Compound Kargon was sold to
druggists in LOU bottles and
the prescription called for one-ounce
combined with syrup of Sarsaparril-

both well known official remedies.
Now the contents of this

with the fluid extract of buchu

cept that it was only about one-third
the strength of the official prepare
ton. This fluid extract is worth
about fifteen ceents per ounce at re-
tail so hat the purchaser got a weak
er extract at three times the price
of the standard and that netted a
very neat profit for the advertiser.
This Compound Kargon was of some
benefit to purchasers; it could have
other preparations have a little merit,
but some of them that we have exam
ined have no merit whatever. In
one instance a nickle's worth of boraX
is all the customer gets for his
money. But we are not talking about
the preparation itself. 1t is the adj
yertising we are condemning. It is
tricky, sleight of hand, a %pretense,
and the reader of the advertisement
is so badly deceived that in most
cases he will not believe the drug
gist who explains to him, but
goes out and buys at some other
store.
When you see one of this kind of
ads in the future, pass it up, or
take it at its real value, If you want
to try 1t the druggist will get it for
you. but don't expect him to keep it
in stock.
Every druggist who stocks up
with these things is sure to get
stuck with some of them at the
windup-and some of them wind
up in IA very short time.
Most of them are absolutely worth
less-made to sell, not made to cure.

HAIRCUT PRICES TO
Re RAISED
Eastern BARRIERS Would
Charge More for Men
Who Do Own Shaving.

Chicago, Dec. 20.-Another item
to the high cost of living list prob
ably will be added at meeting of
the BARRIERS Safety Association at
the Metropolitan Hotel tonight, when
the tonsorial artists will ballot on
proposition of raising the price of
. haircut to so cents as far as con-
Germs men who shave themselves.
Many members OF the association
are urging that the 'self-shavers"
be charged as much as a dollar for
a haircut
Local BARRIERS declare that some
patrons have grown SO ''nervy' that
they will walk into a shaving parlor
with three days growth of beard,
and order a haircut only. Self shaw
ing has come to be almost an OBJ
session among the younger SHAY
ers," say the BARRIERS.
The BARRIERS say it is easy to
spot" a man who yields his own
razor.
"A man who shaves himself" said
a barber today, never has his neck
shaved So if the new rule goes
through tonight, we will charge such
q man a high rate whenever the back
of his neck is covered with hair"

COMMUNITY INTEREST
eide Whether Wife May Endorse
Husbands Check.

Olympia, Wash, Dec. 20.-Asking
the supreme court for decision
which will give married women some
little control over their own prop
erty, attorneys fer the American
Savings Bank & Trust company, of
Seattle. are here this morning.
On the other side, the attorney for
Phillip S. Barley asserts that under
the law of this state the husband is
given exclusive control and manage
ment of all community property, be
it cash, furniture or kitchen uten-
sils. Mr.. Barley had bank cash
ier's check, the proceeds of sale Of
property in Kansas. After he had
held the check about six years he
was called East to attend his f>Iler's
funeral, and while away Mrs. Bark
ley endorsed the check in the name
of her husband and herself, cashed
it at this bank, and then started suit
for divorce.
On his return, Mr.. Barley sued
the bank for the amount of the
check. Superior Judge Ronald
granted him judgment against the
bank for half of the check. The
bank appealed, claiming it should
pay nothing, and Mr.. Barley also
appealed, contending under existing
laws he should have had Judgment
for the full amount. Decision in
the case was taken under advise
ment.

THE SEASON OF MUSIC.

From Maine to California the mu
sic season is open. Good!
Men with souls in their faces are
presiding at great organs and send
ing out strains that seem to be the
forerunner of the heaven that most
of us desire; men and women with
golden throats are singing joy into
the hearts of thousands; the long
evenings are here, and in more
homes than one could count there is
good music to please and inspire and
drive away care and subdue worry.
It's fine!
Let's hear all the real music we
can. 1t is divine. 1t is the mysteri-
Gus something that thrills the very
soul, that makes the heart throb and
the tears come. 1t is JOY and sorrow
combined; it is heartache and spring
gladness entwined. 1t is the majesty
of winter softened by a breath of
June. 1t is the perfume of the clover
field and the richness of the orchid.
Let's have more of it, more of it.
If you believe your Bible, and most
of us do, the world that is to come
is to be blessed with the rich music
of harps and a thousand voices, and
perhaps hundreds of wonderful in
struments that we now know not of.
And it will be heaven because of this
music.
There was a man who was hard
ened and calloused and hated. He
despised the world and made the
world feel it. 1t was said of him
that he had not one redeeming fea-
ture.
And be listened to the opening
notes. the majestic strains of Tam
hauser. that work that alone would
have served to make Richard Wag-
ner immortal, and the hot tears were
seen running down his cheeks and
the muscles of his throat contract;
and those who went to him while the
spell of the harmony was upon him
found him a human being with
heart that yearned for fellowship. a
man who only wanted an invitation
to be a real man. penitent redeemed
through the power of beautiful
sounds that thrill the heartstrings if
they be given but a chance.
Hear all the good music you can.
For good harmony never produce
a bad impulse or impelled an I'M
worthy act.

OUTLOOK is HOPEFUL.

From the merchants standpoint,
weather conditions the last few
weeks have been unfavorable for
business, Most localities occasional

Washington has been having its turn
While the volume of business has
not measured up to expectations. this
can be attributed to readily discern

whole is prosperous. A large crop
has been marketed at good prices
Over in the Big Bend, however, ow-
mig to the lower prices which prevail
the usual quantity of wheat has not
been marketed which is usually dis
posed of at this time of the year.
Notwithstanding the temporary
lull in business which is partly due to
weather conditions and partly to a
sympathetic feeling which has mani
Tested itself throughout the entire
nation in a cessation of the usual
buoyancy in industrial activity, there
is every prospect that the holiday
season will be followed by a revival
of activity. 1t is apparent that con-
gress is not going to act on any i'm
portant measures which usually pro-
duce more or less uncertainty as to
their effects on the business world.
Good crops generally throughout the
country preclude the possibility of
panic or a crisis, and with this con-
dition assured, there will be a dis
position to undertake new enterprises
and proceed with the work of devel-

AS far as Wenatchee is concerned,
there is going to be the usual build

New York, Jan. S1.-That ad-
