Misuse of Patronage.
I'VE condemn, as a violation of the
spirit of our institutions the action Of
the present chief executive in using
the patronage of his high office to se-
cure the nomination of one of his cab
met officers. A forced succession in
the presidency is scarcely less repug-
nant to public sentiment than is life
tenure in that office. No good inten-

no virtue in the one selected, can JUS

Letter From Old Resident

The following extract from letter
from D. c. Wilson, an old resident Of
this valley, will be read with interest
by many of our readers. Mr.. Wilson
removed from our midst to Medford,
Oregon. some three years ago:
I'VE are we'll and all very well salts
fed. Our Wenatchee people seem to
be also. Property here is rapidly adj
vancing in price, although it is not
nearly so high as there. But believe
it will be. Already some young bear
ing orchards are selling as high as
$500 per acre. We have promise of
great development in the near future
in coal, oil and gas, besides our many
other diversified industries, such as
iron, timber, horticulture, agriculture
and an abundance of electric energy
yet to be developed"

MINER KILLS HUGE BEAR
WITH A CHUNK OF ORE

Reno, New, Dec. 20-R. w. Booth,
one of the pioneer mining men and
journalists of Tonopah, had thrill
ing experience while examining a
tunnel in one of his properties near
the Big Southern mining camp yes
terday.
At distance of $50 feet from
the mouth he stumbled over what
proved to be huge brown bear. The
animal had been driven into the
mine to escape the cold weather.
Booth Immediately realized his dan
ger and grappled with the bear, club
bling the beast over the head with
boulder of ore. In this way the
bear was rendered unconscious and
finally killed.

Fine Color is Easily Obtained

The girl who is pale can put little
color in her cheeks temporarily for a
dance or the theater easily. First, rub
cold cream into the face, always with
an upward, rotary movement, and after
you have rubbed it in we'll wipe what
is left off with a soft cloth. Rub in
more cream and then rub it off. Wash
the face in hot water and dry it care
fully, after dashing handfuls of refresh
ing cold water over it. Lastly, put a
small piece of ice in the corner of a
towel and rub this over the cheek
bones several times and then powder.
This is really a mild Turkish bath fol
the face, and is excellent for adding a
little color to the face that is too pale.
The color will last for several hours
and is becoming to most people who
are inclined to pallor.

When the Child Has Earache

Eaache is common complaint Of
childhood, and it is often thought to be
of no moment, but if the attacks are at
all frequent there is sure to be some
underlying cause and reliable physician
should be consulted. A simple earache
calls for immediate relief from some
member of the family. Do not use the
remedy of your mothers and drop warm
sweet oil and laudanum into the ear,
for this mixture tends to clog the ear
and prevent a free passage and this is
necessary at all times.
Ordinary dry heat will usually relieve
a simple earache and probably the best
way to apply this is by hot salt bags or
hot bran or by hot water bag. A drop
of heated glycerin should be inserted
into the ear by means of a medicine
dropper if the hot applications fail to
remove the pain in a reasonable length
of time. If this also fails to stop the
pain nothing further should be done
without the advice of doctor.
In the care OF the ears it is we'll to
remember that it is injurious to attempt
m clean n chiId'c ear with hairDin or
any sharp or hard instrument, for it is
often the cause of setting up some
chronic ear complaint. Nothing but the
twisted end of a towel or a swab of cot
ton on the end of a toothpick should
be used to cleanse a child's ear.

Habit of Biting the Finger Nails

The habit of biting the finger nails,
which alas, is quite common among
children, should be broken before it has
too firm a hold on the child. Dipping
the finger nails in a solution of quinine
and bitter aloes will often cure the
habit, for the solution is bitter to the
taste. If this does not break the habit,
fastening the hands in cotton gloves
will surely break it. The gloves should
be fastened on so that the child can
not take them off. While the gloves
are on the hand, the finger nails can
not be touched and the humiliation Of

Uses For Lemons in the Kitchen

Lemon juice added to fruit juices
that do not jell readily, such as cher
ries, strawberries, etc., will cause them
to jell.
To keep lemons fresh long time,
invert over them glass dish that fits
closely; or put them in bowl of cold
water and place them in a cool place.
Allow plenty of room for the lemons to
float easily in the bowl.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon in
the rinse water after you have sham
pooed your hair. It will cut all the
grease.
Lemon juice mixed very thick with
sugar will relieve that tickling cough
which is so annoying.
Lemon Extract-Let stand the rind
of four grated lemons in half pint of
alcohol for about three weeks, bottle
and cork. This is fine.

Memories OF Old

Those beautiful memories Of old
They fill my heart with cheer
And in fancy again my arms enfold
The ones l love so dear
Beautiful memories how they surge
Around me in moments like these
And they never sing mournful dirge
But a gladstone song to please.
One by one they come to me
Thoughts more precious than gold,
And OH how gladly l pay the fee
OF those beautiful mem'ries of old.

For the Eyes

Bathing the eyes with rose water or
a weak solution of boric acid is a safe
practice and will strengthen the eyes.
If you wish your eyes to be bright the
best medicine is cheerful and ami
mated spirit. An excellent health rule
for bright eyes and clear skin is to
take the juice of lemon in glass
of water with a pinch Of salt added.
Take this every morning, it acts
directly upon the liver and its effects
will be found beneficial.
Another remedy for sore eyes is the
skin which may be taken out of an
eggshell. Just lay the skin over the
eyes and bandage in place. You will
be surprised to note how rapidly the
swelling will decrease and the irrita-
ton will then leave the eye.

Hints About "Soggy" Pies

A soggy lower crust is thing des-
pissed by cooks, but no matter how
careful one has been it often happens
that the crust will be almost UNBEATABLE.
A way Of making pies where there is a
certainty that the crust will not be like
this is to line the pie plate with crust
and bake light brown. Add the fruit
or other filling now and top crust and
bake again. You will have pies with
not soggy morsel in them.
