ANTI-CIGARETTE
WEEK APRIL %
Superintendent of League Says HOmf
Brew and Cigarettes Are Twin
FyiIs-NO Prohibition,

CHICAGO, March 24-The week be
ginr,ing April % has been designated as
"National Anti-Cigarette Week by the
National Anti Cigarette league, accor ding
TO aLl announcement made today by Miss
Lucy Page CASTOR, superintendent o + the
league.
In her announcement today, Miss Gas
ton says:
I've cannot hope that prohibitic of
liquor will be q success until the igar-
cite is eliminated, because cigarette nnOk-
ing creates Il craving which only al c0hol
can satisfy. Home brew and ciga cettes
are twin evils, neither of which is Jdkely
to be abolished successfully while; the
other remains with us.
1.-THE National Anti-Cigarette league
stands for the complete determination of
the cigarette through education, law en-
forcement and prohibition legislation, but
we are not seeking to prohibit tn o sale
and by luinors.
The astounding increase in cigarette
smoking BY women and girls is cause for
genuine alarm owing to the fact tn at this
/ habit strikes directly at the fountain of
/ life thereby imperilling the virility and
strength of future generations.
| The unreasonable harm winch the
cigarette is caUsing to youth of America
| is now widely recognized by parents
teachers and others interested in the well
| fare of the rising generation. The COM
immunity organization plan of our Clean
Life movement is proving to be just what
is needed not only to combat the cigarette
! but other evils that menace the health
and morals of the youth of every COM
munity."

broken down from overWEork- That was
the case with MIR. J. J. Toolin, Station
Agent at Wood River junction, Rhode

following letter to friend: -

the first bottle that am ordering several
bottles from my druggist for myself and
friends. l have suffered from stomach
trouble and constipation for years, anC
although / have used a great many
laxatives and tones, never knew of any
medicine to act the way Sanalt does.
must admit it is the best of all, for il
regulates the bowels without any unpleas
ant after-effect, and it tones up anC
strengthens the whole system. In M
case of a thoroughly run down condition

certainly worked wonders, and think i
is my duty to recommend it TO all m.

Past Presiding Officers.

Lively contests in both branches of
the legislature for the honor of pre-
siding over them gives an interest to
the list of former speakers of the
house and presidents pro TEN of the
senate. When the Lieutenant Govern
or is able to attend the senate he pre-
sides, but the president pro TEN has
been an exceedingly important officer
when the lieutenant governor has
acted as chief executive The fol-
lowing list of former speakers has
never been printed:
Speakers-1SS9-90 J. w. Feighan.
Of Spokane; 1891, A. F. Shaw, of
Vancouver; 1898, J. W. Arrasmith, of
Colfax; 1895, Ellis Morrison. of Sc
attic; 1897, Charles E. Cline, of New
Whatcom, now Bellingham, 1S99 f.
Hester Guie, of Seattle; 1901, r. B.
Albertson, of Seattle; 1908, W. H.
Hare, of Yakima; 1905, j. G. Megler,
of Brookfield; 1907, J. A. Falconer, of
Everett; 1909. Leo o. Meigs, of Yak
ina; 1911, Howard D. Taylor, of
Eagle Gorge; 1913, Howard D. Tay-
lor, of Eagle Gorge; 1915, WV. Con-
nor, of LaConner; 1917, Guy f. Kelly,
of Tacoma; 1919, Fred A. Adams, of
Spokane; 1921, f. Heister Guie, of
Seattle. All except Mr. Cline, a pop
ulist, were republicans.
The Importance of the office of
president pro tenn in the senate is in
dicated by the fact that when Lieut..
Governor Henry Mcbride became act
ing governor, Senator J. ]. Smith of
Enumclaw as president pro tenn was
the permanent presiding officer of
the 1903 session. A similar honor fell
70 Senator A. s. Ruth of Olympia in
1909 when Lieut.. Governor NJ. f. Hav
became acting governor and to Senat-
CT W. H. Paulhamus of Sumner in
1911 when Lieut.. Governor Hay again
could not preside. When Lieut.. Gov.
l.. F. Hart took over the executive du-
ties from Gov. Ernest Lister during
the 1919 session, Senator P. H. Carl
yon took the chair as president pro
tenn.

Paying Former Veterans.

Passage of soldier bonus bills by
several states at the last general
election has resulted in a flood of in
quiries to the bonus department of
State Auditor c. w. Clausen's office
for information needed to organize
new offices in other states. At the
same time, Ohio which has only got
ten a fair start in the work of reim-
bursting ex-service men has sent out
a statement showing the progress
several states have made in paying
bonuses voted. Minnesota has COM
pleted the task, paying s22,335, ,108 to
1lS,004 men. At the time the Ohio
statement was issued, Massachusetts,
had disbursed S1S163,230 and had
215,000 applications on file; Michigan
with l57,054 applications had paid
out S29,927,S New Jersey with
125,474 claims had paid S1O,671 100;
Washington with 60,567 applicants
had disbursed S12,27S,9s9; Wisconsin
with 113,401 claimants registered had
spent S15.4S9, ,436 and Ohio had 2l5.-
73S claims on file and already had
spend 500, ,700,635. These were listed

DOC SMELL
WINS BY K.O.
IN THIRD

The smoker held at The Wenatchee
Commercial club hall last Saturday
evening went over in nice shape be-
fore some 300 boxing fans.
Mickie Harmon, Wenatchee, won
the referees decision over Young
Wells of Portland, in the six-round
main event. Both boys showed a lot
of clever stuff but the crowd felt the
verdict should have been a draw, as
they received the decision with a
howl that shook the building.
Sewell Dean, Leavenworth. boxed a
six-round draw with Soldier Woods of
Seattle.
Art Fitzsimmons, Wenatchee, kay
oed Jack Owens, Seattle, in the third
round, after hitting the Seattle boy
at will.
The real fight of the evening was
between Doc Smell, Peshastin, and
Phil Lewis, Seattle 1t was the daddy
of them all and had the fans on their
toes from start to finish. Both boys
were willing mixers and did not slow
up once until Doc made his right
count on Phils stomach in the third.
Lewis sagged and Smell followed with
right to jaw. Lewis down for the
count of four. Doc followed with an
other right to jaw and the bout is
over.
Lewis has had sixty ring fights and
Smell is the first boy ever to knock
him off his feet This makes the
third straight kayo for Smell.
Young Veter, 1876 pounds, Leaven-
worth, won on foul in the third
round from Andy Landon, 145, after
carrying the fight to the big boy all
the way.

proved land kept pace with the in
creasing population until about 1885,
then more slowly until 1910. During
the decade 10000 it increased only
about 5To as compared with 15Tt
population increase until about 1906.
and has since increased more slowly
than population, but consumption per
capita has been maintained up to the
present time by diminishing our ex-
ports"
Speaking of the supply of swamp,
desert, and cut-over lands to meet the
demand for potential farms, he said:
"We have about 110 million acres of
swamp and desert lands that have
never produced anything except bull
frogs and jack rabbits. These lands
have very rich soil and will yield am
pie returns when we are sure it will
pay to drain and clear the swamps,
and to irrigate the deserts. Two
thirds of the drainable lands must al
so be cleared. Some of it is cypress
swamps the draining and clearing of
which would be very expensive.
Besides this we have some million
acres of forest and cut-over lands not
needing drainage. much of which at
one time produced luxuriant forests.
Some of this will make good farm
land. Some of it will never make
profitable farms. 1t would be mis-
take to spend money on steep hill
sides which are likely to be washed
away by torrential rains, and on the
poor sandy soils that later must be
abandoned. To these may be added
about 130 million acres of pasture
and range not irrigable and impos-
sible to produce crops in dry years"
Prof Waller spoke of the New Eng
land farms, many of them abandoned
because the cutting away of trees and
breaking up of sod has allowed the
rapid washing away of fertility from
the rocky hillsides.
eve have talked loud and long
dbout ehDlluoileu Iuet ought
to be abandoned" he said. "Many of
them should never have been defor-
ested. Some may be used for graz
ing lands if they can be centralized
into large stock farms.
"Our farmers are driving larger
teams, using more efficient machin-
cry, produ ing more per acre and per
;erson than ever before. Every Am
erican far:ner and farm laborer is, on
the average, feeding nine people 9th
r than himself in this country, and
cne in a foreign land. We boast of
the output per man. In all kinds of
American manufacture, prices and
profits depend upon the output per
man. Why not apply the same rule
