cheaper than you can buy them in Portland
or Of Portland agents. We claim to sell in
struments of the same quality $50 to S75 cheaper
than any other agents within 800 miles. This
may seem like bola statement, but we are
prepared to back it up with incontrovertible
evidence, if given chance.
ARGUMENT.
All large dealers, like the Portland firms,
have enormous expenses that we do not have
in the way OF immense rent, electric light
clerk hire, freight, drayage and numerous
other bills. Especially is this true Of their
agents who cart their pianos around from
town to town, creating bills which you have to
share if you buy of them. Large firms save
about s1O on a.piano by buying in large carload
lots Do you think that makes up for the
above expenses? We are in a position to sell
cheaper than any large firms and the way our
customers are i creasing gives evidence that
people are finding it out. Beware Of spec
ial sales, piano clubs and the like.
NO linn can sell goods at wholesale prices to
the retail trade and no firm does. We
always make profit on our pianos and never
give anyone special price, or sell to you for
less than your neighbor, we have but bne
price the year around. There is not another
dealer in the Pacific Northwest to our knowl-
edge, which has strictly one price on each
piano from which they ever never deviate

ONT manage him too much.
Don't let him suspect that he
is being managed.
And above all things, let him
think that he is managing you.
Perhaps he may not be very much
managed at this rate. but there will
be more peace in the household and
the end will be better accomplished,
which is the chief aim OF matrimony
after all.
The old moth-eaten idea, feed the
brute" will not pass muster now
adays. A man wants something else
in his home. and it depends upon how
the wife feeds him. whether he will
submit to being fed at home or seek
refuge in his club or at the nearest
chophouse.
The average man wants his wife to
look up to him. He may in his heart
know that she is a blooming sight
cleverer than he will ever dare hope
to be, but he likes to lay the fiattering
JUNCTION to his soul that she does not
know it, or If she does will not be-
tray it.
Many men are managed out of house
and home.
The home that should be a happy
abiding place is about as comfortable
as cold storage plant and the man
who would dare infringe any of the
household regulations would find him
self hustled into Coventry most un-
tremendously.
The neatness and spick and span
order of the household is made para
mount to the mans comfort, who feels
that as long as 1t remains his exclu-
sive privilege to pay the bills he has
a little right to enjoy as much as they
call for.
The smell OF cigarette gives some
women a regular hysterical Dowte
shiver and a glass Of old rye arouses
antagonism like unto dear Cousin Car
RE, who raised the temperature In
Kansas when she thought herself the
only thing that stood between the ma
tive heath and perdition.
Such women should not indulge the
vagaries and uncertainties Of matri-
mony.
There are two inanimate yet animate
objects that a man loves better than
he ever did or will love his mother-in-
law, sometimes with the wife thrown
in, and these are. first, his cigar, sec
ond, his newspaper.
He may love his wife as much as ne
could love any woman, but when 1t
comes to his cigar and his newspaper

ebb. The most meager student OF med
zeal science ought to realize that a
body In which the vitality is badly i'm
paired should not be taxed further,
but should be given absolute rest, in
order that the remaining strength be
permitted TO fight the disease.
The question OF food for a consump-
tive Is even more simple than the ques-
ton Of rest. He should receive plain,
well-cooked, nutritious, tissue-b building
food-the same food that is given a
prize-hghter training for a fight (for
the consumptive is training for hard
hght), or an athletic team preparing
for contest. At Fort Stanton, 1t has
been found that eggs and milk are ex-
ceedingIy beneficial, and patients are
given both in abundance. A herd of
dairy cattle is kept on the reservation,
and increased from time to time as the
number Of patients increases. A herd
OF range beef cattle has been built UP
and, in another year or two. will sup
ply the sanatorium with beef. At pres
ent. meats are bought on annual con-

to the raising Of garden vegetables, al

speot.

he wants to be let alone to the solid
enjoyment of one or both, and the
woman who objects to either is apt to
find herself minus a hubby with an
accumulation of troubles on the side.
A man is rarely in ugly mood when
fragrant cheroot nestles between his
lips and he feels the seductive kiss and
in the rings of curling blue builds his
castles in Spain and coddles a few
other pipe dreams.
When angered, or when the cigar has
outlived it's usefulness, he losses It
aside and therein the cigar and the
woman are hkened in a mans life. He
loves each. until each has lost its
charm and then he throws aside the
woman as carelessly as he would the
cigar.
The woman who tries to cast out the
cigar will find herself the one to be
cast out.
OF course a woman with sensitive
throat may nearly choke to death in
the surcharged tobacco atmosphere,
but the chances are that hubby will
think she will get used to that, con-
sequently she had better try to.
ANYHOW the cigar is there to stay.
There are many homeless husbands
wandering about like poor little, neg
Iected orphans, whose wives are to
blame If they seek more congenial re-
treats where the cigar and themselves
are both at home.
A man also likes to feel In the
ewes of the woman he loves and who
loves him that to her he is the one
and only good thing that ever hap
pened. Then, too, he likes to think
himself vastly her superior, although
he may know full we'll that he is not
He wants to be deferred to as If his
opinions were quotations from Holy
Writ and the woman who is tactful
may let him enjoy the comfort Of
thinking so by refraining from ex-
pressing any contrary opinions and de-
ferring to him as her chosen authority
on all subjects.
1t is always the woman who humors
a man continuously who gets along bet
ter in the end. 1t is the woman who is
always antagonizing, who takes such
delight in rubbing him the wrong way.
who eats her heart out in loneliness
and regrets.

forty days per annum, and on nearly

The Cunard Company undertook to
build two steamers having a speed OF
twenty-five knots and to be available
for service under the Government
whenever called upon, conditional upon
the Government paying a subsidy OF
9150,000 a year and lending to the
Cunard Company an amount equal to
the cost of the two ships at a rate Of
interest Of % per cent, the money thus
advanced to be secured by the ships
of the Cunard fleet.
The cost of extra speed is one OF
staggering Importance, little under
stood by the general public. BY max
ing a brief comparison between the
Cedric and the Kaiser Wilhelm II this
fact may be demonstrated. The Cedric
on her load draught of SO feet 6 inches
displaces 1880 tons. while the Kaiser
Wilhelm II at her load draught Of 20
feet only displaces $4,000 tons, the
smaller vessel costing about 80 per
cent more than the Cedric with her
