Help a Neighbor.

The local camp of Modern Wood
men of America met in regular ses-
sion Christmas evening and the at
tached report of committee was
made:
W. A. Bragg, a member of the To-
cal camp, went to Tacoma in August,
1906, where he secured work as a
carpenter. Within a week he fell,
receiving injuries which resulted in
gripping him for life. Since that
time he has been unable to earn any
thing. and his funds were soon ex-
hausted, so that the only means of
support for himself and family was
the earnings of his wife, who is not
strong woman, and what support
the local camp of Woodmen were able
to give. Through the head camp at
Rock Island, ILL.,, call for relief was
recently issued to the camps Of this
state. with the result that about
$500 has been placed in the hands
Of the committee. The following Is

Expects to Erect Numerous Small

Building of numerous small homes

Mr.. Currier. who is now visiting in

1t would seem there would be
hardly an investment that would be
more profitable in North Yakima
than the building of five and six

on long term payments Several
men are contemplating entering this
line, but as there is need for a hun

there is plenty Of room for all.

North Yakima People With Weak
Lungs Need Ninol.

Many people inherit weak lungs
which are likely to be attacked by
consumption SO also are lungs
weakened by disease or by a stub
born, hacking cough
No matter what the cause, Ninol
strengthens weak lungs and gives
one the power to throw off wasting
diseases.
The reason that Vinol has such
power to heal and strengthen is be-
cause it contains in a highly concen-
rated form all of the curative, medi-
cinal and strength-creating elements
of cod liver oil. actually taken from
fresh Gods livers, with the useless,
nauseating oil eliminated and tonic
iron added
So sure are we OF what Vinol will
do that we ask every person in North
Yakima suffering from weak lungs,
stubborn hacking coughs or any vast
ing disease 10 try Vinol on our offer
to return money if it fails Fred l..

but one car an enormous profit over
all operating expenses. Superin-
tendent Of Transportation Bell states
that but few people rode on the cars
for the experience or novelty, and
this means the business will show

MANY JAI'S.
They are Swarining Here From the
Coast.

Japanese are coming to North Yak
ina this year in large numbers. and
there are now more of that race in
the city than at any time heretofore.
Most of them come from the sound,
where the temporary lull in business
has thrown them out of work. There
is now Jap colony in the clay of
between 200 and 300. They are get
ting work, too. where the white men
coming to the city are unable to do
so. Many of the foreigners are
cooks, and they are beginning to
supplant the women domestics in
that work.
North Yakima has always been
favorite place for Japs, for they are
in good standing here. They have
never created the prejudces against
them that exist in other cities of the
northwest 1t is because of this that
so many of them are now coming
to the city Their ability as cooks
and their willingness to work has
made a big demand for the Japs
among housewives.
IT would have none other as r
cook than a Jap as long as one is
to be had" said one landlady, who
keeps boarding house in this city
Il have found them of much more
value than women cooks. They work
hard and long and are just as cheap
and usually cheaper than the women
If treated right Japs are easy to get
along with. They demand good
treatment, a good room, board, etc,
in preference, I believe, to good pay.
Most of the Japs in this city who
are employed as cooks are here to
get an education and that is their
chief aim. Their tendency to change
about, to leave without giving the
usual notice, is their chief fault
Even then, they usually get other
Japs to take their places, for there
are always enough looking for work
of that kind"
Many of the Japs now in North
Yakima are young men or boys and
are attending either the public
schools or business college.

A we'll known authority on Rheu-
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless
prescription, which any one can cas-
lily prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla,
three ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle
and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost. and be-
ing of vegetable extraction, are
harmless to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken
regularly for a few days, is said to
overcome almost any case of Rheu-
matism. The pain and swelling, ii
any, diminishes with each dose. until
permanent results are obtained, and
without injuring the stomach. While
there are many so-called Rheuma-
ism remedies, patent medicines, etc.,
some of which do give relief, few real
~ give permanent results, and the
above will. no doubt, be greatly APP
preciated by many sufferers here at
this time
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood ELECTS the information
that these drugs are harmless and
can be bought separately, or the drug
gists here will mix the prescription
for our readers if asked to.

Esteemed eighbors-Your COM
mittee beg to report in the matter OF
the Bragg relief fund as follows
After carefully considering the con
dition and ability of Neighbor Bragg.
and the various business opportuni-
ties in this city, we have decided that
pop corn stand offered the most
feasible means of support for him.
We therefore attempted to buy the
one at the corner of Yakima avenue
and South Second street. Being I'M
able to purchase said stand, we have
decided to secure another corner and
establish a new stand for Neighbo~
Bragg, and believe that through the
efforts of the Neighbors a good bust
ness can soon be established.
In our opinion this should be done
as soon as possible, that Neighbor
Bragg may become self supporting.

PRICE OF ggIIgA Mlhgts
The Staple Has Made Substantial
Gains Since the Holiday.

Although thereShas not been much
activity in the cotton market since
Labor day the gain in price has been
substantial and 10 encouraging to the
producer. New Orleans futures closed
IL to Is points higher Wednesday
and New York closed to 10 points
up Liverpool spots opened two
points up Thurnaay morning and fu-
'tures in New. York ana New Orleans
made steady advances.
This improvement in the eastern
markets has had a stimulating effect
upon the local market, and buyers
in Waxahachie paid as high as 915
for strict good middling Thursday
afternoon. One farmer was offered
9.17 IL for his cotton but the staple
was held for a higher price. Cotton
in the seed was bought at $3.05 per
hundred
In former years there was much
complaint against the Waxahachie
market, claims being made that
some of the smaller towns paid a
higher price for. the staple. It is par
ticularly gratifying to know these
complaints have not been heard this
year. On the other hand Waxahachie
is paying from $3.50 to $500 per
bale more for cotton, than .other
towns. This is encouraging to the
farmers and they have been bringing
in their cotton at quite lively rate.

and Isaac Page, who own motor
cars. They are enthusiastic drivers
of their touring machines and have
learned to appreciate good roads
They have taken up the road drag
in their own communities and are
giving the residents of their locality
practical examples of what can be
done in making good roads. Joseph
Page says he has the best half mile
of road in the county and he feels
offended if motorists pass along it's
smooth course at less than thirty
miles an hour. AS a result, largely
of their efforts, there are a dozen
drags in constant use in the town
ship when the farmers can get time
to use them. In the summer, with
SO much rain and such q rnah OF
work on the farm, it has been ne
gIectAl But now they are at 1t once
more.
The tendency of the farmers in
that part of the county toward prop
er road work has greatly increased
and the road tax is being used with
better effect than ever before.
One of the farmer motorists of
the county, P. H. Gfeller OF the
northeast part OF the county, wzs
asked by the city officers Of juno
ton City recently to siSw them how
to make good road drags that would
keep the roads leading to the city In
good condition. They Intended to
make bid for trade by dragging
the roads in all directions from the
city and are asking the farmers to
come there to trade because of the
excellent highways leading into the
town.
