Agree to Spare Song Birds.

\ solution of the song bird slaugh-
ter problem seems to have been
reached at last. in Milwaukee the
Millinery Jobbers' association and the
Audubon society have signed treaty
of peace. The same thing has been
done in the east and under the agree
ment reached the milliners agree to
discontinue the use of all song birds
on hats, also gulls, terms, humming
birds and grebes.
This looks like solution of the
song bird problem. 1t is well. With
interest aroused among the milliners,
and with the ladies of the land stir
red to the Importance of the respon-
sibility that rests upon them in this
matter, it is likely that the lives of
the beautiful song birds will be spar
ed and this cruel slaughter will be
ended. Woman will soon realize that
to wear a song bird on bonnet is
merely to display a badge of cruelty.

The wastes OF the Body.

Every seven days the blood, mus
cles and bones of a man of average
size loses two pounds of wornout It's
sue. This waste cannot be replen-
ished and the health and strength
kept up without perfect digestion.
When the stomach and digestive or
gans fail to perform their functions
the strength lets down. health gives
way and disease sets up. Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure enables the stomach and
digestive organs to digest and assimi-
late all of the wholesome food that
may be eaten into the kind of blood
that rebuilds the tissues and protects
the health and strength of the mind
and body. Kodol cures Indigestion,
dyspepsia and all stomach troubles.

FOLLY oF STOMACH DOSING.
breathe HyomeI and XIII All Catarrhal
Germs I'm the Head,

breathe HyomeI and Kill All Catarrhal
Germs In the Head.
The old-fashioned idea of dumping
nauseating medicines into the stom-
ach to cure any and all diseases from
catarrh of the head to typhoid fever
is rapidly becoming Il thing of the
past. Every day sees less and less
medicine used by the best physicians.
This is particularly true in the treat
ment of catarrh and other diseases of
the respiratory organs. Ii is just as
foolish to take drugs into the stom-
ach to cure catarrh of the head as to
treat sprain by swallowing tablets
or tonics. The only way in which ca
tarrh can be cured is by IA direct APP
plication that will kill the bacilli of
catarrh in the mucous membrane of
the nose and throat and prevent their
growth.
Hyomei is the only known treat
ment that accomplishes this. 1t is
the simplest. most pleasant and only
absolute cure for catarrh ever dis
covered.
While it is strictly within the
bounds of truth to style this the only
method of curing catarrh, it can also
be called the most economical.
Il. II. Thomas has 50 much faith in
The merit of Hyomei and its unusual
curative qualities that he sells il I'M
der his personal guarantee to refund
the money if the purchaser can say it
has failed to help. This is certainly
the strongest evidence of good faith
and enables any sufferer to try HYo-
mel with no chance to spend money
without return.

Judge Carter should be defeated in
the Fourth supreme judicial district
because he aided and abetted the out

TWO BIG MEETINGS
Evangelist Barrett Spoke
to Large Audience.
LARGEST EVER IN WAliA WALLA
Applied Sermon Of Last Night to
Conditions Locally, and Touched
On Amusement Places.
EVER IN WALiA WALLA

Evangelist Barrett yesterday
preached TO two Of the largest con
gregations ever gathered in Walla
Walla. Services held in the morn
ing at the Methodist Episcopal church
packed the edifice to overfiowing, IT
being necessary to utilize the lecture
room to accommodate the large audl'
ence. Much interest was shown IN
the meeting which did not come to
close until 1870 o'clock in the al
ternoon. Rev. Barrett took as his
subject Baptism With the Holy
Ghost
The audience which gathered at
the big tent in Howard street IN
the evening, was by far the largest
vet in attendance during the revival,
and was estimated at 1900 peoples
Several hundred who could not Sc
cure seats, crowded around the tent
such was the interest. Rev. Barrett
took as his evening subject "a Fool
Of a Woman"
The fool woman as the evangelist
demonstrated it proved to be Lots
wife. and from this fact several les
sons were drawn She had special relig-
ious privileges, being married to the
only religious man in SOdom. AT
that point the evangelist gave a WV
id description Of what he presumed
the life Of such a one in Walla Walla
would be in 1908.
Reference was made to several OF
Walla Walla's places Of amusement
showing that the evangelist has not
overlooked the fact that Walla Wal
la is much the same in some respects
as many other cities he has labOred
in.
Lots wife he said had been warned
of God and Gods will. She was al
most saved but persisted. She went
win her husband and daughters an1
the angels of God until she came to
that place where she saw that to be
saved with them meant to leave her
beloved SOdom and its pleasures.
She persisted in the very act Of sin
and she neither got SOdOm nor safe
ty. Many people choose worldliness
today in preference to heaven and
get neither one.
At the close of his sermon Mr..
Barrett drew some telling illustra-
tons applying his sermon TO local
conditions. The seating capacity OF
the tent was increased today to 1000
to accopodate the increasing crowds

ships Of Land-Expects To co
into Sheep Business.

w. H. Babcock, arrived in Walla
Walla this morning from Trinidad,
where he has been the past six
months experimenting the sale of
several townships of lands he owns
in Douglas county in the vicinity OF
Waterville. In addition to the So
brequet wheat King of Eureka Flat,
Mr.. Babcock can easily lay claim to
being the largest individual land
owner in the state if not in the whole
northwest, his land holdings on the
fat and in Douglas, Chelan and Kitti-
tas counties amounting to some Is
townships.
Much of his holdings in Douglas
county has been placed on the mar
ket and this morning Mr.. Babcock
said he felt satisfied with his ven
ture. Much Of the land bought sew
eral years ago for 80 and IS cents
an acre is now readily selling for So
and $12, the present price depending
of course on the location and fertili-
ty of the soil. Several sections were
disposed of to eastern parties last
week at from IS TO So.
Il am not placing all my land on
the market by any means" MI. Bah
cock said this morning. while much
of it has already been sold l expect
to retain several thousand acres, for
sheep range. There is money in the
sheep business.
The country about Waterville and
Trinidad is filling up fast Many
lomeseekers have come west this
summer and Douglas county | be-
,ieve has attracted her share"
