PILLS ARE OFTEN
DANGEROUS

MOST laxatives have to be taken
IN ever-increasing doses. Other
wise, they lose their power. The
body needs roughage.
One of the most natural ways
to obtain this roughage is by eat
ing delicious cereal: Kellogg's
ALL-BRAN. Read what Mr..
Albert f. Parker of Massachu-
sets has to say:
81 am 52 years old and have
put in years suffering from con-
stipation. Bought all kinds of
pills and drugged myself with
them and awoke lots Of MORN
ings with a headache.
Haven't taken one pill since
i began on Kellogg's ALL-BRAN.
] am now feeling the best / have
felt in 20 years"
Two tablespoonfuls of ALL
BRAN daily are guaranteed TO
give relief. At your grocer's,
in the red-and-green package.

MODERN MEDICINE
TALK CONTINUED
BY DIR. HOUSE

Continuing a talk started two
weeks ago when high school seniors
were guests of the Rotary club, DR..
L. C. House game another inter-
esting address on the Romance OF
Modern Medicine" at yesterdays
meeting of Rotarians.
DR.. House gave detailed and
semi-humorous account of the re-
search work physicians have done
in discovering and isolating various
germs, notably the Asiatic cholera
and yellow fever germs.
He related the handicaps under
which these researches were con-
Quoted. the public, the press and
even fellow physicians scoffing at
the efforts of the pioneers who pur-
sued their investigations in the face
of jeaousy, and the scoffings of the
ignorant who were content to allow
things to remain as they were.
The physician explained the ex-
periments used in isolating the mos
quito which carried the yellow fever
germ and paid a deserved tribute
to the doctors who sacrificed their
lives in conducting the experiments.
1t Was their work, he said, which
enabled the government to build the
Panama canal, the French attempt
TO do so having been abandoned cue
to the heavy casualties caused by
yellow fever

While sulphur checks the mildew

however, is not injured by sulphur
and certain strains of honeydewS,

Efforts are being continued to find

BURTON AND VASHON
TO HAVE FIELD DAY

On Monday afternoon the pupils Of
the Burton and Vashon grammar
schools will hold a field day at Bur-
ton, on the field of the old Burton
high school.
There will be about Is events In
which boys and girls of all Of the
grades will take part. The youngsters
have been practicing diligently for the
past several weeks and indications are
that this will be an unusually inter-
esting contest between the two schools
Feeling that the school exhibits
customary in the past did not Justify
the labor involved the teachers of the
two buildings decided that the field
day would be of more benefit to the
pupils.
1t is hoped that there will be a good
turnout of parents and friends on
next Monday, to show the boys and
girls that there is an interest in their
activities.

BAKERY BEGINS OPERATION.

The new Island industry is now in
full progress, and from all indications
seems to justify the faith of the own
er, William Markham.
Mr.. Markham began the past week
to deliver his bakery goods to the
local stores, and Island merchants re-
port that their patrons seem well
satisfied, and that the quality goods
that come out of the new bakery
ovens is in greater demand than they
had even hoped for.
At the present time Mr.. Markham
is selling his bread principally through
the stores, but in a short time a shop
will be opened up in the room former
ly occupied by the Vashon Shoe Shop
which has moved to the room vacated
by w. D. Garvin.
1t is good sign when such an in
dustry starts on the Island, for our
most noticeable lack is that of home
production.

Proposes Forming
Welfare League

In making his rounds of the Island
as assessor, w. D. Garvin has dis
covered that there had been more
suffering from poverty on the Island
last winter than was suspected, and
that in several cases children were
unable to attend school on account Of
insufficient clothing.
Mr.. Garvin has suggested the FORM
ing Of welfare league on the Island
of at least hundred members who
will pledge fifty cents month toward
fund for handling such cases. A
committee composed of one person
from each school district, to investi-
gate cases of need, render the neces-
sary assistance, and send the bill to
the treasurer.
Mr.. Garvin would appreciate hear
ing the sentiment of the Island people
in the matter.

Strawberry Crop
Will Be Light

B. D. Mukai recently completed a
trip of 1000 miles during which he in
spected large number of strawberry
fields in Washington and Oregon. Mr..
Mukai made this survey at the re-
quest of number of brokers who
wished authoritative information on the
outlook for the 1881 crop.
Last year the Washington crop ex-
ceeded that of Oregon, but this year
the reverse is true. Mr.. Mukai found,
however, that the crop will be much
below that of last year, and estimates
that Oregon will have an 80 percent
crop, while Washington will have only
so percent crop. He attributes this
to the dry fall, which stunted the
plants; to the mild winter, which pre-
vented the usual destruction of insect
life, and to the late. cold spring.
This state of affairs seems to be the
most favorable sign for the strawberry
grower, for with the present declining
market full crop would have spelled
unparalleled low prices for barreled
berries. However, with prospects of
only light crop the chances for good
prices offsets this Mr. Mukai feels
that the growers will receive better
return for his crop than many had
dared to hope for.

Grade School
0peretta Pleases

The operetta, presented by the CEN
ter grade school pupils in the high
school auditorium Friday night was
splendid. When one considers that
three months ago these children knew
little about music except that it was
another method of making noise, one
marvels at what they have &C
complished under the direction of Mrs.
Lesh.
Every child took his part admirably.
The setting of florists shop was
realistic with flowers and greenery,
and the little band that played Bee
thoven on their toy instruments gave
the program a wonderful send off.
Mr. Parker's humorous speech of in
PRODUCTION and explanation held the
audience so enthralled that they pass
ed out their dimes and pennies to his
assisting flower girls without pro-
test. This offering was used to help
defray expenses.
Following this, chorus of florists
boys cleverly unfolded the plot when
they unsteady announced that they
were AL sold out" Then in came the
little girls dressed as roses, daffodils,
columbines, pansies, and violets, offer
| ing to take the place of the other
| flowers. They were sweet to hear, ana
sweeter to look at.
The two little boys that took the
part of the little green bugs were
greeted with enthusiasm. Following
their duet they hoped about the stage
and shifted the flowers so realistically
that one of them caught his antennae
on rose bush. He extricated himself
with true bug ingenuity, however, and
scuttled to his appointed corner.
The busy, buzzy, little boy bees were
as cute as bugs ears, especially when
they danced the folk dance with the
shy little woods violets, all singing,
Il See You, and You See Me-" 1t was
interesting to note how flirtations bees
could be-.
And we mustn't overlook the little
mustard flower! Bravely he stood in
his yellow costume and sang sweet
solo explaining his presence in the big
city.
The grand finale, with the children
in their colorful costumes all on the
stage at once, was beautiful, and they
sang the big chorus, I'm A Florists
Window" very well indeed.
All are to be complimented on the
clever way in which they played their
parts. Mrs. Lesh, Mrs. Lee and Mrs
Rodda showed ability in training
them, and the beauty of the costumes
was due to their planning and the CO.
operation Of the mothers who made
them. =.

much needed at this time when the
amount of free work has reached
nearly 80 percent.
The next meeting will be held on
June 18th at the home of Mrs. A. T.
