The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-09-11
Reason for High Cost of Living

A startling statement, one which
should cause the people of the United
States to give the matter serious
thought and then action, is that
found in an editorial of the Food
Number" recently issued by the Lon
don Times. 1t explains partially the
reason for the high cost Of living in
our country and calls attention to the
fact that there must be greater agri-
cultural development in the United
States or this nation will not be able
to maintain itself as a considerable
factor in the industrial life of the
world. The London Times says:
Eight years ago our imports Of
chilled and frozen meats from the
United States were valued at 5,000,-
900 pounds ($25, 900. OOo). In 1912
they had sunk to $4,000 pounds
(S75,000), This is by far the most
striking change that is at present tax
ing place in the food trade conditions
Of the world. 1t means that the once
great export meat trade Of the United
States is now non existent, and that
unless the Americans take steps to
increase their home production Of this
staple article of food, they will not
only cease to export, but will become,
to an increasing extent, rival buyers in
the markets of the world with our
selves and other nations. We are also
threatened with the same menace in

WENATCHFf DRIES GET BUSY
Wet Petition is Filed With the City
CIerk-Has Gil Names

The local option campaign in We
natchee is fairly launched. The Pc
tition OF the vets, asking for resubmis-
sion of the prohibition question at the
November election, was filed last Sat-
urday evening with the city clerk. 1t
contained the names Of Gil qualified
voters. Only SOB were required in
order to equal 80 per cent Of the vote
cast at the presidential election two
years ago.
The dries circulated a statement
among business and professional men
permitting none to sign whose names
appear on the wet petition. Its pur-
pose was simply to disprove the re-
port that all but six business men Of
the city had signed the petition for re-
submission. The civic league held a
meeting Saturday night and mapped
out plans for campaign. The COM
mittee declared that in circulating the
statement they found no such revul-
sion from dry sentiment as the vets
aver. They got the names of 80
heads OF business concerns and 10
professional men.
The dries are aroused by the claims
of the vets that prohibition is losing
ground in Wenatchee. They are de-
termined to prove by election returns
that the big majority of two years ago
has not diminished, but increased.

Price of Meat Sure to Drop

The war news which has been
drifting into the United States from
Europe during the past few days
has brought about spirit OF pessimism
among the cattlemen of the Pacific
Northwest. At the time hostilities
broke out in Europe the general be-
lief for time was that high war prices
would prevail. According to the best
information obtainable from the big
market centers OF the east there is no
danger Of beef shortage, but on the
contrary the prediction is made that
within a short time Americans will be
buying beef for less money than they
are at present. This is due among
other things to the fact that the war
has put a crimp in the Australian beef
trade by reason of the shortage in
ships for carrying this beef and be-
cause OF the danger accompanying at
tempts to ship beef from that country
to Europe. This Australian beef is
now accommodating and it is predicted
that by the first of the year this beef
will be dumped into the American
market by the thousands OF pounds,
thus forcing reduction in American
meat prices.

A study Of the forests of the North
west reveals the fact that the present
annual cut on the National Forests is
but a small percentage of their annual
yield. The reason for this is that the
privately owned forests are more ac-
cessible. When these private forests
have been cut, the demand for Ma
tional Forest timber will increase. AS
the sales OF timber increase, so will
the States share increase. In fact,
it will not be very many years before
the States will derive a very handsome
income from this source.

Summer Constipation Dangerous

Constipation in Summer time is more
dangerous than in the fall, winter or
spring. The food you eat is often con-

the hot weather, thus injuring your
stomach. Collie, Fever, Ptomaine

College Presidents as FiRanCIeFs.

The day seems to be long past
when the beard Of trustees or the
corporation of & college was content
to have a president who held the
chair OF biblical history Or philosophy
and gave his attention otherwise to
mere academic routine. In this era,
when the high cost Of living weighs
upon colleges as upon individuals.
more is expected Of q president than
that he shall be venerable figure

faculty meetings. He must, it ap-
pears, be a practical man Of business,

TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy
or have Bladder
trouble

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison, else you feel a dull mis-
cry in the kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or sick headache, dizzi-
ness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment: the
channels often get irritated. obliging
YOU to get up two or three times dur
ing the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys will then act fine and bladder dis
orders disappear. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys and
stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is
inexpensive; harmless and makes a
delightful effervescent lithia-water
drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus
avoiding serious kidney and bladder
diseases. ses.-Advertisement.

A beautiful love story in a pic
turesque setting and with the central
figures an educated Sioux Indian and
a rich young New Yorker as rivals for
the love of beautiful western girl, is
told in Where the Trail Divides" a
new Indian play of which Robert Ede-
son is the author. and which will
be presented at the Majestic Theater
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Love stories, no matter in what
setting. always make attractive plays.
The audiences seem never to tire of
seeing the hero clasp the beautiful
heroine in his arms and whisper the
W
oft-repeated II love YOU" and love
stories are all the more fascinating
when the hero is romantic and
manly type of American.
Mr.. EdeSon, whose "Strongheart"
will always be remembered as the
greatest Characterization of the Ameri-
can Indian, in writing Where the
Trail Divides" made How Lander, the
educated Sioux indian, most fasci-
mating figure. He received the sug-
gestion for his play from Will Lilli-
bridges novel of the great western
ranch country. He has transferred
the characters from the book to the
stage, taken a suggestion of the story
and written play that fairly breathes
the spirit of the West.
There is no character on the Ameri-
can stage that is exactly like How
Lander yet 1t is a character that
might have been taken from real life.
