UNCLE SAM SAYS THAT
TABBYLS VERY BAD

government scientist to be an
EAgent of the most deadly germs,
Espreading disease and death among
those who fondle her.
Investigation has proven that in
"a cats sleek, soft fur, upon which
the baby delights to rub it's cheek
Turk the germs of tuberculosis, of
smallpox and that deadly disease
of babies and children, diphtheria.
The cat is roaming animal.
Even the most carefully watched
house pet will stink out at night
and it is then that they come in
contact with infected, dirty cats
which live perhaps in squallid
shanties among disease-stricken
people. It's long fur affords a nat
ural breeding place for the germs.
"The cat returns to It's home
thoroughly innoculated. The moth
er smiles as the baby tumbles
about on the floor with Tabby.
When the child is stricken every
disease-breeding source is consid-
cred except the family cat" says

LUCY, ONLY II MONTHS

anything-but the tender, rasped
nerves still left in the shriveled
body don't rest without the poison
now.
Lucy's case sets a precedent in
baby annals. Usually they die
when fed on a diett of paregoric
in doses to which Lucy is accus-
toned Her mother gave her 10
drops at a dose.
Lucy isn't dead-yet.
'Paregoric is tincture of
opium, and a most dangerous drug
for mothers to handle" declares
DR.. J. II. Lands, city health afficer.
'ParegOric may ease pain and
make baby sleep, but it will
never cure declares DR.. Charles
Howard, hospital physician. The
longer it is used the more dan
gerous it becomes. 1t contains
about one grain of opium to every
fluid ounce.
Lucy doesn't know this, of
course. Her mother didn't, either.
That's why Lucy probably will die.
Is your child forming the prae-
goric habit? Or any other medi-
cine habit?

efforts to capture them when they
leave. The rewards and the ex-
penses of printing circulars and
tracing deserters is big expense
and calls for thousands of dollars
year.
From the amount of literature on
the subject that comes to the SpO-
kane office it is apparent that ons
of good book paper is used annu-
ally and he bill for half tone cuts
and printing aside from the cost of
mailing must be enormous.
And all to try to compel men to
stick to job they don't like and
work for officers who do not want
them.
II man does not want to be a
postal clerk for Uncle Sam any
longer he quits and goes his way
and gets another job. But If he
does not want to be soldier for
Uncle Sam and quits he is branded
as a criminal deserter, reward is
placed on his head and all the
machinery Of the law is set In mo-
ton to get him into prison.
This is one of the policies
handed down from military des-
potisms of past ages which has not
been outgrown.
Officers, however, are beginning
to think a change would be good.

serter.
1t is not a pleasant thing to be a
deserter. If caught it means prison

Uncle Sam to see that capture fol

REWARD OVER THEl RHEADS.
On every deserter there is re-
ward of $50 paid to the person re-
turning him to the army. And cir
culars are sent to all United States
marshals to be on the lookout.
In the Spokane office this mass
of circulars is filed away.
We do not have time to go out
hunting them said deputy. IF
we made a business of hunting for
these deserters we would have to
have hundred deputies here"
Most of those caught. according
to officials, are returned through
the jealousy of women with whom
they have become entangled.

STOCK MARKET
FURNISHED by Walter A. Nichols &
Company

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The stock
market was a waiting affair today,
with strength maintained throughout
the session. Trading was not of a
very large volume, but the absence
of aggressive pressure was regarded
as a favorable feature. The action
of the commodity markets was
watched with interest, and all re-
ports tending to give an inkling of
the probab bic showing of the govern
ment crop report on Monday were
closely scrutinized. Rumors with re-
gard to further reductions in the
prices of finished steel product were
not circulated as freely as heretofore,
and the steadiness of Steel and Cop
per imported feeling to the balance
Of the market The bank statement
was regarded as a favorable docu-
ment. The immediate course of the
security prices will no doubt be
greatly influenced by the indicated
yield of grains set forth in the report
referred to above, and it therefore
would seem to be the part of wisdom
to await further developments in that
respect before taking a firm stand
eiu.ev way.

40 |MMORTALS"
FOR ENGLAND

LONDON, Aug. 6.-England, too,
is to have her Forty Immortals. :"
The Royal Society of Literature
and the Society of Authors have ap-
pointed a joint committee to take
steps toward erecting a Royal
Academy" something after the
model of the justly celebrated
French academy.
This committee has gone so far
as to choose about a score of the
"immortals' who are to be, as it
were, charter immortals" in this
academy. Here they are: Alfred
Austin, Robert Bridges, Joseph
Conrad, Edmund Gosse, Henry
James, Sir Alfred Lyall, Viscount
Morley, Henry Newbolt, Walter
Raleigh, Laurence Binyon, Samuel
H. Butcher, Austin Dobson, Thomas
Hardy, Andrew Lang, John Will
liams MacKail, George G. Murray,
Sir Arthur Pinero, George Macau-
ley Trevelyan, William Butler
Yeats.
1t will be a matter for surprise
.tomost people to learn that Alfred
Austin is able to break into the
Immortal class, and that Henry
James is an Englishman. Also
there are about million Kipling-
!ites on both sides of the water who
will rise up and want to know II
mot. why not.
Nevertheless the fact remains
that there are some pretty big peo-
pie on the list-people who will be
immortal anyway, academy or no
academy.
Now literary England stands
breathless, waiting the filling of
the list. This is the burning ques-
ton:
will George Bernard Shaw get
in?"
And this is the alternative:
will Gilbert X, ChestertOn?"

hope that new wheat will bring
lower prices in wheat for feeding
purposes. Some of the dealers be-

and the prices should be lower soon.

STRIKE TALK GROWS
Waist Makers Committee to
Investigate Charges.

Despite the disclaimers Of the conserva-
tive element among the leaders OF the
waist makers strike of any intention Of
ordering a general strike against all manu-
facturers who have settled and are accused
of doing work for manufacturers who have
not settled. there is a strong radical ele-
ment which Is against such mild measures
as ordering strikes one at time against
individual firms.
It was announced yesterday that a COM
nlittee of seven appointed TO investigate
these charges against manufacturers has
called meeting for tomorrow. in Clinton
Hall, Of two delegates from each of the
$40 shops which have settled. Proof will be
required from each accused manufacturer,
if he denies the charge. that the charge is
unfounded. Solomon SCHNEIDER. the leader
of the strike. is against second general
strike. but others say that if there is any
thing to be done it ought to be something
decisive Salvatore Ninfo, one of the or
ganizers of the waist makers union and a
member Of the committee of seven. said
last evening:
There is an inclination to minimize the
number of waist makers who will be atfect-
ed in case of a new strike. About three
thousand has been given as the number.
but it would be nearer seven thousand
AS far as can see the waist makers who
have settled are ready. if necessary. to go
on a general strike against all nlanufactur-
ers supposed to be union who are supplying
non-union firms.
IF there is to be a new strike, do not
believe in beating about the bush. It
should be against all offenders to have
done with it. The manufacturers to avoid
strike, will have to give pledges that
they will do no work for non-union firms,
and we must be satisfied of their SIN
cerity or a strike will follow
He said that everything depended on
the result of the meeting tomorrow. The
delegates from the various shops would
find out the status of affairs in their shops
in the mean time.
1t was learned that those who We're in
vestigating the matter migat find new diff
ficulties from the fact that a number of
manufacturers employ waist makers through
contractors or middlemen. Some manu-
facturers may have several contractors
each. and in many cases contractor takes
work for more than one firm. There IS
nothing to prevent him from taking work
from union and a non-union firm at the
same time.
President Hyman of the Associated
Waist and Dress Manufacturers said last
evening that most of the members were
now working with normal force of hands,
some strike breakers and some returned
strikers. The Cslly trouble now was the
necessity OF protecting the workers.
