A Secret Disease

OF all human diseases, that known as
contagious blood poison, or the Bad
Disease, has caused more misery and suf-
fering and ruined more lives than all
others combined. It not only wrecks the
hopes and aspirations of the one who
contracts it, but often the innocent are
made to share the humiliation and dis
grace of this most loathsome and hateful
form of blood poison. Children inherit
it from parents, and thousands of the
purest men and women have been con-
taminated and ruined simply through
handling the clothing of one infected

SOME LIVELY RUNAWAYS
Several Have Occurred In Town
This Week.

Several exciting runaways occurred
in Grants Pass this week. On Tues
day, Joe Russell's team took a lively
spin through town which was brought
to close when the wagon became
wedged between two trees in the bicy-
Gle park. No serious injury was done
to the team, though the wagon was
somewhat damaged.
Wednesday morning the pony team
Of Pankey, the fisherman, ran away
from the rear platform of the depot,
where their owner had just unloaded
stove. While Mr. Pankey was in
the depo t, the team took the oppor-
tunity of starting and We're under
headway before he could reach the
vehicle. They turned east into Front
street and raced up that thoroughfare
at lightning speed. Just in front Of
the Ably bakery, they slowed sudden
ly to one side to dodge tree and the
light hack was thrown into the air,
all except the front wheels and tongue
being deposited on its back in the
street. The front wheels were left a
little farther on and the team crashed
into a fence near the pine needle
factory and came to rest with horse
on each side of the fence. The horse'
were somewhat scratched but wer,
not otherwise injured. The wagor
was u total wreck.

dicted, will finally belts undoing. Some
models are pleasing on Wearers whose
figures show off to advantage with the
almost tight fit. Others give the body
wooden and patchy look, and the
many cheap cloths used recommend
them strongly to the kitchen belle.
Indeed, it is everywhere observed
that If woman wishes a plain ready
made garment of distinctive style, she
must pay for it's privilege. For having
decided upon characterization as the
dominant note of the season, Dame
Fashion has no time to think of plain
ness, and the demand for it is often
met at the shops as presumption.
On the other hand, if one wishes the
ornamental and can afford it in it's
best form, never did the market af-
ford such opportunities for perfect
worn by the wax women in some of
ton in clothes. and on reading their
prices woman is no longer inclined to
regard the private maker as the only
pirate in the world.
The combined cost of four gowns in
a glass cage at leading shop was ex-
actly $500. Three frocks, priced at
$500 EACH were miracles of hand
stitchery, and one charmer in shaded
rose chiffon had its fiounce edges
ruched in a way to exactly initiate
crush roses. BY such perfection of
make the dearness of these creations
is accounted for. as chiffon is a COM
paratively inexpensive material and
another frock was only of wool wolfe.
