There's a corset that isn't
a corset, a waist with straps
for the shoulders and rows
of buttons to button ON
skirts and stocking supporters
and so forth-the Ball Waist
and that's about the whole
of it. No; you can put it
in the washtub-no metal IN
it or on it.
1t is worth your seeing, if
for nothing but how to sew
on buttons.to button easy and
never come off, and how to
make buttonholes wear for
ever.
Women differ in their ways
of thinking and dressing as
we'll as in other ways. This
waist is for women whose
minds are made up that they
won't wear corsets.
There's much to be said
on both sides; but did you
ever hear of a woman who
hadn't made up her mind in
some way3 and is there any
possible use in trying to get
her to change it2 She will
and she will |; or she won't
and she won't.
You can get the Ball
Waist and wear it a week or
two or three; and, if you
don't want it, take it back to
the store and get your money.

A W arning

Good Health, journal devoted to
sanitation, gives the following anal
ysis of n cigarette made by Il promi-
nent physician, which should serve
ms warning to boys who have not
yet acquired the habit of cigarette
smoking. The use of tobaccoin in any
form il to be deprecated, but in the
form of cigarettes its use Is most
haneful and disgusting, None but
confirmed cigarette smokers can ap-
preoiate the strength of the bonds
which euslave the user of the insid-
ious and poisonous cigarette. The
analysis il mentions Is as follows;
"lhe tobacco was found 10 be
strongly impregnated with opium,
while the wrapper which was
guaranteed TO be rice paper, was
proven To be the most ordinary
quality Of paper whitened with mr.
senic, The two polsons combined
were present in sufficient quantities
To create In the smoker "a habit Of
using opium without his being
aware of IT, his craving for which
can only be satisfied by an incesSant
consumption of cigarette"

/ Washington-is coming into view
right in the front line and with its
marvellous natural wealth and ad-
vantages Of an enduring quality
will forge to the front and lead all
other states.
The secret has gradually leaked
out that the Willamette valley, and
particularly the country compos-
ing Polk and Marion counties, is
the most worthy of all countries yet
brought to the general notice, and
that till within the past two years
the people living here so happily and
contented have been too modest to
proclaim the merits of the country
To the outside world.
During the rush to the south and
north of them, they have looked on
with an half amazed wonder, never
dreaming in few short months the
charms Of this valley would be found
out and attract thousands of people
In search of iusr such an earthly
paradise.
Hardly has this been realized till
it Is also seen that 1t is the last,
almost, in the United States that
has not been crowded full to over
flowing.
There is little need for us to re-
mind men of capital and experience
Of this opportunity, for they are
thinking aud acting for themselves.
But we do think it is "a good idea
that the laboring men and farmers,
the bank clerks and store keepers

too busy in their practice to give
much thought to financial matters
the teacher and salesman, in fact,
the masses should look this field
over and make good, judicious in
vestments before it is too late to reap
the full benefit.
We believe that this Is an "Oppor-
tunity Of life time" and that it is
unlikely that it will ever again offer
to the masses now living here. OF
course 1t is possible that some indi-
viduals may drift into some other
locality at the right time to repair
the damage which will have been
done to their finances by procastin-
ating now. We admit that it is
possible, but who wants to run that
chance? We don't. DOyOu?
From all points Of the United
States we are informed that people
are going to remove to the William
cite Valley, of which they have
heard such wOndrous and attractive
reports.
EVEN IN WASHINGTON
AND THE PUGET SOUND there
is a strong undercurrent, setting in
towards Salem and the Willamette
valley, which, before the season is
over, will resolve itself into an i'm
migration that will add good
many thousands to our already
fast increasing population.
In addition to our present attrac-
tive and substantial improvements
there are now proposed some public
measures which will advertise our
city so that the impetus will place
