THE WORTHLESS BILLBOARD.
Campaign Being Made to Do Away
With the Unsishtly Nuisance.

Every once I'm a while the billboard
gets jumped on with both feet. Just
now it is receiving this treatment in
California newspapers. This is what
the San Francisco Post has to say:
aside from esthetic considerations.
the advertising billboard is not a good
investment for those who use 1t to en-
cresencc on the natural beauties of
the city. Originally the big, flariIE,
gaudy poster was the principal an
nouncement of the travelling circus
1t was pasted on the roadside barn
to attract the attention of the gasp
ing yokel and the farmers barefooted
youngsters. 1t was never intended to
appeal to men and women of sense
and good Judgment for the pictures
were impossible, the color tawdry,
and the reading matter bombastic
and flamboyant.
"All civilized communities except
San Francisco have abolished the bill
board or banished it to the outer sub
urbs of the cities. Only in San Fran
cisco is the prospect marred by the
flaring, glaring, oftentimes indecent.
billboard advertisement. Citizens of
San Francisco are so accustomed to
the billboard that they do not notice
the excresence on the natural beauties
of the city.
The town is SO completely plaster
ed that the people have become OBJ
livious to the presence of the nuisance,
The advertisements attract no more
attention than would the bare boards
on which they are pasted. Strangers,
however. arriving from other cities,
where the billboard is prohibited, no.
tice and comment on this evidence
of our provincialism, expressing their
scorn and disgust in terms that would
shame even the advertisers into can
ceiling their billboard contracts If
they could hear them.
The billboard does not advertise the
merchant whose advertisement is thus
Haunted, but it advertses San Fran
cisco; 1t is not a good advertisement;
1t is an advertisement of the fact that
we are still in the adolescent period
of our civic progress-one short step
in advance of the dodo age"

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins childs disposi-
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
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, " the blues" Sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, SO that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound !;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
tion than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.

A noncommissioned officer, entering a
barrack gate in Dublin. was mistaken
by the fresh one" on sentry go, who
Immediately saluted him. The nom
commissioned officer, unaware that his
colonel was just behind returned the
salute, thing not permissible under
the circumstances. Arrived at his
quarters, he was surprised to find an
order for him to attend before the colo
mel. On presenting himself he was
asked how he came to return the sa-
lute knowing full well he was not en-
titled to 1t. Not in the least embar-
rassed, he promptly answered, "Sir,
always return everything am not en-
titled to-" The colonel, taken aback by
his ready wit, laughingly dismissed
him.

ENGINE RAN AWAY.
Exciting Experience on the y. y.
Near Wallula.

y runaway engine dashed along the
line of the Northern Pacific between
Pasco and Wallula this morning.
without engineer or fireman to guide
its reckless speed, created no end Of
excitement before it was finally cap
tured midway between the two points
without doing any damage.
The engine was standing in the
Pasco yards with full steam up while
the engineer and fireman were at
tending to other duties. Suddenly the
engine, from SOME unknown cause.
started down the track toward Hunts
junction.
There was no other engine handy
to pursue the runaway and orders
were hastily telegraphed to Hunts to
turn the switch and run the engine
onto the high line toward Pendleton.
Between Hunts and Pasco, how
ever, there is a slight grade and as
the engine slowed up somewhat sec
ton hand boarded her ard shut off
steam. The runaway was then re-
turned to Pasco none the worse for
the adventure.
