Public Pays
High for Eggs

What is the matter with the hen:
Local grocers are gravely ponderins
this question, meanwhile dishing out
case eggs to the patient public at 30c
per dozen. At this time Of year eggs
are usually falling to the summer level,
and with the continued good weather
of the past two weeks there seems
to be no reason for the scarcity. Deal
ers are unable to say how long this
condition in the egg market will pre-
vail, but it is the opinion of the ma
jority that a fall will come in a week
or two.
Spinach has been on sale this week
rom the neighboring gardens. though
delayed for several weeks by the I'M
usual winter. AS usual, however, it
was the first homegrown product on
the market.

WINTER CLOTHES LIGHTER.

Il repeat" said President Taft in
his Lincoln Day speech, since made Of
fetal by Senator Hale's publication Of
it in the Congressional Record. 81 re-
peat, therefore, that this was a down.
ward revision. 1t was not downward
with reference to silks or liquors or
high priced cottons in the nature OF
luxuries.
Nor was the Payne Aldrich revision
downward one as regarding woolens,
either the class of woolens used by the
rich or poor. Wooden goods bear q
compensatory duty of from 33 to A
cents a pound, depending upon value
which is supposed merely to compen-
safe the manufacturer for the duty on
raw wool, but which actually does
much more-plus so or 55 per cent. ad
valorem. On last years imports the
duty averaged 81 per cent; but, as
usual throughout our tariff, the du-
ties bear heaviest on the cheapest
goods. On those costing SO IL cents
a pound it was 140 per cent; on those
costing over 20 cents a pound it was
70 per cent.
1.-The wooden schedule has" says
Editor Dale, of the Textile World
Record a protectionist, deprived the
people of an adequate supply OF cloth
ing, blankets and other articles OF
wool. 1t has compelled the use of in
ferior substitutes for wool and forced
manufacturers to reduce the weight
of all-wool clothes, so those goods fan
to give proper protection against damp
ness and cold to the wearer."
1.-THE result of the Dingley wool
schedule-absolutely unchanged in the
new law except for the worst" declares
a protest presented to congress by an
association comprising 81 per cent Of
the leading manufacturers of clothing
in the United States has been to re-
duce the quality and diminish the
weight per yard, especially in the
clothes out of which popular priced
clothing is made, thereby making that
clothing less durable

and the wonderful cures they have
accomplished So 1 made up my mind
to go and see these noted specialists.
Fer Don's experts examined me and
told me / was troubled with liver dis
ease and nervousness. They then
gave me three doses of a peculiar
medicine and told me to go home and
vice. I was given. 1t was pleasant
advice. The treatment, / found, wasn't
painful or even unpleasant and
would you believe that / was relieved
of many gall-stones. some as large as
a pea? I am now feeling, fine and
forgetting that I ever had been sick.
1 certainly thank F'er-Don's Medical
Experts for what they have done for
me and can highly recommend them
to all sufferers, as 1 believe they can
cure any diseases"
Fer-Don Now in WalIa WalIa.
Fer-Don's medical experts have
come to Walla Walla to stay and nave
opened up permanent offices at State
hotel There has been a steady swarm
of people calling on these experts
daily. So much has been said and
talked about Fer-Don that his repu-
tation is spreading like wildfire, and
the cures performed by his staff OF
medical experts is the talk of the COM

The name of a prominent woman
well known in Seattle would be enough
to guarantee a person that Fer Don's
experts are reliable and can be de-
pended upon to cure chronic diseases
when other doctors have failed Such
a name is that of Mrs. Emma Smith,
living at 1927 Thirty-firs avenue
South, Seattle. In speaking of her
wonderful cure, Mrs. Smith stated as
follows: Il feel grateful to Fer-Don
and his experts. Iwant to grant them
any courtesy that 1 can, and 7 think
it only proper and just that I SHOULD
help out as much as possible the nu-
merous other people who are suffer-
ing from disease that made me mis-
cradle for years. So / told Fer-Don's
experts that / was perfectly willing
to tell how I was cured to any one.
Ny disease had baffled every doctor l
went to see. One would tell me this,
and another would tell me that 1
was discouraged, nerovus and de-
pressed, and had no ambition. At
times 1 would almost cry with pain
in my side and back. Some days /
would have to be in bed. My liver
was in a very bad condition. My COM
plexiOn was yellow as saffron at
times. / also had weak and dizzy
spells come over me- Hot and cold

fee for the privilege of sitting in the
car, while being transported to the
destination stamped on the ticket.
The most ridiculous feature Of the
car rental situation is yet to be told,
however. While the entire cost of con-
struction and equipment does not ex-
coed, $1,000 each. the government pays
an annual rental on these cars of $3,-
$3.50. The average lifetime of mail
car is ten years. For a $1,000 car the
government pays $35,751 in rentals.
Is there surprise that the postoffce
department is not self-sustaining un-
der such business methods?

WHY PosToFFIcE DOESN'T PAY.

One of the reasons the postoffice de-
partment is being run at loss is that
the government is paying the railroads
too much for the carrying of the mails.
Congress has just appropriated s46. O0O.-
OO0 TO pay for the carrying of the mails
in the fiscal year 1911. This sum is
more than double the amount the ex-
press companies pay for carrying a
similar amount of like matter.
But another and more serious COM
plant can be justly made against the
business methods of the postoffice de-
partment in the rental of postoffica
cars from the railroads of the country.
In addition to paying the railroads so
much pound for the hauling of the
mails, the government in its unexam-
pied generosity also hands over $4,000
900 each year for the rental of the cars
in which the mails are hauled. A paral-
lei case would be one which would re-
quire a person to buy railroad tick
ct to a certain point, and then pay a
