No Gambling" Endorsed.

The last issue of Miller Freeman $
Ranch and Range contains two commu-
nications from Yakima county indorsing
the action OF the state fair commission in
excluding gambling games and devices
from the state fair grounds, as follows:
II am glad to see the protest OF Mr..
Matterson on the subject of gam bling
and the saloon on the state fair grounds
Last year the two most conspicuous
things about the fair were the gambling
fakirs and the saloon, and the writer
came home disguste1 and resolved never
to atteni another fair at North Yakima
until there is radical reform in such
matters. Ii the commission will rigidly
exclude all such demoralzing things |
am satisfied the solid elements OF the
state will cordially support il, and the re-
suit eventually will be great gain in
every way-even financially.
"There is also another line along which
reformation is greatly needed, which.
however, rests with the people of North
Yakima instead of with the fair commits
sion. refer to the practice of the hotels,
lodging houses and private rooms let to
visitors doubling their rates on the occa-
sion of the fair. Such practice gives
North Yakima bad name in the state,
and visitors feel that they are sought to
be lured to the fair for the purpose OF
fleeing them. If the caterers to the pub
lie can afford to do business at ordinary
times at the ordinary rates, they can still
better afford it with the crowds at the
fair, and to double the rates for those
days is another name for robbery.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance. and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and

Tn. Handkerchief nelt.

There is a new belt, a muf1er belt. or
What its name implies, a silk handker-
chief made into a girdle. There are
two designs. One is made by folding
the big brilliant silken square until it
forms a narrow band, measuring from
corner to corner about forty-siX inches
when stretched out. This is brought
around the waist. hiding the skirt
band n place where the bodice and
skirt meet, and taken around to the
side and knotted in two flowing ends,
fastened by a brilliant buckle or clasp
or silver or gold. The clasps are riv-
eted or sewn on, so hat they meas
ure the same as the waist band, and
When in position the whole forms a
graceful and really pleasing effect,
strange as it may seem when told in
print.
The other handkerchief designs are
called girdles, and are made in a very
different manner. They are shirred to
a high point in the front like a corset
front and shirred at both sides with
bones sewn in to make them hold their
place. At the back they are gathered
into a slim shir, and the corner points
are allowed to fall in two gradual tails
that show the border and make u neat

that ordinary bolt silk would show.
they are more graceful than ribbon,
however soft and wide it may be.

Many little babies have a tendency
to an irritation OF the scalp which is
80 common that one would almost
fancy 1t was unavoidable. II the moth

baby's heed should be disflgured by

ly by the disagrecable names of "cras
dle-cap," "milk-crust," and "scurf.".
When the first symptom of redness or
a scaly condition of the scalp appears.
the head should be regularly anointed
each night with vaseline, which must
be gently rubbed into the skin. This
is to remain on all night, a large piece
OF soft linen protecting the pillow from
grease. At the time Of the morning
bath the head is to be thickly lathered
with old CASTLE or tar soap, and then
washed In warm water containing q
little borax. In the first stages OF
the eruption this treatment will gem
orally suffice, but II the yellowish crust
has already formed, it may be easily
removed with the towel in drying the
head after the treatment Just described.
Any mother who has seen an otherwise
pretty baby disfigured by a sore or
irritated scalp will willingly take this
trouble to keep her baby free of the
malady.-Harper's Bazaar.
