There they lit more cigars,

number of addresses.
One of the most surprising was
by DR.. e. o. Jones of Seattle,
who said that goitre around
P9get Sound was more startling
ly prevalent than almost any
where else in the country. Espe-
cially. he said, this was so with
the young folks.
He had statistics from DR.. D..
C. Hall, who examines all stu

OF all those who came from Puget
Sound suffered from this disease.
Once away from the sound,
there is practically no goitre in
the state.
The automatic spread of the
disease, which many persons mis-
takenly regard but lightly, is one
of the causes.

For the last IL years Wolf
Plume has dispensed justice to

He has never been known to
grant a divorce, although many
have been brought before him.
His formula is to jail the Offend

mend his way, or order the hus-
band to forgive his wife and con-
tinue to live with her, should he
be the plaintiff.
Horse thieves and peddlers of
"fire-water" constitute the major

Judge Wolf Plume requires the
thief to restore the horse In the
one character of cases, and In the
other confiscates the liquor and
sends the offender to Fort Leav-
enworth for four or six months.
