have observed instances where thor
ough whitewashing every month in the
year has had no great effect upon
Them
Whitewash, when dry, often pro-
duces scales that harbor millions OF
the pests and in trials with every sort
of disinfectant nothing has been found
that would effectually penetrate these
hiding places. A kerosene mixture
with the whitewash will frequently re-
duce the mites to such an extent that
the unobservant poultryman will be-
lieve them completely banished but
enough always remain to breed and
multiply to the same troublesome num-
bers within a few weeks with the re-
suit that ones labor is practically lost.
To get to the bottom of the trouble
where mites have gained strong foot
hold it is advisable in many instances'
to remove and burn the roosts as well
as nest boxes and litter. These should
lumber which has been treated to
thorough saturation of creosote or coal
tar product. Cracks between the
boards should be painted over with
warm grease that will harden when
cold, thus effectually sealing the com
mon retreats and breeding places
where subsequent sprayings of disin-
fectants would not penetrate.
With this precaution once taken
there should be no trouble from mites
for year at least and thereafter &C.
casional sprayings with a reliable dis
infectant will positively insure the
fowls against the tiny bloodsuckers.
The foregoing may seem quite a bit
of trouble but when one considers that
it forever banishess the sloppy chore of
whitewashing it will be readily admit
ted that it is worthy of the time and
labor.

Easy to Kill Groundhoss.

After two years work, the federal
department of biological survey has
discovered that the grounding is prob
ably the easiest rodent pest to con-
troll in this state, according to John
Finley, biological assistant at Olym-
pia.
"In demonstrating with alfalfa,
have found that at least 80 per cent
of the groundhogs can be killed with
one thorough distribution Of bait" said
Mr.. Finley in his report. Counting
only the groundhogs found dead above
ground, the total cost of the operation
is less than cent per grounding. 1t is
estimated that each grounding does
81 worth of damage season where
they are feeding exclusively in all
falfa or grain fields. Good farmers now
realize that with the cost of killing
so low they can not afford to harbor
this pest on their farms"

IMPROVED METHOD OF
CANNING RASPBERRIES

Wash the berries and pack into
jars which have been washed and are
hot. Pour over the berries boiling
syrup made by using 1-2 cup sugar
to cup water Have ready boiler
or large kettle filled with boiling wa
ter, and place the sealed jars of fruit
in 1t. Wrap the boiler in newspapers
or an old quilt to exclude the air and
leave for "a hours.
The fruit stays whole and does not
lose it's color as it does If cooked by
open kettle method. Raspberries and
strawberries canned by this process
are much superior to those canned by
the open kettle process.

will be astounded the way the food
half chewed is hurled into the stomach.
Here the poor overworked stomach
is forced to perform the duties Of the
! teeth, mastication, as well as Its
own work.
(b) Excess in fried foods, sweets,
tart cakes, hot breads, pancakes,
highly seasoned foods, tea, coffee, ETC.,
too much tobacco in one form or an
other.
(c) Infectious material from the
nose, mouth, gums, as well as absorb
ton from diseased tonsils and alb
cessed teeth.
I'D General debility due to over
work, worry and loss of sleep which
in turn produces nervousness and
lack of nerve stability.
From the foregoing list of causa-
tive factors, one is prone to think that
acidity of the stomach while distress
ing is not serious.
In answer to that, let us say that
in many cases this conclusion is cor
rect. There are, however, few or
ganic LESSONS of the stomach and in
testines which will give a similar
train of symptoms, lie. ulcer of the
stomach, cancer of the stomach, gall
bladder disease and chronic appendi-
citis, all of which are serious.
Therefore, when this condition per-.
sists for any length of time and the or
binary home remidies fail to relieve,
it would be advisable to consult your
family physician and have a thorough
study of the case made.
Remove the cause and the acidity
will remove itself, and above all things
do not lose sight of the old saying,
can ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure"

Acidity Of the Stomach.

AGILITY OF the Stomacn.
Perhaps one of the most common
complaints that physician has to deal
with is the so called "Acid Stomach"
More patients will come into the doc
tors Office with ready made dag
nosis of "Acidity of Stomach" than
of any other complaint with the pos
sible exception of Headaches.
Now before going into the subject
any further let US understand onGe for
all that 'Acidity of the Stomach" like
Headache" is not a disease, but is
a symptom.
How does one know that things are
not functioning properly? He notices
perhaps that there is sense of weight
or pressure in the stomach region, or
perhaps burning sensation with
belching or acid eructat1on, occurring
usually one-half to three-quarters of
an hour after eating, which is often
relieved by vomiting or sometimes by
taking little baking soda and water.
The symptoms enumerated above
are but few of the most common.
N ow comes the question, what is the
cause of this disturbance of diges-
tion?" It is not enough to say acid
in the stomach, because every normal
stomach has certain amount of n.y.
drochloric acid, upon which the func-
ton of digestion depends. Rather we
should say syperacidity, or increased
amount Of acid, is causing the abnor-
mality.
The most common factors in this
hypersecretion Of acid in the stomach
are as follows:
(a) Too hasty eating or boiling of
food, Stop and think how long it takes
the average individual to eat his meal,
especially the business man, and you

Naming of Columbia River;

ed from Bahia de la Asuncion" or
"Ensenada de Heceta" to|"Decepption
Bay" That was the situation when
Captain Gray made his discovery
In 1898, Alexander Mackenzie of the
Northwest company of Montreal, made
his memorable journey to the western
coast. He came upon large river
which he said the Indians called
"Tacootche-Tesse." This afterwards
turned out to be- the Fraser River,
but for time it was confused with
the Columbia. Captain Meriwether
Lewis mapped it as northern branch
of the Columbia, spelling it Sta
coutche." William Cullen Bryant in his
poem Thanatopsis (1812) revived and
gave wide circulation to Oregon" as
the name of the river. Another literary
name was Great River of the West"
which Of course, did not disturb Col
umbia as geographic term.
There are number of other geo.
graphic uses Of the word in the state
of Washington; in fact, when the bill
was introduced into Congress to create
the new territory it bore the name
Columbia" This was changed to
Washington during the debate in the
House of Representative, February,
1853.

How the great river which runs
through the state of Washington came
to be permanently called the Columbia,
how that was the original name given
to the territory of Washington, and
other geographic uses OF the word in
the Northwest, are told by Edmond S.
Meany, professor of history at the
University of Washington, in an ar
ticle recently published in the Wash.
ington Historical Quarterly, printed on
the university campus.
Columbia, according to Professor
Meany, is the most abundantly used
geographic name in America. Aside
from the beauty of the word, its his
tory reflects efforts to honor the
achievements of Christopher Column
bus. Its greatest use. in the Pacific
Northwest is as the name of the
great river. Captain Robert Gray, in
the American vessel Columb ia, on May
II, 1892, at 8 p. M, sailed through
the breakers and at / p. M, anchored
in the river ten miles from it's mouth.
On May 10, Captain Gray gave his
ships name to the river. This was
the American discovery and naming of
the river.
Prior to this, the rivers existence
had been suspected and other names
had been suggested. In 1766-1767
Jonathan Craver, while exploring
among the Indians of Minnesota, wrote
about a great river of the west and
called it "Oregon,' beautiful word
which he is now believed to have
coined. In Its, Bruno Heceta, Span
ish explorer, noted the indications of a
river there. He called the entrance
Bahia de la Asuncion," the northern
cape "San Rogue" and the southern
point "Cabo Frondoso." Later Spanish
charts showed the entrance as EN-
senada de Heceta," and the surmised
river as "San Rogue"
In 1878, John Meares, English ex
plorer and fur trader, sought for and
denied the existence of the Spanish
river Saint Roc" He called the
Spaniard's "San Rogue" Cape Disap

BUSINESS MAN GIVES
PRIZES TO DAIRYMEN
A Prize Of s25 Given Because Dairy
man Increased Dairy Herd
Average.

In order to stimulate the better pro-
duction of butterfat in the dairy herds
connected with the Grays Harbor
county Cow Testing Association, the
Manard Company Of Elma, offered
$25.00 for the dairyman increasing the
average butterfat production the most
during the past year. George Timer
stet Of Montesano won the prize by
making the largest increase in butter
fat production on his COWS over a
years time
Mr.. Tinnerstet increased the pro.
duction of his herd by 433 pounds
OF butterfat per year which was valued
at $42.O4 per COW, or made a net pro-
fit above feed costs of $14.O4. On his
Is COWS, he made $252.72 more than
was made the year previous.
The second highest man in the con-
test, which was put on for members
OF the Grays Harbor COW testing as
ISOLATION, was A. A. Seifert, who
raised his herd butterfat production
by 1873 pounds.
IF every dairyman in the country"
said Arthur Calow of the Manard
Company in presenting the prize, had
increased his production one-half as
much per COW as Mr.. Tinnerstet, it
would have meant $4,000 more profit
for the 5000 dairy cows in the coun-
try"
The presentation of the prize was
made part of the Second Annual
Livestock Tour. when 1t stopped for
lunch at Elma. "This was splen-
did Increase for herd in one year."
stated r. M. Turner, assistant direc-
tor of the extension service, in sepak-
ing Of the Accomplishment Of Mr.. Tin
nerstet. 1T is only by knowing what
your herd is doing, that the founda-
tion is laid to build up the produc-
ton per COW. It is a better investment
to have good producing stock than
poor stock AS this demonstration
showed, for every dollar spent for bet
ter feeding, there was return of three
dollars in milk production"

He whispered to Lady Lydiard as she

still incapable of speaking-she bowed
her head in silent assent. Robert hur-

intreatingly. Her ladyship permits 1t,

Isabel looked at him, felt for him,
and yielded.
"Yes,s she answered, softly; ito

She waited little to compose herself
