Keep ] Bowels
 0pen; Freq

There Is no function of the human body so important as keeping the bow els open. Upon the condition of the bowels. more than upon any other one thing. depends the health and well-be- Ing of the entire system. There is constipation and stomach trouble com plicated with 1t. It Is at the bottom of most of the serious diseases of life.
 Every grown up human being ought to have at least one full and easy evacuation of the bowels every 24 hours. But unfortunately there are Thousands who do not see this. No pf their constipation. and no matter -hQw chronic and long-standing 1t Is, NY will not find better cure than tn6f weiikuown pr. Caldweils Syrup Pepsin. So confident are the dispensers Of this wonderful laxative that it will cure any case of constipation in young or old. that they will send a free test bottle to anyone who sends name and address to pr. Caldwell.
 The sample will do for any consti- pated person what 1t did for Mrs. W. D. Fuller, of Eaton Rapids, Mich.. for Mir. J. F. Edwards, of Lebanon, Tenn, and q host of others in all sections of the country After having used the Aample they will do as Mrs. Fuller and MT. Edwards did. which Is to go to the nearest drug store and buy reg ular bootis. which costs 50 cents or q. according to the size- pr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin is not a tablet or powder, but a liquid laxative tonic, which Is what good constipation re- medy should be. Thousands who once sent for the free test bottle now have pr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin regularly in the house. It is the most scientific { blending of laxative ingredients ever put before the world.

Were simple inspection Of sta
bles all that is needed, force of
four inspectors, specially detailed
for this work, could cover the Dis
trict OF Columbia, examining ever,
stable after they were once To-
Gated and mapped, once week.
The average salary of an inspec.
tor is $1147, so that the total ex-
pense for the first year was some
thing like $4,000. But much of the
time of inspectors is taken in the
prosecution Of the owners Of ne
elected premises. Moreover, the
health officer found during the
summer of 1908, in his prosecu-
ton of the owners or managers Of
insanitary restaurants, that his in
spectors we're practically sworn
out of court by the, multiplicity Of
opposing evidence. This means
that it will be necessary in such
cases TO send two inspectors to-
gether in all cases, SO that the
testimony Of one may be supported
by the testimony Of the other.
This, perhaps, would double the
number of necessary inspectors,
making the expense of the service
this year something over $4,000.

And things verging on the scan
dalous are likewise promised. For
example: 1t is said that Lodge has
been more solicitous in serving GER
tain steamship interests of his
state than the people. An appropri-
alton will be instanced, inserted by
him in one of the big supply bills
over which he presides, providing
for the purchase by the navy de-
partment of some old ships for sale
at Boston. This appropriation
amounted to about million dol
lars, and the description of the
ships made the bill imperative. But
the secretary of the navy discover
ed a technical loOphole enabling
him to advertise for ships, and he
secured other ships at a price
some $500 900 less than that named
by Lodge as the price to be paid.
Which will be used in the cam
paign of Butler AmeS.

N DONALD WILL
MISS BOARD
BILLS

J. NJ. Mcdonald, attorney and
bank promoter, has concluded that
for the present at least it is cheap
err for him to continue boarding at
the county Jail than to pay hotel
bills.
Mcdonald is charged with kid
naping his niece, Lois Mcdonald.
last November. Prior to Mcdonald
coming to Spokane, nearly year
ago. he was an attorney at Grange
vile, Idaho, and helped to organize
chain of some five banks in diff
ferent Idaho towns in the Grange
VILE country. He has certificates
of his good character at Grange
vile signed by preachers, bankers,
a superior court judge and others,
which high standing seems to have
failed him since coming to Spo-
kane.
Mcdonald blames all of his trou-
bles to worry over the long drawn
out battle for the Mcdonald chill
dren. waged in three states, and
which has caused him to be twice
confined in the Spokane county
Jail on a charge of kidnapping. He
said the approach of his trial,
which was set for yesterday, caus-
ed him to forget himself Saturday
and when in that forgetful condi-
ton Mcdonald says that he is no
reSpecter of conyentionalities.
Mcdonald is now repentant, but
is willing to stay in the county
Jail for the present. He says the
report that he knew where his
nieces are is mistake. He denies
having any knowledge as to their
whereabouts, or that of his wife,
who disappeared about the same
time. He is willing to go out in
search of the missing Mcdonald
connection If the state will lift the
charge of kidnapping against him,
but Deputy Prosecutor Donovan
will not entertain any such detec-
tive engagement on the part of
Mcdonald. Donovan says Melon
aid could easily aid in the recovery
of the children if he wanted to, and
thinks he may yet before the state
gets through with him.
Mcdonald today suggested the
possibility that the elder Mcdonald
sister, Madeline, had contracted
marriage since leaving Spokane,
but would give no particulars.
