ANNUAL REPORT MADE
Dayton's Prosecuting Attorney Makes
Report of Conditions

DAYTON, Wash, Jan. 26-The an
nual report Of Prosecuting Attorney
r. N. Sturdevant for 1909 was issued
today and will be mailed to Cover
nor M. E. Hay this week. The de-
crease of cases both in the superior
and justice courts are due according
to the prosecutor to the fact that Day
ton is now a. "dry' town. Eleven cases
were filed in the superior court, the
smallest number for several years OF
these two are pending, 2 were dismissed
and the remainder were convictions.
In the justice court 81 cases were
filed, Fl of this number resulting in
conviction. Five were acquitted and
four absconded. There were four in
sanity cases and it is remarkable that
only one of these cases ever terminal
ed in commitment
The report shows only divorce
cases as against about three times that
number in 1908. OF the seven incorrig-
ible children's cases three were COM
mited to industrial schools and were
suspended. Total fines and costs col
lected during the year were $1299.57
exclusive of Starbuck, return from
which town will increase this figure
by $3.50. Two civil cases were heard
in the superior court.

if the latter is cut back the sap which
is taken up by the roots must be uti

In winter, prune any time after the

thereafter only a short period will

In cutting off a branch use a saw.
Make the first cut tbaut four inches
from the body of the tree, and on the
underside of the limb. Next make a cut
on the top of the limb one inch nearer

split the bark. Then cut off the stub
of the limb as close to the tree as the

is shut off, the grower must use his

California turnips, turned under, will
help to make available some of the
potash contained in the soil.

FEAR FOR SAFETY
Portland People Fear Schooner Virginia
Has Foundered

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. 26-Serious
apprehension is felt here over the
safety of the schooner Virginia which
sailed from San Francisco for the Co
lumbia river December 81. The Vir-
glnia after coming up to the mouth of
the river on January IL disappeared
and has not been heard from since.
Two or three days ago an incoming
steamer reported sighting a four mast
ed schooner thought to be the Virginia
standing Off the river and it was taken
for granted until today that this was
correct. Now it is thought that the
schooner sighted was not the Virginia
but the Mabel Gale which arrived here
today from San Pedro.

If you find that cold bath does not
produce a quick reaction after rubbing,
sending the blood to the surface with
warming, tingling sensation. you may
be convinced that the cold bath is not
for you. And my advice is not to per-
sist in it's use, for you are using up
so much necessary vitality that should
be economically nursed.
The majority of women find that
daily tepid bath, with soap or salt, ia

fetal. After the body has been thor
oughly sponged, cold water may be
gradually added and allowed to reach a
point of temperature which gives the
best results.

suggested a number of exercises with

This cold bathing prepares the body
and skin for it's contact with the cold
outdoors, rendering person less sensi-
BILE to the changes of the atmosphere.
The Diet Must be Regulated.
More food is required in winter than
in summer. In order to counteract the
effect of the low temperature, a wom-
an should regulate her diet according
ly, making the supply of blood more
abundant and thicker More meat, SUI
gar, starch, and oily foods should be
consumed than in summer, for these
are fuel foods those which support
our bodies by generating heat
Eating insufficient food containing
the necessary nutriment is responsible
for the low vitality endured by many
women. A low temperature stimulates
the appetite, which is a pretty good
censor, whereas a high temperature
produces the opposite effect.
A thin, anaemic woman especially
should never permit herself to become
hungry without satisfying the appetite
temporarily at least.
A cup of hot milk and a few crack
a woman may take between meals or
with them. Before starting on your
street car ride home at night, especial
ly when the rid: is long, take a cup OF
hot milk or chocolate as simple means
of stimulating, if nothing more.

$3.50 with the common to fair warmed

but common light weight stuff is
slow and weak.
Hogs.
Under the influence of very limited
supplies the market has been active
all week and last weeks advance has
been well sustained. All classes of
buyers have been trying hard to force
values to a lower level, but they have
been unable to do so in the face of
the meager arrivals at market. De-
mand for product seems to be very
good, but the provision situation has
been bad for some time and this has
made all the packers bearish. The
feature of the local trade all week has
Deen that prices have been practically
on n Chicago basis and still the coun-
try refuses to be stampeded. Either
the hogs are not in the country or
they are in very strong hands. Range
of prices is not very wide but heavies
are still at the bottom and lights at
the top of the list.
Sheep.
Conditions in the sheep market have
been rather peculiar. Following last
weeks big advance the demand for
fat stock fell off considerably so that,
although supplies have been very
moderate this week, there has been
lower trend to values most of the
time, closing quotations being about
sc lower on an average. Feeder buy
ers are again getting busy on the
warmed up and thin stuff and the
tone of the market was firmer toward
the close.
