GROCERS INVESTIGATE.
Alleged That Standard Oil Co. Has
Been Short Measuring.

SPOKANE.-Following numerous
complaints over short measures al
legged to have been inflicted by the
Standard Oil company upon its men,
bers in this city, the Spokane Gro
GERS association has decided to make
a thorough investigation, in which
the services of A. E. Powell, inspect
or OF weights and measures, has
ben enlisted. and prosecutions will
follow If an ordinance covering the
case can be resurrected and put into
force. Grocers complain that in
nearly every gallon can they re-
ceive there is soldered on the inside
cup of the size of an axel grease
box. meaning that each receptacle Is
pint or more snort. If the ordin-
ance can be enforced it means a fine
of IS for each violation. The CON-
pany, through it's local manager,
makes denial of the grocers' allega-
tions, declaring that the Standard
Oil interests have had plenty of
trouble from other sources and it is
not likely they would attempt any
thing like a shortage of measure as
charged by the grocers.

Moscow Men to Buy in Yakima.

0. c. CARSON, a merchant of Mos
COW, Idaho, who was arrested sew
eral days ago for having for sale in
his store apples infected with the
Goblin moth, and fined $25, has de-
dded to purchase his apples hence
forth in carload lots from North
Yakima. In this manner he will
avoid prosecution under the Idaho
law. as the North Yakima apples
will be inspected twice before reach
ing the city. The first inspection
will take place at the point of ship
ment and the other at Spokane. Ow-
ing to the vigorous enforcement of
the law by Deputy Inspector Dowdy
all other mercantile firms in Mos
COW have ceased to purchase and
more apples. Prof. Henderson OF
the Idaho state university brought
in supply from his farm and en-
deavored to dispose Of them, but
could not unless he would give a
written guarantee that they were
free from the Goblin moth and San
Jose scale. This he would not do
and had to take his apples back to
his farm.

OPEN PRIEST RIVER.
Two Hundred and Fifty Claims for
Settlement.

SPOKANE.-Two hundred and
fifty claims Of 100 acres each, in
what was until recently part Of the
Priest river forest reserve in Stevens
county, Wash, north of Spokane,
were thrown open for settlement, en-
tries being made in this city. There
were ten women in the line, among
them Mrs. c. Reed of Hatton, WASH,
IS years OF age, who was accom-
panied by her 54-year-old son. She
secured one OF the heavily timbered
tracts. Her son said:
Mother has been roughing it for
the last three weeks in the timber
belt. cooking for Is men in a camp.
Part Of the time she has been climb
ing over the hills and through the
dense underbrush looking over the
land. In some places it was neces-
sary to lower her at the end OF a long
rope from the hills, but she secured
the necessary data and with it, when
her turn came, she obtained the
quarter section she had previously
picked out. The claim is worth in
the Reighborhood OF $4,000 and we
will improve 1t at once"

FRIENDS.

There il a simple little word.
1t is the word of friend;
'Tis never loudly Boosting heard,
But of ii there's no end.
When once the tie is truly bound
With all its silver CLEANS,
Twill be as smooth and easy found
AS gliding down some stream.
It's love so placid. true, serene,
No evil thoughts are nigh
The bad Will be passed by.
When you're in trouble or distress.
Upon your friend rely;
No matter how the duties press
Your friend Will satisfy.
When all the world is dark and drear,
And even your relation
Turns hard on you a deafened ear,
Ne'er care for your salvation,
IT'S then your friend will prove his
word;
He'll stand severest test;
Nothing can break this silver cord.
He'll do his level best,
SO when the flatterers gather round
And chatter smooth and easy,
Just keep them on some common
For s'G they will go when breezy.
But have a friend or two. that help
To tide you over places,
And though your fortune brings no
wealth
You still Will have their faces.

RULES FOR HEALTH.
There's Danger Everywhere, SO Stay
at Home.

After the repeated shocks which
have been dealt to the nerves of the
public at large, the following few
simple hygienic memoranda have
been carefully prepared for the pub
lie and domestic guidance:
On Rising in the Morning.
Rule First-Don't wash or take a
bath unless you are sure the water
has been properly distilled, treated
with barium chloride and permanga-
nate of potassium, and redistllled
over X. H. s. 04, to fix any ammo
mia. If the housekeeper does not
possess this elementary chemical
knowledge, decline to wash at all,
and take an air bath.
Second-Use a new tooth brush,
or else have a fresh set of false
teeth each day - whichever you
think less dangerous.
Third-Do your hair with your
fingers; brushes and combs are dead
ly becillus traps.

This Is Worth Saving.

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to relieve any form Of
Rheumatism Or backache, also
cleanse and strengthen the Kidneys
and Bladder. overcoming all urinary
disorders. IL taken before the stage
of Bright's disease: Fluid Extract
Dandelion. one-half ounce; Com
pound Kargon, one ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsarparilla. three ounces.
Mix by shaking well in a bottle and
take In teaspoonful doses after meals
and at bedtime.
A well known authority states that
these ingredients are mainly OF veg
etable extraction. and harmless to
use. and can be obtained at small
cost from any good prescription
pharmacy. Those who think they
have kidney trouble or suffer with
lame back or weak bladder or Rheu-
matism, should give this prescrip-
ton a trial, as no harm can possibly
follow Its use, and It Is said to do
wonders for some people. 4

Kitchen Hints.

All corks should be washed,
thoroughly dried and kept for future
use.
Stew a pound of prunes with pot
roast and note the fine flavor i'm
parted to the meat.
Enameled ware that has become
burned or discolored may be cleaned
by rubbing with coarse salt and vim
egar.
A tablespoonful of lemon juice to
a quart of water will make rice very
white and keep the grants separate
when boiled.
Salt will curdle new milk, hence
in preparing milk porridge, gravies,
etc, the salt should be added last,
after cooking.
Add teaspoonful of vinegar to
every half gallon of water in which
fish is boiled and allow sufficient
water to cover the fish.
Flour cannot be too cold for pas
try or cakes, but for bread it should
be sufficiently warm to favor the
growth of the yeast plant.
A tablespoonful of borax is an
agreeable addition to the dishwater
and helps to keep the hands soft, in
stead of irritating them as soda
does.

Simple Remedies.

Instead of Cod Liver Oil.-Those
people who cannot digest cod-liver
oil will find a gill of raw cream
taken at night very beneficial.
For Hoarseness.-lf you are
hoarse. lemon juice squeezed into
soft sugar till it is like syrup, and
a few drops of glycerine added, re-
lieves the hoarseness at once.
Hot Hands.-There are variety
of recipes for this trouble, but this
one is the best: Place about tea
spoonful of alum in the water you
wash the hands in. Afterward
sprinkle with rice powder, which
you can procure of any druggist.
Sore Threats and young
children with sore threats" should
be given occasional sips of a mix
ture of teaspoonful of borax in d
wineglassful of glycerine. The gly-
cerine lubricates the throat, and
borax is a frst-class antiseptic for
all throat conditions.
For Insomnia.-If you are
troubled in this way, try drinking a
glass of hot milk after getting into
bed. sip it very slowly as hot as
possible. Some people like pinch
of sugar or salt in it. Hot milk has
soothing effect on the nerves, and
helps to induce sleep.
\ Simple Corn Cure.-Bathe the
feet we'll in hot water for thirty min
utes every third night (every night

any cutting instrument on them.
After bathing and rubbing off horny
substance, apply a small piece of

vention savoring of magic but In NO
way dependent upon electricity OF
any agent supplying heat. The de.
vice is simply a bottle, set In a prac-
tical and presentable case, which will
keep its contents at the same tenn
perature as when filled for a priod
Of twenty-four hours.
Coffee stays hot and lemonade
cold, no matter where the bottle is
carried and regardless of weather
changes. The secret lies in the fact
that the bottle rests in a vacuum
which prevents changes Of tempera-
ture by radiation.
Combination dishes are a great
convenience, says Modern Housekeep-
ing and Food News. Relish dishes
have separate compartments for diff
ferent kinds Of cold cuts, relishes,
etc. Covered vegetable dishes may
be separated into twin dishes. Silver
holders are offered for the plank on
which fish or steak is served and for
pudding dishes hot from the oven.
An ingenious and simple contriv-
ance is that Of nickel plated alum
mum tongs for an invalid's use. These
tongs are of lattice work which closes
and opens after the manner of a
ferryboat gate.
A gentle pressure causes the lat
tice to spring out fully eighteen inch
es long and in the hand may be d.
rected by an invalid toward any ar
ticle. book or newspaper within the
reach at that distance. Another
slight pressure causes the ends to
close like pair of tongs over the
desired object, which is then easily
drawn up to comfortable handling.
Where patient is not allowed to
make any exertion this invention
proves boon indeed. The lightness
of the tongs is an added aid in pre-
serving strength.
For the unforeseen but always re-
current emergency there is a combin-
alton of small steel tools. set side by
side in Tyre shaped steel frame
which is in reality the handle for
each one of the tools. The whole
combination may lie in mans hand
and be slipped into an overcoat peck
ct with no perceptible increase OF
| weight.
In the set there are two sizes Of
screwdrivers, two sets of gimlets, a
pick which can be used to break ice
and is equally handy to remove stones
from horses shoe, wire pincers
and corkscrew. A still more nu-
merous collection of the same order
OF small tools is arranged in cross
rows upon a fiat leather strap that
rolls up like a diminutive carryall
teither to be put into coat pocket
or handbag scissors and knives be-
ing feature OF this useful medley,
to suit any emergency.

On Going to Business.

Rule Firt-Refuse all change that
may be offered you by street car con-
ductOrs, etc. If you do not care to
lose such sums, insist on having new
ly minted coins handed you, wrapped
up in sterilized cotton.
Second-If you are compelled to
go to refreshment stand, take your
own filter, glassware and crockery
with you, also assorted repartees
to any comments made by the bar
keeper.
Third-Stay, If possible, at home.
