were more than 100000, and 10 is
estimated that two years hence thu
number will exceed 100000. The dogs
with the present tax yield over $780,

THE BEEF TEA DELUSION.

Some one way back in the ages orig
mated the fallacy that flesh food is a
diet which promotes strength and en-
ergy-the very opposite of the truth.
The example of the wonderful
strength and endurance of the horse
and the OK should have exposed the
error of this at the start, but this
patent argument seems to have been
overlooked, and so for many hundreds
of years certain races, at least, and,
strangely, the most enlightened rather
than the ignorant and primitive, have
regarded flesh meat as the most
strengthening of foods.
Out of this error grew another almost
equally mischievous, based upon the
supposition that meat, being strong
food, the extract of meat must repre-
sent concentrated strength, or a sub
stance capable of stimulating or de-
veloping the physical powers of the
body to the highest degree.
The chemical department of the Uni
ted States government has made care
full study of beef tea, beef juice, the
extract of beef and other animal >ex-
tracts. aud the result has been the dem
onstration that a pint of beef juice

HOW THE APPLE
WENT TO OREGON

In connection with the approaching
apple show in the Northwest, it is in
teresting to read in the Burlington Free
Press and Times, how in 1S47 the apple
journeyed from the Carolinas to Oregon.
Planting apple orchards as they went
through Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, two
men by the name of Luelling, of Welsh
Quaker family, finally ventured into the
far West. In a rude wagon they packed
700 scions of apples with other fruits
and some Towering plants, and oxen
plodded with them f'from the alluvial
rolls of Iowa over the barren stretches,
the hot, parched desert wastes, the
UNDERSTANDABLE passes of the defiant
Rockies, the deep, shifting sand-dunes
of the Columbia, down to the valley of
the Willamette, close to the shores of
the Pacific seas" The scions thrived
in the new but not alien climate and
ripened fruit of unexpected excellence.

city of Washington and abroad which
enabled them to observe the social sue
cesses and failures of four presidents
In addition Mr.. Taft had been gov
ernor of the Philippines himself, and
that position had welded together an
eient Spanish and modern American
social customs as a guide not only for
himself, but succeeding adfninistra-
tions of official soeialbility in the
Orient. In this work he had the hearty
cooperation of Mrs. Taft, who became
equally qualified to fill the position of
the first lady of the American republic
which she now holds.
As is natural in all capital cities, the
oldest families sometimes hold them
selves aloof from the society which or

WHO has come among them as the re-
suit of political manifestations. This
is true of Washington as of any State
capital in the country. In the national
capital there can easily be found many
families of high social standing which
look askance at anything social which
has its inception or chief interest in
the so-called congressional crowd. -
Others carry this nicely in the choice
of social championship, formal or in.
formal, even to the portals of the
White House and sometimes avoid in
timacies, as far as possible, with its-o c-
cupants.
As has been demonstrated, however,
those who aspire to open social prefer
ment cannot afford to slight the White
House occupants. If they desire social
publicity they must be personae gratae
there and at the same time conform
rigidly to the social code when occasion
demands. The president and his wife
if they choose, can make it exceedingly
uncomfortable for those they dislike, as
was instanced on more than one occa-
sion in the Roosevelt administration !,
consequently the older families of Wash
ington ordinarily seek the seclusion of
their own homes for entertainment and
meet together in a quiet way. This,
however. is not without its charm, and
those who participate constitute the
most exclusive and select circle in the
city in the eyes of many.-Leroy T.

Care Needed to Restore
Dyed I lair to Its Color

Sad is the predicament that woman
finds herself in once she has bleached
or dyed her hair. For, having changed
the color through chemical process, it
becomes necessary for her to continue
the treatment or have a head of hair
that is streaked. And yet to continue
the process indefinitely is out of the
question, because both bleaehes and
DYES so dry and break the locks that
the longer the treatment lasts the worse
the hair becomes.
If it were possible to make women
realize this factI fancy changing color
would be tried less often.
That it is not uncommon I know from
nv daily mail, wherein the queries are
frequent and many as to what the writ
er can do to get back the natural color,
having changed and wishing to re-
store il.
Advanced though science is there IS
nothing vet known that will bring back
the original condition quickly. Time
and care alone will do it, and the inter
val of transition is one calculated to
bring sorrow and desire for seclusion.
The change viii begin of its own accord
at the roots. as new hair grows out,
but the long tresses will stay almost as
thew were when being treated, save that
the shade will become dingy and worn,

IN this case is a matter of weeks. and
it takes a good deal of courage to stick
to the resolution to give up changing.
The treatment after bleaching or dye
ing is the same. Massage, brushing and
grease are to be applied every day.
At night, after the hairpins have been
taken out, a long brisaled brush should
be drawn through, from scalp to ends,

ten. The hair is to be divided into
sections that are stroked separately.

NEW FISH STORY,

The latest use of the telephone is in
locating shoals of fish. The electric
apparatus is German patent. A micro
phone, inclosed in a water tight case,
connected with an electric battery and
telephone, is lowered into the water
So long as the telephone hangs free no
sound is heard, but on its coming into
contact with a shoal of fish the constant
tapping of the fish against the micro
phone case produce series of sounds
which at once betray their presence.
The cord attached to the microphone is
marked so that the exact depth of the
shoa1 is designated.

MAKING FLESH.

Drinking hot milk is flesh making. A
glass several times through the day and
at night, before going to bed, may be
taken. Chocolate, a cup of it daily at
luncheon, is also flesh making. If you
can take olive oil internally it is highly
recommended by some physicions. The
dose begins with a teaspoonful three
times a day, increasing, when one can,
to tablespoonful. 1t disagrees posi-
lively with many persons. Cod liver
oil, used both as a massage cream and
taken internally, is also fattening.

Misery in Stomach.

Why not start now-tO day, and for
ever rid yourself of Stomach trouble
and Indigestion? A dieted stomach gets
the blues and grumbles. Give it a
good eat, then take Pape's Diapepsin
to start the digestive juices working.
There will be no dyspepsia or belching
of Gas or eructations of undigested
food; no feeling like a lump of lead in
the stomach or heartburn, sick head
ache and Dizziness, and your food will
not ferment and poison your breath
with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin costs only SO cents
for large case at any drug store here,
and will relieve the most obstinate case
of indigestion and Upset Stomach in
five minutes.
There is nothing else better to take
Gas from the Stomach and cleanse the
stomach and intestines. and besides,
one triangule will digest and prepare
for assimilation into the blood all your
food the same as a sound, healthy
stomach would do it.
When Diapepsin works your stom-
ach rests-gets itself in order, cleans
up-and then you feel like eating when
you come to the table, and what you
eat will do you good.
Absolute relief from all stomach
Misery is waiting for you as soon as
you decide to begin taking Diapepsin.
Tell your druggist that you want
Pape's Diapepsin, because you want to
be thoroughly cured of Indigestion.

The Difference.

What is the difference between high
grade and low grade baking powders?
All baking powders are white and are
sold in round cans with bright labels.
They look alike, but in contents they
are very different.
High grade baking powders are made
of pure cream of tartar derived from
grapes. They are healthful and eco
nomical to use.
Low-grade baking powders are made
of alum, an astringent mineral acid.
Before the Pure Food Law only a
chemist could tell by analysis one from
the other.
But now baking powders have the
ingredients printed on the back of the
label. By reading the label the house
keeper knows the ingredients and be-
ing careful of the welfare of her house
hold, avoids the Alum kind of baking
powder.
Good baking powder is one of the
most useful things in the kitchen-and
there is difference. ~.

Rheumatism Recipe.

A well-known authority on Rheuma-
tism gives the following valuable
though simple and harmless, prescrip-
stion, which any one can easily prepare
at home;
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in bottle, and
take teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
tion pharmacy at small cost, and, being
of vegetable extraction, are harmless
to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly fora few days, is, said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any. dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called Rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, ETC., some of which
do give relief, few really give peuna-
nent results, and the above will, no
dubt, be greatly appreciated by many
sufferers here at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicits the information
that these drugs are harmless and can
be bought separately, or the druggists
here will mix the prescription for our
readers if asked to.
