that were carried in flying machines and so escaped the quarantine laws. Germany also had eradicated hydrophobia by it's muzzl- ing laws. In 1919, 45 deaths from rabies were reported in the United States.
 Rabies is commonly supposed to be prevalent during the summer months but Rosenau states it is more prevail ent in cold weather.
 After being bitten by a rabid dog, it takes a certain period for the virus to travel along the nerves to the cen traI nervous system and multiply suf- ficiently to produce it's poison effects This period varies from IA days to year or more. (In. the case of this long period the disease is probably latent-arrested but still alive.) The average period in man is 40 days Git is apt to be shorter in children). Dogs 21 to 40 days.
 The period of incubation depends upon the amount and the Virulence of the virus and upon the position and size of the wound. The nearer it is to the brain and spinal cord, the shorter the time. It has been proved that the bite of a dog is infective three days before the dog himself may man ifest the disease. so a dog bite should be cauterized by nitric acid and other precautions taken, as I told you last week, and the dog locked up and watched to see if he develops the disease then the bitten individual should immediately take the Pasteur treatment.
 The Pasteur treatment has been proved to be an almost invariable pre-

BLEACH FOR DELICATE SKINS. It is always difficult to find good bleach for a really sensitive skin Everything affects the delicate com pIexion apparently to it's detriment- Its delicacy is both a charm and a nuisance.
 Sun and wind affect the skin easily and the ordinary bleach is only an irritant It is easy to find a mild cream, but the action of even the best cucumber cream is sometimes very slow. I know of no bleach as effect i've for this sort Of complexion as starch.
 mean by this the ordinary white laundry starch that comes into every household in a paper packet or s plain cardboard box, the cost of which is never more than a few cents a pound. A little bit, about 6 table spoonful, should be melted in enough cold water to form a thin paste. The face should be washed with warm water so the pores are free from dirt then a thick coating of the paste should be spread over the skin. It may be necessary to go over it two or three times in order to get fairly thick coat. This should be left on half an hour The starch is fairly drying so if the complexion is naturally too dry, after it is washed off a little cold cream should be rubbed on I frequently advise this starch treatment without the cold cream for oily com p1exions and enlarged nose pores
