size of these leaves depends the
size of the stalks. In the fail
cover over the bed with coarse

this in with the soil. Set the

For strawberries a couple of

Set the plants, which you can OBJ
tain from any of the numerous
persons who grow them. in rows
from two to three feet apart and
three feet apart In the row. Re-
move runners as fast as they
form.
With little hoeing and weed
ing the beds seem to produce just
as good crop the second year a.
the first. In planting see that
the buds are above the ground.
Set them as early in the spring
as the ground can be worked.
Press the soil firmly about them.
Water may be poured into the
hole and as soon as It has soaked
away the soil can be packed about
the plants.

Wipe Out the Death Trap

The automobile catastrophe which resulted in the
deaths Of four widely known and justly honored
members Of pioneer families late Tuesday surely
ought to be enough to bring about long needed i'm
movement in highway conditions at the point where
The accident occurred.
1t is death trap and has been so recognized since
automobiles came into vogue by the people OF the
two counties who traverse it.
In bad curve near the bridge DIR. Rininger one of
Eeattle's leading practitioners, killed two years
ago. Last year another fatal accident occurred on
this self-same bridge. Now, climax, comes the
Simultaneous wiping out of four lives, each one OF
which has been positive force for good both in Ia
coma and Seattle.
The road needs Strengthening. Thagrade should
be altered better bridge should be installed, and
its position should be changed Warming signs
should be erected if they still are needed and safety
throughout should be made the first consideration.
For Tacoma and Seattle cannot afford to lose such
automobile loads as plunged into the Duwamish
river Monday. Death scarcely could have picked
four figures better chosen to cause feeling of pub
lie loss.
So let's at least derive this much good from the
calamity that we Immediately force improvements
whereby future accidents of the kind cannot or at
least ought not, occur.

A DUB's QUERY

Editor The Times:
Why are the city tennis courts
at Sixth avenue and I street lock-
ed until a. m? There are
many Of us in that part of town
who would like to play before Z.
and in fact who have no other
time available. as the courts are
always crowded with high school
pupils from 1880 p. m. until dark.
And in fact, why do they need
to be locked at all at this sea-
son? There is nothing inside to
be stolen. And even If there was.
thief could find his way
through the big hole in the wire
netting ON the north Side.

in the case Of four Orting boys
who broke into a shack where an
ex-saloonkeeper had liquor stor-
ed, and took some of the bottles.
1t was their first offense.
They were arrested and SEN
fenced for eight months in the
county Jail, before their friends
had time to intercede in their be-

the liquor more guilty than the

Some of this contempt of court business would be
funny if it not beginning to reach right into
our very bedrooms as method of government.
The latest is the case of Capt. Thomas +. Ryan, U.
s. A., who is up for contempt of an Indiana judge
for critcising the court for having given highway
r0bber the choice of going to prison joining the
army. Naturally, the robber tried to become one Of
Capt. Toms professional associates and naturally,
Tom kicked.
1t is true that the army is somewhat short Of men,
but putting in the robbers will not help since that
will drive out keep out men who not robbers.
It surely is no disgrace to belong to the army, nor
is it good policy to consider such vocation punish
ment Hence, we re so dense that we can't see why
this robber should not have been given a choice Of
Jail or membership in the Knights Templars, the
Cleveland Grays, the Y. M. G. A. or something else
equally as good and probably an almighty lot more
reformatory than the o. s. A.
Mind you, ere merely making suggestions We
don't want to criticize that judge and go TO Jail with
Capt Tom Ryan, at least not to Indiana Jail, and
we would follow our suggestions with most re-
spectful inquiry as to what the u S. army has done
that should have highwaymen judicially prescrib
ed for it and as to whether may safely kick if the
same be prescribed for our family circle.

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

As to Legality of Any Transactions
 They Contemplate,

Washington, March 18.-The federal trade commission will make no at tempt to advise corporations in ad vance as to the legality, under the trade commission act, of any trans actions they contemplate.
 Many inquiries from business con- cerns have been received by the de- 'partment of justice and will be re- ferred to the commission. Members of the commission, however, indicated today that they feel the act does not place any such duty upon them and that they would be physically unable to consider forms of contracts or sell ing contracts which hundreds of com panies might submit for approval
 The commission is required by law to aid the department of justice in disentang1ing the affairs of a corpor- ation where violation of law has been disclosed by investigation. Its respon- sibility in that regard, however, is linn ited to advice after the fact, and the commissioners have determined it is said. that it would be impossible to interpret it in advance, at the request of a corporation in a special instance, the regulations for the government of interstate concerns which it will pro- mitigate.
 The commissioners today continued their organization conferences. It was said that many corporations volun- taTily were complying with the terms and spirit of the new law by altering forms Of contracts and agreements

Don't Be Pussy
 About Eating
Your Stomach Will! Digest Any Kind of Food When Given the
 Proper Assistance.

We are prone to fall into the error of sing1ing out some article of food and soundly berating the tiend who first invented the dish. The habit all food is put on the blacklist. This Is all wrong. What is required is a little assistance with those agencies upon which scientific students for many years have set their seal of ap- provaI because they have become ab- solute facts. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets for all stomach disorders are recognized; they have a fine record; they are rated reliable. dependable and worthy of confidence just as the president Of a big bank puts his K on a depositor's check. And so you can eat what you want. whatever you like, knowing well that should indigestion, sour risings, gas forna- tions, lamentations or any other stomach distress arise, Stuart's Dye pepsia Tablets in a few moments will put you right.
 Coated tongue, bad breath. heart burn, belching. 1atulency, bloat-aH the symptoms of digestive troubles disappear quickly when these tablets are used. They are not a cure for anything but dyspepsia and kindred complaints. But they have brought relief to more sufferers from diSes- tive diseases than all the patent medicines and doctors prescriptions put together
 The stomach does the heaviest work of any of the bodily organs, yet it's the one we treat with the least re- gard. We eat too much of the wrong kind of food at any time. The pa tient stomach stands such treatment as long as it can and then it rebels. You get notice of the rebellion in the shape of the gases and pains caused by undigested, fermenting food.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold and recommended by all druggists at soc box,
