ness follows the BRUSH" 1t is best
to use the color nearest that OF the
old finish.
WINDOW and DOOR screehs

each spring, using the Brilliant Black
for the wire, and the Mahogany, Oak,
Cherry or Walnut on the frames. 1t
gives them new lie and the wire
cloth Is protected from rust.
PORCH FURNITURE should be
protected and beautified each spring
with Jap-a-Lac. 1t is best to use
the color OF the old finish; but il you
wish to change the color use Red or
Green Jap-a Lac.
WICKER FURNITURE coated
with Mahogany, Ox-Blood Red, Nal.
achite Green or Gloss White Jap-a-
Lac looks better than new.
WATER PIPES, furnace fronts,

NO MORE TREATS
FOR KELSO PEOPLE.
WASHINGTON TOWN STARTS
ANTI-TREATING MOVE.
Ironclad Pledge Prevents Members OF
Society From Treating or Accept
ing Treats From Others-Thought
to Be sure Forerunner OF Prohi-
bltlon Although Not Prohibition
list Movement.

What is considered to be one OF
the surest cures for drunkenness yet
adopted anywhere has just been ini-
tiated in Kelso, Wash, In the forma-
ton of an anti-treatlng society whose
members pledge themselves to not
treat another nor to accept a treat
from another.
While the movement has not been
started among the prohibitionists, 1t
is still considered the forerunner of
prohibition as but few regular drink
ers will go to a saloon to drink alone.
The society is backed by the solid
business men Of the little town and
already contains large membership.
A regular ironclad pledge is signed
and the society has every earmark
Of q permanent and successful organ
ization.
The pledge signed by the members
and so far sacredly observed by all is
as follows:
We, the undersigned, do hereby
agree to associate ourselves together
for the purpose OF forming an Anti
Treating society in the town of Kelso,
Cowlltz county, Washington. And we
do hereby promise and agree that We
will not treat any person or persons
to any cigars, liquor, soda, lemonade
or any other beverage kept for sale
at any drinking saloon, confectionery
store or any other place where cigars,
liquors or any drinks of any kind are
kept for sale; that we will not per-
nit any person to buy US any cigars,
liquors or tobacco; that we are in IA
vor of every person buying his own
cigars and we agree that IL we have
not the price we will dispense with
the drink.
1t is understood that this obligation
does not apply to the entertaining OF
friends at our homes, nor to treating
our families or lady friends. This OBJ
legation is to take effect at noon on
the 26th day OF December, 1907.

ported in tbs city. Last year several
ladies of the city suffered from pols-
oned necks resulting from wearing
fur boas which had been colored with
dye stuffs which acted injuriously up
on the skin OF the wearers.
However, none OF the cases last
wear assumed alarming proportions
and the patients were not In any dan
ger of any permanent injury. The
case which has lately arisen, however,
Is a serious one and the results may
be permanent disfiguration for the
lady affected, who Is one Of the most
prominent and popular of Walla
walla's society women.
Fur poisoning" says an authority
on the subject OF furs in this city, rs
extremely rare, but when 1t does oc-
cur, is sometimes dangerous. The
best fur houses are careful iE the ma
terial used in coloring the furs, but
oftentimes some ingredient Is used
which will poison a tender SKIN
There have been cases come under
my observation which have proven
serious for the wearers. but these are
few in proportion to the number OF
women who wear furs.
THE only preventative is not To
wear furs, but as long as women per-
sist in wearing them and they con-
tinue to be so extremely fashionable
In the winter months, this advice VIII
not be taken by anyone, / suppose
The next best thing to do Is to watef
carefully for any trace of inflamma'
ton of the skin which comes in con-
tact with the fur.
'As soon as there are the leas
SYMPTOMS Of any trouble, a physician
should be consulted at once, for tn
poisoning often spreads rapidly. Al
excellent preventative is to wash TN
neck and face with weak carooh
acid water or listerine we'll diluted
with water"

UTES IN HARD LUCK
ONCE WILD TRIBE FORCED
TO MANUAL LABOR
Utah Indians Who Formerly ROamed
the Plains in Savage Glory, Are
Now Performing the Commonplace
Stunt of Working on a Railroad
Grade-Must Become Self-support-
ing or Starve.

The 400 members of the Ute band
Of red Americans that left their Utah
reservation last fall have encountered
the sternest kind of fate in the land
of their destination, says a Salt Lake
correspondent. They went to the
plains of South Dakota to hunt buff
falo and found only jackrabbits and
soldiers, and about as many Of one
as of the other.
They were successfully rounded up
and the Sioux of South Dakota rent
ed them land, for which the gov
ernment pays. But the Utes were
told that they could not be supported
in idleness-that they must earn the
wherewithal for the purchase of the
necessaries of life. Learning from
the example of the comparatively in
dustrious Sioux that 1t was hustle or
starve under the new dispensatlon,
the Utes accepted employment and
they are nov building railroads in the
foothills of the Black Hills at so
much per diem.
Such Is the outcome of the hunt
ing and fishing expedition which the
Utes fondly believed would bring
them untold camp luxuries in the
land Of the Dakotas. They found
the warriors of a generation ago-the
untameable Sioux tending their
focks, planting and harvesting crops,
working as day laborers or filling
manual contracts Of their own-all
busy keeping the wolf from the door
It was then that new aspect Of
life came into the vision of the wan
dering Utah Indians and they fell In
with the custom and are now toler-
ably busy. 1t is the policy Of the In
dian bureau to make the red wards
of the government self-supporting
wherever they exist, and the intro
duction Of the Utes to the toll of the
white man is sample of the treat
ment that is to be gradually extended
to all the bands and tribes.

FOR CANADIAN POSTAGE.
American Consul Seeks to Restore
Old Rates.

Consul James H. Worman of Three
Rivers. makes the following report on
a movement in Canada to secure the
former postage rates on periodicals
to and from this country:
Newspaper publishers in the Prov
ince of Quebec have petitioned the
dominion postoffice department to
restore the old rates on newspapers
and magazines between the United
States and Canada, a six months trial
Of the new rates having proved the
Injurious effect to the Canadian press
and people.
The Montreal French chamber of
commerce has also urged the repeal
Of the new regulations, and its COM
matter. has reported: 1t was held that
any restriction placed on the circu-
lation of Canadian papers in the
United States and in other foreign
countries would prevent this country
from being known and appreciated;
that 1t would unfavorably affect i'm
migration to Canada as well as the
repatriation OF French Canadians.
Persuaded that in the interests OF
colonization and commercial prosper
ity the country needed far more ad-
vertising than was given to 1t in the
press. the chamber Of commerce had
requested the federal government to
further such advertising by the Gre
alton OF a commercial museum and
the distribution of explanatory guides
on the resources of Canada. The
committee states also that the circu-
lation in this country of American
magazines is of great advantage to
trade and Industry, both from a SCI
entlfic and a news standpoint.

Injurious ColOring Matter and Dye

First Case Of Poisoning From Furs

The poisoning was caused by a fur

highly inflamed as the result OF the
injurious coloring matter. The trouble
was first noticed several days ago,
but the victim OF the poisoning
thought II was merely an irritation

trouble became worse and now the

LUCKY NUMBERS DRAWN.
Holders of the Proper Tickets Can
Get Their Prizes at Raiders.
UEArchooi Karchool"

"Kerchoo, Kerchoo"
"Now we will shake the box again
and draw for the next number"
"Kerchool KerchooI" sang the
audience.
AS often as NJ. A. RAIDER shook the
box Just so often his furniture rooms
rang with resounding sneezes from
those gathered about watching the
fun. The box which contained the
thousands OF little tickets was just
an ordinary tin box such as is seen
on any grocer's shelf. The sneezing
kept pace with the shaking, however,
and an investigation was made, which
revealed the fact that the grocer who
had provided the box had not been
too careful In the selection and an
abandoned cayenne pepper bin had
been given Mr.. RAIDER. Consequently
each shake Of the box sent little par
ticles OF red hot pepper scampering
about the room which delighted in
settling in the noses and throats of
those gathered about and stirred up
I
a regular round of sneezlng.
The drawing for the three prizes
to be given away by Mr.. RAIDER, the
popular furniture dealer took place
last night and quite a number gath
cred at the RAIDER store to see the
lucky numbers drawn. A bllndfold-
ed boy drew the tickets from a box
and the following numbers were
drawn which are entitled to the priz-
es, provided they show up within two
weeks time;
/ First prize-296S.
Second prize-2014.
Third prize-S205.
A second series was also drawn,
providing an additional list should

numbers are as follows: First, 475S;
