and women whose aim in life is to
''look nice;" to wear cheap limitations
of expensive things; to put a ridicu-
lous valuation on their services; to
make those same services as nearly
worthless as lack of interest and lack
of honesty can make them.
This isn't condition confined to
any one portion of the country; it
goes from New York to California,

necessary to support-and we are
daily learning that conditions have
not improved any, among the people
they are supposed to benefit.

look for the causes which have led
the women into her care.
From an interview in paper re-
Gently, Mrs. Gilbert gives her opinion
] as to the cause of the downfall of so
mAany girls and women. Incidentally,
ne pays her respects to the condi-
lions under which the women prison.
ers in Los Angeles exist, while serv-
ing sentences. She suggests rem
edy, which if carried out, will cost
less than the present system of pun
ishment.
but can't do it alone" she said,
"and l can't do it here in this Jail,
where we have seventeen girls Sleep
ing in nine single beds, negroes,
Mexicans, Chinese and whites all
mixed up together, and these condi-
lions are the same the country over.
''The greatest evil is lack of work
for the girls They do their own
laundry work, the same as for the
two wardens, and the towels for the
officers. They hem the linen we use
here, and this is about all.
"The food is prepared and sent
up; very few of the girls who come
here know how to cook or do any
thirds of them found they could not
make enough money under the pres
ent system to live honestly, then they
lost heart and began to slip down."
1t seems almost incredible that Los
Angeles or any other city in Califor-
MIA should permit conditions Of this
sort to exist.
1t may be true that race prejudice
is stronger in the South than in any
other portion of the country, but who
could expect a white girl to emerge
from contact with negro, Chinese and
the low caste Mexican women, and
have a vestige Of self-fespect left?
Seventeen girls in nine single
beds, negroes, Mexicans and Chinese
all mixed up together
Probably these same conditions ex-
list in other towns, and if so, then
it is splendid field for the Boards
of Foreign Mission workers to ex-
plore
Another phase of Mrs Gilbeft's in
terview is worth noting. She consid-
ers the low wages paid unskilled
woman laborers as tne real cause of
the downfall of the majority of the
women who have come under her OBJ
servation.
To the student who likes to trace
causes for effects, this part of Mrs.
Gilbert's interview opens up the way
for deepest thought.
AS a country, the United States Of
fers the greatest inducements to the
foreign laboring classes to make this
their home.
With the full knowledge of our
government officials, every steamship
company that makes entry at any
United States port, has regularly
employed, corps of agents in Eur
rope, Asia and parts of Africa, whose
duty it is to paint in most glowing
terms the advantages to be had, the
ease with which a living may be
made, the freedom, protection and
advancement assured to any one who
will come to this country and locate.
But there are white girls in this
same United States, who are forced
to mix with low women of the
Chinese, Mexican and negro race, be-
cause some of these golden promises
were not made, and kept, for them.
AS country, we spend more on
educating our young people than any
other country on the globe, SO far
as actual dollars count.
And we are turning out sorrier
lot of young people, than any other,
nation on the globe.

Tho Oldest kIickitat.

Jake Hunt. the Oldest living Klicki
tat Indian known, lies at deaths door
at his home adjoining this town east
of here. The old Indian is reputed to
be more than 100 years of age.
Years ago an Indian village stood
where the Hunt family now carries on
general farming business. All that
Is left Of the old settlement Is little
church, totem pole and numerous
mounds where the Klickitats lie who
could not reach the century mark. Old
lake says that this was the Indians
paradise before the advent of early
white settlers.
Jake Hunt is destined not to die a
poor Indian. His lands are as rich and
productive as any In the valley and
command high price. He is said to
have married seven times during his
long career, but there will be only a
widow and few children to fall heir
10 his valuable property.-Husum Cor

1T IS A MISTAKE

Many have the idea that anything
will sell II advertised strong enough.
This Is a great mistake. True, a
few sales might be made by advertis-
ing an absolutely worthless article
but 1t is only the article that is
bought again and again that pays.
An example of the big success of a
worthy article is the enormous sale
that has grown up for Cascarets
Candy Cathartic. This wonderful rec
ord is the result of great merit sue
cessfully made known through per-
sistent advertising and the mouth-to-
mouth recommendation given Cas-
carets by its friends and users.
Like all great successes. trade pi-
rates prey on the unsuspecting pub
lie, by marketing fake tablets similar
in appearance to Cascarets. Care
should always be exercised in pur-
chasing we'll advertised goods. espe-
cially an article that has national
sale like Cascarets. Do not allow .
substitute to be palmed of on you.

Tho villain stiIl Pursued Her.

Charming Pollock cites a certain

ago on Fourteenth street. as contain
ing the busiest and most inconsistent
. villain ever created.
In the first act, he tied the beautiful
heroine to a railroad track Just as the
limited was due. In the second, he
lured her in to an old house. locked
her in an upper room and set the place
on fire In the third, he strapped her
under a buzz saw and set the ma
chinery in motion. In the fourth, he
tore the planking out of the Brooklyn
bridge. so that her automobile plunged
through to the raging flood below.
In the fifth act he started to make
love to her. She shrank from him.
