The peace cure appears to be fast
superseding the once popular rest cure
as q pauacea for all the ills of man
kind, or, rather, womankind t. be
more precise. This new cure is main
~ a matter of mental discipline and
to take it one need not go into exile
or even drop ones worldly affairs. III
this novel course of personal treat
ment there is much excellent common
sense in some of the rules.
Taking the peace cure begins with
your meals. You must eat slowly and
think pleasant thoughts. You will
not need a great deal of food, for the
food you eat nourishes you. You sit
down at the table, eat slowly. relax
your muscles, clear your mind. think
only Of your food and grow peaceful
in contemplation.
The woman who takes the peace cure
begins with nerve relaxation.
She forces her lips to smile.
She orders her hands 70 lie still iD
her lap.
She tits back Der head until the CEN
ter Of gravity IS reached aud the head

Then she thinks pleasant thoughts.

TAKE THE SALOONS PLACE.

Commenting upon the closing OF
the saloons on Sunday, the Evening
Chronicle of Spokane makes a point
which has a local application:
The closing of the saloons on
Sunday has called attention to the
good results which might be obtain
ed from a movement to provide
some other place where those who
may have formerly frequented the
saloons or those who do not care
for the saloon may spend the day.
There are, OF course, the churches
and the Y. NJ. c. A., the Athletic
club and other places open to men,
bers and friends, but the stranger
in the city, the man who does nor
go to church, and the man with no
home of his own, who desires to sit
down and read the papers or indulge
! in a game of cards might have a
hard time to find such a place in
Spokane. There are cheap hotels
and semi-charitable institutions,
but there are many men who desire
something a little better than this.
Something in the nature of 4
wOrkingman' club, with restaur-
ant in connection, and which would
always extend a welcome to the
stranger, might fill the bill and
could probably be made self-support-
ing if conducted along the right
lines
The demand of the present time
in Wenatchee is for a place where
men may meet and discuss with
each other things of common inter-
est. Some will go to church,. It's
= good place to go. but there are
hundreds of men who do not care
to he forced to go to church.
These men need a place where
they can go. The social side Of
men must be recognized. There is
a. want here which must be filed

SAVING BIS PARTY AGAIN.

If Mayor McClelan's sense of duty TO his
party were a little less strong the city might
enjoy uniform exhibition of the good inten-
tioDs that have characterized the greater part
of his administration The Democratic party,
however rests heavy upon his conscience. ana
once year. when primaries are about due ne
feels that some unusual exertions on his part
are necessary for its salvation Two years ago
he made an heroic effort 10 save it from Hearst
and Murphy, and accordingly he put number
Of persons with primary fights on their hands
upon the city payroll. Last year he wrought
nobly and valiantly to save the city from Hearst,
and now he feels that he and Murphy stand
between the Democracy and Organism In such
seasons as these we may naturally look to see
almost any one appointed to office who mas the
good fortune to live the same block with the
Tammany boss or to belong to the bosss dis
trict club, and the Mayor must feel the comfort
ing sense Of duty well performed and the reas-
surance of an approving conscience as he reads
in the newspapers Mr.. Murphys expression of
satisfaction over the appointments.
1t seems certain that If it were not for his
extraordinary sense of obligation to save the
Democracy the Mayor would not again under
take the thankess task after his past expert
ences. He can hardly recall with any satisfac
ton his alliance with Mr.. Sullivan in 1906 to
save the party from Murphy and Hearst 1t
was coDdescending a long way, however good
the cause and when it ended In Mr. Sullivan's
deserting him with unconscionable alacrity in
favor of the winner ii left him rather sorry
figure His efforts and his sacrifices TO save the
party proited one but the alert turncoat
whom he accepted as his ally. When his heart
warns with pleasure at Mr. Murphy's hearty
adherence TO his plans for united party to
save the Democracy from Bryan he should re
member that the boss belongs TO the same
school OF statesmanshp as Mr. Sullivan. Until
the Mayor learns this all over again from
