a HEART TO HEART TALK
WITH THE WOMEN OF
SPOKANE

want to take this opportunity
to tell yon who am and what | am
doing. In the first place, | have
had several years experience in
buying and selling ladies' ready-to-
wear garments, such as suits,
dresses, petticoats, waists, etc.
Ions ago | came to the conclusion
that the big Riverside stores were
charging too much for such goods
in fact, they had to. In order to
meet their enormous rents, light
and other expenses, they had to ask
tremendous profits on their sales.
l9s this way the consumer, which
& s,ou, ladies of Spokane, really
paid the freight. SO came up here
I'm the Mohawk block. where my
rent is very small and my light
and other bills practically nothing
compared with what the merchants
on Riverside must pay. And here
is where my experience came in
handy. l know just where to go to
buy the best grades of goods for
the least money. If you will come
up here once and look over my line
you will see at glance that make
prices that will positively surprise
you. have just purchased a spe-
cial line of
SAMPLE SILK DRESSES
which come in all sorts of pretty
colors. at a price which will enable
me to sell you
$40 Silk Dresses at $40.
SIS Silk Dresses at $l2.50.
a N35 Silk Dresses at $3.50.
aave also made a fortunate buy
of Lingerie Dresses which will en-
able me to sell
$1750 Lingerie Dresses for $3.50.
$4,000 Lingerie Dresses for SLATE
also have a few colored wash
dresses worth usually up to $3.50,
which | will close ont on Friday
and Saturday for each. $3.75.
You will find il dist inctly to your
advantage to come up and get ac-
qaainted with me. Remember, my
expenses are very small; can buy
just as cheaply as any merchant IN
the city, because know how, and
| am satisfied with small profit

must be apparent even to the skeptical

successful businesses are carried on, is
a most profitable investment. Were

mentioned in connection herewith that,
since their Incorporation, these 112
mines and works have distributed
among the holders of their stock the
enormous sum of s631, O69, O24. On the
combined issued capital of these com
panies s564,267,550, this makes a re-
turn in excess of capitalization of $685.

| Then, too, there are the dividends de-
clared by mine securities, holding cor
porations which, in the first half of
1910. totaled s7,397,22S. On the issued
capital Of these companies, which Is
S314,172,125, there has been paid since
incorporation a total of sos. S66.447, or
return equivalent to 81 percent
Then there are the hundreds and hum
dreds of close and private corporations
and individuals from whom 40 reports
are received, which go to swell the
total, and give added proof thai IN

HOT BREAD GOOD.
Uncle Sans Latest Cook Book
Skaters Old Belief.

Secretary OF Agriculture Wilson has
given tho world another cook BOOK. In
IL he skaters the long-established belief
that hot bread is dnwholesome. The new
book IS entitled Bread and Bread Max
ing and IN the Introductory noA the
Secretary says that statements Of a Hopu-
lar nature, which are frequently met with
regarding the Embellishments Of hot
bread. have little foundation.
THE fact that bread IS hot doubtless.
has little 10 do with the matter" he SAYS.
New bread, especially that from "a large
loaf. may be readily compressed into
more or less solid masses. and It IS pos
sible that such bread would be much less
finely masticated than crumbly, stale
bread. and that therefore. Il might offer
moro resistance 10 the digestive Juices
Of the stomach.
However, when such hot bread as rolls,
biscuit, or other forms IS eaten, IN which
/ the crust IS very large in proportion 10
; the crumb. this objection has much less
/ force Little difficulty IS experienced in
masticating the crumb, and It IS doubtless
usually finely divided"
| The bulletin says that the IIChtness and
/ sweetness Of the bread depend as much
on the way It IS made as the materials
used.

Inspection of all the moving picture
shows in town has been made, aud the
report Of the inspector IS now IN the
hands Of the Commissioners. II shows
that many Of the shows are a menace to
life. due 10 CareIessness OF the prOprietors.
Congress will be asked 10 provide for
the appointment OF an electrical expert,

show in the city and see that proper pre-
cautions are taken in the handling OF the
films and the proper manipulation OF the
machines
In forwarding the report TO Congress
the Commissioners will say: The cleo
tricaI department has attempted 70 main
tain a regular inspection OF these places.
