The Box supper

The ladies who got up this diversion
for the worthy purpose of promoting a
free library and reading room for the
benefit OF the public, did not receive
that encouragement last Friday night
which we think they deserved. 1t was
an entirely unselfsh task they put
upon themselves under the impression
that there were enough public spirited
progressive people in this town that
would turn out and make the supper a
success financially. While those who
attended had very enjoyable evening
and from social point it was quite sat-
isfactory, but as a means of raising
money 10 start a library fund 1t was not
catering success. All the boxes
brought were sold and a good many
more could have been sold. For the
present the library proposition may be
considered as having gone the way OF
Davy Jones.
AT cards Mrs. G. T. Walker won the
first prize and Miss Anna Miller, Of
Wenatchee, the second prize for ladies.
The prizes for gentlemen were AWARDED
to f. A. King, first, and the BOBBY
prize was a tossup between Messrs. H.
f.. Carr and Emery Ross, the latter
finally winning on the final toss.

LAWS DO NOT PROTECT
BABIES FROM BAD FOODS.

SPECIAL. BY CABLE 10 THE ST LOUIS RE
PUBLIC AND THE NEW YORK HERALD.
London. April 2-(Copyright. ls0a)-
Several important laws have their genesis
in the remarks Of Coroner. and some
very strong words from Mr.. Troutbeck at
WaEdsworth Coroner's Court this week
are likely to rouse an ayitation OF which a
great deal may be heard.
Tho inquest concerned the death Of an
infant from fit Of commissions, brought
on by improper feeding. The child had
been reared on patent foods. and one OF
the jury raised 4 question about tho sale
of these foods. pointing out that they
were advertised as fit for children.
The Coroner replied that. in the present
state of the law. the sale of these foods
for children by means of enticing adver-
tisements was allowed. and there was not
the slightest doubt that this was the cause
of a number Of deaths and great deal of
disease.
THE same remark" he continued. Zap
plies to patent medicines, but In their
case II Is worse. for not only are the pro-
prietors making huge profits out OF the
medicine. but. am sorry to say, the state
has made a large profit out Of this i'm
moral sale"
The only thing to be done, Mr.. Trout
beck concluded. was 10 call the attention
OF Parliament to the matter and to keep
calling It until something was done.

that women no longer cared as they used

held that women, so soon as they began
