Chief among the faults Is tho protec

There should he some effective sys

overbearing and officious characters
In the public service are comparative

Hut we cannot nffonl to rest on our service In India, and now you are

nspire to bo known also as a beauti
ful town and a good home town. We
have many expensive and beautiful
residences here. What we need Is
Tiiore attention paid to our streets nntl
yards,
The use of water for irrigation
purposes should be encouraged in
every way. Civic pride should be
stimulated. Let our citizens take u
pride In the appearance of their
lawns. Put in a flower bed. Tear
tlown the unsightly board fences be
tween the residences and put In a
light trellis for sweet peas. Plant a
few choice varieties of roses and or
namental shrubs. Take care of them;
It will do you good.
To stimulate endeavor along this
line, let the city offer some induce-'
ment toward beautifying our city. For
example, why would It not be a good
plan to give a prize of $50 for tho
neatest and best cnretl-for front yard
or lawn; a second prize of $25, and
to the five next best, free use of tho
water for Irrigation during the sen
son. This would result In beautifying
the city and would be well worth the
expense.
Tho example of those who took
pride In the appearance of their sur
roundings would prove contagious and
others would fall Into line. The ex
pense incurred would be trilling as
the honor of taking a prize would be
sufficient Inducement to our public
spirited citizens to use sufficient ad

and gardens beautiful to mure than

Let us take a pride In the appear

of this beautiful spring weather to fix

AN ANTI-CIGARETTE CRUSADE.
Spokane Is waging an antl-cigaretto
crusade. The schools of that city
have taken the matter up in earnest.
It Is no longer a matter of mere
sentiment. Uuslness men, railroad
companies and other emplowers of la
bor are discriminating against the
cigarette fiend. He Is not so alert nor
has ho the stamina of tho boy whose
senses have not been dulled by the
insidious poison inhaled with the
smoke of the cigarette. Besides in
, juring the physical well-being of a
I growing boy, It blunts his finer sen
slblllties. No better proof of this
statement is needed than the fact
that a boy, otherwise thoughtful ami
well-bred, will smoke where tho
I fumes may be offensive to others. It
I breeds discourtesy and selfishness
Ho holds his own pleasureabovo the
comfort and feelings of others.
TOO MUCH PUBLICITY.
The public will be heartily glad
when the Hurdlck-Peunell ense Is end
ed and drags its slimy fo'is out of the
public gaze. It is bad enough that
trail humanity should prove recreant
to sacred marriage vows and trail
their honor In the dust, but it adds
no honor to the shameful record of
man's duplicity and woman's weak
ness to have the details of their fall
from virtue's nnnow way blazoned
forth for public delectation. What
that old Roman satnrlst, Juvenal, said
1800 years ago still holds good:
"That thero's a lust In man no charm
can tamo
Of loudly publishing our neighbor's
shame;
On eagle's wings Immortal scandals
fly.
While virtue's actions are but born
to Vile."

THEY ALL WANT OUR LUMBER,
A realization of tho demand for Or

over tho list of vessels now loading

BIG AND LITTLE FISHES.
Today's dispatches announce that
the United States Steel Trust has just
purchased another plant at a cost of
$80,000,000, Scarcely n day passes
but what some deal Involving mil

one of his characters say:
"Master, I marvel how the fishes live
In the sea.
Why as men do a'land, the great ones

With tho constant consolidation go

Consumption's
Small Beginning
No matter how strong you imagine yourself to
be, if you are not breathing plenty of good air every
day, if you are over-working, keeping late hours, or
in any way using up your energies faster than they
are repaired, you are making it easier for consump
tion to come into your lungs. This is the small
beginning.
Let your own good sense and your doctor
prescribe your habits and the necessary medicine
For nourishment nothing will do you more good
than Scott's Emulsion. It contains elements which
you cannot get from ordinary food and is rich in the
best materials for making good blood.
Scott's Emulsion is a wonderful food; it
furnishes a great deal of nourishment though you
take so little of it. That little enables the body to
overcome wasting and to build up the run-down and
worn-out tissues. Moreover Scott's Emulsion is a
great flesh-builder, and when the consumptive can
gain flesh he is getting the upper hand.
