SILENCE.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WAIT.

Come heart. let Us sit down awhile,
 Let's stop this maddening rush, And nestling down in calm content
 We'll listen to the hush. Let influence upon us pour
 Of all that's brightest, best; And in the glow of sweet release
 We'll find the surest rest. Twill give us strength to start anew; Twill quicken weary hearts, And give the peace so truly blest
 Which nevermere departs.

WAR UPON PAIN

Pain is a visitor to every home and
usually it comes quite unexpectedly.
But you are prepared for every emer-
genry if you keep small bottle of
Sloan's LIniment handy. 1t is the
greatest pam killer ever discovered.
Simply laid on the skin-no rubbug
required-it drives the pain away. 1t
is really wonderful.
Mervin H.. Soister, Berkeley, CAL,
writes: "Last Saturday, after tramp.
ing around the Panama Exposition with
wet feet, came home with my neck
SO stiff that couldn't turn. l ap-
piled Sloan S Liniment freely and went
to bed. To my surprise, next morning
the stiffness had almost disappeared,
four hours after the. second application
was as good as new"

DUSTRIAL INSURANCE BOARD
IN OCTOBER.

A notable resumption of business
activity in Washington is indicated by
the October statement of the indus
trial insurance com mission, which
shows 1888 new employers, firms or
individuals, listed during that month.
From the rate at which new employ
ers' accounts have come in during the
early days of November, it is likely
that the record for this month will
exceed October. although work ordi-
narily falls off as winter approaches.
During the fiscal year ending Sep
TENDER 80 the department listed an
average of 25S new employers a
month The fact that several new
industries were taken under the act,
however, explained considerable;
portion of the increase during the
year. This is not the case with the
3S3 new employers listed during Oc-
tober. A considerable number are
engaging in logging enterprises.
Annual reports for the year ending
June 80, 1915, filed by the Northern
Pacific, O-W. R. & N. and s. P. & 8.
railroads with the public service COM
mission, indicate falling off of about
10 per cent in gross revenues during
the year, operating expenses being re-
duced, in most cases, however, SO that
the actual net income Of the railroads
shows little decrease.
The Northern Pacific, larges en-
ployer of labor in this state, indicates
in its reports that conditions in the
state have been mending rapidly since
last spring. Its report shows 1884
