The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out Corbo0 was . revelation to the prize ighterA From the earliest days of the ring the knockout blow was aimed for the jaw, the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach punches were thrown in to worry and weary the fighter, but If scientific man had told one of the old fighters that the most vulnerable spot was the region of the stomach, he'd have laughed at him for an ignoramus. Dr. Pierce is bringing hope to tte public parallel fact; that thd sSQmaS Is the most vulnerable organ out of She prfSe ring as well as in 1t We protect bur .hSaSs, throats, feet and lungs, but theSkSnSnk\Ye are utterly indiffer. ent 10. until diseASAfnds the solar plexus and knocks us out Make your stomach sQupd and strong by the use ot Doctor Pierce,s Golden Medical Discovery, ald you protect yQyIsell i0 your most lper. s.hie. spot.

pR. w1LEY's LATEST WARNING.

DIR WILEY'S LATEST WARNING.
 The activities Of Dr. Wiley. head of the bureau O. chemistry of the de- partment of agriculture have been so numerous and extraordinary for sev- eral years t!:at they do not claim very serious attention any longer. On Fri day the doctor pointed out to a house committee that people are not living as long as they would if many of the food conservatives now in use were dispensed with.
 Some disciples of Malthus may in- quire why Dr. Wilev wants te subvert things by keeping the generation here beyond its time instead of letting il depart and so make room for the com ing and increasing generation.
 The belief O. the chemist that many of the Food conservatives tend to shorten the average of human life is merely an assumption. Other chem ists have pronounced many of the pre- SeTNlllNeS 10 WHICH DE W l.t- ObJtOlS as whotly harmless if not actually beneficial The doctor is confronted by certain stubborn facts which he overlooks. One Of these is that in this age of food conservatives the average of human life is considerably longer than t was century or so ago when the use of these objectionable preser- Vatives was unknown ;when meats were wholly preserved by salts and when fruits were either dried or can ned with great care.
 The average Of fife has not only lene, hened amid the conditions which Dr. Wiley deplores. but the health of civilized races is better than it used 10 be. There are comparatively fewer cases of dyspepsia than formerly and there has been a falling off in the per cent O. other stomach troubles
 We do not mean to convey that these improved conditions are attrib- utable to the use of food preservatives Better sanitation and new medical dis coveries are to be cerdited perhaps en- tirely with our longer life and better general health

PLEASE EXCUSE.

Shall We instruct for William Taft, Or let the delegation choose? Shall We make sure our share of graft. Or run an awful chance to lose? Let's nail a sure thing while we can: Because, from all the clews, It seems that Billy is the>man
 The G. o. P. will use. There is a chance, (although 'tis slim) That Teddy's choice may lose: But if we win our bets on him,
 To favor us he won't refuse. And when the state roll call is done, I think you'll hear this news: They've named Ohio'h favorite son, And shelved mysterious Hughes" But I don't really give a darn,
 For Taft or others of his ilk; The purpose of this little yarn
 Is to boost for Valley Pride Pastur- ized milk.

If You Have Lost Your Grip.

Orison Swett Warden in Success Magazine.
 Most of the people whom I have met who are down in the world, or talented people who are doing mediocre work, have lost their grip. And what does that mean?
 It means that they have lost confidence in themselves. No man loses his grip until he loses faith in himself.
 The grip and confidence of most people follow their moods. If their courage is up, if they feel well, their grip is firmer; but the moment they get little discour- aged, or have a fit of the "blues,' they lose their grip and are soon way down.
 Now, the well trained man pays very little attention to his moods, except to show them that he intends to be master, htat he does not propose to throw away a good days work just because he does not happen to be in the right mood. When he goes to his office or store in the morning he goes there determined to do a solid days work, to give his best; and the re- suit is that after while moods have very little to do with him. After he has conouered them a few times, and shown himself master of his mental conditions. his mind falls into line with his resolu- tion.
 People who are victims of their moods never amount to much, because they are never masters of themselves. They never know when they start out in the morn ing whether they are going to do days work or not. If they feel like it." they will; if they do not, both the quantity and quality of their work will be lowered

THE STORY OF TONY.
One of DeIineator Family Who Demon
 strates Efficacy of Prayer.

Tony is a little Italian boy whose sad history is similar to that of thousands in New York city. When he drifted into the receiving home of. the Childrens Aid so- ciety he heard, for the first time in years, of fathers and mothers These characters appeared so often in the matron's stories; they were so kind, and they loved little boys so much that Tony became filled with longing that he had never lSnowil-- a longing for a father and mother of his very own. And every night he prayed that he might find parents.
 Some months ago Tony's story and pie lure appeared in the Deineator There were many who desired the little boy and many of the homes were such good ones that it was hard to arrive at decision. The letter that finally turned the balance read.
 .sWhen your letter came with the doubt in if. our little boy could not eat his dinner. He says he shall never believe God loves him any more, because he prayed so hard to have Tony for his brother, and even got the playthings ready, and almost every other boy Tn

The sentimentaIist confesses.

H. B. Washburn in the May Atlantic.
 The sentimentalist sometimes wonders why Christianity as 1t obtains today does not emphasize more fully the mood of mercy toward the animal world; he thinks that possibly this logical extension of the mood of mercy must be the gift of the Christianized Orient where now 1t is covered with superstition At any rate he is confident that tine spirit of the tra- ditions of St. Francis Is right and the foreshadowlng of the days to come-that there is a mysterious bond of union be- tween man and the weaker beings. that

the gospel of love may yet protect the dHellers in stream and wood from all but necessary sacrifice, the sacrifice in which all must share. And he Is glad to think that he can take his yearly journey into the wilderness, that he can slip down the rivers, encamp on the shores of the lakes penetrate into the woods, climb the mountains, to enjoy the freedom, to live close to the mystery of nature, to see the wild beasts and birds at home He is glad to think that he may come out of the wilderness again able to say that the sum of suffering is no greater because of his pleasure. He delights to think that the young moose still feeds by Soper Stream and that the trout still play in Katahdin Brook. And he cannot but feel that this sentiment will make none the less man of him, and possibly that it partakes a little of the nature of Him whose character was tender and strong.

 The dove of peace now hovers over the warning factions of the Thompson republican organization of beat No. 45. Since the beat convention, held last Mon day, at which two delegations to the county convention were elected, each side has been busy getting up it's side of the case, which were heard by the sub-co-~ mitee Friday night. The Kennemer fac tion was represented by Attorney D. J. Hummer and J. w. Clayton, like a veteran lawyer, represented his own side. The subcommittee decided in favor of the Kennemer faction. Clayton appealed to the convention, where the matter was referred to a special committee. MT. Clayton made passionate plea for his side of the case. After hearing the evil dence the committee was in doubt and by kindly persuasion induced the two fac tions to compromise. This was finally agreed on and each delegation was recog- nized. As a result of their deliberation Kennemer was made beat chairman, Clay ton to name the secretary and five com mitteemen and the Kennemer faction an equal number. Both sides were seen and state they are fully satisfied with the re- suits and that peace and harmony pre- VailS

BRYAN CAN'T WIN.
Democratic Candidate for the Presi.
dency Will Not Garry His Own
State.

That William Jennings Bryan will
not carry his own state as a candi-
date for president on the democratic
ticket is the belief Of J. D. Curtis, a
prominent citizen of Stella, Neb.,
who is visiting in North Yakima.
The Nebraska man says that Bryan
is not popular in his own state and
will not get any more votes than he
did when he ran against Mckinley
eight years ago and lost Nebraska
by 5000 votes. Curtis has been trav-
cling extensively through the west
and says he finds the sentiment every
where to be strongly for Taft. He
says that he believes Bryan will be
defeated this time and If the repub-
licans had chosen some of the other
presidential timber that was offered
the democrats would have been snow
ed under with a flood of ballots that
would have resembled an avalanche.

DELUGE IS COSTLY.
DITCH OWNERS FACE
DOUBLE ASSESSMENT
Now Estimated Nacfes and COwiche
Damages Will Amount to
About $500.

Full returns of the damage done
by the disastrous rains of the middle
of July are now in, and an estimate
of the damage done to the Naches
and Cowiche ditch may be had.
1t is estimated that the necessary
repairs will cost the ditch owners
about $500, little more than the
earlier estimates. This will mean an
assessment of about $14 share.
How much this is seen by the
fact that last year the cost to the
shareholders when they paid their
assessments in April was but 1925.
