Boise Man Back from Islands.

G. w. Elder arrived home yester-
day from Manila, where for two
years he has been chief craftsman in
the land department office with II
men under him, all Filipinos, says
the Boise Capital News, Mr.. Elder
says that country is very hot at
times, but on the whole is not bad
place to live. While in many in'
stances the cost Of living Is low, he
stated, there are some articles which
are very high, among them being
milk, which costs nearly a dollar a
quart and meat, which is shipped in
there In cold storage from Australia.
Mr. Elder is exceedingly glad to get
home, although he is well pleased
with his experience in that country
and the development he has noticed
there. His return trip was made on
transport and only cost him $29
to San Francisco, while his trip over
cost over 800.

FIGHT WHITE RATS AT YAKIMA.
Erstwhile Household Pets Are Now a
Menace.

The once loved and petted white
rat of the household has indeed be-
come a dangerous plaything, says the
Yakima Republic. OF all the fam
lily pets domestlcated by constant in
t!mGcy with everything, in its adopt
ed home. the white rat is probably
the most intensely active and friend
ly.
Hence. at q time when dreaded
disease, the germs Of which may be
communicated from one victim to
another through the conveyance Of
the rat are epidemic, this particular
household nuisance is the most to be
Stunned.
Since Health officer Frank and the
county board Of health began to pre-
pare for cleaning up of the filthy
places in the city, especially those
hooks and crannies where the rats Sc
crete themselves and make their
nests 1t has been discovered that the
house rat, the quondam family pet or
the white kind, has sought out his
own hiding places in the debris of the
neighborhood and multiplied into a
numberless host.
These rodents are yet tame, but suf-
ficlently wild to provide for them
selves away from their former homes,
running hither and thither at will,
associating with all kinds of bad
company, gathering filth and disease
microbes in their dainty coats of fur
and scattering them about as ruth
lessly as If they intended to annihi-
late the whole human family. Be-
ware of the white rat.

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK

Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Com
mon Aches ard Ills OF Pendletor
People.
AS one weak link weakens a chain
so weak kidneys weaken the whole
body and hasten the final breaking
down.
OverwoIk. strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess Of uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills come. and there is an ever
increasing tendency towards diabetes
and fatal Bright's disease. There Is
no real help for the sufferer except
kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the kidneys and cure every kidney Ill.
Pendleton cures are the proof.
F. A. Morris, retired. who lives on
Park avenue, and Is we'll known to
Pendleton people. says: II was
troubled with my kidneys off and on
for three years. In early days. I had
worked in a shirt factory in Rock
ford, ILL.,, standing all day at bench
and later on became a motorman on
an electric car. That, too, kept me on
my feet all day and aggravated my
complaint, IL it did not start 1t. It
annoyed me through the day more
than at any other time. l finally got
a box cf Doan's Kidney Pills at the
Pen n1leton Drug Co.'S store and used
them. They cured me. I have not

ARKANSAS 4 ASTATE NEWS
Opposition to Flat Rate on Cotton.

A matter which is considered by cot ton men to be of great importance to the growers of cotton, is before the nature of a request from Pine Bluff to have fiat rate established in Ar kansas for the handling of cotton. It is asserted that a fiat rate would mean the abolishment of the concen- tration rates in existence in the state, fnasmuch as it is declared that the flat rate as a rule would be in excess of the concentration rate. It is be- lieved that the roads would refuse to maintain a low rate in the face of the higher rate.
 A concentration rate is rate where by cotton comes from the field in the bales and is shipped to point to be compressed. After compression it is reloaded and forwarded to final points of destination, such as the New Eng land mills and ports for export This permits buyer in Little Rock to se- lect staple in the field, bring it to Lit tie Rock for compression and for ward 1t to destination on certain basic points.
 A flat rate is local rate. In oper- ation it means that bale of cotton loaded at any point in the state goes to it's destination on the local rate and if reshipped from Little Rock must proceed on another local basis. In effect local rate into Little Rock and ont WOuId he a combination of two local rates, which it is declared would as rule be higher than the concentra- tion rates in. effect.

MONKS FIRST PLAYED DoMINoEs
Origin of Game That Is Popular the
 World Over.

With regard to the game of dom- inoes there Is very interesting story connected with it's origin. It runs thus: There were two monks who had been committed to the pen alty of long seclusion and were con- demned to keep absolute silence To relieve the monotony they played a game by showing each other small flat stones marked with black dots., By well-understood arrangement, the monk whose hand was used at first informed the other player by repeating in an undertone the first llne of the vesper hymn, "Cantate Domino (Sing unto the Lord). In time the monks completed the set of stones and formulated the rules of the game, so that by the time they were free to come out from theE pun ishment they had found the game so Interesting that on teaching it to the other members of the monastery it became a favorite and lawful pastime. It soon became popular all through Italy and from there extended to the whole world. The first line of the ves- per hymn which the monks had used as signal was reduced to the word domino and the name has stuck to the game ever since.

Rural Route Turned Down.

The effort on the part of the farmers in the settlement northeast of Mena to get rural free delivery has failed for the present. The postoffice inspec- tor who went over the route selected last week said that he could not recommend it's establishment on ac- count of the fact that the Washita river was not bridged at the ford where the route crossed that stream. It happened that this river was up near its high water mark when the in- spector visited Mena to look over the route, and the usually small water course looked quite dangerous, the water filling the bed of the buggy as the man drove across.

 T have a good deal of contempt for men who are not brave to the point of rashness. I am like a high wayman who held up a gasoline run about on the outskirts of Rome.
 This highwayman stopped the run about with shot in the air. Then he ran forth from the tomb that had concealed him-the hold-up happened on the Appian Way-and found, to his surprise, only woman in the little car.
 Where, madam, is your husband?" he demanded, sternly and suspiciously.
 He's under the seat she an- swered, flushing.
 '''Then,' said the highwayman, T won't take nothing. It's bad enough to have a husband like that without being robbed into the bargain

An Appropriation for State Guard

The biennial report of Charles Ja- cobson, adjutant general of the Arkan- sas State Guard, has just been com pleted and will be submitted to the legislature. He recommends that tae legislature make a larger appropria- tion than the one for the past two years and asks that the legislature pay back to the state guard fund the mon ey expended in quarantine duty year ago. He recommends that sufficient appropriation be made to provide ar mories for each company, and annual encampments for each regiment. He suggests that the legislature divide the office of private secretary to the gover- nor and adjutant general, making the office of adjutant general a separate office.

CRIED EASILY.
Nervous Woman Stopped Coffee and
 Quit Other Things.

No better practical proof that coffee is drug can be required than to note how the nerves become unstrung in women who habitually drink it.
 The stomach, too, rebels at being continually drugged with coffee and tea-they both contain the drug caffeine. Ask your doctor.
 An la. woman tells the old story thus:
 T had used coffee for six years and was troubled with headaches, nervous. ness and dizziness. In the morning upon rising used to belch up sour fluid regularly.
 Often I got so nervous and miser. able would cry without the least req son, and I noticed my eyesight was getting poor.
 After using Postum a while, I ob- served the headaches left me and soon the belching of sour fluid stopped (wa- ter brash from dyspepsia). I feel de. cidedly different now, and I am con. vinced that 1t is because I stopped coffee and began to use PoSum. can see better now, my eyes are stronger.
