Easy to Swallow Raw saa.

Raw eggs are bloodmakers and may
be taken in any way one wishes. The
simplest method of getting them down
is to take a shallow wine glass, put
in a drop of clear lemon Juice and
then break the egg In this taking care
not TO injure the yolk. over this put
about four drops of lemon, scattered,
to make the egg go down easily with
one swallow. This Is readily accom-
plshed II the head is held back and
the contents of the glass tossed into
the back of the mouth. Eight eggs
a day are none too much when one is

Theory as to. Whet er We Live Inside
or Outside Earth.


There are a number OF believers in
the theory that we are living inside
the earth instead of outside. These
unpleasant people want us to admit
that we are surrounded by shell like
huge nut. Just what good 1t will dc
us to admit this isn't clear. About the
only benefit to be derived from the in.
formation, as far as we can see at
present Is the possibility that the bal.
loonists may prepare themselves for
hard bump against the inner side
of the shell IL they ever go up too
high.
We are also told that the accepta-
ton of this kernel In the nut theory
will explain many things-none OF
which we remember.
1t will also upset great many
things with which we are familiar and
which, on the whole. we like pretty
well.
This leads us to remark that we pre-
fer to believe we are outs. AT the
same time II the inside facts are con-
vincing we are open to conviction

400 to 500 Per Annum

An established manufacturing business
in spokane is offering limited block of
its treasury stock for sale to procure
funds for enlarging its plant. 1t is RIM
ming constantly at its full capacity, but
is unable to fill more than small por-
ton of the orders that are coming in
from all over the Pacific coast. A mo-
nopoly OF the known raw material west
of the Rocky mountains, together with
fact that the freight rate on this class of
goods from the east is more than the
cost of the manufacture here. gives our
company absolute control of this large
and fast growing field, and makes divI-
dends of 40 to so per cent per annum
seem certain. The company is managed
by well known citizens of Spokane and
vicinity, has always earned large profits,
and cordially invites the fullest investi-
cation by intending investors. If you

Low Death Rate in Nav.

Much interesting information in re-
gard to the navy is found in the recent
annual report of Surgeon General Rixey.
With an average strength. including the
Marine Corps, of about 10 600 both afcat
and ashore, the total number of deaths in
the navy for the year was PAL, ratio of
5.66 per 1000.
1t is natural that a picked class of men
under constant surveillance should make
a better record than the heterogeneous
population of city. But the contrast
between a rate of 5.66 in the navy and a
rate of from 80 to 50, or even higher,
in the cities is a good showing for the
former.
Of these 241 deaths only IA were
from disease. The remaining 81 were
from injury, including poisons.

The
General Demand

OF the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy of
known value; laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir of Sienna is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine-manufac
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,

Half-Filled Regiments Result of Low

Washington correspondence
one could not exaggerate If he would
the spirit of actual hopelessness with
which the officers of the American
army will view the future If Congress
rails at tie present session to pass the
bill granting an increase of pay to the
rank and file. At some of the posts
there are barely enough soldiers to do
guard duty as it ought to be done.
1t is a present condition with which
che army officers are concerned first,
and 1t is future condition over which
they are concerned second. The flu
ture condition is the more serious, be-
cause it means that if things go on as
they have been doing the country and
Its island possessions will be defense
less.
Men who have worn shoulder knots
since the days of the civil war say
in all seriousness that unless the peo-
pie bring pressure to bear upon Con-
gress to provide adequate pay for the
soldiers the people will find them
selves, as far as the regular army en-
tiers into the matter, practically with
out defense, and reduced almost to the
stage of having no seasoned force as
a nucleus Of efficiency for unframed
national guardsmen and green volun-
teers. Post libraries, recreation rooms,
field athletics, comfortable quarters,
good food, good clothing, free medical
attendance and plunge and shower
baths all avail nothing to attract men
to a life which would draw them by
the thousands If a decent allowance
of pay for the service they render in
peace, and always have been willing to
render in war, were added to the in
ducements.
Joint encampments Of the regulars
and the national guardsmen will be
held next summer. The regulars en-
JOY camp as we'll as garrison service,
though the duties are harder. 1t is
the belief of officers of the army that
these encampments, into whose mill
tary life the national state soldiers en-
ter, would induce enlistments from
the national guard by the hundreds If
the men knew that their pay would be
commensurate with the work they are
willing to do for their country.
In a recent number of the North
American Review General William H.
Carter, commanding the Department
of the Lakes, has an enlightening arti-
Gle under the strongly suggestive title
when Diplomacy Fails" 1t is writ
ten by an officer not given to sounding
trumpet alarm notes and who for the
worth of his service was made a Brig
adler General years before the time
when under the ordinary rule Of pro-
motion he would have been entitled to
wear his star.
Army officials believe that If the es-
Establishment were enlarged post life
would be far more attractive because
of the greater number of soldiers in
the garrison. If the proposed advance
in pay is passed by Congress the Off
GERS also believe that there will be no
trouble in keeping the ranks filed, and
that re-enlistments will be TIE rule
rather than the exception, as they are
today.
