DECISIONS BY SUPREME COURT
Spokane Ordinance Prohibiting PeddI-
ing Is Unconstitutional.

OLYMPIA, April 21.-In an opinion
handed down the supreme court mas
sustained the superior court of Spo-
kane county in the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings for Thomas Cant to test the
validity of the ordinance prohibiting
peddiing within the fire limits of Spo-
kane. The superior court held the or
dinance unconstitutional for the rea-
son that it was class legislation, far
mers being exempt from its provisions.
The superior court of Spokane is re-
versed in the case of w. A. Clark and
]. Ross Clark VS.. Charles S. Citing and
wife. The case was brought in the
foreclosure of a mortgage given as Sc
curity for money borrowed by Mr.. Eli
ing from Senator w. A. Clark, of Mon
tana, the chief contention being over
the rents Of the property in litigation
during the year the mortgage was be-
ing foreclosed.
The King county court is reversed
in the suit brought by Helen May van
Brocklin to break the will of the late
]. w. Van Brock1in. Miss Van Brock
lin was an adopted daughter of J. w.
Van Brocklin. He was divorced from
his first wife and the adopted daugh-
ter was awarded to Mrs. Van Brocklin.
Later Mr.. Van Brocklin married again.
On his death no provisions were found
in the will for the adopted daughter
She brought suit to have the will set
aside. She was successful in the lower
court but the supreme court modifies
the decree to the extent of reinstat-
ing the will but allowing the adopted
daughter legal share in the es-
tate without disturbing its other pro-
visions.

Blood and Nerve Food is the most ef-

advanced stages Of physical relaxation

the blood, feeds, fortifles and vitalizes
the nerves; regulates, sustains and

FRESHNESS OF EGGS.
Various Methods by Which the Test
May Be Made to Prove
Quality.

There are many old ways Of testing the
freshness OF eSSS. Some OF them NAV be-
or little value. Here is one that is CO.
Ing the rounds, but ter which we cannot
vouch. Ii may be all ri; ht: Eggs are
placed in IAN o. water. giving each
room enough so that It's motions will
not be interfered with by the Others
The air in the egg will he governed ac-
cording to the age of the egg. il the egg
has been kept in a moderately warm
state. If the eggs are just laid they will
be motionless. II they are more than a
week old they will partly stand on the
little end. This is because the air cham
Der is in the other end of the egg. This
air chamber grows larger as the egg be-
comes older and the moisture in it evan
crates. When the eggs get still older
they Will stand up straight in the water
and when very old will float.
This test, of course says the Farmers
World, would be of no value in the case
OF picked eggs or of eggs kept in cold
storage where the temperature was so
low that the evaporation of moisture
from the eggs would be very small.

Do not feed the tired horse until he is
rested.
Squealing hogs make spare ribs and
thin bacon.
Give the pigs warm place and dry
straw for a bed.
Are you SO kind TO your focks and
herds that they welcome your coming to
the barn?
Raise 1900 to 1,30o-pound mares for
the farm, and 1890 10 l SJO-pound horses
for sale.
How many cows are you feeding for
the sake of their company? If you don't
know, it will pay well to find out.
A good SOW that will raise two litters
OF eight to ten pigs year is one of the
most profitable animals on the farm.

ask for poultry. We have seen the
farmer get out pan OF corn and toll the

them into the henyard and the work of

without an hour OF fitting. They were
gaunt and lean shanked. They weighed
light when put on the scales or hung on
the steelyards. The farmer got out Of
them very little for the care he had be-
slowed on them. These birds should
not have been sold without being fitted.

A COLORED JOURNALS COM
PLANT.

The Wagner, Indian Territory,
New Era says
1t is strange but true, that nine
out of ten colored people refuse to
pay for a colored newspaper; still
nothing commendable is ever said
OF one, save through the colored pa
pers. The most of them claim that
the colored papers don't have any
thing worth reading in them. We
viii answer that by saying news
paper editors speak in profusion to
the encouragement given by their
people from financial point. Good
pay, better paper. No home should
be without a race paper, feeble
though it may be, and every man
who receives a paper should pay
for it or else tell the newspaper
man to stop it; it only costs one
cent, but to read and read and
then won't pay anything is dishon-
est and you should not let this cap
fit you. Then let us all pay some
thing.
Our contemporary should not
complain. This has been the lot of
every colored journal that has ever
been launched upon the journalistic
sea. The disappointing part of it
is that the class of people most able
to support colored Journals and
those most DESTROYS of having race
papers sing their praises are slowest
in paying for the same, and when
they do pay for it, they do it so
grudgingly that the collector feels
as though he has received an ice
shower bath at the hands of the
payer.
For our part, we have dropped
from our lists people of this charac-
ter and retained those race-loving
elements who appreciate our efforts.
1t injured us at first somewhat, but
we soon found that the release of
the lightweight accelerated our
speed and we are now enjoying a de-
gree of reasonable prosperity.
Subscribers who are unwilling to
pay $l.5O per year for good color

willing 90 pay 800 pcc year for
the same publication. Non-paying
subscribers and the dead-head ones
are the bane of a colored publishers
life. They do not pay for the paper
themselves and generally do all in
their power to keep other people
from paying for it.
