started a campaign to stamp out
f tuberculosis in tbls stats. Methods for
taroplns; out the plag-ue have been tip-
permost in the minds of the people for
.some time, and the state has recently
appropriated 1260,000 for the establish
. merit of a state hospital to treat lncip
' lent tubferculosls patients at Walos.

i This plan was forwards by Dr. H.
, 'Tm, Russell, dean of the college of agrl
, culture at the state university, who
' lias already spent years in studying;
, the best sanitary methods for ridding
this state of the disease. Together with
Ir. M. P. Kavenel of the university,
they visited the tuberculosis sanator
lnms in New York, gathered lnforma-
tlon on the treating of the disease in
. Kurope, spent time at the Rockefeller
hospital and then advised the ieglshv
ture to -establish this institution. Al
' though In operation but a year, nearly
' S00 patients have been admitted, and
- only one or two were sent home as in-
curable. The treatment given Is open
air, plenty of sleep and lots of milk to
drink.
The huildlnffn for the natlenta are
constructed like the verandas of a
bouse. Here the patients, warmly
wrapped, read in the daytime or stroll
over the fields and here they must
sleep, practically in the open air at
night Sometimes the wind blows in
upon them, or a little snow may sift
In, but heavy clothing keeps them

France Awakens to Absurd
ity of the Promise to
"Obey."
Br &4y Zsary Somerset. '
(Hearst New by Longest Leased WirO
London, Deo. 6. A movement is tak
ing place In the French chamber to sup
press a, clause in the French civil code
of marriage. The article reads: "The,
husband must protect his wife, and the
wife must obey her husband," and In
civil marriages the mayor reads out this
article to the couples about to be mar
ried. The promoters of the bill assert that
this Is old-fashioned and out of date
and conHtltues a real injustice to wo
men. The proposal to suppress the
phrase is, of course, no new one, and
It is ourtous that in the religious ser
vice the words "to obey" came In with
the reformation. It does not exist In
the Roman Catholic form, but 'the posi
tion of woman was largely influenced
at that time by the Puritan idea of
woman's submission.
It la sometimes said that Indiscre
tion is the attribute of woman, and that
one of the chief reasons why it is no
necessary to keep women from pubHc
life Is that they are likely to give the
cause away b.y their volubllty or want
T I of reserve.
The German emperor Is certainly an
Instance that such qualities can be
equally shared by men, and the indis
cretions of his imperial majesty appear
to have created a very whlrllpool In
the heart of the German government.
It is true that the emperor has now
exposed the fact that during the Boer
war he did his best to encourage this
country in the subjection of the Dutch
republics, and that attitude probably
strengthened the hands of those who
perpetrated a war of which England can
never be proud, but the real mischief
lies in the fact that the emperor la
anxious to Impress the world with the
idea that "the prevailing sentiment
among a large section of-the middle and
lower classes in Germany in unfriendly
to England." and that he finds it "not
the easiest task" to. oppose the major
ity of bis people. , , , .
. Now there are those who think that
when England desires to Increase her
navy she Is doing it with a view to ag
gressive action, but when the emperor
of a neighboring country calmly asserts
that the majority of his people . are
against us, it becomes incumbent upon
England, I think, to sea to it that she
maintains the supremacy of the sea,
although probably at the back of our
minds we know, that the hostility of
which the mperor speaks Is a bogey
raised in order to show how valuable
la hia existence for the protection of
the public peace. " .
It Is strange that this hostility should
have been unfolded to us at a time when
the great mass of the German people
have shown a singularly fraternal senti
ment, when there has been an. inter
change of friendly relation ; between

trust for his daughter, one half of the

epeciai attention will ne paid to tne
parapet surrounding the arena. This is .
to be entirely gold.
Gold paint was at first considered, but
this it was feared might tarnish before
the show was over, and It did not more- I
over give the rich effect desired. 1
It has in conseauence been decided to 1
decorate this parapet entirely with gold
leaf, a luxury which it Is estimated will
cost the directors $6000.
Another innovation concerns th tan
floor of the arena.
The dark brown of this, it Is consid
ered, gives a heavy tone not in keeping
with the brilliance of the decorative
scheme.
An attempt In therefore belnar made to
stain the tan a light buff color.
A gold cup, value S2600. will be of
fered in connection with the course

open to all nationalities.
A special gold cud, valued at J1000. is
offered In the' course of jumping con-
xesis, 10 oe competed lor by iirltlst of

The cup will be held for one year by
the winner's regiment, and must be won
twice before becoming the regiment's
properly.
The whole of the royal enclosure has
already been taken. The official pro
gram next year will contain a diagram
of the boxes in the royal enclosure, with
the names of their owners.
Describing the New York horse show,
the London Dally Me.11 of November IS,
In a dispatch entitled "Parade of
Riches," said:
"The great social event of the year,
the national horse show at the Madison
Square Garden, resolves Itself into a
contest for public admiration between
the ladies of the nmartent set and the
horses owned by their husbands.
"The spectacle indeed, was a curious
one. imagine a vast ring, in which val
uable thoroughbreds are exhibiting their
paces, surrounded by a glittering circle
of women In low necked dresses ablaze
with diamonds and clad in the latest
freaks of fashion.
" 'Which section of the show repre
sents the greater expenditure of money?
I asked an American friend, who was
proudly discoursing for my benefit on
the extraordinary number of dollars
necessary to produce the magnificent
spectacle confronting us. He made a
rapid calculation.
' 'Well,' he said, you see 600 women, I
wearing at least iz.ouu.uuu worth of
jewels. You also see 600 horses worth
on an average $1500 each, or a total of 1
i,uuo. -their harness costs another
$750,000, and their keep amounts to $1,
000,000 yearly. I think you may safely
say th American plutocrat spends mor
on the fair sex than on horses.'
"Th crowds of middle class specta
tors catch only occasional glimpses of
the horses, and their attention was ab
sorbed by the dresses and hats Of th
wealthy women present. The hats worn
by the ladles were of enormous size, and
the costumes exhibited were all In th
Directoire style. Two, displayed by
wejl known women of wealth, excited a
great deal of comment They were both
'sheath gowns.' on of peacock: blue and
the other of pale blue satin, and both
revealed black-silk garments to the hip.
Neither of tne women wore petticoats.
They were pointed out to me as belong
ing to the 'younger set of smart s-
rtety" ,
Commencing Monday, we will give to
every one of our customers placing his
order for a suit of clothes an extra pair
of trousers absolutely without cost.
This is another one of the popular Co
lumbia Woolen Mills innovations. Re
gardless of the kind of suit you buy, the
price or anything else, this offer stands
good. The suit you select is worth
every penny we charge for it, leaving
the trousers an absolute net gain. Co
lumbia Tailored Clothes have been so
thoroughly popularized in Portland that
it is not necessary to give anything
away to stimulate trade, but the season
of the year' suggests generosity and
good feeling. Therefore the FREE
TROUSERS, coupled with exception
ally fine workmanship and highest qual
ity of material.

Talking of Mussulmans, th fact Is
that harems are the product of modern

exist In ancient Turkey. The owning of
several wives in the. olden times meant
so many separata households, each es

ly like the other- the same number of
slaves, horses, servants, clothes, Jewel,
and last, but not least, the same amount
of attention from the husband. But
