MISERY OF THE
SAD SUMMER
WHOEVER

The summer widowers" of Spo-
kane have "riz up" in all kinds
of righteous and unrighteous in
dignation and say that hereafter
the bathtub will be as good for
wiley as the baths in the lakes,
and ordinary soap will have to do
instead Of sea foam or mineral
water, if she don't come to peppers
assistance or appoint some
worthy substitute to keep the
house in order.
Father is sore this time-sorer
than ever before. Up until now
while the wives went to the lakes
to spend the hot weather the has
bands have quietly submitted to
staying at home and eating at rest
aurants, but they have come to the
turning point at last like the other
worm.
And if wiley could some quietly
back to town without hubby being
aware of it and slip up on him and
trail him for day, she would be
shocked to see the Bohemian exis-
tence he leads. He arises in the
morning and leaves the house with
a rush as though it were a prison,
a place to be feared and looked
upon with horroor-which is emf
nently correct in vast majority
of cases.
Then he sometimes makes a bee
line to the barkeep and says, Good
morning" after which he smacks
his lips and goes and gets his COT
fee and.
At noon it Is the same old story
maybe a visit to the barkeep-
another to his pork chops or
something and then back to work
with an extravagant cigar stuck in
his face-the strong one, by the
way, that he would not dare come
home with.
At night 4ather is a rounder. He
again makes his old acquaintances
and discovers that he is not the
only lonely" widower, but that
the acquaintance is in the same
boat. They tell each other their
woes with the usual accompani.
ment until father, when he goes
home, can't find the keyhole very
readily and tries the skylight or
cellar door.
Inside the house is fright. The
bed hasn't been made since wife
left; the floor is Uttered with old
clothes, magazines and now and
then there is an overturned chair
while tobacco smoke permeates
rooms where while WHEY was "to
hum Lady Nicotine was positively
tabooed.
And peppers face is taking on
the appearance of parchment. He
isn't used to eating the diet Of
the hit-and-miss restaurants and 1t
dont agree with his system.
The Summer Widowers' asso-
citation" for the protection of hus-
bands will take the matter under
consideration at the next meeting.

TALKS FOR
UNCLE SAM

WASHINGTON, Aug. Am en-
tirely new feature in the big gov
eminent ma chine, the departmental
press agent, has come into exis-
tence during the past few years. 1t
is growing. The reclamation serv-
ice, which has charge of gigantic
federal irrigation projects in the
west, was the pioneer.
When this work was undertaken
Its vast Importance and the millions
to be expended made 1t of national
interest But the nature of the
work, the language of it and all the
details were brand new. Director
Newell was overwhelmed by Wash
ington correspondents and others
seeking Information. 1t was hard
to find time to do any work. In
desperation, after many confer
ences on the subject, he solved the
problem by giving a newspaper
man an appointment and making
his publicity agent. 1t worked fine
for all concerned.
Clifford Pinchot followed by
placing a press agent, a former
newspaper writer, in the forestry
bureau for the diffusion of useful
information. he agriculture de-
partment is thinking of getting a
press agent to exploit its work in
intelligent fashion, and the postof-
fee department is experimenting
with copy telling about the ad-
ventures of postoffice inspectors
and other departmental affairs. The
press agents title is not officially
recognized, but he's in the service
and doing valuable work.

Asthma Sufferers Should Know.

Foley's Honey and Tar has cured
many cases of asthma that were
considered hopeless. Mrs. Adolph
Buesing, 701 West Third street,
Davenport, Iowa, writes: "A severe
cold contracted IL years ago was
neglected until 1t finally grew into
asthma. The best medical skill
available could not give me more
than temporary relief. Foley's
Honey and Tar was recommended
and one fifty cent bottle entirely
cured me of asthma which had
been growing on me for IL years.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-What are
the charities which are to go down
in history as beneficiaries of Mrs.
Russell Sage, now the richest wo-
man in the world?
Mrs. Sage has always been
known by her intimate friends as
a kindly natured woman who would
have been generous in her gifts
had she controlled the purse string
she is a woman of broad culture,
interested in all that pertains to
her own sex.

the history of the world has at the
age of 76 undertaken such a cOlos-

fronts the widow of Russell Sage.
