STATU GAMBLING HIGH
I’HICKS WILL COMK DOWN
OLYMPIA, Oct. 2.—Owing to the
liigh prices quoted and the belief that
there will be a slump later or that in
any event there will be an advantage
in buying in the open market the
state board of control has let no con
tracts for sugar, corn meal, hominy,
farina or beans at this time while
passing on the bids for supplies for
the state institution under its con
trol during the neht month. No con
tracts were let for May either, as the
bids run from $25 to $20 a ton.
Klour is $2 a barrel higher than
it was six months ago, but inasmuch
as the government has fixed the price
of wheat the board concluded to ac
cept the quoted price of *9.SO a bar
rel and at the price of wheat it i» not
figured flour will go any lower. The
board Is finding that while there have
been jumps in the prices of food
stuffs and feeds that clothing and oth
er supplies have.also Increased. Cot
ton goods In particular have gone up,
sheeting jumping from 40 cents a
yard and other goods in proportion.
It will be a few days yet before
I he board is able to announce the suc
cessful bidders for the various sup
plies.
KINO OK Rl'MANIA IS
RENEGADE, HA VS KAIHKR
AMSTERDAM. Oct. 6 —The Ger
man emperor. In addressing the vet
erans of the 1916 campaign in Ru
mania on Saturday, according to a
report received here from Berlin,
spoke of the Hohenzollern who had
succeeded a great and noble prince
and, notwithstanding all traditions,
did not know how to keep the faith.
Emperor William a»«o described King
Ferdinand of •Rumania (a member of
the house of Hohenzollern) as “the
renegade who at tbe time when Ger
many was engaged in a terrible war,
joined the enemies of the empire.”
The emperor spoke of the “eternal
miracle of German strength which had
been brilliantly proved,” adding:
“Indeed the avenging hand of the
Judge above us has sealed the fate of
His ruthless former friend. What the
Lord of Hosts may still have in store
we do not know, but, come what may,
we are able confidently to look the
world In the face. We did not will
this war, and if it be prolonged, it
is not our fault.”

A THROUGH TICKET
Via
Chicago, Milwauke & St, Paul Ry.
WHY
By buying a through ticket you save from $10.00 to
$15.00 as against buying to Seattle and re-buying
there.
By buying over the G. M. & St. P. Ry. you are as
sured the comfort that comes from riding behind an
electric locomotive—the most powerful in all the
world— and that personal attention which is a fea
ture of “Milwaukee” service.

POSTURE OF WOMEN.

Good or Bad Health.
Ml km Jessie B. Merrick, director of
physical educatiou for women In the
University of Washington, insists that
every woman's home or office be a la
boratory of health. She points out that
there was a time when woman's house
hold duties were so varied that all her
muscles were brought Into play. Work
has become so highly specialised, how
ever, and woman has taken her place so
actively In the business world with
man that she Is deprived of the oppor
tunity to live a rational life In which
ahe would exercise every part of the
body In accordance with Its natural
functions.
Good posture Is to be thought about.
It detiends upon the ms In ten ace of nat
ural conditions of Ilfs. Some health
specialists attribute all abnormalities
of health to bad posture. Depressed
mental condition. 111 fitting clothing
and poorly adapted furniture all con
tribute to n slouchy sitting or standing
posture.
Bad [mature Is blamed for such dis
eases as sciatica and lumbago.
Good [mature represents initiative,
courage, responsibility, self control and
self direction.
A strong nervous system is to be
Sained by physical activity In games,
ances and exercises involving rhythm.
HE INVENTS WORDS.
This Man Find* Tarma to Fit Emergen
cies For the Dictionaries.
There are in the world many un
usual and unique occupations, but per
haps the strangest of ail which pays a
good Income is that of a New York
newspaper man wild earns. In addition
to ids regular salary from the paper,
rather regular amounts from the pub
lishers of dictionaries, encyclopedias
and other such volumes. His occupa
tion is tlie inventing of new words.
The casual observer would bo in
clined to remark that the English lan
guage already possesses enough words
for all uses without the Invention of
any new ones, und probably his state
ment would bo fact. Nevertheless It is
true that this man is paid substantial
sums for inventing new words to tit
special phases, situations, occupations
and occurrences, and that the publish
ers of dictionaries will iu< mjiorutc into
them any new word based on substan
tial derivatives for the existence or
which a plausible reason can be made.
The progress of modern business, and
especially the discoveries tliut have
been made in I lie* Holds of electricity
and medicine in the last decade, have
been responsible for the incorporation
Into tlie language of many new words

Abandon Food Prejudice*.
Don't l»e finicky. Bo willing to try '
new foods. Certain plentiful und nour
ishing foods widely usc>d and enjoyed
in one section are practically unknown
In other sections of tlie country. Learn
to know all the good tilings, not a few
only.
People too easily get into food ruts,
insist on eating only the food they are ,
used to and refuse to give a fair trial ,
to others. This causes undue dernnnd
for certain staples, with resulting
scarcity or high prices when crops ar !
short At tlie game time other valuable
foods may be relatively cheap ami
available. A striking Instance of this i
is failure fully Jo appreciate rice- a
valuable source of starch— when pota
toes a,-e scarce and high. Another ex
mv'le is refusal in certain sections to
use an.vtning hut wheat ns a bread- i
stuff, when corn—a valuable cereal 1
widely list'd elsewhere as a breadstuff
—Is plentiful and relatively cheap-- i

Aa to Eating.
It la a good plau not to eat when you
are hurried.
When you are troubled.
When you have no appetite.
When you are laboring under any
strain of mind.
When you cannot lay aside every
care and give yourself up to leisure by
enjoyment of the meal.
