How to Select a Stove or Range.

To select a perfect stove or range,
first, examine carefully large assort-
ment of styles until you find one that
pleases you; second, remember that all
stoves and ranges may look very much
alike but there is a vast difference IN
their wearing and service qualities;
third to make sure that the stove or
range you do purchase is one that will
last for years and give absolutely salts
factory service, buy direct from the
manufacturer and have 1t shipped direct
from his factory; fourth, don't pay two
prices for a stove or range. Buy direct
from the factory of a reliable hrm-a
factory with millions behind 1t, and
then their guarantee means something,
fifth, if any Of our readers want to pur-
ing season, a word of suggestion will
be SUFFICIENT. Write direct to the Hoosier
Stove Co., Factory 23e State street,

the commission dealers

effect among the commission dealers
on the street.
In the matter of prices it is shown,
by comparative figures, that the phe-
nomenal advance in the cost of prod
uce to the consumer in 1907 over the
quotations of 1906 have been stimuli
taneous and corresponding all over the
Puget Sound country; in fact, all over
the Pacific coast. Quotations from
Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and San
Francisco papers were given in sup
port of this contention.
The matter of individual complaints
as to poor treatment received by the
producer from the commission man is
shown to be due, in most cases, to in
ferior packing and grading by the
consignor, who had sent in stock be-
low the standard the commission man
had a right to expect and much in
ferior to the goods for which the top
prices were paid.
1t is pointed out, too, that the fla
grant cases of mistreatment of the
farmer have been perpetrated by COM
mission men who were not members
of the Seattle Produce association, but
who had contrived to gain the conf

Queer The Importance of proper grad
ing and packing of fruits and produce,
which has been a favorite theme OF
the commission man for years, is en-
phasized as explaining the difference
in prices received for two consign-
ments of the same variety of fruit or
vegetable, one of which was capably
and the other carelessly handled after
it was picked.
In general, the high price of COM
modities is attributed to the failure
of the supply of produce to keep pace
with the demand, which has grown
phenomenally. In the instance sof
fruits, strawberries and raspberries,
in particular, it was pointed out that
the influence of the cannery compe-
tition for the fruit, this year felt more
strongly than ever before, is respon-
sible for keeping the price of the ber-
ries up above 81 per crate, where they
have frequently gone in past years.
The commission man, it is stated,
would not sell berries for less than
S1.75 per crate where he had a stand
ing offer from the Gamer for all his
surplus at $1.75. The cannery, it is
stated, went farther than that. This

year it went beyond the commission
men and bought directly, in large
quantities, from the producer.
The report was lengthy document
and cannot be published here in full.
The conclusions reached, however, are
important, and are as follows:
"From the foregoing facts, your
committee has been unable to reach
any conclusion other than that the
charges of a combination on Western
avenue detrimental to consumers and
producers alike, are without founda-
ton in fact. Such a combination, If
it were attempted, besides being I'M
lawful, would be absolutely futile in
an effort to control prices.
"The market and the demand are
too widespread.
'In addition to legal protection af-
forded the shipper against having his
produce dumped unless it is certified
as unfit for sale, no reason that would
appeal to a sound business man has
been suggested to show the advantage
to the dealer himself of dumping fruit
or vegetables away from market like
Seattle when the dealers profits vary
in accordance with the volume OF bust
HESS lie uOS0
"The newspaper attacks have voiced
complaints by producers. No doubt
there is often foundation for dissatis-
faction in individual cases. But every
wholesaler or commission man having
as customer a producer who pre-
pares his produce properly for the
market, counts on the patronage OF
that shipper as one of his most valu-
able assets; therefore, he will do what
he can to satisfy this customer and
retain his business. Few, if any, COM
plants, so far as your committee has
learned, have come from careful pro-
ducers and shippers.
"In this as in every other line of
business, some INSCRIPTIONS men are
engaged. In view, however, OF the
efforts which have been made to- con-
vey the idea that the Seattle COM
mission men and produce dealers are
all dishonest and form a band of or
ganized robbers standing between the
producer and the consumer, it is but
just to these merchants to say that
the large majority of them are ener-
getic Straightforward, reliable citizens
and business men. If they were not,
they could not have built up the vol
ume of business they now have and
could not have made Seattle, with

Fruit Inspector Lape, of Benton

and vines were set out in the country
around Prosser during the season just

were brought across the river from
Oregon and were uninfected. Mr..
Lape estimates that there will be at

FOOD JUSTIFICATION.

The claims of MT. Horace Fletch- CT and Professor Chittenden of Yale university, in regard to the effectiveness of thorough mastica- tion of food in restoring perverted appetite to normal instincts. are corroborated by Professor Irving Fisher of Yale university in the report just issued describing one o1 series of experiments he is con ducting. This report of Professor Fishers shows that nine healthy Yale students who participated ill the experiment. doubled their work ing power physically and increased their mental capacity by strict at tention to thorough mastication of food and obedience to the dictates of appetite. Under the chewing regime the appetite gradually called for less and less meat and other high-protend foods.
 The report of another experi- ment, which was with forty-nine fiesh-eaters and flesh abstainers, has already been made public, and showed that those who either ab- stained from meat altogether or ate it sparingly had greater en- durance than those who ate meat in the ordinary quantities.
 Professor Fisher is an economist and not a physiologist, and is mak- ing these studies solely to get at the practical truth as to what the factors are which induce fatigue, for it is fatigue which sets the limit to the days output of a man.
 Professor Fisher is still engaged in his Investigations, and other reports are to follow.

THE WEATHER.

There is little consolation to be de- rived from the reports from Washing ton that the present unreasonable weather is general all over the coun- try. While misery might extract lit tie comfort from company, in the pres ent instance the fact that there are millions of other sufferers does not help much All sorts of theories are being advanced to tell us why the air is raw and the skies cloudy, but they do not take the place of warm sun shine and balmy breezes.
 The weather department appears to be imbued with the chilly spirit of the occasion, for no hope is held out to chatering humanity that summer is near or even on the way. There isn't any summer anywhere. unless it is be- meath the drearily clear sun of South ern California, and by the time any of us got out there the heat would be peeling the bark from the melancholy
 
 Horned toad would be panting in the pafpitating desert.
 When We inquire of the weather eX- perts what is the trouble with the climatic machinery we are told that "the high areas of pressure have moved eastward from the northern portion of the country almost continuouslyaand these have caused cold north winds. Perhaps learned persons can under- stand that explanation, but it. is mighty unsatisfactory to shivering hu- manity that does not know a high area of pressure from a common gar den whirlwind. All they know is that it cold and wet and desolate and that they wish they could have a few really warm days before it is time to start the furnaces for next winter. ::

FAD OF WILL MAKING.
