A CITY PARK ASSURED.

Walla Walla is to have park worthy
of the name. That was definitely as
sured at a meeting of the city council
last night when the council allowed q
motion, setting aside 500 a month
for the use of the park commission in
employing a competent park superin-
tendent. Placing the city park in the
hands of a park commission, which is
composed of representative business
men, was a wise move and one that
should have been done years. ago. 1t is
to be hoped that the council Will place
no restrictions on the authority of the
commission in its efforts to create
recreation place that is worthy of bear
ing the name of a city park. One of the
greatest advertisements to any city
is the city parks where citizens may
gather and pass away pleasant hours
during the summer months. Unfortu-
nately for Walla Walla. the creation
of a park must begin from the ground
up ana it is an important matter that
the start be in the right direction For
that reason the employment of a COM
petent superintendent is absolutely ne
cessary and the council is to be COM
mended for the prompt manner in
which the recommendations of the park
board We're acted upon.

HOME INDUSTRIES CAMPAIGN

A move in the right direction to fos-
ter and encourage home manufacturers
is TO be taken by the Walla Walla
Commercial club. Next Tuesday after
noon manufacturers and merchants of
the city are invited to attend a con-
ference in the Commercial club rooms
when the matter of inaugurating
''home industry" campaign will be dis
cussed. The object of the campaign is
to .create a sentiment among local
consumers to patroniZe as far as prac-
teal the product of Walla Walla man
ufactories with the object in view of
stimulating local enterprises and en-
coltraging other industries to locate in
Walla Walla. Similar campaigns have
been ina0gurated in other cities with
beneficial results. For a city of $4,000
people and with a country surround
ing 1t, which for resources, cannot be
duplicated anywhere in the northwest,
Walla Walla is not the manufacturing
town that it should be. 1t is only
manufacturing industry has reached
the proportions worthy of a name 1t
is. however, a matter of pride that
the manufacturing of various commod-
tiles of life has been greatly stimu-
lated within the past year as the pos
sibflities for such enterprises have be-
come apparent to moneyed men.
THESE industries will be increased as
time goes on, provided the proper en-
enlargement is given those who in
vest their money in them. The spirit
that prompts the Commercial club to
encourage the patronage of home man.
ufactories is therefore a worthy one
and should be regarded as such by our
home people who in the long run will
be the ones mostly benefited. What
Walla Walla needs is more payrolls
but these will never come until we
have the manufactures.

Her pink cheek left a crimson streak

The SIMPLE HOME TEST
Tells How 10 find Outfit The
Kidneys are Afflicted
AND THE HOME REMEDY
Highly Recommended Prescription
Which Any One ON Prepare at
Home.

a well-known authority states that
there are more cases of kidney trouble
here now than ever before, while re-
cent reports show that more people
lsuccumb each year to some form of
kidney disease tnan any other cause.
! When there is sickness, examine the
urine. rheumatism is only a symptom
of kidney trouble. It is nothing more or
less than excessive uric acid in the
blood, which the sluggish, inactive
kidneys have failed to sift out, leaving
it to decompose and settle about the
joints and muscles, causing intense
suffering; frequently resulting in le-
;formity; often reaching the heart when
death ensues.
| Pains across the back, frequent,
painful and suppressed urination and
other symptoms of weak bladder are
not the only signs of kidney trouble;
many cases of stomach disease, head
ache, pains in the heart, inactive liver,
ETC., are but symptoms; the cause Of
which can be traced to feeble, clogged
kidneys.
The physicians for the insurance
companies always carefully examine
| and report on the condition of the
urine. 1t is a certain sign of sickness
or health Of the human body.
| A test of the urine should be made
by every man and woman at least once
each year. A simple test is to void a
small quantity of urine in a bottle or
glass, and let it stand over night;
next morning, if there is a reddish,
brick-dust sediment, or white, f1eecy
substance present either consult some
reputable physician or take a good veg
etable treatment. The following pre-
scription is recommd hded highly in
these cases, and if desirable the suf-
ferer can mix 1t at home. Any good
prescription pharmacykhas the ingredi-
ents, which are harmlS ss and inexpen-
sive: Compound Kargbn, one ounce:
Fluid Extract Dan4elion, one-half
ounce; Compound SyAlp Sarsaparilla,
three ounces. Shake NELL and use in
iteaspoonful doses aftek each meal and
at bedtime. Where arr of the symp-
toms enumerated aboQe are present,
good results are sure 10 follow imme-
diately the use of this simple pre-
scription.
