Call on a Lynn Bank for Beer.

sees little of the humorous side of
life, although now and then some
thing happens to vary the routine.
The employees of a certain national
bank In Lynn, Mass, noted for the
elegance of its furnishings, such as
desks, marble floors, etc, were in the
midst of their daily labors when an
individual rather the worse for wear

the whole length of the bank to the
teller's window, where he deposited a
nickel and stood rather unsteadily

it was a bank desk he was leaning
against and not saloon bar, he hast

Real Animus Of Movement Against

which II is hoped to prejudice tse sale

sition to prohibit the sale OF any rem

well designed to impose upon men who

Some of the best and most widely
used remedies in the world contain
some one ingredient which. if taken
in sufficient quantities. might be poi
sonous. and yet the preparation as a
whole is not poisonous at all. Opium,
for instance, is used in small quanti-
ties in many of the best cures for
coughs, collie, diarrhea, etc, in tooth
ache drops and in almost all liniments.
To require such medicines to be false

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children it ruins childs DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often Is due TO the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like firebrand

lessness. and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement

Do You experience fits of depression

easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying
Do you feel something like ball ris-

pain in the ovaries, and especially

WIN Build a ward for Momen.

The last Legislature provided that
women who were sentenced to states
prison In this state, could be kept in
the penitentiarles of other states
where female wards were maintained.
After the adjournment of the legisla-
ture the prison commission, while en-
gagged in making arrangements for the
removal of Idaho's female prisoners
to the Utah penitentlary, learned that
there was some danger attendant up
on the carrying out of the law, that
no obligation would rest upon the
courts of other states not to release
such prisoners upon writs of habeas
corpus, and that perhaps under a
strict Interpretation of the law. II
might be difficult for courts not to
release them IL such proceedings were
taken.
1t was then determined that
women's ward should be built in con-
nection with the Idaho state prison.
Plans have been drawn for a stone
prison, just north of the entrance to
the present stockade wall, on the site
of the warden's old residence. A gang
of prisoners have been put to work
getting out stone for the building
which is being dressed to size and
form by the force of prisoner stone
cutters inside the prison wall. The
work Of erecting the new building
will be commenced at once and push
ed to completion as rapidly as posi-

Complaint in Asotin County.

Much complaint is being heard
among Asotin county sportsmen in
regard to the absence of any protec-
ton for trout entering irrigation
bitches and fumes. It is claimed
that while the water was turned out
OF the high line ditch in order to
cover the flume with waterproof
canvas that a very large number of
mountain trout were left stranded in
the ditch, one boy alone securing
nearly 80 pounds of mountain trout
and two salmon trout.
Asotin creek Is a favorite resort of
fishermen and the seemingly unnec-
essary waste of the trout supply is
decidedly aggravating. It was ex-
pected that the last legislature would
pass law compelling the erection of
screens at the head of irrIgating
bitches, but 1t seems the act as passed
applies only to streams on which fish
are located. 1t seems only
