1t seems strange this MAY" so

met so many men who have tried
to ruin her. There must be some
thing wrong somewhere.
One woman recently wrote and
said 'in a 100 different ways had
! tested my husband and found he
would not do a dishonorable act"
Here is the solution of the prob
lem, too much testing. Is it any
wonder men go bad? II is my be-
lief II a woman conducts herself
In a proper manner, dresses de-
Gently. she will be shown respect
by all classes of men regardless of
their position.
My advice is, parents, teach
your girls to have clean mind in
well covered body, then we will
have fewer fallen men.
How can any sane person ex-
pect men to keep minded
with open invitations before them.
1t makes me desperate when l
think of these things, when ] see
the way some of these so-called
society women dress for their So
cial gatherings. Many of them
have no children, will not have, or
can not have, any children (their
health won't allow children), |
consider the most hardened GRIM
inal that ever stretched good
hemp, good, at the side of them.
No, May, do not say women owe
their downfall to men; they owe
1t to themselves.

God bless her for she had her
babies as they came. She COM
mitted no murder.
"One Juni Satis," your senti-
ments are mine also. S. S. L., you
said a mouth full, and Mrs. X. NJ.
j. and l. B. Merry, good for you,
well said.
VIII say again, let our men
alone; don't test them. They are
only human, God bless them. What
would many of us poor women do
without their support? You will
find they are what women make

Ollie

EDITOR THE TINES:
The county agriculturist was
out to our school house telling
the people to raise more garden
stuff. He seemed to think the
people should do more work, and
practice thrift.
Now i think that we have some
thrifty people here. | can't tell
you about all of them, but / would
like to tell you about Ollie. He
lives in Pierce county, and is also
interested In Thurston county;
that is, he keeps a small bunch of
cattle there. He gets up about 4
In the morning, puts the yoke
across his shoulders, hooks on two
buckets, and walks over to Thurs
ton county.
There he feeds the cattle,
cleans out the stable, milks the
cows and turns them out In the
pasture. Next he puts the yoke
across his shoulders again, and
carries his milk home to his wife
and family, who sell it to the
neighbors. Then Ollie must hurry
and eat his breakfast, because he
must be at the lumber yards be-
fore seven. Here he gets in 10
hours of good work.
| Then he must have supper as
soon as possible. After which. he
puts on the yoke again, hooks on
two buckets filled with potato
peelings and other waste vegeta-
bles that the family have gath
erred up from the neighbors, and
accompanied by his wife and one
of the children, he goes over in J
Thurston county again. He gath
ers in the cattle, feeds them and
milks them. Then he carries the
milk home and delivers 1t to his
customers.
Ollie also does the family cob
bling and general repair work
He has a large garden around the
house, raises potatoes around the
COW barn in Thurston county. Ills
wife takes in washing, and his
boys sell papers sometimes and
do other work.
On Sunday Ollie takes life a
little easier. He gets up at six,
instead of at four, then takes care
of the cattle and works a little in
the garden. Sometimes he also
works around the barn, or he
may hire team and either haul
manure for his garden or hay for
his cattle.
They tell me that Ollie is saving
a little money, and that after a
while he will either buy his
daughter a piano or his boys a
Ford.

LOTS OF
RECRUITS
SIGN UP

Within three hours after the
war resolution passes, and war is
officially declared, Tacoma's four
coast artillery companies will be
called into service and will leave
for one of the coast forts, was the
word given out by officers Thurs
day.
With 38 machine loads of Off
GERS and men canvassing all of
the towns adjacent to Tacoma for
recruits, and six recruiting sta
lions open in town, enlistments
for the four companies are pour
ing in fast.
Twenty-Five more men had
been signed up by Thursday noon,
making total of nearly so re-
cruits since the campaign started
Wednesday.
with congress voting on de-
claring war today, the need of
more men for the service is
keenly felt" said Maj. Ellison
Thursday morning. I'VE need at
least 800 men, and we hope to
have them before the call comes,
which l think will come about
three hours after the house votes
on war"
Thirty recruits were obtained
from Tacoma and Pierce county
Wednesday night for the four Ia
coma companies. Some of the
men who enlisted Wednesday
night are Robert ID. Chisholm,
Miller M. Riddell, Fred M. Geiger,
Gerald r. Fletcher, William e.

StOmachTrOubIeSAre
Due To Acidity
Tells Safe, Certain, Speedy Relief
For Acid Indigestion.

So-called stomach troubles
such as Indigestion, gas, sourness
stomach-ache and inability to re.
tain food, are in probably nine
cases out of ten, simply evidence
that excessive secretion of acid
Is taking place in the stomach,
causing the formation of gas and
acids.
Gas distends the stomach and
causes that full oppressive burn
ing feeling sometimes known as
heartburn, while the acid irritates
and inflames the delicate lining
of the stomach. The trouble lies
entirely in the excessive develop
ment or secretion of acid.
To stop or prevent this sour
ing of the food contents of the
stomach and to neutralize the
acid, and make 1t bland and harm
less, a teaspoonful of bisurated
magnesia, a good and effective
corrector of acid stomach, should
be taken In a quarter of a glass
of hot or cold water after eating
or whenever gas, sourness OF
acidity Is felt. This sweetens the
stomach and neutralizes the
acidity in a few moments and "a
a perfectly harmless and mex
pensive remedy to use.
An antacid, such as bisurated
magnesia, which can be obtained
from any druggist in either pow.

stomach to do its work properly

pared for the above purpose.

better for Mrs. Butts to remain quietly in her cell than to be removed at this time, and assures the officers that there is no danger at present.
 The charge against Mrs. Butts is assault with deadly weapon with in- tent to commit murder, and it is prob able that a later charge of murder will be placed against her, as Mrs. Charles butts' physician, it is understood, has given up the hope of her recovery. Practically certain that -he will not recover, the county feels it has a duty to society and will not remove the ac- cused woman from her cell unless the physical necessity arises.
