That part of the committees report

tary conditions the farm can be read1ly

thing to be observed; frequent washing or

The conference this afternoon was devoted
chiefly to the reading and discussion OF the
report, which Is looked upon as one OF the
most complete and valuable treatises on

FINE FOR COMPLEXION.

OF all the marks Of beauty a good
complexion is the most desirable
and yet the easiest to attain.
A sallow skin and dull eyes are
the direct result Of faulty diges-
ton, on which subject we quote
from an interview Of q prominent
metropolitan physician who has a
practice amongst the nations aris-
tocracy. He says: Dyspepsia, in
digestion and defective bowel ac-
ton probably cause more ills than
many Of the more serious diseases
combined, and yet by simple
course Of treatment this most UNI
desirable condition can be relieved
and cured. First of all, relieve the
stomach Of it's burden by using a
digestive that will give the organs
a complete rest and restore their
vitality. For this the following
prescription will be found to work
wonders: 'Catandir Compound, one
ounce; Essence Of Pepsin, two
ounces; Syrup of Ginger, three
bottle and use In doses Of from one
to two tablespoonfuls after each
meal and also at bedtime for the
first few days, The ingredients
can be secured at any good drug
store. By following up this treat
ment, the rose of health will soon
be restored to the pallid cheek and
glitter Of happiness shine from the
eyes," ~.
Coming from such high authority,
the above advice is well worth fol-
lowing.

A REMARKABLE MONTH
STATEMENT BY PROF. e. B. GAR
RIoTI AS TO APRIL.

Prof Edward B. Garriott. forecaster of
the weather bureau, in statement Of the
freakish weather conditions in the month
just closed, said:
April. 1907, with an average temperature
Of 1875 degrees. was the coolest April ex-
perienced in Washington during the last
thirty-two years, April. 1874. and April.
1875, with averages Of 47.6 and 48 degrees,
respectively, being the only Aprils on rec
ord with average temperature below 80 de-
grees at Washington. The lowest tenn
perature reached in Washington last month
was 70 degrees, on the I'd, and the highest,
80 degrees, on the 28th. The lowest April
temperature ever recorded for this place is
22 degrees. and the highest 90 degrees.
The total precipitation for April, 1907, was
slightly in excess of the average for pre-
ceding years.
Freezing Temperature and Snow.
The month as a whole was a remarkable
one from the Rocky mountains to the At
lantic coast, and was undoubtedly one Of
the coolest, If not the coolest, Aprils in the
history Of the weather bureau generally
over that region. Freezing temperature and
snow were frequently reported in the north
western and middle-western states, and the
month closed with freezing weather as far
south as northwestern Texas
Although temperatures are recovering
slowly over the western country there is
no immediate prospect Of warm weather
TOT this locality. On the contrary, tonight
Will be decidedly colder, and Thursday
morning will show reading 20 degrees or
more lower than this mornings reading,
and minimum Of about 40 degrees as
compared with 81 degrees Wednesday
morning. The weather will be slow to clear
up. but the clouds should break away by
Thursday. After Thursday morning the
temperature will moderate slowly"

CAN'T GET TO MARKET
LUMBERMEN COMPLAIN OF THE
RAILWAYS

Amended complaint has been made be-
fore the interstate commerce commission
by the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufactur-
ers' Association, the Southwestern Wash
ington Lumber Manufacturers Association
and the Single Mill Bureau against the
Great Northern Railway Company and
nineteen other defendant railroads. This
promises to be an extensive case. In the
original complaint 123 defendants were
named, but at the suggestion of the COM
mission the number was cut down to
twenty. The complainant associations rep
resent an immense output of lumber. There
are in the western part of the state of
Washington AT saw mills, with an output of
1890, 100000 feet board measure annually.
These are all represented by the first two
complainants; the third represents the
single interests, which have 452 miils. with
a combined output Of IA, 100000 shingles
annually.
The trouble alleged by the complainants
Is that they are being held up by the rail-
roads. which refuse to make through rates
or exchange cars from the roads within the
states of Washington and Oregon to points
east. 1t Is claimed there are 25,OO0 carloads
Of forest products now tied up in the state
goods could be shipped to It. The complaint
declares that there areeavailable 90, 600, O0O, :
600 feet of standing timber in western
Washington, and that the total number of
car shipments of lumber, shingles and
forest products in the western part of the
state Is not less than 10000 a year. The
principal markets that the producers want
to reach ands which they claim they are
shut out Of by the railroads are in Col
orado, Kansas, Nebraska. Utah, Idaho and
Wyoming. They claim that the defendant
roads refuse to route cars through Port
land, which Is the natural gateway of the
traffic, and refuse to make joint through
rates, forcing the loading and unloading of
the cars at Portland, with an additional
charge for the same, and bringing the total
cost Of the shipments up to such point as
to make the cost prohibitive. Other prac-
tees are complained of, including that of
charging minimum carload weight against
a car Of lumber greatly in excess Of the
amount it Is possible to crowd into the car.

In spite of the opportunities for bud ding football officials at the home of Yale, it now seems certain that only a single New Havener-Talcott B. Hull has as yet applied for registration as football official with the central rules committee. Usually Dr. Samuel M. Hammond, the old Yale halfback. has oficiated in many games at Yale, Wesleyan or Trinity, but he stated last night that he had not yet been regis tered and so cannot expect assignments for games unless his name is acted up- on by the central rules committee, fa- vorably after the time for selecting officials has closed.
 A copy of the full list of the offio- ia1s chosen by the central board was sent out this week and that of Doe" Hull was the only New Havener, al- though many Yale former players in different parts of the country were in- cluded
 A special meeting of the central board has been called for this evening in New York city. All the officials who have registered have been invited to be present and all who can possibly do so will attend, They will be ex- plained the charges in the new rules and will receive careful instructions in their detailed application Doc'' Hull is planning to attend the meeting.
