If. 1 Consul Says Orient Calls for Northwest Products Consul General John P. Bray, of Singapore, Straits Settlements, who is on leave at absence from his post, ar rived em the Pacific Coast last week and has spent a couple of days in Se attle in conference with business men and ethers interested in trade in the Northwest The consul general has been in the service of the State de partment for about 20 years and for a number of years was stationed at Syd ney, Australia, but recently was trans ferred to Singapore, where he not only looks after the affairs of the depart ment of state, but also has charge of the affairs of other countries now at war. The consul general spent considera ble time in the Seattle office of the bu reau of foreign and domestic com merce and has given to the commercial agent the following statement as to conditions in the Straits Settlements as they probably affect the business of the Pacific Northwest "As to the manufacturing interests of the Pacific Northwest I would say that there is a large opening in the Oriental countries for products of this region. Especially is this true in re gard to pine lumber, flour, fruits, canned fish (particularly salmon). "The development of the Straits Settlements and the Federated Malay States provides a great field for the manufactured Bteel products of the Pa cific Northwest, and especially would I call the attention of manufacturers of this section to the lack of tnonage for the manufactured products to be sent forward." EAT LESS MEAT IF Take a glass of Salts to flush Kidneys if bladder bothers you; Eating meat regularly eventually produces kidney trouble In some form or other, says a well-known authority, because the uric acid In meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked ; get sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts o( distress, particularly back ache and misery In the kidney region; rheumatic twinges, severe headaches, torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary Irritation. The moment your back hurts or kid neys aren't acting right, or If bladder bothers you, get about (our ounces o( Jad Salts from any good pharmacy; take a tablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast for a tew days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used (or generations to (lush clogged kid neys and stimulate them - to normal activity; also to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer Irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. , Jad Salts cannot Injure anyone; makes a delightful e((ervescent lithla wntor drink which millions of men and women take now and then to keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus avoiding serious kidney disease. . Money In Dandelion Roots. Selling dandelion roots at 4 to 6 cents per pound offers a pretty fair premium on removing the dandelion pests from lawns, fields and pastures. Since 100,000 pounds or more are Imported annually Into the United States It seems that many a young boy or girl ought to make fairly good wages by collecting and preparing dandelion roots for the drug trade.

Many verdicts of a strange, curious and humorous nature find birth not in frequently in coroner's juries and jur ies in Justice's courts. Uncommonly Intelligent are the cor oner's juries In Mississippi. Twelve men In Warren county, in that state. returned a verdict several years ago which read: "The deceased died by the will of God or some other disease unknown to the jury." Another verdict, equally as solemn, reads: "We are of A Pinion that the Decest met with her death from Vio lent Infirmation of the Arm, producest (rom Unoan Cauz." An old story, ott repeated, ' is that an English jury in a criminal case once brought In the following. "Guilty, with some little doubt as to whether he is the man." Another is ' told of a Welsh jury, which reads: "We find the man who stole the mare not guilty." Docket ' Got Even. A young man who had been snub bed at the theater door decided to get even with his girl friends. The girls occupied the first four seats In the sixth row and the young man bad the fifth. They paid no at tention to him. On the program was a monologist who began to talk of love to get a few laughs, as those ar tists often do. He said: "All the girls who are in love, please stand up." Turning to the girl next to him, the young man who had been snubbed said: "Please let me out." Naturally, the entire (our had to rise. ; When they were on. their feet the young man sat down, while the re mainder of the audience roared In glee at tho four.

Portland Eastern bids "for wheat were lacking Thursday, but there was some demand on the local market and offers at the Exchange were advanced J to 2 cents for spot and May delivery. Bradstreets estimates the visible wheat decrease at 1,037,000 bushels, the corn decrease at 1,227,000 bushels, and the oats decrease at 1,976,000 bushels, Timothy hay is scarce in the local market and will continue so during the remainder of the season.' The price is on a firm basis. Receipts of Cali fornia grain hay are looked for. Al falfa is also firm. The outlook is for a record crop of alfalfa in the North west this year. Enlarge Creamery. Moscow, Idaho Work has started on the cold storage plant of the Mos cow Creamery compnay, which has closed a contrat with a Spokane firm for a four-ton modern equipment, in stalled. The butter room will have a capacity of 60,000 pounds; one room for eggs to hold 1000 cases; one room will be kept at about zero for harden ing ice cream; one for manufacture of ice for the use of the creamery only, and one for cream and milk. These will all be in addition to the butter making department and machinery, , Sugar Prices Soar On, Portland Sugar prices higher than ever predicted before are predicted by wholesale grocers. As a consequence of the latest advance in the East there will be a 10-cent rise in the Portland market Thursday, which will bring the wholesale price up to $8 a hundred pounds. The highest price on record was $8.05, which prevailed soon after the war began. It is likely this record will be exceeded in the next few days, as the Eastern markets are strong. The allies have been heavy purchsers, and this is causing the advance. WHEN YOU WAKE UP DRINK GLASS OF HOT WATER Wash the poisons and toxins from system before putting more -food Into stomach. 8aye Inslde-bathlng makes any. one look and feel clean, sweet and refreshed. Wash yourself on the inside before breakfast like you do on the outside. This Is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb Impuri ties into the blood, causing illness, while the bowel pores do. For every ounce o( food and drink taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be car ried out of the body. If this waste material is not eliminated day by day it quickly (erments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts, which should suck only nourishment to sustain the body. A splendid, health measure Is to drink, before 'jreaktast each day, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful ot limestone phosphate In it, which la a harmless way to wash these poisons, gases and toxins (rom the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening and fresh ening tho entire alimentary canal be fore putting more food Into the stom ach.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and trouble some.
