Editor Tidings: I have been read ing all the row and to-do in your col umns about the proposed rest-room In the city hall, and while a plain country woman is usually too busy to peddle her opinions on public topics, It seems to me I may be pardoned this one break into print. I have been a rancher's wife for twenty years, and in that time I have done my marketing in a dozen towns and cities from South Dakota to Ore gon. In not one of them have I ever found a town that made any pretense of providing for the comfort of the out-of-town shopper. And because of that lack of a place to go in town, unless a woman has become well ac quainted, shopping has always been a matter of gritted teeth and grim determination. And I may as well confess that more often than not 1 have bought In town only the bare necessities, and sent to Sears-Roebuck or eastern houses for the bal ance of my year's supplies. To tell the truth, I never felt that I could afford to wear myself out buying ar ticles in town that didn't appreciate the trade, when I could pet the same thing cheaper from the mail-order people. But about the rest-room. I hope for the sake of my sisters in the coun try that such an institution, equipped as completely as possible, becomes a reality. Even I, seasoned old cam paigner of the streets and park benches on shopping day, might re lax and buy a few things in town be fore I realized it. It was a wise mer chant, Marshall Field, I think, who said, "A comfortable body and a rested mind make an easy customer." And even if we have to appeal to the purely commercial instincts of the people in town to get that rest-room, it will be cheap at the price. ANOTER COUNTRY JAKE. Favors a Rest-Room. Editor Tidings: I am an Ashland woman, yet I am In favor of the pro posal to establish a. rest-room In the city hall. I know that this confession renders me liable to a charge of non existence if Mr. Bantaite deigns to favor your paper with further effu sions from his pen. But I am willing to face the charge If by so doing I can add my mite to the sentiments of sincere men and women so far ex pressed. Were I disposed to use the priv ilege of public print as a medium foH the voicing of Ill-natured snarls at the ideas of my fellow-cltlzens, I might achieve quite as sensational a document as Mr. Bantaite has laid before us. But unfortunately I am merely a woman who has lived life, instead of learnedly growling at it. and faced conditions pleasant and otherwise sometimes decidedly oth erwise instead of setting bnck and Inveighing against sincere efforts to ward Improvement. Moreover, I believe that In such a case as the one at Issue, I have a trifle the advantage over Mr. Banta ite. That gentleman Is saved un fortnnate'y by his sex from the Illuminating experience of dragging three or four hungry and restless brats about the city streets. I use the word "brats" with malice aforethought. No children, even one's own. seem quite human after an hour or so of struggling with them on some of the errands about town which are supposed to enliven the dullness of "woman's sphere." It Is certain that no mother, no matter what har normal temperament, is ever quite herself after such a siege. Someone had said that the country woman would not be the only one to use the rest-room. Indeed, and she would not. Ashland is not bounded by the confines of the business dis trict. I myself have noticed a few (?) houses which can hardly be called next door to the stores. I dare say Mr. Uantaite never considered that when women of the suburbs go shopping they face the same problem as Mrs. Country Jake. Of course the gentleman's sex again protects him. Likely enough he would say, "Leave the children with a neighbor." He knowB well enough that he will never have to be. the neighbor. Not that the neighbors are unwilling. But no woman with a sense of Justine is go ing to Impose upon her neighbors. So when she does go to town she tries to crowd a week's chopping into half a day, and fails, and the stores are losers and she is loser. I sometimes think that a feminist revolution, compelling the men to do the housework and assume the per sonal core of the children, would be justifiable if it would teach some of the men who advise us from the edi torial pages of the newspapers, a lit tle of the spirit of unselfish sacrifice, yes even the plain "sanity and com mon sense" which the housewife must have to succeed In her business. MRS, ADELAIDE R. OpK)sed to the Rent-Room. Editor Tidings: In one respect I agree with one of your eontributJ's for last week. It seems to me that a lot of uncalled for bosh is being written anent this rest-room proposi tion. I hope that some of your rica lady essayists will not so flood the matter with sentiment td:t it will be impossible for a sober, muiu'e-aged man to get at the leal issue 1 am not a psychologist, out I may boast that I have studied h.iman nx ture somewhat in my time, i rd I be lieve that In the case at hand 1 can safely venture a prophecy. In the first place I see t.iiu the fa 't of the proximity of the jf.i', to the rest-room site has been completely forgotten, though that was one of the main reasons' for the unfavorable ac tion on the part of that "unreason able" council. Now the women ,who have seized so passionately upon this chance to break into print have taken no account whatever of this fact. They will probably give it not a thought until they have succeeded in worrying the rest-room out of the powers that be. Then some one will inform them that their new paradise is a neighbor of the jail. Every woman in the mob will throw up her hands In horror. The next time the rest-room is mentioned each one will come back with: "Oh, but, -my dear, I never, never go there. You know it's right next door to the jail. Just think. One really couldn't, now, could one?" In the second place, after all this agitation no woman will want to patronize a place which has been granted to the public so grudgingly. Instead of being grateful, those whom it is intended to benefit will be un likely to go near It, if for no other reason than feminine pique. Why not drop the whole matter until there is a real demand for such an innovation, and not merely an out cry from a few shallow sentimental ists. SQUEEGEE. Don't Like the Attitude. Editor Tidings: Since you are ac cording the privilege ot anonymity to those who wish to write on the rest room agitation, I might as well take the opportunity to express some opinions which will probe unpopular enough with some people about town Mrs. Country Jake is mistaken if she thinks that the miserable bait of a rest-room with a dinky chair or two and a gas plate is going to lure much country trade Into town. The other country women, who have uo such delalistic ideas of community, welfare as she has, will not come to town once a year oftener than they do now Why should they? . They have nver had a square deal in this town since it was started. They bring produce to town and find their grocer over stocked with produce bought from the jobber. They find that prices are startllngly uniform about town. Shopping in Ashland does not mean getting bargains at stores whose poli cies are kept alive by healthy compe tition. There ain't no slch animal. The Ashland Merchants' Trust sees to that. And the average country wom an Is no fool.

Believe me, all the red, white and blue and purple trading stamps in the universe won't bring trade like a saving of ten cents on some neces sity of life. What is the result? SEARS-ROEBUCK AND OTHER MAIL-ORDER HOUSES TAKE OUT OF ASH LAND FOl'R THOUSAND DOLLARS EVERY MONTH OF THE YEAR. Put that in your pipe and smoke It, Mr. Merchant. These figures can be verified, and I am not indulging In hot air. Hut the merchants merely snub their counfi y patrons when they meet them on the street, then get to gether ami yap about hard times, and the lack of ready money In Ashland. And if a prngressvie something comes along that might fill the community pockets and make Ashland a place with a future, they obstruct It with thejr last breath. Mules! It has always been that way. It was the same when the city lighting system was installed. It was the same when the streets were paved and Ashland was transformed from a mudholi; to a city. I dare say it will always be the same. For the love of your life, if you happen to be an original person with a single real Idea OH a single subject, take your self and your idea to Medford, or some place where they will listen to you. You and it have no place In the scheme of things here. But to go back to that rest-room. I suppose no one has wanted the in stallation of that any worse than I. But I see that unless it is backed up by a radical change of front on the part of tlie merchants to whose Inter est It is supposed to appeal, it will be a thing of unquestionable value. You see I'm not considering Mrs. Country Jake and her sisters at all, for the simple reason that If we ever get a rest-room It will be because the merchants think they are gaining something by it, and not because they give a hang for the country women and their kids. Oh yes, certainly, they will turn right around when it has been provided and say that they did it because they felt so sorry for their lady patrons from the country. Can you beat it? MRS E. G. B. He Has Reen There. Dear Editor I see in your paper that some women are wanting a rest room put right near the jail in the city hall. There will be many who will object to this who do not have the nerve to say so as I do. What f can not see is why, after spending all the money the city did fixing up such a nice comfortable jail any one should want to spoil it all by putting In a rendevoo for bawling babies and gossiping women who will disturb the peace and quiet around the city jail which should be a place . rmiM i ik Sit iW .

ONE WHO HAS BEEN THERE. Indisputable Testimony. ! Editor Tidings: It is a common thing to hear people who come to Ashland seeking health express them selves as boing well pleased and highly benefited from the use of the mineral waters, pure air and health ful altitude, but It Is not often that this or any other place, no difference whether In this or any other country, can boast of such results as have been experienced so far by Mr. Frank Mo Gee, who came here from Denver, ; Colo., three weeks ago. Mr. McGee, ! who Is interested In the hotel and mining business, was In 1 90S crushed by a falling stone while in a mine. Ho never recovered fully and was left , with a most peculiar rheumatic and nerve trouble that has ever sinco baf i fled the skill of the most expert nervo j specialist In this country. Mr. Mc Gee says ho has spent large sums of money and traveled extensively, that he has been at seventeen different hot springs and has been treated by twenty-six different nervo specialists, eight of whom live in his own city of J Denver, but without effect. The first j twenty-two days he was In Ashland he gained exactly eleven pounds and says that he sleeps well. He made arrangements before leaving Denver to live In Portland and have the wa ter shipped to him there dally, but upon coming here to arrange for the shipments of water was so pleased with the beauty of the place that ho decided to stay. Whenever a man can be found who conies two thousand miles upon the advice of expert physicians to use our waters at this early stage of the gamo when the project has scarcely been completed, and when he cheerfully testifies that here Is the first relief that he has found In eight years, and that, too, after everything that travel and money could do, It certainly ought to make us begin to realize - cr Try it yourself if you want personal and positive infor mation as to how delightful Prince Albert really is, smoked in a jimmy pipe or rolled into the best makin's cigarette you ever set-fire-to !
