Municipal Ownership Pays.

For several months the town of
Harrington has been operating the
public water system there having
purchased it for $4,000 from
private parties. The Harrington
Citizen gives the following report
of how it is working:
The unsatisfactory condition that
prevailed prior to the taking over
of the water system, by the city, is
we'll known to every one. The
town was in a turmoil all the time
since the city took over the plant
it has been run in most satisfact-
'ory manner. The people have had
all the water necessary for all pur-
poses, at rates as low as the average
rates charged in other towns.
After paying all expenses and
making some improvements the
system has earned a surplus of near
ly 81 POO, which shows that it is a
paying proposition for the city.

ENGLAND Postal Banks.

Postal savings banks, as oper-
ated in England, were started in
1861 by the advice of Mr.. Gladstone,
who advocated thrift among the
class of wage earners who keep no
account at the bank, and whose
savings are of the smallest.
In forty five years the postal de-
positors in England and Wales had
grown to over 100000 with saw
ings of 1862, 900, 900. The postal
deposits in Scotland, Ireland, Can
ada, Australia and the British COL
onies amounted to 1915, 900, 900
more.
Other countries that have postal
savings department are France,
Austria Hungary, Italy Swe'el and
Belgium. One of the principal
values of the postal savings plan is
that, given a book, the man who is
saving may buy stamps at and near
est post-office and past them in his
book.
They are then Cancelled and the
amount of their face value is credit
ed to the saver when he presents his
book. In England no man may de-
post more than $3.50 at once, the
system being entirely designed for
the benefit of the poor

Christmas, Windows.

The Christmas window displays
in the stores were very attractive
and beautiful. Whitelock had
rich and valuable display Of
diamonds, watches and cutglass
arranged in a luxurious way around
a miniature Christmas tree. Mrs.
and Miss Kolb arranged a most
striking display by representing a
snow storm and snow covered build
ings, depicting a winter scene which
made the down casters eyes
sparkle with recollections. Ash
baugh's large windows showed off
well and the toy railroad in operat-
ion there with. it's real switches"
held the longing gaze Of many a
youngster during the week. Phil
Bier worked up a good display of
fire arms and other articles in the
hardware line. His group of monks
at the card table attracted more
than a passing glance. At the
Kennewick Market Mrs. Dircksen
had most tempting display of the
different meats and relishes tastily
arranged on china and garnished
with green stuff which stimulated
the appetite of the passerby. Many
others had credible displays show
ing that they were mindful OF
holiday season and responsive to
the Christmas spirit.

Watching the Year Out.

Throughout the world the practice of
watching the old year out and the
new come in has been a common OBJ
servance for many centuries. In the
monasteries and converts of various
religious orders it has always pre-
vailed, and several Protestant denom-
nations observe it as a beneficial in
stitution, promoting, as it does, piety
and the formation of good resolutions.
Resolves for the future are not limited
to our own time, for nearly 1900 years
ago Pliny. the scrapbook maker, noted
in his quaint fashion the return Of the
Saturnalia; made a memorandum that
during the coming year he must make
sacrifices to certain gods whom he had
neglected and that in other ways he
must amend his life. There is no rec
ord that he did. so his New Year
resolutions were probably forgotten
as quickly as those made nowadays

Meat is the Only Food.

The peanut diet, the man who
upholds sauerkraut as the panecea
Of all stomachic ills, the exponents
of herbaceous living Of all kinds,
receive body blow in a bulletin
Just issued by the United States
department of agriculture. The
bulletin was prepared by DR.. H. S.
Grindley, professor of general chem
istry at the University of Illinois,
and shows that all kinds of meat
are more easily digested and more
completely assimilated than any
other class of food.
The bulletin, No. 1913, is one of
the most sensational ever issued by
the federal authorities and recounts
a series of experiments DR.. Grindley
conducted on "digestive squad"
Of which he himself was a member
and which was fashioned after DR..
Wiley's famous poison squad" at
Washington. DR.. Grindley, how
ever, went farther than his official
colleague. for he confirmed his ex-
pertinent on human subjects by II
elaborate series of laboratory tests.
The net result is to dethrol e
bread as the staff of life and set UP
the toothsome beefsteak and succu-
lent pork chop in its place, for he
says the protein in meat is much
more thoroughly digested than that
in vegetable foods. But this is by
no means all, for, according to the
doctor, the degree and kind of work
a man does makes no difference to
the ease with which he can digest a
meat diet. The clerk confined to a
desk from sunup to sundown, the
society belle, lounging on a sofa the
livelong day and the navy, toiling
with pick and shovel from morning
to night, are placed in the same
category and each is frankly told
that meat and plenty of it in all
forms and cooked in all manner
of ways is best calculated to build
up his wasted tissues and give him
day by day the strength needed fol
his own peculiar task.

Average collected per phone was
81. 80 per month. The long distance
phone rent amounted to S12 to S14
per month. On the side of expend-
itures the salary account showed an
expense of s1O71. This was allow
ing the manager $50 per month
salary, two central girls at $50 per
month and S171 wages paid to line
men etc. Other miscellaneous eX-
penditures carefully in the state
ment brought the total expenditures
up to s15S6.15. Deducting this
from S1743 the total receipts left a
balance of s157 profits for operating
the system. On this showing they
asked a raise of rates from the Coun-
ell. The Company has also filed a
statement of the telephone rentals
in other towns showing that none
were lower and most of them were
higher than the Company was gett-
l1e here. Mayor johnson also
spoke from the standpoint of the
Council and number of members
of the Club spoke briefly. At the
close of the discussion Mr.. Lundy
withdrew his motion with the con-
sent of the second.

 they greeted her Miss Bell Is a splen- did worker and her interpretation of the part of Georgiana Carley was a fine one. The work of the entire cast was excellent; to speak particularly of the best would be to give each one individual mention The stage set of | each act is especially good in this play, and some god gowns are worn by the women.

The annual tour of Pryor and His Soloists will bring this splendid musi- cal attraction to this city at the Hy- perion, Thursday matinee and night, October r. The event will be of espec- ial interest to all classes of music lov- CTS, and the seating capacity of the theater promises to be taxed to the utmost. The fame of MT. Pryor and His Soloists has spread all over the continent, and the organization may now be justly, regarded as nothing short of a national institution. Pryor's solos alone are sufficient attraction to insure a large audience, but consider ed in conjunction with such renowned artists, as those by which MT. Pryor has surrounded himself.
 It is a distinct privilege that our cit izens, numbering as they do so many lovers of really good music, are to be
