When Bat Wing Bowles got up out of the dirt he was shaken in body and spirit. Certainiy, if there was any way by which a tenderfoot might hope to achieve a little hard-earned fame in the Far West, by riding bronks; and now, before) he could wipe the blood from his nose, they were blaming him for all their troubles. “The blank-blanked greenhora!” cursed Hardy Atkins, pacing to and fro and gazing at the bulk of Dun- bar. “I t ‘Im to keep off that hawse!

You boys | seen ‘im—he done it himse'f!” And then, all the anger and blood-tust that had been in Bowles’ heart for days went suddenly to his right hand, and putting his right shoulder bebind it, he smote the ex-twister on the jaw. It was a wicked blow, very much like the one he had received himself, and it laid the false cow-puncher low. He came up reaching for his gun, and Bowles knocked him down ‘BEST FOR LIVER, BOWELS STOMACH They Liven the Liver and} | Bowels and Straighten | You Right Up | Sick, With Breath Bad and Stomach Sour eR WORK WHILE VOU SLEEP Take and enjoy the nicest, gentlest liver | Tonight sure!

Editor Seattle Star: At the pres- ent time the high cost of living, and how to remedy it, seems to ¥ the principal subject of the day, and if 1 may be permitted I will offer a suggestion which, if carried out, will do more to reduce the high price of butter than anything I know of. That is for the legis- lature to repeal the present law which prevents or forbids the col- oring of oleomargarine. Knowing as much about the manufacturing of oleo as I do I would go farther and remove the compulsory stamping and taxing of it. If one person can produce a substitute for butter, or any other article of food that is just as nutritious, wholesome and clean as the real article and much cheaper to the consumer why should his product be-taxed and branded and the mark of Cain placed upon it? One of the great mistakes of the legislative bodies of this country has beg to protect the few pro- ducers at the expense of the many consumers, Let's have a square deal. Why flesh of another? I was talking to a man a few days ago and the ‘high cost of liv- — ing was mentioned and the man” said that the price of butter had dream came make fish of one and | gone so hugh he could not afford” to buy it; oleo, but that he had bought som when his children wh | were going to school and carried their lunches, were bread and oleo they were twitted by some of the other more fortu- nate children, This humiliation of these poor children was caused by our legislature placing a mark of distinction on the poor man’s food. Allow the coloring of oleo, Mr. Legislator, and you will do some thing that will prove a Godsend to the poor people of this,state. W. L.
