| notice the name of only one man
as the owner of these buildings. Be

names of others. The entire business
portion of Spokane was at one time
IN the thrall of the sporting classes.
Gradually these people were moved to
Their present location near the police

again bring them together. The off

WORSE THAN THE EVIL


Editor The Press: The love of money
is the root of all evil. The man or
men who accept money from immoral
women are thousand times worse
than the women themselves. Many
young girls who think they can earn
a good living are apt to be led astray
by the dazzling light of immortality.
BY paying mere fine they can lead
life of shame. The money will go to
enrich the city treasury. The city
officials boast of how much more money
they have collected this month than
last. These men should read the BIZ
BILE. The grand jury should be called
to stop the corruption now going on.
There are number of grafters in this
city who should be exposed, and / am
in a position to expose them. You
will hear from me again.

DO NOT WEAR A LONG FACE.
It Il q Great Handicap in All Bush

The man who looks as If he had lost
his last friend is in no danger of be-

not going out of their way nowadays
to associate with the man of mourn
full and melancholy appearance. They
are afraid he will tell them his trou-

they all have plenty of their own.
The most universal cause Of the
forlorn and hopeless appearance to-
day is dyspepsia. 1t units a man for
every duty of life and causes him to
become respondent and gloomy and
necessarily his looks do not belle his

himself and humanity in general.

ROW TO PREVENT CHoup.

1t will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or two
before the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by a
peculiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon
as the child becomes hoarse, or even
after the rough cough appears. and
it will dispel all symptoms of Group.
In this way all danger and anxiety
may be avoided. This remedy is
used by thousands of mothers and
has never been known to fail. 1t is.
in fact the only remedy that can al
ways be depended upon and that is

DON'T COUNT THE COST

DUN I OUUNI TIE COEoI.
Editor of The Press: / am pleased
to see people taking an interest in this
social evil subject. 1t proves that
there are some people who are not
morally dead and are not afraid to
voice their sentiments. Let the city
authorities quit counting the cost and
the moral reformer talking of what
should be, and get to the exact condi-
ton of the cribs remembering that no
good ever follows putting unjust bur-
dens on the helpless nor finding fault
with persons who fail to agree with
us. I think we all want the social
evil removed and the conditions of the
girls ameliorated. This is big job.
