BOND ELECTION
Adopt New System for Voters
on Fire Station Question

To bond, or not to bond, will be
the question which the legal voters of
the city of Walla Walla will decide on
Tuesday, April 16. An ordinance was
passed at the city council meeting yes
terday evening providing for a special
election on that date to decide wheth-
er 100000 bonds should be issued for
the building of new city hall and fire
station for strictly municipal purposes
In the discussion of the details of
the ordinance the point was brought
out by City Attorney Blandford that
the voter in marking his ballot should
be careful to notice that the manner of
doing this was different from that fol-
lowed in ordinary elections.
The question to be submitted is
shall the city of Walla Walla, for
said strictly municipal purposes, bor-
bonds therefor? Bonds, Yes. Bonds,
No.
How to Vote.
The instructions to voters to be
printed on the ballot are: I'm voting
this ballot, strike out by running your
pencil through, either the words Bonds
Yes or the words Bonds, No. so
that the remaining words will express
your vote on said question"
1t is important that the voters shall
understand that they must not use
the cross CX) in marking the ballot
but must scratch out the words they
don't wish to use to show how they
vote. An "X' will not vote anything
One of the propositions, "bonds, yes"
or bonds, no." must be run through
with the lead pencil. In other words,
the voter who wants to vote "bOnds,
yes" will scratch out the words "bonds
no." and then the remaining words
will show how he votes.

MUSKOGEE,
A People's University.

The magnificent building of the Car.
negie Institute of Pittsburg, which has
just been dedicated in the presence of
representatives of foreign govern
ments and men of learning from all
over the world Is memorial and
tribute to human aspiration. 1t is not
accident, but significant and natural
thing that this great peoples universi-
ty should rise in the heart of the roar
ing. grimy Birmingham Of America.
Here the great fortune of the donor
was in large part made Here are the
men who helped him make it. Here
he, too, in his youth, worked with
head and hands, and felt that insatiate
thirst for knowledge and light which
the new institute will help to satisfy.
To this day Mr.. Carnegie holds in
grateful memory the person. who
helped him by such small favors as
the loan of a single book. The Car
negie Institute embraces five great de-
partments: the library, with a quarter
of million volumes; the museum con
tanning one OF the finest natural his
tory collections in the world; the art
gallery, with its annual international
jury and generous prizes; the music
hall, where the best work of great
composers has an adequate presenta-
ton; and the great group of technical
schools, for admission to which 10000
students have already applied. 1t
would be unjust to overlook the cour-
age and the far-sighted generosity of
the city of Pittsburg in building up
the institute, says the Youths Com.
panion Every offer which Mr.. Car
negie has made has been met halfway
by the municipality, and every step
his philanthropy has advanced has
been promptly paralleled by the city
Skilled workmen and the great indus
tries in which they are engaged have
made Pittsburg one of the great
American cities. The Carnegie lnsti
tute will help to place it among the
great educational and artistic and
musical centers. Although its physical
atmosphere is dark and smoky, its
mental outlook is bound to be clear
wholesome and invigorating.

wooden block is about "a inches long

of laying the paper on fiat surface

ZEAL WITHOUT COMMON SENSE.
Striking Example Related by the Late
DR.. Field.

A Presbyterian clergyman was
praising the late Or. Henry Martin
Field OF Stockbridge, who for A
years edited the Evangelist
"Dr. Field did so much good" he
said, because he went about his
work automatically, sensibly reason
ably. / once heard him declare that
reformers failed often because the
moment they started a reform they
dropped common sense. Common
sense was swallowed up in zeal. He
said that a nerve cure faddist once
entered shop and leading the pro-
prietor to one side whispered mys-
teriously: 'Ah, my friend, you can
do the race untold good II you will
only take the agency for our anti
tea preparation. II Is warranted to
cure In week the most confirmed
and nerye-racked tea tippler. Never
again
But the dealer laughed and drew
away. You have made a mistake
he said. Il can't take such an agency
as that. Don't you see that this Is
a teashop?'
"'Oh, no mistake said the reform
er eagerly. 1t is because you run
a teashop that | have sought you out.
You come into constant contact with
the very people we are trying to
reach"

The Evolution of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine busi-
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives nd tonics, were to be
found in almost ev cry house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulae for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the Begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, inn
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
tacture it on large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
Cld-time remedies. 1t was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna Is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally, THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and it's value in the
treatment of these ailments. They

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in thousand APP
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing train of very
annoying and sometimes pc ainful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in a deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this peri O d
likely to become active and with a
host of nervous irritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of sutfocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of inn
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
Irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this great
change may be expected.
