SALOON is AN EVIL BREEDER
Commissioners Of Washington County
Refuse 10 Grant License for
Liquor Selling.

Representatives Of a firm OF con.
tractors doing business for a western
railway recently appeared before the
commissioners OF Pierce county, Wash
ington. to protest against issuing a II.
cense to a saloon in the vicinity OF
their work They stated that they
could employ a large force, many In
their crews being the heads OF fam
Ties, and receiving good wages; they
volunteered to pay the amount OF the
license in order to avoid having liquor
sold in the vicinity OF the work, as
they deemed II demorallzing 70 the
men and dangerous 10 have employed
on the job men under the influence OF
liquor The county commissioners
unanimously complied with the re-
quest and refused to grant the liquor
license, saying they did not care TO
consider any bonus for doing so. as
It was apparent to them that the sa-
loon would be an evil breeder and a
non-producer."
The West Washington White Rib
bon Bulletin thus pertinently com
ments:
If the above Is the deliberate iudg
ment of men representing large bust
ness interests, why should It be said
that business men are afraid Of pro
hibition? II the saloon is good or de
sirable anywhere, it's good and desir
able everywhere. If it is bad for men
building a railroad, 1t is bad for men
doing any kind Of work Why moi
prohibit it everywhere and give PEG
pie a sober chance to see that they car
live without that abomination any
where and everywhere. If the whole
nation could be sober for one whole
week, not a brewery, distillery or sa
loon would be tolerated ever again il
our borders as long as the worlC
stands"

Luxurious Coat Collar.

Decidedly elaborate and novel, is
a coat collar consisting Of wide rear
portion of Irish point, point de Venice
or an ecclesiastical lace cut to form
a deep center V and two side points
which later fall from the tops of the
shoulders half way down to the ell,
bows. These points show only from
the back. The front of the unique
coat collar is a V-shaped plastron OF
finest linen edged with a plated wide
frill of linen, lace bordered. Any
home needle-woman can make one OF
these coat collars and she'll find it q
convenience when it is necessary to
add a few dressy touches to the
tailor-made crash or thin serge Of
somber hue.

Smart Street Dresses.

According to the Dry Goods Econo.
mist, during the last few weeks metro
politan stores have made a special fea-
ture Of smart street dresses. The char
meuse models have proved the most in
demand, but crepe de chine, bengaline
and various styles of brocaded silks
have been taken up to a considerable
extent. For more practical use serge
street dresses in plain color or with
hairlne stripes have sold well. Novel
ty worsted, sponge, Bedford cord and
similar cloths also appear in the sim
pie one-piece dresses which come IN
der'the classification Of practical mod
els. In some of the wooden materials
either silks or chiffons are used in
combination, particularly in develop
ing the waist.

BABYS HAPPINESS
DEPENDS ON HEALTH

When your baby is cross and fret
full instead Of the happy, laughing lit
tie dear you are accustomed to, in all
probability the digestion has become
disarranged and the bowels need at
tention. Give it a mild laxative, dis
pei the irritability, and bring back
the happy content Of babyhood.
The mother should make sure that
the laxative used contains no opiate
or narcotic drug A mild, pleasant
tasting, harmless laxative like DR..
Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin is ideal for
children because of its natural COM
position and gentle action. A small
dose of Syrup Pepsin at bedtime will
bring easy, certain relief next morn
ing, and with no distressful gripping or
ether discomfort. You can get DR..
Caldwell's Syrup PepsiD at any drug

Shine on Black Cloth.


There are several methods used for
removing shine on black cloth, but
the best one is to take a piece of
new black crinoline and wet 1t, then
lay over the shiny spot This should
be covered with a dry cloth and then
pressed with a very hot iron. If the
iron is hot enough it will make the
crinOline adhere to the serge. You
must pull the former away quickly as
you would a plaster, and this will
raise the nap of the serge so that it
looks dull again. The shine is created
by the nap being pressed down so fat,
so it will be seen the usual plan of
rubbing with liquid is only a tempo
raTy remedy. 1t removes the gloss
but the nap is still flattened.

all the filmy laces that are grouped
under the head OF French laces or
"fancies"-are used in a multitude Of
ways
Sometimes a wide panel OF lace,
plain or draped, starts between the
shoulder blades and is allowed to fall
free over the skirt or is draped to the
skirt. The lace may start higher, at
the shoulder seams, or it may begin
on the front of the bodice, be drawn
over the shoulders and down in V
TO the waist line In the back and then
form a drapery or scarf ends over
the back of the skirt.
There are many effective coat tail
arrangements of lace In this last
class, the lace perhaps forming a
fchu drapery on the front of the
bodice or merely making a wide col
lar over the shoulders and then de.
scending to form the little coat tails
in the back.

revived and are seen not only on
