TAX FOR ADVERTISING PUR-
POSES.

A bill was introduced in the house
on Thursday by Bell, of Pierce coun-
", authorizing each of the various
counties of the state to make a spe-
cial tax to raise funds to advertise the
county, for the purpose of attract
ing settlers and investors. This is
a measure aimed in the right direc-
ton
No single state in the Union has
found as large profit in advertising
is has the state of California, and NJ
state has spent more public money
for this purpose. The experiment was
tried in small way and brought such
large returns that many California
counties now make large annual APP
preparations for this purpose, Il par
rose which meets with the uniform
AL oval of all Tie taxpayers.
Advertising a state has proved as
profitable an advertisement as a!""~
t'sing business. When d1nc incl
ligently and persistentlJ all bv t1e
use of public money for the purpose,
as has been done in California, it has
brought the advantages of the state
before hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie. with the result of attracting an
nually thousands of new settlers and
millions of money for investment.
No other state in the Union has
resources to compare with those Of
Washington. These resources are
but partially developed. The oppor-
tunities for men of brains and en-
ergy are nowhere else anything like
as good as they are here. There are
thousands of openings for the profit
able investment of capital. These
facts are becoming known in limit
ed way outside of the state, with the
result seen in a marvellous expan-
sion in population and in industrial
development within the past few
years. But intelligent advertising
such as has been done by California
will widen the circle wherein a
knowledge of what Washington has
to offer is known. 1t will result in
bringing thousands of settlers here,
and capital in enormous quantities.
A tax laid. with the consent of the
people, to do advertising of this kind
is legitimate one, and will be profit
able to a degree out of all COMPARE
son to the cost.-Seattle Post-Intel-
ligencer.

QUEEN ALEXANDRIA is ABSTE-
MIOUS.

1t is only by unflagging persistence
in restricting her diet to the simplest
foods that Queen Alexandria so Won
derfully preserves her slimness of
figure and genuine appearance of
youth. =
Two thin slices of brown bread,
spread with unsalted butter are eaten
by the queen before rising. This is
at 500 o'clock and breakfast at IL
consists of a little fruit, one coddled
egg and two dry biscuits. Then there
is a fast until four o'clock, when she
eats two honey cakes. The queen
never touches the course dinner serv-
ed for the rest of the household. In
stead she eats a few small French
oysters, grilled on toast, celery, raw
or stewed, and a salad dressed with
oil and salt. Her only sweet is an
apple baked with honey. A favorite
| luncheon at Sandringham is whole
wheat bread and fresh buttermilk
| from a cedar churn. Whenever the
opportunity offers the queen and
drinks sparingly of the buttermilk
as it comes from the churn.-Phila'

Be SUPPRESSED
VINDICTIVENESS OF CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATORS is A MENACE TO
COAST AT MERCY OF JAPS.
Special to the World.

opCCldi W Tie WOTIu.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Never
before since the trouble between the
people of San Francisco and the Jap
anese residents of that city arose
over the school question has the rup-
ture point between America and the
Japanese government been so near
as at present.
That this is the view taken of the
situation by President Roosevelt be-
came known today in official circles
The president is actually gravely
concerned over the matter. He no
longer conceals his feelings. 1t is
now known that he foresees, in the
event that California legislature en-
acts anti-Japanese legislation, the
gravest kind of consequences.
He expressed the hope today that
the legislators would live up to their
promise to take no action in the near
future concerning measures against
the Mikado's subjects.
IF Japan desired to do so she could
descend upon our shores of the Pa
cific ocean and do great injury before
we could retaliate." today declared
former Mayor Phelan, of San Fran
cisco, who is here in the interest of
legislation affecting the Pacific coast.
He declares that various coast
cities requested the president last
summer to keep the Atlantic fleet in
the Pacific ocean, but that the reply
was that the original program would
be carried out
THAT left our coast unprotected, -
said Mr.. Phelan. "You will remem-
Der that Japan struck Russia when
the Russians least expected it and
attacked Port Arthur while Russia
was feigning. Japan would do the
same to the United States. If such
a thing happened We would have
thousands of enemies in our midst
Hawaii is even worse off.

ARE UNHAPPY
WOMEN, SAYS NATU-
RALIST JOHN BURROUGHS
WILL RESENT STATEMENT
THAT MONEY is WHAT WIFE
WANTS.
Special to the World.

Special 10 the WOElu-
Ithaca, n. Y, Jan. 25.-John Bur-
roughs, the naturalist, who is visit
ing here, believes that few million
aires are really happy. He is quoted
in an interview as follows:
Il do not believe in the doctrine
attributed to John d. Rockefeller
that if you want to make your wife
hapy all you have to do is to give her
plenty of money. l do not believe the
possession of money and happiness
are synonymous. If Mr.. Rockefeller
has been quoted correctly, he is max
ing a declaration that l believe
American women, and women all over
the world will resent. They want love
first of all. if they are provided with
the right instincts.
81 sat behind Jay Gould in school,
and once he wrote a composition on
slate for me when | needed ideas.
That day he needed 70 cents, and l
gave the sum to him for two old
school books l saw him later in
life when he was worth $4,000, 900.
but | do not think he was happy.
The money fire was blazing in his
eyes, and 1 am sure it reached his
brain and consumed his life, sending
him to an untimely grave.
THE great problem of the day is
/ the making of money. 1t is unques-
! tionably the occupation of the vast
majority of people. But from what
/ have seen of life and those lead
/ ing it, when one has obtained a COM
| potency, money is superfluous, just
! like an excess of what is needed to
round cut the figure and give ii a
handsome appearance. Piling up
wealth then becomes like piling on
flesh and greatly binders the enjoy
ment of the best things of this life,
Few MilIionaires Happy III
Il know millionaires and k8tE
very few happy ones. True, Mr. Car
negie seems to be an exception, be-
cause he is different from many other
rich men. He is trying to get rid
of his money and he takes a keen
delight in doing good with 1t.
''But even when one disposes of
wealth, if there is the conspicuous
ness that in acquiring it the weaker
creatures have been overcome and
saddened, l think there must be a
tinge of regret in helping others with
this very fruit that has been obtained
at such cost.
Money, of course, is necessary to
provide for the comforts of existence,
but cultured people, say cultured
people, mind you-can doubtless be
contented with books when they can
not buy automobiles.

G.. Brandt, who owns the old F.
Beezley place, has been circulating
petition for the vacation of the
Mission creek road on the east side
of his place The change will improve
the road, improve his property and
inconvenience no one, and the fact
that the petitioners are those who
own property and live up Mission
creek, shows that the change must
be desirable one. Mr.. Brandt is
anxious to straighten the line of his
property and build a fence, and in
compensation for few feet on the
east side of his ranch he is willing
to give the county fifteen feet off the
entire front of his place. The peti-
ton will be presented to the board OF
county commissioners this week.

STATE GEOLOGICAL SURREY.

With nearly one hundred field
parties of the United States geologi-
cal survey operating last year less
than half dozen were employed in
/ the four northwestern states, says
the Northwest Mining News. While
/ this is not as it should be it due to
| the fact that we show no special de-
sire to have our natural resources ex-
plotted To the offer extended by
| the United States geological survey
for cooperative work other states have
responded quickly, with the result
that geological work has gone hand
in hand with topographic mapping.
The geological survey of Maryland
las charge of the expenditure of S =
100000 each year for the next five
years, 100000 per annum of which
is to be spent on the public highways,
the balance to be divided between
geological and other general investi-
cations. Oklahoma adopted a geo
logical survey as a constitutional
obligation, and liberal appropriations
have been provided for annual ex-
penditure. Connecticut and Virginia
have each recently established geo.
! logical surveys, so that today there
are about thirty-five geological sur
vey bureaus in as many states. Ore
gon has finally decided to cooperate
in the working of some topographic
problems. Montana has a university
geological survey and a state mine
inspector who covers some of the
work done by geological surveys
Washington has made appropriations
at two different times for geological
surveys, and has been sorry for T.,
seemingly, as each has found its
death for want of financial support.
British Columbia has long had a
department of mines, through which
regular annual reports have been is
sued by the provincial mineralogists.
The reports have been distributed
widely, and in consequence large
sums of money have been invested in
the mines and allied industries of the
province
The best investment the legisla-
lures of Washington, Idaho, Oregon
and Montana can make right now is
to create geological surveys and pro-
vide them with ample means to do
cooperative topographic work with
the United States geological survey,
for Independent geological and other
work demanded by local conditions,
and publish reports of the results.
Cooperative topographic work con-
Quoted along lines suggested by the
the United States geological survey
lays the foundation for the necessary
detail work of state geological sur
vey and the expense of this primary
work is borne jointly by the fedarl
and state bureaus.

that organization would be appreciated.
Mr.. Leedy thinks that Mr.. Johnston will
act on his suggestion.

Coffee is such a secret worker that it is

find out the truth
A lady In Memphis gives an interest

it for some time and was an invalid

suspected that coffee was the Worm at

regularly in its place.
The wife says: I'VE found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble and we would have gladly
paid hundred times the amount of the
doctors charge when we found how wise
his judgment was.
The use of Postum instead of coffee
was begun about a year ago, and 1t has
made my husband a strong well man
He has gained thirty-five pounds In that
time and his stomach and heart trouble
have all disappeared.
The first time I prepared it did not
boil 1t long enough and he said there
was something wrong with it. Sure
enough it did taste very flat but the next
morning 1 followed directions carefully,
boiling 1t for fifteen minute. and he re-
marked this is better than any of the

tire of telling our friends of the benefit
we have received from leaving of coffee"
