UNWELcoME CARNIVAL VISITORS

New Orleans. Jan. 25-Hoboes, as
sembling here from all parts of the
country for their national convention,
have added a new feature to the gay
carnival crowds that hold sway on the
eve of the opening of the Mardi Gras
festivities. The presence of the tramps
has suggested new idea in masks and
there are Happy Hooligans" galore,
until there is no telling how many Of
those in the characteristic garD o.
the knights of the road are really
those who have been drawn here by
their annual convention. In the resi-
dencC districts an unusual number of
applications for donations from the
larder are being made, but. on the
whole the delegates ne conducting
themselves well and appear to be anx-
ious to avoid any appearance of evil.
The daily attendance at the free baths
tends to belle the popular theory that
the fraternity is opposed to soap and
w alter. A local clothier, however has
put a premium on bathing by present
ing several articles Of new apparel
when there is evidence that the task
has been performed faithfully.

1t is also claimed that many honest
skeptics and infidels would be re-
claimed for that which they have found
fault with is not in the Bible, as they
had supposed, but instead, some false
theories advanced by man and termed
in the Scriptures "Doctorings of Dew
lis"
"Why God Has Permitted EVIL is
the topic which will be presented by
this Bible exegete. 1t is said Mr..
Emerson does not expect his hearers
to stifle their reasoning powers, but
instead encourages and insists upon
each one accepting and acting upon
Gods proposition, "Come, let us rea'
son together" Mr. Emerson is said
to be an able speaker and makes his
address clear and interesting to mis-
audience.
The lecture IS free and no coilec
ton will be taken up. All are cor
daily invited to hear Mr.. Emerson
especially those who are deeply inter
ested in Bible study.

DIED OF EXPOSURE
Pathetic Case of Little Girl Found
Alone on the City Streets. Death
Could Have Been Averted.

A poor little gum vendor was found
dead on the streets of New Orleans,
the other day 1t was not the chilly
weather that had killed her, but a
protracted cold and cough that had
gone unattended 1t had so affected
her lungs that pneumonia took hold
and the child died after medical relief
was too late. There are hundreds of
cases like this, even in the wealthiest
families. Too many people laugh at
colds, and then wonder why pneu-
monia, grippe and finally tuberculosis
gain entrance to the system.
Ge-Rar-Dy Lung Balsam has long
been recognized as preventive for
serious cold weather diseases. 1t
quickly checks bad cough, loosens
up a cold, heals and soothes the in
famed membranes. No household
should be without this valuable rem
edy. 1t is especially useful in the
cure of Group and whooping cough.
When the cost of this remedy, only
Csc a bottle, is considered, one quickly
realizes the foolishness of being with

it's usually too sticky, so insist upon
getting "Wyeth's" which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair and is the
best remedy for dandruff, dry, fever
ish, itchy scalp and to stop falling
hair.
Folks like "Wyeth's Sage and Gull
hpur" because no one can possibly
tell that you darkened your hair, as it
does it so naturally and evenly, says
a well-known downtown druggist. You
dampen a sponge or soft brush and
draw it drought your hair, taking
one small strand at time. This re-
quires but a few moments, by morn
ing the gray hair disappears and after
another application or two is restored
to it's natural color and looks even
more beautiful and glossy than ever.

SICKNESS FROM
DISEASED MEAT

Members of families in Taco
ma are getting sick every day
that no one ever hears about be-
cause of eating the poisons that
are in meat that is diseased, sold
in this. city
Such was the startling state
ment of DR.. Calkins, city milk
and dairy inspector, and an ex-
pert on meat, before the city
council Wednesday afternoon. He
said the cooking of the. meat did
destroy the disease germ but 1t
did not destroy the blood poison
that was generated by the disease
germ and which permeates the
meat often. s& -
"That Is where you get your
ptomaine poisoning" significantly
suggested DR.. Cal6ins. He plead
led for universal inspection of
meat but recognized that it will
be difficult task until all the
cities in the Northwest cooperate
and get common ground for the
inspection.
Now msat can come into Taco
ma without any inspection and all
sorts of diseased cattle may be
killed and brought In ana sold
and no one ia any the wiser.

task would be much simplified If

This is legal bunk. The law
amounts to declaration by the peo-
pie Of the state that in their opinion

it clear that we don't want to con.
