The saloon has provided toilet

municipalities are far behind German

THIS is MY nth Il IRTHDAY-
Sir Andrew Noble.

Sir Andrew NODle.
Sir Andrew Noble. who Is said to
be the worlds greatest authority IN
guns and explosives, was born in
Greenock, Scotland, September 13,
1882, and received his early educa-
ton at Edinburgh academy. His
mother was an American woman and
his father an officer in the British
navy. AS a young man Sir Andrew
was a captain in the Royal artillery.
In 1860 he entered into partnership
with the late Lord Armstrong in the
establishment of a small factory at
Elswick This factory later develop
ed into the largest steel works in the
world, with big guns and warships
as its specialties. The ordnance de-
partment, to which Sir Andrew Noble
has devoted most attention, covers
forty acres and employs 10000 men.
Sir Andrew was chiefly instrumental
in revolutionizing the science of can
non building by substituting steel for
iron in the manufacture of big guns

|. 1UTE FOR SALOON
REV. j. w. BERGER SUGGESTS
VARIOUS MEASURES TENDING
TO FILL VACANCY CAUSED BY
CLOSING OF SALOONS.
Editor Daily World:

Editor Daily World:
With the closing of the saloon
every far-seeing man and woman will
concern themselves in working out
plans that will provide an adequate
and wholesome social AMI physical
center for the men who have hither-
to spent their time and earnings in
the saloon.
The saloons power is built upon
it's recognition and provision for the
social and physical appetites of men.
The passing of the saloon does not
greatly lessen the social and physi-
cal cravings of men. In order that
there be no reaction from the
present attitude in our city, and
above all for the sake of the men,
and young men, of our city so large
a number of whom are living in lodg-
ing and boarding houses, it behoOves
every man and woman and child with
great earnestness to cooperate IN
building up a social life and social
centers that will permanently make
unattractive the saloon. In this arti-
Gle let us consider the centers al
ready in our midst which may be
utilized in building up a truer life
in our city.
First, the public schools. The Sep
TENDER number of the Survey, the
leading sociological paper in Amer
lea, gives an attractive article on the
utilization of the public schools of
Rochester. n. Y, for social educa-
tional and physical purposes.
All through the year the buildings
are thrown open after school hours
for gymnastic and social gatherings.
In the evening the buildings are open
to the parents and the general public.
One evening there will be a popular
lecture or musical, the next evening
a debating club, the following night
a labor union or gathering for purely
social purposes. The school libraries
are open at night to all. And why
! should this not obtain in our city.
The high school library. owned and

supported by the public, ought surely
in the absence of a public library be
accessible to the public and be made
a social center for the homeless men
of our city. A committee composed
of teachers, preachers and laymen
can be organized to make the school
buildings a center for new social
and intellectual life in our commun-
ity. The present school board and
teachers ought to take the first step
in this work.
Ten years ago a most frequent sign
in our parks was Keep off the
grass" Ten years from now the pub
lie buildings and properties will nc
longer be looked upon as forbidden
places but shall have truly come into
the possession of the people whose
generosity created them.
Second, the churches. Every
church in Wenatchee needs greatly

work. A feasible plan would be fol

keep open house for the men on al.

Methodist Brotherhood could take

full of light. and cheer, and music

some for Highway Commissioner. The
Office Of Justice of the Peace has its
aspirants but there does not seem to be

for this Office as in previous years.
The outcome is that there will no

Good housewives consider cleanliness
and purity first of all; that's why Quaker
Oats is their choice among all oatmeals'
In making Quaker Oats the grain IS
sifted and resifted, passing through more
than fifty processes of cleaning before IT
is cooked and rolled.
If YOU took a handful of oats and
scrubbed and polished and wiped each
separate grain, it wouldn't then be nearly
as clean as Quaker Oats. No human
hand ever touches single grain OF
Quaker Oats from the field to your
kitchen. The best advice on foods you
could have is: Eat Quaker Oats every
