 In England the schoolgirls of a hall a century ago plucked at the buttons og their gowns and uttered in a sing-sonj monotone on St. Valentines Day tht verse:
 Tinker, tailor,
 Soldier, sailar,

 Gentle Protest. t The earliest and most popular St. Val entine's Day jingle that has been handed down to the present time Is;
 "The rose is red,
 The violet blue,
 Sugar is sweet
 And so are you" The gentle Dean Swift, in writing to ; friend, describes his first reception of comic valentine:
 'I was seated in my library when ths postmaster arrived and I opened the bag What was my surprise to find my frs greeting on St. Valentines morning to be representation of fat parson, With Il body like pig and a head like dolt. Ot course, it grieved me. for I always con- sidered the day one devoted to everything beautiful in life. But I felt far more compassion for the unfortunate mental condition of the sender than l did for the feelings of the recipient, which were, I assure you quite healed before l finished breakfast"
 The simplicity of this gentle protest. scarcely a rebuke,s is pathetic. Much , more kindIg-a and considerate is the tender missive, even though 1t be sentimental, | like the following If you'll be mine l will be thyme, And so Good Morrow, Valentine''- | For St. Valentines Day is day of joy of love. of happiness.

exempting incomes below $4,000 per
annum, would be a desirable modifica-
ton of the, present system of federal

Whitman is planning to put out a
strong team for this debate and 20
college debaters have been working on
the question for nearly three weeks in
preparation for the tryout which will
occur Wednesday afternoon This will
probably be the only collegiate
debate in which Whitman will partici-
pate this year and many are anxious
to win places on the team Pullman
has won the past two debates and the
Missionaries are working hard to bring
the victory to the home camp this
year.
The Debate council yesterday select
ed list of six men which will be sent
to Pullman, naming the candidates for
judges. W. s. c. will select any three
among the number The list which
was prepared by the Whitman men

Ter, Old National bank, Spokane, and
Lee A. Johnson of Sunnyside.
1t was further decided at this meet

these three institutions formed a tri-
angular debating league but this
league will not be continued. this year.

through improved methods of

improved also and -four that has

of wheat is still better than last
years flour The wheat is stron-

And, of course, indigestion if neg
lected long enough, brings on seri-
GUS diseases in which Kodol cannot
benefit you Some of these there
is no help for at all.
There are, in fact, very few all
ments which cannot be traced di-
rectly to impure blood. And i'm
pure blood is always due to a dis
ordered stomach.
Use Kodol and prevent Nervous
Dyspepsia.
Kodol will effectua1ly assist Ma
ture to secure a complete restora-
ton of good digestion. 1t does
this by at once digesting all food
in the stomach and keeping it d.
gested, until the stomach is rested
and can resume its own work. Ko-
dol removes the causeand the
effect quickly removes itself.
When it is recalled that Apo
plexy, Heart Disease, Cancer-and
even Consumption-are due to
poor digestion and poisons thus
transmitted to the blood, and
throughout the systematic impor-
lance of maintaining good diges-
ton is at once realized.
