ITS SURE TO HELP SOME

Photographic news from Seattle say that the trans portaon companies have agreed to meet the transcon tnental railroad officials for the purpose of devlsmg ways and whereby the fish traffic that IS now being diverted Prince Rupert will be held there.
 If this means anything, it means that the trans portation companies will formulate a new schedule of rates on fish, and that the reduction will be such as to astonsh the natives. )
 That is one way of going after the business, but it isn't the only way. However, that will help some Meanwhile we are travelling rapidly toward the time when a new administration will come in and we can 11evert back to the old way of doing things, which was the proper remedy We say proper because the reduction of rates is only makeshift and can not last And should the Grand Trunk Pacific meet the cut, We are left again.

REMEMBER PoLAND's cHRIsTMAsl

There is powerful appeal in Senator Kens resolution asking for special day during the holi- days when Poland's welfare may be considered.
 The United States enjoys national prosperity unparralled. Poland swept and reswept by mighty contending forces, is indeed bereft Unless it be Serbia, no nation in Europe has suffered has Po- land. None is more stricken. Rich and poor have paid terrible penalty for which not of their choosing.
 So this suggestion, which has behind it all the force of plea from the highest deliberative body in our land canno be denied. For 1915 hast ems to its end having bestowed undreamed of riches. For millions more Christmas has relief from anxiety. For Americans this closing year has brought bright hope.
 Out of the great affuence which has come to the country riches accumulate in small way from Europes losses, America we'll afford to heed the anguish of poor Poland. In Serbia, in Belgium al ready American generosity has built up respect and friendship for things transatlantic Poland now calls The comfortable people of the United States will honor their nation by responding to the cry. They will put better meaning into Christmas They will add incacuably to happiness and to the well-being of a utterly cast down.

Russian correspondent sends from Petrograd a letter written by Alexandra Kokovsteva, who has been decorated by the Czar with the cross of St
 George and who is a sort of modern Joan of Are to the Russian people. Her husband was an officer ol Cossack regiment, and she desgused herself as a man and joined the regiment. Even her husband did not learn her identity until she had distinguished herself by her courage She is now colonel SeV- eral other women are fighting in the Russian army
 Mime. Col Kokovtseva is quoted as writing from the front "Frightfu as this carnage is, however, you must not think me caous. Only this is holy war; and these things are inseparable from war. If one did not kill the enemy, would be of no service to the little father and the great Russia But through .al this violence 1 know that after 1t shall have gained in all that becomes woman-faithfulness and tenderness and pity for the poor"-Martin Marshall

Whv "Pin Money"

For long time after pins were In
vented in the fourteenth century they
were used only by the wealthy. It
cost so much to manufacture them
that the poor and even the middle
classes could not afford them. Each
pin was made by filing one end OF a
wire OF the proper length to point,
and then twisting piece Of finer wire
about the other end. The complete
process is said to have involved about
thirteen different operations, requir-
ing as many different persons. In 1877
Timothy Harris OF England succeeded
in making the first solid-headed pin.
In 1924 an American named Wright
made a great Improvement over Har-
ris' method, and in 1881 John !. Howe
of New York city invented a machine
for making pins as we now have them.
At one period, when pins were ex-
pensiye Injuries, it was customary to
give a young lady q certain amount
on her marriage for pin money" The
custom disappeared long ago, but the
term pin money" remains.

ARGUMENT FOR METAL POSTS
Coming Into Use on Many Farms
Where Permanent Fences Arc Being
Made-They VIII Not Burn.

There are several good and sound
arguments for the use OF metal posts,
and they are coming into use on many
farms where permanent fences are be-
ing made.
These posts can be driven, in most
cases, not needing to be set. They
do not rot, and will not burn. They
also furnish ground connection as
protection against lightning in case
Of wire fences
Wire fences can be grounded at
small cost of time and money, but al
a general thing they are not. The
little work and expense needed will
usually be postponed until animals
are killed.
Fires which get beyond control, and
those set to burn out weeds and rub
bish along the fences will not damage
either metal or concrete posts; and all
these reasons are convincing many
that such posts will prove more eco
nomical than wood where wood is
hard to get and replace when through
service.

Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous, respondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaci-
tated by illness.
II we all would practice inside-bath-
ing, what gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands Of
half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds of happy. healthy. rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which 1t accumulates under our pres
emit mode of living. For every ounce
OF food and drink taken into the sys-
tenn nearly an ounce Of waste material
must be carried out, else It ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as 1t Is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, SO we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous days
accumulation Of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, wheth-
er sick or well, are advised to drink
each morning, before breakfast, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoonful OF limestone phosphate in
1t, as a harmless means Of washing
out Of the stomach. liver, kidneys and
bowels the indigestible material,
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before put
ting more food into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their
turn at constipation, bilious attacks,
acid stomach, nervous days and sleep
less nights have become real cranks
about the morning inside-bath. A quar-
ter pound of limestone phosphate will
not cost much from your druggist or
at the store, but Is sufficient to DEM
onstrate to anyone, its cleansing,
sweetening and freshening effect upon
the system.-Adv.

BILIOUS, HEADACHY,
SICK ''CASCARETS'
Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.
Get a 1O-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi-
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in-
testines, instead OF being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue 1t causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons In the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Adv.

Snowsheds q Necessity.

Travellers passing through the Sierra
Nevadas during the winter are famil-
lar with the peculiar sights that follow
heavy snowfall not accompanied
with wind. for they have seen build
ings completely buried from view. the
only Indication OF their presence be-
ing mound Of snow shaped like the
roof. They have seen small buildings
with snow perhaps ten feet deep on
the roof, and posts with such big
white cap that they looked like giant
mushrooms.
At numerous points snow twenty
five feet deep on the level is not I'M
common, and q one-story building,
buried to the caves, Is q frequent
sight. This peculiar condition In the
Sierras was the cause for building the
snowsheds. which extend 81 miles
along the railway tracks between Blue
canyon and. the Truckee. Without
these sheds the railroad could not be
operated, but their cost Is enormous.

No man or woman who eats meat

uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheu-
matism. headaches, liver trouble, ner-
vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.

nous salts Is made from the acid OF
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with nthia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate the
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irrita-

Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
