A NEGLECTED DUTY.
1t Is Quite Plain That Observance Of the
Mandate Of the Law Would Result
in Much Good.

EDITOR STANDARD:
The question now agitated about
the saloonkccpers observing the
Sunday law, leads us to look in other
directions. When we find high Off
cialS in the same boat, you cannot
expect the average citizen to be much
different from his political masters.
Placing such an example before him
makes the individual careless about
his respect for the law. To make my
position clear, ! will quote from Ar
ticle w of our State Constitution:
SEC. 25. Superior judges shall, on or
before the first day of November in each
year. report in writing to the judges of
the Supreme Court such defects and
omissions in the laws as their eXper-
fence may suggest, and the Judges of
the Supreme Court shall, on or before
the first day OF January in each year, re-
port in writing to the Governor such de-
fects and omissions in the laws as they
may believe to exist.
Court and every Judge of the Superior
SOuIt Sidii, Dcloic cHttIluS upOu ttic
duties of his Office. take and subscribe
an oath that he will support the Consti-
tuition of the United States and the Con-
stituiion of the State of Washington, and
will faithfully and impartially discharge
the duties of Judge to the best of his
ability, which oath shall be filed in the
office of the Secretary of State.
Now the above provisions are sig
niticant. Judges are presumed to
observe the law according to their
Oaths. See how nearly these sec
tions are together. Now it is gen
orally understood that no Judge in
the State follows the mandates of
Section % in reporting the defects
in Onr laws which would prevent
many Legislative and judicial blum
ders. How our judiciary can comply
with Section 2S and neglect to OBJ
serve the provisions of the other Sec
ton 25 is hard to determine. Will
we ever see written opinion on the
subject?
A salOon-keeper does not take any
oath to support the constitution; nor
does he pretend to tell others from
any official station what they must
do to be good citizens. He pays his
license money and tries to live like
other men. HERMAN TOTTERICH.

Baked Hams.

If housewives only knew how much
better hams are when baked instead
of being boiled until the juices are all
extracted, the practice would be more
common. In boiling, much of the
nutriment is drawn out into the
liquor in which it is cooked. and the
meat becomes dry and stringy. In
baking these juices are kept in, rs
the -four paste hardens on the out
side, and you have an object lesson
of good cooking.
Cover the entire ham with stiff,
thick paste of flour and water, put Il
very little water in the baking pan
to keep it from sticking at first, and
baste it occasionally while cooking.
Five hours will bake a medium ham
in a moderate oven. When done the
skin will be easily pulled off with the
Drowned paste, then cover thickly
with bread crumbs, and return to
the oven long enough to brown it
nicely.
Never attempt to slice ham while
hot, and never against the grain.
Properly baked ham is Il delicious. as
well as an economical meat, and it
has the merit of being ready for in
slant use in case of unexpected com
pany at a late hour.

A DISASTROUS POLICY.-Lumber-
men claim that the advance of rate
made by railroads on lumber freight
to the Eastern markets will result in
a loss of at least fifty million dollars.
1t is estimated that the decrease will
be 80, 900 carloads annually, to pro-
duce which requires the services of
32 900 men. and that the annual loss
will be SIG, 600, 900 to the railroads, or
about two-thirds the entire Operat-
ing expenses of the Northern Pacific
railway. These figures are startling
but reliable, being based upon re-
ports made to the Pacific Coast
Lumber Manufacturing Association
by hundreds of retail lumber deal
ers in the States east of Washington,
who state just how much their pur-
chasers of lumber and shingles have
been annually, and the probable de-
crease thereof in event the new rate
goes into effect.

LETTER TO PORTER DAVIS.
Okolona, Miss.

Dear Sir: The easiest way we
knowof to make a little money is-if
you're going to paint-to paint with the
paint that takes least gallons,
Take a small job; say it takes 10
gallons Devoe, two coats. that's an av-
erage house. When the job is done
and the bill comes-in, it ig $50; the
paint etc S17.50; the rest is for labor
and oartgage, the labor is fixing the
surface, shifting ladders scaEolds pull
Ieys and ropes and, brnshing-on paint
Take another job exactly like that;
try another paint; it takes IL gallons
The bills $40 more. Take another
exactly the same; another paint; il
takes 20 gallons. The dill is $lOO.
There is only one Devoe; there's q
dozen 12-gaIlon paints, and one hun
dred that take 20 gallons to cover a
10 gallon job.
The only difficulty is in 6nding-out
Devoe. After that you save work;
theirs less work in III than in IL OF
20 gallons; less paint to buy and less
10 brush-on and less wager to pay.
If Devoe we're only little better
han others, there'd be some difficulty
in Gnding-out the difference. 1t goes
twice as far as half the paints; that
auoht to be easy,
1t wears longer to. You'll wait q
good while, if you wait to 6nd-out how
long it wears; there are thousands ol
people who know that the least-gallons
paint wears longest.
Yours truly

ASK US TO PRINT 1T.

To relieveethe worst forms of Rheu-
matism, take teaspoonful of the fol-
lowing mixture after each meal and at
bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kareon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Larsaparilla, three
ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists, and
are easily mixed by shaking them we'll
in a bottle. Relief is generally felt
from the first few doses.
This prescription, states a we'll
known authority in a Cleveland marn-
ing paper, fprces the cloeged-up. mac
tive kidneys to filter and strain from
the blood the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid, which causes Rheuma-
tism.
AS Rheumatism is not only the most
painful and torturous disease. but dan
gerous to life, this simple recipe will
no doubt be greatly valued by many
Sufferers here at home, who should at
once prepae- the mixture to get this re-
lief.
1t is said that a person who would
take this prescription regularly. a dose
or two daily, or even few times a
week. Would never have serious
Kidney or urinar6 disorders or Rheu-
matism.
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which real
