HOME BOOSTING HINTS.

Optimism spells outlook. There is
no outlook for the pessimist who sits
down and complains because things
are not coming his way. What he
needs to do is to get up and go out
and yank things his way by the scruff
of their neclzs.
Trade at home and keep the home
cash in circulation right around home.
A bargain that dries up the Iifeblood
Of the community by transfusing the
blood to some other place is not so
much Of a bargain as it appears to the
unthinking person.
Energize! That's a mighty forceful
word, one Of the most forceful in the
whole unabridged dictionary. If you
energize you will make things hum,
and by making things hum you will
do the things you want to do. This
applies to individuals as well as to
towns or communities collectively.
Every individual is a unit as we'll as
a spoke in the wheel. If some individ-
uaIs want to turn one way and others
want to turn other ways, how is the
wheel going to move? Think of your
community as a wheel and turn with
it-forward, not backward. II the
wheel is now turning backward face
about all your spokes and change the
direction.
Small town people sometimes fall
into the habit Of running down their
own place in conversation. This is al
most as bad as saying you wish you
had married another woman instead
Vt your wife. If you said that and
your wife heard Of it, probably you
would have a chance to get another
woman. But you'll never have much
of a chance to get another town until
you improve the one you're in so that
you'll love it for its own sake. Be
kind to your home place and it Will
be kind TO you.

IT is Evans Park.

The park on Homestead Addition will
hereafter be known as Evans Park, the
name being given in honor Of Hon. J..
II. Evans, one of the oldest surviving
settlers Of this city. Through the
generosity Of his daughter, Mary, now
Mrs. VIM. Mason, Of Evanston, Ill, the
committee, which was appointed by the
civic association to look after this park,
have been instructed by her to see that
a curb is placed around the whole park
Immediately, that the grounds be pre-
pared for flower beds, that the place be
re seeded, and put in the best possible
shape, and that park seats be provided.
This will mean an expenditure of
several hundred dollars, which Mrs.
Mason will donate.

OF Interest to Farmers and
Mechanics.

Farmers and mechanics frequently
meet with slight accidents and injuries which
cause them much annoyance and loss of time.
A cut or bruise may be cured in about one third
the time usually required by applying Chamber
lain Lniment as soon as the injury is received.
This liniment is also valuable for sprains, sore

swollen. For sale by Metz's Pharmacy.

APPRECIATED BY TRADERS.

Travellers for commercial houses,
farmers and their families coming into

some place where they could rest and
talk over business matters or arrange
a deal. To supply this need an ex-
pertinent has been tried and proved
successful 1t is regarded as a good
business investment, and what Sunny
side Wash, n small town of about
1900 in the fertile Yakima valley, has
done can be at least attempted by 9th

Yakima valley is settled quite thick

ranches, the majority are small ranches

many people drive there to trade If
it happens to be windy or dusty the
visitors present a disheyeled and al
most demoraIiZed appearance and would
like some convenient room where they
could retouch their toilet and restore
that harmonious and chic complete
ness so dear to both men and women.
The necessity existed, and a few en-
ergetic women saw it and determined
to do something, but they had not
penny to start with. Anyway, they
started. The Public Rest Room club
Sprang into existence. There are
president secretary and treasurer and
an executive board. The president is

was donated to offset the expense Of
putting the room in order; it was pa

where men, women and children could
come in and enjoy a warm fire, a rock

zines. There is no charge for any Of
these comforts, but a box for free will
offerings stands on the table.
Men know where to find their wives
when they are through shopping.
Friends make appointments to meet
each other at the rest room.
The club is not a money making
scheme, as no one gets a cent but the
matron. There is also q library of

monthly % cents and upward, which
more than pays the rent, and any sur

life about 1000 visits were paid to the
rest room, and the merchants look
upon it as Il good business Investment.
The new quarters have four rooms

Those attractive women who are love-
Iy in face, form and temper are the envy of
many, who might be like them. A weak, sickly

blotches, skin eruptions and a wretched COM

owe their health and beauty to them. SOC at
