From the time a girl reaches the
age of twelve until womanhood is es-
tablished, she needs all the care q
thoughtful mother can give.
The condition that the girl Is then
passing throughis 20 vertical, and may
have such f~ar-reaching effects upon
her future happiness and health, that
&c is almost criminal for q mother or
guardian to withhold counsel or ad-
vice.
Many a woman has suffered years
of prolongedpain and misery through
having been the victim of thought
lessness or ignorance on the part of
those who should have guided her
through the dangers and difficulties
that beset this period.
Mothers should teach their girls
what danger comes from standing
around with cold or wet feet, from
lifting heavy articles, and from over
working. Do not let them over-study.
If they complain Of headache, pains
in the back and lower limbs, they
need q mothers thoughtful care and
sympathy.

GRAND JURORS SEEK TO
HAVE CHANGES REALIZED.

A plea that changes be made in the
operation of the county hospital ana
farm so that it can ba hnmlnized ana
operated more ccCnonically is made in
the following n!cution signed
by six members of the recent grand
jury;
To the Cjt'zena Of UmatilIa County:
! We, the Undersigned members of
the grand jury which held session
September lila whose report on the
conditions of the county hospital and
| farm have been under public discus
! rioi state after consideration of dis
cussions and facts That "" are con-
| WINGED that our report was neither eX-
| aggerated nor unfair.
We consider the present manner of
conducting the hospital a reproach to
an enterpr sing public spirited people.
1t is our conviction that the hospitai
should be run under sanitary regula-
tions and due regard should be given
the health and comfort of the inmates,
and reasonable attention be given
| their pleasure. BY the last statement
we mean that there should be some
lhumanizing influences in the conduct
| of the hospital in the way of books,
magazines, papers, pictures, and other
inexpensive means of interest and pas
! time.
! We consider the present system or
management expensive and inefficient,
| and we urge upon our officials that
| they give this matter serious consider
alton with view to putting into ef-
feet a system which will be up-to-date
| and accomplish the purposes for
which the hospital is intended. That
! this or some other farm, be operated
on a basis which makes returns in le-
gitimate provision for the upkeep of
the institution with consequent lower
| ing of expense.
Toward these ends. we ask the ac-
tive cooperation of our fellow citizens.

Benson in his letter of resignation,
said of it that it was breaking TO
pieces so badly that it would have TO
be resurfaCcd, if not even regarded.
And there is the La Grande highway,
built by the state, which went to
pieces in gear. and so on and so on.
No wonder that former State Senator
I. N. Day, prominent paving con-
tractor, contributed $1,000 to the big
money slush fund ito beat Pierce.
and that he is one of the chief man
ayers of the Olcott campaign. It
pays contractors to rebuild "perman-
ent highways within three years at an
increase over the original cost.
Is the claim of the Olcott managers
sound Is there no way to stop this
tremendous cost in road building caus-
ed by having to rebuild within three
years or less permanent roads when
the department had built with public
money? What else but waste can be
expected when the management in the
department is so lax that three en-
gineers go on a midwiutcr excursion
to California in a statc-owncd Cadil-
lac with a chauffeur as driver, and,
instead of coming back in the Cadillac
return by passenger train at extra cost
leaving the chauffeur to return alone
in the state-ownedcar? The bill for
this junket was O. K.-ed by Governor
Olcott.
The California junlIet is a mere in
cident. But it has great significance.
1t shows waste. the widest of waste,
in the department. Remembering
this, and remembering the permanent
hard surface roads that had to be re-
built at more than the original cost
within three years, does it not mean
something to you that Oregon is now
carrying more than one-ninth of the
entire road debt of the United States?
Think of it: Oregon, with a popula-
ton of less than SOO,0 900. is CARRYING
more than onc-ninth of the road deb,
borne by the entire As states in the
Union! What else could be expected.
with almost countless automobiles
running wild, with junkets, and with
roads being rebuilt at more than the
original cost. Are the Olcott mama
gers and newspapers right? Can this
.cNtravagance not be stopped?
The gross per capita debt of Oregon
is exceeded by but one other state IN
the Union. South Dakota. The Ore
son debt is $3.50 per capita. OurI
ne ghbor state Washingtons is hur
$9.22. Will-the Olcott managers and
newspapers. who have been pooh
pooling Walter piercc's proposals 20
reduce taxes. explain why Oregon.s
sross per capita debt is so high and
Washington's so low2
