y One of nature's marvels is to be
the fond hopes of the inpt^ ""nhfa8t C°rnf °f,^e
state of Washington. It is a lake
which bears the name of Soap Lake,
and is three miles in length by one
mile in breadth. The water In the
lake tastes like a mixture of soap
and salt, and Its peculiar properties
are such that when the water is
heated no soap is required for a
bath, for as soon as the water conies
into contact with the natural oil of
the skin and is gently rubbed it
forms a beautiful lather.
The only drawback is that when
applied to the head one's hair is
apt tO\turn from its natural color
to a dusty red, if not washed with
fresh water. In other words, it
bleaches, the soda in the water no
doubt being the cause of this.
The Soap Lake is well known
throughout America 011 account of
its wonderful healing properties, In-
deed, it is asserted that its waters
provide a cure for all the ills the
flesh is heir to. Rheumatism, sltin
diseases, stomach and blood disor-
ders—all seem to give way to the
miraculous powers of the waters, and
scores of people go there for the pur-
pose of curing themselves of these
various complaints.
As a matter of fact, the waters of
the lake have been known to the In-
dians for generations past on ac-
count of their wonderful curative
powers, and even at the present
time parties of them camp at the
head of the lake during the gum
mer months.
On the shores of the lake are vari-
ous sanatoria which remain open all
the year round and attract many
vlsltora, who come la search of
beajth.—Tid Bits.
There has been some comment of
| late as to the probability of dividing
Texas into two or more states. We
i are emphatically and irrevocably op-
| posed to such a division. The sug-
gestions have been made that thej
proposed division of the state will be
forced upon us as the only satisfac-
tory solution of the prohibition ques-
tion. If this prophecy is to be real-
ized we trust that it will be delayed
until our patriotic love for our coun-
try shall wither and die.

A movement has been Inaugurated
to have all the nations of the world
join in the building of an Ideal City.
Hendrick Charles Anderson, an Amer-

for fourteen years, and desires that
the American government shall take
the lead in this enterprise. His plans
have met with the approval of a num-
ber Of Kuropean nations, some of
which are anxious to take the lead
and have the city established in their

If Hendrick Clinrles and his nssocl-

the map of Texas in connection with
a casual glance at some of the news-

they would make the startling dis-
covery that there are several hundred
ideal cities here, and that name of
Houston, Abou-ben-Adhenilike, leads
all the rest.—Davenport, in Houston

President Wilson's open break with
the democratic platform on the Pan-
ama canal tolls question, following
his remarks concerning the inviola-
bility of that platform to the women
suffrage advocates, will not be con-

dent's following among the latter.
However, President Wilson is'abso-^
