al am satisfied that Cottolene
is perfect substitute for lard, and
is very superior to it for all cook
ing purposes. Biscuits made from
it are much lighter; pie-crust more
delicate and not so greasy as that
made from lard. Oysters, Croquettes,
&c, fried in it reach the perfection
which cooks desire to have them
brown and dry, and free from grease.
Cottolene can be used in fine cakes
instead of butter where lard would
iniure their flavor. | think Cotto-
lene more healthful being so much
less greasy and consequently more
digestible.
Other testimonials to the
same effect come from all
the most celebrated writer's
and the highest authorities
upon cooking, for example:

QUARANTINE DECLARED
Traffic With Infected British
Columbia Cities Pro-
hibited
New Whatcom Council Closes
Bagnios and Urges
Vaccination
Vancouver Quarantines Vic
toria--No New Cases
in Whatcom

The city authorities of both of the
Bay cities are thoroughly alive 10 the
necessity Of taking precautions to pre-
vent the spread of small pox, and the
city governments Of both cities yester-
day adopted measures for the enforce
ment Of quarantine regulations, which
will probably be enforced today. AS
yet there are no cases at all in Fair
haven and no new cases in New What
com, and it Is hoped that by diligent
enforcement Of the quarantine the con-
tagion may be held within the two
households in which il has existed.
Seattle, Tacoma and Port Townsend
have quarantined against Victoria,
Vancouver and New Westminster, and
Vancouver has quarantined Victoria.
The Islander was not permitted to land
at Vancouver yesterday morning. The
fire department was down at the wharf
to receive her as she approached, and
the demonstrations made with the hose
showed the captain that AN attempt to
land would be futile, and he anchored
in the stream.
At n special meeting of the New
Whatcon city council yesterday after
noon the question of quarantine was
taken up. DIR. Bragg offered in behalf
of the medical society and read the
resolutions adopted the preceding day.
City Marshal Mcintosh reported that
two prostitutes from Victoria had been
found secreted in Mae Wrights house
and that they with all the inmates of
the house had departed for Seattle. He
also reported that he had closed all
bagniOs, and the council instructed
him to keep them closed.
The city attorney was instructed to
request the county commissioners To
place inspectors on trains running
from Sumas and Blaine.
The following resolution was adopted:
RESOLVED, That It be the sense Of
this council that all persons not re-
Gently vaccinated be vaccinated, and
that all persons unable TO pay for the
same apply TO any physician in the
city and be vaccinated free of charge,
and that this city will furnish neces-
sary virus or points, and that copy Of
this be presented 10 each Of the papers
Of the city for publication.
The council declared quarantine
against Victoria, Vancouver and New
Westminster. The clerk was instructed
to correspond with transportation com
panies relative TO the exclusion Of per-
sons journeying from infected places.
The county commissioners are wait
ing for Governor Ferry's answer TO the
telegram sent him yesterday. II the
state does not furnish inspectors at the
boundary, the commissioners will ap-
point officers TO inspect trains.

Advertising In the south

One of the best advertising letters
ever written from New Whatcom, and
one which has interested a large num-
Der Of people was written several weeks
ago by Master Hugh Appleby TO the
Atlanta Constitution and published i'm
the juvenile column Of that paDer. For
days past large number of letters have
been received from readers I'm all parts
of the country until the small boy looks
in horror at the vast correspondence
piled up before him, and seriously con-
templates the employment Of a secre-
tary To assist him in replying TO the
many letters. These letters are by no
means from readers Of the children's
column only; men, women and child
ren anxious for further Information
being included among the writers.
The letters will all be answered with
great care with one exception, that Of a
woman who requests the young man
te have his mother write an answer to
her letter If he is not able TO write.
This is the most unkind lack Of appre-
citation the youthful Journalist has met
with and ii is safe to say the woman's 5
letter will be treated with silent con-
tempt. Several men and women write
for facts in regard TO the weather,
crops, school facilities, population and
many other subjects, while the child
ren's letters are largely made up Of in
quiries In relation TO the size and
ferocity of the bears, wolves, Indians
and other wild animals continually as
sociated with the west in boys mind.
Master Hugh has borrowed dollar of
his father TO buy stationery and post
age stamps and proposes to devote a
portion of each day during the summer
vacation to answering the letters
already accumulated, after which he
will make arrangements with the Con-
stitution for a regular weekly letter adj
vertising the county, for which the
Chamber of Commerce has already
opened negotiations. Who says adver-
tlsing does not pay, and who believes
the readers of the Constitution ever
heard of Bellingham bay before it was
advertised by this young mans letter?

ferred to Judiciary committee.
The matter Of advertising for bids
for additional sewer work was referred
to, and after a brief discussion it was
decided to hold an adjourned meeting
on Saturday at 2 p. m, for the special
purpose Of considering sewer matters.
Mr.. Kinghorn protested against the
practice Of treating sewerestimates like
other bills and holding them over one
week for investigation. He thought il
a violation Of the ordinance requiring
the engineer to furnish estimates once
in two weeks and regarded IL as a hard
ship upon the contractor and laborers.
Mr. Hedge could see no reason why
such discrimination as Mr.. Kinghorn
favored should be permitted. He be-
lieved that all contract estimates
should be more fully investigated than
would be possible If allowed at the
meeting when presented. Mr.. Dono-
van thought mistake had been made
if contracts had been let TO contractors
unable to carry their men one week.
1t was apparent from the discussion
that the sentiment Of the council was
clearly opposed 10 railr0ading the estt-
mates through in the manner suggested
by the chairman of the sewer COM
mittee.
Mr.. Griffin asked that estimates of
the total cost of the sewer work now
under contract be presented at the
meeting Saturday. He did not believe
in ordering further extensions mt pres
ent If the result would be to necessitate
the issuance of ten per cent. warrants
TO provide for current municipal ex-
penses. AT the present rate of expen-
diture there will he considerable de-
iicieney even if there is not dollar OF
delinquency on the tax roll.
