The immense popular
ity and sale of the Pr
anola Piano brings to
us each week in ex-
change, as part pay
ment, secondhand pi-
amos of better than the
average sort. The Pr
anola Piano is most
frequently sold to
l-to-do people, who,
if they have pianos to
exchange, ordinarily
have one of good
grade.
Then, too, a city like
Tacoma has many
homes where upright
pianos purchased for
the daughter to learn
on are later exchanged
as part payment for
baby grands. The pi-
amos included in this
sale-all of them
have been thoroughly
regulated, tuned, poi
ished, and will leave
our store in first-class
condition. They will
sell quickly, so call at
once if you would have
the best selection.

And the fashions must be follow
ed. From this dictum there is no
escape. Rich and poor alike, if she
would be happy, must submit. Ev-
cry woman knows that it is better
to be dead than out of fashion.
And the cost? All, we'll, that is a
minor consideration. To the woman
who knows how to dress it can be
managed, no matter how small her
income There are always cheap
limitations, and remarkably clever
ones, of every freak fashion almost
as soon as it appears. There are
shops where rats are sold for ten
cents and where lingerie waists of
the most open-work pattern may be
bought for ninety-eight. AS these
things are never brought into close
proximity with the things they imi-
tate no odious comparison can be
made, and they easily pass muster
among the women who wear them.
Some women spend each year on
dress alone sums varying from $780,
600 (this is a usual amount) to as
high as 100000. ~ Two hundred
dollars for hat, three thousand dol

SAYS STOP MAkING ORPHANS
THAT is MORE IMPORTANT THAN
CARING FOR THEM, HE
DECLARES.

WASHINGTON.-''It is as i'm
portant to stop the needless manu-
facture of orphans as it is to take
care of orphans" r. tH- ..-..'
This, in a nutshell, is the view Of
Judge Ben B. Lindsey. Of the Denver
juvenile court, who is probably the
most famous friend of the children
in the world. He had just come
from a conference with President
Roosevelt over the advisability of
creating a children's bureau in the
department of the interior, and was
running over with his plans for the
new child-reclaiming enterprise.
How is it possible to prevent
children from becoming orphans?"
asked Judge Lindsey.
by preventing the needless &C
cidental killings in mines and on
railroads" he replied quickly. ...,-..
The state is responsible in
measure for the care of dependent
children. The state ought also to
feel it's responsibility in a large
measure for the prevention of need
less killings and maimings in our
industrial activities.
For instance take the fatalities
that occur in coal mines in the
United States each year. At con-
sentative estimate there are 1000
new orphans annually as result of
the killing of the fathers in coal
mines. 1t is estimated that the
period of dependency of these chill
dren is 16 years. In a single gem
Grafton there are, at a conservative
estimate, 10000 children thrown
upon the care of the state or private
charities just as a result of coal
mining accidents. Think of it. And
this only in a single industry.
"a third of such accidents could
be prevented This is no guess. 1t
is demonstration. Proper inspection
and regulation, as conducted in Ger
many and Belgium, has resulted in
decreasing fatal accidents a thlrd.
Perhaps the proportion is larger.
But suppose it is third; that is
large enough.
IF proper legislation requiring
more precaution could prevent the
creation of a, third of these orphans
and otherwise dependent children
then it is an awful responsibility as
sumed by the state when it permits
this slaughter to go on.
I'm every industry there is fixed
rate of accidental deaths. In some
industries that rate could be reduced.
In others the consequences OF the
accidental death or injury could be
lforeseen and made the subject OF the
proper compensation"

FELL FROM SCAFFOLD
AND INJURED HIS BACK.

Thirty years ago James G. Lee OF
400 Ninth street, S. E., Washington,
D. c., fell from a scaffold and seri-
ously injured his back. In telling
about it he says: ''My suffering was
terrible; from the small of my back
all around my stomach was just as
if l had been beaten with a club.
I tried all kinds of plasters, bella
donna, capcine and porous, without
getting relief, and bought so-called
electric belts, but none of them did
me any good.
One day, while working near my
daughters house, my back panied me
so badly that l had to quit. | went
into the house and lay down for ease.
My daughter had a bottle of Sloan S
Liniment in the house, and she
rubbed my back well with it and
gave me some to take home, used
six and half bottles of SlOan's csc
Lif1iment, and can do as much work
now as any man in the shop, although
/ am siXty-seven years old ! would
not be without Sloan's Liniment for
any consideration, and recommend it
Ito anyone suffering pain"

THE COST OF BEING FASHIONABLE

lars for a single eoat--these prices
soon run into money!
American women have the reputa-
ton of spending more. recklessly for
clothes than the women of any other
nation. " This is probably not true,
however, and the idea has gained
credence only because there are
more American women who follow
the fashions than. there are of any
other nationality. Here even the fac
tory girl or the poor mechanics wife
must have her Merry Widow or her
coronet braid as soon the great ladies
of the fashionable world In other
countries there is usually a middle
and a poorer class which do not
attempt to initiate the dress of their
wealthier sisters.
But over all the world this great
passion holds it's sway. With women
it takes the place of all that passion
for gambling and wine which pos
sesses the lives of so many men.
Women may indulge in many weak
nesses, but only as side issues, so
to speak, her one grand passion is
that of dress. And surely the apple
which the serpent offered Eve was
in the form of something to wear!

BROOKS COUNTY BACON.
Farmers Have Not Lost Much Meat
and Will Market $4,000 Worth.


and Will Market $4,000 Worth.
Reports from various parts of
south Georgia are to the effect that
a good deal of meat has been lost on
account of the unusually warm win
ter
Mr.. c. NJ. Powers, one of the
largest purchasers of country bacon
in Quitman, says he does not believe
there has been any such loss in
Brooks county. He does not think
the usual amount Of meat produced
in the county will be reduced.
Il bought one lot of 5000 pounds
from a farmer few days ago, and
it was sound and sweet and well
cured. l did not find bad piece in
the lot" said Mr.. Powers. "Of
course this is possible in this eli
mate and with such a winter only
because all the farmers nearly have
cold storage facilities. They could
not depend on the cold waves, and so
they use ice"
The recent cold gave, however,
fastened the departure of many fat
porkers, and the market will be brisk
from now on. Fully $4,000 worth
of home-raised bacon will be sold
from the county.

The number. of horses in the
United States on January L., 1908,
was 100000, and they were worth
total of $1,867530,0O0, or an av-
erage of $93.41 each. During the
succeeding year, ending January /,
1909. the number of horses had in
creased to 20,640, 900; their value
had advanced more than $100,000,-
900 to the sum of S1,974,O52,0 900,
and the average price was 1854, or
1929 more than the previous year
The number of mules in the Coun-
try is 4,053,000. valued at $437,-
082, 900, or an average of $10784
per head; that is about $12.25 more
per mule than horses are worth.
This is an increase of $4,000 mules
during the year 1908, $20,143, 900
in value and cents per head. The
increase in 1907 was $4,000 mules,

that their shops are so offensive to
American nostrils.
Their groceries and vegetable
stands also are kept in filthy condi-
ton, and the houses which they in
habit have the unmistakable Japan
| csc odor.
A Menace to Morals.
Morally the Japanese are a me-
mace, as they have the Oriental idea
about women, and young girls are
liable to insult from them, espe-
eiaIly at night. They are. noisy in
their homes, and frequently in the
street, as the rice brandy which
| they drink easily makes them hila-
rious In this respect they dltter
radically from the Chinese, who sell
dom show any effects of drink.
The San Francisco. school question
was pretty thoroughly thrashed out
two years ago, but the feeling against
these Oriental pupils still remains.
This prejudice rests entirely upon the
mature age of most of the japanese
youths who demand instruction in the
primary and grammar grades Nine
tenths of the Japanese applicants for
admission to the public schools are
boys from 6 to 20 years of age, who
are no further advanced in their
studies than American boys 8 or 10
years old. ..F g. -", "s.'i
These. Japanese are men of ORR
entail training, and anyone can see
the danger of permitting them to
sit in the school room beside little
American girls of tender years. This
was the feature that first led to the
demand for segregating the Japan
ese pupils. There would have been
no trouble had these Japanese been
of the same age as the white chill
dren but their maturity was a me-
mace to the morals of the young chill
dren, which any teacher could not
fail to recognize.
Undesirable Farm Hands.
Throughout California there is a
strong minority that regards Oriental
emigration as d necessity to the prop
er development Of the state. Among
these may be named the owners of
steamships and railroad lines, the
or managers of large
fruit ranches and those who employ
many men in rude, unskilled labor.
Yet the Japanese are far from being
workers. They are
handled by bosses, like the Italian
padroni. A fruit grower makes a
contract for so or 100 Japanese fruit
pickers for so many days; he fur-
nfshes them food, as he used to fur
nish the Chinese, and similar quar-
ters. But he is never free from anX-
iety, as the japanese are quick to
take offense over Slight or imaginary
causes, and when they fly into a rage
persuasion is useless. 1t is no I'M
common thing for rancher to have
all his Japanese fruit ptckers go on a
strike because of some fancied insult
by a white foreman, Neither the
men nor their boss seem to have any
regard for broken contracts. 1t is
this trait of the Japanese which has
made them undesirable farm hands.
