AVOID HARSH DRUGS,
Many catharties Tend to Cause Injury
to the Bowels,


to the Bowels.
If you are subject to constipation,
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give temporary

and their tendency is to weaken the
already weak organs with which they
come in contact

tee that it shall not cost the user q

tion and completely remedy constipa-
ton. This preparation is called >Rexall
Orderlies. These are prompt, soothing.
and most effective in action. They are
made Of recent chemical discovery.

tasteless, and colorless. Combined with

tablished for their usefulness in the
treatment Of constipation, it forms a
tablet which is eaten just like candy.

day or night, without fear Of their
causing any Inconvenience whatever.
They do not grippe. purge. nor cause
nausea. They act without causing any
pain or excessive looseness Of the
bowels. They are ideal for children,

COMBATING WITH
DANDELlONS IN LAWNS

Professor R. Kent Beattie, Bot
anist at the State College and Ex-
pertinent Station, has prepared the
following statement as an answer to
many requests for information as
to how to combat dandelions in
lawns:
The common dandelion is on the
increase as a pest in Eastern Wash
ington. 1t is very difficult plant
to eradicate. 1t perpetuates itself
by large, feshy root which is diff
ficult to kill and this must be re-
moved before one can get rid of the
plant. A very common method is
to dig out as much of the root as
possible with long, heavy knife,
or with a tool called spud, and
then to put few drops of coal oil
on the cut surface CT the roots. In
many cases the coal oil kills that
part Of the root which remains. 1t
is, however, not perfectly success
full. Some persons have tried sui
phuric acid on the roots. This is a
difficult thing to handle for it is
very injurious to the hands and the
person. 1t usually kills the dande-
lion roots, but in some cases they
escape.
Recently a good many people have
tried spraying for dandelions, and
this is recommended by some. The
method used is to make solution
of iron sulphate, two pounds to one
gallon of water. Apply this to the
lawn with spray pump so that it
will make fine mist. Some people
put half an ounce of sulphuric acid
in each gallon of the spray. In any
event, all that this spray can do "a
to kill the tops. If, however, OH
should begin in the spring and kill
the tops with the spray and then
repeat the process as often as new
ones appear, one ought in time tc
get rid OF the roots by starving them
out. This spray does little or nc
injury to lawn grass or clover. [,
sometimes blakens the edges of the
leaves a little, but the damage il
never serious. From the stand
point Of cheapness and ease Of ap
plication at least, this is probably
the best method to use in fighting
the dandelion.

A POLITICAL BLUNpER.

When Napoleon and Talley- rand kidnapped the Due d'Enghicn and had him executed by drum head court-martial, somebody said Co Fouche that great crime had been committed. To which tho minister of police responded
 "IL is worse than q crime. It is a political blunder."
 Every attempt on the life of a noted man is a political blum der, whether successful or not, or whether made by a despot or crank. Like persecution of a church, it merely exaggcrates popularity.
 What this country most needs is a vast corps of assistants for the fool-killer.

SOWING FARES.

The attempt made upon the life of cX-Presidcnt Roosevelt is d most rcgrettablc affair, from which we can only gain SOlace from the fact that it did not ter minate more seriously. The peO- pie of the United, States are not yet ready to descend to the use of the revolver and StilettO in inc settlement of their pOliticaI differences. We are quite will ing, for the present time, Int least, to arbitrate our divergent political views through the bal lot box, and 10 rest content with the dictum of the majority. The armtd assassin has no place in American politics, talthOugh un- fortunately he has made himself occasionally felt. The shot fired at Col. Roosevelt on Monday night was not, however, wholly unexpected. The pre-conventio campaign was conducted with so much bitterness; so many crim- inations and recriminations, that the fear of such a denouement as took place on Monday night has a number of times been ex- pressed in the press, by papers of very divergent views. In all times of great political, religious or other forms of excitement there are always weak minds, ready to give way to the tension, and ripe for the committal of an overt act. This case is no ex- ceptiOn to that rule. Under our present conditions, and With our present mixed population, such occurrences may be expected, as much as we may deplOre the fact. Two of the presidential candidates are much to blaine :CI the occurrences of Monday evening, and none more than ;hc victim of the wnuld-bc as sassm's bullet.
 Never in the history of this c.:Untry has there been con,.lnL- cd such q NIrulent dampai@r IS that wagcd ly Theodore Ro )s: = we'll and H;I am Johnson. u indrrd IrS, cttablc that men who have been highly hOnOred by their fcllOw-citizens should so far forget themselves as to de- sccnd to blackguardism and dcm- agogucry.
 All this, of course, does not palliate the crime committed by Schrank; his punishment should be the limit provided by law; we arc merely pointing to a moral which men occupying high ptlc- cs in the nations councils may well heed. We can only hope for Col. Rnosrvrltrs speedy re- POSprN.

there is nevertheless some ground for the supposition. The production of gold in the six teenth century Is sad to have been s5OO,OOO,OOO; in the sev- entcenth century $600,00O,O0O, and in the eighteenth century Si,- O,OOO,O0O. In the nineteenth century the output was $7,70o,- OOO,OOO; the first half $790,OO0,- 900, the second half $6,9iO, O,00O,- OOO. So far the record of the twentieth century is: l9Ol-i9O5 inclusive, i,6ll,00O,0O0; l9O6- 1910, s2,iOO,OOO,O0O. In other wards, there has been produced more gold since 1900 than there was from the period of the dis covcry of America to the Califor- mia gold rush, three and one half centuries.
 Perhaps the most striking ev- idcncc of the loss of value that the almighty dollar has sustained has been uncarthed by an ecOno- mist of retrospective turn. Finding out he number of peso las aised to finance the expcdi- lion of Columbus, he discovered it. was the equivalent of S7,0OO. In ii92 &7,000 was sufficient to buy and fit out three cara valS which were ultimately tn discover new world and give rise to a country containing a population of nearly i0O,000,OOO Today il costs several times that sum io fit out an expedition to the Arctic or Antarctic regions Even little congressional jun ket from Washington to Alaska costs twice the sum it cost Co., lumbus to discover America.

VALUE OF a DOLLAR

The high cost of living has be- rnmr inc predominant question of tie present day. II effects everyone, great and small, rich and poor: and il effects Us all in more vital way than any other problem.
 In TOSL lines prices have ad- Nanccd very materially in late years, in fact the general in- crease in the cost of living has been, so statisticians agree, a. bout B per cent. in the last two or three years. This is indeed an alarming state of affairs, and it. is no wonder tho common cy- pression of the face of the patcr familias nowadays ono of anx- icty.
 Tl is not SD much that prices have gone up rapidly as that mo- ncy has dcprcciatcd in purchas- ing power. There has been a glul of gold eff such be pOssi = blc) on the market of late years, and Inc result of this abundance has been to make tho metal cheap This is the cause most commonly ascribed to the rapid rise in the cost of living necessities.

MoTHER-LOVE.

All logic breaks down in the pres
ence of growing things, as mex
perienced city farmers and chicken
growers know. Little children need
love and constant personal adjust
ments. Love does for them what sun
shine does for plants; it is an indis-
pensable condition of good growth
for minds and feelings. So, too, the
social instinct, being among the
earliest and most important of our
powers to develop, needs constant
personal adjustment as the condition
of its best growth and realization.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine moth
ers out of thousand give these con-
ditions to their babies, while the best
trained and most sanitary nurse can
not secrete love for several children
any more than one mother can Sc
crete milk for a group of children.
1t is not a matter Of good will; il
is a matter of human limitations

Of remote ages, found in the course
of excavation, remains Of Roman,
Celtic, Saxon and Norman London,
which might throw light upon the
social, domestic and public life of
the inhabitants.
The stone and bronze ages are well
represented, while Roman life is re-

including a real Roman sandal in
leather, found in diggings in central
London, down to the numerous styles
of the fifteenth century.
