HIE HASPUBLIC REST ROOMWOMEN OF THE CITY ESTAB-
LISHED ROOM FOR CONVENI-
ENCE OF PEOPLE COMING IN
FROM THE COUNTRY.
Sunnyside has a public conveni-
ence that Wenatchee women have
often talked of as being a very cry-
ing need and there have been spas-
modic attempts made to establish a
public rest room here for women, but
so far there has been nothing decis-
ive done.
Sunnyside is a small town of about
1200 inhabitants in the fertile val-
ley of Yakima. This valley is set-
tled quite thickly, and while there
are many large ranches, the major-
ity are small ranches?twenty, for-
ty or eighty acres ?and are tributary
to this city, so a great many people
drive here to trade. If it happensto be windy or dusty the visitors pre-
sent a dishevelled and often a de-moralized appearance and would likesome convenient room where they
could retouch their toilet and restorethat harmonious and chic complete-
ness so dear to both men and wo-
men.The necessity existed and a few
| energetic women saw it and deter-mined to do something, but they hadnot a penny to start with; anyway,
they started. The Public Rest Roomclub sprang into existence. Thereare a president, secretary and treas-
urer and an executive board. The
president is a hustling, capable wo-
man. A room in the business por-
tion of Sunnyside was rented. Thefirst month's rent was donated tooffset the expense of putting theroom in order; it was papered andmade as cozy as possible. Tables,
stoves, floor coverings, rockers andother chairs, couch and other fur-niture and fixings were donated or
loaned, many of them not entirely
new. The telephone was also donat-ed. Bread, pies and cake were free-ly given for sale and a present ofabout 50 potatoes sacks, which weresold at 5 cents each. So Sunnyside
had a place where men, women andchildren could come in and enjoy awarm fire, a rocking chair, papers,
books and magazines. There is no
charge for any of these comforts, hut
a box for freewill offerings stands
upon the table.Men know where to find their
wives when they are through shop-
ping, and friends meet one another
there.The club is not a money-making
scheme, as no one gets a cent but
the matron. There is also a library
of about 500 books, including the
latest and best. The merchants con-tribute monthly about 25 cents and
upwards, which more than pays therent, and any surplus is used to add
another comfort to the rooms. Dur-
ing the one year of Its life about
4000 visits were paid to the restroom, and the merchants look upon
it as a good business investment.
The new quarters have four rooms ?
library, dining room, kitchen and a
room for ladles and babies.
HAS NO FEAR OF INVASION
Laurier Says Anglo-Saxons Will
Never War with Each Other.
A statement of Canada's view as to
the impossibility of future trouble
with the United States was made atan artillery luncheon in Ottawa by
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, prime ministerof Canada. He said:
"Canada has but little to fear that
she will ever be invaded. We have
but one neighbor on this continent,
the United States. While our fron-
tier has been crossed in the past, my
belief and the belief of Canadians
generally, is that among the great
Anglo-Saxon nations civilization has
reached a point where the shedding
of blood among them would be re-garded with horror equal to that withwhich a civil war would be contem-
plated. There is not reason to be-
lieve that Great Britain and the Unit-
ed States will ever again be at war,
or that Canadians will ever live in
any but peaceful relations with their
cousins, the great people of the Unit-
ed States."
Good Liniment.
You will hunt a good while before
you find a preparation thit is equal
to Chamberlain's Liniment as a curefor muscular and rheumatic pains,
for the cure of sprains and sorenessof the muscles. It is equally rain-able for lame back and all deep seat-
ed muscular pains. 25 and 60 cent*
