The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1913-02-22

This years republican state
legislature is not far behind the
record of previous sessions in the
introduction of fool bills. But
occasionally a bill is introduced
and urged for passage, undoubt-
edly from an honest motive, but
insiduous in its character so as to
incite factional fights and keep
up the clash between various or
ganizations.
One bill is in the house which
would make it a gross misde-
meanor to display red flag at
the head of any procession, and
providing that all parades other
than funerals shall carry at the
head an American flag not
less than 50x60.
While it is a laudable ambition
to make prominent the American
flag over flags of other nations,
and to prevent open insult to the
national emblem, in comparison
with the above mentioned bill it
would be just as reasonable and
just as righteous to enact legis-
lation requiring that each male
over 23l years of age, marching
at the head of a procession, shall
wear red and white socks and blue
galluses, and shall not carry a
red handkerchief in his hand,
and that all funeral professions
shall carry a black flag to denote
that the corpse is really dead.

The veto of the Cheney Normal
School appropriation bill by Gov
ernor Lister has caused much dis
cussion throughout the state.
Thetotal proposed expenditure for
the rehabilitation of the Cheney
school was about $500, ,000-quite
a neat sum, considering that this
state already has two other nor
NAL schools in operation.
The governor, in his first mes
sage, called attention to the un-
businesslike method of keeping
up three poorly equipped normal
schools, when two, or even one
good school of this kind, could be
made a credit to the state and at
much less expense. He evidently
meant what he said, for he We
toed the half million dollar idea
of the legislature to re-establish
a third school.
From the standpoint of senti-
ment of Cheney graduates, and
the business interests of the res
idents of that place, it is hard to
see this popular school 60. But
when the rancher comes to pay
his state taxes, he may appreci-
ate the Dusinesslike method pro-
posed by the new governor
knowing all the time that the
states educational opportunities
are not in the least lessened.
Only a few people of the state
are interested directly at Cheney.
All are interested directly in
state taxation for things not nec-
essary.
President r. Il. Parks or the
Inland Empire Federation of
Commercial Clubs has called the
quarterly meeting of the fedora

is to be hoped that a number from
Stevens county can attend this
important meeting.
Spokane mining men predict
that the coming summer will see
the greatest activity in the min
ing industry in the history of the
Pacific Northwest, basing their
opinions on the unusually large
number of inquiries from eastern
investors, who state they are
looking to the mineral belts of this
section for investments. There
are now more deals pending for

A plan is being prepared by a
number of manufacturers and
wholesale dealers whereby they
will advertise their wares at
prices direct from the factory"
laid down into this state. How
ever, this will be done only on
lines which are not advertised by
retailers in the different towns
and cities, the idea being that the
retailer who advertises in his
local paper will sell the goods,
but one who does not advertise
will not sell them, thus forcing
the manufacturer to do the ad-
vertising-and sell direct.

the purchase of entire properties
than the most sanguine mining
man ever regarded as possible.
In the Idaho Coeur d d'Alenes are
many mines just reaching active
development that will be produc-
ing heavily in a few months.
Unusual activity is noticed in the
Chewelah district, where rich
copper deposits are responsible
for the attention capital is giving
the district. The Republic dis
trict is more active than for many
years, aud important develop
ments are anticipated as result
of a merger of Republic proper
ties planned by group of eastern
capitalists.
The market for furs and hides
is broken, and prices are very
much less than two months ago,
with little buying at the reduced
prices. Coyote skins in the past
have brought good prices, but
Chinese bear skins have taken
their place in the fur market.
Bear hides will probably retain
the old price, and Stevens county
ought to furnish a goodly number,
the bounty and the hide making
it a profitable animal to hunt.

and gun club with DR.. G. T. Rigg
president, Albert Kulzer secre-
tary, and membership of so.
The time is fast coming when
grain will be handled in bulk, in
stead of by the present expensive
sack method. The Farm rs
Union of the Palouse country has
taken step in this direction, and
it is probable that a large part of
the Palouse grain will be handled
without sacks, in elevators.
The amendment to the consti-
tuition authorizing congress to
tax incomes from whatever
source derived, having been ap-
proved by three-fourths of the
states is now a part of the con-
stitution. 1t is very likely that
congress will pass a law taxing
all incomes exceeding $4,000 per
year. The needs of the country
have been growing so rapidly
that the revenue to be derived
from an income tax is now a nee
essity and it is thought that prob
ably $100, 900, 600 per year will be
collected by Uncle Sam from this
source.

FORD
The Universal Car

| ne Un1VerS al u al
On account of the many features for
safety in driving and because of its sim
plcity in control, the Ford Model T. is
especially adapted for the use of
lady drivers.
There is no complex shifting of gears
to bother the driver, none that woman
cannot understand in few minutes and
learn to control with exceedingly little
practice.
At no time in the operation of the Ford
is it necessary to remove the hands from
the steering wheel. Starting, stopping
and reversing are controlled by foot
pedals, leaving the hands of the driver
free at all times for the operation of
steering the car.

PRINCETON AGAIN
HiIItoppers to Pitch Kelly, the
Freshman HurIer, Against
Bill CIarke's Players.

Georgetown will endeavor to hand
Princeton another defeat at the Hilltop
this afternoon following Saturday 5
rather easy win. The Tigers are bent
upon putting up better article of base>
ball than that shown in the last game,
and Coach Bill Clarke, of the Tigers,
promises something better all along the
line.
Coach Harley, of the Blue and Gray
team, Will probably send Kelly, the
freshman hurler. to make a name for
himself. Harley has brought the Blue
and Gray out of it's rut and promises to
show the Hilltop followers a real team
in future.
1t mas been argued that the losses or
last week before the Princeton game
were due to the fact that Georgetown
had but little opportunity TO get any
practice and that the games which were
taken by Mt. st. Joseph's and Lafayette
We're productive OF more good than bad
for the Blue and Gray.

GREEK AND SWEDE TO
WRESTLE WEDNESDAY
High Class of Graphing Is Ex-
pected When John KiIonis
and Jess Hansen Meet.

Jess Hansen, the Swedish middle
weight wrestler makes his debut in
Washington this week, when on Friday
night he will oppose John Kilonis. the
Greek athlete, at the Gayety Theater
Most of the followers of the mat game
are familiar, through the press at least
with the high type of wrestling that
Hansen presents-and many of them
who have seen him perform say that
he is the cleverest man now working
his way up to the middleweight title.
John Kilonis. who has been sojourn-
ing in Washington for the past month";
needs little or no introduction to the
Washington sporting public. His very
name is indicative OF a superior brand
of wrestling and assures those present
of a straightforward, clean variety OF
work In his bouts with Turner, olsen,
Anderson and Lebark, he gave exhibit
tions of the highest caliber, and MS
tactics at all times was unquestionable.

HOW TO KEEP IN
PHYSICAL FETTLE
H.
By c. EDWARD BECKETT.
Physical Director Of the Y. II. c. A.

The first rule of diet for the man who
is just entering On middle age Is to eat
less. Make your breakfast light, your
luncheon lighter. If you think you
must have a hearty meal, eat il at din
ner. though even here it is necessary
for you to knock out at least a course.
These diet hints. of course, apply to
city men living a more or less seden-
:ary life; men following such occupa-
tions. for instance, as the professions.
editorial work, business. and skilled
bench trades. The laborer or other
workmen who earns mis- livelihood at
the cost Of heavy muscular exertion
may be able to eat more than the for
mer type Of man without feeling 1t,
though, If lie does so, he would do bet
ter to take his largest meal in the mid
die of the day.
Generally speaking, however. hearty
eating is merely a matter Of long GUS
tom A boy or youth must eat heartily,
for he is growing. In other words, he
must create body tissue faster than
the life processes can tear the tissue
down. In the prime of life. or say from
twenty-eight to forty or forty-ive. he
may continue to eat heartily, for tissue
repair keeps even step with tissue re-
building But when he comes into mid
die age, he doesn't need to eat SO much,
and If he does so, 1t Is merely from
force of habit. At this age the surplus
food taken into the body simply gener-
ates poisons which the excretory sys-
tenn is called to throw off; and as I
have said before the excretory system
has a hard enough time of it at this
period of life to handle the naturally
generated poisons of the system.
Growing Inability.
Looking at it from one angle. natural
old age is simply the result Of grow
ing inability of the body to throw of
these body-poisons. Hence a general
tightening Of the diet which helps to
postpone this bodily inability. is one
way of postponing the advent Of old
age.
l sometimes think that modern dem
tistry in its present high degree of per-
The Washington times., 1913-03-24

fection may be more of a bane than Q
blessing to many men, In an unctvil-
ICED condition a mans teeth naturally
drop out as he verGes upon elderly life,
just as his hair drops out. He loses
his teeth. because he doesn't need them
any more to grind the juice out Of the
coarse animal flesh the tough vexe-
tables. fruits. nuts, and seeds which
form his diet. Thereafter, nature de-
crees. he must live on soup and Dor
ridges But in civilized society, a mans
teeth, by careful treatment given them
in time. may be retained almost in
definitely. with the result that the
owner goes on indulging in heavy foods
long after the time when nature haa
called on him to stop.
These observations are made merely
to enforce the general rule, that the
man entering middle age should eat
roughly one-fourth less than has been
his custom.
This weeks exercises take another
step In advance Of those given last Sum
day. 1t Is advisable to take the fol-
lowing exercise while undressed, except
underwear. and while standing near an
open window.

Saratoga and Brighton
Likely to Have Racing

NEW YORK, March 2i-Saratoga and
possibly Brighton are the two tracks
that may open their season in New
York State. 1t is confidently asserted
by those who have followed the racing
game that AGueduct. Gravesend. Sleeps
head Bay, and Jamaica will not at
tempt to open their gates unless radical
changes are made in the laws govern
ing the sport.
A plan recently advanced was that
each OF the large tracks should put up
$4,000 to guarantee eighteen days
racing at Belmont Park. This sugges-
ton met with opposition in many quar-
ters, as some Of the tracks, notably
Saratoga, are in condition for a meet,
and will not need financial assistance.
Until this tangle is Strengthened there
is little likelihood of action anywhere.
