SELECT FAIRLY FRESH KILLED
BIRDS.

II is true there should be some care
used in the selection OF game birds You
would not welcome In your house, II you
had TO dress and cook them. the very
eamy birds that are sometimes served at
cafes and hotels. The smell Of these
long-kept birds Is too much for the or
binary housewife But there is no need
of buying such gamy birds. A young
partridge is good eating before 1t has
been kept for weeks. and the same Is true
of woodcock and quail. Select young
birds that are sweet and you will make
no mistake.

CHELSEA'S MYSTERY HOUSE

One of the most eccentric charac-
ters in London has just died In the
person of Dr. JOhn Samuel Phene, in
his ninetieth year. He was reputed
to be very wealthy and the proprietor
of what has been known as the "Mys-
terv House in Chelsea, big square
building. with front decorated in bl-
zarre fashion. From sidewalk level TO
sloping root it is tumble OF twisting
columns and quaint, symbolic figures.
There are cuddling cupids, ancient
goddesses. mermaids, imps and all the
rest. The story goes that Or. Phene
was reconstructing the house for his
wife but when she died he gave up
the task. 1t is nearly thirty years
now since the house was occupied
and twelve years since it was ar
ranged in its present style. The in
terror Is as curious as It's exterior.
Many of the roms are pillared and the
ceilings gilded, frescoed and painted
in gorgeous style. but all are in state
OF dilapidation.

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance OF
health may follow facial treatment.
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health OF ev.
cry woman Is regularity OF the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches
pimples and general air OF lassitude,
Is in most every case due TO constt'
patton or Indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, IL
combination Of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggist
as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Thti
simple remedy is far preferable tc
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgatiye waters that disturb tina
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is
tonic laxative, mild In its action
pleasant to the taste and positive If

SCHOOL NOTES

The pupils at the new high school
building were favored with the presence
two important perscnages Monday
afternoon. They were Homer B. HUI
bert, on the third number of the Lee
ture Course, and Mr. Traverse, an
agent for the American Book Com
pany. Mr.. Hubert gave very inter
esting talk on conditions in Korea. He
was sent there as a teacher some years
ago, during the siege of the cholera
epidemic. He says the Koreans love
education. 1t might be we'll for some
Americans to pattern after them in
that respect. Mr.. Hubert further said
that the Koreans had built the first
suspension bridge in the world, and in
1892 they made the first iron-cad man.
of-war. But they did not keep their
improvements. Their alphabetis about
the simplest one in use today. Mr..
Traverse spoke few minutes on educa-
ton. He has been through several
high school buildings in this section of
the state, but the new one in Ken
newick is the best he has seen outside
of Spokane. He quoted from govern
ment statistics the rate of attendance
in schools in Washington. Out of an
eighth grade of seventeen thousand,
only ten thousand finish the ninth grade;
the number diminishes to five thousand
IN the tenth grade, three thousand five
hundred in the eleventh, and finally,
two thousand five hundred graduate
from high school. And Washington is
very good school state. On the
average, man who has had no educa-
ton or man who quit school before he
took the sixth grade earns five hundred
dollars per year, while the man who
has finished the eighth grade earns
eight hundred per year; high school
graduate, twelve hundred; a college
graduate, eighteen hundred, and one
who has taken postgraduate work.
twenty-four hundred per year. Of
Traverse prophesied that out of the
IL OoAlAldl Nldoo Vi Jill -ClkHC
bers who started at the beginning of
the school year, not more than twelve
would graduate.
At the basketball game last Satur-
day night, Kennewick took Prosser
down the line to the tune of 24-22, and
as Mr.. Groom, the coach says, 1--WE
will take back seat for no one from
henceforth and forevermore. The
game was good, clean, hard, and well
played and the school is justly proud
of it's team. Friday night the boys
play Pasco and-well, they aren't say
ing what the score will be but it won't
be in favor of Pasco.
The girls basketball team is getting
steady practice. The grade girls are
organizing, so there will be double
team soon.
