law that the new commissioners
should recommend to the next
legislature and which the pres
ent commission ought to have
made to the last legislature, is a
system for the prevention OF
fraud in the matter OF payments
to the funds by employers. An
investigation has demonstrated
that honest and responsible firms
and individuals are being made
to bear the burden that should
properly fall on operators who
escape payment of premiums un-
der the lease system.
An examination of the records
shows that certain mining COM
panies and logging firms have
Ievaded payment of premiums by
| the simple plan of going out OF
business or giving up the lease
to another. These firms or In

Use KENNEWICK GAS
THAT the Kennewick gas and
oil field is already attracting
the attention of the industrial
world is evidenced by an article
which appeared in last Sundays
Spokesman-Review. The writer
in, urging the building of suitable
smelters in the Inland Empire
for handling zinc ores says:
There can be no doubt that
the production of zinc will be
continued in the Inland Empire
when the attention of capital has
been secured by it's wealth OF ore
resources, and the anomaly is
recognized of investing millions
in the production of lead at Az
cents a pound while leaving in
idleness equally vast stores OF
a metal worth 6 centsta pound
which is no more costly to mine
and need not be any more
costly to reduce to metallic form
/ While Spokane has no gaseous
fuel with which to operate or
binary zinc shelters there seems
to be assurance of such a supply
of natural gas in the KennewlcF
district. One well has been CIV

A GOOD CHANGE.
A Change Of Food Works Wonders

Wrong food and drink cause lot Of
trouble in this world. To change is
first aid when a person is Ill, particu-
larry from stomach and nervous trou-
bles. AS an illustration: A lady in
Mo. was brought around to health
again by leaving off coffee and some
articles of food that did not agree With
her.
She says:
For a number Of years | suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble which
kept getting worse until was i'll
most OF the time. About four years
ago | left OF coffee and began using
Postum. My stomach and bowels
improved right along, but | was so re-
duced in flesh and so nervous that the
least thing would overcome me.
Then changed my food and began
using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. lived on these two princi-
palIy for about four months. Day by
day gained in flesh and strength I'M
I'll the nervous trouble had disap-
peared. l feel that owe my health
to Postum and Grape-Nuts.
Husband was troubled, for a long
time, with occasional cramps, and
slept badly. Finally | prevailed upon
him to leave OF coffee and take
Postum. After he tried Postum for
q few days he found that he could
sleep and that his cramps disappeared.
He never went back to coffee" Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich
Postum comes In two forms:
Postum cereal-the original form
must be well boiled. 15c and 25C
packages.
Instant Postum soluble powder

a delicious beverage instantly. 30c

Both kinds are equally delicious and

Importance Of Thrift.

The present year marks the hun
hredth anniversary of savings banks
in the United States. The Philadel-
phia Savings Fund society came into
being in 1916. New York was three
years late in catching step with the
Quaker city. While the last decade
shows a remarkable increase in saw
ings deposits, America is far behind
some European countries in the prac-
tice of thrift. Only IL per cent of our
population is counted among the saw
ers, whereas France numbers 34.6 per
cent, or more than one-third OF its
people, in the class who lay By. The
importance of that fact is seen in the
financial stability of France under the
heavy strain of war,

The Habit Of Being Happy

Keeping oneself reasonably happy is
duty that ought not to be shirked.
Science is telling us these days that
to get out of the habit of enjoyment
is to get depressed in vitality and
vigor, to weaken In efficiency, and to
grow old before ones time. There is
nothing like laughter-not empty
headed laughter but the intelligent,
wholesome, kindly-hearted kind-to
keep people young and fresh and fit
for business and the obligations of liv-
ing. OF course this is a prescription
not easy to live up to always, but
there is no reasonable excuse for not
trying to do it, Sometimes it is just
about as easy to be happy as to be
miserable if one makes up his mind to
it, and there is no doubt at all as to
which pays the best-Onward.
