CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
REFORMED CRANE

Christian Science will cure the
tobacco habit, according to the
testimony of George T. Crane given
last night at a meeting of local
Christian Scientists at Post and
Fifth. Mr.. Crane said he was an
inveterate smoker for 20 years, a
hopeless devotee of nicotine.
Finally he embraced Christian
Science and one day it put the to-
bacco to the bad for all time.
Another interesting instance Of
Christian Science curing was re-
lated by a woman who said that
a quantity of prussic acid had been
accidentally thrown into her face
in photograph studio. AS she
stood writing in agony Christian
Science friend came TO her rescue
and when she removed her hands
the evil effects of the acid burns
had vanished. Another woman
cited the case of a little boy who
was cured of a wound caused by
running a rusty nail in his foot.

FARMER COMPLAINS TO

TON, ~~

On the strength of newspaper
estimate of Spokane millionaires,
George Johnson, who designates
himself a farmer, has served a re-
quest on Judge Sullivan for a
grand jury to investigate the
county assessor. Mr.. Johnson fig
ures that the millionaires have
been overlooked entirely in the as
sessed valuation of $51,O00,OO0 for
the county, which has necessitated
a total tax levy of approximately
80 mills. He wants the assessor in
dicted for neglect of duty. Protest
is also made to the prosecuting at
torney. Both are dated Spokane
and read as follows:
Judge E. II. Sullivan, Dear Sir:

BURGLAR CALMLY
KEEPS BUSY

Another bold daylight robbery
occurred about 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon at the home of Mrs. John
Ellis, S604 Cannon st. On account
of the many reports of recent bur
glaries Mrs. Ellis had hidden all OF
her valuables. When she returned
from the courthouse in the even
ing she found the back door TO her
home wide open. Investigation dis
closed that the house had been ran
sacked from cellar to garnet. Grips
had been cut open, trunks broken
and contents of bureau drawers
scattered about.
Detective Lister was sent to in
vestigate. A neighbor of Mrs. Ell
lis saw the burglar at work, but he
was so bold in his operations that
she believed him someone acquaint-
ed with Mrs. Ellis who had the
privilege of entering the house.
First the stranger tried the front
door, then the rear door. Failing
to gain entrance at either place he
broke the cellar window and
crawled through He left by the
rear door, seemingly in no hurry
or fear.
Mrs. Ellis said this morning that
she misses nothing of value that
she can recollect, although missing
articles may be noticed later.

Today Let Us Not Forget These
Who Are Not in the Sunshine
BY EvANGELINE BOOTH

BY EvANGELINE BOOTH
Commander Of the Salvation Army
in America
To me Thanksgiving day has al
ways seemed one of the happiest
thoughts of the new world. Oh,
that this years festival may be a
HOLIDAY indeed.
What land has greater cause for
gratitude to the Giver of all our
good? His bounteous hand has
decked the orchards, carpeted the
hills, and filed our granaries; His
tender wing has o'ershadowed our
path, guarding us from perils fear
ed and hidden; His divine voice
amid the distractions and whirl Of
life's stern battle has spoken of
peace which this world can neither
give nor take, and reminded of an
other and a better country-"that
is an heavenly"
So in the happy celebration Of
our Thanksgiving, we must keep
in the spirit of which it speaks.
Gratitude is one of the noblest SEN
timents that can take hold Of the
human-it enlarges the heart,
widens the vision and compassion
ates the soul. 1t puts the finite in
right attitude toward the Infinite
and adjusts mans relationship
with his fellows.
With hearts all athrob with
praise let us give God all the glory,
and in our JOY not forget those into
whose lives more rain than sun
shine has fallen, and do our full
share toward their cheer and
blessing
