EVERYBODY BOOST

In his talk to the commercial
club of Palouse, where he went last
night as the guest of the club,
Mayor More deplored the idea pre-.
vailing in some of the smaller
towns that Spokane was to be the
chief beneficiary of the extensive
booming of the Inland Empire, in
which work all the commercial
bodies of this region have been
asked to take part.
The mayor said that Spokane
wanted to see Palouse prosper, as
what helped Palouse helped Spo-
kane and vice versa The mayor
called attention to the fact that the
business men of Spokane bore
labor and expense of the freight
rate fight before the interstate
commerce commission without as
sistance from the outside, yet
every community in the Inland EN-
pire has benefited from the deci-
sion.
Mayor Moore urged a "commu-
nifty of interest" feeling among the
cities of the Inland Empire on the
ground that what resulted in the
prosperity of one would rebound to
the benefit of all.

cies. Mr.. Shields is president of

New Drug, PosIam, Now Obtain
able in Small Quantities.
Since its discovery one year ago
the new drug, poslam. has success
fully cured thousands of chronic
cases OF eczema and other distress
ing skin affections. Heretofore
poslam has been dispensed solely
for the benefit of eczema patients
in large jars sufficient for a
months treatment. This was found
to he an inconvenience to many
thousands who use 1t for minor
skin troubles, such as pimples,
blackheads, herpes, acne, scaly
scalp, complexion blemishes. itch
ing feet, piles, etc. which require
but small quantity to cure. To
overcome this. and in response to
urgent appeals. the dispensers Of
poslam have been obliged to adopt.
in addition to the regular two-dol-
lar packages, a special fifty-cent
size, which in future may be found
on sale at Murgittroyd's and Rit-
ter's drug stores, and other lead
ing drug stores in Spokane, or
may be ordered direct from the
Emergency Laboratories, No. 80
West 25th street, New York City.
In all eczema cases poslam stops
itching with first application, and
proceeds to heal Immediately;
chronic cases being cured in two
weeks. In less serious skin trou-
bles, results are seen after an
overnight application.
Samples for experimental pur.
poses may still be had, free oil
charge, by writing to the labora'
tories for them.

In a government for and by the
people the necessity of clearly de-
filming the rights and limitations of
the several branches thereof is
manifest. An hundred years has
demonstrated the far-sightedness
and wisdom of the trainers of that
instrument which has furnished
the foundation of our legislative
action. The vice-president is not
one of the makers of the law. His
duties are rather to regulate in
this body the method of making
them: to regulate not in accord
with his will and ideas but in &C.
cord with rules which you your
selves have established. 1t is for
the presiding officer to require you
to act in conformity with your
self-imposed regulations just as 1t
