One more advantage OF no small i'm
portance is the fact that where clay
pipe and cement pipe are in competi-
ton, the prices are very materially
reduced For example, let any one
who so desires get prices on sewer
pipe in this county, either on clay or
cement, and then get prices on the
same grade of clay pipe for Seattle
use, and he win soon form some idea
as to how many thousands Of dollars
we have saved the people Of this
county in the building of their sewers
We ask that you give us your
patronage and heartily support an
home concern, so that we may be able
to withstand the heavy opposition of
the CLAY PIPE TRUST.
Yours very truly,

Take Plenty of Time to Eat.

There is saying that "rar.d
eating is slow suicide" If you have
formed the habit of eating too rap
idly you are most likely suffering
from indigestion or constipation,
which will result eventually in Sc
rious illness unless corrected. Di-
gestion begins in the mouth. Food
should be thoroughly masticated
and insalivated. Then when you
have fullness of the stomach or
feel dull and stupid after eating,
take one of Chamberlain's tablets.
Many severe cases of stomach
trouble and constipation have been
cured by the use of these tablets.
They are easy to take and most
agreeable in effect. Sold by all deal
ers.

Four out of the six powers of Eu-
rops which are today engaged in
warfare have colonial possessions,
and dependencies
scattered all over the world.
Austria Hungary and Russia have
no colonial possessions. though the
Russian Empire stretches through
the continents of Europe and Asia
and presents long coast line on the
northern Pacific. OF the others,
Great Britain has colonies and pro-
tectorates the world over; France
has colonies and Drotectorates In Al
rica, India, China, in South America,
in the West Indies, in the north At

oceans. Germany has colonial poses

Pacific ocean, and Italy has depend

China.
England's vast empires, India,
Canada, and Australia; her holdings
on the Malay peninsula: her colonies
in Africa, and her fortified positions
in the Mediterranean, Gibraltar and
Malta. put her at the head of the
colony-holding nations of the world:
they also increase the field of her
protective operations in the war in
which she is involved.
Many of the minor holdings OF the
four powers with colonial possessions
to defend are themselves without
military strength. In many cases the
protecting power has only very small
garrisons on shore, amounting to
nothing more than local police fore
es. This is particularly true in Al

Triple Alliance

The triple alliance was formed in
1888 between Germany. Austria
Hungary and Italy for the purpose OF
checking cncroachments by Russia
and France. BY its provisions the
three powers are bound to support
one another in certain contingencies.
Its terms were mace more defin-
lite in 1887 The exact provisions OF
the alliance have not been divulged,
but are said to have been modief as
to France and Italy in 1893 The al
lance was renewed in 1902 and in
1907. for certain periods, and the
period of its last renewal extended to
June IA, 1914. 1t has been reported,
but apparently from no authoritative
source. that the alliance has been re-
newed without alteration for a term
of twelve years. 1t would appear
that the recent demands OF Italy
against Turkey. followed by Italy's
declaration of war. were assented to
by the alliance. For many years
Great Britain. while not party to
the alliance, was closely linked with
it through apprehension of French
and Russian aggressiveness, but lat
er, becoming disquieted by the
growth of the German naval power,
adopted in 1902, a decided change OF
policy with the view to seeking the
balance of power greater security
against INVASION.
In pursuance of the policy of Great
Britain entered into an agreement
with France in 1904 and with Russia
in 1907. The aims of the triple en-
tente, so-called, Great Britain.
France and Russia, were substantial
ly as follows:
l. The balance of power.
2. The strengthening OF the
treaty law in the interests of peace
and the status quo. ..fr.
3. Disarmament.
In the event of war between the
triple alliance and those of the triple
entente tEngland. France and Rus
sia,). the land forces of the entente
would exceed by probably million
men those of the alliance. but it is
