senses he found himself in a strange
land among strangers, but Pappy in
PRODUCES himself as a man who don't
care much about doctrines, but who
is interested in his fellowmen. He
opens relations by saying: Il were a
drinkin' man myself onst. But arfter
the war l wandered off up here an hit
seemed to me like I'd found tn very
mind of God. Mer heart took on tn
greenness of tn valley, an mer speret
hev got so free hit jest natchelly de-
fies damnation. I hain't never been so
ez I could quit cussin', bet I kin tell
right from wrong afur off. n no man
ner doctrine kin come betwix me an
mer sight erlong them lines"
The young preacher looks rather
dazed and Pappy continues that he
promise anything. He admits that ne
is going to put his guest to work and
adds:
AN afore the summers over hope
ter prove tibet whatever preachers say,
work air tn main part of the plan
of salvation, 'cordin' ter mater. What
yet got ter keep in mind he adds,
lis that mater air dead game erbout
bein logical
The young preacher accepts the
situation with a sigh and goes out to
the field. But the old appetite is not
mastered. He finds an illicit still in
the hills and gets gloriously drunk
and Pappy comes and leads him home.
The preacher is overwhelmed with re-
morse at his fall, but Pappy is not
bit worried. He is full of encour-
agement for the struggling man.
I'm this business, boy" he says,
you can't back down 'thout feelin'
tibet We are a coward. Yo got ter have
the spunk ter lick hell outen yer own
soul. The way to cure temptation,
son, air to buck agin hit an buck
hard
A new bargain is struck and the
preacher stays another year, building
his body to resist by hard work and
home victuals, and his mind to resist
by Pappy's homely counsel and en-
couragement. In the end he tri-
umphs and is received back into the
church.
Pappy's system is, of course, the
nature cure. Its efficacy will, of
course, be denied but men have been
saved by it outside of stories. It's
sufficiency alone may be doubted, but
surely as an aid to character cure it
has place which is missed in the plan
of some schemes of salvation.

PATRONIZE HOME PEOPLE.

The costly experience of the owner
of the Keylor Grand theater in set
Ting with Seattle contractor ought
to prove conclusively that it is bet
patronize home contractors ana home
industries Of all sorts. The Seattle
contractors bid on the new opera
house was $2S,000, which was nearly
$4,000 lower than the lowest bid of any
Walla Walla contractor. But now
the successful bidder has defaulted to
the extent of from nine to ten thousand
dollars, and it is a question whether
the owner of the theater or the bond
ing company that guaranteed an hon.
est job will have to make good the
delinquent contractors shortage.
Walla Walla has many responsible
builders whose word is as good as
any bond, but VINO are willing at any
time to give an adequate bond, if
required. These men have their homes
here, they spend their money here and
all their interests are bound up in the
welfare of the community. They are
known to be thoroughly honest and
reliable and they deserve the support
and encouragement of their fellow
townsmen. They cannot afford to do
he hull hox
erect stand as monuments to their ef-
ficiency and capability as mechanics
and contractors. bad job would
prove costly to their business.
On the other hand contractors from
other cities have no interest here
Some of them would prefer making a
big thing by a skin game on one large
contract than to run the chances of
getting other contracts by honest work.
That was the principle upon which the
Seattle contractor, who built the Key
Tor Grand, seemed to operate. He
sighted and skimped his work where
ever possible without danger of I'M
mediate detection, in order to make
a profit out of his low bid. MANY parts
of the building are not according to
contract. The roof is not what it
should have been, the decorative work
was done with cheap materials and
the plumbing was cut down a thousand
dollars from what the contract requir-
ed.
Altogether it has been an unfortu-
nate experience for the owner of the
tneater, whose bad luck is generally
regretted but the lesson should prove
of value to other capitalists who con-
template the erection of buildings The
home contractor should always be
given the preference, even if his bid
is little higher than that of any out
slider The home contractors bid will
prove the best in the long run if it is
not the lowest to begin with. Walla
Walla contractors, mechanics, mer-
chants, manufacturers, newspapers,
printers, laborers, and Walla Walla
workers and industries of all sorts.
deserve the support of Walla Walla
people first, last and all the time.

Senator Louis +. McCOmas. of

The report that Mr.. McComas

upon the understanding that the

after his retirement from that
body. Friends OF Mr.. McCOmas

Cleanliness in the Sick Room.
Written for THE CITIZEN. |


A reader of the "CITIZEN "
says she wishes very much that |
would give IA few suggestions
along the line of cleanliness in
the sick room She says she has
never had any experie ce, but
will have a sick relative soon
whom she desires to make az
comfortable as possible in every
respect. But as to hygienic or
sanitary needs, she has no idea
what it is, and will need all the
hel p she can get. The idea of
cleanliness possessed by the av-
erage housekeeper and the proper
hygiene of the sick room are two
very different things. You are
right in trying to find out the
best methods for caring for the
sick. Always select a room if
you can that the sun shines on
for the sick in preference to
shady one. Statistics in hoSpi
tails shows that all other things
being equal, there are fewer
deaths and patients recover more
rapidly on the sunny side than
on the shady side of the build
ing. 1t is absolutely necessary
that fresh air be admitted into
the room, but it must he done so
as to avoid chilling the patient
A low bed with a comfortable
mattress is best for the sick.
A great deal of moisture is
thrown off from the body, and
where feat ers and heavy bed
ding is used they cannot be prop
erly aired or dried. No chamber
utenSil without a lid should be
used in a bed room whether sick
or we'll. Never have cO"ered
utensil in the sick room unemp-
tied. Empty it as soon as used
| aud disintect it often. If the
patient perspires much battle in
tepid water and wipe dry and
dust thickly with Mennen's tai
cum powder, as it is healthful
and soothing and is used IN all
sanitariums and hospitals.

ONE If the Presidents latest acts is
the appointment of c. +. Grunsky, one
of the former members Of the Is'hmian
Canal Commission, as engineer of the
irrigation and reclamation service, at
salary of $40, 600 year, and it is attract
ing attention and much criticism
among the men of Congress. They
cannot understand his authority in
making such an appointment aud his
right to fix a salary Of this kind Con-
gress has not made provision for an
office of the sort to which Mr.. Grunsky
has been appointed. In fact Congress
failed to pass a bill to create an office of
that kind. Such bill was introduced
by Senator Hansbrough, but Congress
refused to pass the bill or make an APP
preparation FIR such salary for place
of the kind yet the President creates
the very office which Congress did not
see fit to make and biirarily estab-
fishes a salary. Another instance Of
his unauthorized actiOl, his Illegal
action, was the appointment Of Il board
of architects to confer " 18th the heads
of departments about the location Of
public buildings in Washington in ac-
cordance with the p ans adopted 10y
the Park Commission uumbrr of
years ago. Although there was no
provision of such b ard, the President
named five or six well known archi-
tects as a board and directed that no
building should be locatei without con
sultation with them. Is it any onder
that the Senate resented his usurpation
of its prerogatIves this spriug.
