eight, thus leaving the assessment as far
as land is concerned in forty-two counties

SCISSORS. owing to the Importance Of the
real estate assessment the board has de-
termined to notify the assessors of the
counties OF the proposed changes and re-
quest them to appear before the board If

proposed by the board. Final action on the

Duffy's Pure Malt Whisk8y

1t kills the disease germs, invigor-
ates and strengthens every organ and
part of the human body.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is an
absolutely pure distillation of matted
grain; great care being used to nave
every kernel thoroughly matted, thus
destroying the germ and producing a
~predigested liquid food in the form of
a malt essence, which is the most eff
fective tonic stimulant and in~vigorator
known to science; softened by warmth
and moisture, its p~alatability and free
dom from injurious substances rem
der it so that it can be retained by the
most sensitive stomach.
Thousands of leading doctors pre-
scribe it and prominent hospitals use
and endorse 1t, exclusively.
CDOSE)-One ~teaspoonful in each
glass of drinking water during the
hot weather will kill all germs.
If weak and run down, take a tea
spoonful four times a day in half a
glass of milk or water. 1t stimulates
the heart action, causes the blood to
course more quickly through the veins,
and builds new tissue.

grocers and dealers, or shipped direct
for $500 per bottle.

RICH PEOPLE RErRENCHINa.-Dur'
ing the present financial stress many
wealthy people in the city of New
York have been selling to dealers
their diamonds and other precious
stones, bought before the monetary
troubles had begun. 1t is reported
that one wholesale house had, within
the past month, re-bought more thar
a million dollars worth of diamonds,
in the form of necklaces, brooches,
rings and other ornaments. 1t is q
remarkable trait of human nature,
that rich people worry over such
matters. though amply able to pass the
storm that causes scarcely more than
ripple on their course and to
stand almost any pull on their purse
strings, to exhibit the first symptoms
of prostration when the even tenor OF
financial thrift is disturbed. This is
another argument" settling the
favorite debating-school problem that
pursuit of an object involves o happi.
er state than its possession.

MUCH has been said and written
about Jesus teaching Socialism, but
history does not warrant this con.
clusion. There is no data going to
show that He advocated the cOllec.
tive ownership and control of the
means of production and distribu.
ton of wealth. Such o phase Of
social economy was not presented in
His age. True, in the early days oil
Christianity, many of the disciples
practiced communism in the manner
of living. Their worldly possessions
were very limited. and the simple
life was consistent with their en-
vironment.

the ground that it is the poor man s

ditions it is not supplied by any
other institutions; that to close the
saloons on Sundays. is an injustice
to men without money or habita-
tons, and those who live amid
squaid surroundings. Such condi.
tion may confront the citizens Of
some Of the cities on Puget Sonnd
