LISTERS MESSAGE

The evident desire of Gov Lister to work har-
monously with the legislature need not interfere
with an aggressive position Whatever is worth
fighting for, as a state policy, is worth fighting
for with all the vigor the governor can command.
The governor take definite and decided pol
icy on nonpartisan elections, on the bone dry
law, and on various economic administrative re-
forms. II is up to him to LEAD these fights He
must not permit nOnpartisanship, for example,
to slumber. He has become the natural leader of
that cause.
The governor is to be congratulated on the firm
stand he takes in opposing the increase in mill
tary levies at time when the nature of the ma
tonal defense system is still undecided.
On the other hand it is mark of weakness for
a governor to sdestep on the ''first aid," the
"mothers' pension" the logged-off land prob
lem and one or two other propositions, not the
least among which is the educational survey re-
port.
1t Is not enough for the governor to say that
"many persons believe the mothers pension law
could be amended so as to more justly provide
for the unfortunate situations arising in the
state" To put it that way is to dodge definite
recommendation
TO ask for just 'first aid and medical attend
ance bil'' counds excellent but is weak because
the question of what is just bill is the meat
in the cocoanut, the only point about which
there is any debate.
Lastly Though this does not exhaust the LIST
there is the problem of settling the wrangle Of
the higher educational institutions.
No question is to have such Importance as this
before the legislature, it now appears. Yet the
governor is silent on the main point in contro-
yersy.
1t takes courage for a chief executive to come
out, as Gov Lister did, for state wide nonparti-
sanship right after an initiative campaign failed
The governor therefore, does not lack courage.
But it is just as weak to dodge important is
sues, whether it is because he seeks Harmony
with Legislators, or whether it is through lack of
conviction.

Q o o o o o o o . . o . o o o
Dear Miss Gray: We have
have been taking The Times
for the past six years, and
think 1t the best paper in the
state.
We saw a letter in the
clearinghouse column, writ
ten by Alice o. Thorson, con-
corning the education of the
orphan children.
I'd like to say right here
that the orphan children get
more education in one day
than our children attending
public schools get in a week,
IL we depend on the so-called
teachers.
But we don't. The moth
ers and sometimes the fathers,
teach the children at home
nights and Sundays, and
where the mother or father is
dead and the mother has to go
out to work to bring in the
bread so the little ones can
live, the children stay in the
same grade two, three and
even four years.
I positively know q little
girl here that is IL years old
that has gone to school since
she was six years old, and Is
still in the second grade, with
no prospect of passing.
The girl is perfectly nor
NAL and bright, but her par
ents cannot read or write our
language, so the child has to
take whatever the teachers
want to give.
| have taught my child
evenings and Sundays. l am
through with my work at $3.50
and / teach from that time
until $3.50 and on Sundays I
teach two hours in the morn
ing and two in the after
noon.
The reason the orphan child
gets more education and is
better is because the people
that care for these homes
have the child's welfare at
heart.
If they didn't, they would
not choose that life work.
While in our schools we have
either frivolous girls or old
maids with some pet theory.
But in either case they care
nothing for the welfare of
our children. / have heard
more than one say, -"Oh, l
just hate children!"
And as for Washington
schools being better than any
other schools, It is an en-
tirely mistaken idea. learn

whose teacher taught chill

thisk of to get fat.
HUMAN BEAN-POLE.
Alt is constitutional for peO-
pie to be either tall and slight or
short and fat. Very likely you
have grown fast. Do not be dis
couraged, for as soon as you have
gained your full height you will
begin to fill out. Most of my read
ers complain they are too fat. be-
lieve they say it is easier to get
fat than 1t Is to get thin. Perhaps
you eat too much. Overeatfng is
Just as injurious as undereatink.
1t is not how much we eat, but how
well we assimilate. Assimilation
depends ON the general good
health. General health depends on
regular habits of living. Sleep at
least nine hours every night. Eat
three regular meals a day. Drink
plenty of water and eat plain.

Kidney & Co.
(BY DIR. ]. H. wATSON)

The kidneys and the skin work in
harmony. They're companions, the
skin being the second partner. If we
are anxious to keep well and preserve
the vitality of the kidneys and, also,
free the blood from noxious elements,
we must pay special attention to a
good action of the skin and to see that
the kidneys are flushed so as to elimi-
nate the poisons from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or In bath,
at least once week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
Of pure water with meals and between

will help flush the kidneys and the in
testines. You will find that Anuric is
many times more active than ithia
and that it dissolves uric acid as hot
water does sugar.
