FAVORS CAMPAIGN
FOR COLLEGE FUND

The campaign for securing funds
with which to meet the running eX-
penses of Whitman college for the
coming year until the Greater Whit
man fund" is available was endorsed
at the regular meeting of the CONNER
cial club last night, and the support OF
business men is assured the institu-
ton which, in future years, promises
to be the making Of the city. The ac-
ton was taken at the suggestion of F.
S. Dement, and H. H. Turner, who
suggested that as the number Of stu
dents next year would be double the
enrolment Of the present year, some
provision would necessarily have to be
made to keep up the running expenses
of the institution until such time as
the 100000 Greater Whitman
fund can be secured for use.
DR.. N. G. BlalOck, on behalf of the
college, reported that there are al
ready in sight twice as many stu
dents for the coming school year, and
also that Professors Hendrick and
Penrose are meeting with most graft
flying success in their labOrs for the
enlargement of the college. The main
tenance of the college for the coming
year or two is now the vital problem,
and the action of the Commercial club
last night in endorsing the local cam
paign and in extending every moral
aid, came as a most fitting climax to
the large volume of important bust
ness considered.

Run Excursion
Through East

A special train, equipped with the
finest accommodation that can be Sc
sured, to make tour of the east
ern states, is one of the moves being
considered for the publicity of Wa!la
Walla and Southeastern Washington
and one of the possibilities of next
fall, the question having been intro
duced at the regular meeting of the
Commercial club last night by A. A.
Herring, who said that while the pres
ent excursion was being run through
country chiefly for the pleasure of
eXcursiOnists and through a section
of the west where publicity of this
section would do little or no good to
Walla Walla. plans should be taken
under consideration at once whereby
a train could be sent through the more
thickly settled sections of the east
showing an exhibit of the Walla Walla
country products and giving an in
sight into the real merits of the west
J. H. Morrow, Of the Morrow Drew
company, spoke on the subject being
highly in favor of the plan, and tell
ing of the almost unlimited results
that would follow such a move.
'Walla Walla has reached a point
where much is expected of her. and,
while l do not say it in a critical way,
it seems to me that we should begin
to take some action as a community
whereby our section might be more
extensively advertised We are looked
upon as one of the richest sections of
the state. and as the leading city in
southeastern Washington; there should
be a more united effort put forth for
the publicity of our community and
heartily approve of an excursion such
as Mr.. Herring has spoken OF 1t is
not beyond our possibilities; Portland
recently sent out six tons of litera-
ture relative to that part of the west;
what is Wala Walna doing? How
much literature are we sending out?
| do not wish to be considered as
critizing, but we are in great need of
some concerted action along the pub
licity line if we would show eastern
hOmesekers what we really have. If
the excursion train is agreed upon,
those who might desire to come west
will not be forced to rely upon the lit
erature and wonder if we are telling
the truth; but with an exhibit of the
products of this valley on the train,
they can see for themselves
The discussion of the subject re-
suited in motion to appoint COM
mittee of five to secure data relat-
ing to the expense Of the proposed ex-
cursion through the sections consid
cred most likely to produce results,
with instructions to report at the ear
Hest possible time. The committee
consists of A. A. Herring T. n. Con-
way, George Brown, j. H. Morrow and

ALCOHOL IS A
PRESERVATIVE

Alcohol is recognized the world over
as the proper, most efficient and whole
some preserver of medicinal COM
pounds. and while some journalists
try to alarm the world by the cry that
patent medicines contain more alco-
sol than BEER they neglect to state
that proprietary medicines are taken
in doses from a teaspoonful to ia
blespoonful, while beer is a beverage
that is consumed in quantities from a
glass to several quarts a day.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound contains only Is per cent alco-
hol, simply enough to preserve the
roots and herbs from which it is made
and may be relied upon by every wo-
man in the land as a reliable, honest
and sure remedy for the ills peculiar to
her sex.

WANT SANITARIUM
FOR CONSERVATIVES

At the regular meeting of the Com
mercial club held last night, members
of the organization went on record as
| being in favor of the establishment in
eastern Washington of a sanitarium
for the care of tuberculosis patients
and the following resolutions, sent out
| by the Spokane chamber of Commerce
were adopted without OPPOSITION. DR.
N. G. Blalock spoke in favor of the
measure. after Manager Conway, OF
the Meat & Cold Storage, had read
statistics showing that one per cent
of beef cattle, ten per cent of dairy
cattle and two per cent of hogs were
affected with tuberculosis.
The resolutions adopted were as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That there should be es-
tablished at some suitable place in
Eastern Washington state SANTA
rum for tuberculosis, where patients
suffering from the disease may be
treated by modern methods under the
direction of competent physicians. This
institution, supported by the state,
should be located, planned and con-
Quoted so that it would be attractive
for its efficiency to those able and will
ing to pay for it's ministrations, while
proper provision should be made for the
treatment of the poor and needy vic
tins.
"That it should be a part of the
function of this sanitorium to dissem-
mate among the people information
regarding tuberculosis, it's means Of
communication and the precautions
necessary for it's prevention. using any
and all means to the end of stamping
out this terrible white plague through
which every third household in this
country is mourning today.
'"That this chamber of commerce en-
dorses and commends all efforts by To-
cal authorities to combat tuberculosis
and calls on our public officials and on
our charitably- disposed citizens to aid
them in the splendid work"
The resolutions also provide that
copy be sent to every member of the
legislature from eastern Washington

MANY ARE NOW RELIEVED
TREMENDOUS POPULARITY OF
PRESCRIPTION is
SURPRISING.
now TO NIX At HOME
No Sufferer From Kidney or Bladder
Trouble or rheumatism Should
Leave It Untricd.

That the readers of this paper APP
faith is plainly demonstrated by the
fact that one well-known local phar-
macy supplied the ingredients for the
vegetable prescription" many times
within the past two weeks. The an
nouncement of this simple, harmless
mixture has certainly accomplished
much in reducing the great many
cases of kidney complaint and rheu-
matism here, relieving pain and mis-
cry, especially among the older popu-
lation, who are always suffering more
or less with bladder and urinary trou-
bles. backache and particularly rheu-
matism.
Another well-known druggist asks
us to continue the announcement of
the prescription. 1t is doing so much
real good here, he continues, that it
would be a crime not to do so. 1t
can not be repeated too often. and
further states many cases of remark
able cures wrought.
The following is the prescription,
of simple ingredients, making a harm
less, inexpensive compound which
any person can prepare by shaking
well in a bottle: Fluid Extract Dan
delion, One-ha1f ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsa parilla, three ounces. Any first
class drugstore will sell this small
amount of each ingredient, and the
dose for adults is one teaspoonful
to be taken after each meal and again
at bedtime. There is enough here
to last for one week. if taken &C
cording to directions. Good results
will be apparent from the first few
doses

Resolved: That the commission

wise known as the Des MOines or Gal
cities of 100000 population or less" is
the subject up for debate. This is ex-
actly the topic discussed last spring
and summer by the council and Com
mercial club and should be interest
ing to every citizen.
The two societies are the PhrenOk-
osmian and the Athneum. The Phre-
nokosmian team is led by Roy Cahill,

cher. O9, of Forest Grove leads the
Athaneum team assisted by Walter
Penthouse, '09, of Weiser; Alva Kit.
II, of Spokane; and p. p. Brainerd,
'09, of Payette. Idaho.
Both teams have made unusual pre-
parations for this debate, as there is
not only the supremacy of the two
societies at stake, but there is to be
chosen two teams for debates against
Pacific and Willamette universities,
and the individual championship of
the school is also to be determined.

Just as the young man springs

breaks into the room with police

Its true! It's true!" shouts

The millionaire, in the mean

there is bigness and goodness. And
