Appoint Woman on Police Force.

North Yakima, WASH. Mrs.
Myrtle ID. Roberts. former secretary
of the State Federation of Women's
Christian Temperance Unions, has ta-
ken up her duties as North Yakima's
first police matron. with especial jur-
isdiction over dance halls and young
boys and girls on the streets. The
decision to name a matron was
brought about by a new interpreta-
ton of the functions of such an Of
fetal. 1t was argued at first that
there was no place for a matron at
the city Jail and no need for one. as
women are rarely incarcerated there.
The duties which will be assigned to
Mrs. Roberts, however, will not take
her to the police station at all. She
will work from 4 O'Clock in the after
noon to IL O'Clock a night and will
wear a plain tailored blue suit with
her police star under the lapel.

Flying Dutchman Fable,

The legend Of the Flying Dutch
man is the most picturesque and ro-
mantle of the many tales current
among sailors half century ago. 1t is
also perhaps, the best known nanti-
cal legend. Novelists have used it as
.heir theme; poets have embellished
tho tale with their verse; dramatists
have familiarized the public with IT,

In the Maxwell "Mascottc' you have room for
the whole f~amily-power enough in its Is horsepower
motor for any emergency-hills or heavy roads-and
high-class style that you can be proud of.
Maxwell reliability, too, is a part of this car. No
other car has back of it such a record. Maxwell
holds the highest team score in the last two Glidden
Tours; the world record ofl0,OO miles cross-country
without stopping motor; and records of New York
State show 9l% Of the Maxwell cars sold seven
years ago again registered this year in active service.

This was because the Maxwell "Mascottc' is
the first real high-grade family touring car ever
offered the public for less than $1,000.
That it fits the niche we knew was waiting for it,
has been amply proven by the manner in which it
was received by the public at the shows.
At all the shows the Maxwell "MaScottc' drew
enthusiastic approval. 1t was conceded wonderful
value. Such judgment by the motoring public
demands your consideration in your search for the
best car at the price.
No other car at such a price meets SO completely
the requirements of the family man-thc man Of
moderate income.

in reality did little but bring blushes

THHnsDAY, April 4, -. ...1912

The city council is taking some
definite steps in the direction of per-
manent street improvements for Hepp-
ner, and for this they are to be COM
mended. Each member fully realizes
that to put our Main street, alone, in
shape that it should be from the de-
Dot to the power house is job that
will call for considerable outlay of
cash, yet it will be one of the best
things that can possibly be done to ad-
vertise our little CITY. Time was
when Herpner was beautiful little
home city and it can be restored to its
former beauty and attractiveness.
The councll has this end in view.
Why sould we not have people making
permanent homes here and putting up
beautiful residences more than is be-
ing done at present? Why should all
these people who come to this county
and make money out of the resources
here pull up at the end Of few
years and go some where else to spend
their money in building M and beau
tifying other cities? There is no
good reason for it perhaps, except the
lack of proper public spirit and civic
pride of our citizens. No move helps
more to hold people to town than
the permanent improvement of its
streets and highways and we hope to
s this work pushed along and definite
action taken before many months.
There is enough rock in the bluff in
the middle of upper Main street to
macadamize every street in town and
the opportunity is before us to make
the work serve a double purpose SO far
as this street is concerned. This pa
DER is in favor of the matter being put
to a vote of the people at an early
date upon an initiative measure, au-
thorizing the bonding of the city in
sufficient sum TO al least pave Main
street. and to do even more than this
If upon investigation it can be ascer-
tained that other streets can bek inn
proved without too heavy cash outlay
in the beginning.

NEEDS TREATMENT

When child sulks drowsily. or is
tretful, it is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs, and
mild laxative is very often all that is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy of spirits.
IN cases where the use OF a gentle,
effective laxative stimulant is indi-
Gated, many of the best physicians are
now prescribing Dr. Caidwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
~ the perfect laxative, being mild. yet
positive in its action on the bowels.
and far preferable to violent cathart-
les and purgative waters. 1t is very

remedy to regulate and strengthen the
