WORK OF FORMING
 NEW STATE STOPS
Proposed New Territory of Idaho and Washington May Fall Through
 Taxation Bothers.

Spokane, Wash. Sept. 3.-The lat est proposal for the formation of a new state from parts of Idaho and washington seems in danger of going thcsway of similar schemes that have preceded 1t ever since before either of the two states were admitted to the union.
 With the death of State Senator R. A. Hutchinson. chief sponsor of the new state plan in Washington, a pro- posed meeting of northern Idaho ana eastern Washington interests set for early September. apparently has been abandoned and supporters of the move ment in northern Idaho have been quot cd as expressing a doubt that the pres ont is n propitious time for preaching the proposal.
 A commission authorized by the last session of the Idaho state legislature to take steps looking toward formation or the new state has not been appointed. and doubt has been expressed that It ever will be named.
 One new element recently injected into the discussion is that of taxation. The tax rate in Washington is much higher than that of Idaho. it Is point cd out. and fears have been voiced that this would deter Idaho tax payers from favoring the proposal at this time.

The Doctor Was Not Much Needed Until Folk

Doctors Preach Prevention ls Better Than Cure.
 Ninety per cent of all disease is preventable, so doctors say. Eat simple food, exercise wisely, sleep sufficiently, and-what is vitally inn portant-make sure of the daily, regular, thorough elimination of body waste, and the chances are nine to one that you will keep we'll, work efficiently and enjoy life. Bowel elimination of food and tissue waste is all-important. But in case of ir- regularity, disordered or imperfect action do not make the common mis- take of taking harsh, violently acting medicines, with the idea of forcing the bowels to act. Nature believes in mild methods. She responds best to persuasion.
 So in selecting a simple remedy to regulate and assure proper bov-e, action, you should not use harsh o,' violently acting remedies, no matter how much has been claimed for them. You should choose some we'll known, time tested, trial proven remedy, that has made its reput.,L ton by being used for many rears, by all sorts of people, all over tie world. Take Beecham's Pills for ,.mple Beecham's is household word, has been for many generations. Beech am's Pills is a household remedy, has been for over half century. People not only take Beecham's but recom- mend Beecham's to their friends. Their use is handed down from father to son or from mother to daughter, from one generation to another. Did you ever hear any complaint or criticism of Beecham's s? Isn't that a pretty powerful endorse ment of their worth? Druggists are glad to sell Beecham's.
