matter in his own hands. Suddenly a
change came over the council and
without any warning Mr.. Wheeler
jumped up and moved that Mr.. Closes
Office be declared vacant. 1t was Sec
onded by Mr.. Miller and the vote was
unanimous. No sooner had the clerk
finished calling the roll than he was
again on his feet, this time to nomi-
nate Mr.. F. T. Motteler to fill the va
cancy. Here Mayor Woldenburg in
formed council that it was in his power
to name the man to fill the vacancy,
and that he would attend to that part.
Attorney Fox deemed it highly i'm
portant at this time to enlighten the
council on this question, and in
formed them that they could fill the
vacancy regardless of the Mayors ap-
pointments. This was complete sur
prise to Mr.. Woldenburg and even
when shown the statute he refused to
be convinced. To make matters short
he would not entertain motion for
Mr.. Motteler's confirmation until he
had received further legal advice. The
question will probably be taken up
again next week.
An application from Geo. Briskey,
who would like to tap the city's water
pipe at his ranch south of the city,
was read. Inasmuch as Mr.. Briskey
resides out of the city limits and the
supreme court has ruled that city
shall not sell water to such person,
there was much discussion over the
application. Mr.. Briskey agreed to
pay all costs of tapping the main in
addition to the regular monthly charge.
1t was finally decided to grant him
permission and the attorney was in
structed to draft an ordinance covering
such cases.
For the third or fourth time in the
past month Mr.. Miller introduced his
resolution for the drafting of a new or
dinance combining the Offices OF en-
gineer and water commissioner. AS
before it failed for want Of second.
A resolution for the building of a
pest house came up and a committee

ing. On motion it was decided to lay
it on the table for another week.
The building committee referred last
week to the improvements planned by
F. H. Hutchings on his building on
west Front street reported that the ex-
penditure would be between $500 and
$1,000. Mr.. Hutchings who was pres
ent at the meeting stated that he ex-
pected to put in concrete sidewalk,
raise his buildings to the proper grade,
put on corrugated roof and brick
veneer front. The ordinance relating
to improvements on frame structures
in the fire limits was read and after
some discussion the request was
granted.
The first step towards getting re-
duction of the light and telephone rates
in the city was made when Councilman
Wheeler moved that a committee be
appointed to take the matter up with

water Light and Water Co. On this

CASHMERE AGAIN DEFEATS
LOCALS AT BASKET BALL
0ne of the Best Games of the Season
Other School Notes and Happenings

In one OF the hardest fought basket
ball games played this season the local
high school team was defeated by the
Cashmere boys in that city on Monday.
In the early part Of the game the
Leavenworth team took the lead and
for a time the score stood to 0.
Later it was 6 to 4 with the locals lead
ing, but the Cashmere bunch gradually
overcame the visitors and when the last
hall closed the score stood SO to 10 in
favor OF the Cashmerites. A large
number of the young people drove
down to the game and all say it was
the best contest Of the season. Fol-
lowing was the lineup:
Leavenworth Cashmere
McNett right forward Kuelbs
Anderson left forward Paine
Hoxsey center Estabrook
Arborgast right guard Jones
Wunder left guard Nagley
The winning Of this game gives
Cashmere the championship of the dis
trict and sometime next month the
team will go to Pullman to compete in
a series Of games for the state champ
ionship. The local team is trying to
arrange for other games to be played
here in the near future.
Last Thursday evening Prof. H. B.
Ellison was host to five course dinner
to the basket ball boys given at the
Depot cafe. Those present were Ros-
well McNett, Carl Anderson. George
Hoxsey, Frank Arborgast, VIII Wunder,

Put That Pain to Use

The network OF cry in your body,
like the network of wires in a burglar
alarm system, gives quick warning
when anything is going wrong inside.
Looking at it in this way a pain is
q useful alarm. Now, kidney weak
ness is a dangerous thing-a condition
not TO be neglected-and it is wise
to know and pay attention to the early
alarm signals of sick kidneys.
Backache is a common warning Of
congestion or inflammation in the kid
neys. 1t may be dull, nagging pain, or

ing. There are likely to be disorders
OF urination, dizziness. headaches, and
drowsy, respondent, tired feelings.
1t is very hard to strengthen weak
kidneys at first, but neglect invites
rheumatic or neuralgia attacks, gravel,
dropsy, and fatal Brights disease.
As a special medicine for weak kid
neys Deans Kidney Pills have been
used for years all over the civilized
world, and surely are considered reli-
able. The patient a always help the

A REL l.
Food Demanded.

The human body will stand a lot Of
abuse, but sometime it will surely re-
bel and demand proper food in place
Of the pasty, starchy, greasy stuffs on
which it has been made sick.
Then Is the time to try Grape-Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food in
the world.
A lady of Washington says: Three
years ago l was very i'll with catarrh
of the stomach and was given up to
die by one doctor. / laid in bed four
months and my stomach was so weak
that l could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind of food and was so
weak and emaciated after four months
OF this starvation that my daughter
could easily lift me from bed and put
me in my chair.
But weak as my stomach was, it
accepted, relished and digested Grape
Nuts without any difficulty the first
time that wonderful food was tried.
Il am now strong ard in better
health than for q great many years
and am gradually growing still
stronger. / rely on Grape-Nuts for
much of the no%urishment that | get.
The results have certainly been won
derful in my case and prove that no
stomach is so weak it will not digest

stroy confidence in proprietary medi.
cines; but that DR.. Wiley's ideas are
not infallible is shown by cases where
his analyses were entirely wrong. Mr.
Balliett mentioned a case where, with
all the power of the Government, he
fought q preparation as being danger,
Gus to health, and was i]ngloriously
walloped.
There has been spread the idea that
a clever faker can mix a few useless
ingredients and, by smart advertising,
sell tons Of it aud win sudden wealth;
whereas, as a matter of fact, the medi
cine business is VIGOROUSLY difficult.

merit cannot live, because persons
who are duped into buying it once will
not buy it again, and the profit from
advertising a medicine can only come
from repeat sales to the same, salts.
fed people. Therefore, any medicine
which has been on the market for .
ullDS " SNdlCy anu Io SNlll duN6l
tised, must have merit behind it to 40,
count for it's success.
In conclusion Mr.. Balliett declared
that no newspaper is doing justice to
its readers in the matter Of medical
or other advertising, unless it investt-
gates. not only the wording of the ad,
vertisemeEt offered for publication,
but the merits of the article adver-
tised. He pointed out that the few
newspapers who have been deluded
into the policy of barring out medical
advertising have adopted this general
policy, rather than to form an inves,
tigation bureau Of this kind which
could, in a constructive and useful eff
fort, investigate and decide what is
a good product and what is a fraud,
in not only the medicine business, but
in every other business which adver
tises its wares to the public.
The audience seemed TO agree with
Mr.. Balliett's ideas on the subject and
the chairman decided the question st

DEFENDS POPULAR REMEDIES
Speakers Says Newspaper Should In.
vestigate Merits of Medicines Be-
fore Barring Advertisements.

That IN organized attempt has been
made to blacken the reputation of the
popular family remedies of this ccun-
try, and to mislead the newspaper
publishers into rejecting the adver-
Using Of such medicines, was the
charge made by Carl j.. Balliett. OF
Buffalo, N. Y, at the convention of the
Advertising Afiliation at Detroit.
Mr.. Balliett is a director of the Pro.
prietary Association of America, which
includes in its membership two hun
dred firms which make the popular
prepared medicines of America.
Mr. Balliett pointed out that it is
the duty of the newspaper publisher
TO refuse the advertising Of any fake
or fraudulent medicine, just as 1t is
his duty to refuse any fake or fraudu-
lent advertising, but it is net right to
shut down on all medical advertising
because there have been some takers,
any more than it would be right to
refuse to publish all department store
advertising because certain stores
have made a practice of lying about
bargain sales.
Disease and death are mysteries.
People who are perfectly well are
skeptical. They laugh at the time
worn patent medicine joke, just as
they laugh again and again over the
many variations of the operation joke
Tho operation was q success but
the patient died" This so-called hui
NOR has perhaps hurt the medicine
business with well people, but when
the hitherto healthy man feels a Sc
we're pain or illness, he Immediately
wants medicine, and will bless the
cure whether it be at the hands of a
regular doctor, a ~homeopath. an osteo-
path, a Christian Scientist or patent
medicine. There is nothing more
deadly than disease; nothing more
honorable than to cure it.
Mr.. Balliett refuted the idea sought
to be spread about that patent medi-
cines are unpopular by showing that
from 1900 to 1912 the amount of pre-
pared medicines consumed in America
increased from 500, 000, 900 to $780,.
100000 annually. He showed that, al.
though the American Medical Associ-
alton is trying as an organization to
exterminate so-called patent medi.
cines, the family doctor, individually,
is not fighting them but prescribing
them. He estimated that 400 OF the
prescriptions written by doctors today
include proprietary medicines.
