NORTH WASHINGTON STREET1M-
PROVEMENTS.

The work of treating Washington
street from Queen to Wythe (four
Squares) with preparation OF coal tar
and limestone screenings is now in pro-
gress. This portion OF Washington
street has in late years been macadamcd
in neat and substatial manner with
several feet of yitritied brick on each
side OF the thoroughfare. The coal tar
is being spread on the street after
which the screenings are spread. This
procedure is hardening the roadway
and keeping down the dust which would
otherwise be annoying in dry weather.

Want BaIlinger to Resign.

Beverly Mass, Aug. 2.-Senator
Winthrop Murray Crane. Of Massachu'
sets, met Secretary OF the Interim
BalIinger at Minneapolis yesterday ano
acting on the initiative OF leaders Ill
the republican party, with the taclt &C,
quiescence of President Taft, suggested
that the cabinet officer tender his resis-
nation before October |. From Il source
Of the highest authority here today
comes this explanation of the accl-
dental" meeting of the Massachusetts
senator and the secretary OF the Interior
yesterday.
Several days ago Senator Crane pa'd
mysterious visit to Beverly. Al Inll
time the news leaked out that ne was
going west on mission, the nature
of which was kept secret.
Great pressure Of late has D ,T u
brought to bear on President lait
to hint to the head OF the IN
terror Department that he should
retire, on the ground OF extreme
political expediency. Leaders IN tne
party got together selecleu Soi'',o'
Crane as their spokesman, secured a
tacit acquiescence from President lait'
and yesterday the Massachusetts SCION
put the proposition TO Secretary BAL
linger.
Senator Crane, according to authorl-
alive information, told -Ballinger yes
terday that he must step down within
a few weeks after the report Of the CON
gressional investigating committee IS
made public. e..
The committee meets at Mlnncapo-
lis during the week of September II.
It's verdict on the conservation contro-
versy generating the secretary will be
given to the public almost immediate
ly. Ballingcr is expected to retire TO
his lrw practice at Seattle, Immediately
after this exoneration at some time
prior to the windup OF the congress
sional campaign.
When Secretary Norton was asked
regarding the story he refused either
an affirmation or 4 denial, but stated
that in many respects he knew more
about Senator Cranes mission than the
president This has led to the assump-
ton here that Secretary Norton joined
with the politicians in their attempt to
get Ballinger out Of the Cabinet.

johnson and His White Companions.

New York, Aug. I'm view OF the
countrywide agitation against the cX-
hibition of the Johnson-Jcffries fight
pictures, as tending to stir up race
prejudice, today's Morning Telegraph
prints two column story OF Johnson $
alleged abandonment OF his white wife
in Chicago and his subsequent fiagrani
association with another white woman,
and calls upon the police TO suppress
this exhibition by the negro champion
as far more subyersive ofpublc morals
and conducive to race hatreds.
The Telegraph asks whether the
pictures OF the fight are more vitiatIng
to virtue than the spectacle Of Jack
Johnson in real life parading a white
paramour through the streets OF New
York in a 90-horsepowcr automobile
and displaying her in association with
himself in public, though very low
way?"
Johnson met his present companion,
the Telegraph says, in this city. took
her to Chicago with him and installed
her in his home, driving out his legal
wife.

ple that indigestion and dyspepsia can
he permanently relieved and that Rex
ali dyspepsia Tablets will bring about
this result. we will furnish the medi-
cine absolutely free if it fails to give
satisfaction to any one using 1t.
The remarkable success OF Rexau
Dyspepsia Tablets is due to the high
degree of scientific skill used in de-
care exercised in their manufacture,
whereby the we'll known properties OF
Bis-nuth-Subnitrate and Pepsin have
been combined with Carminatives and
other agents.
Bismuth- Subnitrate and Pepsin are
constantly employed and recognized by
the entire medical profession as in
valuable in the treatment of indiges-
ton and dyspepsia
The Pepsin used in Rexau Dyspepsia

supplies to the digestive apparatus one
of the most important elements of the
digestive fluid, and without it the d.
gestion and assimilation Of food are
impossible.

soon as I took three or four doses of
Root Juice I began to feel better, and
four bottles of the Juice made a COM

took Root Juice I could not digest the

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

Have you got it done yet, as you
really ought to have, or are you in
the midst of it, as you probably are,
or have you it all still to do?
ping, of course, who on the earth or
off it-wonder If they have Christmas
in the Inhabited planets-is thinking
of anything else at this time of the
year?
If you haven't got the subject of
Christmas along with your Christmas
presents neatly done up in white paper.
tied with red ribbon and put away
in your bureau drawer. here are
a few disjointed dos-and-don'ts on the
subject.
Don't make up list planning what
you are going to spend on each per-
son, be cajo1ed by attractive showings
at the stores into spending Just
little more" on each gift, and then be
amazed that the sum total is so as
tonishingly in excess of your original
appropriation.
Il do it every year so I warn you
with much feeling.l
Don't be afraid to give people things
they sometimes make themselves.
Last year an aunt of mine who at one
time or another has knitted bedroom
slippers for almost everybody in Chris
tendon, had a pair of bedroom Slip
perS given her by the only Ir1end VINO
doesn't know her slipper knitting pro-
clivities.
We thought she would be disap-
pointed but she was delighted. MY
dears," she said, Il have been using
the most dilapidated slippers for the
last three years because I knit so many
to give away that just didn't have
time to make any for myself"
Take that hint and don't be afraid
to give embroidery to some friend
who embroiders. Ten to one, she
either doesn't have time or doesn't
like to do it for herself.
r
If you have some friend who has
hard work to make both ends meet,
don't invariably say, ST must give her
something useful and deluge her
with f1omely useful things. but occa-
sionally vary the monotony by giving
her some pretty. dainty, frivolous
gift There are heart needs as well
as body needs and by giving her
dainty jabot or pretty pin you may
satisfy a craving for something pref
