Senate Bill No. 4. The bill pro-
vides for a bond issue OF tl8, 900,

TO be used in the construction OF
bridge, when the sum of $4,000
raised from other sources IL made
available. AS tacitly understood
that the county is to give $4,000
to this enterprise. it will raise a
sum Of $4,000 in cash for the
bridge, which sum, economically
handled, without graft, is sufficient
to build the bridge.
Senator Whitaker is In receipt of
bridge bill sent him by some al
legged organization in Boomers Ferry,
which said alleged organization de-
sired him to introduce. The bill
was unconstitutional from the title
to the last clause, and the Senator
disposed Of it in the waste basket.
The title of the bill was deficient in
that it did not enumerate the feat
lures OF the bill--a fatal deficiency,
as was decided By our supreme
court only few years back. The
commission to build the bridge was
entirely omitted from tho title.
But this was not the most serious
legal objection. Tho bill proposed
to appropriate 10000 out Of any

 'Willie's letters are simply splendid.

Why Rengo
 Reduces Fat
Anti-Fats and Starvation Diet Result
 In Wrecking the System.

In cases of fat the food is not properly assimilated-that is, part of the food is retained by the body which should not be retained, and part which should be retained is thrown out. This does not always mean dyspepsia or indigestion, for one may have a very healthy stom- ach and yet begin to grow fat, through no apparent cause.
 It Is evident to any one. then, that to try to starve away the fat is both ridicu- lous and dangerous.
 The use of nti-fats, remedies that posi- lively stop digestion sooner or later re- suits in breakdown of some organ and consequent disease.
 Certain tropical fruits have been known fo~ some time to be remarkable regulators of the system.
 I'll is what Rengo does. It contains a tropical fruit mixture which has this fac ulty of perfectly assimilating food taken Into the body. That is the secret. 1t has resulted in making Rengo a marvel as a fat-reducer and a health builder, ana a Godsend to all fat people.
