Your Health

The glands of the body influ-
ence the rate at which we use
our foods. They control the rate
of the growth of our tissues and
the rate of their repair. They
determine whether we shall be
male or female, and also what
happens to us after the sex &C.
Invites OF life have ended.
The extent to which our glands
function and the manner in which
they function is, therefore, of
vital Importance to the success
or failure of our lives.
Fortunately the glands repre-
sent an interlocking system, each
of them being able to take over
to some extent functions from
the others when for some reason
there may De failure. There are
cases in which a single gland
the pituitary-may become ex-
cessive in its action, producing a
giant, or diminished in its action,
producing a dwarf. From time
to time glands may act excessive
ly and then diminish activity.
DR.. Joseph c. Aub has suggest
ed that in general there is a ten
dency for the glands to be def
cient in their action during youth
and excessive in their action after
middle age. Detection of what
may be wrong with the function

We have learned most in recent
years is the thyroid gland, stu
ated in the lower part of the
neck. The chief secretion OF this
gland is substance which con-
tains iodine. yet iodine itself is
not substitute for this secre-
ton.
We know today that in certain
persons failure to develop prop
erly may be the result of insuffi-
cient thyroid and that in such
cases the giving of the thyroid
extract will produce excellent
results. However. an excessive
amount of thyroid is excessively
harmful to the body. The person
who has an excessive amount of
this secretion in his body will
burn his food too quickly, breathe
quickly. be hot and perspire, will
have a rapid heart beat and be
lumpy and nervous.
1t has become customary to
call people who rush around in an
overstimulsted manner hyper

other conditions which may pro-

which are perhaps chiefly emo

their special interests are under
benefic aspects.
Peace movements will be pro-
NOTED by women's organiza-

of ultimate disappointment in
high hopes.
Love affairs will flourish un-
der this CONFORMATION, but the
signs appear TO indicate that
they will be brief and disap-
pointing. Emotional instability
is forecast. Among the young
and hectic courtships and hasty
marriages will be prevalent.
This is forbidding day for
constructive thinking or salts
factory action in either private
business or government enter

steady progress in the field Of

Is some evidence to the effect
that part of the snti-Chinese
sentiment was due to the re-
fusal Of some Of the better class
Of Orientals to submit 10 a DIT
OF racketeering that had grown
I'D through the system of taxa
ton.
Because they could not own
property. the territorial legisla-
ture Of 1864 sought to make the
few Chinese here at that time
contribute to the public treas
ury by a tax Of S24 per head
collections to be made quarterly
by the sheriff. In 1866 the tax
was reduced TO SIC but the coli
lections were still in the hands
OF the sheriff and his deputies.
II was commonly asserted
that persons representing
themselves to be deputy
sheriffs would round up

even a Chinese mercantile
house and d and the
amount of the tax regard

had been paid.
When the Chinese sought re-
lief from this banditry, those
who had been profiting by 1t

after completion of the Ca
madam Pacific railroad to VAN
couver. These were joined by
a few responsible residents OF
the different communities and,
like the prairie fire started by
a match carelessly dropped, the
movement soon gained enorm-
Gus proportions.
The agitation which began in
Tacoma and Seattle about the
same time, spread throughout
Western Washington. News that
Chinese had been driven out OF
town in Wyoming and a dozen
of them killed while they were
running away from mob was
applauded by the aeitators here
who began to emulate the Wy
oming example.
Early in September, 1885,
the camp of Chinese hep
pickers In Squak valley,
King county. was attacked
at night and three of them
killed while they were sleep
ing. A few days later an
other mob attacked the
Chinese section of the Coal
Creek mining camp, burned
the quarters and severely
beat but did not kill any of
the occupants.
In the meantime Gov. Squire
was receiving letters from in
fluential persons all over the
country protesting what they
termed "lawless outrages. The
Chinese counsel at San Fran
cisco wrote the governor ask
ing that protection be given
Chinese life and property until
they could move peaceably out
of communities where they were
not wanted.

Balancing the Budget

Gosh in Treasury and
All Bills Paid
Gov. Squire Starts With
Fine Outlook
Then Race Hatred Rears
Its Ugly Head
MORE than that Of any other
AVA territorial governor, the adj
ministration of Watson c. Squire
was marked by important cpl
sodes of particular interest and
Importance TO Tacoma. Notably
so was the eviction of the Chin
csc in the first year of Gov.
Squire's regime and the renewed
activity in the construction of
the main line of the Northern
Pacific.
Gov. Squire succeeded William
c. Newell. whose administration
was notable for improving the
financial condition of the terri
tory and when Gov. Squire took
office it was excellent. The
budget, glory be, had been bal
anced." That operation in those
days did not present the intri-
cate problems that confront
those who would balance the
national budget in this year Of
our Lord. 1889. In fact, it was
comparatively simple.
When Gov. Newell took office
at the conclusion Of Gov. Fer
rvs term, he found that in spite
of the latter's efforts to put the
territory on cash basis, many
of the counties were still delin-
quent in payment of funds due
the territory. County commits
sioners used whatever was need
ed in the home territory and if
anything was left it was turned
over to the territorial treasurer.
Gov. Newell took hold of
this problem where Gov.
Ferry had left it and by the
end of his term the delin-
quencies had been cleaned
up.
Having been appointed by the
president of the United States
and being responsible only to
him and the secretary of the in
terror, the territorial governors
had an advantage not enjoyed
by governors who are elected by
the people. 1t would not have
been good politics for an elected
official to have turned the heat
on the delinquent counties as
did Gov. Newell.
There was some protest
at first but In the final
analysis it APPEARED that
most of the delinquencies
were due more to indiffer-
ence than inability to pay.
Constant hewing to the line
soon began to have an eff
feet. Instead of a deficit,
the balance sheet of July /,
1884, showed that the terri
tory was entirely out of debt
and there was "A cash bal
ance i'm the treasury
amounting to $47,901.8l.
From every standpoint the
outlook for Gov. Squire's adj
ministration was exceedingly
propitious until agitators and
mischief makers. some of whom
came from California, began to
