These business men began to look around for a test case and picked the application of Albert Soltaa for a license in the Tenth ward of Indian apolis, which was filed before the Marion county board of county com missioners at the January meeting, 1907. The license was granted. A brief was prepared at once, and was submitted to the legal lights of the country, who made suggestions and changes. In 'a word the argument was that inasmuch as the Supreme Court had ruled that the saloon is a nuisance the Supreme Court most rule that the granting of a license to the saloon business is illegal because the state is thus Jlegnliziug immor ality. In the Marion county case, which was made the test case, Schuyler Young and William Trefz, voters of the Tenth ward, filed a remonstrance to Soltau's application for a license. The commissioners overruled it aud the case was appealed to the Marion county oircuit court. An application for a change of venue was filed and the suit was sent to 'Judge Artiuan's court. In the opinion of the liquor press. "this all important case will doubtless not stop short of the Supreme Court of the United States." HATTIE I. C. CALVERT, Press Supt. Grants Pass W. C. T. U.

The following is the full text of the law : "Granting Pensions to Certain En listed Men, Soldiers and Officers who Served iu the Civil War and the War with Mexico. "Be it enacted by the senate and the house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assem bled : That any person who served 00 days or more in the military or naval ser vice of the United States during the late Civil war, or 60 days in the war with Mexico, and who has been honor ahly discharged therefrom, and who has reached the age of 02 years or over, shall, upon making proof of such facts according to such rules and regn lation as the eceretary of the interior may provide, be placed upon the pen sion roll, and be entitled to receive a nension as follows: In case such person has reached the age of f,2 years $12 per month; 70 years, $15 per month ; 75 years or over fr-'O per month ; and such pension shall com uience from tne date of the filing of the application in the bureau of pen sious after the passage and approva of this act: Provided, that pen sioners who are fi2 years or over and who are now receiving pension under existing laws, or whose claims are pending in the bureau of pensions, may, by application to the commis siouer of pensions, in such form as he mav prescribe, receive the benefits of j this act ; and oothiug herein contained i shall preveut any pensioutr or person ' entitled to a pension from prosecuting his claim and receiving a pension nnib r any other general or s eoial act: l'rovd.d, tha: no person Minll receive a pension under any other ila.vutthi same time or for the same period that be is receiving a pension ' under tbo provisions of this act; Pro- i ! vided further, that no person who is , i now receiving or shall hereafter re I reive a greater pension under Buy ! the general or special law than he j ! would he eutitled to receive under the I shall be pensionable ' Well painted buildings aud fences add 10 per ceut to the selling value of a farm or town property and add SO per cent to the attractiveness as a place of residence. But lead paiuts are expensive and it takes an ex perienced painter to apply them so as to look presentable. Then on rough buildings and fences the lead daint ia too expensive and no more durable than properly prepared white wash. The whitewash can be applied with a brush, a broom or a spray pump. Now that the Spring clean-up s at hand the owners of nnpainted buildings aud yard fences should at least give them a coat of whitewash. The whitewash preserves the wood and it will give quite a tidy appear ance to an otherwise sorry looking outbuilding or fence. The whitewash used by the United States government on its lighthouses, buoy station and similar buildings is as durable as the average paint and but half ss expen sive and is easily applied. For the uformation of the readers of the Courier the formula for making the government whitewash is herewith given and it should be cut ont and saved for future reference: Take half a bushel of unslacked lime, slake it with boiliug water, cover during the process to keep in steam, strain the liquid through a flue sieve or strainer, and add to it a peok of salt previously devolved in warm water, three pounds of ground rice boiled to a thin paste and stirred in while hot, half a pound of Spanish whiting, and one pound of clean glue, previously dissolved by soaking in cold water. and then hanging over a slow tire in a small iwt bane in a larger one filled "with water. Add five gallons of hot water to the mixture, stir well, and let it stand a few days covered from dirt. It should be applied hot for which pur pose It can be kept in a kettle or portable furnace. The east end of the presidents house at Washington is embellished by this brilliant white wash. It is used by the goverumeut to whitewash lighthouses. A pint of thiB wash mixture, if properly applied, will cover one mar . yard, and will be almost as serv' able as paint for wood, biio stone, and is much cheaper t cheapest paint. Coloring mattei may be a i desired. For cream color add ye ochre; pearl or lead, add lampblai or ivory black ; fawn, add proportion ately four pounds of umber to one pound of ludian red and one pound of common lampblack; commnu stone color, add proportionately four pounds raw umber to two pounds lampblack. Found at Last. J. A. Harmon, of Lizemore, West Va., says: "At last after I htve found the perfect pill that never disappoints me ; aud for the beuefi' of other! afflicted with torpid liver and chronic constipation, will say: take Dr. King's New Life Pills."
