If it required an annual outlay of
$4,000 to insure a family against any
serious consequences from an attack
of bowel complaint during the year
there are many who would feel it their
duty to pay it; that they could not
afford to risk their lives, and those of
their family for such an amount.
Any one can get this insurance for 70
cents, that being the price of a hottie
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and

Commissioners Mileage.

OLYMPIA, June 2O.-The supreme
court has handed down decision in
the case of the state, ex rel w. H.
Heaton, appellant against Nathan
Beman, auditorsdf King county, res
pendent. The question involved was
whether the county commissioners III
counties OF the third class could re-
cover mileage from the county at the
rate of 10 cents for each mile Travelled
in discharge of the duties imposed by
statute or any mileage at all, in adj
dition to the per diem of S.. The
court holds that whatever may have
been the law in regard to this matter
prior to 1890, when the S. provision
was made, the intention of the act OF
1890 was to establish an independent
compensation for county commission
ers, and when this compensation was
fixed it must be concluded that il
was the intention of the Legislature
that the per diem should be exclusive
compensation. and the mileage form
erly allowed was not in tended to he
carried forward. The county commits
sioners will not be allowed hereafter to
charge any mileage against the county
in addition to the per diem allowed. 7

Convention Echoes.

Mrs. Dele G. HI. Cox of Ellensburg,
president of the Eastern Washington
w. G. T. U. sent letter full of good
cheer and loving messages the West
ern Washington convention. Mrs.
Cox has been very sick, but is better
now. Under her able leadership the
work of ike w. G. T. u. east of the
mountains is moving rapidly forward.
One of the pleasant things not not, d
on the Convention program was the
meeting of DR.. Fifeld and Mrs.
Broune. They were school friends to-
gether twenty-five years ago and had
never met since, each surprising the
other to be dead.
After Mrs. Stevenson's lecture the
last night of the convention. she trld
the following amusing story:
Speaking of compliments, l must
tell of an ideal compliment once re-
ceived. 1t was long agr when / first
began lecturing, at the close, one oil
the men in the audience came up and
said, you did we'll. / have really
heard SOME men who couldn't do as
well. "
A handsome banner had been prom
ised to the Union the largest per cent
of whose members were subscribers to
the Union Signal. The banner was
white satin with gilt letters and bore
the words "Send out the U. S. Light. y
In presenting the banner it was ex-
planned that U. S. stands for us, for
United States and for Union Signal.
The banner was awarded to the What
com, which boasts eight members, and
takes eight Union Signals. The
Whatcom sisters will have to keep
awake, as there were two or three
unions not far behind and they viii
be anxious to carry away the banner
at next Convention.

Inc report OF tne WORK OF Cne WAlCe
Shield Home was particularly interest
ing. Thirty girls have been sheltered
during the year, four of whom have
been since married and are happy in
their new homes. Fourteen babies
were born in the Home, ten boys and
four girls, two of the babies have since
died.
The building is now proving too
small for the demands of such num-
erous family and the trustees have
plans for an addition of eight rooms to
be used for maturity ward. No debt
will be incurred, but it is hoped that
the friends will be liberal, as the need
is pressing one and the cost not
large.
Tho Mercy contest Wednesday even
ing was to many the most interesting
event of the day. The contestants
were seven young ladies between the
ages of eleven and fourteen. The prize
was beautiful volume of selected
poems. The judges had difficulty in
deciding who should be awarded the
prize, as all of the contestants reflect
ell great deal of credit on their in
structor and upon themselves. 1t was
finally announced that Miss Grace
Taylor would be the happy winner.
Thursday evening large and ap-
preciative audience listened to an adj
dress by Mrs. Katherine Lutte Steven
son, our National Corresponding Sec
rotary. Her subject was the ode
mands OF Christianity of today" Her
first point was that our Christianity
must be practical. To illustrate she
told the story of the penurious Deacon
who prayed SO touchingly for the poor
of the city and that God would relieve
their distress. When he sat down the
brother behind him touched him on
the shoulder and said, eff 1 had your
cellar of potatoes l would answer that
prayer" She said, II am a firm be-
lever in prayer well seasoned with
work. God will never answer any
prayer that we are able to answer our
selves. There is great deal of firing
in this war against intemperance but
the reason we do so little execution is
because so many blank cartridges are
used" AS long as the liquor business
is licensed and protected as a legiti-
mate business, just so long will the
work against this giant evil be prac-
tically unsuccessful. She laid the
blame where it belongs, on the Christ
ian voters, and her audience agreed
with her as was shown by the applause
which followed her remark eff the
prayer meeting and the primary come
on the same night, leave the prayer
meeting and attend the primary"
She closed with an earnest plea to
those present to keep on working,
praying and hoping.
Friday morning the elections result
ed as follows:
President, Miss Mary L. Page; Vice
Pres, Or. Fifield Cor. Sec., Mrs. Ride

For your Protection. -Catarrh "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. The1emedy should be quick to allay
Inflammation and heal the membrane. Elyis

these troubles and contains no me~cury
